1
00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:06,840
Speaker 1: Be Around the NFL Podcast, Greg can't wait to rep

2
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:11,920
Speaker 1: in Atlanta. Welcome to another dish of the Around the

3
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:15,400
Speaker 1: NFL Podcast. My name is Dan Answers, and I'm joined

4
00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:19,520
Speaker 1: in a stadium filled with heroes Mark Sessler, Chris Wessling,

5
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:24,639
Speaker 1: and Gregg Rose in ball. What is up? Boys? We

6
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:30,600
Speaker 1: are um concourse secually one nineteen to be exact, at

7
00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:35,400
Speaker 1: Mercedes Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia, the site of Super

8
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:41,320
Speaker 1: Bowl fifty three and another conquest for the New England Patriots,

9
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:46,160
Speaker 1: who playing essentially what was Greg a home football game?

10
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:50,319
Speaker 1: You maybe we're talking forty Patriots, Fenser, this building, maybe more,

11
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 1: maybe fifty cheering hard for a team that didn't put

12
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:57,320
Speaker 1: up a lot of points, but their defense hardly gave

13
00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 1: up any a thirteen to three win for the Path's

14
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 1: title number six. And I can feel the electricity coming

15
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:08,080
Speaker 1: off you, Greg. Well, another victory for the house. We

16
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:11,040
Speaker 1: gotta we gotta fake some energy here. We gotta get

17
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 1: up after a long, long week. And I know this

18
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 1: isn't gonna be one of your favorite podcasts, Dan, but

19
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 1: it was kind of an old school game in an

20
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:22,400
Speaker 1: old school night. It reminded me of New Orleans when

21
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 1: a lot of people were behind the Patriots, not necessarily

22
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 1: in that crowd but around the country that it did

23
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:30,920
Speaker 1: feel like a Patriots home game, and it almost made

24
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 1: it too easy to write after the game that it

25
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 1: was come full circle. It was teammates picking up Tom Brady,

26
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 1: who didn't play particularly well. I think he had one

27
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 1: of his worst games in what was probably his toughest

28
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:44,959
Speaker 1: season in a long time. It was a defense and

29
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 1: the linebackers, especially getting after the opposition. It was a

30
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 1: veteran secondary let that let them be creative upfront. It

31
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 1: was their best cornerback Stephon Gilmore having a great game

32
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 1: like Ty Law did back in the day. And it's

33
00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 1: special teams in defense. And you can almost imagine Bill

34
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 1: Belichick likes this, you know, like that he likes showing

35
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 1: that you can win games these types of ways. That

36
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 1: it all came back to how it started for this dynasty,

37
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:13,119
Speaker 1: which was defense. You heard Greg's big takeaway right there,

38
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 1: So let's go around the rest of the concourse filled

39
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:20,080
Speaker 1: with heroes West, what's your big takeaway from Super Bowl

40
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 1: fifty three. During the week on Twitter, there was a

41
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 1: lot of discussion about whether it was ridiculous to suggest

42
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:29,919
Speaker 1: that Julian Edelman is starting to build a Hall of

43
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,960
Speaker 1: Fame case, and I think it's no longer ridiculous to

44
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 1: talk about it. I think you have to talk about

45
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:37,680
Speaker 1: it that the way Julian Edelman has played, especially in

46
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:41,919
Speaker 1: the postseason, He's now behind only Jerry Rice and receptions

47
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 1: and yards in the postseason. The way he played there

48
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 1: this three game stretch where it's almost like a Larry

49
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 1: Fitzgerald level of play that he's had in the postseason,

50
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 1: you have to talk about him as a guy who

51
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 1: has a chance. There was during this playoff run and

52
00:02:56,520 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 1: into tonight. His his numbers speak for themselves. Ten for one,

53
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 1: forty one, twelve targets uh time after time, big plays

54
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 1: that move the chains and kept Patriots drives alive on

55
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 1: a day where their offense wasn't very good overall. And

56
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:14,920
Speaker 1: if you put watch him, if you keep your eyes

57
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 1: on him, UH won the ball snap he gets instant

58
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 1: separation right off the line. It's uncanny. I joked about

59
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 1: it on the Thursday Show, Mark that he's Jerry Rice

60
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:26,640
Speaker 1: from the Just Brought Uprights. He's Jerry Rice for the

61
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 1: first five weeks with the calendar season, but he could

62
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:31,080
Speaker 1: not be covered. At one point early in this game.

63
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 1: I believe he had seven catches uh midway or early

64
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 1: in the second quarter, and they just they had to

65
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 1: change their defense. The Ramps said, we cannot cover Julian

66
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 1: Edelman one on one. This is a thirty two, thirty

67
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 1: three year old UH wide receiver coming off knee surgery

68
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago. You know, I don't think

69
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 1: Marcus Peters is a perfect person to be on Julian

70
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 1: Edelman and Julian Edelman. You know, the route running, the

71
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 1: way that he created extra yardage after making you know,

72
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 1: they seemed to run the same play two Edelman and

73
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 1: Gronk over and over, like the old version of Tech

74
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 1: Navol with just four plays. But it works because he

75
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 1: was able to, you know, dart around defenders and get

76
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 1: those extra first down catches. My takeaway though, is that

77
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:19,480
Speaker 1: we spend so much time really bathing in this matchup

78
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:22,840
Speaker 1: between Bill Belichick and Sean Sean McVeigh. Sean McVeigh is

79
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 1: a great coach and he's going to be back here.

80
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 1: I'm sure he will be with his team, But he

81
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:29,479
Speaker 1: comes the way out of this game with a lot

82
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:33,039
Speaker 1: to reflect on and learn because the three games stretched

83
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 1: by New England's coaching staff is I think, for me,

84
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:38,600
Speaker 1: the best three game playoff coaching stretch that I've seen

85
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:42,239
Speaker 1: by any team. It starts for me with Brian Flores,

86
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 1: who you know, I was listening to the CBS broadcast

87
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:46,719
Speaker 1: on one of those little ear things that you can

88
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 1: switch between that and a Spanish broadcast. Well, I mean,

89
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:52,480
Speaker 1: I don't know any spends do you get this equipment?

90
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 1: I mean I should have maybe done it. How Is

91
00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 1: how Is? Romo was great, but I think Romo would

92
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 1: have Romo would have had the game been a little

93
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:05,440
Speaker 1: juice here, had the chance to have a little more

94
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:10,039
Speaker 1: of a juice here performance and barely mentioned Brian Flores

95
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:13,279
Speaker 1: deep into this game. Who now goes to the Miami Dolphins,

96
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:15,840
Speaker 1: and I think finally we might have someone pulled out

97
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:18,360
Speaker 1: of the Patriots system. We'll find out, We'll see, we'll see.

98
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 1: But you know what, he was phenomenal over this, this

99
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:23,280
Speaker 1: this three week stretch and what they did, what they

100
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 1: were able to do against the Rams. Who you start

101
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 1: to stay that people are starting to break down looking

102
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:30,279
Speaker 1: back at the film. They stayed in one eleven personnel

103
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:32,480
Speaker 1: the Rams. They did not move out of it. They

104
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,039
Speaker 1: did not adjust. It was the Patriots that were able

105
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 1: to make adjustments and the Rams never did. Sean mcbick

106
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 1: killed himself after the game for his own play calling.

107
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:43,720
Speaker 1: What a difference a year makes, too, because obviously, if

108
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 1: you work on Bill Belichick's staff, it is it is

109
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:48,719
Speaker 1: a gateway to get head coaching jobs. And we were

110
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 1: at this game last year when Matt Patricia's defense gets

111
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:54,920
Speaker 1: carved up for over five hundred yards and he gets

112
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 1: introduced as the Lions coached like three days later, and

113
00:05:58,000 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 1: it was a little bit awkward because it was like,

114
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,719
Speaker 1: You're supposed to be this defensive guru and you just

115
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:05,040
Speaker 1: got shredded in the biggest game of your life. I

116
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 1: imagine Lions fans were a little, you know, worried about that,

117
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 1: and they're probably still worried about that, Patricia. Now the

118
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 1: Dolphins fans and Dolphins fans don't get a lot of

119
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 1: nice things, but even handsome Hank, our friend who's Miami fan,

120
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:18,840
Speaker 1: has to be feeling great now. All of a sudden,

121
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 1: you're like, whoa, we got the gifted defensive mind of

122
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:25,159
Speaker 1: a generation. But that's what this game spawns a lot

123
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 1: of optimism. I'm sure in Miami tonight after what we saw,

124
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,360
Speaker 1: their defensive personnel wasn't that much better this year than

125
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 1: it was a year ago. And and so you have

126
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 1: to credit the coaching for being better. And they were

127
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:38,280
Speaker 1: better throughout the season on defense, and they were especially

128
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 1: better the last five weeks. That was a difference in

129
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 1: speaking of like how different this year is? This is

130
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:47,359
Speaker 1: our one the one year anniversary the Super Bowl was

131
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 1: of Josh McDaniels getting announced as a head coach of

132
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:53,919
Speaker 1: the Indianapolis Colts. And it's like, you have these two

133
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 1: old defensive mind know Flores did a great job too,

134
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:58,880
Speaker 1: but ultimately you have these two older defensive minds that

135
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 1: have been in the league for thirty ye or the years,

136
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 1: Bill Beljick and Wade Philps putting it on him them

137
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 1: young and McDaniels and Sean McVeigh in a year that

138
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:10,040
Speaker 1: all we did was talk about offense. My takeaway, uh

139
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 1: is it's in the realm of Marx is that it

140
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 1: was just a humbling night for Sean McVeigh in company.

141
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 1: But their quarterback, it was a tough, tough game for

142
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 1: Jared Goffer. We're gonna get into all that, and and

143
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 1: the big plays in this game. But I just didn't

144
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 1: think golf, you know, I don't think he rose in

145
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 1: the moment. And I know the offensive line did not

146
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 1: have a good game, and that shouldn't be overlooked either.

147
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 1: Los Angeles is old line allowed the quarterback to get

148
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 1: hit and hit a lot, and the young quarterback Jared

149
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 1: Goff wilted. I think in this game, uh, and including

150
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 1: and the two biggest two of the biggest plays of

151
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 1: the game. Uh, he made fatal mistakes. So Jared Goff,

152
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 1: I still he is still obviously a guy that Rams

153
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 1: fans and Sean McVeigh should believe in. But this is

154
00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 1: the game that says, oh, I'll remember him coming up.

155
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 1: Smallness game. I mean, we talked at times where let's

156
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 1: diagnose one weakness that the Patriots, you know, could be

157
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 1: hurt by it. At times it was their lack of

158
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 1: pass rush. Tonight, they were so disruptive and again you

159
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:15,800
Speaker 1: were playing essentially Atulette Stadium. Tom Brady said that right

160
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 1: after the game. So for the second game in a row,

161
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 1: Jared Goff and the Rams were dealing with insane noise

162
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 1: and a lopsided crowd, but they got to him. They rushed,

163
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 1: they blitzed on like half their snaps on defense. They

164
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 1: went after Did that annoy you, Dan? You you started

165
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 1: this show with that? And I said the Patriots crowd

166
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 1: was that in your have it? No, not at all.

167
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:37,600
Speaker 1: In fact, this is the least annoying Patriots super Bowl

168
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 1: I've ever been a part of, just because there wasn't

169
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 1: a lot of like Jews in the sense of there

170
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:46,319
Speaker 1: was no epic comeback, there was no snatching victory from

171
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 1: the jaws of defeat. It was just uh Patriots team

172
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:52,760
Speaker 1: that kind of outlasted an opponent that just wasn't ready

173
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 1: for this game and wasn't able to get the job.

174
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:58,200
Speaker 1: Then it wasn't like a heartbreaking win for the Patriots

175
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:00,040
Speaker 1: from a Patriots tater, I didn't know if they of

176
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 1: fans because it was an advantage and and it was legit.

177
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 1: But what I was, what I meant to say, was

178
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:08,320
Speaker 1: that we were here all week and this place, this

179
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:12,559
Speaker 1: whole city, Atlanta was teaming. It was lousy with Patriots fans.

180
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:15,720
Speaker 1: And then I think an Uber driver said to me yesterday, Oh,

181
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:17,560
Speaker 1: all the Rams fans are getting in today, and I

182
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 1: was like, I don't think so. And they never did

183
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 1: show up there The telling moment for me was I

184
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:27,559
Speaker 1: was walking around the Convention Center outside the stadium before

185
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 1: the game, and they had dozens and dozens of people

186
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 1: that worked either for the league or for the Rams

187
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:36,440
Speaker 1: trying to hand out these yellow rally towels for free,

188
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:38,680
Speaker 1: trying to give out five at a time. I see

189
00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 1: when our producer Jason Kleinden gotta Rams that then they

190
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 1: couldn't give them away because there weren't enough Rams fans

191
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 1: in this building. So the fan base maybe wasn't ready

192
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 1: for the Super Bowl. Yet, either you're right and you're

193
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:54,080
Speaker 1: right about golf, and yet it's it is such a

194
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:57,079
Speaker 1: team game. It's like, did he play that much worse

195
00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 1: than Tom Brady? It's like, if you if you look

196
00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:01,560
Speaker 1: at the IFF score, Brady even had a worst game.

