Speaker 1: Here we go.

2
00:00:01,680 --> 00:00:06,520
Speaker 2: It's our number two, our number two? How do you

3
00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:09,639
Speaker 2: do in our number two? So the AFC title game?

4
00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:12,040
Speaker 2: The focus here on the Ben Mather Show. What is

5
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:15,600
Speaker 2: your rate on Sean Payton saying that the Broncos had

6
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:19,960
Speaker 2: momentum to justify his decision to pass up points early

7
00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:23,640
Speaker 2: when the Broncos could have gone up by two scores

8
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:26,880
Speaker 2: they would not score again. Will analyze that coaching decision

9
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:30,920
Speaker 2: by Sean Payton. Also, how do you grade quarterback Drake

10
00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:34,839
Speaker 2: May's play on this Patriot Super Bowl run? Not exactly

11
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:39,120
Speaker 2: an obstacle course? And does the Patriots defensive tackle Milton

12
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:42,440
Speaker 2: Williams saying everybody doubted us?

13
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:46,640

53
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:17,079
Speaker 2: our lead this hour is from Denver. The AFC side

54
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:21,359
Speaker 2: early game talked earlier about the Seahawks and the Rams

55
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,360
Speaker 2: as Seattle that gets a gift the muffed punt by

56
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 2: the Rams sending Seattle to the Super Bowl.

57
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 1: You're welcome.

58
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:31,639
Speaker 2: You're welcome now in Denver, Drake May and the Patriots

59
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 2: entered as the biggest road favorite in the history of

60
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 2: Championship Sunday in the NFL because the Broncos were going

61
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 2: with their backup quarterback Jared Stidham. So has never seen

62
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 2: a team favored by more on the road than the

63
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 2: New England Patriots. The game played in the first half

64
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 2: in good conditions and then by late third quarter. It

65
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 2: was a snow globe game in the third, late part

66
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 2: of the third quarter and the fourth cour so I

67
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 2: don't know if you saw this or not. It made

68
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 2: for compelling television late in the game. It was not

69
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 2: the most aesthetically pleasing matchup in the world. Maybe not though,

70
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 2: but in the frigid, snow swirling AFC Championship game there

71
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 2: at Mile High, Mike Vrabel coach the Patriots to survive

72
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:23,040
Speaker 2: and advance as they get it done with their defense.

73
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:27,160
Speaker 2: They win a slugfest over the Broncos, where nobody played

74
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 2: well at the quarterback position, although you wouldn't know that

75
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:34,279
Speaker 2: from the media giving tongue bash to Drake May. Ten

76
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 2: to seven the final, ten to seven the final, as

77
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 2: the Patriots win and advance with the snow building up

78
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:44,720
Speaker 2: as the game progressed in the second half, their New

79
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:47,920
Speaker 2: England getting it tone with their defense in this particular game.

80
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 2: So they're on to Super Bowl sixty where they will

81
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:53,359
Speaker 2: take the Seattle Seahawks on That'll be coming up a

82
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:57,280
Speaker 2: week from this Sunday, so almost two full weeks.

83
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 1: To go here. As this is early on a Monday.

84
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 2: Rake May did score the Patriots only touchdown a six

85
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 2: yard scamper. I like the word scamper. You don't use

86
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:11,600
Speaker 2: the word scamper much other than football scamper. Scampered Hi

87
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 2: late second quarter there for the Patriots. So that was

88
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 2: the only score of the game in terms of the touchdown.

89
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:19,160
Speaker 2: The better story is in the losing locker room. A

90
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:21,799
Speaker 2: lot of people up in arms in the post mortem

91
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:27,280
Speaker 2: at Broncos coach Sean Payton, who's getting cooked for his

92
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:32,720
Speaker 2: decision to go for it rather than kick it. And

93
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:34,360
Speaker 2: if you didn't see it, let me set the game up.

94
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:39,039
Speaker 2: So the Broncos got an early touchdown. Lightning struck early,

95
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 2: so the Broncos had a seven nothing lead all the

96
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:42,159
Speaker 2: way into the second quarter.

97
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 1: Was seven nothing Broncos.

98
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 2: Early in the second quarter, Jared Stidham and the Broncos

99
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 2: offense was they were right there, set up deep in

100
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 2: Patriot territory for a chip shot field goal. It was

101
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 2: fourth down and Sean Payton said, no, no, no, I'm.

102
00:05:57,800 --> 00:05:58,600
Speaker 1: Gonna go for it.

103
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:01,159
Speaker 2: I we should go for it rather than kick a

104
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 2: field goal go up by two scores.

105
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 1: He said no.

106
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 2: So Peyton deciding to not send out the field goal

107
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 2: unit and send the offense back out fourth down and

108
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 2: one and from the fourteen yard line. How did that

109
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:20,039
Speaker 2: turn out? Yeah, the Broncos rolled out here at Stidham

110
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 2: on a pass play and he was pressured and it

111
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 2: fell harmlessly incomplete.

112
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 1: That's it. That's all. See you later. Denver did not

113
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 1: score again. That was it. He did not score the

114
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:35,480
Speaker 1: rest of the game.

115
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:39,480
Speaker 2: That when asked why he didn't just take the points, right,

116
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 2: just take the points, go up by two scores. You've

117
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 2: got your backup quarterback who sucks in the game, Peyton, Well,

118
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:48,479
Speaker 2: he got defensive.

119
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 1: Is what he got. Do we have the audio? Here's

120
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:51,480
Speaker 1: a Sean Payton take a list.

