00:00:30,708 --> 00:00:33,428
Speaker 1: Boston College guy Will Blackman is singing the Irish song

7
00:00:33,788 --> 00:00:38,028
Speaker 1: Morning about It shortly, Well, you should be out of respect.

8
00:00:39,268 --> 00:00:39,588
Speaker 3: Listen.

9
00:00:39,828 --> 00:00:41,148
Speaker 2: We're gonna talk about the whole shortly.

10
00:00:41,188 --> 00:00:43,188
Speaker 1: But we have huge, huge news in the NFL, which

11
00:00:43,188 --> 00:00:45,508
Speaker 1: is why you're tuning in today. Huge trade went down

12
00:00:45,628 --> 00:00:48,628
Speaker 1: yesterday between two teams that I consider on the varsity

13
00:00:48,668 --> 00:00:51,108
Speaker 1: Mike irafollow two teams that really matter, Chiefs and Rams.

14
00:00:51,508 --> 00:00:54,628
Speaker 1: Kansas City sends all pro cornered Trent McDuffie all Pro

15
00:00:54,868 --> 00:00:58,148
Speaker 1: to the Rams for four draft picks. Big move by

16
00:00:58,188 --> 00:01:00,108
Speaker 1: Los Angeles seems to add another top defender of the

17
00:01:00,108 --> 00:01:01,988
Speaker 1: secondary and Mike just unpack it.

18
00:01:01,988 --> 00:01:03,148
Speaker 2: Give us the details on this one.

19
00:01:03,188 --> 00:01:07,668
Speaker 4: Yeah, bleep them pick yep two point zero for less

20
00:01:07,708 --> 00:01:10,388
Speaker 4: Need and the Los Angeles Rams saying we've got two

21
00:01:10,388 --> 00:01:12,548
Speaker 4: first round picks thanks to the trade we made last year,

22
00:01:13,108 --> 00:01:14,868
Speaker 4: so we're going to use one of them to acquire

23
00:01:14,908 --> 00:01:17,548
Speaker 4: a player and all pro player and less Need had

24
00:01:17,588 --> 00:01:19,428
Speaker 4: alluded to this the day before, so maybe you want

25
00:01:19,468 --> 00:01:22,228
Speaker 4: to acquire an all Pro player in the secondary. Because

26
00:01:22,228 --> 00:01:23,988
Speaker 4: he knew that this was potentially going down. So Trent

27
00:01:24,068 --> 00:01:26,948
Speaker 4: McDuffie heads to the Rams from the Chiefs. Was on

28
00:01:27,028 --> 00:01:28,868
Speaker 4: his fifth year option, his last year.

29
00:01:29,028 --> 00:01:29,548
Speaker 2: In his deal.

30
00:01:29,588 --> 00:01:32,908
Speaker 4: Now, the Chiefs right now are trying to clear not

31
00:01:32,908 --> 00:01:35,828
Speaker 4: trying to They aren't clearing salary cap space. They've got

32
00:01:35,868 --> 00:01:39,828
Speaker 4: to make some tough financial decisions. This was one of them,

33
00:01:40,108 --> 00:01:42,388
Speaker 4: Juwan Taylor being another one of them. They're going to

34
00:01:42,468 --> 00:01:45,148
Speaker 4: add they're going to be active in free agency, but

35
00:01:45,188 --> 00:01:47,068
Speaker 4: to make that happen, they've got to get that down.

36
00:01:47,108 --> 00:01:48,548
Speaker 4: They've got another corn I'm going to talk about in

37
00:01:48,548 --> 00:01:50,788
Speaker 4: the second that's also a free agent, So they've got upside.

38
00:01:50,788 --> 00:01:54,548
Speaker 4: How did they want to allocate these resources? So the

39
00:01:54,628 --> 00:01:57,948
Speaker 4: Chiefs get number twenty one overall. The three additional picks

40
00:01:57,948 --> 00:02:00,228
Speaker 4: are a fifth, a sixth this year, and a twenty

41
00:02:00,308 --> 00:02:03,268
Speaker 4: twenty seventh third round pick. That is quite the hall

42
00:02:03,428 --> 00:02:06,268
Speaker 4: for a player at a position who is going to

43
00:02:06,268 --> 00:02:08,388
Speaker 4: get a new contract with the Rams. That didn't happen

44
00:02:08,388 --> 00:02:09,868
Speaker 4: with the Chiefs could have happened as soon as last

45
00:02:09,908 --> 00:02:11,908
Speaker 4: year didn't happen. With the Chiefs is going to happen

46
00:02:11,908 --> 00:02:13,108
Speaker 4: with the Rams, and it is going to be a

47
00:02:13,108 --> 00:02:13,948
Speaker 4: big contract.

48
00:02:14,508 --> 00:02:15,308
Speaker 2: Our expectations.

49
00:02:15,308 --> 00:02:17,348
Speaker 4: That is going to make him the highest paid cornerback

50
00:02:17,348 --> 00:02:19,428
Speaker 4: in the league at thirty million dollars plus.

51
00:02:19,988 --> 00:02:21,268
Speaker 2: So that is in the offering.

52
00:02:21,308 --> 00:02:22,948
Speaker 4: This trade would not have been made if they didn't

53
00:02:22,988 --> 00:02:24,308
Speaker 4: think it was close to being done.

54
00:02:24,428 --> 00:02:25,908
Speaker 2: So look for that to happen in their future.

55
00:02:25,908 --> 00:02:28,468
Speaker 4: Trip McDuffie to the Rams and the Chiefs picking up

56
00:02:28,588 --> 00:02:29,188
Speaker 4: a lot of picks.

57
00:02:29,228 --> 00:02:31,268
Speaker 1: Well, there's the reason the Rams stay the Rams, and

58
00:02:31,308 --> 00:02:33,508
Speaker 1: they matter every single year. They have the coach, they

59
00:02:33,508 --> 00:02:36,108
Speaker 1: have the quarterback, and they have the rare GM who

60
00:02:36,148 --> 00:02:37,108
Speaker 1: has a catchphrase.

61
00:02:37,188 --> 00:02:38,628
Speaker 2: You don't see a lot of general matags.

62
00:02:38,668 --> 00:02:41,428
Speaker 1: In fact, I believe lesnin even has a coffee cup

63
00:02:41,468 --> 00:02:44,188
Speaker 1: that says that catchphrase on it and then you go

64
00:02:44,308 --> 00:02:44,988
Speaker 1: and back it up.

65
00:02:44,988 --> 00:02:45,708
Speaker 2: That is the brand.

66
00:02:45,748 --> 00:02:47,428
Speaker 1: He is not afraid to be aggressive and that's why

67
00:02:47,468 --> 00:02:50,188
Speaker 1: the Rams stay the Rams. But what do we think, guys,

68
00:02:50,388 --> 00:02:52,788
Speaker 1: the Chiefs give up a very good player. They're having

69
00:02:52,788 --> 00:02:54,508
Speaker 1: their own thing. Will take this anywhere you want? The

70
00:02:54,548 --> 00:02:56,228
Speaker 1: Rams angle the Chiefs wherever you want to go.

71
00:02:56,388 --> 00:02:57,988
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean with coach McVeigh.

72
00:02:58,028 --> 00:02:59,908
Speaker 5: This has been, you know, a common theme to go

73
00:02:59,948 --> 00:03:02,028
Speaker 5: ahead and get in a race on a defense side

74
00:03:02,028 --> 00:03:04,788
Speaker 5: of ball. When I was with him, Washington out of

75
00:03:04,788 --> 00:03:06,268
Speaker 5: nowhere went and got Josh Norman.

76
00:03:06,308 --> 00:03:07,508
Speaker 3: Wait, we went and got him.

77
00:03:07,308 --> 00:03:09,188
Speaker 5: And picked him up and signed him, giving big money.

78
00:03:09,348 --> 00:03:11,708
Speaker 5: But then with the Rams one time they went and

79
00:03:11,748 --> 00:03:13,668
Speaker 5: got a key to leave the way and got Marcus Peters.

80
00:03:13,668 --> 00:03:15,748
Speaker 5: Then they went and got Jalen Ramsey at one point.

81
00:03:15,788 --> 00:03:18,028
Speaker 5: So this is a common theme. And you look at,

82
00:03:18,348 --> 00:03:20,908
Speaker 5: you know, your rival across town over there in Seattle,

83
00:03:20,948 --> 00:03:22,748
Speaker 5: what JSN has done to them? I mean he has

84
00:03:22,828 --> 00:03:25,508
Speaker 5: games for nine catches for one on one oh five,

85
00:03:25,588 --> 00:03:29,068
Speaker 5: eight catches for ninety six, ten catches for one fifty

86
00:03:29,068 --> 00:03:32,028
Speaker 5: three to the TD in the playoffs. So you need

87
00:03:32,068 --> 00:03:34,788
Speaker 5: to find somebody who's in a racer and so yes,

88
00:03:34,908 --> 00:03:37,708
Speaker 5: you go and get Trent McDuffie. He's two time Super

89
00:03:37,708 --> 00:03:40,428
Speaker 5: Bowl champion, he's a two time All Pro player. He's

90
00:03:40,468 --> 00:03:43,708
Speaker 5: only twenty five years old. So you got somebody like that.

91
00:03:43,828 --> 00:03:46,468
Speaker 5: But that also I decided to look, I'm like, you

92
00:03:46,468 --> 00:03:50,028
Speaker 5: know what who who they just hired in the secondary,

93
00:03:50,028 --> 00:03:52,428
Speaker 5: And they hired Jimmy Lake. And so for those who

94
00:03:52,428 --> 00:03:55,348
Speaker 5: know Jimmy Lake, he's he is the architect of DBU

95
00:03:55,548 --> 00:03:58,108
Speaker 5: at the University of Washington. I reached out to coach

96
00:03:58,188 --> 00:04:00,148
Speaker 5: McVay last night to give him to get some insight

97
00:04:00,228 --> 00:04:02,588
Speaker 5: on why. He said, I love everything about Trep McDuffie.

98
00:04:02,748 --> 00:04:05,668
Speaker 5: He's competitive, his toughness, and him being familiar with coach

99
00:04:05,748 --> 00:04:08,468
Speaker 5: Jimmy Lake, so I'm sure they has some influence there.

100
00:04:08,508 --> 00:04:10,548
Speaker 5: Go get him and you look at some names Coach Lake,

101
00:04:10,588 --> 00:04:15,068
Speaker 5: coach Bhuda Baker, Marcus Peters, Elijah Molden, rat Taylor Ratt,

102
00:04:15,268 --> 00:04:17,788
Speaker 5: guys like that. So I think right now, you go

103
00:04:17,828 --> 00:04:20,188
Speaker 5: get somebody like chemany duffy too, do that. I mean,

104
00:04:20,188 --> 00:04:22,348
Speaker 5: they're already in prime position in Super Bowl ready, So

105
00:04:22,628 --> 00:04:24,428
Speaker 5: I definitely love this move for the Rams.

106
00:04:26,668 --> 00:04:29,908
Speaker 4: Well, now, if you're the Chiefs, and we saw Patrick

107
00:04:29,908 --> 00:04:32,948
Speaker 4: mahomes reaction on social media, which I believe was damn

108
00:04:33,588 --> 00:04:36,028
Speaker 4: and an ellipsis after that, and certainly the quarterback on

109
00:04:36,108 --> 00:04:39,668
Speaker 4: the other side of the ball not happy. Folks on

110
00:04:39,748 --> 00:04:40,828
Speaker 4: the defensive side of the.

111
00:04:40,748 --> 00:04:42,988
Speaker 2: Ball not happy as well. There it is.