197
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 1: I don't know that. I wouldn't big drive in the

198
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:06,960
Speaker 1: fourth corps. I wouldn't go that far. But I think

199
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 1: Brady was lifted by his teammates and his coaches, certainly

200
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 1: more more than golf. And in a in a game

201
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:15,679
Speaker 1: where the Patriots defense and running game didn't show up

202
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 1: as much, you know, I mean it was a total

203
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 1: failure for the Rams because you opened the game with

204
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:23,520
Speaker 1: eight straight punts and not really any of those drives

205
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 1: said any sort of promise that they were going to

206
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:28,319
Speaker 1: get into flow on offense. Let's get into almost twice

207
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:30,800
Speaker 1: as many yards as the Rams. I mean this, Brady

208
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 1: had a better game than golf. Let's get into this

209
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:35,600
Speaker 1: game kind of going through some of the big plays,

210
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:38,960
Speaker 1: and we could uh stop down to talk about whenever

211
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:42,839
Speaker 1: we want, because this game starts with the Rams winning

212
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 1: the toss. Heads doesn't always work, just when it when

213
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 1: it matters. The far as I'm concerned, it worked. Yeah,

214
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:53,440
Speaker 1: well that's fair. The Rams win the kickoff, they defer,

215
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 1: the Patriots use the running game and start moving right

216
00:10:56,920 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 1: down the field. They're matriculating, as they say. Tom Brady

217
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:03,440
Speaker 1: drops back for his first pass of the game, and

218
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:06,200
Speaker 1: this happens. Chocolates half back to Brady, looking right all

219
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:07,720
Speaker 1: the way. He gets rid of it quickly. It sipped

220
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 1: up in the air, hit, intercepted, picks up at the

221
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 1: funny seven yard line. Tory Littleton with the takeaway on

222
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 1: the games first possession. That's our buddy JB. Long and

223
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 1: your neighbor there west of Rams radio. Uh, it was

224
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 1: a poor pass targeted and Chris Hogan who just cannot

225
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 1: catch a ball thrown to him by Tom Brady, which

226
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 1: is maybe a bit of an indictment. This was Chris

227
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 1: Sogan's last game as a Patriot. Let's be real, it

228
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 1: would have to be so in auspice should start for

229
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:39,199
Speaker 1: Brady and the Pats. But it didn't matter because, like

230
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 1: you said, Mark, after that, the Rams are in a

231
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 1: total shell. In fact, these are the This is the

232
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:49,960
Speaker 1: first half for the Rams on offense. Three plays punt

233
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 1: five place punt three plays punt five place pump punt

234
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 1: three place punt three places punt half. So while the

235
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 1: Patriots are trying to figure their stuff out, the Rams

236
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:04,960
Speaker 1: weren't even showing a pulsewiss the Rams. This is why I,

237
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:07,520
Speaker 1: you know, I kind of bristle with the notion that

238
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:11,600
Speaker 1: the golf only barely outplayed Brady. No, I'm not trying

239
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 1: to performances. Might be the worst Super Bowl performance I've

240
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 1: ever seen by a quarterback. He held the balls super Bowl.

241
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:20,360
Speaker 1: It's on the same level. He just held the ball

242
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:23,560
Speaker 1: so long and and Brady was getting rid of the

243
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 1: ball at least, and I think that was a difference.

244
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 1: But this Rams offense, we went in to do a

245
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:30,079
Speaker 1: Sky Sports hit And Neil Reynolds must have asked me

246
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:32,720
Speaker 1: the same question four different times. What can the Rams

247
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:34,440
Speaker 1: do differently? Do they have to get creative? Do they

248
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:36,559
Speaker 1: have to come up with trick plays? What can they

249
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:39,719
Speaker 1: do differently? And nothing was working, including the running game,

250
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:42,320
Speaker 1: which they came out and they tried, they tried to run,

251
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:45,360
Speaker 1: they couldn't. And I think, as a Patriots fan, like

252
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 1: what was so satisfying is everyone got in on the action.

253
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 1: It was it was hard to even like pick one

254
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:53,640
Speaker 1: guy in the first half that's totally standing out. Kyle

255
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 1: Vannoy had a ridiculous postseason. I would say he was

256
00:12:57,040 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 1: their postseason defensive m v P. Tree Flowers would be close,

257
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 1: but Van Noy and Gilmore, you know, we're awesome in

258
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:05,320
Speaker 1: this game. But it was also wise in the first

259
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 1: half making plays. It was our old friend Danny Shelton

260
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:10,640
Speaker 1: from the Browns that that move finally paid it off

261
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:12,679
Speaker 1: with a couple of plays, and it was like it

262
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:15,319
Speaker 1: didn't matter which one. It was like someone was winning.

263
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:20,240
Speaker 1: Todd Gurley, you know, we could put the bow on

264
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:23,680
Speaker 1: what was a incredibly mysterious and frustrating end of the

265
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 1: season for one of the league's best players. He's he

266
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,960
Speaker 1: was once again. Uh and a report emerged by Ian

267
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:32,640
Speaker 1: Rappaport of NFL Network that it would be a time

268
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:35,880
Speaker 1: share on Sunday, and that's exactly what happened. Uh. He

269
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:39,800
Speaker 1: had ten touches on the ground and one catch for

270
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:43,040
Speaker 1: a negative one yard through the area thirty five yards.

271
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:46,120
Speaker 1: He just wasn't the same guy. Whatever it is, and

272
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:48,120
Speaker 1: you kind of want to be surprised West if we

273
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 1: if we hear more. Despite them saying that his name

274
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:54,960
Speaker 1: was healthy, he was never right in the playoffs. I

275
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:58,360
Speaker 1: fully expect to hear that there's more to it, and really, yes,

276
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:01,600
Speaker 1: we've we've seen this guy play when he's healthy. He

277
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:04,439
Speaker 1: is a first team All Pro Offensive Player of the

278
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 1: Year m VP candidate when he's healthy, and when he's

279
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 1: whatever he is now he's in a time share and

280
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 1: can't do anything effective. Like basketball players going slumps, they're great,

281
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 1: baseball pitchers have a bad month. He he played two

282
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 1: and a half times as many snaps as CZJ Anderson.

283
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:23,960
Speaker 1: So the reality is he played two thirds of this game,

284
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 1: which is which is not a typical. His confidence, for

285
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 1: whatever reason, seemed to be a problem. They didn't seem

286
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 1: to trust them in past protection and I don't know.

287
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:36,320
Speaker 1: I mean, he just wasn't a confidention like c. J.

288
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:40,720
Speaker 1: Anderson on the sideline talking to him to all game

289
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:42,800
Speaker 1: and confidence is an issue, But what would be the

290
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:45,240
Speaker 1: number one reason running back with lack confidence? It's if

291
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:47,360
Speaker 1: you don't feel fully healthy. I mean he doesn't. Yeah,

292
00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:49,760
Speaker 1: I would think it has to be tied to an injury.

293
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:52,200
Speaker 1: If we're talking about he has some type of crisis

294
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 1: and faith or belief in himself out of nowhere, that

295
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:58,280
Speaker 1: would be totally bizarre and really, quite frankly, more troublesome

296
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:01,200
Speaker 1: than a lingering me and Dnerson didn't do anything more

297
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:03,760
Speaker 1: in this game, and which was also a problem for them,

298
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:05,560
Speaker 1: And he's lucky he didn't lose a fumble as well.

299
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:07,600
Speaker 1: He fumbled, he didn't lose it. It It rolled out of bounds,

300
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 1: almost causing a huge turnover. But Anderson didn't do anything

301
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 1: in the NFC title game either, so that the bloom

302
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:15,000
Speaker 1: was a little bit off. The c J. Anderson rose

303
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 1: and with that gone and Todd Gurley still not playing

304
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 1: at a high level, the Rams were exposed a little

305
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 1: bit on offense and it put more on golf and

306
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:26,640
Speaker 1: that was not a good thing considering how poorly the

307
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 1: quarterback played today. They were they were never the same

308
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 1: after the you know, the game that revolutionized football or

309
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 1: you know, changed football forever. They were never the same

310
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:39,280
Speaker 1: from that point forward. They took a week off, they

311
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:43,400
Speaker 1: came back, and they were a below average passing game

312
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:47,920
Speaker 1: for how many weeks was that? Seven? Now eight? And

313
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:49,800
Speaker 1: that's a pretty long time. They were pretty They were

314
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:51,840
Speaker 1: good running team for for a chunk of that, but

315
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:55,119
Speaker 1: they were a below average passing team. So the Patriots

316
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:58,720
Speaker 1: greg have the ball constantly as a result of the

317
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:02,240
Speaker 1: drive charts that I just laid out earlier. The Patriots

318
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:05,480
Speaker 1: have the ball uh an exceeding amount of time, but

319
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:12,600
Speaker 1: uh Gaskowski misses his first field goal tempt badly. Uh.

320
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:15,080
Speaker 1: He eventually does hit a field goal uh to give

321
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:17,880
Speaker 1: them three points. But why weren't the Patriots able to

322
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 1: do more? Well? I was a number of things, and

323
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:24,240
Speaker 1: it was West mentioned to me. It was as stressed

324
00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:27,000
Speaker 1: and freaked out he's ever seen me. I think. Was

325
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:29,120
Speaker 1: that what you were going to say? West? It was?

326
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 1: The peace scale was at nine point five. And this

327
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:35,080
Speaker 1: is noteworthy because every time you're asked you say it's

328
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:38,480
Speaker 1: at one. Well, we never believe. Well, here's the thing,

329
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:40,400
Speaker 1: it's always that one before the game starts. When the

330
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 1: game starts, then it starts going up and doesn't even

331
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:45,880
Speaker 1: the most not just in football, it was the most

332
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 1: stressed and nervous I've ever seen you in life. It

333
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:51,040
Speaker 1: just seemed like they were so much they were better. Wow,

334
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 1: well I'll take that as a compliment. Uh. It just

335
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:55,560
Speaker 1: seemed like they were so much better, and they were

336
00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:59,520
Speaker 1: blowing so many opportunities through some unforced errors and just

337
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:02,440
Speaker 1: struggle was like they I just couldn't imagine the defensive

338
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:05,159
Speaker 1: performance that they had would last all game. And the

339
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:08,840
Speaker 1: fact that they're just have five drives in the first

340
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 1: half that reached at least the forty yard line of

341
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:15,520
Speaker 1: the Rams and they scored three points. I mean, that's unbelievable,

342
00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:18,360
Speaker 1: and that's so unpatriot like. And a lot of it

343
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:22,640
Speaker 1: was Tom Brady not feeling very comfortable and throwing groundballs

344
00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:26,520
Speaker 1: and throwing screen passes before it's time, and him just

345
00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:29,439
Speaker 1: not feeling like it's you know, it didn't feel like

346
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:30,920
Speaker 1: it was his night phone. I mean in the sense

347
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:34,280
Speaker 1: you're it felt to me unsuperabowl like for large periods

348
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 1: of time because these are, in theory the two best

349
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:39,720
Speaker 1: teams in the NFL unable to finish drives. And I

350
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 1: kept thinking around sort of late third quarter when it

351
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:46,760
Speaker 1: was just this low scoring, deadlocked affair, that whoever loses

352
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:49,520
Speaker 1: this is a torture film to have to watch and

353
00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 1: go back and look at what went wrong for whoever

354
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:57,359
Speaker 1: couldn't finish this game. Now a word from our sponsor, Hey, guys,

376
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:08,880
Speaker 1: Let's get back to the killer game. Let's now talk

377
00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:11,399
Speaker 1: about the fourth and one play for the Patriots. Was

378
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:14,000
Speaker 1: one thirteen to play in the second quarter. Like Greg

379
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:16,120
Speaker 1: was saying, they were able to get the ball past

380
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:18,879
Speaker 1: the fifty and then something was happening between like the

381
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:21,119
Speaker 1: forty and thirty yard line. In this case, they had

382
00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:24,520
Speaker 1: fourth in a long one from the thirty two and

383
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:27,400
Speaker 1: they had been running the ball to success all through

384
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:30,440
Speaker 1: the playoffs. But the Patriots go with an empty backfield

385
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:33,560
Speaker 1: Brady and shotgun formation, and here's how it played out

386
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:36,320
Speaker 1: the fourth bit one fourth and one in the past,

387
00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:39,040
Speaker 1: you're gonna go empty quarterback of Stendylahans and taking the

388
00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:41,560
Speaker 1: staff backs up looks to throw fires down the middle.

389
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:44,880
Speaker 1: Fourth Na wait, Don Brady threw that ball into traffic.