121
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:56,280
Speaker 3: Just felt like, man, we had momentum, momentum, momentum. You

122
00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 3: got up fourteen and felt like we had a good

123
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:04,159
Speaker 3: call at yard line wise there, Yeah, I think I

124
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 3: think the feeling was, man, let's let's be aggressive to

125
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 3: get up fourteen. I was just watching the way our

126
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 3: defense was playing.

127
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, so let us discuss. That's a good

128
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 2: jumping off point. The question, what is your read on

129
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 2: what you just heard Sean Payton saying the Broncos had momentum, momentum.

130
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 2: The Broncos had momentum. To justify his decision to pass

131
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:31,320
Speaker 2: up a chip shot field goal and go up by

132
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 2: a touchdown and a field goal. So my observations, I

133
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 2: have cross examination, Paris and police, and we will combine

134
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 2: all of these things together.

135
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 1: One, two, and three. We're gonna play Connect three. We're

136
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 1: gonna play Connect three.

137
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:53,840
Speaker 2: So number wa number. So when I heard Sean Payton's response,

138
00:07:53,920 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 2: I knew one one word applies here. Buffoonery. Buffoonery. Sean

139
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 2: Payton knows he made the wrong decision. How do I

140
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 2: know that? He said momentum? He said momentum. He doesn't

141
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 2: believe that he knows that. Just get out of jee

142
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 2: free card because stupid people love momentum. Dumb people love momentum.

143
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 2: They can't get enough of it. They want it.

144
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 1: Oh, I need my momentum. It's ridiculous.

145
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 2: Sean Payton screwed up. He did the thing you can't

146
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 2: do at the time, you can't do it, and then

147
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:29,119
Speaker 2: he uses the momentum card from the bottom of the deck.

148
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:34,319
Speaker 1: Momentum is the adult version of a boogeyman. You know

149
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:35,520
Speaker 1: you're a kid. I can't have.

150
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:39,200
Speaker 2: The Boogeyman's under my bed, the Boogeyman's in my closet.

151
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:44,840
Speaker 2: If you're an NFL coach, the boogeyman momentum, Oh, it's momentum.

152
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 1: Come on.

153
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:49,320
Speaker 2: It only exists, of course, to help you, help you

154
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 2: explain why you made a dumb decision. In this case,

155
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:58,720
Speaker 2: Sean Payton leaned in to momentum on cross examination. On

156
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 2: cross examination, momentum has the structural integrity of a wet

157
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 2: cardboard box, is what it's got. Okay, playing a backup

158
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:12,600
Speaker 2: quarterback who has proven he's no good and you got

159
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:15,319
Speaker 2: points right there. You already got that Fluke Eurly touchdown,

160
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 2: so you got to touchdown in your back pocket the

161
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 2: field goal.

162
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 1: Drake May, I don't even notice.

163
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:26,280
Speaker 2: He was pooping his pants in that game for the Patriots,

164
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 2: So the Broncos defense was man handling Drake May. You

165
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 2: go up by two scores, and you increase the degree

166
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 2: of difficulty for the Patriots offense in that case, and

167
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 2: so chip shot field goal, take the points. And no,

168
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna take the points. Why would I do that?

169
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:45,959
Speaker 3: No?

170
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:48,559
Speaker 2: No, Why would I squeeze the air a little more

171
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:51,679
Speaker 2: air out of the Patriots' sideline and give Drake May

172
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:54,440
Speaker 2: a tighter spinter? If I'm Sean Payton, why would I

173
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 2: do that? No, Instead, Sean Payton trusted his backup suck

174
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:02,320
Speaker 2: back quarterback in Jared's like he was prime Drew Brees.

175
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 2: Does Sean Payton know that that was not prime Drew

176
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 2: Brees while he does now? And shocker of shocker, Jared

177
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:12,840
Speaker 2: Sidham did what Jared Sidham is supposed to do. He

178
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 2: did a face plant right there. The moment was too big.

179
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:19,319
Speaker 2: And you toss in the fact that they knew the forecast.

180
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:22,199
Speaker 2: Now you didn't change We did Benny versus the Penny

181
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:24,559
Speaker 2: in the middle of the week. The forecast was much different,

182
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 2: and so we did not know at the time we

183
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 2: did that that there would be blizzard like conditions in Denver.

184
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 2: We knew there was a big storm coming across the country,

185
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 2: but not necessarily for the Bronco game. That changed. The

186
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:40,480
Speaker 2: weather pattern changed, So you know that going in And

187
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 2: what this means Sean Payton guilty of coaching malpractice in

188
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:50,319
Speaker 2: this game. For the Broncos fourth down failure. You had

189
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 2: the clown car fumble. That's a whole different can of worms.

190
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 2: The fumble by Stidham. Was it a forward pass? Was

191
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 2: it not a forward pass? That was the twelve yard

192
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 2: line would you give wrapped things for the Patriots in

193
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:06,680
Speaker 2: that case? Now, most games are lost, not one. That's

194
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 2: always the way it is. It is always the way

195
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:11,959
Speaker 2: it will be as long as human beings are involved.

196
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 2: Most games are lost, they're not one. So there is

197
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:18,280
Speaker 2: that in this case, though it was the pure hubris

198
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:24,239
Speaker 2: of Sean Payton. I don't the circus of the officiating

199
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 2: is one thing. Did anyone think that Jene Sterotur did

200
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:29,520
Speaker 2: a good.

201
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:30,000
Speaker 1: Job on that?