112
00:04:45,028 --> 00:04:47,068
Speaker 4: It is a tough one for a lot of folks

113
00:04:47,068 --> 00:04:50,068
Speaker 4: there because of what Trent McDuffie meant to that defense

114
00:04:50,108 --> 00:04:51,668
Speaker 4: and how many people think he's one of the top

115
00:04:51,708 --> 00:04:54,108
Speaker 4: cornerbacks in the league. Certainly the Rams getting ready to

116
00:04:54,108 --> 00:04:57,148
Speaker 4: pay him like one. Now you've got to decide what

117
00:04:57,188 --> 00:04:59,028
Speaker 4: you want to do with Jalen Watson, who's also a

118
00:04:59,068 --> 00:05:01,228
Speaker 4: free agent at the cornerback position, and a guy that

119
00:05:01,348 --> 00:05:03,468
Speaker 4: is extremely highly thought of, and a guy that has

120
00:05:03,468 --> 00:05:07,108
Speaker 4: come along with secondary coach David Merritt, who I have known

121
00:05:07,148 --> 00:05:09,748
Speaker 4: for two decades since he was an assistant coach with Guyants,

122
00:05:09,748 --> 00:05:11,388
Speaker 4: who's not a fantastic job back.

123
00:05:11,268 --> 00:05:11,948
Speaker 3: There as my coach.

124
00:05:12,068 --> 00:05:14,268
Speaker 2: Sometimes maybe you're too good. You make them.

125
00:05:14,068 --> 00:05:16,588
Speaker 4: Think that you could have Will Blackman knows what I'm

126
00:05:16,588 --> 00:05:18,948
Speaker 4: talking about. You make them think you can make chicken

127
00:05:18,988 --> 00:05:19,868
Speaker 4: salad out of you know what.

128
00:05:20,068 --> 00:05:20,908
Speaker 2: Well, this might be.

129
00:05:20,828 --> 00:05:23,668
Speaker 4: The case here, especially if you lose both quarterbacks here, if.

130
00:05:23,548 --> 00:05:25,108
Speaker 1: You trade one away and lose one in free agency.

131
00:05:25,148 --> 00:05:27,148
Speaker 4: So the Chiefs are going to make around at Jalen Watson,

132
00:05:27,188 --> 00:05:29,988
Speaker 4: who has really come along as a complete cornerback, can

133
00:05:29,988 --> 00:05:33,228
Speaker 4: now show that he can do a little bit of everything.

134
00:05:33,268 --> 00:05:35,628
Speaker 4: He's got length, he's got speed, he can play press,

135
00:05:36,068 --> 00:05:39,428
Speaker 4: he can tackle. His instincts have come along again thanks

136
00:05:39,428 --> 00:05:41,348
Speaker 4: to the tutelage of Merit in the back there, and

137
00:05:41,508 --> 00:05:44,628
Speaker 4: Steve Spagnolo is the defensive coordinator as well. So I'm

138
00:05:44,668 --> 00:05:46,948
Speaker 4: really now looking to see what they are gonna do

139
00:05:47,028 --> 00:05:49,308
Speaker 4: with Watson, who's a free agent who's gonna make a

140
00:05:49,308 --> 00:05:50,908
Speaker 4: lot of money. And maybe that was part of it,

141
00:05:50,948 --> 00:05:52,868
Speaker 4: Maybe the Chiefs saying we've got to clear some space

142
00:05:52,948 --> 00:05:54,868
Speaker 4: because this is one of the guys that we have

143
00:05:54,908 --> 00:05:57,108
Speaker 4: to pay. Keep an eye to see how that goes

144
00:05:57,348 --> 00:05:58,748
Speaker 4: for Watson here in the coming days.

145
00:05:58,788 --> 00:06:00,908
Speaker 6: Mat time, Nike, Gee, it's so funny that you bring

146
00:06:00,988 --> 00:06:03,668
Speaker 6: up that Patrick Mahomes tweet. And I know Patrick Mahomes

147
00:06:03,668 --> 00:06:06,628
Speaker 6: represents one team, right. I think the other thirty are

148
00:06:06,668 --> 00:06:09,748
Speaker 6: saying what Jesse said, Jesse Pingman said where he says

149
00:06:09,788 --> 00:06:12,108
Speaker 6: he can't keep getting away with this. The Rams keep

150
00:06:12,148 --> 00:06:14,148
Speaker 6: getting away with it every single year. I mean they

151
00:06:14,148 --> 00:06:17,588
Speaker 6: did that with DeVante Adams last year. But this type

152
00:06:17,628 --> 00:06:20,988
Speaker 6: of trade is the reason why guys like the Rams

153
00:06:21,028 --> 00:06:24,468
Speaker 6: and the NFC West continue to dominate the NFL. There's

154
00:06:24,468 --> 00:06:27,348
Speaker 6: a symmetry in an alignment between the general manager and

155
00:06:27,388 --> 00:06:29,268
Speaker 6: the head coach as far as the values and the

156
00:06:29,348 --> 00:06:31,348
Speaker 6: vision that they have for their team. When you look

157
00:06:31,388 --> 00:06:33,348
Speaker 6: at the Rams, less needed than Sean McVay. You look

158
00:06:33,348 --> 00:06:35,668
Speaker 6: at the Niners, John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan and even

159
00:06:35,788 --> 00:06:37,788
Speaker 6: you know down to Seattle, the super Bowl, the Super

160
00:06:37,788 --> 00:06:40,428
Speaker 6: Bowl champs, John Schneider, Mike McDonald.

161
00:06:40,548 --> 00:06:43,708
Speaker 2: Pete Carroll before that. This happens every single year. I

162
00:06:43,708 --> 00:06:44,788
Speaker 2: want you guys to see this.

163
00:06:44,868 --> 00:06:47,628
Speaker 6: For the past fifteen years, this whole dominant the NFC

164
00:06:47,708 --> 00:06:52,948
Speaker 6: West has been in the NFL guys first, win percentage first,

165
00:06:52,948 --> 00:06:56,388
Speaker 6: the differential first, and the NFC North is second in

166
00:06:56,468 --> 00:06:58,948
Speaker 6: that category at six eighty seven. That's almost half the

167
00:06:58,948 --> 00:07:02,748
Speaker 6: point differential, playoff wins first, the next the next division

168
00:07:02,908 --> 00:07:07,108
Speaker 6: has ten less wins, conference titles, super Bowl appearances, whatever

169
00:07:07,148 --> 00:07:07,948
Speaker 6: you want to call it.

170
00:07:07,948 --> 00:07:09,948
Speaker 2: First super Bowl wins type.

171
00:07:09,988 --> 00:07:12,868
Speaker 6: For a second, the only team that the only division

172
00:07:12,868 --> 00:07:13,548
Speaker 6: that has more.

173
00:07:13,388 --> 00:07:16,468
Speaker 2: Super Bowl wins is the AFC West And a lot

174
00:07:16,468 --> 00:07:17,668
Speaker 2: of that has to do with the Chiefs.

175
00:07:17,748 --> 00:07:20,028
Speaker 6: So when you think about this type of trade, guys,

176
00:07:20,668 --> 00:07:24,988
Speaker 6: there's no secret why that division, that the NFC West

177
00:07:25,028 --> 00:07:26,988
Speaker 6: continues to be the juggernaut that they are.

178
00:07:27,068 --> 00:07:28,468
Speaker 2: They do these types of moves.

179
00:07:28,508 --> 00:07:31,388
Speaker 6: Why Because there is a symmetry and a cohesion with

180
00:07:31,468 --> 00:07:33,388
Speaker 6: the general manager and the head coach.

181
00:07:33,468 --> 00:07:35,108
Speaker 2: They had the same vision for their team.

182
00:07:35,308 --> 00:07:37,268
Speaker 6: They had the same goals for their team, and they

183
00:07:37,308 --> 00:07:39,588
Speaker 6: make picks like this and trays like this that.

184
00:07:39,508 --> 00:07:42,588
Speaker 2: Continue their dominance KB in the NFL.

185
00:07:43,068 --> 00:07:45,988
Speaker 1: What I love about the Rams in this moment, in

186
00:07:46,028 --> 00:07:48,868
Speaker 1: every moment, just as an organization, is it good enough?

187
00:07:48,948 --> 00:07:50,028
Speaker 2: Is never good enough?

188
00:07:50,468 --> 00:07:53,548
Speaker 1: You have to understand in the NFL a lot of times,

189
00:07:53,588 --> 00:07:56,108
Speaker 1: and I think there are organizations like this where oh

190
00:07:56,188 --> 00:07:59,788
Speaker 1: we made the playoffs. Great, everybody keeps their jobs. We

191
00:07:59,868 --> 00:08:02,228
Speaker 1: can just run this back for another year. Our kids

192
00:08:02,228 --> 00:08:04,868
Speaker 1: don't have to move everything. Just keep the keep the

193
00:08:04,908 --> 00:08:07,428
Speaker 1: train on the tracks, and that's fine. Sean McVay does

194
00:08:07,468 --> 00:08:10,628
Speaker 1: not play that. Sean McVay is always pissed when they

195
00:08:10,628 --> 00:08:12,668
Speaker 1: don't win the Super Bowl. I think that was the

196
00:08:12,708 --> 00:08:15,988
Speaker 1: most devastating loss of his career to Seattle on the playoffs,

197
00:08:16,068 --> 00:08:18,268
Speaker 1: maybe aside from the Super Bowl to the Patriots. I

198
00:08:18,348 --> 00:08:20,708
Speaker 1: knew he had a Super Bowl team. He knew he

199
00:08:20,748 --> 00:08:22,748
Speaker 1: had a Super Bowl team. They lost to Seattle, and

200
00:08:22,748 --> 00:08:24,588
Speaker 1: they would have destroyed New England in the Super Bowl

201
00:08:24,588 --> 00:08:27,068
Speaker 1: if the Rams got there. So you keep the team right,

202
00:08:27,108 --> 00:08:30,268
Speaker 1: it's fine. No, it's never good enough. He always is

203
00:08:30,308 --> 00:08:32,468
Speaker 1: looking how do we get better? Up to the point

204
00:08:32,468 --> 00:08:34,028
Speaker 1: where a couple of years ago he fired a bunch

205
00:08:34,068 --> 00:08:36,548
Speaker 1: of coaches. How about the fact that Sean McVay, in

206
00:08:36,588 --> 00:08:38,548
Speaker 1: the middle of his career said, I don't want to

207
00:08:38,548 --> 00:08:39,908
Speaker 1: play with Jared Goff anymore. I don't know I can

208
00:08:39,908 --> 00:08:41,948
Speaker 1: win a super Bowl with him. Nobody would have done that.

209
00:08:42,108 --> 00:08:44,708
Speaker 2: You stick with golf, he's good, you ride that train.

210
00:08:45,268 --> 00:08:45,988
Speaker 2: Not good enough.

211
00:08:46,828 --> 00:08:49,948
Speaker 1: I think Sean McVay feels like it's excruciating since he's

212
00:08:49,988 --> 00:08:51,588
Speaker 1: last been to a Super Bowl. He thinks he should

213
00:08:51,628 --> 00:08:54,188
Speaker 1: be going every year, every other year, and it's been

214
00:08:54,228 --> 00:08:56,748
Speaker 1: a while since they played Cincinnati in that Super Bowl,

215
00:08:56,828 --> 00:08:59,268
Speaker 1: and I think it's killing him. And meanwhile, this guy

216
00:08:59,308 --> 00:09:02,188
Speaker 1: has any offer. He wants to go do media and

217
00:09:02,268 --> 00:09:04,508
Speaker 1: make millions and millions of bucks, but he's like he

218
00:09:04,588 --> 00:09:07,148
Speaker 1: wants that bleeping Super Bowl man. And I feel like

219
00:09:07,188 --> 00:09:09,908
Speaker 1: it was absolutely torture that they lost that game to

220
00:09:09,948 --> 00:09:11,548
Speaker 1: seatt On and we read it on his face on

221
00:09:11,548 --> 00:09:14,068
Speaker 1: the sideline. So instead of well, let's just try it

222
00:09:14,108 --> 00:09:17,068
Speaker 1: again one more year with Matthew, he goes up to last.

