We've done a lot of recapping what 0:00:10.240 --> 0:00:14.120 we saw last night. Who's more super Bowl worthy? The 0:00:14.240 --> 0:00:18.520 Chargers of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Vegas says the Chargers 0:00:18.680 --> 0:00:23.680 right now, but Tampa outlast Houston, Houston, we have a problem. 0:00:24.239 --> 0:00:27.160 They win it twenty to nineteen. The Chargers handled the Raiders, 0:00:27.440 --> 0:00:30.560 but the bigger issue was Tom Brady in the coaches 0:00:30.640 --> 0:00:34.240 booth last night with a headset on helping Chip Kelly 0:00:34.280 --> 0:00:37.080 with the offense. Joe Burrow out for at least three months. 0:00:37.640 --> 0:00:41.160 JJ McCarthy out for at least two weeks, maybe a month. 0:00:41.720 --> 0:00:45.720 You've got Justin Fields and Jaden Daniels are iffy as well. 0:00:46.200 --> 0:00:51.559 College football rankings came out Ohio State, Penn State, LSU, Miami, Georgia, Oregon, 0:00:51.600 --> 0:00:56.959 Florida State, Texas, Illinois, and Texas A and M eight 0:00:57.040 --> 0:00:59.640 seven to seven to three.

Who looks more super bowlish? 0:01:28.480 --> 0:01:31.360 Chargers have about sixty seven percent of that vote. Okay, 0:01:31.680 --> 0:01:34.080 to an OAFC team that won't make the playoffs? Your 0:01:34.120 --> 0:01:39.720 options there, Bill's Chargers, Bengals, Colts. Bengals have seventy seven 0:01:39.800 --> 0:01:42.959 percent of the all right, so they're buying into my 0:01:43.040 --> 0:01:44.640 Colts here, all right? 0:01:44.959 --> 0:01:48.000 I like it. Danny in second place there, Danny dimes 0:01:48.120 --> 0:01:50.760 whether or not in last though, Yes, Paul. 0:01:50.640 --> 0:01:53.480 Your Colts had the highest scoring margin in the NFL, 0:01:53.520 --> 0:01:54.880 outscoring their opponents so far. 0:01:55.000 --> 0:01:56.040 You sound surprised. 0:01:57.520 --> 0:01:58.720 I think America is surprised. 0:01:58.760 --> 0:02:03.480 H I'm not America. I just try to entertain America. 0:02:04.000 --> 0:02:07.920 And so does Dean Blandinos segue Fox Sports, NFL college 0:02:07.920 --> 0:02:12.840 football rules analyst, former NFL VP of Officiating, watching the game. 0:02:12.960 --> 0:02:15.800 Next thing I know, Dean Blandino's says he's done with 0:02:15.840 --> 0:02:19.799 the toush push can't officiate. I go, Dean, your microphone 0:02:19.840 --> 0:02:23.600 is on. What was what was the reaction? Why did 0:02:23.680 --> 0:02:25.480 you have that reaction in the moment? 0:02:26.240 --> 0:02:28.520 That was a visceral reaction. 0:02:28.720 --> 0:02:32.919 Look, we had the game obviously Chiefs Eagles, big Super 0:02:32.960 --> 0:02:37.160 Bowl rematch, and you know, we had a couple of 0:02:37.240 --> 0:02:40.239 the Eagles. Look the play, they run it better than 0:02:40.520 --> 0:02:43.760 anyone else, and they work at it and it's impressive 0:02:43.760 --> 0:02:47.000 what they do. But just in that game, we had 0:02:47.000 --> 0:02:51.160 a couple two goal to goal plays. Third down looks 0:02:51.200 --> 0:02:53.799 like Hertz is in, they rule them short. It's really 0:02:53.880 --> 0:02:56.560 tough to review. Can't see the football all these bodies. 0:02:57.120 --> 0:02:59.360 Next play fourth and goal, they will touchdown. You've got 0:02:59.400 --> 0:03:01.800 both guards moving early. Should have been a false start. 