390
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:48,080
Speaker 1: Not a chance turn over on downs with one thirteen

391
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:52,679
Speaker 1: to go. Just stall city right now. On offense. I mean,

392
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:55,119
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, but the backs that we have in our

393
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:57,399
Speaker 1: emphasis to run the football with doubling and all that,

394
00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:01,040
Speaker 1: you can't pick up fourth one. We gotta fourth one

395
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:09,320
Speaker 1: again the rams have I mean I was, I was

396
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:11,280
Speaker 1: feeling the same way because that's all I got. The

397
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:14,120
Speaker 1: same guy, Let's just face it. No, I saw him

398
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:18,760
Speaker 1: earlier today, you know, Glad hogging and enjoying the the

399
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:22,280
Speaker 1: devotion that Patriots fans give him. And he he is

400
00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:24,960
Speaker 1: about three times as large as I am. I would

401
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:28,879
Speaker 1: say more than three times. It was driving me crazy,

402
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:32,919
Speaker 1: and that play was kind of typical Brady, not comfortable

403
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:34,840
Speaker 1: enough to hold the ball a little longer, to maybe

404
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:37,600
Speaker 1: try to find a different open receiver and throwing into traffic.

405
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:39,399
Speaker 1: There was a there was a third down where he

406
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:41,760
Speaker 1: just he had White wide open and he made White

407
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:44,480
Speaker 1: kind of dive for it, and that, like miss target,

408
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:46,000
Speaker 1: was the reason that play didn't work. And there was

409
00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:48,680
Speaker 1: a number of plays just like that in the first

410
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:51,119
Speaker 1: half and would in Waite. Phelps deserves a lot of

411
00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 1: credit for it too, though, like the interception was a

412
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:55,400
Speaker 1: play that he was just fool. They were playing zone

413
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:58,520
Speaker 1: defense and they were rotating after the snap, and I

414
00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:00,879
Speaker 1: can think of multiple plays and looting went to Hogan

415
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:03,120
Speaker 1: where Brady thought he had a guy wide open, and

416
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:05,320
Speaker 1: he was shocked that there was a Rams cornerback there.

417
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:08,720
Speaker 1: So we go into the half three nothing um in

418
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:10,680
Speaker 1: favor of the Patriots, and I'll tell you this, I

419
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:12,720
Speaker 1: went for a walk in the concourse and again it

420
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 1: cannot be understated how Propatriots this building was um to

421
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 1: the point where in the pregame stretches and things of

422
00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:24,440
Speaker 1: that nature when the Rams are coming out, the place

423
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:28,560
Speaker 1: just was. The booing was relentless, and anytime Brady came

424
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:30,600
Speaker 1: up on the on the and this is an amazing stadium.

425
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:34,160
Speaker 1: By the way, this stadium makes me want to pick

426
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:40,359
Speaker 1: it outside MetLife Stadium in New Jersey and take take

427
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:43,639
Speaker 1: the l Jets and Giants, get out the wrecking ball

428
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:48,320
Speaker 1: and try again. I know your facilities build this exact thing,

429
00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:50,400
Speaker 1: because I think not only should the Jets and Giants

430
00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:53,280
Speaker 1: tear down that dump that they got, I think a

431
00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:55,840
Speaker 1: lot of teams should come here and look at what

432
00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:59,000
Speaker 1: this place looks like. From the design of it, the

433
00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:03,040
Speaker 1: uniqueness of it, the Megatron's butth hole and also the

434
00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:07,119
Speaker 1: video screen which is state of the art. And Megatron's

435
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:10,119
Speaker 1: butth hole is the roof that opens up and in

436
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:13,320
Speaker 1: an act, a showy act that I really enjoyed, they

437
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:16,000
Speaker 1: opened it just so the Fighter Jets could go over

438
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:18,520
Speaker 1: and after Gladys Night did her opening and then they

439
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:20,920
Speaker 1: shut up. They shut the butt hole up and they said,

440
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:23,160
Speaker 1: let's get to football. The butthole clothes. I mean one

441
00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:26,000
Speaker 1: thing I'd say, when the Patriots go back to the

442
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:29,080
Speaker 1: Super Bowl next year, can we can we cease with

443
00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:31,640
Speaker 1: this narrative that Patriots fans have been to too many

444
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:33,160
Speaker 1: of these and no one's going to show up. This

445
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:35,640
Speaker 1: is essentially if you live in New England or your Patriot,

446
00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:37,800
Speaker 1: you build this into the family budget. At this point,

447
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:39,680
Speaker 1: we are all going to be going to the Super Bowl,

448
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:42,399
Speaker 1: four or five of us. Save your pennies in the summer,

449
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:45,359
Speaker 1: and you know, you know we are, we being the

450
00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:49,120
Speaker 1: media being everyone doesn't root for the Patriots, the opponents

451
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:52,840
Speaker 1: fans that come the opponents themselves. It's like Truman Show,

452
00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:58,199
Speaker 1: We're all here to serve as entertainment and fodder, cannon

453
00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:02,880
Speaker 1: fodder for this like forty thousand, uh people in one

454
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:06,520
Speaker 1: corner of the country and then Ricky Hollywood and Greg

455
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:11,119
Speaker 1: Rosenal Scott Zolac in this case, that's what this has become.

456
00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:13,879
Speaker 1: That was a different story twelve months ago on this

457
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:16,760
Speaker 1: the biggest sporting event in the world, number on Super

458
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:20,800
Speaker 1: Bowl Sunday. It's all about entertainment for a tiny portion

459
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:23,960
Speaker 1: of this country. And it's fine. That's not my point.

460
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:27,439
Speaker 1: My point is at halftime, I walked the concourse and

461
00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:30,639
Speaker 1: speaking of butts, people were walking a little tight butted

462
00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:33,600
Speaker 1: the Patriots And there wasn't a lot of whooping and

463
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:35,960
Speaker 1: hollering and hooting and hollering that you heard before the

464
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:38,520
Speaker 1: game when this felt like it was a coronation to

465
00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:40,720
Speaker 1: a lot of people who got their road trip on

466
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:43,000
Speaker 1: to beat up on the Rams. There was a nervous

467
00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:46,320
Speaker 1: energy in this building at halftime when it was three nothing,

468
00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:49,600
Speaker 1: because it was a weird half of football. It did

469
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:51,280
Speaker 1: feel like it could go either way. I don't think

470
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:53,200
Speaker 1: a lot of people that came to this game from

471
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:55,679
Speaker 1: your little area of the country, Greg, I thought this

472
00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:57,080
Speaker 1: was going to be a game. I think they came

473
00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:59,359
Speaker 1: here to celebrate. I mean, I don't know. That seems

474
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:02,520
Speaker 1: crazy to me because going into the game, you know,

475
00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:05,520
Speaker 1: these are two there. It's a it's a coin flip game.

476
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:07,760
Speaker 1: But you're right. At that point, I was feeling the

477
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 1: same way that you're right. A lot of people walking

478
00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:11,760
Speaker 1: around a feeling which was not good about the situation.

479
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:14,959
Speaker 1: It was just it's just uncomfortable to see Tom Brady

480
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:17,080
Speaker 1: playing that poorly in a game where you have so

481
00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:19,640
Speaker 1: many mischances. But the thing that made me feel better

482
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:23,280
Speaker 1: because you you mentioned the stadium, was all the delicious

483
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:26,280
Speaker 1: food options everywhere around this stadium. I mean, if you

484
00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:30,600
Speaker 1: have a great restaurant in Atlanta, there's a version of

485
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:32,600
Speaker 1: it in this stadium. So I just wanted to back

486
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:35,680
Speaker 1: up what you were saying, is the best stadium when

487
00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:38,200
Speaker 1: U two urban licks, you got the you know, you

488
00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:41,000
Speaker 1: got the barbecue places, you got it all. When halftime hit,

489
00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:43,520
Speaker 1: I thought of the two teams who combined for over

490
00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:46,400
Speaker 1: a hundred points in that shootout, the Chiefs and Rams,

491
00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:49,359
Speaker 1: two of the best offenses of the season, combined for

492
00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:52,119
Speaker 1: zero points in the first half. The list two games

493
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:56,080
Speaker 1: against the Patriots who allowed seven points in the first

494
00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:58,399
Speaker 1: half of three playoff games. The last team to do

495
00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:02,639
Speaker 1: that was the five Bears against three statistically of the

496
00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:07,200
Speaker 1: best five offenses in football. I mean, it's it's really

497
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:11,400
Speaker 1: insane because who is the Patriots best defensive players. It's

498
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:15,000
Speaker 1: what Flowers and Stefan Gilmore. But there, that's what I'm saying.

499
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:18,040
Speaker 1: Mentioned Brian Floors more than twice during the broadcast. Possibly

500
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:20,399
Speaker 1: you know that's fair. So we go to the second

501
00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:22,719
Speaker 1: half and it's more of the same punts on both sides,

502
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:27,320
Speaker 1: the Patriots and Rams um trading punts. And then on

503
00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:30,280
Speaker 1: the third possession of the third quarter of the Rams

504
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:34,840
Speaker 1: finally get to work. It's a ten play drive. Uh

505
00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:37,640
Speaker 1: it ends with a fifty three yard Greg the leg

506
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:43,440
Speaker 1: Zirlne field goal. But the play that will be remembered

507
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:47,240
Speaker 1: in a play Jason Kleman, our producer for Twitter, who's

508
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:50,080
Speaker 1: sitting behind Ricky Hollywood right now, right now we'll remember

509
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:53,800
Speaker 1: forever is Jared Goff and those late eyes over the

510
00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:56,760
Speaker 1: middle with Brandon Cooks all alone in the back of

511
00:25:56,800 --> 00:25:59,560
Speaker 1: the end zone. Let's listen to that. Calls from the

512
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:02,679
Speaker 1: t on they wanted thro go well protected. He climbs.

513
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:05,760
Speaker 1: He throws end zone all alone back of the end

514
00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:09,800
Speaker 1: zone incomplete to Brandon Cooks. He was underneath the goal

515
00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:12,359
Speaker 1: post and when Golf let it go, there wasn't a

516
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:17,119
Speaker 1: patriot within ten yards. Jason mccordy close quickly. That should

517
00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:21,359
Speaker 1: have been six disastrous And if you watched, like I

518
00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:23,399
Speaker 1: was saying, well, in this in this facility they have

519
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:26,520
Speaker 1: in the round video board that not only is it

520
00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:29,000
Speaker 1: they do a great job of stats, they have uh

521
00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:32,159
Speaker 1: instant replays on a high definition of screen. And you

522
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:34,600
Speaker 1: looked up at it and you can actually see Goff's

523
00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:38,040
Speaker 1: eyes scanning left and then he's there just a hair

524
00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:41,000
Speaker 1: too long. Finally sees Cooks and then I don't even

525
00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:43,040
Speaker 1: think he put a good ball on him West the

526
00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:45,080
Speaker 1: ball duck. It was a little bit of a duck

527
00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:47,879
Speaker 1: and allowed mccordy to catch up and knock it away.

528
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:50,920
Speaker 1: It was It was a game changing play. I wonder

529
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:53,120
Speaker 1: if the Rams win the game if that if golf

530
00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:55,720
Speaker 1: season is split second earlier, I mean, that was a

531
00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:58,280
Speaker 1: coverage bust. He was wide open, and I think the

532
00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:01,320
Speaker 1: whole stadium saw it before the quarter. He was slow

533
00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:04,919
Speaker 1: all game, but Jason mccordy deserves a ton of credit.

534
00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:08,679
Speaker 1: He made a few game changing plays that It's another

535
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:11,480
Speaker 1: trade that they made in the off season that had

536
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:14,720
Speaker 1: huge dividends. Basically gave up nothing for a guy who's

537
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:17,680
Speaker 1: played quality snaps all year and he played his best

538
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:21,399
Speaker 1: game in the Super Bowl. He broke up three deep passes,

539
00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:25,960
Speaker 1: and him talking after the game about the experience with

540
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:29,399
Speaker 1: him and his twin brother, it's just like, you know,

541
00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:32,199
Speaker 1: you can only imagine what that must feel like to

542
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:35,159
Speaker 1: be on the field with your twin brother that you

543
00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:37,960
Speaker 1: had never played with before, you know, in the pros,

544
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:40,439
Speaker 1: and to come up that big on that stage is

545
00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:43,080
Speaker 1: just it's possible. It's it could be the final game

546
00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:45,520
Speaker 1: for both of them. I mean, that's there's whispers about that.

547
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:48,840
Speaker 1: That was one example of a play where on television

548
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:51,520
Speaker 1: it looks great. But to be here and watch that

549
00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:54,199
Speaker 1: closing speed before breaking up that pass from whe we

550
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:57,000
Speaker 1: were sitting, that's that's the benefit of being here live,

551
00:27:57,040 --> 00:28:00,919
Speaker 1: because it was just it was an incredibly outlets for

552
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:03,240
Speaker 1: Rams fans and me and a lot of people rooting

553
00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:06,760
Speaker 1: against Patriots to see that ball just hanging in the air.