223
00:09:17,108 --> 00:09:19,948
Speaker 1: So whoever the communication is, he is, just get me somebody.

224
00:09:19,948 --> 00:09:21,628
Speaker 1: The secondary needs to be better. Get me an all

225
00:09:21,628 --> 00:09:24,948
Speaker 1: pro trade. Whatever, I don't care. I love that most

226
00:09:24,988 --> 00:09:27,548
Speaker 1: teams come from a place of if we're good, let's

227
00:09:27,588 --> 00:09:31,628
Speaker 1: just stay good. McVay goes, we're really good. I want

228
00:09:31,668 --> 00:09:34,388
Speaker 1: to be great, and you have to respect that. It's him,

229
00:09:34,628 --> 00:09:37,468
Speaker 1: it's less, it's everybody there. They were not good with

230
00:09:37,548 --> 00:09:39,908
Speaker 1: being good team and that's why every single year they matter.

231
00:09:40,108 --> 00:09:43,828
Speaker 4: They are going for it big time right now, which

232
00:09:43,868 --> 00:09:46,468
Speaker 4: I find fastin. I find the whole rams what part

233
00:09:46,468 --> 00:09:51,068
Speaker 4: fascinating because some teams might say we just drafted a

234
00:09:51,068 --> 00:09:54,228
Speaker 4: bunch of guys, even in the later rounds, because despite

235
00:09:54,348 --> 00:09:55,868
Speaker 4: getting rid of a lot of picks, they still have

236
00:09:55,988 --> 00:09:59,228
Speaker 4: hit on surprise. I mean Pooka Nakua, k Kobe Turner,

237
00:09:59,348 --> 00:10:02,788
Speaker 4: Byron Young, let's keep going here, Jared Vers, Braden Fisk.

238
00:10:03,068 --> 00:10:06,068
Speaker 4: These are the corner stone of their defense and of

239
00:10:06,108 --> 00:10:08,308
Speaker 4: their team right now that they are going to have

240
00:10:08,348 --> 00:10:10,588
Speaker 4: to pay in the near future. Cam Curl, who's the

241
00:10:10,628 --> 00:10:12,228
Speaker 4: guy they signed to a two year deal a couple

242
00:10:12,228 --> 00:10:14,108
Speaker 4: of years ago, is a free agent at the safety

243
00:10:14,108 --> 00:10:16,988
Speaker 4: position after they already paid Quinton Lake just a couple

244
00:10:16,988 --> 00:10:19,788
Speaker 4: of months ago, and now they are intending, my understanding,

245
00:10:19,828 --> 00:10:22,548
Speaker 4: to pay Cam Curl some big money as well.

246
00:10:22,588 --> 00:10:23,428
Speaker 2: There's a lot of money.

247
00:10:23,468 --> 00:10:25,988
Speaker 4: Some teams might say, we got to pay all these guys,

248
00:10:26,028 --> 00:10:28,508
Speaker 4: we can't beat. The Rams said, no, we're taking on

249
00:10:28,548 --> 00:10:31,588
Speaker 4: Trent McDuffie. We're trading these picks here and then we're

250
00:10:31,588 --> 00:10:34,948
Speaker 4: gonna pay this guy huge money coming forward. They are

251
00:10:35,028 --> 00:10:37,028
Speaker 4: going for a big time. They're saying, we're gonna have

252
00:10:37,068 --> 00:10:38,868
Speaker 4: these contracts coming up. But right now, we still have

253
00:10:38,908 --> 00:10:41,268
Speaker 4: this little window here. Now, the other piece that has

254
00:10:41,308 --> 00:10:43,668
Speaker 4: to fit in here is what's Matthew Stafford going to

255
00:10:43,708 --> 00:10:46,708
Speaker 4: play for this year and what's the understanding there, Because

256
00:10:46,828 --> 00:10:48,908
Speaker 4: if you're going to wind up paying him top dollar,

257
00:10:49,268 --> 00:10:51,508
Speaker 4: that's gonna hurt your ability to do some other things

258
00:10:51,548 --> 00:10:54,228
Speaker 4: as well. I've heard some things that Stafford wants to

259
00:10:54,228 --> 00:10:56,148
Speaker 4: make sure that it's manageable for him because he wants

260
00:10:56,188 --> 00:10:58,388
Speaker 4: the Rams to have the flexibility to be able to

261
00:10:58,428 --> 00:11:01,468
Speaker 4: do these types of things. So I'm watching the Rams

262
00:11:01,468 --> 00:11:02,348
Speaker 4: over the next week or so.

263
00:11:02,948 --> 00:11:04,348
Speaker 2: They're not done by any stretch.

264
00:11:04,388 --> 00:11:06,188
Speaker 4: They're going to continue to be aggressive and they could

265
00:11:06,268 --> 00:11:07,468
Speaker 4: build themselves the Juggernaut.

266
00:11:07,548 --> 00:11:09,908
Speaker 1: Remember when they did the first Bleep Them Ticks thing,

267
00:11:10,028 --> 00:11:11,788
Speaker 1: there was this whole thing about, well let's all come

268
00:11:11,788 --> 00:11:13,828
Speaker 1: home to roost and after this, they're gonna suck for

269
00:11:13,868 --> 00:11:14,348
Speaker 1: like three years.

270
00:11:14,388 --> 00:11:16,348
Speaker 2: No, they didn't know, They don't, They don't ever.

271
00:11:16,548 --> 00:11:21,148
Speaker 1: They always matter and Mantai, you know, anybody please this year,

272
00:11:21,188 --> 00:11:22,908
Speaker 1: if you work in sports media and you get to

273
00:11:22,908 --> 00:11:25,148
Speaker 1: September and it's time to pick your playoff teams, just

274
00:11:25,188 --> 00:11:27,348
Speaker 1: put the Rams in every single year, put them in

275
00:11:27,828 --> 00:11:29,668
Speaker 1: and put the Steelers into the AFC, in the Rams

276
00:11:29,708 --> 00:11:32,348
Speaker 1: in the NFC. They're very different, but they're always in

277
00:11:32,388 --> 00:11:35,028
Speaker 1: the playoffs. Even with Mike McCarthy, doesn't change manti You.

278
00:11:35,068 --> 00:11:35,748
Speaker 3: Know, yeah, we know.

279
00:11:36,188 --> 00:11:38,908
Speaker 6: We also know because we went to the NFL Honors

280
00:11:39,068 --> 00:11:42,068
Speaker 6: Award show and it was funny when Matt Stafford announces

281
00:11:42,068 --> 00:11:44,908
Speaker 6: after Humans the MVP, like I'm coming back for another year.

282
00:11:44,948 --> 00:11:48,388
Speaker 6: You see poking the cool celebrating and Sean McVay and

283
00:11:48,548 --> 00:11:50,748
Speaker 6: I'm sure that Sean McVay and less Need gave one

284
00:11:50,748 --> 00:11:53,148
Speaker 6: of those where Matt Stafford City was coming back and

285
00:11:53,188 --> 00:11:54,828
Speaker 6: they looked at each other like this and we're like,

286
00:11:55,468 --> 00:11:59,148
Speaker 6: it's about to go down. Called Trent McDuffie were trading

287
00:11:59,148 --> 00:12:01,588
Speaker 6: for him right now. There is a window of opportunity,

288
00:12:01,628 --> 00:12:03,628
Speaker 6: Mike g you mentioned it. There's a window of opportunity.

289
00:12:03,668 --> 00:12:05,948
Speaker 6: A very slim one and with their quarterback who has

290
00:12:05,988 --> 00:12:07,988
Speaker 6: been one of the best in the league to take

291
00:12:08,028 --> 00:12:10,828
Speaker 6: advantage of that right, and so when you have that window,

292
00:12:11,468 --> 00:12:13,228
Speaker 6: teams like the Rams and Less need it was like,

293
00:12:13,268 --> 00:12:15,548
Speaker 6: we're going to just throw everything at this so that

294
00:12:15,588 --> 00:12:18,428
Speaker 6: we could be over here and so far again and

295
00:12:18,468 --> 00:12:19,668
Speaker 6: hopefully win another Simo Bowl.

296
00:12:22,108 --> 00:12:25,028
Speaker 1: All right, Yesterday afternoon was pretty exciting online and on

297
00:12:25,108 --> 00:12:26,908
Speaker 1: TV and everything because we saw something we haven't seen

298
00:12:26,908 --> 00:12:29,388
Speaker 1: it in a while, which is Aaron Rodgers showing up

299
00:12:29,428 --> 00:12:30,908
Speaker 1: on the Pat McFee show like he used to do

300
00:12:30,988 --> 00:12:32,308
Speaker 1: all the time. There was a little bit of a

301
00:12:32,308 --> 00:12:34,708
Speaker 1: reunion and like, oh, Rogers is on. Packed did a

302
00:12:34,708 --> 00:12:37,908
Speaker 1: wonderful job with talking to him, and if you didn't

303
00:12:37,908 --> 00:12:41,188
Speaker 1: see it, Rogers is back, and it all feels very familiar.

304
00:12:41,228 --> 00:12:41,748
Speaker 2: Here's a piece.

305
00:12:43,148 --> 00:12:45,988
Speaker 7: There hasn't been any progressive conversations. You know, I love Mike,

306
00:12:46,028 --> 00:12:48,268
Speaker 7: and Mike and I have kept contact over the years.

307
00:12:48,268 --> 00:12:51,028
Speaker 7: I've I've you know, had conversations with Omar. I really

308
00:12:51,628 --> 00:12:54,868
Speaker 7: you know, I think Omar you know, enjoyed, enjoyed having

309
00:12:54,908 --> 00:12:56,828
Speaker 7: me there. I think the guys you know, had a

310
00:12:56,828 --> 00:13:02,668
Speaker 7: positive response, you know, to our time together. But but again,

311
00:13:02,668 --> 00:13:05,028
Speaker 7: there hasn't beny deadlines set on me. There hasn't been

312
00:13:05,068 --> 00:13:08,228
Speaker 7: any contract, you know, floated in front of me for

313
00:13:08,308 --> 00:13:10,468
Speaker 7: me to like, well, we're giving you till, you know,

314
00:13:10,668 --> 00:13:13,148
Speaker 7: March to eight to make a decision on this contract.

315
00:13:13,148 --> 00:13:15,348
Speaker 7: There's been nothing to that respect.

316
00:13:17,788 --> 00:13:20,908
Speaker 2: I love the wired headphones. I feel like he maybe

317
00:13:20,948 --> 00:13:21,628
Speaker 2: buy into.

318
00:13:21,508 --> 00:13:24,148
Speaker 1: The conspiracy about the Bluetooth infecting your brain, which a

319
00:13:24,188 --> 00:13:25,108
Speaker 1: lot of people are, Oh.

320
00:13:25,188 --> 00:13:26,948
Speaker 2: Yeah, he talked about it yesterday.

321
00:13:26,948 --> 00:13:29,148
Speaker 4: He said, now he's got other guys wearing wired phones

322
00:13:29,148 --> 00:13:29,868
Speaker 4: inside the Steelers.