0:03:01.880 --> 0:03:05.520 Then later in the game another big first down conversion 0:03:05.680 --> 0:03:08.360 and you've got the guard moving early. So it just 0:03:08.400 --> 0:03:10.960 got to the point for me where I've never I've 0:03:10.960 --> 0:03:13.920 been on record, I don't love the play. It was 0:03:14.000 --> 0:03:17.400 illegal to push runners forever, you know, since the inception 0:03:17.480 --> 0:03:20.119 of the league until two thousand and five. We took 0:03:20.160 --> 0:03:23.000 it out, and in hindsight, I think that was a mistake, 0:03:23.120 --> 0:03:26.200 and now we're stuck with this play that that is 0:03:26.240 --> 0:03:29.200 a really difficult play to officiate. It just is and 0:03:29.680 --> 0:03:31.560 personally it's not a I just don't think it's a 0:03:31.560 --> 0:03:32.920 great play to watch. 0:03:34.120 --> 0:03:38.280 But you can officiate this by calling the guards, you know, 0:03:38.400 --> 0:03:41.440 off side. Why don't we start with that, no question? 0:03:41.480 --> 0:03:43.480 Look, look those are those should have been called. 0:03:43.520 --> 0:03:47.280 That's not that I'm not condoning and making an excuse 0:03:47.320 --> 0:03:47.760 for that. 0:03:48.120 --> 0:03:49.480 Was that should have been called. 0:03:49.480 --> 0:03:51.600 But I think once you take that out of the mix, 0:03:51.880 --> 0:03:53.960 it's just with all those bodies and trying to get 0:03:54.000 --> 0:03:56.440 the spot and we're trying to be perfect on these spots, 0:03:56.440 --> 0:03:58.920 and now we have virtual measurements, it's. 0:03:58.800 --> 0:03:59.560 Just a tough play. 0:03:59.600 --> 0:04:01.720 My thing is, it's just not a it's it's not 0:04:02.120 --> 0:04:04.160 when you think about the rules, it's just not a 0:04:04.160 --> 0:04:06.360 fair play. The defense can't push the runner back and 0:04:06.400 --> 0:04:09.400 gain an advantage. There's always forward progress, but we let 0:04:09.400 --> 0:04:12.760 the offense do it. And and look, I was watching 0:04:12.800 --> 0:04:15.840 the highlights of the Cowboys Giants game and the fourth 0:04:15.920 --> 0:04:17.960 quarter that's everything the NFL is. 0:04:17.960 --> 0:04:19.720 You've got, you know, Russ. 0:04:19.440 --> 0:04:22.359 Wilson is is to elite neighbors and Dak leading. And 0:04:22.400 --> 0:04:25.240 then in the history of the tush push, not once 0:04:25.279 --> 0:04:27.760 have I ever seen it on Sports Center's top ten plays. 0:04:27.760 --> 0:04:28.400 I just haven't. 0:04:28.520 --> 0:04:32.120 It's just I don't know how these officials spot the 0:04:32.160 --> 0:04:36.320 ball in that scrum. I really don't. Now you have 0:04:36.400 --> 0:04:39.960 the overhead shot, but those the officials, they can't rely 0:04:40.080 --> 0:04:42.960 on that overhead camera shot. Can they just spot the ball. 0:04:43.360 --> 0:04:44.760 After the fact in review. 0:04:44.920 --> 0:04:47.600 Yes, But but you've got two officials that are down 0:04:47.640 --> 0:04:50.479 the line looking at it, and they're they're gonna they're 0:04:50.480 --> 0:04:52.440 gonna come in as the play, you know, as the 0:04:52.520 --> 0:04:55.880 as the pile kind of starts, and try to get 0:04:55.880 --> 0:04:58.320 a look at the football and quite frankly, look at 0:04:58.320 --> 0:05:00.479 the goal line mechanically. And this this has been the 0:05:00.520 --> 0:05:03.919 deal forever. If they don't see the football, they're not 0:05:03.960 --> 0:05:05.560 going to rule on it. They're going to go in 0:05:06.360 --> 0:05:08.720 dig in the pile. And if the ball is over 0:05:08.800 --> 0:05:11.039 the goal line at that point, that's a touchdown. And 0:05:11.080 --> 0:05:13.720 so that ball may have been short, but eventually it 0:05:13.760 --> 0:05:16.039 worked its way after the runner was on the ground 0:05:16.200 --> 0:05:17.000 over the goal line. 0:05:17.040 --> 0:05:19.760 So again, it's a tough play that's been look. 0:05:19.839 --> 0:05:22.760 Short yardage plays are tough sneaks, those types of things. 