00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:36,199
Speaker 1: before today, three sixties six. There's one game left the

9
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:40,000
Speaker 1: Super Bowl, and the matchup was decided today Sunday math

10
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:46,640
Speaker 1: by me. How do you like that? Six? Don't overthink it?

11
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:49,840
Speaker 1: You know what you said? One of the most insanely

12
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:55,000
Speaker 1: six six to sixty six with one game to go.

13
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:58,320
Speaker 1: You were off by only a hundred Oh nailed it.

14
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 1: Also our last Monday night of the year. This is

15
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 1: our longest work day. Really, we come in, we watch

16
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:06,679
Speaker 1: all the games. It was a lot of fun today

17
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 1: and this is it. You know, we'll be on the road.

18
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:11,280
Speaker 1: We'll do the Phoenix thing. But oh yeah, let's it

19
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:14,040
Speaker 1: feels kind of like the end of our little season here. Yeah,

20
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 1: we should lay out the schedule, probably do two shows

21
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 1: this week, right, Yeah, we'll do two shows no weekend shows.

22
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 1: We'll do two shows during the week and then we'll

23
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 1: get on a plane this weekend. Uh four separate planes

24
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:29,480
Speaker 1: because they fly us in seven planes just for security issues.

25
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:32,199
Speaker 1: Much how the president and the vice president never fly together.

26
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:37,559
Speaker 1: So we'll take four private jets to Arizona, and um yeah,

27
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:39,760
Speaker 1: Mark will Actually I'm putting you on a commercial liner

28
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 1: and coach. Well, and it's a day earlier so that

29
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 1: I can apparently, you know, crank out fourteen stories while

30
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 1: you guys are drinking martinis and you stick your hand

31
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 1: up in the air for this one. I was actually

32
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 1: I was the early guy last year, and I ended

33
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 1: up on a boat in New Jersey for the opening

34
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 1: press conferences while you guys were doing your martiniz in

35
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 1: Culver City. I don't want to hear it. I I

36
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 1: wind it up in eight degree weather with a T

37
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 1: shirt because they sent my luggage to Miami. That was bad.

38
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:10,119
Speaker 1: Uh So this year we don't have to worry about

39
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 1: anything like that. It's gonna be in Arizona. We'll be

40
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 1: warm and nice. But let's get to how we're going

41
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:18,080
Speaker 1: to get to that game. Because there were two games

42
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 1: played today, one an instant Classic, one I called the

43
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 1: Throne of Ease Bowl, which will well, let's cover that

44
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 1: game second, because let's get to Let's start that first game,

45
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 1: because it is going to be remembered for a long time,

46
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:38,080
Speaker 1: uh in very different ways by the two fans of

47
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 1: the fan bases. And let's get into it. The Seattle

48
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 1: Seahawks are going back to the Super Bowl. But it

49
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:49,799
Speaker 1: wasn't easy. They were down twelve points with five minutes

50
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 1: to play. Fans even left Century quest Field the Great

51
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 1: twelfth Man because they thought it was over. But it wasn't.

52
00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:00,400
Speaker 1: The Packers over a series of miscuse them steaks in

53
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 1: a famous office now instantly infamous onside kick failure by

54
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 1: Brandon Bostick keep Seattle in the game. Russell Wilson gets

55
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:12,960
Speaker 1: hot in the end of two overtime win for the

56
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,960
Speaker 1: Seahawks to beat the Green Bay Packers and in in probable fashion,

57
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:19,800
Speaker 1: and the Packers season and Seattle has a chance to repeat.

58
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 1: Greg will start with you, how will you remember this game?

59
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 1: Is the game that Seattle stole or the game the

60
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:30,080
Speaker 1: Packers choked away? Well, I'll remember it more for the

61
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 1: Packers choking it away. I'll remember it as a game

62
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 1: where a thirty five yard touchdown pass to win the

63
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 1: game in overtime. A beautiful pass, a beautiful catch. Was

64
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 1: probably not one of the top three or four plays

65
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 1: of the game. I mean, it was one of the

66
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 1: most insane endings you could ever imagine. And the whole

67
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 1: time I was watching it, it felt like, Oh, here's

68
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 1: the game where Seattle was way over confident and they

69
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 1: were getting smacked around the whole time. And it's like, Okay,

70
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 1: after the game, everyone's talking about how they get humble

71
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 1: pie and they somehow win the game. Anyways, I don't

72
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 1: know how. There was a moment when they were down

73
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 1: by a lot late where it just seemed like it

74
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 1: was over for Seattle, and they cut to Marshawn Lynch

75
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 1: on the sideline and he's dancing a jig, and that's

76
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 1: when I thought, there's just an absolute disconnect between what's

77
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 1: happening here and what the players think is happening. But

78
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:26,360
Speaker 1: maybe he foresaw or just had that that whole Seattle

79
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:29,160
Speaker 1: team they are confident bunch. I mean, they just seemed

80
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 1: to not get down. The Russell Wilson, you know, is

81
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 1: the absolute picture of that throws two picks to Haha.

82
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 1: Clinton Dick's before even completes a pass, starts over for five,

83
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 1: finishes the first half with a zero passer, raining four

84
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 1: picks on the day, but at six of seven over

85
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 1: his last seven throws for a hundred and thirty five

86
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:50,800
Speaker 1: yards or something, and the touchdown. I mean, he basically

87
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:54,599
Speaker 1: said right, he said everyone not. There wasn't a moment

88
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 1: when anyone doubted me. You know, other teams they aren't

89
00:04:57,360 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 1: mature like this and they crumble. I think Seattle deserves

90
00:04:59,880 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 1: a little bit of credit here. Yeah. I think it's

91
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:04,600
Speaker 1: It reminds me of the rudy Tom Jonovans quote, never

92
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:07,360
Speaker 1: underestimate the heart of a champion. This is the smartest

93
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 1: team in the league outside I mean, I think Bill

94
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 1: with Belichick and Brady are the smartest combo. But this

95
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 1: is the smartest, most confident team in the league. And

96
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 1: I think we saw from the very first quarter the

97
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 1: advantages that the Packers could not take advantage of and

98
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:26,039
Speaker 1: the kind of head scratching conservatism of Mike McCarthy. You

99
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:27,600
Speaker 1: just had the feeling that was gonna come back to

100
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 1: haunt them the entire game, do you. Aaron Rodgers clearly

101
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 1: and a very grim uh postgame press conference round Rogers.

102
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 1: Uh was clearly biting his tongue. I think when they

103
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:40,480
Speaker 1: were asking about they asked him directly about the game

104
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:44,039
Speaker 1: plan and and specifically when Richard Sherman heard heard his elbow.

105
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 1: You know why, you know, was it were you tempted

106
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:50,280
Speaker 1: to go after Sherman on who's on one arm essentially

107
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:53,280
Speaker 1: and he said, we just didn't execute. Uh, you know,

108
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 1: so they could have been more more aggressive all over

109
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 1: the game. Yeah, I mean it was you know that

110
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:01,280
Speaker 1: those of those interceptions that Wilson had at one point

111
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:04,479
Speaker 1: realized the first three only led to six points for

112
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 1: Green Bay and one of them when you're right down

113
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 1: at the goal line, you want to you want to

114
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:10,919
Speaker 1: make a statement early, and they end up kicking a

115
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:13,040
Speaker 1: field goal that that burned us all, none of us,

116
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,359
Speaker 1: Like I think you can kill McCarthy for not going

117
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 1: for it on fourth and goal from inside the one,

118
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 1: and then not going for it from fourth and goal

119
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:24,360
Speaker 1: from the one the next drive. The play calling at

120
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 1: the end was curious to me, but it was also execution.

121
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:30,599
Speaker 1: You know, they had two straight three and outs that's

122
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:35,040
Speaker 1: set up, uh, the Seahawks going on their run in

123
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:38,480
Speaker 1: those they get two runs for four four yards, and

124
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:40,359
Speaker 1: then they miss a pass on third and down, and

125
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 1: then the next one where they're really trying to solve

126
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:44,479
Speaker 1: the game away, they lose six yards on their first

127
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:46,479
Speaker 1: two runs. So at that point it's third and sixteen.

128
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 1: Do you just burn the clock there? Do you try

129
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 1: to go for it? You have Aaron Rodgers at quarterback,

130
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 1: you'd like to see them be aggressive. But even then

131
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 1: they're punting the ball with a twelve point lead and

132
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:01,480
Speaker 1: four minutes to go. At that point, the Seahawks that

133
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 1: had twelve drives in the game, and they had scored

134
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 1: one touchdown and that was on a trick play, so

135
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 1: their offense hadn't scored a point the whole game, really,

136
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 1: and so it's not too crazy for McCarthy to think

137
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 1: at that point, we're not gonna gag up too straight

138
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:20,080
Speaker 1: touch Tom k I tweeted earlier in the game, when when, uh,

139
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 1: you know, Russell Wilson had a zero passer rating that

140
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 1: he had job security forever because he's been around forever

141
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 1: and threw some bad playoff losses. Now with a game

142
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 1: like this, he would be around forever. But the way

143
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 1: that defense folded up like a cheap tent, and and

144
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 1: I will I have I have a list here of

145
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 1: moments that they will never get back and that they

146
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 1: will hit them forever. We already mentioned. Uh, Coon had

147
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 1: the run that was called back, the one yard run,

148
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 1: and then Lacy gets stuff field goal. Rogers misses an

149
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 1: open Jordy Nelson in the end zone. That next possession

150
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 1: they settled for the field goal. Dropped interception in the

151
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 1: second half. I'm not sure who had the drop on it,

152
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 1: but that would have really put them in great shape.

153
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 1: Morgan Burnett has the interception at midfield with five minutes

154
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 1: to play and what looked like a lot of running

155
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 1: room in front of him, and he slid to the

156
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:05,120
Speaker 1: ground at midfield like there was ten seconds left in

157
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 1: the game. Uh, they get nothing out of that. Brandon

158
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 1: Boston because we know muff the on side kick ha ha.