323
00:13:30,028 --> 00:13:32,988
Speaker 1: That happens a lot too, you know. I Caleb Williams

324
00:13:33,028 --> 00:13:35,028
Speaker 1: believes in that too. He where's the wired and look

325
00:13:35,108 --> 00:13:37,788
Speaker 1: see like that's not him being old fashion whatever. There's

326
00:13:37,828 --> 00:13:39,948
Speaker 1: a lot of people who believe that the Bluetooth or

327
00:13:39,988 --> 00:13:40,668
Speaker 1: the wireless, Like.

328
00:13:40,748 --> 00:13:43,428
Speaker 4: Rob and I had a whole conversation one days thoughts

329
00:13:43,468 --> 00:13:45,708
Speaker 4: he would only wear one, and he's like, because if

330
00:13:45,748 --> 00:13:47,428
Speaker 4: you got two, it's going through your brain.

331
00:13:51,148 --> 00:13:52,868
Speaker 1: I have one of those head bands. Looks like an

332
00:13:52,948 --> 00:13:56,228
Speaker 1: arrow is going through my brand are always fun, all right, listen,

333
00:13:57,108 --> 00:13:59,708
Speaker 1: so listen, let's just just for the sake of time

334
00:13:59,788 --> 00:14:02,188
Speaker 1: marking this thing. Last year, Rogers didn't sign with the

335
00:14:02,188 --> 00:14:06,388
Speaker 1: Steelers until June. Okay, early, we're in March. That's June

336
00:14:06,468 --> 00:14:08,188
Speaker 1: is an eternity away from here. And he made it

337
00:14:08,268 --> 00:14:10,988
Speaker 1: very clear yesterday with Pat that if anyone is tuning

338
00:14:11,028 --> 00:14:12,828
Speaker 1: in to hear him make an announcement about his future,

339
00:14:12,828 --> 00:14:15,268
Speaker 1: they can tune out because that's not going to happen. Mike,

340
00:14:15,348 --> 00:14:17,188
Speaker 1: aside from the headphones, what do you make of what

341
00:14:17,228 --> 00:14:19,068
Speaker 1: you saw yesterday and the idea that he may or

342
00:14:19,108 --> 00:14:20,628
Speaker 1: may not play with the Steelers in twenty twenty six.

343
00:14:20,748 --> 00:14:27,028
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think he's still heading toward that direction.

344
00:14:27,108 --> 00:14:28,868
Speaker 2: I really do. And that's just me. That's just me.

345
00:14:28,988 --> 00:14:31,308
Speaker 2: The direction I'm playing, a direction I'm playing I do.

346
00:14:31,428 --> 00:14:33,428
Speaker 4: I mean, if not for the Mike mccarth, it would

347
00:14:33,428 --> 00:14:36,708
Speaker 4: be a totally different story if it wasn't Mike McCarthy,

348
00:14:36,908 --> 00:14:39,348
Speaker 4: like I think it would be the sale into the Sunset.

349
00:14:39,428 --> 00:14:42,228
Speaker 1: Yep. This allows for a lot of things.

350
00:14:42,308 --> 00:14:46,268
Speaker 4: This allows for storylines, the chance to rewrite endings, and

351
00:14:46,268 --> 00:14:48,188
Speaker 4: he's asked about that yesterday. It didn't seem like he

352
00:14:48,228 --> 00:14:50,028
Speaker 4: was necessarily so much into that, but I think that

353
00:14:50,028 --> 00:14:50,828
Speaker 4: that's something for him.

354
00:14:51,188 --> 00:14:51,788
Speaker 2: I think it's.

355
00:14:51,668 --> 00:14:53,828
Speaker 4: Important to, you know, sort of put a bowl on it.

356
00:14:53,868 --> 00:14:58,468
Speaker 4: This feels like closure. This feels like a completion. And

357
00:14:58,788 --> 00:15:00,748
Speaker 4: I just think that he enjoyed. I mean, he was

358
00:15:00,788 --> 00:15:03,708
Speaker 4: on there for it was at least an hour, right,

359
00:15:03,788 --> 00:15:05,548
Speaker 4: it was over because at some point here it is

360
00:15:05,548 --> 00:15:08,068
Speaker 4: here's the text from Ian yesterday. This was a three

361
00:15:08,228 --> 00:15:09,308
Speaker 4: twenty two eastern.

362
00:15:09,428 --> 00:15:10,028
Speaker 2: He started.

363
00:15:10,188 --> 00:15:11,468
Speaker 4: It was supposed to be two o five. I think

364
00:15:11,468 --> 00:15:13,108
Speaker 4: it was like two ten, two fifteen. It was over

365
00:15:13,108 --> 00:15:13,428
Speaker 4: an hour.

366
00:15:13,708 --> 00:15:14,668
Speaker 1: Rogers is still on.

367
00:15:14,828 --> 00:15:16,068
Speaker 2: I was like what? And I loved that.

368
00:15:16,228 --> 00:15:18,148
Speaker 4: Yes, he was still on, still talking to have been

369
00:15:18,188 --> 00:15:21,108
Speaker 4: a while yesterday. So I think that there's still an

370
00:15:21,188 --> 00:15:23,748
Speaker 4: enjoyment of everything that goes into it. And he said,

371
00:15:23,988 --> 00:15:25,908
Speaker 4: you won't see me when I'm retired. So if that's

372
00:15:25,948 --> 00:15:27,588
Speaker 4: the case, and you enjoyed talking for an hour and

373
00:15:27,668 --> 00:15:30,508
Speaker 4: that could be playing is the key to that, well,

374
00:15:30,588 --> 00:15:32,108
Speaker 4: I just feel like it's still heading in that dream.

375
00:15:32,388 --> 00:15:33,468
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree with you, Mike.

376
00:15:33,588 --> 00:15:35,668
Speaker 5: I mean you look at you know, just D two

377
00:15:35,708 --> 00:15:39,668
Speaker 5: in general. I mean when Aaron Rodgers was there, Mike McCarthy,

378
00:15:39,748 --> 00:15:41,748
Speaker 5: My first year was the year same Mike McCarthy game.

379
00:15:41,828 --> 00:15:44,908
Speaker 5: And Mike pretty much is the one who raised Aaron

380
00:15:44,988 --> 00:15:47,908
Speaker 5: Rodgers into the quarterback he is now. And then when

381
00:15:47,948 --> 00:15:50,468
Speaker 5: that breakup happened, I'm pretty sure like when they had

382
00:15:50,548 --> 00:15:53,388
Speaker 5: when he mentioned they had those conversations at Lambeau in

383
00:15:53,428 --> 00:15:56,468
Speaker 5: the sewing room. You know, this was probably like in

384
00:15:56,508 --> 00:15:58,388
Speaker 5: the future of like, hey, if we can finally find

385
00:15:58,388 --> 00:16:00,268
Speaker 5: a way to get back together and figure this thing

386
00:16:00,308 --> 00:16:02,948
Speaker 5: out and reconnect, it'll be awesome. And I think this

387
00:16:03,028 --> 00:16:05,708
Speaker 5: is the situation now where Yeah, he's just chilling right now,

388
00:16:05,708 --> 00:16:07,748
Speaker 5: he's enjoying his time off, and I'm pretty sure he's

389
00:16:07,748 --> 00:16:08,788
Speaker 5: gonna come back and play with Mike.

390
00:16:08,988 --> 00:16:10,548
Speaker 6: Well, when I look at this thing, we had a

391
00:16:10,588 --> 00:16:12,828
Speaker 6: segment yesterday right where we talked about high school and

392
00:16:12,828 --> 00:16:14,508
Speaker 6: if there's something in high school you want to go

393
00:16:14,588 --> 00:16:17,708
Speaker 6: back and relive. This kind of reminds me of prom guys,

394
00:16:17,748 --> 00:16:20,668
Speaker 6: like when prom will come around. In this case, we'll

395
00:16:20,668 --> 00:16:22,868
Speaker 6: call you got the homie named Omar and you're like,

396
00:16:23,428 --> 00:16:25,708
Speaker 6: Omar has been talking to this girl named Erin for

397
00:16:26,268 --> 00:16:27,668
Speaker 6: less than a year and you're like, Ohm, are you

398
00:16:27,748 --> 00:16:30,748
Speaker 6: going to ask Aaron to prom? And he like, yeah,

399
00:16:30,748 --> 00:16:33,148
Speaker 6: we talked, she knows how I feel about her, and

400
00:16:33,188 --> 00:16:36,428
Speaker 6: we're like, Bro, problems in like three weeks. Bro, there's plans.

401
00:16:36,428 --> 00:16:39,188
Speaker 6: You got to make tucks Colors, dinner, Limo, all of

402
00:16:39,228 --> 00:16:43,588
Speaker 6: that stuff. Meanwhile, Aaron got a friend named Patty last

403
00:16:43,628 --> 00:16:45,828
Speaker 6: named McAfee, who's like, Aaron, aren't you going.

404
00:16:45,748 --> 00:16:46,668
Speaker 2: To prom with Omar?

405
00:16:46,908 --> 00:16:50,308
Speaker 6: And Aaron looks at Patty is like, he hasn't even

406
00:16:50,348 --> 00:16:52,988
Speaker 6: asked me yet. And so you're stuck in this limbo

407
00:16:53,148 --> 00:16:55,388
Speaker 6: of like, Bro, when are you going to ask.

408
00:16:55,268 --> 00:16:56,028
Speaker 2: Aaron to prom?

409
00:16:56,068 --> 00:16:58,828
Speaker 6: Because prom next year twenty twenty seven is across the

410
00:16:58,828 --> 00:17:01,628
Speaker 6: street at Sofi Stadium. And we all know in that situation,

411
00:17:01,708 --> 00:17:04,228
Speaker 6: you had that home that waited so long, where Aaron

412
00:17:04,588 --> 00:17:06,868
Speaker 6: another date to the prom, and now your prom le's

413
00:17:06,988 --> 00:17:08,788
Speaker 6: there and you don't make it to the big bent.

414
00:17:08,948 --> 00:17:11,708
Speaker 6: So this reminds me a lot about that. So it's

415
00:17:11,748 --> 00:17:14,508
Speaker 6: like somebody got to make a move. Somebody go ask somebody, Hey,

416
00:17:14,588 --> 00:17:15,828
Speaker 6: do you want to go to prom with me? Do

417
00:17:15,828 --> 00:17:17,348
Speaker 6: you want to be on this football team? And let's

418
00:17:17,388 --> 00:17:20,748
Speaker 6: row and get some wins like that the homie Omaha, Omar, bro,

419
00:17:21,028 --> 00:17:21,948
Speaker 6: come on, Omar.

420
00:17:22,028 --> 00:17:25,708
Speaker 1: Yeah, get the boot neeer and the corsage and Jack

421
00:17:25,788 --> 00:17:26,748
Speaker 1: Daniels cooler.

422
00:17:26,508 --> 00:17:27,348
Speaker 2: And all that great stuff.

423
00:17:27,388 --> 00:17:30,828
Speaker 1: Yeah, how long are we going to pretend that Rogers

424
00:17:30,868 --> 00:17:31,868
Speaker 1: isn't playing for the Steelers?

425
00:17:31,868 --> 00:17:32,188
Speaker 3: This year.

426
00:17:32,588 --> 00:17:35,508
Speaker 1: You have to keep up this facade. Here's a couple

427
00:17:35,508 --> 00:17:37,988
Speaker 1: of reasons. Guys, he can still play right, he still

428
00:17:37,988 --> 00:17:39,788
Speaker 1: has the ability. He can play at a productive level.