0:05:23.120 --> 0:05:24.960 But I think this play just kind of adds another 0:05:25.040 --> 0:05:25.640 layer to it. 0:05:25.680 --> 0:05:28.320 But Dean, I am shocked that the officials didn't convey 0:05:28.440 --> 0:05:31.799 this to the owners to say we're having a hard 0:05:31.839 --> 0:05:36.040 time officiating this. This is no bias against anybody. This 0:05:36.160 --> 0:05:39.200 is we're trying to do our job and we can't 0:05:39.240 --> 0:05:42.359 do our job given the context of this play. I 0:05:42.400 --> 0:05:44.720 don't know if that's enough of an out for the 0:05:44.839 --> 0:05:48.599 NFL and these owners this next go around. They it's 0:05:48.600 --> 0:05:51.400 not a pretty play. We know that if I can't 0:05:51.440 --> 0:05:54.880 spot the ball and do my job, then that factors 0:05:54.920 --> 0:05:58.200 in something else. They keep trying to say health. There's 0:05:58.200 --> 0:06:01.400 no data yet of injuries there. You can't say, hey, 0:06:01.480 --> 0:06:04.880 somebody's going to get hurt, which they probably will. But 0:06:05.120 --> 0:06:08.239 you got to say, hey, guys, esthetically, it's not pleasing 0:06:08.320 --> 0:06:10.720 and we can't do our job. Is that enough to 0:06:10.839 --> 0:06:12.440 have them get rid of this play? 0:06:13.000 --> 0:06:15.200 It should be when you think about like I said, 0:06:15.279 --> 0:06:18.000 it's not when we think offense, defensive balance, it's not 0:06:18.040 --> 0:06:21.200 a fair play when you do have the difficulty in officiating, 0:06:21.400 --> 0:06:23.640 and that's when you look at rules changes, you look 0:06:23.640 --> 0:06:26.440 at player safety, you look at competitive equity, and you 0:06:26.440 --> 0:06:30.200 look at officiating consistency. And if you can't consistently officiate this, 0:06:31.040 --> 0:06:31.839 it's a problem. 0:06:31.920 --> 0:06:32.760 I think everybody. 0:06:32.920 --> 0:06:35.800 Look, they were two votes short of getting it out. 0:06:35.839 --> 0:06:38.360 I think everybody had Each club had its own reasons. 0:06:38.800 --> 0:06:42.039 I do believe because the Eagles won the Super Bowl, 0:06:42.080 --> 0:06:44.800 there were some teams that didn't want to come across 0:06:45.400 --> 0:06:47.680 is we can't stop this play. We're going to take 0:06:47.720 --> 0:06:50.000 the easy route and we're going to vote it out. 0:06:50.160 --> 0:06:52.000 I think if they don't win the Super Bowl and 0:06:52.080 --> 0:06:54.440 we still have issues with this play, there's probably a 0:06:54.480 --> 0:06:55.919 better chance that it goes away. 0:06:56.760 --> 0:06:59.200 Talking to Dean Blandino, he used to be the head 0:06:59.200 --> 0:07:02.600 of officials for the NFL. He doesn't need that headache anymore. 0:07:02.960 --> 0:07:07.400 Fox Sports, NFL college football rules analysts, even the neutral 0:07:07.520 --> 0:07:11.600 zone like it seems like there's there's an infraction on 0:07:11.720 --> 0:07:14.640 every one of these toush pushes. And I don't the 0:07:14.720 --> 0:07:19.360 Eagles would still be successful. They would with with Jalen Hurts. 