159
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 1: Clinton botches the two point coverage on the past that

160
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 1: ended up costing them a game, and that play was ridiculous.

161
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 1: And then finally, and then finally, no safety help for

162
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 1: Tremont Williams On curses game winning touchdown, and the game's over,

163
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 1: the season's over. Like all these situations, if they just

164
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:29,680
Speaker 1: went executed any of these, they probably would have won

165
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 1: the game and they gave up twenty one points in

166
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:34,959
Speaker 1: five minutes. Basically, I mean it's like, and this is

167
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 1: a team Seattle couldn't get anything going beast mode. Give

168
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 1: Lynch credit. He ran wild in the second half and

169
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:42,560
Speaker 1: he took over and they would not have won this

170
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:44,680
Speaker 1: game without him. But it's sheer. It was a sheer

171
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:47,319
Speaker 1: meltdown by the Packers defense. Well, and you can pick

172
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 1: out I could think of other moments too. I thought

173
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 1: a really big moment of the game. It was sixteen

174
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:55,120
Speaker 1: to nothing and the Packers had the ball inside the

175
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:58,559
Speaker 1: thirty five and they were driving, and that's when Rogers

176
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 1: through I think his second interception, and at that point,

177
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 1: if you can go up three scores, if you could

178
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:06,960
Speaker 1: score a touchdown there, I thought the game was over.

179
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:09,559
Speaker 1: It's twenty three, nothing to forget about it. And it

180
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 1: was just plays like that from Rogers and the Packers

181
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:15,040
Speaker 1: offense that let them down. I it's hard for me

182
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 1: to kill the defense. I mean, this defense won them

183
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 1: the game. It's to me, it's all on the offense

184
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 1: not being able to capitalize on all the great opportunities.

185
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 1: If the offense and the coaching had stayed as aggressive

186
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 1: as a defensive work. The defense was for fifty seven minutes,

187
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 1: the Packers would have blown them out. Yep. And if

188
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:34,720
Speaker 1: you're not for a while I sent the tweet out,

189
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:36,320
Speaker 1: I thought I was saying, the Packers are gonna go

190
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:38,680
Speaker 1: to the super Bowl because of defense and running, Like

191
00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 1: how weird? How weird is that? Because they were the

192
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:42,440
Speaker 1: better running team, and they were, they were easily the

193
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:46,119
Speaker 1: better defense for most of it. It really was Rogers

194
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:48,959
Speaker 1: and the passing game that let them down more more

195
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:50,960
Speaker 1: than anything. And you know, if you knew, if you

196
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:53,320
Speaker 1: were a Green Bay fan, you're going to have a

197
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:56,960
Speaker 1: sixteen nothing halftime lead to Nurse, You're gonna have four

198
00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:00,080
Speaker 1: interceptions from Russell Wilson in this game, and during in

199
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:02,520
Speaker 1: a big chunk of the second half, Richard Sherman is

200
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 1: gonna be playing with a hobbled right army was just

201
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 1: left hand I think was collutching it to his body

202
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:10,319
Speaker 1: with Earl Thomas in the locker room. And you don't

203
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 1: start throwing down field and testing these guys. That is

204
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 1: on the that's on McCarthy. It's on McCarthy. And you

205
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:19,079
Speaker 1: could not watch these two games today and not notice

206
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 1: the start difference between what Belichick did with a big

207
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 1: lead in the second half, and what McCarthy did with

208
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:27,360
Speaker 1: a big league And it's on McCarthy. He's been there

209
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:29,560
Speaker 1: for ten years. He ought to know that you never

210
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:32,120
Speaker 1: go into a game with a plan to sit on

211
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 1: the ball. And he said after the game some very

212
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 1: weird comments that he planned to run the ball twenty

213
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 1: times in the second half. He said he really wanted

214
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 1: to get to twenty runs and I think he met

215
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:43,679
Speaker 1: in the second half like that was this number that

216
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 1: he was really pushing to get there. I don't know

217
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:48,080
Speaker 1: if he meant Lacey or he meant team runs in

218
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 1: the second half, but it was a very strange thing

219
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:52,720
Speaker 1: to say. And he also had the quote, I didn't

220
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 1: think when he would need a lot of points to

221
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:59,560
Speaker 1: win this game. That's odd. And also, you're playing football

222
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 1: clean your trendy runs business. That's ridiculous that that's still

223
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 1: a goal in the second half when Eddie Lacey was

224
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:07,959
Speaker 1: on the sideline for a big stretch of minutes. I

225
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:09,840
Speaker 1: mean they didn't even have their starter out there for

226
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:12,439
Speaker 1: part of the team go ahead. Plenty of goats to

227
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 1: go around here, obviously, but let's focus on Aaron Rodgers.

228
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:17,320
Speaker 1: For one second, because I know he was not healthy,

229
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 1: uh in the in the playoffs, so he needs to

230
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 1: factor that in. But you know, nineteen for thirty four

231
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:26,439
Speaker 1: d seventy eight yards average just over five yards an attempt,

232
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:30,080
Speaker 1: so very close to the Gabbard zone touchdown. Two interceptions, Uh,

233
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 1: the second one that was killer. The first one was

234
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:35,120
Speaker 1: in the end zone. Passer rating of fifty five point eight.

235
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 1: So Rogers, you know, for the m v P, he

236
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 1: did not show up in a big spot here, not enough.

237
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:42,000
Speaker 1: It didn't make enough big plays in this game. Well,

238
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 1: like you said, he's not and how many quarterbacks are

239
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 1: doing better against basically the generation's best defense. Jordy Nelson

240
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 1: had a key drop. You know, we're not talking about

241
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 1: any of this if Bosta catches that pass. I mean,

242
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 1: so there's there's a lot of things that went wrong

243
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 1: for them, But I think Lacey and Starts they were

244
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 1: running the ball really well and that that went away

245
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter. And then on the flip side,

246
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 1: Marshawn Lynch and the Seahawks running game that took off

247
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:12,560
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter. It seems like Marshawn Lynch adds

248
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:17,439
Speaker 1: a moment or a performance every every week in the playoffs.

249
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:20,319
Speaker 1: Now that's like, oh well remember that one forever. It's

250
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:23,440
Speaker 1: like every big game, Marshawn Lynch seems like he's the

251
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:26,280
Speaker 1: best guy on the field. They have to bring him back, right, Yeah.

252
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:28,160
Speaker 1: And I asked Greg in the news room today, I

253
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:30,680
Speaker 1: thought it was a legitimate question. When he's up for

254
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:33,120
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame, I think this is the season

255
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 1: that really puts him in. I think back to back

256
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:40,240
Speaker 1: Super Bowls as basically the philosophical backbone of the team.

257
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 1: Hundred and eighty three yards today from scrimmage overall, and

258
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:46,480
Speaker 1: that includes the twenty the huge twenty six yard catch

259
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 1: that he had and then a hundred and fifty seven

260
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:50,600
Speaker 1: on the ground. A photos interesting to the Eddie Lacey

261
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:52,920
Speaker 1: started out so great and in some ways you can

262
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:56,320
Speaker 1: look at him as kind of like a evolutionary Marshawn Lynch,

263
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:59,680
Speaker 1: and how quick and big and powerfully is a nimble

264
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 1: and Lynch. What he did then was basically put the

265
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:05,680
Speaker 1: young guy in his place and was like, all right,

266
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:07,760
Speaker 1: you look cute there, Now, let me show you what

267
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:11,800
Speaker 1: a real beast does. And for one fifty seven and

268
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 1: and and just tons of big plays and you couldn't

269
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 1: come down. He was just I mean, it's amazing. I've

270
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 1: I've never seen a running back that can energize a

271
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:22,880
Speaker 1: team like that. He's truly unique. Some of the most

272
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:25,360
Speaker 1: memorable place to me were when they were still down

273
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 1: sixty nothing or sixteen seven and he would get it

274
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 1: looked like he was getting stopped short of a first

275
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:34,520
Speaker 1: down and you carry the entire Packers defense five yards

276
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:37,120
Speaker 1: and maybe those drives didn't even always end in points,

277
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 1: but it was like it didn't matter what the score was.

278
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 1: Lynch was going crazy. Well, I thought the Bills made

279
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 1: it an excellent move by giving him up for a

280
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:47,080
Speaker 1: fifth round. They got their value. I think they got

281
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:48,760
Speaker 1: two picks. I think it was like a fifth and

282
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:51,240
Speaker 1: a seven. So they did show. There was a study

283
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 1: that showed that for both of these starting teams that

284
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:57,720
Speaker 1: there was only one first round pick that was Aaron Rodgers.

285
00:13:57,720 --> 00:13:59,679
Speaker 1: Now there was also in Lynch, but they actually got

286
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:02,120
Speaker 1: him for a fifth and nothing else for either team

287
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:04,080
Speaker 1: was a first round pick. I mean, it shows how

288
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:06,960
Speaker 1: smart you talk about a smart team. Seattle has brought

289
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 1: these players in from all over the place in different ways.