554
00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:10,359
Speaker 1: It was it reminded me of post shoulder surgery. Chad

555
00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:13,879
Speaker 1: Pennington's you know, it reminded me of play theory and

556
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:16,960
Speaker 1: Boomer and it just would not if he could have

557
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:19,080
Speaker 1: put the ball with some zip on it, maybe he

558
00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:21,880
Speaker 1: could have snuck it in there. And uh, Jason mccordy

559
00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:25,639
Speaker 1: was playing, and on the telecast, Tony Romo made the

560
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:27,800
Speaker 1: point that Patrick Chung, who had gone out with a

561
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:31,560
Speaker 1: broken arm earlier in the quarter. Uh, and I saw

562
00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:33,359
Speaker 1: him by the way in the locker room with the

563
00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:36,280
Speaker 1: sling off. I saw him running around the feet. They

564
00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:38,400
Speaker 1: took the sling off in the locker room after the game,

565
00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:41,280
Speaker 1: and they had he was walking and they were walking

566
00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:44,600
Speaker 1: so slow, and you can see the pain in his

567
00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:47,960
Speaker 1: face being led to the trainer's room for whatever comes

568
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:50,840
Speaker 1: next as he begins what will probably be a long rehab.

569
00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:53,959
Speaker 1: But Romo said that mccordy was in a different position

570
00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:57,480
Speaker 1: than Chung would have been um for whatever reason, and

571
00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:00,760
Speaker 1: that there's a play that will hunt the rams and

572
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:03,600
Speaker 1: then to top it off, Goff that takes a nine

573
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:06,920
Speaker 1: yard sack. He took some terrible sacks and this again

574
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:09,400
Speaker 1: GoF just played terribly in this game and and Greg

575
00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:11,600
Speaker 1: like bailed them out to get the tie. But that

576
00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:14,160
Speaker 1: was a missed opportunity ultimately, and that, yeah, that that

577
00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:16,400
Speaker 1: broken arm. It's like the Patriots have done this so

578
00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 1: many times. There's echoes of a lot of moments, but

579
00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:22,400
Speaker 1: that was so reminiscent of Rodney Harrison breaking his arm

580
00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:24,560
Speaker 1: on the last drive of the Panthers Super Bowl, but

581
00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:28,360
Speaker 1: being there in his uniform throughout the second half to

582
00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:30,720
Speaker 1: watch his teammates. The Patriots have been to the Super

583
00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:33,880
Speaker 1: Bowl so many times that literally everything has already happened. Yeah,

584
00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:35,840
Speaker 1: there's I was saying to Greg and our walk over

585
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:38,760
Speaker 1: to the concourse that Greg made the point that Bill

586
00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:43,120
Speaker 1: Belichick on the riser with his his grand with his grandchild,

587
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:47,080
Speaker 1: uh granddaughter, granddaughter. It was like, you know, he's never

588
00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:49,120
Speaker 1: been happier. I've never seen him so happy. He's like,

589
00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:51,479
Speaker 1: that's a trope we heard so many times. You know,

590
00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:54,160
Speaker 1: Tom Brady, you know he's happy. He's having fun this

591
00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:56,560
Speaker 1: year at the Super Bowl. Bill Belichick, you know he's

592
00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:59,080
Speaker 1: smiled a little bit this year. You know I've heard

593
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:02,680
Speaker 1: we've run out of things and angles with this team.

594
00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:05,240
Speaker 1: Well you just let it, let us go. They let

595
00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:07,520
Speaker 1: us start the gatorade, the gatorade, Well, what are we

596
00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:09,440
Speaker 1: supposed to talk about the gatorade bath and the and

597
00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:12,320
Speaker 1: first of all, the granddaughter was a new twist never

598
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:16,320
Speaker 1: had he was never carrying something. I mean, it really

599
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:20,480
Speaker 1: you know, humanized him. And then there was a moment

600
00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:22,000
Speaker 1: I was thinking of before that I don't know if

601
00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:23,840
Speaker 1: I was on camera, but I was looking at it

602
00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:25,960
Speaker 1: through the banacos with him and Gronk where they were

603
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:29,040
Speaker 1: sort of like giddy and jumping up and I've never

604
00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:31,360
Speaker 1: I've never seen Belichick. Well. There was also a moment

605
00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:34,520
Speaker 1: where the smile was not on his face when after

606
00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:37,920
Speaker 1: the three game, the celebrations were beginning, a cameraman tried

607
00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:40,040
Speaker 1: to get up into Belichick's trail and take a photo

608
00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:43,360
Speaker 1: and Belichick like took a step forward, grabbed him basically

609
00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:45,120
Speaker 1: and shoved him back, and they showed it up on

610
00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:47,640
Speaker 1: one of these huge screens here, and it was like,

611
00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:50,960
Speaker 1: I realized that point that Bill Belichick is not a

612
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:54,880
Speaker 1: weak person. He had he showed like superhuman, scary type

613
00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:58,720
Speaker 1: strength for a second guy. And you know what, I

614
00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:00,720
Speaker 1: would have loved if he would have been taken into

615
00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:03,040
Speaker 1: police custody tonight. That would have been a great story

616
00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:05,000
Speaker 1: for the morning. In a few more years. It's gonna

617
00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:08,640
Speaker 1: be Brady with his granddaughter after the game, like postgame interview,

618
00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:10,800
Speaker 1: and he's got a great granddaughter and then his great

619
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:13,320
Speaker 1: great great granddaughter. It's like Bill Belichick, he was a

620
00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:17,160
Speaker 1: hundred and seventy five today. I mean, what is going

621
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:20,000
Speaker 1: on here? But I mean you can't push a guy down.

622
00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:24,760
Speaker 1: That's assault, brother, it's fantast perfect and speaking in which

623
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:28,920
Speaker 1: Pat Patriot on the field doing jumping Jackson cart wheels

624
00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:32,240
Speaker 1: and running around in the confetti. What a phony that

625
00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:39,000
Speaker 1: guy could be soon? Are you certain professionalism here, Daniel? No?

626
00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:42,440
Speaker 1: You know it's like four days ago we're told he's

627
00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:44,840
Speaker 1: an I see you and now he's dancing around on

628
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:46,840
Speaker 1: the field. There's two of them. There's there's a few

629
00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:53,080
Speaker 1: of them anyway, So well, this is getting dark. Oh

630
00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:57,080
Speaker 1: my voice, last wrestle the show? Um so three three

631
00:31:57,760 --> 00:32:00,360
Speaker 1: and Greg, here we go. This is where it all changes.

632
00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:02,600
Speaker 1: The patch of the you know the Pats. Here we

633
00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:04,920
Speaker 1: are in the fourth quarter. It's three three, and we

634
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:07,880
Speaker 1: have never had a game with this lowest score entering

635
00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:10,120
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. But you just knew the way the

636
00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:12,120
Speaker 1: game was moving, and this is kind of goes back.

637
00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:15,680
Speaker 1: I guess why I'm not so annoyed. And obviously I'm annoyed,

638
00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:17,920
Speaker 1: but I'm not devastated right now. Is that you kind

639
00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:20,240
Speaker 1: of knew where the game was heading because golf was

640
00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:23,959
Speaker 1: playing so poorly and the Rams offense looks so lost.

641
00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:26,600
Speaker 1: But and you knew, you knew Brady had one big

642
00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:29,240
Speaker 1: drive in him, And I thought it was fitting that

643
00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:33,320
Speaker 1: the drive began with a big play by Gronk, and

644
00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:36,720
Speaker 1: the biggest play proceeding to the touchdown was also to

645
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:40,480
Speaker 1: Gronk that put him right at the doorstep at the

646
00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:44,040
Speaker 1: goal line. Let's hear that, Ricky shop goes Staffter Brady

647
00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:47,240
Speaker 1: dropping back, lobs up, throw fork, Gronkowski left side makes

648
00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:52,680
Speaker 1: the catch. Were two defenders to the two first time

649
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:56,600
Speaker 1: gonna go, They're gonna play him, He's gonna take. He's

650
00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:59,000
Speaker 1: gonna tell Tokyo he's gonna set you up to Ray.

651
00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:02,400
Speaker 1: Think you love up. Brady says it, and it's a

652
00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:07,280
Speaker 1: strike to the big boy, his favorite tight end, the

653
00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:12,880
Speaker 1: old world tight end. Want to catch during during that sequence,

654
00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:15,320
Speaker 1: you know, during the game, actually, there were a couple

655
00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:18,280
Speaker 1: of instances where I just thought, it's gotta be so

656
00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:21,240
Speaker 1: cool to be Tom Brady. No one else has these

657
00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:24,960
Speaker 1: little moments where like America the Beautiful is playing up

658
00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:27,360
Speaker 1: on the screen and it was great rendition and they

659
00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:29,960
Speaker 1: you know, his face pops up and the whole whole

660
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:33,480
Speaker 1: crowd just erupts with like they stay silent, silent and

661
00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:38,560
Speaker 1: respect the country and then like Brady chant like they

662
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:42,600
Speaker 1: were the Patriots slanted crowd is trying to like conjure

663
00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:45,600
Speaker 1: up offense because at this point it's getting a little

664
00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:48,240
Speaker 1: uncomfortable for everyody watching. They did it to start that drive.

665
00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:50,360
Speaker 1: They chanted Brady before even the first thing. When it

666
00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:52,600
Speaker 1: came onto the field, they started chanting his name, and

667
00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:54,480
Speaker 1: then they do it did it again during the drive

668
00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:55,880
Speaker 1: and it was like, what a cool moment to be

669
00:33:55,960 --> 00:34:00,920
Speaker 1: that guy and that that play. It was one of

670
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:04,000
Speaker 1: Gronk's all time plays. It reminded me of the drive

671
00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:06,880
Speaker 1: he had against the Broncos that ultimately, you know, fell

672
00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:10,560
Speaker 1: short in the two thousand fifteen AFC Championship. But you've

673
00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:12,520
Speaker 1: mentioned this week kind of what does this game mean

674
00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:14,920
Speaker 1: for the Patriots. They you know, there's not as much

675
00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:16,960
Speaker 1: pressure because they you know, they they've been here, They've

676
00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:20,359
Speaker 1: like this game means so much for Gronk. I think

677
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:22,719
Speaker 1: it means a lot for the Patriots period, like any

678
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:26,080
Speaker 1: championship does. But to have that moment, who I think

679
00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:29,239
Speaker 1: is the greatest tight end of all time, doesn't matter

680
00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:32,279
Speaker 1: if he retires right now, to make one of those

681
00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:35,320
Speaker 1: catches where ultimately, yeah, they saw something before the step,

682
00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:37,359
Speaker 1: but there were three guys in coverage by the end

683
00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:40,840
Speaker 1: of that play. For him to be as physical and

684
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:43,280
Speaker 1: how he plays, but also to be able to adjust

685
00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:47,480
Speaker 1: to ball passes in the air so dexterous lee like

686
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:50,640
Speaker 1: in his hands are as good as anyone in the league,

687
00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:53,840
Speaker 1: and to go after that ball when there's three defensive

688
00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:55,840
Speaker 1: backs around him. No one else is doing that, and

689
00:34:55,880 --> 00:34:58,000
Speaker 1: he's done that in so many big spots, and it

690
00:34:58,120 --> 00:35:02,440
Speaker 1: put the exclamation point on the greatest career I think

691
00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:05,440
Speaker 1: any tight ends have in terms of dominance. And it

692
00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:07,920
Speaker 1: also gives him three titles, and so I think that's

693
00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:09,800
Speaker 1: kind of important because to me, there's two errors of

694
00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:12,520
Speaker 1: the Patriots. There's the first one, which is defense, and

695
00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:15,480
Speaker 1: then the second era, which is Gronk, and I think

696
00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:17,239
Speaker 1: he's the key part of the second one other than

697
00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:19,920
Speaker 1: bring and to go back to the coaching on New England.

698
00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:22,359
Speaker 1: Gronk talked after the game about the fact that they

699
00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:25,600
Speaker 1: dialed up that play not too much. A few plays

700
00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:28,600
Speaker 1: earlier they tried it and Brady just didn't see him.

701
00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:31,160
Speaker 1: And McDaniels knew that and said, this time around, take

702
00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:32,440
Speaker 1: a look for him and you're gonna get him. And

703
00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:35,280
Speaker 1: it was a great play. It was five plays, sixty yards.

704
00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:38,680
Speaker 1: Gronk had the two longest gainers or was it Edelman

705
00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:42,080
Speaker 1: first down catching there? So of course Edelman was involved

706
00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:44,840
Speaker 1: with it. And uh, it was a dry that summed

707
00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:47,560
Speaker 1: up the whole Patriots playoffs because the man who ends

708
00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:49,840
Speaker 1: it is the guy that set the postseason record with

709
00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:53,720
Speaker 1: his sixth score of the playoffs. From the eye, Michelle,

710
00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:56,720
Speaker 1: the tailback behind Dublin Brady Utter Shutter gives the Michelle

711
00:35:56,760 --> 00:36:06,279
Speaker 1: runs look touched up trash Michelle for six do not love.