429
00:17:39,988 --> 00:17:41,708
Speaker 1: The guys who walk away from the game when they

430
00:17:41,708 --> 00:17:44,628
Speaker 1: can still play. Here's the two biggest reasons. Number one,

431
00:17:44,668 --> 00:17:47,628
Speaker 1: someone of his stature, massive media job waiting for him,

432
00:17:47,628 --> 00:17:49,228
Speaker 1: will get paid millions of dollars to sit at a

433
00:17:49,268 --> 00:17:50,988
Speaker 1: desk and talk in thirty second sound bites.

434
00:17:51,108 --> 00:17:52,308
Speaker 2: Guys, Rogers ain't doing that.

435
00:17:52,388 --> 00:17:54,788
Speaker 1: There is no way and Rogers is going to start

436
00:17:54,828 --> 00:17:57,188
Speaker 1: working for Fox Sports and sit at the desk or

437
00:17:57,228 --> 00:17:59,228
Speaker 1: and it's just not going to happen. That's not his style.

438
00:17:59,748 --> 00:18:01,708
Speaker 1: I think he would think of himself as a sellout.

439
00:18:01,708 --> 00:18:03,228
Speaker 2: It's not him. I don't think he likes that kind

440
00:18:03,228 --> 00:18:03,828
Speaker 2: of media.

441
00:18:03,908 --> 00:18:06,468
Speaker 1: And number two, I say, disrespectfully, what do they all

442
00:18:06,468 --> 00:18:08,708
Speaker 1: say when they retire. I want to spend more time

443
00:18:08,748 --> 00:18:10,508
Speaker 1: with my kids. I want to go to my kids

444
00:18:10,588 --> 00:18:12,828
Speaker 1: football gain again, do respect Rodger.

445
00:18:12,628 --> 00:18:15,188
Speaker 2: Doesn't have kids. That is an asset in this regard.

446
00:18:15,548 --> 00:18:17,828
Speaker 1: You have free time, you have more bandwidth, You're gonna

447
00:18:17,868 --> 00:18:20,188
Speaker 1: go play some more football. And as it pertains of

448
00:18:20,268 --> 00:18:22,708
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy, there was a divorce between he.

449
00:18:22,748 --> 00:18:24,588
Speaker 2: And McCarthy, all right, but I think.

450
00:18:24,388 --> 00:18:28,268
Speaker 1: There was a divorce that was not completely nasty and vicious,

451
00:18:28,468 --> 00:18:30,428
Speaker 1: and sure there was a bunch of eye rolling and

452
00:18:30,508 --> 00:18:32,748
Speaker 1: maybe some finger pointing, but over the years, it's one

453
00:18:32,788 --> 00:18:34,748
Speaker 1: of those divorces where the husband and wife kind of

454
00:18:34,748 --> 00:18:37,188
Speaker 1: look at each other fondly and respectfully and they choose

455
00:18:37,228 --> 00:18:38,468
Speaker 1: to remember the good times.

456
00:18:38,588 --> 00:18:40,108
Speaker 2: I think Rogers genuinely.

457
00:18:39,748 --> 00:18:42,788
Speaker 1: Has a lot of love from Mike McCarthy, and Rodgers

458
00:18:42,948 --> 00:18:46,348
Speaker 1: is also one of these kind of emotional types, and

459
00:18:46,508 --> 00:18:47,428
Speaker 1: he's a poetic type.

460
00:18:47,468 --> 00:18:47,948
Speaker 2: I think he.

461
00:18:47,908 --> 00:18:51,908
Speaker 1: Would like the appearance and the bookend factor of going

462
00:18:51,948 --> 00:18:54,988
Speaker 1: out with Big Mike as he entered really with Big Mike.

463
00:18:55,028 --> 00:18:55,628
Speaker 2: I think he would like that.

464
00:18:55,668 --> 00:18:56,988
Speaker 1: I think it appeals dam and I think he thinks

465
00:18:56,988 --> 00:18:59,348
Speaker 1: about his story and his legacy. So my question of

466
00:18:59,348 --> 00:19:00,668
Speaker 1: how long do we have to pretend he's not gonna

467
00:19:00,668 --> 00:19:02,628
Speaker 1: play for the Steelers Today's March fifth.

468
00:19:02,668 --> 00:19:05,148
Speaker 2: I'm done. I'm not gonna put up he's playing for

469
00:19:05,188 --> 00:19:05,988

00:19:09,268 --> 00:19:10,588
Speaker 2: It will be a quick story to day.

474
00:19:11,108 --> 00:19:13,028
Speaker 4: Younger guy sort of in our business, and I was

475

00:19:52,588 --> 00:19:55,468
Speaker 1: And by the way, experiment while you're at it, dat

495
00:19:55,548 --> 00:19:58,668

496
00:19:58,708 --> 00:20:00,108
Speaker 1: that we all wish we could.

497
00:19:59,868 --> 00:20:01,108
Speaker 2: Do what I do.

498
00:20:01,428 --> 00:20:02,788
Speaker 3: This is where I used to go. I used to

499
00:20:02,828 --> 00:20:03,708
Speaker 3: go to these spots.

500
00:20:04,988 --> 00:20:06,868
Speaker 1: Yeah here, and by the way, I have some numbers,

501
00:20:06,868 --> 00:20:08,428
Speaker 1: I have some IG accounts, and no, I don't.

502
00:20:10,628 --> 00:20:11,748
Speaker 2: All right, everybody get in here.

503
00:20:11,748 --> 00:20:13,428
Speaker 1: It's time to play at home because it is time

504
00:20:13,468 --> 00:20:16,828
Speaker 1: for GMFB trivia. Shout out the answers at home, tweet

505
00:20:16,868 --> 00:20:20,948
Speaker 1: them at GMFB. Today's theme is on free agency and

506
00:20:21,028 --> 00:20:23,268
Speaker 1: other names in the news, and Mike g you are

507
00:20:23,308 --> 00:20:25,428
Speaker 1: stepping into the batter's box to get them based in

508
00:20:25,468 --> 00:20:26,188
Speaker 1: bat leadoff.

509
00:20:26,188 --> 00:20:28,108
Speaker 2: Are you ready, Mike? I am ready. Here we go.

510
00:20:28,628 --> 00:20:31,188
Speaker 1: That is our beautiful shot right there, four of us

511
00:20:31,188 --> 00:20:33,828
Speaker 1: and the big bucks below. Yesterday, Mike, I was trying

512
00:20:33,828 --> 00:20:36,588
Speaker 1: to say that anybody making Kyler Murray video game jokes

513
00:20:36,668 --> 00:20:39,628
Speaker 1: is lazy. It'd be akin to Daniel Jones falling down

514
00:20:39,668 --> 00:20:41,948
Speaker 1: on this play jokes. And now, of course we're running it,

515
00:20:41,988 --> 00:20:44,308
Speaker 1: which is ironic because I said doing this is lazy.

516
00:20:44,748 --> 00:20:45,348
Speaker 2: But there it is.

517
00:20:45,428 --> 00:20:48,308
Speaker 1: Years ago, twenty twenty, Daniel Jones falls down Joe Book

518
00:20:48,348 --> 00:20:50,348
Speaker 1: on the call. Everybody laughs, sake one laughs, and we're

519
00:20:50,388 --> 00:20:54,748
Speaker 1: playing it again. But Mike, it's better to remember Daniel

520
00:20:54,828 --> 00:20:57,388
Speaker 1: Jones than Giants era as the only quarterback to lead

521
00:20:57,428 --> 00:21:00,228
Speaker 1: the team to a playoff win in the last fourteen years,

522
00:21:00,228 --> 00:21:02,588
Speaker 1: which he did on the road against a very good

523
00:21:02,628 --> 00:21:05,788
Speaker 1: Vikings team in twenty twenty two. My question to you

524
00:21:06,108 --> 00:21:10,788
Speaker 1: Mike Garafolo, who was the Giants leader in receiving yards

525
00:21:10,868 --> 00:21:13,228
Speaker 1: during that twenty twenty two season that Daniel Jones won

526
00:21:13,228 --> 00:21:15,908
Speaker 1: a playoff game. Could Saquan have led them in receiving?

527
00:21:16,228 --> 00:21:18,628
Speaker 1: Was it Darius slat Was it Kenny Galdet, who we

528
00:21:18,668 --> 00:21:21,188
Speaker 1: spent a thousand shows talking about in free agency that

529
00:21:21,268 --> 00:21:24,828
Speaker 1: later that year, or was it Richie James Mike Garrifolo,

530
00:21:24,828 --> 00:21:26,348
Speaker 1: who is the Giants leading receiver that year.

531
00:21:27,948 --> 00:21:30,828
Speaker 4: I like Giants questions because that's my wheelhouse to right

532
00:21:30,828 --> 00:21:33,228
Speaker 4: in my backyard. I hate Giants questions because if I

533
00:21:33,308 --> 00:21:36,268
Speaker 4: get it wrong, it just looked that much worse. I

534
00:21:36,268 --> 00:21:38,108
Speaker 4: am going to throw out Tenny Galladay. I can't remember

535
00:21:38,108 --> 00:21:41,188
Speaker 4: if that was the disaster of the season. I feel

536
00:21:41,268 --> 00:21:45,148
Speaker 4: like it's sort of no, no, because that that year

537
00:21:45,188 --> 00:21:46,908
Speaker 4: they played in Philly and he had a touchdown like

538
00:21:46,988 --> 00:21:48,628
Speaker 4: late and they're like, where is this? So that wasn't

539
00:21:48,828 --> 00:21:52,028
Speaker 4: I think that was twenty three I'm thinking of because

540
00:21:52,028 --> 00:21:52,788
Speaker 4: it could have been that game.

541
00:21:52,828 --> 00:21:58,748
Speaker 1: That game a lot of Kenny Galladay shows, good Bye, I'm.

542
00:21:58,948 --> 00:22:00,068
Speaker 2: Good, You're going to be.

543
00:22:00,268 --> 00:22:02,868
Speaker 1: Darius Slayton, the leading receiver for the Giants that year

544
00:22:02,868 --> 00:22:06,188
Speaker 1: with just seven hundred and twenty four yards was Darius Slayton.

545
00:22:06,348 --> 00:22:07,708
Speaker 2: Mike cat follow was my basin.

546
00:22:07,948 --> 00:22:12,388
Speaker 1: Darius Slayton the fewest yards by any playoff teams receiving

547
00:22:12,468 --> 00:22:13,308
Speaker 1: leader that year.

548
00:22:13,708 --> 00:22:16,508
Speaker 2: Mikey maybercall. It was the second year of a four year.

549
00:22:16,508 --> 00:22:19,388
Speaker 1: Seventy two million dollar deal signed by Kenny Galladay.

550
00:22:19,588 --> 00:22:21,788
Speaker 2: How many do to have? You have it? I don't

551
00:22:21,828 --> 00:22:23,628
Speaker 2: want to say it, but you can if you have it.

552
00:22:24,028 --> 00:22:24,748
Speaker 2: I don't have it.

553
00:22:24,788 --> 00:22:27,188
Speaker 1: It was Slayton who wou led New York in receiving

554
00:22:27,188 --> 00:22:29,868
Speaker 1: that season. Kenny Galladay. I'm joking about this because we

555
00:22:29,908 --> 00:22:33,428
Speaker 1: would do hours of coverage and questions about Kenny Galladay

556
00:22:33,468 --> 00:22:35,108
Speaker 1: on this show when he was coming out of Detroit,

557
00:22:35,428 --> 00:22:37,268
Speaker 1: and then it really never amounted to much. Do respect,

558
00:22:37,308 --> 00:22:39,388
Speaker 1: Kenny Galladay. I don't want to throw you in a ditch,

559
00:22:39,428 --> 00:22:41,908
Speaker 1: but it's more about the fact that Darius Slayton was

560
00:22:41,908 --> 00:22:43,428
Speaker 1: pretty good that year, and so were the Giants.