290
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 1: Isn't ha hawk? Clinton Dick's the first round pick Well,

291
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 1: it was offense, okay, and I feel for maybe I

292
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:19,240
Speaker 1: don't feel for domn Capers, but the performance that Julius

293
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:22,280
Speaker 1: Peppers had and the entire defense for all that game,

294
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 1: I mean, they were better. They're they're not as talented

295
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:29,840
Speaker 1: overall as as the Seahawks, but Burnett had three tackles

296
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:33,920
Speaker 1: for lost, two sacks, a couple quarterback hits, a past defense. Uh,

297
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 1: Peppers had a monster game, three QB hits, a sack

298
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:38,760
Speaker 1: and a half. It's like Clay Matthews did a great

299
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:41,880
Speaker 1: job stopping Russell Wilson in the run game. It's like

300
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:46,360
Speaker 1: they played so well for fifty six minutes. It was

301
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 1: and then just felt Clinton Dicks is like a microcosm

302
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:51,840
Speaker 1: because he played such a great game. And on that

303
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:55,200
Speaker 1: two point conversion, which uh, really, when then you see

304
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 1: what you can't really uh look at it that way,

305
00:14:57,480 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 1: But when Crosby hits the fifty yard or to send

306
00:14:59,880 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 1: an overtime if they don't convert on the two point conversion,

307
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:05,480
Speaker 1: the Packers went on that field goal, It's amazing. That

308
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:07,600
Speaker 1: was to me one of the most amazing plays an

309
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:10,840
Speaker 1: NFL playoff history and one that will be talked about

310
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:13,360
Speaker 1: where he gets flushed out of pocket the opposite side

311
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:16,040
Speaker 1: of the field, Russell Wilson does. I think he backpedals

312
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:19,040
Speaker 1: like ten fifteen yards, then throws a rainbow and somehow

313
00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:21,080
Speaker 1: it ends up being a one on one situation with

314
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:24,560
Speaker 1: Clinton Dix and somehow he doesn't play the ball right

315
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:26,840
Speaker 1: and he and he doesn't even get close to the ball.

316
00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:29,080
Speaker 1: It was like it was almost like there's been some

317
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 1: type of bad juju that infected the Packers about midway

318
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:35,520
Speaker 1: through the fourth quarter, and they couldn't shake about the

319
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:38,520
Speaker 1: field goal, right. I mean, it was. It was one

320
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:41,680
Speaker 1: weird thing after the other. I know, I'm harping on this.

321
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:46,640
Speaker 1: The bad juju is a natural byproduct of playing without aggressiveness.

322
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:50,120
Speaker 1: I think that's not that goes naturally when you are

323
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:52,160
Speaker 1: worried about whether you're gonna win or not, instead of

324
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 1: just putting your neck, your your foot on their necks.

325
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:57,240
Speaker 1: That's what happened. They're starting to remind They remind me

326
00:15:57,280 --> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 1: a little bit of the Patriots team's early last decade,

327
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:02,760
Speaker 1: where in so many of the big games, the other

328
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:05,640
Speaker 1: team left saying we were the better team, that we

329
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:08,320
Speaker 1: played better. And I don't know how it happened but

330
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 1: the Patriots somehow won those games, and after a while

331
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:13,400
Speaker 1: people just started giving you know, analyst and whatever, started

332
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 1: giving Patriots credit. They always made us to win those games.

333
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:18,320
Speaker 1: And I set it downstairs. Uh it seemed and it

334
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 1: seemed like that way with the Patriots during their Golden run,

335
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:23,760
Speaker 1: that oh, the Patriots always get the breaks, and now

336
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 1: we're seeing it with the Seahawks. It feels that way,

337
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 1: but maybe that's not. You make your own breaks, and

338
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:29,960
Speaker 1: that's what a great team is able to do. They

339
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 1: take advantage of those opportunities. And I don't, by the way,

340
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:35,120
Speaker 1: I don't want to hear anything from people about the

341
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 1: overtime rules saying that, oh, the Aaron Rodgers should have

342
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 1: gotten one more chance. More than your defense lays down

343
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:44,560
Speaker 1: like dogs in that spot. You don't get the ball back.

344
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:48,240
Speaker 1: You choked. The whole team laid down on in in

345
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:50,960
Speaker 1: that spot and gave up a terrible job. I thought,

346
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:53,720
Speaker 1: by Capers by not giving Williams any help on that play.

347
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:55,280
Speaker 1: You laid down, You let him go right down the

348
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:57,000
Speaker 1: field for a touchdown. It's over, and you don't get

349
00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:00,560
Speaker 1: that they were winning those matchups all and maybe he

350
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:02,400
Speaker 1: should have adjusted, But that was One of the more

351
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:05,840
Speaker 1: amazing things about their plan was they were one on

352
00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:08,960
Speaker 1: one on the outside pretty much the whole day, and

353
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:11,480
Speaker 1: they were winning because the Seattle receivers are not very

354
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:15,400
Speaker 1: good tip and I think the Patriots will probably do

355
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:18,160
Speaker 1: a similar strategy. You would think in the Super Bowl

356
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:20,439
Speaker 1: because it was effective for the most too long to

357
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:22,639
Speaker 1: start running that read option with success. I feel like

358
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:24,199
Speaker 1: they weren't even doing and then all of a sudden,

359
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:26,359
Speaker 1: right in the fourth quarter, they started, And then you

360
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:29,320
Speaker 1: couldn't stop the Seahawks. I thought, I mean, I thought

361
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:30,800
Speaker 1: for a big chunk of the game that something was

362
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:33,080
Speaker 1: wrong with Russell Wilson. But he proved that not to

363
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:35,480
Speaker 1: be the case. You know, and Dan said downstairs, and

364
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 1: I dismissed this because it was Browns related, but you said,

365
00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:41,639
Speaker 1: this is the equivalent of the drive the fumbling right

366
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:44,240
Speaker 1: up there, and I and I didn't see that at first.

367
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 1: But the more I think about it, if you're a

368
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:49,360
Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers fan, there's enough in this game where

369
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:52,840
Speaker 1: you wake up tomorrow thinking this something mystical happened here

370
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:56,240
Speaker 1: terribly and it is in that realm and today's NFL. Yes,

371
00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:58,480
Speaker 1: it is the difference being that the Packers will be

372
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:02,400
Speaker 1: back in the NFC Championship next season, but we don't know. Well,

373
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 1: look look at their roster though. This isn't like the

374
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:08,439
Speaker 1: Browns when Kozar took a turn for the worst and

375
00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:11,040
Speaker 1: wasn't himself and they went to three and four years.

376
00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:13,719
Speaker 1: But they and the Packers were the better team in

377
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:17,800
Speaker 1: Seattle in the NFC Championship and would have felt as

378
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:20,680
Speaker 1: confident as they can be going into the Super Bowl.

379
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:23,000
Speaker 1: I mean, they had it right there in their hands,

380
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:25,720
Speaker 1: so you might it's like the Packers when they were

381
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:27,720
Speaker 1: last won the Super Bowl. We probably thought they would

382
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:30,480
Speaker 1: have been back in an NFC Championship game a lot

383
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:33,080
Speaker 1: sooner than four years from then. And that's how long

384
00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:34,680
Speaker 1: it took them to get back, and they're they're still

385
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:36,359
Speaker 1: not back in the Super Bowl. What I mean is

386
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:39,359
Speaker 1: this roster is set up to be a contender for

387
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:41,199
Speaker 1: the next half a decade. I mean, they have a

388
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:43,400
Speaker 1: lot of great young talent on both sides of the ball.

389
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:45,440
Speaker 1: They need a coach that's gonna get a little guts here.

390
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:49,040
Speaker 1: The earnest argument for me, the Ernest Biner fumble was

391
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:52,720
Speaker 1: almost cinematic, and it's tragic tragedy of it all well,

392
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 1: and now it's something completely different than even what it was.

393
00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:57,720
Speaker 1: But I put I think, and we can't forget about

394
00:18:57,720 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 1: two years ago or three years ago the Billy Kundiff

395
00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:02,240
Speaker 1: game him and uh, the receiver not being able to

396
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:04,560
Speaker 1: hold on. I mean, that was a heartbreaking Lusser Baltimore.

397
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:06,760
Speaker 1: But then that got eased a bit because then they

398
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:08,879
Speaker 1: won the Super Bowl the next year. Uh, maybe the

399
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:10,720
Speaker 1: Packers do the same thing next year and this doesn't

400
00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:13,440
Speaker 1: hurt as much. But jeez, right now it is killer.

401
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:16,000
Speaker 1: Well Dan made that list. Maybe this should be a

402
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:17,919
Speaker 1: post all the plays they could have made. And and

403
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:20,120
Speaker 1: that's what has to kill Packers fans because I can

404
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:22,840
Speaker 1: think of a few more third and nineteen in the

405
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:26,879
Speaker 1: third quarter. The Seattle isn't done anything down the field

406
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:29,120
Speaker 1: all day. They get a third and nineteen, they ended

407
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:33,480
Speaker 1: up rush, ended up setting up a touchdown the play.

408
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:37,040
Speaker 1: You know, at one point in overtime it is third

409
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:40,879
Speaker 1: and seven and the Seahawks are on their own thirty

410
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:43,760
Speaker 1: yard line. Two plays later, the game's over. I mean,

411
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:45,800
Speaker 1: that's b Sarry. It's third and long against a team

412
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:47,879
Speaker 1: that couldn't throw the ball all day, and you go

413
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 1: thirty five five, you're done, alright, we gotta open the

414
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:56,200
Speaker 1: floor for the man behind the last TV because at

415
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:59,440
Speaker 1: a certain point once Russell Wilson started to heat up

416
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:01,920
Speaker 1: and I got I got the stat from t D

417
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:04,720
Speaker 1: after Seattle got the ball with three fifty two to

418
00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 1: play in the fourth six for seven, one thirty four

419
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:09,119
Speaker 1: in a touch, rushed three times or twenty yards in

420
00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:11,240
Speaker 1: a touch. Mark a lot a lot of good infro

421
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:14,240
Speaker 1: from you. Yeah, I mean we mentioned that, but ts moment,

422
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 1: he just wanted to get in there. T D went

423
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:19,400
Speaker 1: ran from his little cubicle in the next room over

424
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:22,560
Speaker 1: to us and was gloating. And I remember twice thinking myself,

425
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:24,000
Speaker 1: with this seems weird. I don't feel like we were

426
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:27,359
Speaker 1: burying Russell Wilson on the podcast, but apparently t D

427
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:29,520
Speaker 1: there was something behind it, and we were just the

428
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:32,000
Speaker 1: orb for your celebration. Yeah. I was just coming over,

429
00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:33,639
Speaker 1: you know. I was so excited, was so pumped up,

430
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:35,679
Speaker 1: so Jack though I figured out say with Solf, but

431
00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:37,680
Speaker 1: the first half was getting a lot of tweets, a

432
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:39,480
Speaker 1: lot of tweets always going on with your boy Russell,

433
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:41,400
Speaker 1: and it's like, yeah, he was having a bad game

434
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:45,840
Speaker 1: and I'm with I'm with Cecily here. I do think

435
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:47,439
Speaker 1: he was a little bit off. Something might have been

436
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:49,439
Speaker 1: wrong with it, and would not be surprised if it

437
00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:52,119
Speaker 1: was suddenly back on and over time. Well, I don't know.