712
00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:10,560
Speaker 1: I told you it could be three strange quarters if

713
00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:14,440
Speaker 1: we haven't seen this quarterback playing along. But it's fourth quarter.

714
00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:17,040
Speaker 1: It's funny time for the greatest God ever sewed it up.

715
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:20,600
Speaker 1: You know. Can I say one thing when we're here?

716
00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:23,120
Speaker 1: And I had a very open mind to this, and

717
00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:26,319
Speaker 1: I was I can't help sometimes then, but to root

718
00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:28,440
Speaker 1: for Tom Brady when you're here in the moment. I

719
00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:31,239
Speaker 1: don't know what it is, but you locked them up

720
00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:35,759
Speaker 1: to there is that, But thank you, west' I was

721
00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:38,560
Speaker 1: not gonna. I was not gonna. We'll bring it up eventually,

722
00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:42,400
Speaker 1: I'm sure. Well, there are a lot of sad Rams fans,

723
00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:44,319
Speaker 1: one of them that lives with you, West, so that's

724
00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:46,920
Speaker 1: not gonna be easy. But the minute I hear Zolok's voice,

725
00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:49,680
Speaker 1: I start to feel irritated. That kind of brings it

726
00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:52,759
Speaker 1: back to where it needs to be, because I know

727
00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:56,239
Speaker 1: what you're saying to Like, even I feel kind of

728
00:36:56,320 --> 00:37:00,560
Speaker 1: lucky too to be at these games, because Brady fifty

729
00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:02,120
Speaker 1: years from now is going to be known as like

730
00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:06,080
Speaker 1: a Johnny Unitis level all time great and you were

731
00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:08,719
Speaker 1: there for all of it, you know, at least the

732
00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:12,239
Speaker 1: second part the Gronk era, as Greg puts it. So

733
00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:16,359
Speaker 1: I get that, and I think, you know, it's it's

734
00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:20,279
Speaker 1: incredible to me that he is never gonna have the

735
00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:22,279
Speaker 1: game in the Super Bowl and he's been and what

736
00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:25,160
Speaker 1: how many of them are nine He's never just gonna

737
00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:27,520
Speaker 1: have one where he just stinks and he has a

738
00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:30,399
Speaker 1: bad game and it's just well, it wasn't his year,

739
00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:32,480
Speaker 1: even in this game, which is a weird game where

740
00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:34,680
Speaker 1: he can never get things going. He was going to

741
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:37,719
Speaker 1: have the drive in him, and like I said, it

742
00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:40,759
Speaker 1: felt inevitable, and he delivered it. And that's when I

743
00:37:40,840 --> 00:37:43,439
Speaker 1: knew it was ten three, seven minutes to play. Then

744
00:37:43,480 --> 00:37:45,640
Speaker 1: the pressure goes back to the kid on the other side,

745
00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:48,680
Speaker 1: and you're thinking yourself, does he have something big in him?

746
00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:50,319
Speaker 1: And it didn't feel like it was in the car.

747
00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:52,920
Speaker 1: It didn't. It didn't. I agree with you. I I

748
00:37:53,440 --> 00:37:55,560
Speaker 1: didn't think the game was over, but it was uncanny

749
00:37:55,560 --> 00:37:57,799
Speaker 1: like when he needed that, he did it at the

750
00:37:57,840 --> 00:38:00,439
Speaker 1: moment they tied the game. Much like in the first

751
00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:03,120
Speaker 1: Super Bowl against the Rams. He he didn't do much

752
00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:04,839
Speaker 1: that game, but he did it in the moment that

753
00:38:04,920 --> 00:38:07,399
Speaker 1: they tied the game. I mean, he's six and three

754
00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:10,160
Speaker 1: or the team is six and three in Super Bowls

755
00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:13,160
Speaker 1: during the Brady era, but in two of them he

756
00:38:13,239 --> 00:38:15,280
Speaker 1: had game winning drives and then and then they lost,

757
00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:17,920
Speaker 1: the defense lost the game. I mean, it's unreal how

758
00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:20,799
Speaker 1: often he delivered in those spots. So the Rams take

759
00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:24,720
Speaker 1: over after a touchback. Uh, like I said, seven minutes

760
00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:27,720
Speaker 1: played down ten three, and they start moving the ball,

761
00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:30,480
Speaker 1: and uh enough, I'm sure Greg where your pea scale

762
00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:32,680
Speaker 1: then is it's got to be eight and a half

763
00:38:32,719 --> 00:38:34,839
Speaker 1: When they cross over midfield, it felt like they were

764
00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:37,239
Speaker 1: heating up meatal mean just a little. It was back

765
00:38:37,239 --> 00:38:39,160
Speaker 1: to like six at that point. It was eight or

766
00:38:39,239 --> 00:38:41,120
Speaker 1: nine for most of the game. But that touchdown was

767
00:38:41,160 --> 00:38:43,640
Speaker 1: such a relief. It was like, you know, it was

768
00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:48,040
Speaker 1: like next to Greg the entire game. Yes, you said

769
00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:50,359
Speaker 1: it was the most nervous you've ever seen him? Where

770
00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:53,279
Speaker 1: was he after that score? All of these claims by

771
00:38:53,320 --> 00:38:54,960
Speaker 1: Greg about the peace scale, you have to put like

772
00:38:54,960 --> 00:38:57,000
Speaker 1: a Greg filter on it because he claims never to

773
00:38:57,080 --> 00:39:00,920
Speaker 1: be like nervous about it. Nothing matters when he he

774
00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:03,160
Speaker 1: was like at a six at one point, No, he was.

775
00:39:03,239 --> 00:39:05,520
Speaker 1: He never dropped a lot of nine all through the game.

776
00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:09,200
Speaker 1: He's very quiet. I did catch I was right next

777
00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:11,840
Speaker 1: to it. He was chattering. He had running comment with

778
00:39:11,920 --> 00:39:13,920
Speaker 1: himself going on the whole game. Because that's how nervous

779
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:15,719
Speaker 1: talking to you. I was trying to talk to you, hey,

780
00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:21,919
Speaker 1: independent observer mj Acosta, great reporter for NFL Network, sitting

781
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:25,279
Speaker 1: between Mark and I said, hey, you're you're not because

782
00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:27,319
Speaker 1: I was joking to her about how a pats Van

783
00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:29,360
Speaker 1: and I was nervous. She's like, you're not as nervous

784
00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:32,479
Speaker 1: as Mark. You don't seem as nervous as Mark. So hey, yeah,

785
00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:34,080
Speaker 1: she thought you were. She thought you were a big

786
00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:38,560
Speaker 1: Pats fan. And we're feeling the field. They eat always

787
00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:41,440
Speaker 1: look a litvous. It must have been that it was

788
00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:42,920
Speaker 1: a lock. I think that's when I was listening to

789
00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:47,040
Speaker 1: the Spanish broadcast on my let's pause one more time

Speaker 1: this control center by Cabo one remote that does it all.

806
00:40:53,320 --> 00:40:56,759
Speaker 1: So Yes, despite the Rams offense and and the boy

807
00:40:56,800 --> 00:41:00,279
Speaker 1: genius Sean McVeigh struggling so much, they started moving the ball.

808
00:41:00,680 --> 00:41:05,280
Speaker 1: Brandon Cooks for nineteen yards uh, and then they get Goff,

809
00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:08,840
Speaker 1: the Josh Reynolds for eleven. Then he hits Robert Woods

810
00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:12,600
Speaker 1: for seventeen, and they're cooking and then it falls apart

811
00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:14,560
Speaker 1: first and ten. At the twenty seven. I didn't realize

812
00:41:14,600 --> 00:41:17,520
Speaker 1: they got that far down. Jared Goff drops back. He's

813
00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:20,719
Speaker 1: got Brandon Cook's Stephan Gilmore in coverage. Cooks has a

814
00:41:20,760 --> 00:41:24,680
Speaker 1: step and can't hold onto the ball, and you could

815
00:41:24,719 --> 00:41:27,120
Speaker 1: and Cook's had a really nice game statistically. There was

816
00:41:27,160 --> 00:41:29,080
Speaker 1: some garbage yardage at the end, but he made some

817
00:41:29,080 --> 00:41:31,400
Speaker 1: plays in that game. But that is a catch in

818
00:41:31,440 --> 00:41:33,600
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl that you're remembered by if you could

819
00:41:33,600 --> 00:41:36,440
Speaker 1: pull it in. Me and my dad were watching some

820
00:41:36,520 --> 00:41:39,320
Speaker 1: games on YouTube old Super Bowls on YouTube this weekend.

821
00:41:39,560 --> 00:41:42,200
Speaker 1: One of the games we checked out was the Steelers

822
00:41:42,239 --> 00:41:45,799
Speaker 1: Cardinals game where Santonio Holmes and Larry Fitzgerald put on

823
00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:48,359
Speaker 1: one of the more epic one on one showdowns when

824
00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:50,080
Speaker 1: they were never on the field together that you'll ever

825
00:41:50,120 --> 00:41:54,040
Speaker 1: see in this game. That's how you're remembered forever when

826
00:41:54,040 --> 00:41:56,880
Speaker 1: you make catches. Cooks couldn't do it. And then on

827
00:41:57,000 --> 00:42:01,240
Speaker 1: the very next play, Jared Goff, who felt pressure all game,

828
00:42:01,719 --> 00:42:04,719
Speaker 1: got pressure one more time at a blitz and made

829
00:42:04,719 --> 00:42:07,640
Speaker 1: the worst throw of his life free to the left.

830
00:42:07,760 --> 00:42:10,799
Speaker 1: Text with that Parmont throws the right, Gilmore's there ain't

831
00:42:10,960 --> 00:42:14,480
Speaker 1: sept it at the car. Harmon first to pick and

832
00:42:14,520 --> 00:42:19,719
Speaker 1: Gilmore comes up with it his second of the postseasons.

833
00:42:19,800 --> 00:42:24,000
Speaker 1: What a call by Brian Flora's pressure on number sixteen.

834
00:42:25,040 --> 00:42:26,640
Speaker 1: You know the kid was going to crack and he

835
00:42:26,719 --> 00:42:29,840
Speaker 1: did there and want to play by Gilmore, Let's go.

836
00:42:30,520 --> 00:42:32,960
Speaker 1: It was another one of these plays where when from

837
00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:36,200
Speaker 1: where we were sitting, it was an awful throw and

838
00:42:36,239 --> 00:42:38,800
Speaker 1: you saw the result before it even left his hands.

839
00:42:39,200 --> 00:42:42,360
Speaker 1: I just think he the Patriots put so much pressure

840
00:42:42,400 --> 00:42:44,680
Speaker 1: on him from wire to wire. There was never a

841
00:42:44,719 --> 00:42:46,680
Speaker 1: moment where Goff felt like he was in the flow

842
00:42:46,719 --> 00:42:49,479
Speaker 1: of the game or had any confidence at all, And

843
00:42:49,680 --> 00:42:52,279
Speaker 1: I think that does tie back to an inability to

844
00:42:52,400 --> 00:42:55,000
Speaker 1: adjust between coach and quarterback and the rest of the

845
00:42:55,000 --> 00:42:58,560
Speaker 1: offense reminded me a lot of of the first half

846
00:42:58,760 --> 00:43:01,120
Speaker 1: of their game against the Saint You know, by the

847
00:43:01,200 --> 00:43:02,759
Speaker 1: end of the game, I was surprised how many people

848
00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:06,080
Speaker 1: thought golf outplayed Breeze because for an entire half he

849
00:43:06,120 --> 00:43:08,520
Speaker 1: looked lost in that game. And it happened for the

850
00:43:08,760 --> 00:43:12,120
Speaker 1: like four quarters in this game. You can't uh to me,

851
00:43:12,160 --> 00:43:14,000
Speaker 1: that would leave a bad aftertaste in my mouth as

852
00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:17,680
Speaker 1: a Rams fan. Jared golf Like did not play well

853
00:43:18,120 --> 00:43:22,239
Speaker 1: from November on. Well, he didn't adjust, He didn't he

854
00:43:22,360 --> 00:43:25,839
Speaker 1: never had a feel of what was gonna happen. And

855
00:43:25,840 --> 00:43:28,560
Speaker 1: in the whole game, I was waiting for a defensive

856
00:43:28,600 --> 00:43:30,839
Speaker 1: turn I was waiting for a turnover, a touchdown because

857
00:43:30,840 --> 00:43:32,880
Speaker 1: you felt like it was gonna come, like, hey, if

858
00:43:32,880 --> 00:43:34,960
Speaker 1: Brady is not gonna do it, the the defense is

859
00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:37,200
Speaker 1: gonna make the big play. Brady ended up getting in

860
00:43:37,239 --> 00:43:39,000
Speaker 1: the end zone first, but they finally did it here.