561
00:22:43,588 --> 00:22:44,868
Speaker 2: Eighty Did you say eighty one?

562
00:22:45,108 --> 00:22:47,188
Speaker 1: Did you say eighty one?

563
00:22:47,388 --> 00:22:49,068
Speaker 2: Seventy two million? Eighty one total yards?

564
00:22:49,228 --> 00:22:49,348
Speaker 1: Oh?

565
00:22:49,348 --> 00:22:52,628
Speaker 2: Eighty one? Is that true in twenty twenty two? How

566
00:22:52,708 --> 00:22:53,548
Speaker 2: is that even possible?

567
00:22:53,588 --> 00:22:58,148
Speaker 1: Hey, all right, my manti, let's move on quickly, because

568
00:22:59,068 --> 00:23:01,948
Speaker 1: why aren't the Giants winning? Manti You've seen up close

569
00:23:01,988 --> 00:23:06,308
Speaker 1: and personal, how consistently dominant the great Mike Evans throughout

570
00:23:06,308 --> 00:23:07,268
Speaker 1: his Buccaneers' career.

571
00:23:07,308 --> 00:23:08,348
Speaker 2: Mike Evans is a legend.

572
00:23:08,988 --> 00:23:11,748
Speaker 1: But for the first time ever, he's gonna sit here

573
00:23:11,788 --> 00:23:14,068
Speaker 1: and get a little taste of free agency. We do

574
00:23:14,188 --> 00:23:16,068
Speaker 1: not know we will be throwing him the ball next

575
00:23:16,188 --> 00:23:17,868
Speaker 1: year for the first time really ever, even though the

576
00:23:17,868 --> 00:23:19,068
Speaker 1: Bucks changed quarterbacks a lot.

577
00:23:19,468 --> 00:23:21,668
Speaker 2: And to that point, here's your question.

578
00:23:22,268 --> 00:23:24,668
Speaker 1: Mike Evans has played with a whole bunch of quarterbacks,

579
00:23:24,708 --> 00:23:27,588
Speaker 1: really interesting ones, going back to Johnny football in college.

580
00:23:27,908 --> 00:23:32,908
Speaker 1: But who has thrown Mike Evans the most touchdown passes

581
00:23:33,108 --> 00:23:36,628
Speaker 1: total during his twelve NFL Sea's played twelve years man time,

582
00:23:36,828 --> 00:23:38,948
Speaker 1: If you add up all the touchdowns he caught, who

583
00:23:38,988 --> 00:23:42,268
Speaker 1: has thrown him the most touchdown passes? Brady, Fitzpatrick, Winston

584
00:23:42,388 --> 00:23:42,828
Speaker 1: or Baker?

585
00:23:43,108 --> 00:23:46,508
Speaker 6: This is such a good one. It is I wanted

586
00:23:46,508 --> 00:23:49,348
Speaker 6: to supowl with Tom Brady. You would think that it's

587
00:23:49,668 --> 00:23:52,388
Speaker 6: such a short amount of time. Not so much, Baker.

588
00:23:52,948 --> 00:23:55,268
Speaker 6: Baker's been baking with him.

589
00:23:55,468 --> 00:23:59,428
Speaker 2: I'm stuck. I'm stuck between B and C. That's tough Fitzmagic.

590
00:23:59,668 --> 00:24:02,788
Speaker 6: Guys, I've played against Fitzmagic when he was over there.

591
00:24:03,108 --> 00:24:04,188
Speaker 2: Problem Jamis O.

592
00:24:04,468 --> 00:24:09,948
Speaker 6: So, but I'm I'm leaning towards our boy, Jamis Winston. Guy,

593
00:24:09,988 --> 00:24:14,148
Speaker 6: I'm KB. I'm going see Jameis Winston. That's where I'm going, KiB,

594
00:24:14,268 --> 00:24:14,668
Speaker 6: Come on.

595
00:24:14,708 --> 00:24:15,108
Speaker 2: I like it.

596
00:24:15,148 --> 00:24:15,708
Speaker 3: I like it.

597
00:24:16,108 --> 00:24:19,508
Speaker 1: Quarterback who has thrown the most touchdown passes to Mike

598
00:24:19,548 --> 00:24:21,428
Speaker 1: Evans throughout Mike Evans Hall of Fame.

599
00:24:21,268 --> 00:24:23,428
Speaker 2: Career is bringing up?

600
00:24:24,748 --> 00:24:29,628
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, because by Brady Good, Brady Good, that he

601
00:24:29,748 --> 00:24:30,068
Speaker 1: was there.

602
00:24:30,348 --> 00:24:32,988
Speaker 2: Brady is it close? It's listen, here's how close it is.

603
00:24:33,508 --> 00:24:36,628
Speaker 1: Jamis Winston threw thirty one touchdowns to Mike Evans.

604
00:24:36,708 --> 00:24:39,508
Speaker 2: Whoa Tom Brady through thirty two? Okay, how about that?

605
00:24:39,668 --> 00:24:39,788
Speaker 3: Right?

606
00:24:39,788 --> 00:24:42,268
Speaker 2: It's respectable and you know why it was so incredible?

607
00:24:42,268 --> 00:24:42,708
Speaker 3: Forty one?

608
00:24:43,828 --> 00:24:44,028
Speaker 2: Wow?

609
00:24:44,068 --> 00:24:47,388
Speaker 1: Maybe so in the first two years between Brady and Evans,

610
00:24:47,428 --> 00:24:50,268
Speaker 1: in just two seasons, Evans got twenty seven touchdowns in

611
00:24:50,348 --> 00:24:51,748
Speaker 1: two seasons, and then he.

612
00:24:51,708 --> 00:24:52,868
Speaker 2: Attacked on a few more.

613
00:24:53,428 --> 00:24:54,988
Speaker 1: Pretty cool though, man time, what do you think?

614
00:24:55,588 --> 00:24:58,628
Speaker 6: Wow, that's just again that ghost to show just the

615
00:24:58,708 --> 00:25:01,868
Speaker 6: dominance of Mike Evans and Tom because again you still

616
00:25:01,868 --> 00:25:04,868
Speaker 6: had Gromp there. For some of that time and was

617
00:25:04,868 --> 00:25:07,148
Speaker 6: going off as well. But Mike Evans, I'm telling you,

618
00:25:07,348 --> 00:25:09,548
Speaker 6: happy Mike Evans on your team is the biggest blessing

619
00:25:09,628 --> 00:25:10,788
Speaker 6: tructors pomps off.

620
00:25:11,308 --> 00:25:13,668
Speaker 1: Sorry, So I might look at that list and I'm like,

621
00:25:14,068 --> 00:25:15,428
Speaker 1: I've said this to Mike Evans before.

622
00:25:15,548 --> 00:25:17,348
Speaker 2: You have a book in you when you're done, just with.

623
00:25:17,308 --> 00:25:20,548
Speaker 1: Those quarterbacks plus your college quarterback, like it's never boring

624
00:25:20,628 --> 00:25:21,508
Speaker 1: with your quarterback.

625
00:25:21,588 --> 00:25:22,388
Speaker 2: You have a book in you.

626
00:25:22,508 --> 00:25:24,788
Speaker 4: Early Yeah, early prediction, just the prediction.

00:25:34,228 --> 00:25:36,188
Speaker 1: Just you know, as I read it right, I think

633
00:25:36,228 --> 00:25:38,308
Speaker 1: he's the greatest buccaneer of all time, Jason Light. I

634

Speaker 1: hope you can find a way. I would love him,

638
00:25:49,468 --> 00:25:52,348
Speaker 1: two point conversion run is one of the coolest plays

639
00:25:52,348 --> 00:25:56,148
Speaker 1: of Kyler Murray's career. Here are Greg gumbole and Adam

640

642
00:26:01,708 --> 00:26:08,108
Speaker 8: Murray running out of time on the move coming back

643
00:26:08,148 --> 00:26:13,748
Speaker 8: this winter, dancing and looking and directing traffic and what

644
00:26:13,988 --> 00:26:14,948
Speaker 8: the life of this play?

645
00:26:16,908 --> 00:26:19,988
Speaker 3: Murray? I'm to the two lie two to five and

646
00:26:20,108 --> 00:26:21,068

00:26:21,308 --> 00:26:25,068
Speaker 8: That's us a lay the blow that should not be

648
00:26:25,228 --> 00:26:26,148
Speaker 8: humanly possible.

649
00:26:26,228 --> 00:26:28,268
Speaker 1: Well, Carler Murray, all right, So that two point version

650
00:26:28,268 --> 00:26:30,348
Speaker 1: helped the Cardinals come back they were down twenty to

651
00:26:30,428 --> 00:26:34,268
Speaker 1: nothing at halftime to force overtime in Las Vegas.

652
00:26:34,308 --> 00:26:37,428
Speaker 2: Will here's your question later on in that game.

653
00:26:38,428 --> 00:26:42,628
Speaker 1: Who scored the game winning touchdown in overtime for the

654
00:26:42,628 --> 00:26:45,908
Speaker 1: Cardinals Week two, twenty twenty two against the Raiders, Greg

655
00:26:45,988 --> 00:26:50,428
Speaker 1: dortch Love, Greg dortsch aj Green on the Cardinals Byrn

656
00:26:50,468 --> 00:26:52,468
Speaker 1: Murphy Junior out the side of the ball. Or was

657
00:26:52,548 --> 00:26:55,188
Speaker 1: it the venerable zach Ertz who had the game winning

658
00:26:55,228 --> 00:26:56,068
Speaker 1: touchdown for the Cardinals?

659
00:26:56,068 --> 00:26:56,868
Speaker 2: Go ahead, we'll black play.

660
00:26:56,948 --> 00:27:00,588
Speaker 5: You know what's funny is like those wall parents like

661
00:27:00,708 --> 00:27:02,348
Speaker 5: that was like trying to get Chata Lea to go

662
00:27:02,428 --> 00:27:04,308
Speaker 5: to bed, the way he was running around like chasing him.

663
00:27:04,548 --> 00:27:05,508
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I'll tell you what.

664
00:27:07,508 --> 00:27:09,788
Speaker 5: There's a reason this question is for me because it

665
00:27:09,868 --> 00:27:11,428
Speaker 5: was a pick six by Byron Murphy.

666
00:27:11,508 --> 00:27:14,388
Speaker 3: Let's get it number see, let me see why.

667
00:27:14,348 --> 00:27:14,708
Speaker 1: Was it for you?

668
00:27:15,388 --> 00:27:16,548
Speaker 2: Was it? dB? All right?

669
00:27:16,588 --> 00:27:18,708
Speaker 1: Well listen, I would say, I'll give you the answer,

670
00:27:18,788 --> 00:27:21,988
Speaker 1: but let's go back to the legendary Greg Gumble and

671
00:27:22,068 --> 00:27:24,388
Speaker 1: our guy Adam Archiletta to see if Will is right?

672
00:27:27,108 --> 00:27:29,108
Speaker 3: Second with ten quick texcope, So I didn't.

673
00:27:29,108 --> 00:27:29,908
Speaker 5: That is complete?

674
00:27:29,948 --> 00:27:32,108
Speaker 1: That is the road fighting for your arnis the ball

675
00:27:32,268 --> 00:27:33,028
Speaker 1: is loose again?

676
00:27:33,708 --> 00:27:39,028
Speaker 3: Picked up Cardinals. This is Byron Murphy to the end zone.