438
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:55,359
Speaker 1: I mean, you saw that hit. He seemed he seemed

439
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:57,600
Speaker 1: like he got his clock. How about the two interceptions

440
00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:00,280
Speaker 1: before he got hit? But the one was picked, one

441
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:02,879
Speaker 1: was tipped right, I mean sometimes that that doesn't always

442
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:05,560
Speaker 1: turt into wasking. Second, the second interception was a great

443
00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:07,600
Speaker 1: play by safety. Was you know it was double coverage?

444
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:09,480
Speaker 1: Was still the man came to play in the second

445
00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:12,679
Speaker 1: half with two sexy deep post to win it. He

446
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:15,440
Speaker 1: knew what he was doing. You love the sexy deep

447
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:17,959
Speaker 1: I could I could empathize with the heat you were taking,

448
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:20,560
Speaker 1: like when I said, uh on Saturday night, I tweeted

449
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:22,800
Speaker 1: that I quit Guardians of the Galaxy after ten minutes

450
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:25,720
Speaker 1: and a bunch of sci fi nerds came after me

451
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:28,560
Speaker 1: with furious vengeance. And those are the ones you really

452
00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:33,480
Speaker 1: yeah stream emphasis. He was happy. Greg had a great

453
00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:36,800
Speaker 1: idea about this being put into a post. And it's

454
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:38,760
Speaker 1: about nine thirty on the West coast here, I think,

455
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:40,240
Speaker 1: And it was your idea, Dan I think we need

456
00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:43,639
Speaker 1: to get you back downstairs into the newsroomatch the podcast

457
00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:47,160
Speaker 1: and get that up tonight because someone's Marcus Smarty because

458
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 1: we did a shifts switch that blew up in his

459
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:52,200
Speaker 1: face like the worst trade since the herschel Walker deal

460
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:54,800
Speaker 1: for the Cowboys. That it was my Trent Richardson moment.

461
00:21:56,000 --> 00:22:00,080
Speaker 1: Uh yeah. Anyway, So TD, congratulations. I will that a

462
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:04,959
Speaker 1: great post that I'll get to tomorrow morning. Mark the

463
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:07,800
Speaker 1: most painful collapses too. I mean this has to be

464
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:11,480
Speaker 1: there with with any of them. It was epic, it really,

465
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:15,280
Speaker 1: I mean, that's how I'll always remember this game is

466
00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:18,040
Speaker 1: one of the greatest collapses I've ever seen. And I was,

467
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:20,000
Speaker 1: you know, I was bummed on a minor level because

468
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:22,159
Speaker 1: Packers are my Super Bowl pick, But more I was

469
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:25,000
Speaker 1: just fun because I like Aaron Rodgers and I do

470
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:27,199
Speaker 1: like this. I like that Packers team. I would have.

471
00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:30,160
Speaker 1: I really wanted to see Packers Patriots matchup. We're still

472
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:32,400
Speaker 1: gonna get a great matchup. But for them to lose

473
00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:34,920
Speaker 1: in this manner, oh my god, it's unbelievable. They had

474
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:40,280
Speaker 1: to come. I agree for the way they played football today,

475
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:43,240
Speaker 1: I don't. Yeah, I agree with you on that and honestly,

476
00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:47,040
Speaker 1: I really believe I don't feel that sorry for Packers fans.

477
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:49,560
Speaker 1: I really don't. They've lived a charm life and they're

478
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:51,800
Speaker 1: gonna be good for a long time. They they're still good.

479
00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:54,600
Speaker 1: It's always Aaron Rodgers, Eddie Lacy and Jordy Nelson or

480
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:58,359
Speaker 1: their heart beat at that offense. They're gonna be great. Yeah,

481
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:00,679
Speaker 1: what Rogers is? I think they're are your thirty one

482
00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:03,040
Speaker 1: years old. He seems to get hurt every year, which

483
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 1: is something to keep a track on as he goes

484
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 1: into his thirties. But this will never be seen as

485
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:11,359
Speaker 1: anything other than a massive missed opportunity for that franchise

486
00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:13,840
Speaker 1: that can't get back. And what a what a nice

487
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:16,119
Speaker 1: little I know we had a lousy a f C championship,

488
00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:19,160
Speaker 1: but to have this game, to have the Ravens Patriots game,

489
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:23,040
Speaker 1: the Lions Cowboys game was very memorable. It's been I

490
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:26,160
Speaker 1: would say it's better than average playoffs, very good class.

491
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:28,440
Speaker 1: Speaking of kicking yourself, the Ravens who had a two

492
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:31,000
Speaker 1: touchdown lead on the Patriots, knowing full well they would

493
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:34,280
Speaker 1: have walked over the Cults who were pushovers. Better than

494
00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:38,200
Speaker 1: average playoffs on top of kind of a below average

495
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:41,040
Speaker 1: regular season as far as how many great games there were?

496
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:45,359
Speaker 1: That's fair? Are we ready to went West spends it

497
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:51,200
Speaker 1: hyper pessimistic? Shocker, he's keeping He's right. The bad there

498
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:53,160
Speaker 1: were there were in a lot of great regular season

499
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:55,760
Speaker 1: game in big spots bad games. T d um I

500
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:58,040
Speaker 1: had a request on Twitter that I thought it was

501
00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:00,600
Speaker 1: a very good request. Somebody who say for one of

502
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:03,280
Speaker 1: the games, since obviously there's only two games today. He

503
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:06,600
Speaker 1: wanted Jounty music. Well that's not all right, Well let's

504
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:12,520
Speaker 1: do it, Jount. So Greg to my right is sitting

505
00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:14,720
Speaker 1: on a throne of ease, which can only mean one thing.

506
00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:18,040
Speaker 1: The New England Patriots. Uh watched the Colts come into

507
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:20,399
Speaker 1: their building and they chuckled to themselves because they knew

508
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:23,119
Speaker 1: they were facing a team that had no shot in

509
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:25,879
Speaker 1: the end of forty five seven win for the Patriots

510
00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:28,000
Speaker 1: in a game that the Patch jumped out to a

511
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:31,920
Speaker 1: fourteen nothing lead in the first quarter, and we're never threatened. Uh.

512
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:34,520
Speaker 1: Legarrett Blunt rushed for well over a hundred yards of

513
00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:38,359
Speaker 1: three touchdowns. Tom Brady played very well twenty three or

514
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:41,880
Speaker 1: thirty five for two twenty six yards, and Andrew Luck

515
00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:45,879
Speaker 1: struggled mightily behind a team that was just outclassed in

516
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:48,080
Speaker 1: a big spot. The Colts are not ready yet, and

517
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:50,399
Speaker 1: the Patriots are going back to the Super Bowl for

518
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:55,840
Speaker 1: a now tying an NFL record the eighth time. Congratulations.

519
00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 1: How does the throne of ease feeling and underpants which

520
00:24:59,840 --> 00:25:04,000
Speaker 1: are completely dry? They are dry? I like the guy

521
00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:07,119
Speaker 1: the Twitter filer who sent in the levels of p

522
00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:10,600
Speaker 1: was it that was awesome? I liked the number nine

523
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:14,600
Speaker 1: was borrowing your new son Walker's diaper right, and uh

524
00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:17,240
Speaker 1: Walker clearly was the m v P today. The key

525
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 1: to the game, to to a you clowns went against them.

526
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:23,960
Speaker 1: They lost the game they picked against him. I have

527
00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:26,280
Speaker 1: no idea what I was thinking, and people should never

528
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:29,800
Speaker 1: listen to me again. When when I think of this game,

529
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:34,200
Speaker 1: I think how much this team changed from week to week.

530
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:36,720
Speaker 1: And I said this in our our NFL Now video

531
00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:39,000
Speaker 1: that the thing that stays the same with the Patriots

532
00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:41,600
Speaker 1: is just how adaptable they are. And to go from

533
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:44,439
Speaker 1: a team that set a record for the fewest rushing

534
00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:47,159
Speaker 1: yards in playoff history with the win last week to

535
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:49,639
Speaker 1: a team that was just running over the Colts with

536
00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 1: six offensive lineman, the Colts had to know what was coming,

537
00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:54,199
Speaker 1: because they did it the last time they played the

538
00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:57,040
Speaker 1: Colts and it didn't matter. Le Garrett Blunt a hundred

539
00:25:57,040 --> 00:26:00,040
Speaker 1: and forty eight yards, three touchdowns. Speaking of art On

540
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:03,879
Speaker 1: today this is gonna be the game where Legarrett Blunt

541
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:06,399
Speaker 1: gets twenty four carries or a hundred and thirteen yards

542
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:13,640
Speaker 1: and three touchdowns. All right, he went thirty one three touchdowns. Bang,

543
00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:18,879
Speaker 1: that is a popping pick. The Patriots have literally pulled

544
00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:21,399
Speaker 1: people off the streets to demolish the Colts in the

545
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:24,520
Speaker 1: rung game. Jonas Gray, poor guy, last time he plays

546
00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:27,479
Speaker 1: him gets two d one yards today for four carries

547
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:29,840
Speaker 1: for four and the New England fan base, I know

548
00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:32,400
Speaker 1: they love their underdog heroes. He got like a big

549
00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:34,720
Speaker 1: ovation when he came onto the field, like people are,

550
00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:37,440
Speaker 1: so they'll always remember his two hundred yard games. I've

551
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:40,040
Speaker 1: had enough of the Jonas Gray heartwarming story. Well, if

552
00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:43,959
Speaker 1: if your team is since Greg was in like algebra too,

553
00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:46,200
Speaker 1: you know you've gotta you gotta keep finding new people

554
00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:48,880
Speaker 1: to root for. Cool moment. I thought, when Belichick took

555
00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:51,200
Speaker 1: out Brady and this is where the fan and me

556
00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:53,280
Speaker 1: is coming out. I heard you and that you could

557
00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:56,480
Speaker 1: hear Greg over watching all the postgame moments, giggling to

558
00:26:56,640 --> 00:27:02,760
Speaker 1: them like that's pretty clear, that's pretty clever. Yeah. At

559
00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:05,399
Speaker 1: one point, like Bill Belichick said something, you know to

560
00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:08,040
Speaker 1: a reporter that was, you know, not not too special.