202
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:32,840
Speaker 2: By the way, did anyone notice this was like comedy

203
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 2: gold They should do a bit about this. I don't

204
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 2: watch Saturday Night Live anymore. I hadn't been funny in years.

205
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 2: But they used to do shows like that and be

206
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:44,600
Speaker 2: a great comedy bit. Because the rules analyst Jeane Sterotor,

207
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:47,200
Speaker 2: if you were paying attention, So Jeane Sterotor comes on there,

208
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:51,560
Speaker 2: and he changed his mind faster than a politician in

209
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:54,920
Speaker 2: an election year. He was like a member of Congress

210
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:59,320
Speaker 2: trying to get reelection. Jean Sterotor. So initially the call

211
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:03,080
Speaker 2: was forward pass on the field, right, So Jean's terrator said,

212
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:05,160
Speaker 2: well that was the right call, forward pass on the field.

213
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:05,800
Speaker 1: They got it right?

214
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 2: No, wait, no, no, wait a minute, it was it

215
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:09,439
Speaker 2: was backwards.

216
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:10,080
Speaker 4: Yeah.

217
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:14,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, Jeane's territor flip flopped. He did the old flip

218
00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 2: flop right there. Amazing flexibility by the rules analysts there

219
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:23,199
Speaker 2: Jeene's sterotor. And if you haven't learned by now having

220
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:28,319
Speaker 2: watched these rules analysts there, they hate calling out their buddies.

221
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:31,560
Speaker 2: Whatever the call is. They agree with the officials. They

222
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:34,320
Speaker 2: do not want to go against the officials. It's part

223
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:39,120
Speaker 2: of the orthodoxy of the Zebra culture. And so, just

224
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 2: for the record, by the way, Sean Payton, momentum did

225
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 2: not did not infect the Broncos in this game. That's

226
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,400
Speaker 2: not They didn't lose the game because they lost momentum.

227
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:51,680
Speaker 2: They lost the game because you didn't kick the field goal.

228
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 2: Oh my god, the arrogance, the arrogance of Sean Payton. Now, meanwhile,

229
00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 2: turning the page to the Patriots side of things, law

230
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 2: of glowing words being said about Drake May and the

231
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:06,240
Speaker 2: Patriots as they are in the Super Bowl to take

232
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:11,000
Speaker 2: on the Seahawks Super Bowl sixty from Northern California. So

233
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 2: the question is, how did you grade Drake May's play?

234
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:20,439
Speaker 2: As the Patriots have now gone on a Super Bowl run.

235
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:21,560
Speaker 1: They've gone on.

236
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 2: The Super Bowl run the Patriots are there one win

237
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 2: away from getting another Lombardi Trophy. So how did you

238
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:29,320
Speaker 2: grade Drake May in this postseason run up until this

239
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:32,720
Speaker 2: point for the new and the Patriots. So May has

240
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 2: been he's not been the pace card. Like there's this

241
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 2: idea he's the quarterback, so he's the engine.

242
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 1: He's really not.

243
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 2: It's really not the engine for the Patriots. Despite the

244
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:48,480
Speaker 2: Patriots success. If you look at the Malo scorecard, you've

245
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 2: got not an a, not a be. I wouldn't even

246
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:53,320
Speaker 2: give Drake May a C. I wrote down on my

247
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:56,040
Speaker 2: scorecard for Drake May and this playoff run for the Patriots,

248
00:13:56,440 --> 00:14:01,520
Speaker 2: I wrote down A you for unremarkable, Capitol you unremarkable

249
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 2: for Drake May. It's working, which is great. Although they

250
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 2: got to get more out of this guy. They got

251
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 2: to get more out of this guy. That Seatles defense

252
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:13,960
Speaker 2: fortunately is overrated. As we saw, the Rams lit him up,

253
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:16,000
Speaker 2: and so Drake May will be. There will be opportunities,

254
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 2: assuming he doesn't suffer from tight Tuker syndrome in the

255
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:22,320
Speaker 2: Super Bowl, to make some plays there. He has not

256
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 2: been the man to lead the way for the New

257
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 2: Eland Patriots, despite what you might have heard or read online.

258
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:31,080
Speaker 2: It is not the case, so I wrote again unremarkable

259
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:35,480
Speaker 2: as the grade for Drake May. The Patriots offense stuck

260
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:40,360
Speaker 2: in wet cement and just kind of stuck there against

261
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 2: Denver for much of the days. Well, the blizzard conditions.

262
00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:46,720
Speaker 2: That's why it's the weather. Blaming on the weather, and

263
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:51,240
Speaker 2: the snow excuse is a popular excuse. There's one problem

264
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:54,800
Speaker 2: with the snow excuse is that the weather was fine

265
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:56,720
Speaker 2: in the first half of the game, and Drake May

266
00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:59,360
Speaker 2: was not fine. In the first half, May had a

267
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:03,640
Speaker 2: passery below sixty and the Patriots offense only had four

268
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:06,000
Speaker 2: first downs in the first half. That was a complete

269
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 2: lockdown by the Denver Broncos defensively in the first half

270
00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:13,360
Speaker 2: of that game. Patriots had seventy two yards of offense

271
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:16,440
Speaker 2: in the first thirty minutes of that game with Drake May. Now,

272
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:21,600
Speaker 2: May's signature play was the quarterback keeper. I would argue

273
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:25,240
Speaker 2: the twenty eight yard scamper another way to say the

274
00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:29,560
Speaker 2: word scramble scamper. But that turn that turned out to

275
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 2: be the winning field goal. That's set up what was

276
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 2: the winning field goal on that However, you are judged

277
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:36,960
Speaker 2: by your full body of work here and if you

278
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:40,400
Speaker 2: look at the overall picture in the playoffs, this continues

279
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:43,800
Speaker 2: to trend. Drake May has been a stumblebum for the

280
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:47,680
Speaker 2: Patriots and it hasn't mattered. It has not mattered. Here

281
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:52,160
Speaker 2: those negative plays, which are normally the telltale sign for quarterbacks.