861
00:43:39,120 --> 00:43:42,040
Speaker 1: I mean, he dropped back thirty eight times. I guess

862
00:43:42,080 --> 00:43:44,880
Speaker 1: more if you include the sack fourteen hurries, five QB hits,

863
00:43:45,360 --> 00:43:48,760
Speaker 1: four sacks. And the thing I loved is the Patriots

864
00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:51,240
Speaker 1: stayed aggressive the whole time. They didn't try to change

865
00:43:51,280 --> 00:43:54,319
Speaker 1: it up, you know, they they kept coming after him,

866
00:43:54,360 --> 00:43:56,600
Speaker 1: even in that drive where they were starting to make

867
00:43:56,680 --> 00:43:59,600
Speaker 1: some hay that they kept putting pressure on him, expecting

868
00:43:59,680 --> 00:44:02,120
Speaker 1: him to make a mistake. And Stephan Gilmore, who had

869
00:44:02,120 --> 00:44:04,840
Speaker 1: an all Pro season fitting Lee, is the guy that

870
00:44:04,960 --> 00:44:08,000
Speaker 1: did it. And yes, Danny, I enjoyed that Brandon Cooks

871
00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:09,759
Speaker 1: came up a little small in this game. I don't

872
00:44:09,760 --> 00:44:11,480
Speaker 1: care about this. You gotta let that go, dude. He

873
00:44:11,520 --> 00:44:14,040
Speaker 1: seems like a nice guy and he's been a really

874
00:44:14,040 --> 00:44:16,400
Speaker 1: productive pro and been on our show. Not there was

875
00:44:16,440 --> 00:44:19,279
Speaker 1: some real hitting early in that game, and he he

876
00:44:19,360 --> 00:44:22,560
Speaker 1: was not getting the yak. He was kinda he was

877
00:44:22,600 --> 00:44:25,160
Speaker 1: staying away from those hits. A See, I don't care

878
00:44:25,160 --> 00:44:26,719
Speaker 1: if they won the Super Bowl. He should still be

879
00:44:26,719 --> 00:44:28,480
Speaker 1: on this team. I don't think it was a great

880
00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:31,200
Speaker 1: move to trade him, and you you, why don't you

881
00:44:31,200 --> 00:44:35,200
Speaker 1: just take I don't understand why. I mean, Brandon Cooks

882
00:44:35,239 --> 00:44:37,560
Speaker 1: has to be taking heat from me here. You have

883
00:44:37,600 --> 00:44:39,839
Speaker 1: everything else you could ever want in this world's fair.

884
00:44:40,080 --> 00:44:43,600
Speaker 1: It's fair. You want to take him down with you? Um?

885
00:44:43,960 --> 00:44:45,920
Speaker 1: All right? So that was the killer because now it's

886
00:44:45,960 --> 00:44:50,319
Speaker 1: four minutes to go, and the Rams defense west which two.

887
00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:53,319
Speaker 1: They weren't on the field as much in the second half,

888
00:44:53,360 --> 00:44:55,960
Speaker 1: so it didn't become like a Super Bowl fifty one

889
00:44:56,000 --> 00:44:59,480
Speaker 1: Falcon situation where that he was just gassed. But they

890
00:44:59,560 --> 00:45:03,000
Speaker 1: let down because the Pats tried to run out the clock.

891
00:45:03,280 --> 00:45:05,600
Speaker 1: They were looking to get maybe ten yards or eleven

892
00:45:05,640 --> 00:45:08,520
Speaker 1: yards and three plays, and they started gashing them with

893
00:45:08,640 --> 00:45:12,359
Speaker 1: runs and that was now the Rams are on the ropes.

894
00:45:12,640 --> 00:45:14,319
Speaker 1: I do think the Rams defense is going to be

895
00:45:14,360 --> 00:45:16,279
Speaker 1: overlooked for how well they played in this game, with

896
00:45:16,960 --> 00:45:19,280
Speaker 1: the exception of not being able to cover cover Julian

897
00:45:19,400 --> 00:45:22,680
Speaker 1: Edelman and not being able to stop the Patriots clock

898
00:45:22,920 --> 00:45:25,680
Speaker 1: piling drive late the runs that they had, it was

899
00:45:25,719 --> 00:45:27,759
Speaker 1: a It was an incredible game by their defense. Can

900
00:45:27,760 --> 00:45:30,120
Speaker 1: we can we say that Aaron Donald came up a

901
00:45:30,160 --> 00:45:32,800
Speaker 1: little small in this game. He had one solo tackle,

902
00:45:33,239 --> 00:45:35,920
Speaker 1: one QB hit. We talked about it all week that

903
00:45:36,480 --> 00:45:39,319
Speaker 1: Aaron Donald needed to be for a wrecking ball in

904
00:45:39,320 --> 00:45:41,839
Speaker 1: this game. Todd Gurley had to be Todd Gurley. Neither

905
00:45:41,880 --> 00:45:45,920
Speaker 1: of those things happen. It was a quiet game by Donald,

906
00:45:46,320 --> 00:45:48,760
Speaker 1: but he could have been quiet. They needed it. Didn't

907
00:45:48,800 --> 00:45:53,040
Speaker 1: come through. Well, I don't felt like he was getting pressured. Yeah,

908
00:45:53,200 --> 00:45:54,759
Speaker 1: he he made a couple of plays, But I guess

909
00:45:54,800 --> 00:45:58,000
Speaker 1: I don't agree with that because ultimately they the Patriots

910
00:45:58,040 --> 00:46:02,239
Speaker 1: had eleven drives and they scored thirteen points. So I

911
00:46:02,239 --> 00:46:05,520
Speaker 1: don't care. Like, however, you added that all up, that

912
00:46:05,600 --> 00:46:09,360
Speaker 1: was maybe the best defensive performance by the Rams all season,

913
00:46:09,920 --> 00:46:14,080
Speaker 1: and one of the best defensive performances against the Patriots

914
00:46:14,200 --> 00:46:16,640
Speaker 1: all season, and certainly in a Super Bowl. So it's

915
00:46:16,680 --> 00:46:19,480
Speaker 1: like it wasn't Donald, but what you know, what more

916
00:46:19,520 --> 00:46:21,799
Speaker 1: could he even ask this? This needed to be an

917
00:46:21,800 --> 00:46:24,960
Speaker 1: offensive team, and the offense completely blew it. And I

918
00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:28,280
Speaker 1: think they got a championship level defense as a group

919
00:46:28,320 --> 00:46:30,960
Speaker 1: from Wade Phillips. If you knew, hey, we are going

920
00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:34,919
Speaker 1: to keep Tom brading the Patriots to thirteen points. All

921
00:46:34,960 --> 00:46:38,360
Speaker 1: your job is, Jared Golf and friends, is to score

922
00:46:38,680 --> 00:46:41,759
Speaker 1: fourteen points. You would think you would be the Rams fans,

923
00:46:41,760 --> 00:46:43,759
Speaker 1: even if there's only fifty of them here, you would

924
00:46:43,840 --> 00:46:47,080
Speaker 1: roll in dancing. You got it. To Dan's point, though,

925
00:46:47,200 --> 00:46:49,520
Speaker 1: they started the game kind of running right at Donald

926
00:46:49,880 --> 00:46:51,879
Speaker 1: and that's not what they did in this last drive.

927
00:46:51,920 --> 00:46:54,040
Speaker 1: But if you're gonna fault the Rams defense for anything.

928
00:46:54,680 --> 00:46:57,359
Speaker 1: They knew the Patriots were gonna run on second down

929
00:46:57,360 --> 00:47:00,400
Speaker 1: there it's on the five yard line. I'm I'm uttering,

930
00:47:00,880 --> 00:47:03,239
Speaker 1: stay aggressive, keep throwing the ball, you know, don't just

931
00:47:03,320 --> 00:47:06,040
Speaker 1: like run into a line and punch it over and

932
00:47:06,040 --> 00:47:07,560
Speaker 1: then when you claim to be at a six on

933
00:47:07,640 --> 00:47:10,319
Speaker 1: your right, you know. And I'm an idiot because they

934
00:47:10,400 --> 00:47:12,719
Speaker 1: did keep running, just like they have been really at

935
00:47:12,719 --> 00:47:14,560
Speaker 1: the end of the season. They were able to run

936
00:47:14,920 --> 00:47:18,400
Speaker 1: on so many teams, the Chiefs, Chargers, Rams, you know,

937
00:47:18,480 --> 00:47:21,120
Speaker 1: Bill's Jets. When the other team knew it was coming.

938
00:47:21,400 --> 00:47:24,360
Speaker 1: It was over Trent Brown, it was over Marcus Cannon,

939
00:47:24,480 --> 00:47:26,440
Speaker 1: and like that was kind of theme. Well, I was

940
00:47:26,480 --> 00:47:28,440
Speaker 1: sitting when so sitting near Greg, Like there was a

941
00:47:28,480 --> 00:47:32,360
Speaker 1: moment when Sony Michelle blasted for the the initial first

942
00:47:32,400 --> 00:47:35,440
Speaker 1: down on that game ceiling. I just I just was

943
00:47:35,480 --> 00:47:40,080
Speaker 1: like a game over, an erotic mode. Now. I looked

944
00:47:40,120 --> 00:47:42,560
Speaker 1: over and I just saw Mark going like, you know,

945
00:47:42,719 --> 00:47:44,719
Speaker 1: just like doing the slash sign, and I was just like,

946
00:47:44,960 --> 00:47:46,960
Speaker 1: you know what, buddy, I agree with you. Way to

947
00:47:46,960 --> 00:47:51,600
Speaker 1: be ones. But it was pat well, I mean four

948
00:47:51,719 --> 00:47:55,040
Speaker 1: and one slightly obnoxious with the Patriots love Now fourth

949
00:47:55,040 --> 00:47:59,160
Speaker 1: and one inches literally maybe an inch and a half

950
00:48:00,120 --> 00:48:02,479
Speaker 1: from the twenty four yard line with a minute twelve ago,

951
00:48:02,600 --> 00:48:06,319
Speaker 1: still just a seven point game, one score game, and

952
00:48:06,440 --> 00:48:09,960
Speaker 1: Belichick has a decision to make. Is he gonna sneak

953
00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:12,480
Speaker 1: it against Aarren Donald and company or a hand the

954
00:48:12,480 --> 00:48:15,480
Speaker 1: ball off or call pass play or does he bring

955
00:48:15,480 --> 00:48:18,759
Speaker 1: out the kicker. Stephen Gastowski used, you know, had some

956
00:48:18,800 --> 00:48:20,520
Speaker 1: issues in the Super Bowl the last couple of years.

957
00:48:20,800 --> 00:48:23,200
Speaker 1: They decided to go with the kick. If he makes it,

958
00:48:24,160 --> 00:48:26,920
Speaker 1: the game's over. If he misses it, the Rams have

959
00:48:26,960 --> 00:48:30,239
Speaker 1: a shot. And this is what happened. Turn short card,

960
00:48:30,280 --> 00:48:32,960
Speaker 1: don't in atten three Patriots left as the hand receives

961
00:48:33,000 --> 00:48:35,240
Speaker 1: the step swinging the right leg, drivel of the uplights

962
00:48:35,520 --> 00:48:41,879
Speaker 1: and the kick is good too. Possession game. No chip shot, sir,

963
00:48:42,560 --> 00:48:46,680
Speaker 1: that is no chip shot. Forty one is close to

964
00:48:46,760 --> 00:48:49,120
Speaker 1: the chip shot, but whatever, he's stuck it inside the

965
00:48:49,200 --> 00:48:52,840
Speaker 1: left upright. That wast three and that was the final

966
00:48:53,480 --> 00:48:56,680
Speaker 1: margin in this game. The Patriots title number six. You

967
00:48:56,680 --> 00:48:58,440
Speaker 1: can't even give a kick or some love. I mean,

968
00:48:58,480 --> 00:49:00,719
Speaker 1: that's your guy. That's a big moment. This is a

969
00:49:00,800 --> 00:49:04,440
Speaker 1: kicker who he's now been in as many Super Bowls

970
00:49:04,600 --> 00:49:10,640
Speaker 1: as anyone in Super Bowl history except for Tom Brady. No,

971
00:49:11,000 --> 00:49:14,080
Speaker 1: but like it, Iam Venitary, you don't remember, you know,

972
00:49:14,239 --> 00:49:17,400
Speaker 1: ultimately the ones they missed you Vinitary miss him in

973
00:49:17,440 --> 00:49:22,319
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl too, but he deserves credit for getting you,

974
00:49:22,440 --> 00:49:25,560
Speaker 1: sir or no, Adam, that's fair, that's fair. And it was,

975
00:49:25,600 --> 00:49:30,239
Speaker 1: by the way, very awkward. They had an interview in

976
00:49:31,360 --> 00:49:34,560
Speaker 1: with Adam Vinitary in the middle of the third quarter,

977
00:49:34,600 --> 00:49:38,279
Speaker 1: I believe, or even fourth quarter, like Scott Hansen, you know,

978
00:49:38,600 --> 00:49:40,680
Speaker 1: while Tom Brady is trying to like call plays in

979
00:49:40,680 --> 00:49:43,760
Speaker 1: the huddle during a commercial break, Scott Hanson is asking

980
00:49:43,760 --> 00:49:46,359
Speaker 1: Adam Vinitary about like how great is it that you

981
00:49:46,560 --> 00:49:49,200
Speaker 1: started this dynasty? And I'm thinking, like, is anyone on

982
00:49:49,239 --> 00:49:52,400
Speaker 1: the Patriots silent? And Tom Brady going like fi nuts

983
00:49:52,440 --> 00:49:55,040
Speaker 1: that this is happening like in the middle of the

984
00:49:55,120 --> 00:49:57,480
Speaker 1: fourth quarter of a Super Bowl. This also came minutes

985
00:49:57,520 --> 00:50:01,200
Speaker 1: after they had Trey Burton on the field. The Patriots

986
00:50:01,200 --> 00:50:03,640
Speaker 1: fans through the Philly Special as if that's going to

987
00:50:03,680 --> 00:50:05,919
Speaker 1: be a crowd pleasing moment. Here. I kept on waiting

988
00:50:05,960 --> 00:50:08,640
Speaker 1: because the why there's one issue with this beautiful stadium

989
00:50:08,840 --> 00:50:11,960
Speaker 1: and again Jets and Giants start over take the l

990
00:50:12,320 --> 00:50:13,879
Speaker 1: and get to work. But the one problem I did

991
00:50:13,880 --> 00:50:17,000
Speaker 1: have as the WiFi not great, and I was wondering

992
00:50:17,000 --> 00:50:20,040
Speaker 1: if the Scott Hanson WiFi would quit out at some

993
00:50:20,120 --> 00:50:23,400
Speaker 1: point and he'd stutter over a word or a smile,

994
00:50:23,440 --> 00:50:26,520
Speaker 1: would like drift away for a moment, But no, it was.