677
00:27:39,068 --> 00:27:43,188
Speaker 3: That's for the touchdown. Had the wimb I've unbelievable finis

678
00:27:43,348 --> 00:27:44,028
Speaker 3: to this game.

679
00:27:46,788 --> 00:27:49,708
Speaker 1: You know, there's so many classic Cardinals Raiders games, Mike,

680
00:27:49,988 --> 00:27:52,868
Speaker 1: you can do a whole documentary that's probably the best.

681
00:27:52,908 --> 00:27:54,988
Speaker 2: So you got it right, Will, It wasn't a pick six.

682
00:27:54,948 --> 00:27:56,308
Speaker 3: Need to get a red pace it was it was

683
00:27:56,348 --> 00:27:56,828
Speaker 3: a walk off.

684
00:27:56,908 --> 00:27:57,028
Speaker 2: You know.

685
00:27:57,068 --> 00:27:58,908
Speaker 5: It was funny because I as soon as you said

686
00:27:58,908 --> 00:28:00,868
Speaker 5: that and I saw Byron Murphy. If his name wasn't

687
00:28:00,868 --> 00:28:02,228
Speaker 5: on there, obviously it would have been wrong.

688
00:28:02,348 --> 00:28:04,748
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, it's your turn, bro, is your turn?

689
00:28:04,828 --> 00:28:08,108
Speaker 2: This go? I got your question? Okay, this is Your

690
00:28:08,388 --> 00:28:09,508
Speaker 2: After signing with the forty.

691
00:28:09,348 --> 00:28:11,828
Speaker 6: Niners and free agency and immediately winning a Super Bowl,

692
00:28:12,028 --> 00:28:13,868
Speaker 6: Deon Senders joined their heated.

693
00:28:13,668 --> 00:28:16,788
Speaker 2: Rivals of Cowboys after a massive bidding war and free agency.

694
00:28:17,388 --> 00:28:20,268
Speaker 6: Prime went on to immediately win another Super Bowl, this

695
00:28:20,428 --> 00:28:24,348
Speaker 6: time with Dallas in January of nineteen ninety six. Later

696
00:28:24,468 --> 00:28:28,108
Speaker 6: that year, the iconic film about an NFL agent, Jerrey Maguire,

697
00:28:28,308 --> 00:28:30,948
Speaker 6: who was played by Tom Cruz, released in theaters. The

698
00:28:31,148 --> 00:28:35,148
Speaker 6: question I have for you is this which famous musician

699
00:28:35,228 --> 00:28:36,108
Speaker 6: from the nineties.

700
00:28:36,508 --> 00:28:37,988
Speaker 2: I know it. Don't even put the answers up. I

701
00:28:38,028 --> 00:28:40,028
Speaker 2: already know it. I'm in so.

702
00:28:40,228 --> 00:28:43,148
Speaker 1: Jerry when his writing his mission statement, not a memo

703
00:28:43,188 --> 00:28:44,908
Speaker 1: but a mission statement, writes it all.

704
00:28:44,868 --> 00:28:46,428
Speaker 2: Nights and he's not even a writer.

705
00:28:46,908 --> 00:28:49,068
Speaker 1: He goes to an all night printing place and there

706
00:28:49,188 --> 00:28:51,748
Speaker 1: across from him, working at the printing place, says, that's

707
00:28:51,788 --> 00:28:54,028
Speaker 1: how you get ahead in life, man, put your bleeps

708
00:28:54,068 --> 00:28:54,468
Speaker 1: out there.

709
00:28:54,708 --> 00:28:56,628
Speaker 2: And that was sat, of course, by.

710
00:28:56,588 --> 00:28:59,788
Speaker 1: The iconic Jerry Cantrell, who is the founder, lead guitarist

711
00:28:59,828 --> 00:29:02,108
Speaker 1: and occasional often vocalist.

712
00:29:01,748 --> 00:29:03,988
Speaker 3: For Alice in Change and Trell.

713
00:29:04,108 --> 00:29:07,308
Speaker 1: I think his role was like Kinko's Jesus or something

714
00:29:07,388 --> 00:29:10,388
Speaker 1: like that. It was like they actually, yes, like they

715
00:29:10,468 --> 00:29:12,868
Speaker 1: when in the credits he was copied like that. And

716
00:29:13,108 --> 00:29:15,748
Speaker 1: obviously Cameron Crowed the director, goes way back with Gruns.

717
00:29:15,788 --> 00:29:17,668
Speaker 1: She wrote a cover piece for Rolling Stone for Pearl

718
00:29:17,748 --> 00:29:21,308
Speaker 1: Jam when they were emerging. Incredible question, But Jerry, Kendra,

719
00:29:21,468 --> 00:29:25,708
Speaker 1: Look what a great picture with Jerry and crow and Jerry.

720
00:29:25,748 --> 00:29:27,948
Speaker 1: It's Jerry and Jerry on either side of it. Actually,

721
00:29:27,948 --> 00:29:29,228
Speaker 1: I'd love a great question, man Todd.

722
00:29:29,268 --> 00:29:31,548
Speaker 2: But that's it. That's easy, easy. I have a full

Speaker 1: Yeah, obviously we know Kouba Gooding won the OSCAR for

730
00:29:51,628 --> 00:29:54,228
Speaker 1: Best Supporting Actor. Personally, as much as I liked it,

731
00:29:54,228 --> 00:29:55,828
Speaker 1: I think it should have gone to William H. Macy

732
00:29:55,908 --> 00:29:58,868
Speaker 1: for Fargo. We had never seen before. Jerry Lindergard was fantastic.

733
00:29:59,068 --> 00:30:00,188
Speaker 1: But now we're off the rails.

734
00:30:00,548 --> 00:30:00,948
Speaker 9: By the way.

735
00:30:00,988 --> 00:30:05,068
Speaker 1: You know what's crazy, Jerry maguire Cardinals Boys is the

736
00:30:05,148 --> 00:30:06,788
Speaker 1: end of it is like the final act. The NFL

737
00:30:06,868 --> 00:30:08,588
Speaker 1: is like, you can have it, you can use the logos.

738
00:30:08,588 --> 00:30:10,308
Speaker 1: We're gonna be It's Monday Night football, it's everything.

739
00:30:10,428 --> 00:30:10,628
Speaker 8: Yeah.

740
00:30:10,988 --> 00:30:12,828
Speaker 1: I don't think that would happen now considering what happens

741
00:30:12,868 --> 00:30:13,588
Speaker 1: to Rod Pittwell the.

742
00:30:13,628 --> 00:30:15,628
Speaker 2: Other game he knocked out cold. Yeah, it's so great.

743
00:30:16,228 --> 00:30:18,548
Speaker 1: But it was what made that movie is that when

744
00:30:18,588 --> 00:30:20,628
Speaker 1: they go to the final act, Rod Timball doesn't play

745
00:30:20,668 --> 00:30:22,308
Speaker 1: for the Miami Sharks or something. He played for the

746
00:30:22,428 --> 00:30:24,268
Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals and they're playing.

747
00:30:24,028 --> 00:30:27,068
Speaker 2: The game there. Yeah, Roy made him cry eleven.

748
00:30:26,788 --> 00:30:29,948
Speaker 1: Point one million dollar contract and was like eleven to one. Wow,

749
00:30:30,508 --> 00:30:32,068
Speaker 1: that was Kenny Galladay money back in the day.

750
00:30:32,068 --> 00:30:32,788
Speaker 2: I hope he invested.

751
00:30:32,908 --> 00:30:35,548
Speaker 1: I hope he did too. All right, let me take

752
00:30:35,628 --> 00:30:37,428
Speaker 1: you back to the final one. Guys, this is all

753
00:30:37,468 --> 00:30:38,068
Speaker 1: hands on deck.

754
00:30:38,108 --> 00:30:38,708
Speaker 2: Here we go go home.

755
00:30:39,708 --> 00:30:42,588
Speaker 1: The late Reggie White, Minister of Defense, credited as the

756
00:30:42,788 --> 00:30:45,268
Speaker 1: pioneer free agency. It was really like he's the face

757
00:30:45,548 --> 00:30:47,988
Speaker 1: biggest fish every leaves. The Eagles signs with the Packers.

758
00:30:48,028 --> 00:30:49,788
Speaker 1: They win the Super Bowl size of the Packers in

759
00:30:49,828 --> 00:30:52,548
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety three, and it brought out a new era

760
00:30:52,828 --> 00:30:56,308
Speaker 1: of player empowerments and agent empowerments and this is not

761
00:30:56,428 --> 00:30:57,268
Speaker 1: a great super Bowl.

762
00:30:57,308 --> 00:30:58,428
Speaker 2: Here Drew Bledsoe.

763
00:30:58,708 --> 00:31:00,588
Speaker 1: Also, by the way, Drew Bledsoe was in Jerry McGuire,

764
00:31:00,628 --> 00:31:01,948
Speaker 1: Jerem McGuire was his agents.

765
00:31:02,068 --> 00:31:04,148
Speaker 2: Yes, he makes a cameo, and so this Cajana Carter.

766
00:31:04,548 --> 00:31:06,748
Speaker 1: It turned out that Reggie White signing with the Packers

767
00:31:06,828 --> 00:31:09,068
Speaker 1: will go down as one of the greatest creagent pickups

768
00:31:09,068 --> 00:31:11,668
Speaker 1: in league history, maybe the greatest, as the future Hall

769
00:31:11,668 --> 00:31:13,268
Speaker 1: of Famer will win a Super Bowl, as I mentioned,

770
00:31:13,348 --> 00:31:15,388
Speaker 1: Defensive Player of the Year award during his Packer's tenure.

771
00:31:15,748 --> 00:31:17,508
Speaker 1: This is again Super Bowl thirty one. It was played

772
00:31:17,548 --> 00:31:19,988
Speaker 1: in New Orleans. It was January of nineteen ninety seven.

773
00:31:20,028 --> 00:31:22,908
Speaker 1: It's the Bill Parcells Patriots, Mike Carrifolo.

774
00:31:22,988 --> 00:31:25,988
Speaker 2: The MVP of the Super Bowl was Desmond Howard. Yeah, Mike,

775
00:31:26,068 --> 00:31:26,788
Speaker 2: that's why I love you.

776
00:31:26,868 --> 00:31:30,108

779
00:31:36,708 --> 00:31:39,268
Speaker 1: Here we go, it's gonna stop on a third and thirteen,

Speaker 1: forty one yard reception?

785
00:31:51,308 --> 00:31:52,748
Speaker 2: Is it another Reggie White sack?

786
00:31:53,388 --> 00:31:56,348
Speaker 1: Or does Drew Bledsoe pull out a twenty nine yard run?

787
00:31:56,788 --> 00:31:59,628
Speaker 2: Will Blackman, which is it right to me?

788
00:31:59,988 --> 00:32:00,188
Speaker 3: Yeah?

789
00:32:00,228 --> 00:32:01,228
Speaker 2: Come on, Will, Yeah.

790
00:32:01,348 --> 00:32:03,708
Speaker 5: I know Reggie went off in this game, and I

791
00:32:03,788 --> 00:32:06,228
Speaker 5: think he had a another sec on this drug. You're

792
00:32:06,228 --> 00:32:08,268
Speaker 5: gonna go ive it was because they sent they sent

793
00:32:08,468 --> 00:32:08,828
Speaker 5: out there.

794
00:32:09,108 --> 00:32:12,588
Speaker 6: You're gonna go see and go see, Okay, Ben Coles

795
00:32:12,628 --> 00:32:14,548
Speaker 6: forty one, I'm a shelter.

