Super Bowl next year 15 00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:03,720 Speaker 1: in Vegas. Oh, that's fun? Would that be? I think 16 00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:05,920 Speaker 1: that would be good.

Yeah, 22 00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:28,800 Speaker 1: of course I would go to Iceland if the Titans 23 00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:30,640 Speaker 1: were in a Super Bowl, and I would be thrilled 24 00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:32,720 Speaker 1: to be there.

He started 32 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:00,880 Speaker 1: in on him early in the week, and then the 33 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:07,360 Speaker 1: rest of the national media copied. Rhet Bryan's exactly what happened. 34 00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:11,120 Speaker 1: But you were on him early, you were on him often, 35 00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:14,080 Speaker 1: and by the time the week was up, he was 36 00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:17,400 Speaker 1: the talk of the week.

His game if we're 39 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,440 Speaker 1: talking camp right now, because he's a bigger player than 40 00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:31,799 Speaker 1: one I'm about to mention, but he reminds me of 41 00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,720 Speaker 1: kind of Elijah Mitchell and what he's been doing for 42 00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:38,440 Speaker 1: the San Francisco forty nine ers.

The only question about Spears, however, 45 00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:50,040 Speaker 1: is he's had some knee stuff and gonna have to 46 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:54,400 Speaker 1: answer that at the Combine, which is actually three weeks away. 47 00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:58,679 Speaker 1: We will be at the Combine February twenty eight through 48 00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:01,520 Speaker 1: March sixth, that's when it concludes.

Over the next few weeks. 76 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:39,159 Speaker 1: You will learn all sorts of things that lead up 77 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:41,680 Speaker 1: to the draft. Kind of let me take you through 78 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:44,920 Speaker 1: the timetable really quickly. Of course, the Super Bowl is 79 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:50,719 Speaker 1: in Glendale, Arizona this Sunday. The waiver system begins for 80 00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:54,279 Speaker 1: twenty twenty three on Monday. Wow. So it's like the 81 00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:58,520 Speaker 1: old Steve McNair post Super Bowl commercial that was on 82 00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:02,440 Speaker 1: where he was sitting in the Shay's lounge out by 83 00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:06,520 Speaker 1: the pool with his fancy bathrobe on and they were 84 00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:10,159 Speaker 1: singing tomorrow, tomorrow, the sun will come out tomorrow. Because 85 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:13,360 Speaker 1: it was a great ad. Because as of next Monday, 86 00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:16,840 Speaker 1: we're all O and O. Thirty two teams are O 87 00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:21,800 Speaker 1: and O. As the year starts, love It Tuesday February 88 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:28,840 Speaker 1: twenty first two weeks, teams can designate franchise or transition players. 89 00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:33,000 Speaker 1: That is going to be interesting to watch, particularly in Baltimore. 90 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:37,400 Speaker 1: We think with Lamar Jackson we shall see. The combine 91 00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:41,920 Speaker 1: opens Tuesday, February twenty eighth. Already mentioned that, and it 92 00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:47,119 Speaker 1: runs a week and then March the thirteenth, five weeks away, 93 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:51,680 Speaker 1: less than five weeks away. What do they call it? Here? 94 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:58,520 Speaker 1: The free agency negotiation period begins, otherwise known as legal tampering. 95 00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:01,800 Speaker 1: I love legal tampering, and I just call it what 96 00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:05,839 Speaker 1: it is, yeah, because it sounds so wrong, it sounds shady, 97 00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,400 Speaker 1: and I love it. But that's the whole thing is 98 00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:13,720 Speaker 1: NFL teams get to be shady for forty eight hours 99 00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:19,039 Speaker 1: before the league year begins on Wednesday, March the fifteenth. 100 00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,080 Speaker 1: I think it's great. I love that the league built 101 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:24,480 Speaker 1: it right into the calendar. But it's so great because 102 00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:28,360 Speaker 1: you've got this feeling that people are sitting in somebody's 103 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:30,880 Speaker 1: driveway ready to walk up and knock on the That 104 00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:34,359 Speaker 1: doesn't happen anymore. Used to used to happen, yeah, but 105 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:37,120 Speaker 1: now with technology you don't have to. But a coach 106 00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:41,359 Speaker 1: would be waiting outside because he wanted that player to 107 00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,120 Speaker 1: know we want you this badly. We're sitting outside your 108 00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:46,760 Speaker 1: house at eleven fifty nine. I think it's great. I 109 00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:48,479 Speaker 1: like that they were like, well, we know you guys 110 00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:50,039 Speaker 1: are going to do this anyway, so we may as 111 00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:52,720 Speaker 1: well make it legal for forty eight hours, do whatever 112 00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:54,960 Speaker 1: you need to do, and then let's rock and roll. Okay. 113 00:06:55,000 --> 00:07:00,480 Speaker 1: So then three o'clock Central time, Wednesday, March the fifteenth, 114 00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:04,840 Speaker 1: what happens. The league year starts, and that means you 115 00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:08,920 Speaker 1: can sign free agents. So you will probably have agreed 116 00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:13,000 Speaker 1: to some deals beforehand, but you can sign free agents. 