282
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:58,120
Speaker 2: You combine interceptions incompletions, sacks and fumbles, those are bad plays.

283
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:02,080
Speaker 2: Drake May is averaging eighteen bad plays per game in

284
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:05,320
Speaker 2: this playoff run for the Patriots, nineteen negative plays per

285
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 2: game for Drake May, and they are one win away

286
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:11,160
Speaker 2: from winning the Super Bowl thanks to playing what we

287
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:15,320
Speaker 2: call the Paris Baguette schedule. A lot of croissants, a

288
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:17,440
Speaker 2: lot of croissants. And while Drake May does not go

289
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:20,720
Speaker 2: against the opposition quarterback, it does help when the opposing

290
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:24,880
Speaker 2: quarterback is Justin Herbert or C. J. Stroud or Jared Stidham,

291
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:29,480
Speaker 2: and they stink right, the Drake May Patriots have scored

292
00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:33,240
Speaker 2: only fifty four points in this playoff run. That doesn't

293
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 2: sound like a lot, right, That doesn't sound like that much? Well,

294
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:40,320
Speaker 2: didn't you know? Fun fact here? How bad is that?

295
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:42,000
Speaker 2: How bad is that for the Patriots?

296
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:42,640
Speaker 4: Matter?

297
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:43,560
Speaker 1: Fun fact?

298
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:46,400
Speaker 2: We are told that is the fewest points a team

299
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:50,760
Speaker 2: has scored playing three postseason games to make the Super

300
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 2: Bowl since Jimmy Carter was the president back in the

301
00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:57,680
Speaker 2: nineteen seventies.

302
00:16:57,720 --> 00:16:59,360
Speaker 1: The La Rams made it.

303
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 2: In nineteen seventy nine, and that's it, so my god.

304
00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:07,720
Speaker 2: It does help also that the posing quarterbacks are averaging

305
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:10,960
Speaker 2: twenty over twenty two negative plays, so they've been even

306
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:15,080
Speaker 2: worse than Drake May the collective of CJ. Stroud who

307
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:17,679
Speaker 2: had thirty negative plays in that game for the Texan

308
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:21,760
Speaker 2: thirty thirty negative players, Jared Stidham and of course Herbert.

309
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 2: So that's where we are right now.

310
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:23,760
Speaker 1: Now.

311
00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 2: Final point to the postgame commentary from Patriots defensive tacker

312
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:35,320
Speaker 2: tackle Milton Williams. Good old uncle Milt, Milton Williams who

313
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:38,720
Speaker 2: said the thing that we knew was going to be

314
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 2: said postgame. Milton Williams, defensive tackle for the women Patriots

315
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:44,159
Speaker 2: postgame team has wanted advance.

316
00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:45,320
Speaker 1: To the Super Bowl.

317
00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:50,080
Speaker 2: He said, everybody doubted us. That's what he said. Everybody

318
00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 2: doubted us. Does that work for you? Does that work

319
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:58,200
Speaker 2: for you? So it is predictable and silly. At the

320
00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:03,320
Speaker 2: same time, the Patriots did not overcome the odds. In fact,

321
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:07,240
Speaker 2: they failed to live up to the standard of the odds.

322
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 2: They were given the New England Patriots a police escort

323
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:16,280
Speaker 2: to the promised land of Super Bowl sixty. And there's

324
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:22,280
Speaker 2: no debate over that this is a generational mister Softy

325
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 2: run for the New England Patriots. Congratulations. I'm jealous. I

326
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:32,000
Speaker 2: am absolutely jealous. It's like it's not really a postseason run.

327
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:35,480
Speaker 2: It's like a massage at the Foxborough day Spa, the

328
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:38,240
Speaker 2: manny and the petty, the bubble bath. Now, what is

329
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 2: my evidence if you look at the receipts and look

330
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:43,520
Speaker 2: at the receipts, the easiest schedule in the league this year,

331
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 2: and the easiest schedule and the generation plus strength of

332
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:49,800
Speaker 2: schedule of the opponent that was during the regular season.

333
00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:54,360
Speaker 2: This was not a football obstacle. Course, this was a

334
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:58,639
Speaker 2: study diet of creampuffs and doughnuts and then threw some

335
00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:01,480
Speaker 2: mcclair's in there. The whole thing. You played a Charger

336
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:04,600
Speaker 2: team held together by duck tape and a prayer and

337
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 2: Justin Turbert, Justin Herbert there who went out there and

338
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:11,120
Speaker 2: the moment was too big. He's a coward. He played

339
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:12,680
Speaker 2: cowardly football for the Chargers.

340
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:13,119
Speaker 1: CJ.