0:07:19.560 --> 0:07:23.120 You don't need somebody pushing from behind. You can still 0:07:23.400 --> 0:07:26.760 call it a quarterback sneak. I just can't have somebody 0:07:26.800 --> 0:07:30.200 pushing from behind. That just seems you want to think 0:07:30.200 --> 0:07:32.920 about an injury. You could have an injury with your 0:07:33.000 --> 0:07:36.120 quarterback being pushed from behind. Jamin Is you know head 0:07:36.160 --> 0:07:36.800 in there. 0:07:36.840 --> 0:07:37.000 But. 0:07:38.920 --> 0:07:41.040 No question and look, and I agree with you. 0:07:41.080 --> 0:07:44.120 And I was talking to somebody yesterday at one of 0:07:44.160 --> 0:07:46.880 the clubs, and I think the Eagles would be successful 0:07:46.920 --> 0:07:47.680 on QB sneaks. 0:07:47.720 --> 0:07:48.480 QB sneaks. 0:07:49.440 --> 0:07:51.760 You know, that's a high percentage play when it's third 0:07:51.800 --> 0:07:54.720 and one, fourth and one, So they would be successful. 0:07:55.200 --> 0:07:57.480 And that's why I don't think this needs It was 0:07:57.520 --> 0:08:00.480 illegal forever. I don't know why we need to keep 0:08:00.520 --> 0:08:02.720 this push. We don't let the defense do it. 0:08:03.040 --> 0:08:04.400 Why are we letting the offense do it? 0:08:04.760 --> 0:08:07.800 Point of emphasis with taunting this year? How did this 0:08:07.840 --> 0:08:08.360 come about? 0:08:09.600 --> 0:08:12.480 I think the league the data that they presented in 0:08:12.560 --> 0:08:16.120 the off season, and how they quantify this, I don't know. 0:08:16.200 --> 0:08:19.440 But they said, okay, they said they said taunting was 0:08:19.520 --> 0:08:24.880 up like fifty percent. Violent gestures, sexually suggestive, those types 0:08:24.920 --> 0:08:26.680 of things that are in bad taste were up. 0:08:26.720 --> 0:08:28.400 Oh, I mean it was like one hundred and thirty 0:08:28.400 --> 0:08:29.800 percent whatever the number was. 0:08:30.200 --> 0:08:32.480 So they've obviously looked at film and they felt, okay, 0:08:32.720 --> 0:08:37.439 identified these actions and they want to emphasize it because 0:08:37.440 --> 0:08:40.840 it it does look sportsmanship is important, it's something you 0:08:40.840 --> 0:08:43.440 know it. Trey has that trickle down effect. Kids are 0:08:43.480 --> 0:08:45.920 watching those types of things and you saw it. I 0:08:45.920 --> 0:08:47.480 mean there was a big play in that in that 0:08:47.600 --> 0:08:50.440 Dallas Giants scheme where where you had three fouls on 0:08:50.480 --> 0:08:53.840 the Giants, three fouls and CD Lamb gets up and 0:08:53.880 --> 0:08:56.600 gets a taunt and it all offset. So it's a 0:08:56.640 --> 0:08:59.200 big penalty and this is going to be a major deal. 0:08:59.400 --> 0:09:02.240 You know, as long as this emphasis is in place. 0:09:02.360 --> 0:09:05.560 And protecting quarterbacks, has anything changed. 0:09:06.360 --> 0:09:11.360 Nothing's changed. I think we've gone again player safety. Health 0:09:11.400 --> 0:09:14.080 and safety is the top priority. I think we've gone 0:09:14.240 --> 0:09:17.880 a little too far with some of these hits. I 0:09:17.880 --> 0:09:21.640 think the quarterback position obviously, it's you're in a defenseless 0:09:21.640 --> 0:09:24.200 posture when you're in that passing posture and your focus 0:09:24.240 --> 0:09:28.360 is downfield. So yeah, the headneck area, those types of things, 0:09:28.400 --> 0:09:31.160 the late hits, I do think we've you know, we 0:09:31.280 --> 0:09:33.959 see some of these hits where it's just a defensive player, 0:09:34.040 --> 0:09:36.959 especially a big defensive lineman, you know, fighting through blocks 0:09:36.960 --> 0:09:39.920 and making a tackle and just happens to land the 0:09:39.960 --> 0:09:43.160 wrong way and it's fifteen yards. I think that's tough. 