117 00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:16,080 Speaker 1: You can do all the things with the testing in 118 00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:18,320 Speaker 1: terms of the medical you can bring them in. Those 119 00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:23,560 Speaker 1: things certainly can happen, and at three o'clock that day, 120 00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:27,440 Speaker 1: the top fifty one rule is in effect. That means 121 00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:32,840 Speaker 1: all clubs must be under the twenty twenty three salary 122 00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:37,040 Speaker 1: cap of two hundred twenty four point eight million dollars 123 00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:42,280 Speaker 1: prior to three o'clock based on their top fifty one salaries. 124 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:45,800 Speaker 1: And then with the fifty three part gets when you 125 00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:48,080 Speaker 1: get into the regular season correct it gets to the 126 00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:51,240 Speaker 1: first week of the seasons, I think roughly midweek. It's 127 00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:55,000 Speaker 1: either Tuesday or Wednesday of week one. First week of 128 00:07:55,080 --> 00:08:00,960 Speaker 1: the season is going to be Sunday, September ten, so 129 00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:03,560 Speaker 1: obviously there will be a Thursday night game on the seventh. 130 00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:07,120 Speaker 1: There's Monday Night football on the eleventh, but for that's 131 00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:12,600 Speaker 1: the week you have to be fifty three salaries, practice, squad, injured, reserve, 132 00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:17,560 Speaker 1: anything else. But starting five weeks from now three o'clock 133 00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:22,239 Speaker 1: on March the fifteenth, teams must be under the salary 134 00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:25,080 Speaker 1: cap by three o'clock Central Time based on their top 135 00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:30,320 Speaker 1: fifty one salaries. Two weeks after that, the league spring 136 00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:35,240 Speaker 1: meetings at the Builtmore Arizona and that's where we'll find 137 00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:39,680 Speaker 1: out about rules changes, we'll find out about other things 138 00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:42,520 Speaker 1: that the league is going to bring about. For twenty 139 00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:47,400 Speaker 1: twenty three, there are four major league meetings there quarterly. 140 00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:50,280 Speaker 1: This one is clearly the biggest win in terms of news. 141 00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:52,960 Speaker 1: This one's the biggest one in terms of news, mainly 142 00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:56,160 Speaker 1: because of those rules committee meetings and all of the 143 00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:59,680 Speaker 1: rules changes that come out of it. This is really 144 00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:03,240 Speaker 1: it's a three day event. There's a lot of things 145 00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:06,560 Speaker 1: that happen. Everybody makes it a point to be at 146 00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:09,480 Speaker 1: these meetings. It's not just owners. There's head coaches, there's 147 00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:13,000 Speaker 1: general managers, there's front office staff there. So those are 148 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:16,439 Speaker 1: kind of the big meetings of the year, and there's 149 00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:19,400 Speaker 1: always some interesting stuff that comes out of there, and 150 00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:23,680 Speaker 1: they're always a very beautiful place. They're beautiful locales built 151 00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:26,880 Speaker 1: more Arizona this year.

Well, the Vanderbilt's liked 154 00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:36,280 Speaker 1: birds in the lobby well, and that's I mean, good 155 00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:39,720 Speaker 1: for them. More in Asheville is very beautiful as well. 156 00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:43,240 Speaker 1: If you've never been there, you should go highly suggested, 157 00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:47,800 Speaker 1: highly suggested travel tips. All right, so this is what 158 00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:50,680 Speaker 1: we got going on, and it's about to get rolling. 159 00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:55,240 Speaker 1: You're gonna hear about coaches that are added to the 160 00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:59,640 Speaker 1: Titans roster. The Titans still without an offensive coordinator, still 161 00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:04,640 Speaker 1: without an offensive line coach, still without a secondary coach. 162 00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:08,000 Speaker 1: They haven't announced anything. There are certainly reports that are 163 00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:11,840 Speaker 1: out there right now. The reports that are out there 164 00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:15,160 Speaker 1: is the Titans have agreed to terms with Washington's Chris Harris, 165 00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:19,680 Speaker 1: but he's interviewing for defensive coordinator jobs so recently the 166 00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:22,640 Speaker 1: Houston Texas, so he may never get here. Who knows 167 00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:24,920 Speaker 1: and who knows if any of this is even accurate. 168 00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:30,480 Speaker 1: Reports that the Titans have agreed to terms with Lorid Locus, 169 00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:35,480 Speaker 1: who spent time in Tampa on their defensive staff, believe 170 00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:39,520 Speaker 1: she was an assistant with the defensive line. Correct, that's correct. 