995
00:50:26,680 --> 00:50:29,879
Speaker 1: It was a typical classic in the house Super Bowl

996
00:50:29,880 --> 00:50:34,440
Speaker 1: performance from Hanson, unshakable, almost in human. Great job, Scott.

997
00:50:36,360 --> 00:50:40,319
Speaker 1: Dan's voice is so close to not performing and it's like, I,

998
00:50:40,320 --> 00:50:42,279
Speaker 1: I really am starting to worry, but you'll not see

999
00:50:42,320 --> 00:50:45,040
Speaker 1: me for the next ward of five days or weeks.

1000
00:50:45,760 --> 00:50:48,880
Speaker 1: It's like you're like the new like Pakstani felts, like

1001
00:50:48,880 --> 00:50:51,359
Speaker 1: if the Patriots win the Super Bowl, you don't see

1002
00:50:51,440 --> 00:50:57,200
Speaker 1: Dan for six weeks. Um final thoughts on the game, Greg,

1003
00:50:57,800 --> 00:51:00,760
Speaker 1: Oh No, actually, Erica, Greg, we've heard enough from me, Erica.

1004
00:51:00,840 --> 00:51:03,479
Speaker 1: We'd love to hear from you this time last year.

1005
00:51:04,239 --> 00:51:05,719
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say it was something I was happy to

1006
00:51:05,719 --> 00:51:07,840
Speaker 1: see because I don't like to see you upset, But

1007
00:51:07,920 --> 00:51:12,839
Speaker 1: you were laying on the concourse floor sobbing over the

1008
00:51:12,840 --> 00:51:19,120
Speaker 1: Eagles victory. Uh. This whole hum vaguely boring, least entertaining

1009
00:51:19,120 --> 00:51:22,920
Speaker 1: super Bowl many years how are you feeling after? I

1010
00:51:22,960 --> 00:51:24,880
Speaker 1: feel like a million bucks. I don't really have a

1011
00:51:24,960 --> 00:51:28,759
Speaker 1: voice left. Um. During the national anthem, they zoomed in

1012
00:51:28,840 --> 00:51:30,600
Speaker 1: on Golf and he had his hand on his heart

1013
00:51:30,920 --> 00:51:33,040
Speaker 1: and he was tapping his fingers on his heart. He

1014
00:51:33,120 --> 00:51:36,760
Speaker 1: looked there. I was sitting up there. I was sitting

1015
00:51:36,840 --> 00:51:38,960
Speaker 1: up there looking at and I go look at his handshake,

1016
00:51:39,040 --> 00:51:42,480
Speaker 1: look at his handshake, and were I was so excited.

1017
00:51:42,480 --> 00:51:44,600
Speaker 1: And then I'm reading on the board that we lost

1018
00:51:44,640 --> 00:51:47,000
Speaker 1: the coin toss, the last the five times that we've

1019
00:51:47,000 --> 00:51:49,439
Speaker 1: won the Super Bowl and the two that we won

1020
00:51:49,480 --> 00:51:51,680
Speaker 1: we lost. And then when we lost the coin to

1021
00:51:51,840 --> 00:51:56,680
Speaker 1: are we like got the kickoff? I literally was at

1022
00:51:56,680 --> 00:52:00,040
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. We've freaking one. We're in where it

1023
00:52:00,080 --> 00:52:02,200
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. We were going to lose again. And it

1024
00:52:02,280 --> 00:52:05,360
Speaker 1: was when I was watching golf sweating it out and

1025
00:52:05,400 --> 00:52:09,520
Speaker 1: it felt great. What was the to take me through

1026
00:52:09,560 --> 00:52:12,400
Speaker 1: the end of the game. What happened after the end

1027
00:52:12,400 --> 00:52:14,799
Speaker 1: of the game, towards the end and then the end

1028
00:52:15,080 --> 00:52:17,520
Speaker 1: when he when he made when he made that field

1029
00:52:17,520 --> 00:52:19,680
Speaker 1: goal and it was a two, It was a too

1030
00:52:20,080 --> 00:52:25,640
Speaker 1: sort of you know conversion. Um too. Yeah, it's been along,

1031
00:52:25,880 --> 00:52:29,560
Speaker 1: it's been it's been a terrible and when he made that,

1032
00:52:29,640 --> 00:52:31,640
Speaker 1: and I knew it was a two score, you know,

1033
00:52:31,800 --> 00:52:37,440
Speaker 1: possession deal, two game, tamp whatever, and it was whatever

1034
00:52:37,480 --> 00:52:39,560
Speaker 1: it was. I knew that they were going to come

1035
00:52:39,640 --> 00:52:42,160
Speaker 1: up short, and I knew it when he hit that.

1036
00:52:42,480 --> 00:52:45,479
Speaker 1: We were celebrating weird that I have, like, oh my god,

1037
00:52:45,520 --> 00:52:49,840
Speaker 1: I was screaming. I knew, I knew. Did you cry?

1038
00:52:50,000 --> 00:52:52,200
Speaker 1: Did you cry? I did cry? How do you celebrate

1039
00:52:52,239 --> 00:52:57,760
Speaker 1: tonight when this is over? Well, I'm here, yes, podcast.

1040
00:52:58,760 --> 00:53:03,880
Speaker 1: Did you embarrass the NFL in any way with your interactions? Nope,

1041
00:53:03,960 --> 00:53:06,440
Speaker 1: I didn't. I wore my sweatshirt and I'm wearing an

1042
00:53:06,520 --> 00:53:08,960
Speaker 1: NFL T shirt, but under it, I have a Tom

1043
00:53:09,000 --> 00:53:11,399
Speaker 1: Brady T shirt on. But I didn't take it off.

1044
00:53:11,440 --> 00:53:15,200
Speaker 1: I didn't take my shirt off. Well, that's good. Their

1045
00:53:15,200 --> 00:53:17,799
Speaker 1: shirt off, Adam Levine, I did. I saw that. You know,

1046
00:53:17,840 --> 00:53:22,480
Speaker 1: we don't. We'd talked about performance enhancing drugs. Yeah, and uh,

1047
00:53:22,680 --> 00:53:25,560
Speaker 1: maybe that's why they canceled the press conference. Yeah. Really,

1048
00:53:26,440 --> 00:53:28,759
Speaker 1: he looked like he might have been you know, yeah,

1049
00:53:29,120 --> 00:53:32,840
Speaker 1: cycle little bit he worked out. No, No No, he's like

1050
00:53:32,880 --> 00:53:34,880
Speaker 1: a big yoga guy. You don't get a body like

1051
00:53:34,920 --> 00:53:37,640
Speaker 1: that from yoga. He's never been that thing, and then

1052
00:53:37,680 --> 00:53:40,279
Speaker 1: we had two nipples out too, and it's like we've

1053
00:53:40,320 --> 00:53:42,439
Speaker 1: got I guess you'd come a long license, Janet. Yeah,

1054
00:53:42,440 --> 00:53:45,040
Speaker 1: but no one was really freaking out, were they. I

1055
00:53:45,040 --> 00:53:48,680
Speaker 1: mean I wasn't really. I thought it was fine. It

1056
00:53:48,840 --> 00:53:52,000
Speaker 1: was good, It's great. The bar was so low that

1057
00:53:52,480 --> 00:53:54,719
Speaker 1: it was easy. Nothing could have I was. I was

1058
00:53:54,760 --> 00:53:57,520
Speaker 1: literally like in in tears. Last year seeing Justin, it

1059
00:53:57,560 --> 00:53:59,000
Speaker 1: was like I was so happy for him that he

1060
00:53:59,040 --> 00:54:02,480
Speaker 1: got that, you know again that this year, I was

1061
00:54:02,520 --> 00:54:04,960
Speaker 1: just like chilling. You know, I want to quate that

1062
00:54:05,040 --> 00:54:10,680
Speaker 1: performance with Jared Goffs. Yeah, Erica, as much as I

1063
00:54:10,680 --> 00:54:14,319
Speaker 1: hate the Patriots, I do thank you. Yeah, I don't know.

1064
00:54:14,320 --> 00:54:17,960
Speaker 1: I'm not so happy. I don't really care. I have

1065
00:54:17,960 --> 00:54:20,040
Speaker 1: to sit far away for me because he didn't want

1066
00:54:20,040 --> 00:54:22,680
Speaker 1: the risk of me being I do that for your

1067
00:54:22,719 --> 00:54:26,160
Speaker 1: benefit as well. You don't want to be but against

1068
00:54:26,200 --> 00:54:28,279
Speaker 1: your team. I mean I would. I'm sure I would

1069
00:54:28,320 --> 00:54:30,840
Speaker 1: feel the same and if the situation, Oh yeah, that

1070
00:54:30,880 --> 00:54:33,319
Speaker 1: reminds me. Your buddy Matt, who's a Jets fan that

1071
00:54:33,360 --> 00:54:36,120
Speaker 1: we got drinks with earlier this week, you made a

1072
00:54:36,160 --> 00:54:38,960
Speaker 1: comment that was so telling, such a loud reveal magnifico

1073
00:54:39,600 --> 00:54:41,799
Speaker 1: that Matt is one of your closest friends. You've known

1074
00:54:41,840 --> 00:54:43,160
Speaker 1: me for a long time. You know how much I

1075
00:54:43,200 --> 00:54:45,600
Speaker 1: care about the Jets. You said you would you would

1076
00:54:45,600 --> 00:54:47,960
Speaker 1: be totally cool. In fact, you would love for the

1077
00:54:48,040 --> 00:54:50,440
Speaker 1: Jets not to go to one Super Bowl fifty years. Well,

1078
00:54:50,480 --> 00:54:53,440
Speaker 1: I said, I also said, if they lose this one,

1079
00:54:53,520 --> 00:54:57,920
Speaker 1: I said, it's up to the Patriots six years and

1080
00:54:57,960 --> 00:55:02,680
Speaker 1: win six if I Dad, By the way, I can't

1081
00:55:02,680 --> 00:55:05,760
Speaker 1: get one in the next fifty years after me over

1082
00:55:05,880 --> 00:55:08,360
Speaker 1: thirty eight already. But you were against the Patriots in

1083
00:55:08,400 --> 00:55:10,600
Speaker 1: every single one. You and I talked to your dad.

1084
00:55:10,680 --> 00:55:13,520
Speaker 1: It's a little evil, Greg, just there's a little, tiny,

1085
00:55:13,680 --> 00:55:16,439
Speaker 1: little tiny drip drop of evil and that's the biggest rival.