561
00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:10,720
Speaker 1: It's just Belichick being Belichick, and Greg was like, oh,

562
00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:16,080
Speaker 1: that's precious, were you and you know what I'm you know,

563
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:20,960
Speaker 1: sour grapes your team. I we all envy you obviously,

564
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:24,440
Speaker 1: and how fun must it be? Uh, and we're serious

565
00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:26,320
Speaker 1: about this throne of ease for you to be able

566
00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:28,879
Speaker 1: to enjoy that game basically from the first quarter onward,

567
00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:31,119
Speaker 1: just planning for the Super Bowl. There are people in

568
00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:33,560
Speaker 1: New England booking flights by the time it was halftime.

569
00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:37,080
Speaker 1: This was such such a mismatch. And my question to

570
00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:39,680
Speaker 1: you guys and and and West, we need to talk

571
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:42,240
Speaker 1: about because I know you wrote about that the Colts

572
00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:43,520
Speaker 1: have a lot of work to do to get that

573
00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:46,239
Speaker 1: team better around Andrew Luck. But what happened to the

574
00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:50,639
Speaker 1: Colts defense that stymied uh Dalton and then Peyton Manning

575
00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:53,040
Speaker 1: and they looked like a team that was coming together

576
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:54,719
Speaker 1: for a big run. What happened to those guys? Well,

577
00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:57,480
Speaker 1: I think we probably should we did point out that

578
00:27:57,600 --> 00:28:00,200
Speaker 1: they beat a Bengals team that was missing more of

579
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:02,880
Speaker 1: his top six weapons in the passing game, and it's

580
00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:05,159
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton and Marvin Lewis they lose every year. And

581
00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:09,160
Speaker 1: they beat a Broncos team that had a factless injury

582
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:12,400
Speaker 1: depleted quarterback and a coach who let let it leak

583
00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:14,320
Speaker 1: a few days before that he was out of there.

584
00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:17,480
Speaker 1: So where the Broncos even properly motivated? That they had too?

585
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:20,679
Speaker 1: Looking back in hindsight, they had two pretty easy games

586
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:22,240
Speaker 1: to get to that point. But you, I mean you

587
00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:24,639
Speaker 1: picked the Cults market. You did too, so there was

588
00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:27,399
Speaker 1: something about this team that you thought was going to

589
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:31,280
Speaker 1: pull off. Yeah, Andrew Luck and what happened with Andrew Luck?

590
00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:32,880
Speaker 1: Because I I tweeted at the West, I think you're

591
00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:36,879
Speaker 1: gonna disagree that. You know, he deserves blame for playing

592
00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:38,840
Speaker 1: a poor game here. I mean, he doesn't have a

593
00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:40,960
Speaker 1: great team around him. They read you and shouldn't be

594
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:43,600
Speaker 1: on the field team, right, He needs more guys around him.

595
00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:46,080
Speaker 1: But they needed him to carry him one more week

596
00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:48,240
Speaker 1: and he just didn't show up. So I think you

597
00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:50,520
Speaker 1: can absolutely say he had the worst game of his

598
00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:53,440
Speaker 1: career in the biggest game that He's had the biggest

599
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:55,440
Speaker 1: game possible. He had the worst game of his career.

600
00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:57,960
Speaker 1: But I think if you're blaming him for the loss,

601
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:00,520
Speaker 1: you're missing the big picture, which I do a five

602
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:03,680
Speaker 1: win team without him. I think Luck and Brady both

603
00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:06,640
Speaker 1: played poor in the first half, and the difference was

604
00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:10,800
Speaker 1: the Patriots are up seventeen seven a halftime anyways, and

605
00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:13,280
Speaker 1: Brady was missing a lot of throws. The conditions were tough.

606
00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:15,760
Speaker 1: It was very windy, it was rainy. I mean, it

607
00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:18,400
Speaker 1: was not really built for a big passing day. But

608
00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:20,760
Speaker 1: Luck missed a lot of wide open throws. He had

609
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:23,320
Speaker 1: some drops. I'm amazed in a game that they were

610
00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:27,720
Speaker 1: trailing the whole time, and he had twelve completions, twelve

611
00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:31,440
Speaker 1: six yards, three point eight yards per tempt, two picks,

612
00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:33,840
Speaker 1: their pass rush. It didn't really show up in the stats,

613
00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:36,840
Speaker 1: but I thought it was very good today. Uh, they

614
00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:39,000
Speaker 1: had pressure on him pretty quickly. He had to get

615
00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:40,640
Speaker 1: rid of it, and I think that was a big

616
00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:42,280
Speaker 1: part of it. If you're this Colts team, I mean,

617
00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:44,680
Speaker 1: this is a team that you know, seasons ago traded

618
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:47,280
Speaker 1: for a running back that they thought could help them

619
00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:50,320
Speaker 1: control games on the ground. And when that didn't happen.

620
00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:53,840
Speaker 1: That even put more emphasis on luck having to save

621
00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:56,160
Speaker 1: the day week after week, and when a game like

622
00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:58,480
Speaker 1: this it came home and cost them a win, because

623
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:00,640
Speaker 1: if they could have done what in what New England

624
00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:02,960
Speaker 1: did on the ground and pound away and shortened the

625
00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:05,360
Speaker 1: game and have long control drives, this would have been

626
00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:07,640
Speaker 1: a different situation. They haven't had a running game in

627
00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:10,240
Speaker 1: two years, and they've been playing half of this season

628
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:12,880
Speaker 1: with one wide receiver tied behind their back. I mean,

629
00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:15,280
Speaker 1: we've been saying since mid season they can't win with

630
00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:17,680
Speaker 1: Reggie Wayne in the lineup. They didn't pull him out today,

631
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:19,880
Speaker 1: they let him play the whole game. He finished the

632
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:23,080
Speaker 1: postseason with one catch for twelve yards. In three games

633
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:26,920
Speaker 1: this wide receiver group, t Y Hilton had six targets

634
00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:30,240
Speaker 1: one for thirty, six fleeing Er three for thirty, Hakim

635
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:34,200
Speaker 1: Nicks one for fifteen on three targets, Reggie Wayne two targets,

636
00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:39,400
Speaker 1: no catches, Dante mon Creeve drews. How about t Y

637
00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:42,440
Speaker 1: Hilton doesn't have to get revs uh and still it

638
00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:44,520
Speaker 1: goes one for six on targets. I mean, that's not

639
00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:47,880
Speaker 1: showing up. Kyle Ariington is a guy Patriots fans will

640
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:50,400
Speaker 1: remember for a long time for this performance and the

641
00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:53,880
Speaker 1: other Cults performance. He's a slot cornerback, not even their starter.

642
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:56,320
Speaker 1: It's usually Browner, but today they left him on the

643
00:30:56,360 --> 00:30:59,840
Speaker 1: field for every snap. I believe even when it was

644
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:04,160
Speaker 1: US two wide receiver sets, they had him outside trailing Hilton.

645
00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:07,160
Speaker 1: And for whatever reason you want to come up with

646
00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:09,440
Speaker 1: his quick fee, I I don't know. He seemed to

647
00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:12,440
Speaker 1: have Hilton's number in two matchups this year. The worst

648
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:16,080
Speaker 1: two games of the season was Hilton versus Kyle Arrington.

649
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:18,640
Speaker 1: Are these the two best secondaries to square off in

650
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:23,600
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl? Certainly the best Patriots secondary, that's a

651
00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:26,240
Speaker 1: good question since two thousand one, and I think the

652
00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:30,840
Speaker 1: best Patriots defense, even though the numbers aren't amazing since

653
00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:33,160
Speaker 1: two thousand four when they won it. The two thousand

654
00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:36,480
Speaker 1: two Bucks was one of the all time great secondaries.

655
00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:39,320
Speaker 1: But were that the Raiders second? I don't know how

656
00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:43,640
Speaker 1: great the Raiders were, and well the Raiders, they have troubles.