171 00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:45,040 Speaker 1: Coach Max says she can coach. Coach Max says she's 172 00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:47,360 Speaker 1: a ball coach. He knows her, Ye knows her. Well, 173 00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:50,480 Speaker 1: says she's a ball coach. That's all I need to know. Yep, 174 00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:53,480 Speaker 1: I'm here for it. I'm excited. So wherever she's coaching 175 00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:56,000 Speaker 1: on defense. Fined by me. Yep, yep, that's what I say. 176 00:10:57,160 --> 00:11:00,240 Speaker 1: Coach mc and had a conversation about this. I met 177 00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:02,480 Speaker 1: her at the Senior Bowl last week when she came 178 00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:07,160 Speaker 1: rushing over to coachman. Coach Dame McGinnis. Yes, she had 179 00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:11,559 Speaker 1: been with that the Football Alliance, the Birmingham Iron, I think, 180 00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:14,640 Speaker 1: and that Bruce Arians had inquired about her and brought 181 00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:18,880 Speaker 1: her to Tampa and so. But yeah, so it sounds 182 00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:22,520 Speaker 1: like she interviewed with coach Vrabel and sounds like things 183 00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:24,920 Speaker 1: are going well. And uh yeah, he gave her the 184 00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:28,520 Speaker 1: seal of approval. Coach mac did, so we know that. Yep. 185 00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:32,080 Speaker 1: Coach mack by the way needs a shout out the 186 00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:35,520 Speaker 1: player that he talked about at the Senior Bowl, the 187 00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:41,880 Speaker 1: most Osyrius Torrence, who played at Louisiana and then transferred 188 00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:47,320 Speaker 1: with his coach to Florida. According to Dane Brugler, whose 189 00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:51,199 Speaker 1: opinion I respect, draft analyst Dane Brugler of the Athletic, 190 00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:53,079 Speaker 1: I'm a big fan. If you have to admit, I've 191 00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:54,360 Speaker 1: been a big fan for a long time. You have 192 00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:57,959 Speaker 1: even before he was Dane Brugler of the Athletic, when 193 00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:00,439 Speaker 1: he was just Dame Brugler. Well, and then finding out 194 00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:04,280 Speaker 1: he was trained by our legendary scout Seal Bracado. Makes 195 00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:09,520 Speaker 1: a lot of sense. He says, Osyrius Torrence guard Florida, 196 00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:17,080 Speaker 1: was the best player at the Senior Bowl regardless of position. Wow, 197 00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:20,760 Speaker 1: regardless of position. And he's coach Max guy. Coach Max's 198 00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:24,480 Speaker 1: been on him all along. Thinks he's a guard that 199 00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:26,760 Speaker 1: you're going to draft and he will play right away. 200 00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:31,439 Speaker 1: Whispers that I hear lately is that he helped himself 201 00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:35,319 Speaker 1: well enough last week in Mobile that he is the 202 00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:38,040 Speaker 1: bottom third of the first round of the NFL draft well. 203 00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:41,240 Speaker 1: And the good news for the Titans, who have the 204 00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:46,440 Speaker 1: forty second pick is because he's a guard, he probably 205 00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:50,920 Speaker 1: won't go as high as what his projection is. Whereas 206 00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:55,439 Speaker 1: a quarterback normally goes higher, right, a guard normally falls, 207 00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:59,960 Speaker 1: and the cornerbacks and the edge rushers and the quarterback 208 00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,720 Speaker 1: and those things push those things down exactly right. We 209 00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:06,520 Speaker 1: have seen that in mini drafts. So it's possible that 210 00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:11,040 Speaker 1: Osiris Torrence, Florida Gator could end up there at forty 211 00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:13,000 Speaker 1: two if the Titans want to select him, or he 212 00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:18,000 Speaker 1: could go more highly if somebody is absolutely in love 213 00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:20,040 Speaker 1: with him. As a player or if they have a need, 214 00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:23,240 Speaker 1: or if they just say, this is what our board says, 215 00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:25,520 Speaker 1: and we're gonna stick with our board, and that does happen. 216 00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:29,680 Speaker 1: And the other thing that happens is positionally sometimes there's 217 00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:33,360 Speaker 1: a run on the first round or higher graded talent 218 00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:37,080 Speaker 1: of a particular position. It's true. Well, last year cold 219 00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:40,200 Speaker 1: Strange went to New England at the end of the 220 00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:44,079 Speaker 1: first round at twenty four I think much more high 221 00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:48,120 Speaker 1: in terms of the pick than what anybody anticipated, because 222 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:51,360 Speaker 1: they clearly had him at the top of their board 223 00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:54,320 Speaker 1: from what was less left, and they just stuck with 224 00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:57,560 Speaker 1: their pick. They just said, this is what we're gonna do. 225 00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:00,679 Speaker 1: And he played very well for the Patriots by all rights. 226 00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:05,440 Speaker 1: This year, some people can't be that true because of 227 00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:10,360 Speaker 1: their need. Oh at another position and they say, well, 228 00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:12,719 Speaker 1: we'd like to take this player here, this is where 229 00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:15,080 Speaker 1: we have him ranked. But we gotta get a receiver, 230 00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:17,880 Speaker 1: we gotta get a corner, and as Ritt says, we 231 00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:23,160 Speaker 1: fear a run. So we shall see. But kudos to 232 00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:25,640 Speaker 1: coach Dave McGinnis. Can I give a shout out to 233 00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:28,520 Speaker 1: go right ahead, Amy Wells. I would like to give 234 00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:30,640 Speaker 1: a shout out to Mike Keith, Oh boy, here we go, 235 00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:33,960 Speaker 1: who has also been making news in the last say, 236 00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:38,120 Speaker 1: thirty six hours news if I made well, Mike Keith, 237 00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:40,920 Speaker 1: thank you for asking. Turns out Peyton Manning is a 238 00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:44,160 Speaker 1: huge fan of yours. According to Jim Wyatt, hang on, 239 00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:46,960 Speaker 1: just rhet, do we have the audio? Can we roll that? Please? 