341
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:17,880
Speaker 2: Stroud hanging out handing out interception, you get an interception,

342
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:20,400
Speaker 2: you get an interception like that famous TV thing back

343
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:23,440
Speaker 2: in the day with Oprah. And then the AFC Championship

344
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:26,200
Speaker 2: game where Sean Payton decides that his quarterback is good

345
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:28,399
Speaker 2: rather than kick a field goal and go up by

346
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:31,960
Speaker 2: two scores. And then in the second half the blizzard

347
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 2: kicked in. So that's a couple of gifts from the

348
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:39,359
Speaker 2: heavens for the Patriots that went their way. New England

349
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:43,359
Speaker 2: is averaging eighteen points per game. The last time a

350
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:47,280
Speaker 2: team was this bad was the Rams nineteen seventy nine,

351
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:48,080
Speaker 2: La Rams.

352
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:53,600
Speaker 1: It's almost fifty years ago. Almost fifty years ago, so enjoy.

353
00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:58,240
Speaker 2: The flight out to the Bay Area there, and.

354
00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:58,320
Speaker 1: I don't want to hear about the doubters.

355
00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:00,359
Speaker 2: Though you were the biggest favorite, you didn't cover the

356
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:04,200
Speaker 2: spread against the backup quarterback in a blizzard, and you

357
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:06,359
Speaker 2: couldn't cover the spread there, So no style points for

358
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:07,199
Speaker 2: the Patriots at all.

359

406
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:28,840
Speaker 2: Clearly, HL Wrights c it he says, Ben, you're all

407
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:31,399
Speaker 2: wet on the Patriots. Whose fault is it that they

408
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:36,119
Speaker 2: had an easy schedule the NFL? The game yesterday was

409
00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:38,959
Speaker 2: a mess. That's the kind of game at the Patriots

410
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:41,639
Speaker 2: get in the playoffs, not their fault. They play up

411
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:44,479
Speaker 2: to the ability of their opponent. Well, the reason they

412
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:46,200
Speaker 2: had the easy schedules because of what they did the

413
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:49,160
Speaker 2: year before. You get the NFL gives you the easy schedule.

414
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:53,400
Speaker 2: Inca Terror writes that. He says conspiracy question inca Terror

415
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:55,280
Speaker 2: from New York. He says, at the end of the

416
00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:59,680
Speaker 2: AFC title game, the west Wood One announcer proclaimed that

417
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:04,800
Speaker 2: the may Rabel era of the Patriots had begun. Do

418
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:09,040
Speaker 2: you think that this was an NFL intended storyline, a

419
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:12,959
Speaker 2: second Patriot dynasty? Do you think Peyton was in on it.

420
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:16,840
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go, I'm gonna go know, We'm go know

421
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:21,800
Speaker 2: on that. I like your thinking. The real thing that

422
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:23,840
Speaker 2: should upset you if you're a Bills fan, though, is

423
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:28,320
Speaker 2: the Cooper Cup catch in the NFC title game compared

424
00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:30,960
Speaker 2: to the catch that was not a catch for the Bills.

425
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:34,920
Speaker 2: So they just make it up week to week. It's

426
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:37,200
Speaker 2: a catch one week, the next week it's not a catch.

427
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:38,040
Speaker 1: Stop it.

428
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:41,720
Speaker 2: You just have to go through the whole No, listen,

429
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:46,080
Speaker 2: if if the who's the guy for the Bills that

430
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:49,199
Speaker 2: Brandon cooks, Brandon Cooks, it wasn't a catch. Okay, So

431
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:52,080
Speaker 2: if that wasn't a catch, how is the Cooper Cup

432
00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:52,800
Speaker 2: catch a catch?

433
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:56,000
Speaker 1: Can you explain the difference if we're thinking about the

434
00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:57,320
Speaker 1: same one.

435
00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:01,160
Speaker 5: Cooper Cup wasn't falling while making the catch.

436
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:03,240
Speaker 1: He fell down and hit the ground, the balls came,

437
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:06,439
Speaker 1: he caught it and then he on the ground. He

438
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:07,720
Speaker 1: didn't have it his elbow.

439
00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:09,240
Speaker 2: But don't you have to don't you have to make

440
00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:11,000
Speaker 2: it all the way through? The catch isn't there? I

441
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:12,880
Speaker 2: always say you have to make it through the whole progression.

442
00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:15,040
Speaker 2: Maybe maybe we're thinking about different plays. I'm talking in

443
00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:19,040
Speaker 2: the fourth quarter there was a fourth down and he

444
00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:21,680
Speaker 2: caught it or did he catch it and then he

445
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:23,560
Speaker 2: fell forth? But I'm just saying it's like week to week,

446
00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:25,720
Speaker 2: Well that's a catch. Obviously it's a catch, and then

447
00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:28,960
Speaker 2: well that's not a catch. Okay, So he didn't Cooper

448
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 2: Cup didn't make it all the way through because the

449
00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:31,800
Speaker 2: ball came out.

450
00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:32,800
Speaker 1: But that's allowed.

451
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:34,359
Speaker 2: This is why I actually the ground caused it, but

452
00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:36,480
Speaker 2: I guess the Bills guy didn't cause it.

453
00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:37,600
Speaker 1: It's very confusing.

454
00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:41,840
Speaker 2: Derek wrightes and says steady even breaking out the mallor

455
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:44,240
Speaker 2: basketball chess pass during the game.

456
00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:46,560
Speaker 1: Now, I would have thrown the ball better than that.

457
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:50,600
Speaker 2: Rebecca writes in she says, it's my pet peeve watching

458
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:54,159
Speaker 2: the NFL going for it on fourth down when you

459
00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:56,399
Speaker 2: could just take the points unless it's the middle of

460
00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:57,280
Speaker 2: the fourth quarter.

461
00:24:57,359 --> 00:24:58,160
Speaker 1: Why do that?