657
00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:48,800
Speaker 1: Charles Whitson. I think this game points. Look that these

658
00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:51,160
Speaker 1: teams have played four times since the Colts drafted Andrew

659
00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:53,680
Speaker 1: Luck and the fewest points of Patriots have scored in

660
00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:57,960
Speaker 1: one of those matchups is forty two they're averaging per

661
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:00,959
Speaker 1: game against. They basically do whatever they want when they

662
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:03,400
Speaker 1: play against the Colts, and to me, that speaks to

663
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:07,240
Speaker 1: they need a talent infusion in Indianapolis. I mean, who

664
00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:09,800
Speaker 1: are their great players? They have Vante Davis, Andrew Luck

665
00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:11,880
Speaker 1: and t Y Hilton and that's it. I mean, they

666
00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:15,480
Speaker 1: were able to for the most part shut down Gronkowski

667
00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:19,680
Speaker 1: twenty eight yards on eight targets. Tom Brady had a

668
00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:23,800
Speaker 1: terrific second half, didn't didn't really play well early, and

669
00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:27,440
Speaker 1: yet the Patriots win easy. And I think that goes

670
00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:31,120
Speaker 1: to something that Belichick and has preached since he got there,

671
00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:33,680
Speaker 1: which is that the depth on their roster that they're

672
00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:37,479
Speaker 1: they're a team one to fifty three, much stronger than

673
00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:39,320
Speaker 1: the Colts, who are a team one to ten who

674
00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:41,360
Speaker 1: can compete with anyone well. And I think being a

675
00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:44,080
Speaker 1: team one for fifty three speaks to your earlier point

676
00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:46,840
Speaker 1: that they can play any style depending on the matchup.

677
00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:49,320
Speaker 1: When you have depths, you can do that. The Colts

678
00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:51,760
Speaker 1: can only play one style, right, Andrew Luck to a

679
00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:54,680
Speaker 1: to a win, Greg, how excited are you, by the way,

680
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:58,320
Speaker 1: to have a healthy Rob Gronkowski in the Super Bowl.

681
00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:00,880
Speaker 1: And how alarmed would you be when you're on your

682
00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:04,080
Speaker 1: private jet, uh through the Super Bowl if Bernard Pollard

683
00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:06,760
Speaker 1: is sitting there. Give me a break, because I've arranged

684
00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:11,880
Speaker 1: signs Pollard. Now he's gonna be doing He's gonna be

685
00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:14,320
Speaker 1: sitting in on the Around the podcast all week, but

686
00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:15,920
Speaker 1: we're also going to send him to do some coverage

687
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:18,840
Speaker 1: at Patriots practice like that. That is an underrated part

688
00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:21,440
Speaker 1: of these Patriots playoff losses is that they never have

689
00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:23,840
Speaker 1: a healthy Gronk, and now they didn't healthy. You know,

690
00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:26,120
Speaker 1: he's the most important player on the team. Southy that

691
00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:28,200
Speaker 1: will go to the grave saying that Gronk would have

692
00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:29,840
Speaker 1: caught that hailm Mary at the end of the second

693
00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:32,080
Speaker 1: Giant Super Bowl and they would have won the game

694
00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:34,840
Speaker 1: in general if they had Gronk on two legs, although

695
00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:38,959
Speaker 1: Gronk was held with them. Can you imagine if they

696
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:42,560
Speaker 1: hadn't signed five million dollars, who couldn't take care of

697
00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:44,960
Speaker 1: a single coverage that whole game they had cash them

698
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:47,840
Speaker 1: over there? Can you imagine, by the way Gronk went

699
00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:51,880
Speaker 1: to college in Arizona. Is completely insane. If he wins

700
00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:54,600
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl in Arizona. What happens that night? That

701
00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:56,720
Speaker 1: should be what we should do. We should hold the

702
00:33:56,760 --> 00:33:59,680
Speaker 1: podcast and just follow Gronk around and then do the

703
00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:03,840
Speaker 1: pod us or whatever club he's at. Good idea, That idea, Mark, Yeah,

704
00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:05,440
Speaker 1: I mean it probably would end with I think I

705
00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:07,720
Speaker 1: think Greg would end up in an arrest situation in

706
00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:10,439
Speaker 1: the of the cop car somewhere. My club and days

707
00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:12,640
Speaker 1: are over. I don't know if I ever had club.

708
00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:15,680
Speaker 1: You couldn't pay me money to stand in line to

709
00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:17,879
Speaker 1: go to a club. Well, you don't stay, you don't,

710
00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:20,719
Speaker 1: you don't stand in line, and Gronk is in your crew.

711
00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:22,200
Speaker 1: I'm still not hanging out, and how are we going

712
00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:24,040
Speaker 1: to get in his crew? That's a pretty big chance

713
00:34:24,160 --> 00:34:26,400
Speaker 1: that they wouldn't even left the ground. Party bus and

714
00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:31,080
Speaker 1: especially you know that was awesome. They they got turned away,

715
00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:33,279
Speaker 1: but it wasn't as dramatic once you read the story.

716
00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:36,759
Speaker 1: They get turned away because gronks dream little backster it

717
00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:39,239
Speaker 1: was to own a party bus. And because he's a

718
00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:43,280
Speaker 1: multimillionaire Gronk, he got his party bus. And uh apparently

719
00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:46,160
Speaker 1: they got a sponsor under Armo or whatever to put

720
00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:49,279
Speaker 1: signage all over the bus. But because some Pepsi or

721
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:52,239
Speaker 1: something owns the stadium parking lot. They weren't allowed to

722
00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:54,759
Speaker 1: park in the v I P lot, but it just

723
00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:56,320
Speaker 1: meant they had to move over like one section of

724
00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:59,399
Speaker 1: park in the pubis lot and that was it. It's

725
00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:05,160
Speaker 1: important to aspirations exactly Gronk party bus. Is it called

726
00:35:05,160 --> 00:35:07,080
Speaker 1: the Center or something like? The Center is the name

727
00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:09,359
Speaker 1: of the bus and they have I wrote about this

728
00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:12,400
Speaker 1: on the end around the guy that drives the bus

729
00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:15,600
Speaker 1: and essentially to me smells like their consiguliary. And the

730
00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:17,960
Speaker 1: guy that makes problems go away is a guy that

731
00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:22,040
Speaker 1: wears a suit named Bobby Goons. Is he like Turtle? No?

732
00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:25,239
Speaker 1: Well no, he's like a cross between Turtle and the

733
00:35:25,239 --> 00:35:28,440
Speaker 1: guy from Godfather. I was expected, What the hell is

734
00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:30,360
Speaker 1: going on here? Dropped? I just want to say this

735
00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:36,839
Speaker 1: shows how bad this game was. Well, let's kill Let's

736
00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:39,520
Speaker 1: kill the Colts again for something else. Okay, so we

737
00:35:39,600 --> 00:35:42,240
Speaker 1: credited the Seahawks for not giving up and for staying

738
00:35:42,239 --> 00:35:45,000
Speaker 1: in the game. Colts wanted no part of tackling the

739
00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:48,600
Speaker 1: Garrett Blunt from the first quarter on. They and and

740
00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:50,279
Speaker 1: this is what the third time in the row this

741
00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:53,080
Speaker 1: has happened. They just don't want to tackle him. I

742
00:35:53,120 --> 00:35:55,520
Speaker 1: give the offensive line a lot of credit for this

743
00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:58,640
Speaker 1: game him. Half of those yards were just blunt either

744
00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:01,239
Speaker 1: getting yards after contact, are making people miss. You can

745
00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:04,080
Speaker 1: tell when when he's on a roll because he just

746
00:36:04,120 --> 00:36:06,480
Speaker 1: tries to make someone miss every time. He'll he'll always

747
00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:08,360
Speaker 1: do He'll make two people miss and then try to

748
00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:10,000
Speaker 1: do it one more time, and then he'll get caught,

749
00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:11,880
Speaker 1: but it'll be like a nine yard game. But he

750
00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:15,000
Speaker 1: had an amazing game of just really his own play

751
00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:17,200
Speaker 1: versus the offensive line. And there's a moment where Nate

752
00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:22,000
Speaker 1: Solder is announced as eligible, breaks off from the tackle position,

753
00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:24,560
Speaker 1: catches a pass. There's no one even on the guy.

754
00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:27,000
Speaker 1: Both winning teams that they had an offensive tackle with

755
00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:30,440
Speaker 1: a K. I said to start the second half, this

756
00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:35,600
Speaker 1: drive will decide who wins this game. Remember that you laughed, Well,

757
00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:38,960
Speaker 1: it was first of all, it was fourteen seven with

758
00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:42,120
Speaker 1: five You weren't nervous, though, I wasn't overly nervous because

759
00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:43,880
Speaker 1: they look like the better team. But it was fourteen

760
00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:47,160
Speaker 1: seven with five minutes left in the second quarter, and

761
00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:50,200
Speaker 1: I thought that was such a classic sort of Patriots

762
00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:52,759
Speaker 1: way to handle the end of the half and the

763
00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:55,360
Speaker 1: start of the second half because they always defer and

764
00:36:55,440 --> 00:36:58,080
Speaker 1: they run out the clock. They do four or forty

765
00:36:58,080 --> 00:36:59,719
Speaker 1: five off the clock. They only get a field goal

766
00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:01,480
Speaker 1: to end the first half, but that's three points. They

767
00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:03,560
Speaker 1: get the ball to start the second half. It's third

768
00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:05,440
Speaker 1: and seven to start to drive. They pick it up

769
00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:08,000
Speaker 1: to Edelman who seemed like he had six or seven

770
00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:10,359
Speaker 1: third down convergence and they get the touch down there

771
00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:13,200
Speaker 1: and suddenly ten points are on the board before Andrew

772
00:37:13,239 --> 00:37:18,160
Speaker 1: Lucketts to touch the ball again, and it's over. You

773
00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:20,400
Speaker 1: do know it's over when they start getting like the

774
00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:24,120
Speaker 1: Mike Rabels or the Nate Soldiers into the mix. They love,

775
00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:26,640
Speaker 1: Oh my god, they bring out those old war horses

776
00:37:27,239 --> 00:37:29,399
Speaker 1: and it just it never ends. But yeah, how about

777
00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:32,440
Speaker 1: the Patriots. They get so Lagarrett Blunt goes from he

778
00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:35,880
Speaker 1: gets busted smoking pot in his car in training camp,

779
00:37:36,160 --> 00:37:39,200
Speaker 1: he gets cut for essentially quitting on his team midway

780
00:37:39,239 --> 00:37:42,239
Speaker 1: through the season at Pittsburgh signs of New England. And

781
00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:44,880
Speaker 1: the guy is a major impact player for a super

782
00:37:44,920 --> 00:37:47,239
Speaker 1: Bowl team. That that goes to show. I mean, that's

783
00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:49,080
Speaker 1: good job by the Patriots to being on top of

784
00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:51,120
Speaker 1: it to get him in their building. But also that

785
00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:55,040
Speaker 1: is fortuitous, Greg, of course it was lucky. It was great.