0:09:43.440 --> 0:09:46.640 But that's not going away that you listed all these 0:09:46.679 --> 0:09:49.840 injuries that we have in this league, right, we need 0:09:49.880 --> 0:09:52.200 the Joe Burrows, we need the Jayden Daniels and so 0:09:52.240 --> 0:09:53.600 they're going to protect that position. 0:09:54.520 --> 0:09:57.760 What about listening in on replay? We've seen this with 0:09:57.800 --> 0:10:02.160 the acc I've been saying for years, I think with gambling, 0:10:02.200 --> 0:10:05.040 with total transparency, and I don't know if that's enough 0:10:05.360 --> 0:10:07.480 that the NFL or the officials are going to say, yeah, 0:10:07.520 --> 0:10:10.360 come on in and listen. But boy'd be entertaining. 0:10:10.880 --> 0:10:13.280 What do you think would definitely be entertaining because I've 0:10:13.320 --> 0:10:15.280 been involved in a lot of discussions where if that 0:10:15.360 --> 0:10:19.760 went out publicly, people, we definitely definitely. 0:10:19.360 --> 0:10:21.320 You know, get a chuckle out of it. Look, I 0:10:21.320 --> 0:10:22.440 think can you. 0:10:22.320 --> 0:10:22.680 Give me it? 0:10:22.720 --> 0:10:24.960 For instance, though without names. 0:10:25.520 --> 0:10:29.160 No, I'll I'll look. I was involved in a very 0:10:29.200 --> 0:10:30.240 controversial play. 0:10:30.320 --> 0:10:32.480 You might have heard of it, the des Bryant play, 0:10:32.840 --> 0:10:34.840 you know, Packers Cowboys. 0:10:34.520 --> 0:10:36.520 Should have been a touchdown by the way. 0:10:36.760 --> 0:10:40.600 Yeah, there you go. So the play happens that we 0:10:40.679 --> 0:10:41.360 see it happen. 0:10:41.520 --> 0:10:44.760 I'm watching, you know, Mike mccartheugh's coaching the Packers at 0:10:44.760 --> 0:10:46.800 the time, and in my head, I'm going, he's going 0:10:46.880 --> 0:10:47.959 to throw the challenge flag. 0:10:47.960 --> 0:10:49.559 He's going to throw the challenge back. And as soon 0:10:49.600 --> 0:10:52.560 as it came out, I said to the room. Get 0:10:52.600 --> 0:10:53.160 ready the. 0:10:53.280 --> 0:10:55.280 S h I T is about to hit the fan 0:10:55.360 --> 0:10:58.840 because I knew it was going to be controversial either way, right, So, 0:10:58.840 --> 0:11:02.240 so those conversations and I think it's it's it's two sides. 0:11:02.280 --> 0:11:04.840 I think transparency is so important, like you said, because 0:11:04.840 --> 0:11:08.000 if you can just listen in, it eliminates any of 0:11:08.040 --> 0:11:12.000 the conspiracy. Right now, it might it might be like, Wow, 0:11:12.040 --> 0:11:13.600 those guys don't know what they're doing. 0:11:13.760 --> 0:11:16.160 You know, it might go from conspiracy to competence. You 0:11:16.200 --> 0:11:18.440 don't want that, but but it. 0:11:18.400 --> 0:11:22.080 Definitely would eliminate some of that, some of that hey, 0:11:22.160 --> 0:11:23.280 what what are they doing? 0:11:23.440 --> 0:11:25.000 We we just don't get it. 0:11:25.240 --> 0:11:27.160 If you had it, I'll give you a do over 0:11:27.280 --> 0:11:29.160 with Dez Bryant. 