462
00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 2: The Bears did the same thing last week and they

463
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:05,639
Speaker 2: would have won in regulation. Well, Rebecca, you know the

464
00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:07,919
Speaker 2: answer to that's because the game of football has been

465
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:11,600
Speaker 2: hijacked by the nerds, and the nerds say I've got

466
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:14,280
Speaker 2: all the numbers, and the coaches have plausible deniability.

467
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:16,800
Speaker 1: Now they do say anybody the ghost war as well.

468
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:19,200
Speaker 2: The analytics. They just say the analytics, the holy grails

469
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:21,439
Speaker 2: of the analytics. Well, the analytics said to go for it,

470
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:24,000
Speaker 2: so you can't argue. Okay, So why don't we just

471
00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:28,359
Speaker 2: pay analytics. We'll just have a chat GPT or GROK

472
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:31,120
Speaker 2: or whatever your favorite AI is. We'll have them coach

473
00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:33,320
Speaker 2: the team. How about that, and just go by the analytics.

474
00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:36,280
Speaker 2: That makes sense, right, why not let's go to the

475
00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:38,320
Speaker 2: phones and the guy I was gonna go to a

476
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:39,359
Speaker 2: hung up, bad job by him.

477
00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:42,119
Speaker 1: But we'll go to Mike in Rhode Island. What's going on? Mike? Welcome?

478
00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:44,880
Speaker 1: You're on the Ben Malor Show. Hello, Ben?

479
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:45,320
Speaker 6: What's up?

480
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:45,600
Speaker 2: Man?

481
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:50,040
Speaker 6: A long time listener, first time caller, work third ship

482
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:52,720
Speaker 6: for a lot of years, always been a fan. But

483
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:54,640
Speaker 6: I'm gonna call you out a little bit. I think

484
00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:58,920
Speaker 6: you're I think you're off on calling the Patriots out

485
00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:01,440
Speaker 6: on what they've accomplished this year.

486
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:05,159
Speaker 2: Well what well, first of all, thanks for listening. Uh

487
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:08,000
Speaker 2: they I don't know what I said that was incorrect.

488
00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:11,359
Speaker 2: They played the easiest schedule in modern NFL history. They've

489
00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:15,080
Speaker 2: had the easiest playoff road, imaginable. What did I say?

490
00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:17,399
Speaker 2: That's I'm glad they're in the Super Bowls. Good for

491
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:18,879
Speaker 2: them that they're in the super Bowl. But it's not

492
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:21,600
Speaker 2: like they it's not an obstacle course this was there

493
00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:23,520
Speaker 2: were there were no motes they had to jump over there.

494
00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:26,159
Speaker 2: They didn't have to swim through shark infested waters to

495
00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:26,560
Speaker 2: get there.

496
00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:32,560
Speaker 6: All right, So they're they're over under preseason by Vegas standards.

497
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:35,040
Speaker 6: I think it was four and a half or five games,

498
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:37,720
Speaker 6: and now they're in the super Bowl with a new

499
00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:42,480
Speaker 6: coach in a second year quarterback that I had to

500
00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:49,560
Speaker 6: go through, a first year coach with no head coach experience, and.

501
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:54,360
Speaker 2: Like, listen, you're trying, but Mike, you're not gonna win

502
00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:56,920
Speaker 2: this argument because the argument you can't win the argument.

503
00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:59,520
Speaker 2: The Patriots have the easiest road possible. It's not it's

504
00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:01,880
Speaker 2: not a map. They're gonna they can win the Super Bowl.

505
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:02,359
Speaker 1: I hope they do.

506
00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:04,000
Speaker 2: I don't want to see Sam Donald win a super Bowl.

507
00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:06,560
Speaker 2: Nobody wants to see Sam Donald win a damn super Bowl.

508
00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:08,080
Speaker 2: They guy sucks.

509
00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:11,280
Speaker 6: That's not shade on the Patriots. That shade on the

510
00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:15,800
Speaker 6: NFL for having low quality teams.

511
00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:18,720
Speaker 2: Well yeah, well that's always been there. There's a bunch

512
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:20,600
Speaker 2: of bad teams in the NFL. But the Patriots were

513
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:21,600
Speaker 2: one of the bad teams.

514
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:25,600
Speaker 6: And you know who saw but Vegas, Vegas had them

515
00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:28,840
Speaker 6: not even winning five games and now they're going to

516
00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:29,200
Speaker 6: the hole.

517
00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:32,720
Speaker 1: Dude, Yeah, well that's Vegas. We're not talking about the

518
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:33,680
Speaker 1: the gambling market.

519
00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:38,200
Speaker 2: We're talking about reality here and the reality but Vegas like.

520
00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:41,280
Speaker 6: Kind of sets like, yeah, nobody expecting the Patriots to

521
00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:42,879
Speaker 6: be here a new coach.

522
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:47,280
Speaker 2: Okay, it doesn't enjoy it, but don't enjoy it because

523
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:49,879
Speaker 2: you overcame the odds, Like, don't tell me, nobody believed

524
00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:52,119
Speaker 2: we could do it. But when the playoffs at home,

525
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:55,280
Speaker 2: Patriots were were the biggest favorite of this road game

526
00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:57,959
Speaker 2: against the Broncos backup quarterback, I I'm not impressed they

527
00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:00,920
Speaker 2: I'm glad they're They're fine, but it's not impressive. There's

528
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:04,760
Speaker 2: nothing the Patriots have done. It's impressive that Drake May

529
00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:06,679
Speaker 2: has not been Will you admit Drake May has not

530
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:07,080
Speaker 2: been good?