786
00:37:55,719 --> 00:37:58,920
Speaker 1: Well when you but no one, no one had wanted

787
00:37:59,080 --> 00:38:02,319
Speaker 1: Legarrett Blunt back then either, really they want him. I'll

788
00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:08,240
Speaker 1: go even further. It's wrong. It's wrong because no recourse.

789
00:38:08,840 --> 00:38:10,600
Speaker 1: They couldn't let him stay on the team the way

790
00:38:10,600 --> 00:38:12,840
Speaker 1: he was acting, so they have no recourse but to

791
00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:15,880
Speaker 1: dump him. And then he then the Patriots ride his

792
00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:19,000
Speaker 1: back to the Super Bowl. But what else do you want?

793
00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:22,560
Speaker 1: Because she could be rewarded for acting like a jerk.

794
00:38:23,080 --> 00:38:25,600
Speaker 1: He well, he's not. But the Patriots have done this

795
00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:28,480
Speaker 1: over and over. They take the other teams have problem

796
00:38:28,520 --> 00:38:30,880
Speaker 1: players that they can't control and have to let go,

797
00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:33,160
Speaker 1: and then they manage him. You haven't heard a peep

798
00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:37,080
Speaker 1: from there. If Jonathan Casillas holding up the a f

799
00:38:37,160 --> 00:38:39,839
Speaker 1: C Championship, Jeffrey, I'm like, well, this guy is pretty

800
00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:42,040
Speaker 1: lucky to get traded from the Bucks when they didn't

801
00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:44,640
Speaker 1: even have that good acumen by the Patriots saying this

802
00:38:44,680 --> 00:38:46,360
Speaker 1: guy can be a rule player and special team or

803
00:38:46,360 --> 00:38:48,360
Speaker 1: that can help us. Next year you'll have Josh Gordon,

804
00:38:48,440 --> 00:38:50,160
Speaker 1: so I'm sure you'll make him look good. I do

805
00:38:50,200 --> 00:38:52,600
Speaker 1: want to ask, well, maybe this is just I'm not

806
00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:55,560
Speaker 1: trying to be a jerk here, but oh, yes you are.

807
00:38:55,920 --> 00:38:58,880
Speaker 1: You haven't have to say that, yes, you are a

808
00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:03,920
Speaker 1: shaky qualifier. I'm not well, I'm a jerk. Uh was

809
00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:06,440
Speaker 1: there any thought Drell revs returning an interception in the

810
00:39:06,520 --> 00:39:09,160
Speaker 1: game like this the Patriots and whatnot? I don't know. No,

811
00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:11,880
Speaker 1: I had no problem. The only reason I didn't take

812
00:39:11,880 --> 00:39:13,279
Speaker 1: it to the houses because he's not as fast as

813
00:39:13,280 --> 00:39:16,320
Speaker 1: it used to be. But what I just saw portends

814
00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:18,279
Speaker 1: well for my Jets, because what's gonna happen is he's

815
00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:20,000
Speaker 1: gonna get his ring. Not that he's ever really been

816
00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:22,319
Speaker 1: about the ring. He's about the Benjamin's. We know that

817
00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:26,280
Speaker 1: about the Jets. That it portends to offer the Jets

818
00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:28,120
Speaker 1: that they get a ring. Though he gets the ring,

819
00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:30,840
Speaker 1: and then he has literally no incentive to be on

820
00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:34,000
Speaker 1: the Patriots anymore, and the Jets overpay grossly to bring

821
00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:36,400
Speaker 1: him back, and then he's a Jet and probably doesn't

822
00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:43,360
Speaker 1: strugging off the tampering charges they were knocked devastate. Incentive

823
00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:45,319
Speaker 1: is a good word. What incentive does Reeves have to

824
00:39:45,320 --> 00:39:49,839
Speaker 1: go back to the Jets without Rex Ryan money? Nah,

825
00:39:50,040 --> 00:39:52,200
Speaker 1: I don't think he's going breaking news. Darrell Reevas like

826
00:39:52,680 --> 00:39:55,359
Speaker 1: he'll be a buffalo is where he'll be. I don't

827
00:39:55,360 --> 00:39:57,880
Speaker 1: think he cared for the way Woody Johnson treating him. Yeah,

828
00:39:57,960 --> 00:40:00,480
Speaker 1: but anyway, Hey, by the way, do you know Greg

829
00:40:00,520 --> 00:40:02,960
Speaker 1: that this will be spin forward a little bit? We

830
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:05,000
Speaker 1: have two weeks to talk about the game. But the

831
00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:14,120
Speaker 1: you mad bro bowl, your mad bra I'm myra. This

832
00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:17,880
Speaker 1: is Richard star making performance in terms of the getting

833
00:40:17,880 --> 00:40:20,239
Speaker 1: in the media's I and West is already dreading this.

834
00:40:20,520 --> 00:40:24,759
Speaker 1: I don't want to hear his name. Why is he

835
00:40:24,840 --> 00:40:27,600
Speaker 1: now like a Swedish you know, an alien from Sweden?

836
00:40:27,719 --> 00:40:30,680
Speaker 1: Week five, two thousand twelve. I believe it was that

837
00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:33,600
Speaker 1: the comeback when for the Seattle Seahawks over the Patriots.

838
00:40:33,640 --> 00:40:36,120
Speaker 1: That's the last time they faced each other, and Sherman

839
00:40:36,120 --> 00:40:39,960
Speaker 1: gotten Brady's grill and said, Okay, no human speaks that way.

840
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:43,439
Speaker 1: I just that will be a major narrative and both

841
00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:45,040
Speaker 1: both guys will be asked about it. I'll tell you

842
00:40:45,080 --> 00:40:48,160
Speaker 1: those Greg, you know Tom Brady and I tweeted it

843
00:40:48,239 --> 00:40:50,759
Speaker 1: that guy's sneaky crazy Tom Brady in a good way.

844
00:40:50,760 --> 00:40:53,360
Speaker 1: I love Tom Brady despite being a jetsman. I respect

845
00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:56,400
Speaker 1: the guy. Uh sneaky crazy You know it burns him

846
00:40:56,480 --> 00:41:00,320
Speaker 1: up that he said that'll be a little extra crazy

847
00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:09,680
Speaker 1: on top of it. Nobody says Tom Brady probably. I

848
00:41:09,719 --> 00:41:12,080
Speaker 1: just do not understand how that's where you come with

849
00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:16,360
Speaker 1: this impression. I like that, You're ready two weeks of it.

850
00:41:17,239 --> 00:41:19,960
Speaker 1: I like it. I just think it's a dead off impression.

851
00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:23,400
Speaker 1: There's no would you say it. I'll let him say it.

852
00:41:23,560 --> 00:41:25,239
Speaker 1: You know, he'll be honking. There'll be a lot of

853
00:41:25,280 --> 00:41:28,880
Speaker 1: Seahawks honking and not a lot of Patriots thing about

854
00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:31,799
Speaker 1: that game in Week five. That was the birth of

855
00:41:31,840 --> 00:41:36,359
Speaker 1: the sexy deep at the game winner, and I was like,

856
00:41:36,400 --> 00:41:39,160
Speaker 1: oh my goodness, that game brought a ton of attention

857
00:41:39,200 --> 00:41:42,839
Speaker 1: to Seattle because they really sheltered Russell Wilson earlier. They

858
00:41:42,840 --> 00:41:45,040
Speaker 1: started to grow him a little bit. They were all

859
00:41:45,040 --> 00:41:47,759
Speaker 1: these huge write ups about that that clash. Maybe maybe

860
00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:50,360
Speaker 1: they should go call up their local wing stop and

861
00:41:50,400 --> 00:41:52,640
Speaker 1: see if Sydney Rice can play for them in this game.

862
00:41:53,200 --> 00:41:57,480
Speaker 1: You know what, that's what type of things. Sydney Rice

863
00:41:57,600 --> 00:42:00,080
Speaker 1: is owning some wingstops. You don't know. I thought you

864
00:42:00,200 --> 00:42:04,319
Speaker 1: said he would be an employee there during the off

865
00:42:04,360 --> 00:42:10,479
Speaker 1: seasons that I don't remember a podcast from a week ago.

866
00:42:10,560 --> 00:42:12,839
Speaker 1: It was actually one that Kevin Patra was on when

867
00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:16,600
Speaker 1: we were in that hideously cold studio during the World

868
00:42:16,600 --> 00:42:20,560
Speaker 1: Cup way back when I remember those those days that

869
00:42:20,680 --> 00:42:24,200
Speaker 1: are last Sunday show in the studio here. Yeah, I'm

870
00:42:24,200 --> 00:42:28,320
Speaker 1: sad about that last time hearing Franklin's Tower until next season. Yeah, actually,

871
00:42:28,320 --> 00:42:30,759
Speaker 1: we might have to make that, make that priority maybe

872
00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:35,200
Speaker 1: after the Super Bowl pod It's Yeah, it's a that's

873
00:42:35,200 --> 00:42:37,480
Speaker 1: a grateful dead song that we've used at the end

874
00:42:37,520 --> 00:42:39,160
Speaker 1: of each Sunday night shifted. On our way up to

875
00:42:39,200 --> 00:42:41,640
Speaker 1: the studio, I pull it up on my iTunes and

876
00:42:41,640 --> 00:42:44,200
Speaker 1: we listened to a little Dead a little Dead head up.