240 00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:50,040 Speaker 1: Here we go? Absolutely, And I wouldn't call like what 241 00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:52,680 Speaker 1: I'm doing broadcasting, you know, Eli and I we're the 242 00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:56,000 Speaker 1: I'm not sure what we're doing. But Mike's the best. 243 00:14:57,120 --> 00:14:59,200 Speaker 1: I stay in touch with Mike, you know, text them 244 00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:05,320 Speaker 1: obviously earned Tennessee Valls victories, and he texted me kind 245 00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:08,240 Speaker 1: of a clip of Ram Carthon. They were watching some 246 00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:10,800 Speaker 1: film of when Ram was playing when I was playing. 247 00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:13,880 Speaker 1: So Mike's the best. I've been doing it a long time, 248 00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:18,440 Speaker 1: true pro and obviously a great volunteer as well. Okay, 249 00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:21,160 Speaker 1: so there you have it. Apparently he's a big friend 250 00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:23,960 Speaker 1: of a friend of yours. You guys, nice back and forth. 251 00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:27,680 Speaker 1: That was nice of him to say, it's possible it's 252 00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:30,280 Speaker 1: the first nice thing he's ever said about me public. Well, 253 00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:32,240 Speaker 1: it's nice that you say that, because I actually had 254 00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:36,680 Speaker 1: a conversation with Peyton Manning about you in like twenty nineteen. 255 00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:40,800 Speaker 1: Don't ask these questions. But we had a conversation and 256 00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:44,000 Speaker 1: he actually said the exact opposite. So Ratt, can you 257 00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:47,120 Speaker 1: play that too? This banquet is over. That's what ibvious 258 00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:50,040 Speaker 1: celebrating more, not just being ducted into the Hall of 259 00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:53,960 Speaker 1: Famers of life about emailing me and texted me. He 260 00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:56,480 Speaker 1: texted me and email is the same famil In case 261 00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:58,520 Speaker 1: I don't get the text, I have an email as 262 00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:08,080 Speaker 1: a back. So it's a lot. So now Peyton Manning 263 00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:09,960 Speaker 1: speaking out of both sides of his mouth, Hang on 264 00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,960 Speaker 1: just a second. That's more like it. That is my 265 00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:17,640 Speaker 1: relationship with Peyton Manning over the years. He when he 266 00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:20,400 Speaker 1: was a player at Tennessee. I know this is hard 267 00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:22,280 Speaker 1: for people to believe, but I had a talk show 268 00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:25,120 Speaker 1: in Knoxville. I think a lot of people would believe that. 269 00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:29,760 Speaker 1: So I had a talk show and Brent Hubbs, who 270 00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:33,880 Speaker 1: works for ON three and runs the Vault Quest website 271 00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:36,960 Speaker 1: and is you know, absolutely the authority on vall sports. 272 00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:39,280 Speaker 1: He was just starting out and he worked with me 273 00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:43,800 Speaker 1: at that point, and he comes in and he says, 274 00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:46,680 Speaker 1: during a break, he says, you're gonna want to take 275 00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:51,640 Speaker 1: a line. Whatever, it's Peyton Manning when we come back 276 00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:54,280 Speaker 1: from break, you're gonna want to take this call, I said. 277 00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:58,480 Speaker 1: Peyton Manning is not He's Tennessee's quarterback. I can't have 278 00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:03,920 Speaker 1: current athletes on my show by rule really well by 279 00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:07,000 Speaker 1: rule of the University of Tennessee. So if I violate this, 280 00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:09,600 Speaker 1: then I'm going to be in trouble with the Sports 281 00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:13,040 Speaker 1: Information Department. So I'm sitting here going, okay, A, is 282 00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:16,560 Speaker 1: it really Peyton Manning? Because a lot of times when 283 00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:19,159 Speaker 1: you host a talk show for the OT people, I 284 00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:22,840 Speaker 1: pull back the curtain when you get in those situations 285 00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:27,040 Speaker 1: and you're discussing it off air, A very good chance 286 00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:31,960 Speaker 1: it's not Peyton Manning. B very good chance it's somebody 287 00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:34,120 Speaker 1: who's going to get on there and then just say 288 00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:38,400 Speaker 1: something obscene, right because they're trying to embarrass you. They 289 00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:41,919 Speaker 1: want to tape it. Hey, let's welcome Peyton Manning to 290 00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:45,200 Speaker 1: the show. And then whomever comes into its curses yes, 291 00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:49,080 Speaker 1: and it becomes something that just ends up being obscene. 