531
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:11,320
Speaker 1: But you at least admit that, right, Drake May.

532
00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:14,760
Speaker 2: Had his worst game today or yes, but he hasn't

533
00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:16,800
Speaker 2: been good in the playoffs in general, he hasn't.

534
00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:21,960
Speaker 6: Been good, and I don't They might blame the shortcomings

535
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:28,360
Speaker 6: the offensive line on that. All right, wow, I think like, yeah, defenses,

536
00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:34,040
Speaker 6: they played the Houston Texans, Uh, the number one.

537
00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:37,440
Speaker 2: Defense got four interceptions four interceptions from C. J.

538
00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:38,320
Speaker 1: Stroud in that game.

539
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:42,960
Speaker 6: No, but yeah, But defensively they're playing the number one

540
00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:46,600
Speaker 6: defense in the Denver Broncos I think had the fourth

541
00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:52,080
Speaker 6: or fifth best defense for a relatively new offense for

542
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:54,680
Speaker 6: the new OC, a new head coach in a second

543
00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:57,280
Speaker 6: year quarterback. I think you're you're selling them short man.

544
00:28:57,480 --> 00:29:01,120
Speaker 5: You scored ten points and seven of them were gifted

545
00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:02,640
Speaker 5: to you by Jared Stidham.

546
00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:08,480
Speaker 1: Coop's pretty upset right now. He does not like your propaganda, Mike.

547
00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:10,760
Speaker 1: He does not listen. I enjoy You're in the super Bowl.

548

Speaker 1: I got a rule.

583
00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:19,400
Speaker 2: So a number of you guys got hoodwinked. If you've

584
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:22,200
Speaker 2: been with The Overnight Show for a long time, we

585
00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:24,360
Speaker 2: had one of the most famous moments in the history

586
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:27,920
Speaker 2: of the show many years ago, and it involved a

587
00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:31,640

588
00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:35,600
Speaker 2: called Spats with Shats. It was hilarious. So William Shatner,

589
00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:39,160
Speaker 2: a beloved part of Americana and one of the great

590
00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:42,600
Speaker 2: entertainers of his time. We got into a social media

591
00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:46,920
Speaker 2: brew haha, because I have a mutual friend who happens

592

00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:51,360
Speaker 1: An actor used to play in the NFL guy named.

594
00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:55,440
Speaker 2: Uh, the guy was TV's hunter Fred Dryer, and so

595
00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:57,120
Speaker 2: it's I don't need to give the whole story.

596
00:30:57,160 --> 00:30:59,440
Speaker 1: Anyway, there was a.

597
00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:02,160
Speaker 2: Point in time where William Shatner blocked me and somebody

598
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:05,920
Speaker 2: paid like five thousand dollars to have me unblocked on

599
00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:08,320
Speaker 2: x It was called Twitter at the time to get

600
00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:11,600
Speaker 2: me unblocked to charity for Shatner. And there was a

601
00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:14,640
Speaker 2: night Shatner was on a flight to a Trekky convention

602
00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:15,640
Speaker 2: in Germany.

603
00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:16,800
Speaker 1: It was my.

604
00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:21,920
Speaker 2: Favorite night in that whole spats with Shats. So Shatner

605
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:24,000
Speaker 2: was on a red eye from lax to Germany. He

606
00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:26,040
Speaker 2: was fine all night. We were on the radio all night.

607
00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:30,120
Speaker 2: He's fusing around on his phone and he's getting worked

608
00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:33,760
Speaker 2: up into a ladder because we were It was his birthday,

609
00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:36,840
Speaker 2: and I told people to say happy birthday to Shatner

610
00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:38,920
Speaker 2: and let him know that from the I was blocked,

611
00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:41,880
Speaker 2: I said, let Shatner know happy birthday. So munch of

612
00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:44,280
Speaker 2: guys sent a message. Shatner was getting worked up. He

613
00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:47,240
Speaker 2: starts blocking people, and he was so he didn't know

614
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:50,520
Speaker 2: how to use the phone. So instead of blocking people,

615
00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:53,560
Speaker 2: he starts following the guy working at the quickie mart

616
00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:58,000
Speaker 2: at the gas station, or the janitor cleaning the toilet,

617
00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:01,880
Speaker 2: and he's following these are our pay and Shatner's following

618
00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:05,959
Speaker 2: them by anyway, So I fast forward. Now William Shatner

00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:35,480
Speaker 2: and now we know the rest of the story. You

627
00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:39,320
Speaker 2: were bamboozled. You were a hoodwink. This is skullduggery. It

628
00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:43,920
Speaker 2: turns out that William Shatner is doing a commercial for

629
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:47,240
Speaker 2: Raisin brand that's gonna apparently's gonna be in the super Bowl,

630
00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:50,520
Speaker 2: and this was the lead up. It was a gorilla

631
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:55,840
Speaker 2: marketing campaign, and they used the paparazzo snapping photos of

632
00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:58,080
Speaker 2: Shatner eating a bowl of cereal in his car in

633
00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:03,520
Speaker 2: La traffic, the popa rozzo style photographs suggesting he just

634
00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:06,200
Speaker 2: loved this cereal so much he had to have it.

635
00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:10,040
Speaker 1: That turns out. No, there was even a photo. I

636
00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:10,280
Speaker 1: love this.

637
00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:12,360
Speaker 2: Somebody sent me a photo Shatner getting out of his

638
00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:15,640
Speaker 2: car holding the box of Raisin Brand tucked under his

639
00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:17,480
Speaker 2: arm so you could see the Raisin Brand logo.