877
00:42:44,239 --> 00:42:46,520
Speaker 1: But Dan's only Dead Sun the only little song I

878
00:42:46,560 --> 00:42:49,520
Speaker 1: really know. I know that one in Touch a Gray

879
00:42:50,200 --> 00:42:53,360
Speaker 1: that being the seven year old and watching the skeletons

880
00:42:53,640 --> 00:42:56,719
Speaker 1: uh in the video. So anyway, Greg, is there anything

881
00:42:56,719 --> 00:42:58,080
Speaker 1: that you want to put a bow in that game?

882
00:42:58,560 --> 00:43:01,279
Speaker 1: Before we got to get out of here at some point? No,

883
00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:04,759
Speaker 1: I think I think I've made my bow. Well, let's

884
00:43:04,760 --> 00:43:09,440
Speaker 1: talk about let's do it. Let's talk about the reigning dynasty.

885
00:43:09,480 --> 00:43:13,320
Speaker 1: For the past thirteen years going up against the up dynasty.

886
00:43:14,440 --> 00:43:17,120
Speaker 1: Seven teams have gone have won back to back super Bowls.

887
00:43:17,120 --> 00:43:19,520
Speaker 1: The Seahawks have a chance to be the eighth and

888
00:43:19,560 --> 00:43:21,800
Speaker 1: all seven of those I think we would count as dynasty's.

889
00:43:21,920 --> 00:43:25,200
Speaker 1: And the last team to do it, obviously was the Patriots.

890
00:43:25,800 --> 00:43:28,400
Speaker 1: You get, you know, the best team of last decade,

891
00:43:28,440 --> 00:43:35,080
Speaker 1: certainly trying to stop a potential juggernaut for this decade. Absolutely,

892
00:43:35,120 --> 00:43:37,120
Speaker 1: it's a lot of fun. I mean, the fact it's

893
00:43:37,200 --> 00:43:40,000
Speaker 1: crazy that Brady is in his sixth super Bowl, that

894
00:43:40,160 --> 00:43:44,400
Speaker 1: that's the most for any quarterback. Belichick's in his sixth.

895
00:43:44,800 --> 00:43:46,480
Speaker 1: I mean, you're, well, we'll have a couple of weeks

896
00:43:46,480 --> 00:43:48,640
Speaker 1: to talk about all this sort of I threw up

897
00:43:48,640 --> 00:43:50,640
Speaker 1: a post four week camp, so there's seven things to watch,

898
00:43:50,680 --> 00:43:54,560
Speaker 1: and the one thing that jumped out was Bill Belichick

899
00:43:54,760 --> 00:43:56,960
Speaker 1: and Tom Brady, still at the height of his power,

900
00:43:57,000 --> 00:44:00,319
Speaker 1: is going against the Seahawks defense. And Michael Bennett was right,

901
00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:02,040
Speaker 1: and we talked about it this week or last week.

902
00:44:02,360 --> 00:44:04,880
Speaker 1: This is the best defensive a generation. We get to

903
00:44:04,920 --> 00:44:07,880
Speaker 1: see that on February one, with all the all these

904
00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:11,920
Speaker 1: legacy impacts on the line. It's uh, it's a great

905
00:44:11,920 --> 00:44:15,759
Speaker 1: super Bowl, it feels and I I know you'll you

906
00:44:15,760 --> 00:44:17,919
Speaker 1: guys will say, oh, there they go. Twelve and four

907
00:44:17,960 --> 00:44:22,000
Speaker 1: every year. But it feels as a Patriots fan, like, Okay,

908
00:44:22,080 --> 00:44:25,520
Speaker 1: they're returning to Phoenix, the scene of the crime of

909
00:44:25,560 --> 00:44:28,279
Speaker 1: the worst, you know, possible game that they ever had.

910
00:44:28,320 --> 00:44:30,400
Speaker 1: The first Super Bowl I covered, I was all excited

911
00:44:30,480 --> 00:44:33,040
Speaker 1: Randy Moss scored a touchdown on the end where I

912
00:44:33,120 --> 00:44:34,480
Speaker 1: was covering the game. I was like, oh, this is

913
00:44:34,480 --> 00:44:37,680
Speaker 1: pretty sweet. They lose that game, it feels like this

914
00:44:37,760 --> 00:44:40,440
Speaker 1: is their last chance to get that fourth Super Bowl

915
00:44:40,480 --> 00:44:43,919
Speaker 1: that that Brady has been wanting so badly. When until

916
00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:46,239
Speaker 1: next season. But when I left, when I left the

917
00:44:46,880 --> 00:44:50,359
Speaker 1: Patriots Giants the second time around, I left that night

918
00:44:50,440 --> 00:44:54,120
Speaker 1: thinking they're probably never gonna get back again, just because

919
00:44:54,160 --> 00:44:55,879
Speaker 1: if you look at the NFL history and you look

920
00:44:55,920 --> 00:44:59,239
Speaker 1: at Brady's age, most likely they're not going to get

921
00:44:59,280 --> 00:45:01,520
Speaker 1: back to have the a chance to go win it there,

922
00:45:01,600 --> 00:45:03,360
Speaker 1: and they're even less likely to have a lead in

923
00:45:03,400 --> 00:45:08,160
Speaker 1: the fact everybody under the bus after the game and

924
00:45:08,200 --> 00:45:11,399
Speaker 1: now and now here they are three years later, and

925
00:45:11,560 --> 00:45:14,279
Speaker 1: they do get back, but they're going up against what's

926
00:45:14,320 --> 00:45:17,799
Speaker 1: been a jugger, not of a team. It's father all,

927
00:45:18,160 --> 00:45:22,600
Speaker 1: father time stops us all. And that's why one thing, now,

928
00:45:22,719 --> 00:45:24,840
Speaker 1: I doesn't mean, you get it. If the Jets or Brown's,

929
00:45:24,920 --> 00:45:26,840
Speaker 1: if this tonight they had this one the a f

930
00:45:26,920 --> 00:45:30,279
Speaker 1: C Championship, I would we would be overturning cars and

931
00:45:30,960 --> 00:45:34,239
Speaker 1: setting fire to like rows of apartment buildings in l A.

932
00:45:34,680 --> 00:45:38,279
Speaker 1: What are you going to do? I wouldn't do that,

933
00:45:38,280 --> 00:45:39,759
Speaker 1: but I would if Mark wanted to do it, I

934
00:45:39,760 --> 00:45:42,879
Speaker 1: would do it. If I would cause total chaos. I mean,

935
00:45:42,920 --> 00:45:44,960
Speaker 1: I want to know what you're gonna do tonight. You

936
00:45:45,239 --> 00:45:47,440
Speaker 1: your team is in the super Bowl. How does Greg

937
00:45:47,560 --> 00:45:51,399
Speaker 1: Rosenthal celebrate this special? I'm gonna be moment. I'm gonna

938
00:45:51,440 --> 00:45:53,640
Speaker 1: be changing diapers at one or two in the morning.

939
00:45:53,800 --> 00:45:56,960
Speaker 1: This guy Walker's calm all day long and then overnight. Yeah,

940
00:45:57,120 --> 00:46:00,120
Speaker 1: he's just going crazy. So that's that's pretty much what

941
00:46:00,160 --> 00:46:02,640
Speaker 1: I'm doing. I got I got NFL now in the morning.

942
00:46:02,680 --> 00:46:04,719
Speaker 1: Now that you mentioned Walker. By the way, now I'm

943
00:46:04,719 --> 00:46:07,399
Speaker 1: feeling weird because I knew Mark instantly a new market

944
00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:11,040
Speaker 1: West made a terrible mistake going against Walker this week,

945
00:46:11,480 --> 00:46:13,480
Speaker 1: and now I don't know, I'm not sure where my

946
00:46:13,480 --> 00:46:15,560
Speaker 1: pick is, but now I feel nervous about going against

947
00:46:15,640 --> 00:46:19,680
Speaker 1: the Patriots doing that for the Wall with Walker and

948
00:46:19,719 --> 00:46:23,440
Speaker 1: play again for Posterity's sake on the website, which records

949
00:46:23,440 --> 00:46:26,080
Speaker 1: our pick I went with the Patriots. Oh you know

950
00:46:26,120 --> 00:46:29,040
Speaker 1: what you are? You are? You buried me last week

951
00:46:29,080 --> 00:46:30,680
Speaker 1: for doing this same thing. You have any kind of

952
00:46:30,680 --> 00:46:36,279
Speaker 1: confident call involved? Still, it's not a big difference. I was.

953
00:46:36,360 --> 00:46:38,680
Speaker 1: I admit to waffling on this game. I don't know.

954
00:46:39,320 --> 00:46:43,080
Speaker 1: I don't know, man, it's kind of similar. No, I

955
00:46:43,080 --> 00:46:47,160
Speaker 1: think the confident keep going against him, keep going again.

956
00:46:47,200 --> 00:46:48,759
Speaker 1: That's all I'm gonna say. I'm a little nervous now

957
00:46:48,800 --> 00:46:51,040
Speaker 1: if I was going to go against the Pats h TD.

958
00:46:51,120 --> 00:46:53,239
Speaker 1: Do you have anything else you wanted to? Oh? No,

959
00:46:53,280 --> 00:46:55,279
Speaker 1: I was wondering what else is going on with you guys? Man?

960
00:46:55,320 --> 00:46:57,440

972
00:47:31,320 --> 00:47:35,400
Speaker 1: raccoon is talking to a talking log. Okay, so hi,

973
00:47:36,719 --> 00:47:39,000
Speaker 1: I'm not going to watch something it's a little troublesome. No,

974
00:47:39,120 --> 00:47:40,600
Speaker 1: it is. It is. It is a little bit tricky,

975
00:47:40,600 --> 00:47:42,040
Speaker 1: even for me. It was the tricky to get into.

976
00:47:42,080 --> 00:47:43,760