292 00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:51,720 Speaker 1: Those are the moments that you have you hope you 293 00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:54,600 Speaker 1: have a dump button. I mean, just all kinds of 294 00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:57,720 Speaker 1: bad things could happen. So I'm weighing this. Am I 295 00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:00,280 Speaker 1: going to get in trouble with the Sports information depart 296 00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:07,520 Speaker 1: They're already crazed when it comes to Peyton Manning right well, 297 00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:10,040 Speaker 1: because he had just done the thing where he said 298 00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:13,480 Speaker 1: I'm coming back for my senior year. So now he's 299 00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:16,479 Speaker 1: a bigger hero than Davy Crockett. He's on all of 300 00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:20,120 Speaker 1: the different shows and whatever around the Country's on Good 301 00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:24,760 Speaker 1: Morning America. I mean, the whole thing is crazy. So 302 00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:28,800 Speaker 1: Hubber says, I think it really is him. I said, 303 00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:31,399 Speaker 1: do we do this? He goes, well, he said, you know, 304 00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:33,520 Speaker 1: we got a chance to have Peyton Manning on the show. 305 00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:36,760 Speaker 1: He says, whatever trouble we're gonna get in will be 306 00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:42,000 Speaker 1: worth it. Yeah, because that's the way Hubbs is. He's 307 00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:45,000 Speaker 1: this guy forgiveness not permitted. Well, who did he learn 308 00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:48,360 Speaker 1: it from? You? Yeah? So I'm like, you're right, We've 309 00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:50,800 Speaker 1: got to take the chance. So we come back. Welcome 310 00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:54,200 Speaker 1: back to sports talk here on Newstalk ninety nine. Let's 311 00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:57,280 Speaker 1: go to the phones. Peyton online. I don't remember line three, 312 00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:02,639 Speaker 1: it's Peyton Manning. Is hey just driving along? What's going on? Well? First, 313 00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:05,000 Speaker 1: first part of the stories, it's nineteen ninety seven, and 314 00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:08,440 Speaker 1: he's got a car phone. Yeah, and it was at 315 00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:11,359 Speaker 1: that time a car phone. It wasn't a mobile device. 316 00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:14,840 Speaker 1: It was just attached to the car. But his dad's 317 00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:17,119 Speaker 1: Archie Manning, and you know the whole thing. Yeah, so 318 00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:20,159 Speaker 1: no surprise. So I'm like, hey, Peyton, how are you doing? 319 00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:23,080 Speaker 1: So I ask him something that only Peyton would know, 320 00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:27,479 Speaker 1: and sure enough, he goes, I'm just calling to quiz you. 321 00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:29,960 Speaker 1: And I'm like, oh, this is not gonna be good 322 00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:34,600 Speaker 1: for me. He goes. They had the pro scouts in today. Everybody, 323 00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:37,920 Speaker 1: even the guys who aren't eligible for the draft, ran 324 00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:41,840 Speaker 1: forty times. Who do you think was the fastest? Well, 325 00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:44,840 Speaker 1: Tennessee has a who's who of receivers at that point. 326 00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:48,680 Speaker 1: I mean, it's a track team. It's Marcus Nash, it's 327 00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:52,320 Speaker 1: Peerless Price. I mean, it's Greg Kyler. I mean, they've 328 00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:57,439 Speaker 1: got all these guys that can run run um and 329 00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:00,280 Speaker 1: so of course every one of my guesses is wrong. 330 00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:03,200 Speaker 1: It's actually a guy named Andy McCullough who went to 331 00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:06,600 Speaker 1: high school with Peerless Price, who was this unbelievable athlete. 332 00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:10,680 Speaker 1: Never became a great receiver. He was more great athlete, 333 00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:14,199 Speaker 1: but he ran like four three something. So Peyton did 334 00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:16,159 Speaker 1: exactly what he wanted. He made me look bad on 335 00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:18,919 Speaker 1: my own show, yeah, which is and that was the 336 00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:23,080 Speaker 1: first of a series that's us you just heard. That 337 00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:26,600 Speaker 1: was the whole thing. So I don't really have a 338 00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:31,919 Speaker 1: relationship with him for like fourteen fifteen years because he 339 00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:35,840 Speaker 1: plays for the Colts where the Titans all we want 340 00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:38,600 Speaker 1: to do is beat him. I mean, that was the 341 00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:42,800 Speaker 1: whole thing. All these my relatives from East Tennessee would say, 342 00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:47,320 Speaker 1: isn't that great? Peyton did so good? You know, I mean, no, no, 343 00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:50,000 Speaker 1: it's how can you not pull for Peyton? I'm like, 344 00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:53,959 Speaker 1: got very easily. Yeah, somebody else in his division signs 345 00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:56,919 Speaker 1: my paycheck. It's my job. Yes, yeah. So I think 346 00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:59,280 Speaker 1: I saw him probably one time, and we always had 347 00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:01,879 Speaker 1: a solid relationship. When he was a player at Tennessee. 348 00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:06,920 Speaker 1: He'd liked to give me a hard time just constantly 349 00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:10,600 Speaker 1: because he thought and probably accurately so that I was 350 00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:13,040 Speaker 1: being a know it all all the time, because that 351 00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:14,840 Speaker 1: was kind of the I mean, we did a talk show, 352 00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:18,800 Speaker 1: so what was I going to do? Talk and you 353 00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:21,439 Speaker 1: have to offer opinions, and when the opinions are wrong, 354 00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:25,760 Speaker 1: certain people always yeah, I want to give you the 355 00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:30,000 Speaker 1: business occupational hazard. So I get a call in twenty 356 00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:34,840 Speaker 1: sixteen and they said, Peyton Manning's friend of mine at 357 00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:41,000 Speaker 1: the University of Tennessee says, Peyton Manning is giving multimillion 358 00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:45,080 Speaker 1: dollars to the University of Tennessee. It's like, WHOA, that's nice. 359 00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:50,840 Speaker 1: Say he's doing a reception and it's a very exclusive 360 00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:55,000 Speaker 1: delio with like fifty of the biggest people and there 361 00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:57,719 Speaker 1: were several billionaires in the room, by the way, I mean, 362 00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:01,680 Speaker 1: it was a thing. And they say, Bob Kessling, who 363 00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:06,879 Speaker 1: the voice of the Valls, has to do a baseball game, 364 00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:11,840 Speaker 1: would you be willing to come host with Peyton. I 365 00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:16,840 Speaker 1: was like, yes, he's retired at this point, there's no 366 00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:19,320 Speaker 1: problem anymore. I was like, yes, I will be there. 