640
00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:22,000
Speaker 1: Now this is great. Shatner doesn't need money. He's loaded.

641
00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:24,080
Speaker 2: He's loaded from the Star Trek stuff and all the

642
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:27,560
Speaker 2: things he's done, and he's still out there hustling. He's

643
00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:31,239
Speaker 2: still out there bamboozling people. This is gonna be a

644
00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:34,120
Speaker 2: Super Bowl ad which will air in Super Bowl sixty.

645
00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:37,080
Speaker 2: And so it was all part of a marketing campaign.

646
00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:40,560
Speaker 2: So Shatner was he didn't just decide at age ninety four,

647
00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:42,800
Speaker 2: I want to drive around. How about the fact he's

648
00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:45,400
Speaker 2: still driving at age ninety four. That's impressive, right, Get

649
00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:47,959
Speaker 2: him off the road. He did get in an accident.

650
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:49,200
Speaker 2: Was it last year or two years ago?

651
00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:50,880
Speaker 1: Internaccident? I have a hard rule.

652
00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:53,880
Speaker 2: Once you turn like sixty, you need to be taking

653
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:56,000
Speaker 2: tests every two to six years.

654
00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:59,840
Speaker 1: That's sight is good and that you have good reaction time.

655
00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:03,280
Speaker 2: I think seventies more like it. I think sixties. I

656
00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:05,440
Speaker 2: think seventy would be more of an issue than sixty.

657
00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:08,279
Speaker 2: Start them early, all right, he'll be there some day,

658
00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:10,120
Speaker 2: La Ray, and we'll see if you're lucky you get there,

659
00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:11,040
Speaker 2: we'll see how.

660
00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:12,719
Speaker 1: You're doing there. I want to be old like you

661

741
00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:27,239
Speaker 2: not much se quarterbacks, it's not a high bar. It's

742
00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:29,120
Speaker 2: not a high It is not a high bar. Right,

743
00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:33,440
Speaker 2: Carson Palmer, Matt Lioner, you go down the list. I mean,

744
00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:36,919
Speaker 2: there's been a handful of play in the NFL. I'm

745
00:38:36,920 --> 00:38:40,040
Speaker 2: still gonna go No, just because they haven't one until.

746
00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:41,640
Speaker 1: Then they win the Super Bowl. We can revisit this,

747
00:38:41,719 --> 00:38:43,680
Speaker 1: but not just making it. I'm gonna go no. Next.

748
00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:46,400
Speaker 5: All right, So we talked last week about how Brian

749
00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:49,200
Speaker 5: Daball is a favorite for the Buffalo Bill's a job.

750
00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:52,759
Speaker 5: It was reported over the weekend that Philip Rivers is

751
00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:56,279
Speaker 5: interviewing for the head coaching job, Ben, do you think

752
00:38:56,280 --> 00:38:57,680
Speaker 5: that's actually something that they would do?

753
00:38:58,239 --> 00:39:00,879
Speaker 1: I would love it. Lst time we saw a high

754
00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:02,280
Speaker 1: school coach, it was Jim Mersay.

755
00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:04,560
Speaker 2: He's dead now in Indianapolis, but I would love to

756
00:39:04,600 --> 00:39:06,560
Speaker 2: see an owner be willing to do that. I think

757
00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:10,200
Speaker 2: it's so hilarious that it's not gonna happen. But I

758
00:39:10,400 --> 00:39:13,560
Speaker 2: think apparently he's buddies with with Josh Allen. That's why

759
00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:15,880
Speaker 2: you got Philip Urvers got the interview. It's got to

760
00:39:15,880 --> 00:39:17,719
Speaker 2: be Brian dave all though doesn't. What are they waiting for?

761
00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:19,120
Speaker 2: Why have they not named him the coach?

762
00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:19,600
Speaker 1: Next?

763
00:39:19,920 --> 00:39:23,960
Speaker 5: So the Cowboys blocked the Eagles request to interview offensive

764
00:39:23,960 --> 00:39:26,799
Speaker 5: coordinator Clayton Adams because apparently they're allowed to do this

765
00:39:26,840 --> 00:39:29,360
Speaker 5: if it's going to be a lateral move. But Clayton

766
00:39:29,360 --> 00:39:33,000
Speaker 5: Adams would be calling the plays over there, which he's

767
00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:35,799
Speaker 5: not doing. Now do you think that should they should

768
00:39:35,880 --> 00:39:37,759
Speaker 5: change that role or do you like them being able

769
00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:38,200
Speaker 5: to block that?

770
00:39:38,719 --> 00:39:38,759
Speaker 3: No?

771
00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:41,080
Speaker 2: I like that the teams are petty that they block coach.

772
00:39:41,120 --> 00:39:43,360
Speaker 2: It didn't think Cowboys hire their defensive coordinator.

773
00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:48,439
Speaker 1: Yes, classic Jerry Shoes. Well I'm gonna take this guy,

774
00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:49,520
Speaker 1: but you can't have this guy.

775
00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:53,239
Speaker 2: No, I think they should just have They should wait

776
00:39:53,280 --> 00:39:54,799
Speaker 2: till after the super Bowl and name these coaches though,

777
00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:55,399
Speaker 2: how do we do coop?

778
00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:57,160
Speaker 1: How do we do pass that? As they went put

779
00:39:57,200 --> 00:40:01,120
Speaker 1: on the bar, oh my god, I wanted to get