1086
00:55:16,560 --> 00:55:19,279
Speaker 1: And this is we shouldn't be talking about the Patriots. Yeah,

1087
00:55:19,280 --> 00:55:21,400
Speaker 1: but I just think that's like bs because if the

1088
00:55:21,400 --> 00:55:24,360
Speaker 1: Browns were in, I would be full fledged, like killing

1089
00:55:24,360 --> 00:55:26,719
Speaker 1: myself for the Browns. Or if the Jets were in,

1090
00:55:26,920 --> 00:55:29,719
Speaker 1: I would literally be giving my entire soul to have

1091
00:55:29,880 --> 00:55:33,480
Speaker 1: them win for you if they got here. So we

1092
00:55:33,600 --> 00:55:35,960
Speaker 1: just you're a better person than Greg, Is that what

1093
00:55:36,040 --> 00:55:42,040
Speaker 1: we just Well obviously anyway, uh, final thoughts, I'd love

1094
00:55:42,080 --> 00:55:45,680
Speaker 1: to hear. Your final thought was if you have them

1095
00:55:46,640 --> 00:55:50,239
Speaker 1: also very late. Yes, I think seeing the greatest of

1096
00:55:50,280 --> 00:55:53,680
Speaker 1: all time throwing to the greatest of all time at

1097
00:55:53,680 --> 00:55:57,320
Speaker 1: a different position on the game winning drives it saved

1098
00:55:57,320 --> 00:55:59,839
Speaker 1: the game for me, like it finally gave me something

1099
00:55:59,840 --> 00:56:02,960
Speaker 1: to appreciate from the game. And seeing Tom Brady and

1100
00:56:02,960 --> 00:56:06,000
Speaker 1: Gronk making magic maybe for the final time. Yeah, I

1101
00:56:06,040 --> 00:56:09,440
Speaker 1: think that would be my final thought that certainly, and

1102
00:56:09,840 --> 00:56:11,799
Speaker 1: social media will say the same thing, and people will

1103
00:56:11,800 --> 00:56:14,320
Speaker 1: write about this tomorrow that this was a quote unquote

1104
00:56:14,320 --> 00:56:17,080
Speaker 1: boring super Bowl, And I it might have been, especially

1105
00:56:17,120 --> 00:56:19,080
Speaker 1: if you're on your couch at home, but in the

1106
00:56:19,120 --> 00:56:21,719
Speaker 1: building there was a lot of tension. Uh. It was

1107
00:56:21,760 --> 00:56:23,839
Speaker 1: a close game until the very end, in terms of

1108
00:56:24,280 --> 00:56:27,879
Speaker 1: a one possession game until the very end. So it

1109
00:56:27,960 --> 00:56:30,520
Speaker 1: wasn't to me one of those laughers, especially when we're

1110
00:56:30,520 --> 00:56:32,920
Speaker 1: growing up in the eighties and early nineties. I mean,

1111
00:56:33,120 --> 00:56:35,680
Speaker 1: people that are younger don't realize what a bad Super

1112
00:56:35,719 --> 00:56:39,200
Speaker 1: Bowl is. So they called this one a bad one. No, no, no, no,

1113
00:56:39,360 --> 00:56:42,520
Speaker 1: We're talking Jerry Rice having like six touchdowns at the

1114
00:56:42,600 --> 00:56:45,960
Speaker 1: end of the second quarter back in eight, nine and

1115
00:56:47,080 --> 00:56:49,520
Speaker 1: seven and thirty three. I mean that used to be

1116
00:56:49,560 --> 00:56:52,319
Speaker 1: the norm. So yes, this is probably the worst in

1117
00:56:52,440 --> 00:56:55,799
Speaker 1: terms of entertainment value Patriots super Bowl in the Brady era,

1118
00:56:55,840 --> 00:56:57,680
Speaker 1: but it still wasn't a terrible I would say one

1119
00:56:57,719 --> 00:57:00,520
Speaker 1: thing my takeaway would be Rams for a did that

1120
00:57:01,200 --> 00:57:05,960
Speaker 1: we we all were together when the Seahawks detonated the Broncos,

1121
00:57:06,480 --> 00:57:08,680
Speaker 1: and you wondered, You know, they had an aging Peyton

1122
00:57:08,680 --> 00:57:11,160
Speaker 1: Manning and they had a lot of talent, but would

1123
00:57:11,160 --> 00:57:13,560
Speaker 1: they ever get back? And I didn't know if they would.

1124
00:57:13,840 --> 00:57:16,520
Speaker 1: Two years later the Broncos went and a lot of

1125
00:57:16,520 --> 00:57:18,760
Speaker 1: people thought they would not beat the Panthers, and they

1126
00:57:18,760 --> 00:57:21,280
Speaker 1: pulled it off. And just that this Rams story is

1127
00:57:21,320 --> 00:57:23,440
Speaker 1: not over. It's gonna be a really it's gonna be

1128
00:57:23,480 --> 00:57:27,200
Speaker 1: an interesting offseason because last offseason the Rams were gushed

1129
00:57:27,240 --> 00:57:29,960
Speaker 1: over for months and months. Today they were exposed. But

1130
00:57:30,280 --> 00:57:33,520
Speaker 1: but there's a lot more progress and reason for hope

1131
00:57:33,520 --> 00:57:36,040
Speaker 1: in the Rams than reason to tear him apart and

1132
00:57:36,080 --> 00:57:40,160
Speaker 1: think it's over. I believe that was the final score.

1133
00:57:41,120 --> 00:57:43,600
Speaker 1: It felt like anything less than the Super Bowl would

1134
00:57:43,600 --> 00:57:45,960
Speaker 1: be a disappointment. You made the super Bowl, but it's

1135
00:57:45,960 --> 00:57:49,000
Speaker 1: crushing because you have older guys the roster. You can't

1136
00:57:49,040 --> 00:57:51,919
Speaker 1: keep it together for long, but they'll they'll have another chance.

1137
00:57:51,920 --> 00:57:54,760
Speaker 1: They're not They're not done. No, I don't. I don't

1138
00:57:54,800 --> 00:58:00,160
Speaker 1: think they're done. My my takeaway is just Bill Belichick, Like,

1139
00:58:02,160 --> 00:58:07,000
Speaker 1: what an incredible thing that he's built, that he's achieved,

1140
00:58:07,080 --> 00:58:10,720
Speaker 1: that will be told as long as there is in NFL.

1141
00:58:11,000 --> 00:58:13,240
Speaker 1: I mean, Vince Lombardi has got his name on the trophy.

1142
00:58:13,280 --> 00:58:16,960
Speaker 1: He's not taking that, but there's never been a figure

1143
00:58:17,000 --> 00:58:20,320
Speaker 1: in NFL history that's done anything like what Bill Belichick

1144
00:58:20,360 --> 00:58:23,520
Speaker 1: has done since Vince Lombardi. And this is a couple

1145
00:58:23,520 --> 00:58:27,440
Speaker 1: of super Bowls now that that really weren't about Tom Brady,

1146
00:58:27,480 --> 00:58:30,000
Speaker 1: that we're about the team. That was about special teams

1147
00:58:30,000 --> 00:58:33,200
Speaker 1: and linebackers and punting and the running game and the

1148
00:58:33,240 --> 00:58:36,720
Speaker 1: offensive line adjusting late in the season and finding your

1149
00:58:36,760 --> 00:58:40,000
Speaker 1: identity and kind of taking all these veterans and getting

1150
00:58:40,040 --> 00:58:43,360
Speaker 1: them going at the right time. And he's my favorite

1151
00:58:43,400 --> 00:58:47,440
Speaker 1: sports figure in any sport. And it to me this

1152
00:58:47,520 --> 00:58:51,120
Speaker 1: was such just a crowning Belichick moment because you know,

1153
00:58:51,120 --> 00:58:53,280
Speaker 1: what's hey, what's the difference between six and like five

1154
00:58:53,280 --> 00:58:55,440
Speaker 1: and six? I think it is a difference because this

1155
00:58:55,600 --> 00:58:59,920
Speaker 1: was improbable. Brady's forty one years old. You know, they've

1156
00:59:00,240 --> 00:59:03,680
Speaker 1: three out of five a decade plus after they won

1157
00:59:03,800 --> 00:59:07,080
Speaker 1: three out of four. That's just it's just kind of insane.

1158
00:59:07,160 --> 00:59:12,160
Speaker 1: And if gronk Um, you know, is retiring on such

1159
00:59:12,200 --> 00:59:14,920
Speaker 1: a high note as the greatest of all time, that's

1160
00:59:15,000 --> 00:59:18,160
Speaker 1: kind of the cherry on the Sunday, just like the

1161
00:59:18,280 --> 00:59:22,480
Speaker 1: Rainmaker retiring on a high note for him final late.

1162
00:59:22,720 --> 00:59:25,800
Speaker 1: He got all that money back. You stuck with the

1163
00:59:25,920 --> 00:59:29,400
Speaker 1: Rainmaker and you put all your tips in the table,

1164
00:59:30,040 --> 00:59:33,840
Speaker 1: and uh, now you're going to Hawaii and an island forever?

1165
00:59:34,080 --> 00:59:36,120
Speaker 1: Is that the first Is it true that that's the

1166
00:59:36,120 --> 00:59:38,520
Speaker 1: first time that the Rainmaker has predicted a game? Right?

1167
00:59:38,520 --> 00:59:41,400
Speaker 1: All years? We got two out of the first three,

1168
00:59:41,440 --> 00:59:46,720
Speaker 1: and then it was a show. Everything is just Greg

1169
00:59:46,760 --> 00:59:49,520
Speaker 1: and his friends with the Patriots having a great life

1170
00:59:49,560 --> 00:59:54,200
Speaker 1: and we're here to entertain him. Well that's it. Good job, guys,

1171
00:59:54,240 --> 00:59:59,440
Speaker 1: great season. Nice job on the Woks, Mark Mark. That's

1172
00:59:59,440 --> 01:00:03,840
Speaker 1: two years of row. You we tied last year, so

1173
01:00:03,920 --> 01:00:06,000
Speaker 1: you're you're starting a little dynasty yourself. I think the

1174
01:00:06,080 --> 01:00:12,320
Speaker 1: Rainmakers sitting right over here outsine Burn. All right, we

1175
01:00:12,360 --> 01:00:17,680
Speaker 1: will be back, am Burn. We'll be back Thursday, Uh

1176
01:00:17,920 --> 01:00:20,240
Speaker 1: with another show. We'll do some more super Bowl talk,

1177
01:00:20,320 --> 01:00:22,880
Speaker 1: but also spinning forward. Now is it goes on and

1178
01:00:22,960 --> 01:00:25,200
Speaker 1: on mark the season is not over for us? Yeah,

1179
01:00:25,400 --> 01:00:28,240
Speaker 1: nice season, but it continues on week after week, three

1180
01:00:28,240 --> 01:00:30,400
Speaker 1: shows a week from now until you know the end

1181
01:00:30,400 --> 01:00:33,720
Speaker 1: of days. So we're going to or have we done

1182
01:00:33,720 --> 01:00:36,280
Speaker 1: the show long enough where we should just start just

1183
01:00:36,320 --> 01:00:39,480
Speaker 1: suddenly mailing it in a little bit like the start

1184
01:00:39,520 --> 01:00:44,080
Speaker 1: to just like like we're doing all these shows, maybe

1185
01:00:44,120 --> 01:00:47,560
Speaker 1: like a little less grind aspect here. Next we could

1186
01:00:47,600 --> 01:00:50,520
Speaker 1: be asleep. We do just do one show and then

1187
01:00:50,520 --> 01:00:52,080
Speaker 1: it and then it comes back. There was some mailing

1188
01:00:52,120 --> 01:00:54,360
Speaker 1: in this week when we were on the stage of

1189
01:00:54,400 --> 01:00:58,080
Speaker 1: Piccadilly at not Piccadilly at Centennial Park the best that

1190
01:00:58,280 --> 01:01:00,640
Speaker 1: there was some mailing in at certain points this week.

1191
01:01:00,680 --> 01:01:04,400
Speaker 1: For sure, I think we would need next time we

1192
01:01:04,440 --> 01:01:06,960
Speaker 1: do something like that, um to put a little more

1193
01:01:06,960 --> 01:01:09,280
Speaker 1: pre thought into how it's going to operate, because we

1194
01:01:09,320 --> 01:01:11,160
Speaker 1: may be caught a little but by surprise. But this

1195
01:01:11,240 --> 01:01:13,120
Speaker 1: is our first show since the Life Show. I know

1196
01:01:13,160 --> 01:01:15,600
Speaker 1: that everyone listened to it, but that that was the

1197
01:01:15,600 --> 01:01:18,240
Speaker 1: opposite of that, and we thank everyone was another great

1198
01:01:18,400 --> 01:01:21,520
Speaker 1: was there for making that like an unbelievable experience that

1199
01:01:21,520 --> 01:01:24,480
Speaker 1: we're gonna keep doing the NFL season which is over.

1200
01:01:24,520 --> 01:01:27,320
Speaker 1: The two thousand eighteen season started with our trip to

1201
01:01:27,400 --> 01:01:31,760
Speaker 1: London which led into the kickoff game. Of course, the

1202
01:01:31,800 --> 01:01:35,840
Speaker 1: week three Browns went over the Jets right. Seven wins

1203
01:01:35,840 --> 01:01:39,640
Speaker 1: and another losing season from Cleveland, um, and it ended

1204
01:01:39,680 --> 01:01:42,320
Speaker 1: with another super Bowl win and another trip to the

1205
01:01:42,320 --> 01:01:45,720
Speaker 1: Super Bowl for our show. So a great successful season.