0:11:29.120 --> 0:11:31.400 Under the current rule. Now, that was the that was 0:11:31.440 --> 0:11:35.200 the rule. That was an easy one. Today it's a catch, 0:11:35.240 --> 0:11:37.319 and I get it. I understand why people would have 0:11:37.320 --> 0:11:40.080 thought that that was a catch. It was a layup, 0:11:40.200 --> 0:11:40.880 damn come. 0:11:40.679 --> 0:11:47.000 On, stupid rule. Right, well, it. 0:11:47.080 --> 0:11:49.760 Was a I think the catch rule. 0:11:49.920 --> 0:11:52.440 I think the problem we ran into is that forever 0:11:52.720 --> 0:11:55.360 before replay, the catch rule was written so the on 0:11:55.520 --> 0:11:57.800 field officials could make that call in real time, right, 0:11:58.080 --> 0:11:59.080 they can't slow it up. 0:11:59.200 --> 0:11:59.640 They can't. 0:11:59.800 --> 0:12:02.440 So that was the rule and that's why, you know, 0:12:02.480 --> 0:12:04.000 hold on to it when you hit the ground was 0:12:04.040 --> 0:12:06.760 a thing. But now we have replay, it changes how 0:12:06.800 --> 0:12:07.880 we can look at these things. 0:12:08.480 --> 0:12:10.280 Are officials allowed to be out of shape? 0:12:11.679 --> 0:12:14.080 There shouldn't be? That's that's I mean. 0:12:14.040 --> 0:12:17.120 It feels like there's a workout program here that like 0:12:17.160 --> 0:12:19.000 the ED Hockey League propars. 0:12:19.160 --> 0:12:22.240 Definitely it has been, and I think we just know more. 0:12:22.400 --> 0:12:24.360 Look when I first started at the league office, and 0:12:24.360 --> 0:12:25.720 I don't know if I've ever told you this, but 0:12:26.400 --> 0:12:31.360 ninety five my first officiating clinic, the physical test that 0:12:31.400 --> 0:12:35.960 they had to pass to be an official at that 0:12:36.080 --> 0:12:40.880 clinic was walk a mile, not even times, just not die. 0:12:42.080 --> 0:12:45.280 And now it's much much more stringent. 0:12:45.480 --> 0:12:47.640 Do you have a combine for officials? 0:12:48.000 --> 0:12:49.160 They do? They do. 0:12:49.280 --> 0:12:52.439 They have a They have a group that comes in 0:12:52.679 --> 0:12:56.000 and you know, strength and conditioning and works with them 0:12:56.040 --> 0:12:57.959 and and and you know, and Ed. 0:12:58.120 --> 0:12:59.920 I think Ed might actually. 0:12:59.600 --> 0:13:02.439 Do like his own combine where it's just it's just arms, 0:13:02.679 --> 0:13:05.440 you know, it's it's arm dead every day. 0:13:05.800 --> 0:13:08.000 It was great to talk to you. Thank you day. 0:13:08.000 --> 0:13:08.400 All right. 0:13:08.480 --> 0:13:12.360 That's Dean Blandino, Fox Sports, NFL College football rules analyst, 0:13:12.760 --> 0:13:16.079 former VP of officiating. All Right, guys, we got to 0:13:16.160 --> 0:13:18.640 walk a mile. You don't have to run, not gonna 0:13:18.679 --> 0:13:21.640 be timed. Just make sure you finish up and don't die. 0:13:21.840 --> 0:13:25.720 All right, you can be an NFL official. You're in shape. 0:13:26.280 --> 0:13:26.400 Uh. 0:13:26.640 --> 0:13:30.840 That's good stuff from him. Good stuff, Rick and Florida. Hi, Rick, 0:13:30.880 --> 0:13:32.920 what's on your mind today? 0:13:33.080 --> 0:13:37.320 So when I saw that snippet about Kurt Warner and 0:13:37.360 --> 0:13:41.720 how they are Patriots intentionally with defending him, I believe 0:13:41.840 --> 0:13:46.800 similar coaching is going on the NFL, especially with past interference. 