367 00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:21,720 Speaker 1: So literally, I drove over there on a Friday, and 368 00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:23,840 Speaker 1: I drove back that night. I was in Knoxville for 369 00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:27,440 Speaker 1: two hours because we were busy doing something during the day, 370 00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:29,359 Speaker 1: and I just said, yeah, I'm gonna do it. So 371 00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:33,960 Speaker 1: I had worked with him on what he wanted to 372 00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:38,360 Speaker 1: talk about. Because this will stun you, he prepares forever. Yeah, 373 00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:42,680 Speaker 1: that seems about right. I would have guessed. And so 374 00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:47,160 Speaker 1: since that time, I've gotten to do four events with him, 375 00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:49,680 Speaker 1: four or five events with him. He prepares the same 376 00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:52,880 Speaker 1: every time. What would you guess? Is the one story 377 00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:55,959 Speaker 1: he has to tell that everybody wants to hear at 378 00:22:56,000 --> 00:23:02,800 Speaker 1: every event. I don't know, college or NFL. While he 379 00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:11,159 Speaker 1: was in the NFL, Oh, I don't know, he tells 380 00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:14,200 Speaker 1: the story he has to tell the story about when 381 00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:17,640 Speaker 1: he hosted Saturday Night Live. Oh yeah, yeah yeah, And 382 00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:21,080 Speaker 1: the skit is the one where he's playing football with 383 00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:25,399 Speaker 1: the little kids. It's really good neighborhood yep. If you 384 00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:27,600 Speaker 1: haven't ever watched it, I mean, I'm sure it's on 385 00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:31,440 Speaker 1: YouTube orwere Yeah, it's everywhere, and it's like a fake 386 00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:37,000 Speaker 1: United Way commercial or something. Yep. It is so good 387 00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:39,760 Speaker 1: because when Eli hosted, he did something similar that was 388 00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:44,280 Speaker 1: pretty funny. But the only thing I've ever seen, so 389 00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:48,720 Speaker 1: it's totally against his persona. You know, that's I don't 390 00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:50,840 Speaker 1: want to give the bit away, and I'm certainly not 391 00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:52,920 Speaker 1: going to tell his part of the story because if 392 00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:55,560 Speaker 1: you ever have the chance to hear him speak, hearing 393 00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:58,560 Speaker 1: him tell the story of how they shot it is magnificent. 394 00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:03,200 Speaker 1: But the only thing I've ever seen where somebody goes 395 00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:06,720 Speaker 1: so against their type. One eighty was Wayne Brady on 396 00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:10,440 Speaker 1: Dave Chappelle and if you've ever seen that skit, that's 397 00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:14,119 Speaker 1: one of the most ridiculously funny things ever. It is 398 00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:17,239 Speaker 1: so wrong. Well this is so wrong too, and he 399 00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:19,520 Speaker 1: loved doing it, and he tells I mean, he tells 400 00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:21,840 Speaker 1: just great stories. I got to host something with his 401 00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:27,280 Speaker 1: dad one time as well. I don't email and text him. 402 00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:30,920 Speaker 1: I don't. That's not true. That's not what he says. 403 00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:32,679 Speaker 1: Clip and the second clip of the first clip, the 404 00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:35,679 Speaker 1: first one he says, I did send him. So Coach 405 00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:40,080 Speaker 1: Mack did the Microsoft Surface Beneath the Surface feature with 406 00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:44,520 Speaker 1: Ran Carthon where Rand was playing for Indianapolis against US, 407 00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:49,520 Speaker 1: and Ran really enjoyed it. He really enjoyed seeing the 408 00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:51,960 Speaker 1: clips of him play and it was fun to watch 409 00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:54,480 Speaker 1: Peyton as his quarterback and he referenced Peyton, and so 410 00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:57,640 Speaker 1: I did. I forwarded that to Peyton and he did 411 00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:00,920 Speaker 1: watch it, and he did enjoy it. If it anybody's texting, 412 00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:07,520 Speaker 1: I don't text him for it's him texting you occasionally. Well, 413 00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:10,760 Speaker 1: when I've got to do something or his son, Marshall 414 00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:15,919 Speaker 1: is a huge Derrick Henry fan. So Marshall's all in 415 00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:18,840 Speaker 1: anything Derrick Henry. I have seen pictures of Marshall into 416 00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:22,480 Speaker 1: Derrick Henry jersey, which we like. Yes, that's very cool, 417 00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:25,040 Speaker 1: that's very cool. But I mean it was nice of 418 00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:28,399 Speaker 1: him to say something nice about me, and I'm appreciative. 419 00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:32,360 Speaker 1: So Marshall make a couple of tosses at the Pro Bowl. 420 00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:35,119 Speaker 1: There's something there. Huh. Do you see Marshall throw that 421 00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:38,720 Speaker 1: ball as I did? So I watched that back. Yeah, 422 00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:40,840 Speaker 1: I was like, I'm gonna run that back. I watched 423 00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:44,520 Speaker 1: it three times. Marshall has a better throwing motion, maybe 424 00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:47,560 Speaker 1: even than his dad. He I mean to be what 425 00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:52,480 Speaker 1: is he eleven? He has eleven? It's pretty awesome. So 426 00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:54,960 Speaker 1: the future is bright for the Manning family. So the 427 00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:57,840 Speaker 1: future is bright. A couple of questions before we finish 428 00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:00,439 Speaker 1: up this OTP, which is really just have been all 429 00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:02,159 Speaker 1: over the block, hasn't it? Yeah? But I kind of 430 00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:05,400 Speaker 1: liked these all over the road Uncle Mike's storytime. Yeah. Well, 431 00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:07,679 Speaker 1: I like being able to pull back the curtain of 432 00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:10,560 Speaker 1: what our conversations are actually like, which is chaotic. But 433 00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:12,040 Speaker 1: let me just say, let me go back to the 434 00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:15,119 Speaker 1: Manning thing. I don't text him every day, and he 435 00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:18,439 Speaker 1: doesn't text me every day. When when I saw the 436 00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:20,840 Speaker 1: look on his face when Jim White asked him the question, 437 00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:22,840 Speaker 1: I thought, Okay, now I'm going to get hit again. 438 00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:26,760 Speaker 1: I thought I'm gonna get hit hard. He's gonna make 439 00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:28,520 Speaker 1: But it is true. I did send him the Ran 440 00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:32,240 Speaker 1: Carthon thing, which is probably the first thing I've texted 441 00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:36,640 Speaker 1: him in a long time, like a week. No, that's 442 00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:39,240 Speaker 1: not true. I don't do that. I do not do that. 443 00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:44,080 Speaker 1: Don't say that because I'm just asking. Yeah, a long 444 00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:46,760 Speaker 1: time is different for everybody. Yeah, but when you're missing 445 00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:50,439 Speaker 1: your friend, well, but Ran Carthon is this guy. Yeah, No, 446 00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:52,760 Speaker 1: it's very nice. That was a very heads up play 447 00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:55,640 Speaker 1: by you. I thought that was nice, awesome, It really 448 00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:58,600 Speaker 1: was good. It was so good and to see Ran 449 00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:02,160 Speaker 1: and how thrilled he was to see himself in action. 450 00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:08,160 Speaker 1: Did Ashley Farrell edit that? I'm not sure who edited it, 451 00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:11,400 Speaker 1: one of the three, but it was phenomenal, really well 452 00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:16,480 Speaker 1: done well Ashley Farrell, Jack Mummert, Jeanette Morley, whomever did 453 00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:20,080 Speaker 1: it that works on our team.

Conclusion of this podcast. Okay, so who wins 503 00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:28,640 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl? Rep? Brian, I say the Kansas City 504 00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:33,760 Speaker 1: Chiefs still do it? I just Patrick mahomes Is. I 505 00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:37,800 Speaker 1: think about the conversation speaking of OTPs that we had 506 00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:40,360 Speaker 1: at the Senior Bowl with Stefani A Belle, the injury 507 00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:43,440 Speaker 1: analyst for ESPN. She said, he'll have two weeks to 508 00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:46,360 Speaker 1: prepare for this, and she said, in my opinion, I 509 00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:48,400 Speaker 1: think he was just playing through a difficult injury and 510 00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:50,240 Speaker 1: did not hurt it any worse than what it was. 511 00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:52,880 Speaker 1: And if he's got two weeks to get ready, which 512 00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:55,400 Speaker 1: he will have by the time that happens. I just 513 00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:58,760 Speaker 1: they've been there and done that. But there's a part 514 00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:01,960 Speaker 1: of you that goes but the Eagles are riding something special. 515 00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:04,760 Speaker 1: I still say it's the Kansas City Chiefs, though, yeah, 516 00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:07,160 Speaker 1: I think it's the Philadelphia Eagles. I think that they've 517 00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:10,680 Speaker 1: had They've just had it firing on all cylinders all 518 00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:15,680 Speaker 1: season long. I think they've got too many complete phases 519 00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:19,240 Speaker 1: of that game. I mean, Kansas City is riding a 520 00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:24,600 Speaker 1: lot on fancy things and kind of a flick of 521 00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:26,880 Speaker 1: the wrist, and there's a lot of smoke and mirrors 522 00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:29,080 Speaker 1: and magic that seems to happen with Kansas City, and 523 00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:32,600 Speaker 1: they're winning and it works and that's great. I think 524 00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:36,680 Speaker 1: that Philadelphia is a more complete, stable team, and I 525 00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:38,680 Speaker 1: think that's going to show on Sunday. I think we 526 00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:40,480 Speaker 1: run it back to Super Bowl. I guess it was 527 00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:43,800 Speaker 1: fifty where Carolina came in fifteen and one and they 528 00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:47,240 Speaker 1: were supposed to be Denver and then didn't. I think 529 00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:50,120 Speaker 1: Philadelphia is Carolina in that equation. I think if the 530 00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:54,080 Speaker 1: game were played with no week off, Philadelphia wins. I 531 00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:57,120 Speaker 1: like Kansas City with two weeks, not just because of health, 532 00:31:57,160 --> 00:32:01,080 Speaker 1: but because of coaching, because they've been there. But most importantly, 533 00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:06,760 Speaker 1: I think Kansas City can block Philadelphia's front And because 534 00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:09,680 Speaker 1: I believe that, I think Patrick Mahomes will show out. 535 00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:13,880 Speaker 1: I also think Steve Spagnola will have something for Jalen 536 00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:18,640 Speaker 1: Hurts and the Philadelphia offense. I'll tell you what I guess. 