0:13:47.920 --> 0:13:51.160 The offense has so much edge, and I think they're 0:13:51.200 --> 0:13:56.560 coaching the defensive backs hold that arm, to wrap that 0:13:56.800 --> 0:14:01.280 arm around and make them make the cold Because I 0:14:01.480 --> 0:14:05.679 see so much illegal contact after the five yards and 0:14:05.880 --> 0:14:09.200 pass interference and have been watching football sixty five years, 0:14:09.800 --> 0:14:12.040 I believe they need to go back to have the 0:14:12.040 --> 0:14:16.280 coaches replay, have a few selections if they can replay 0:14:16.600 --> 0:14:19.880 a penalty that is not called. And the second point Dan, 0:14:20.440 --> 0:14:22.880 I think to count to that is why aren't the 0:14:22.960 --> 0:14:25.400 other teams doing what the Eagles are doing? Is it 0:14:25.560 --> 0:14:28.400 just because the Eagles happen to have Jalen Hurts who 0:14:28.440 --> 0:14:30.200 can bench press six hundred pounds. 0:14:30.360 --> 0:14:33.360 No, he can squat six hundred pounds. And they have 0:14:33.600 --> 0:14:37.040 a great offensive line, and they have a quarterback who 0:14:37.120 --> 0:14:41.520 is stronger than any other quarterback with his legs. I'd 0:14:41.520 --> 0:14:44.200 love to see him in Saquon Barkley have a squad 0:14:44.240 --> 0:14:48.720 off or deadlift because they would probably that'd be a 0:14:48.720 --> 0:14:52.640 pretty good showdown there. They would still be successful if 0:14:52.680 --> 0:14:57.480 you don't need to have somebody behind Jalen Hurts. I 0:14:57.480 --> 0:15:00.560 don't know if this is around next year, but Dean 0:15:00.600 --> 0:15:04.200 brought up a very good point. They won the Super Bowl. 0:15:04.360 --> 0:15:07.280 It doesn't You don't want to seem like sour grapes. 0:15:07.280 --> 0:15:09.600 We couldn't stop them. They won a Super Bowl, and 0:15:09.640 --> 0:15:11.560 if the Eagles don't win a Super Bowl this year, 0:15:12.160 --> 0:15:14.800 maybe that would open the door to get rid of 0:15:14.800 --> 0:15:18.640 the tush push. When we come back, we pay tribute 0:15:18.720 --> 0:15:21.120 to Robert Redford who passed away at the age of 0:15:21.280 --> 0:15:26.440 eighty nine. Great actor, a great director as well. More 0:15:26.480 --> 0:15:29.320 of your phone calls as well, and a QB question 0:15:29.640 --> 0:15:31.920 for the room. We'll take a break.

Quite a life 0:16:19.840 --> 0:16:22.800 and leading man. He was in a lot of movies. 0:16:23.080 --> 0:16:26.560 He was also a director on some big movies as well, 0:16:27.520 --> 0:16:31.880 and Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid, The Sting. I mean, 0:16:31.880 --> 0:16:34.800 there's a variety of movies that Redford was in, but 0:16:34.880 --> 0:16:40.640 also became a famous director and really a remarkable, remarkable career, 0:16:41.400 --> 0:16:46.520 very very big on conservation throughout his life. Sundance Film 0:16:46.560 --> 0:16:49.920 Festival that was started by him as well. Don't think 0:16:49.960 --> 0:16:53.720 I ever met him. I don't think we ever had 0:16:53.800 --> 0:16:58.120 him on either, but I know later in his life 0:16:58.200 --> 0:17:01.640 he talked about how he was the leading man, you 0:17:01.720 --> 0:17:04.119 were the good looking guy, and he was trying to 0:17:04.119 --> 0:17:08.160 get out of that, and you know, it sounds weird 0:17:08.240 --> 0:17:09.600 to be I don't want to be a leading man. 0:17:09.680 --> 0:17:11.160 But I think he wanted to get out of the 0:17:11.400 --> 0:17:15.520 pretty boy. But I don't as much as you want 0:17:15.560 --> 0:17:17.480 to try, he wasn't able to get out of that. 0:17:18.200 --> 0:17:20.960 Poor guy, can't get out of this damn good looking 0:17:21.040 --> 0:17:21.680 leading man. 0:17:22.080 --> 0:17:24.800 Yes, PAULI imagine having that as your main problem life, 0:17:24.880 --> 0:17:27.280 being too good looking. Yeah, because there was a point 0:17:27.280 --> 0:17:29.640 where he was the one seed for good looking guys 0:17:29.640 --> 0:17:31.680 in America. Yeah, I mean a long run. 0:17:31.720 --> 0:17:34.359 And then you put him with Paul Newman and they 0:17:34.359 --> 0:17:37.679 were in a couple of movies. Butch Cassidy and certainly 0:17:37.720 --> 0:17:41.600 The Sting. I love the Sting. It's still great, All 0:17:41.680 --> 0:17:46.560 the President's Men. He also directed Ordinary People River Runs 0:17:46.600 --> 0:17:50.920 through it as well. At eighty nine years of age, 0:17:51.400 --> 0:17:56.840 pretty good, Pretty good. He went to play baseball at 0:17:56.840 --> 0:18:01.800 Colorado and his mom died. I think she was around 0:18:01.800 --> 0:18:06.720 forty when he was going to go play baseball, started drinking, 0:18:07.080 --> 0:18:10.240 got kicked out of school, lost his scholarship, and then 0:18:10.480 --> 0:18:12.919 he kind of had to start figuring out what he 0:18:13.040 --> 0:18:16.560 was going to do for his career and ended up 0:18:16.600 --> 0:18:21.640 taking theater lessons in New York City, and I love that. 0:18:21.760 --> 0:18:25.280 He bought a piece of property, two acres of land 0:18:25.320 --> 0:18:27.720 for five hundred dollars, built a cabin in Utah in 0:18:27.800 --> 0:18:30.920 nineteen sixty one, and that's where he kind of started 0:18:30.920 --> 0:18:35.680 his love affair with that state. But Butch Cassidy and 0:18:35.720 --> 0:18:40.760 The Sundance Kid and The Sting, and Radford said that 0:18:40.840 --> 0:18:45.240 he really owed Paul Newman because he helped him get 0:18:45.280 --> 0:18:50.040 the role in Butch Cassidy and Sundance Kid and the 0:18:50.080 --> 0:18:53.520 Sting too in nineteen seventy three, won the Academy Award 0:18:53.560 --> 0:18:56.160 for Best Picture. He was also in The Way We Were, 0:18:56.760 --> 0:19:01.760 Barbara Streissan, The Great Gatsby and Dustin Hoffman and All 0:19:01.840 --> 0:19:04.240 the President's Men, which was about Watergate. 0:19:05.440 --> 0:19:07.440 Yes, Pauling and the great sports movie. 0:19:07.480 --> 0:19:10.000 The Natural came out in nineteen eighty four, and it 0:19:10.080 --> 0:19:13.560 was a very controversial decision at the time. He played 0:19:13.600 --> 0:19:16.080 both himself as the older Roy Haws, but he played 0:19:16.160 --> 0:19:19.199 himself at eighteen years old in the movie, which is 0:19:19.320 --> 0:19:22.320 very in Glenn Close did it as well. They're twice 0:19:22.359 --> 0:19:25.280 that age, more than twice that age. So the earlier scenes. 0:19:25.000 --> 0:19:27.960 Of the movie, how old was he when he filmed 0:19:27.960 --> 0:19:31.000 The Natural? Yeah, forty he died. 0:19:31.480 --> 0:19:33.760 He would have been about forty five years old when 0:19:33.800 --> 0:19:35.560 he filmed The Natural, and he's playing himself as a 0:19:35.600 --> 0:19:36.440 senior in high school. 0:19:36.480 --> 0:19:37.880 Yeah. 0:19:37.960 --> 0:19:43.000 I wasn't big on that movie, but I understand why people. 0:19:43.200 --> 0:19:45.760 Robert Duval to me was great in that movie as 0:19:45.800 --> 0:19:50.560 the sports writer, the columnist. But Glenn Close, all right, 0:19:51.640 --> 0:19:59.639 But who was the the cocoon demanded Wilfrid Brimley. Wilford 0:19:59.640 --> 0:20:01.080 Brimley Lean for QUAKEERU. 0:20:01.280 --> 0:20:02.000 He was like thirty one? 0:20:02.200 --> 0:20:02.600 He was. 0:20:03.160 --> 0:20:09.280 He looked the same. He always looked old always. But uh, 0:20:09.359 --> 0:20:12.600 Robert Redford that at the age of eighty nine. I'll 0:20:12.640 --> 0:20:13.680