537 00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:22,440 Speaker 1: I wasn't playing paying too close attention to this matchup 538 00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:25,040 Speaker 1: due to my overall anger of not being in it. 539 00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:30,000 Speaker 1: This is the Andy Reid Bowl, like all roads lead 540 00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:33,200 Speaker 1: to Andy Reid. In this matchup, I was watching some 541 00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:37,360 Speaker 1: yeah coached in Philly. He's coached with like every single 542 00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:39,560 Speaker 1: person that's going to be on the field. Fired Nick 543 00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:41,600 Speaker 1: Serry any when he became the head coach of the 544 00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:44,240 Speaker 1: Chief and that has always been a little pain point 545 00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:46,920 Speaker 1: for him, which also I think makes this matchup interesting 546 00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:49,320 Speaker 1: from a coaching perspective. I shouldn't say that he didn't 547 00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:52,320 Speaker 1: fire him, he did not retain him as receivers coach. 548 00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:54,200 Speaker 1: I mean he let him. He let the guy walk, 549 00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:57,560 Speaker 1: and Syrian, to his credit, has said Andy Reid was 550 00:32:57,880 --> 00:33:01,200 Speaker 1: super about He said, listen, I got a guy. You 551 00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:04,000 Speaker 1: know you'll be okay. You know you're gonna do well, 552 00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:06,000 Speaker 1: and then he went on to the Chargers and everything's 553 00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:11,480 Speaker 1: worked out. But Sirian, he's clearly a guy who keeps Yeah, 554 00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:14,760 Speaker 1: I agree, he keeps your sipts. But I just thought 555 00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:18,080 Speaker 1: that was so interesting. Every road leads to Andy Reid 556 00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:22,760 Speaker 1: in the super Bowl. It's wild and it's the biggest 557 00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:28,520 Speaker 1: gap in coaches ages in Super Bowl history. And it's 558 00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:31,760 Speaker 1: the two youngest quarterbacks starting against each other in super 559 00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:34,600 Speaker 1: Bowl history at twenty seven and twenty four years old. Yes, 560 00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:40,000 Speaker 1: two African American quarterbacks, who black quarterbacks starting in the 561 00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:43,120 Speaker 1: Super Bowl for the first time ever. A lot of 562 00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:45,960 Speaker 1: a lot of firsts in this one. How do we 563 00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:48,640 Speaker 1: feel about the Kelsey brothers Mom? Do you think she's 564 00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:51,760 Speaker 1: a nervous rack? I think she wins either way. I 565 00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:54,960 Speaker 1: think I've had enough. Oh you're done, You're done with Donna. 566 00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:58,080 Speaker 1: I'm a little yeah that story. Of course, during super 567 00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:00,720 Speaker 1: Bowl week I get grumpy like you do, and when 568 00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:03,160 Speaker 1: I start to get the same stories over and over again, 569 00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:05,600 Speaker 1: it makes you. Yeah. That's why I wanted to record 570 00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:08,200 Speaker 1: this otp early in the week, so because because I 571 00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:10,719 Speaker 1: could get I could go off on tangents about so 572 00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:14,520 Speaker 1: many different things. All the dumb questions at media night. 573 00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:20,520 Speaker 1: That's the point of media nighted, Yes, that's the whole point. 574 00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:24,640 Speaker 1: You get so many non sports people covering a sports event. 575 00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:26,719 Speaker 1: You've got to give him one night to get all 576 00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:28,920 Speaker 1: of the goofa loop stuff out and then we can 577 00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:32,560 Speaker 1: carry out. Having done that and having witnessed that twenty 578 00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:36,400 Speaker 1: three years ago, it hasn't changed. You know, things in 579 00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:40,440 Speaker 1: life have progressed. You know, we have we have better technology, 580 00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:42,440 Speaker 1: we have better healthcare, we have better cars, we have 581 00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:47,759 Speaker 1: The Super Bowl press day has not No, there are 582 00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:52,520 Speaker 1: still some people there that ask, and I mean I 583 00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:56,640 Speaker 1: know they have to. But the most chaotic experience there 584 00:34:56,680 --> 00:35:00,640 Speaker 1: when we were there and he was in later hosen, Yeah, 585 00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:02,920 Speaker 1: and that was a kind of an interesting Well it 586 00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:05,880 Speaker 1: just makes you wonder. It's like, did they filter anybody 587 00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:10,279 Speaker 1: for credential Well, I don't. I mean, I guess they 588 00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:12,560 Speaker 1: have to credential them because this guy was with a 589 00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:17,839 Speaker 1: legitimate outlet. I guess he's part of the thing leader 590 00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:22,400 Speaker 1: hoose and weekly maybe monthly. You're there, you're looking at that, 591 00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:26,680 Speaker 1: You're going, I mean, you know, it's a look.