796
00:32:14,588 --> 00:32:18,988
Speaker 2: Our guy, Leroy Butler, I'm gonna go a Roy Butler interception.

797
00:32:19,428 --> 00:32:21,548
Speaker 2: That's where I'm going. Okay, but you got my team.

798
00:32:21,988 --> 00:32:25,228
Speaker 4: Could it have possibly been a positive Patriots play after

799
00:32:25,348 --> 00:32:27,068
Speaker 4: that moment right there?

800
00:32:27,268 --> 00:32:31,188
Speaker 2: Couldn't? Right, So we got to knock out Dean Reggie

801
00:32:31,268 --> 00:32:31,908
Speaker 2: back to back up.

802
00:32:31,948 --> 00:32:34,388
Speaker 4: I feel like I would have you would have heard

803
00:32:34,428 --> 00:32:36,148
Speaker 4: that after the big hump play you come back with it.

804
00:32:36,588 --> 00:32:38,268
Speaker 2: I'm gonna ride with man Ti Leroy Butler.

805
00:32:39,028 --> 00:32:40,628
Speaker 1: You know a lot of times these Super Bowls get

806
00:32:40,628 --> 00:32:43,268
Speaker 1: truncated down to just two or three highlights, and there's

807
00:32:43,308 --> 00:32:46,348
Speaker 1: an Andrea Rising highlight, and then there's a Desmond Howard highlight.

808
00:32:46,788 --> 00:32:50,788
Speaker 1: I don't remember a lot of these. Okay, well these

809
00:32:50,908 --> 00:32:52,988
Speaker 1: four don't jump out. And did Drew Bletsoe ever have

810
00:32:53,028 --> 00:32:55,188
Speaker 1: a twenty nine yard run in his career? I love Drew,

811
00:32:55,308 --> 00:32:59,308
Speaker 1: but I will say the crew really messed with us here,

812
00:32:59,348 --> 00:33:01,068
Speaker 1: and we're gonna see a forty one yard strike to

813
00:33:01,108 --> 00:33:02,988
Speaker 1: Ben Coach just because kind of what I want to see.

814
00:33:03,588 --> 00:33:05,148
Speaker 2: But let's see your guy. Guess who was on the

815
00:33:05,188 --> 00:33:05,588
Speaker 2: call for this.

816
00:33:06,068 --> 00:33:08,388
Speaker 1: Just a couple of gentlemen named Madden and Summer.

817
00:33:08,668 --> 00:33:09,308
Speaker 3: He got away.

818
00:33:13,188 --> 00:33:19,548
Speaker 9: Reggie's Reggie White's gonna take over this game right now.

819
00:33:20,108 --> 00:33:21,508
Speaker 3: There's a point that that.

820
00:33:21,588 --> 00:33:25,028
Speaker 9: He can't let the Patriots get the momentum back. Max

821
00:33:25,148 --> 00:33:27,708
Speaker 9: Lane that time was expecting the Hunt move, which is

822
00:33:27,748 --> 00:33:30,828
Speaker 9: an inside move, and Reggie just gave him a rip

823
00:33:30,948 --> 00:33:32,108
Speaker 9: and went right on him.

824
00:33:33,028 --> 00:33:35,628
Speaker 2: Anything you know, I think you should have an MVP.

825
00:33:37,268 --> 00:33:39,868
Speaker 3: Look, look this is you. Well. I was gonna say

826
00:33:39,948 --> 00:33:42,388
Speaker 3: this is the game where I believe I was in

827
00:33:43,828 --> 00:33:44,308
Speaker 3: fifth grader.

828
00:33:44,468 --> 00:33:45,988
Speaker 5: I forget it was, but I remember this is a

829
00:33:46,028 --> 00:33:48,708
Speaker 5: game I decided I really want to be a kick returner.

830
00:33:48,988 --> 00:33:51,908
Speaker 5: Was watching Desmond Howard and I remember I went home

831
00:33:51,988 --> 00:33:53,388
Speaker 5: and I ended up writing a pin pal.

832
00:33:53,348 --> 00:33:54,428
Speaker 3: Letter to Desmond Howard.

833
00:33:54,508 --> 00:33:57,268
Speaker 5: I got a picture back from the Packers after watching

834
00:33:57,348 --> 00:33:57,708
Speaker 5: Oh wow.

835
00:33:57,788 --> 00:34:00,228
Speaker 3: Well yeah, and I was you know, I was New England. Boys.

836
00:34:00,268 --> 00:34:02,068
Speaker 5: Everyone was like yelling at me about it because the

837
00:34:02,108 --> 00:34:04,748
Speaker 5: Patriots lost. But yeah, that's when I became. I heard

838
00:34:04,828 --> 00:34:06,548
Speaker 5: Desmond Hower fin and want to be a returner.

839
00:34:07,068 --> 00:34:09,148
Speaker 2: Did you did you? Did you remember the back to

840
00:34:09,188 --> 00:34:10,748
Speaker 2: back secors that no. I remember.

841
00:34:10,828 --> 00:34:13,228
Speaker 5: I remember sitting in my living room watching his game. Specifically,

842
00:34:13,228 --> 00:34:16,788
Speaker 5: I remember Andre Rise's touchdown. I remember dem how I

843
00:34:16,828 --> 00:34:18,148
Speaker 5: remember the same, I remember all that stuff.

844
00:34:19,268 --> 00:34:22,428
Speaker 2: Nice Will, Nice Will. You know what's crazy about the Patriots.

845
00:34:22,628 --> 00:34:24,948
Speaker 1: As much success as they've had, they've had some real

846
00:34:25,028 --> 00:34:27,508
Speaker 1: clunker super Bowls up to this year. Super Bowl twenty

847
00:34:27,588 --> 00:34:28,948
Speaker 1: was a clunker. This was a clunker.

848
00:34:29,148 --> 00:34:31,348
Speaker 2: Or you play. I know eventually you get caught.

849
00:34:31,948 --> 00:34:32,148
Speaker 1: Guys.

850
00:34:32,228 --> 00:34:32,508
Speaker 2: That's it.

851
00:34:32,948 --> 00:34:35,028
Speaker 1: We are going to go out with Reggie White sacking

852
00:34:35,068 --> 00:34:35,468
Speaker 1: Drew Blood.

853
00:34:35,548 --> 00:34:36,028
Speaker 2: Drew, we love you.

854
00:34:36,068 --> 00:34:38,388
Speaker 1: I know Drew watches the show sometimes, so Drew love you.

855
00:34:38,868 --> 00:34:40,468
Speaker 1: I hope you're not having some breakfast wine us a

856
00:34:40,468 --> 00:34:41,788
Speaker 1: little early there on the West Coast, but.

857
00:34:41,868 --> 00:34:42,068
Speaker 2: I know.

858
00:34:44,308 --> 00:34:47,508
Speaker 1: Good morning Football continues after this, and we're going to

859
00:34:47,548 --> 00:34:49,748
Speaker 1: talk about Lou Holtz and all our memories of him,

860
00:34:49,788 --> 00:34:51,628
Speaker 1: a very very special life and career.

861
00:34:51,828 --> 00:34:52,988
Speaker 2: I think we've shown Drew enough.

862
00:34:53,268 --> 00:34:57,308
Speaker 1: Drew Drew Blood still getting sacked off, my God, getting

863
00:34:57,348 --> 00:35:01,268
Speaker 1: free Morgan Morning Football. After this, welcome back to Good

864
00:35:01,308 --> 00:35:05,868
Speaker 1: Morning Football. College football legend Lou Holtz passed away yesterday

865
00:35:05,948 --> 00:35:09,828
Speaker 1: at the age of eighty nine. Coach Holtz worked in football,

866
00:35:10,228 --> 00:35:14,028
Speaker 1: mostly college football, for seven decades, and while his career

867
00:35:14,068 --> 00:35:18,188
Speaker 1: took him everywhere from Iowa to Ohio State, to Minnesota

868
00:35:18,428 --> 00:35:21,508
Speaker 1: to Arkansas to becoming yes the head coach of the

869
00:35:21,588 --> 00:35:24,308
Speaker 1: Joe name of New York Jets, and everything he did

870
00:35:24,348 --> 00:35:27,268
Speaker 1: for years and years and years on television. For myself

871
00:35:28,108 --> 00:35:31,348
Speaker 1: and for millions of others, his apex was stalking the

872
00:35:31,428 --> 00:35:33,188
Speaker 1: sidelines in South Bend, Indiana.

873
00:35:33,828 --> 00:35:34,468
Speaker 2: As a young.

874
00:35:34,388 --> 00:35:36,828
Speaker 1: Chicago kid in the eighties who worshiped at the altar

875
00:35:36,868 --> 00:35:41,268
Speaker 1: of Notre Dame football. Lou Holtz was a magical figure.

876
00:35:41,628 --> 00:35:43,788
Speaker 1: He was Willy Wonka in a headset. He was ganned

877
00:35:43,788 --> 00:35:47,148
Speaker 1: Off leading the Irish onto the field at nine years old.

878
00:35:47,228 --> 00:35:50,468
Speaker 1: I would have walked into traffic for Lou Holtz, and

879
00:35:50,668 --> 00:35:55,268
Speaker 1: so at all of his players. This tiny, wiry yellow

880
00:35:55,388 --> 00:35:59,468
Speaker 1: haired man with the unusual voice would command athletic phenoms

881
00:35:59,588 --> 00:36:03,348
Speaker 1: like Tim Brown, Ricky Waters, Jerome Bettis, rocket Ismaeil and

882
00:36:03,548 --> 00:36:05,148
Speaker 1: have them ready to go to war.

883
00:36:05,268 --> 00:36:08,548
Speaker 2: I am getting goosebumps right now for kids like me.

884
00:36:09,108 --> 00:36:12,228
Speaker 1: The most important sporting event of our youth. It was

885
00:36:12,308 --> 00:36:14,388
Speaker 1: not the Bear super Bowl, It was not any of

886
00:36:14,428 --> 00:36:18,228
Speaker 1: the Jordan Championships. It was October fifteenth, nineteen eighty eight,

887
00:36:18,308 --> 00:36:22,588
Speaker 1: in the so called Catholics versus Convicts Game number one,

888
00:36:22,668 --> 00:36:26,668
Speaker 1: Miami with their head coach Jimmy Johnson coming into Notre

889
00:36:26,788 --> 00:36:31,508
Speaker 1: Dame Stadium against Coach Holtz's undefeated Irish. Before kickoff, there

890
00:36:31,588 --> 00:36:34,388
Speaker 1: was a brawl on the field live on CBS.

891
00:36:34,788 --> 00:36:36,108
Speaker 2: And I don't mean a shoving match.

892
00:36:36,228 --> 00:36:39,268
Speaker 1: I mean a full brawl between players in full pads,

893
00:36:39,548 --> 00:36:43,988
Speaker 1: with Irish quarterback Tony Rice throwing punches under Miami players

894
00:36:44,068 --> 00:36:47,868
Speaker 1: face masks. There were no ejections. They got the teams

895
00:36:47,908 --> 00:36:51,228
Speaker 1: back into the locker rooms. And as the story goes,

896
00:36:51,828 --> 00:36:55,148
Speaker 1: when coach Holtz did his best coaching of his career,

897
00:36:55,228 --> 00:36:58,268
Speaker 1: not with the chalkboard or with videotape, but by using

898
00:36:58,388 --> 00:37:02,268
Speaker 1: the moment and connecting with his players. Coach Holts told

899
00:37:02,348 --> 00:37:06,388
Speaker 1: his team before kickoff the brawl that if anyone on

900
00:37:06,508 --> 00:37:09,148
Speaker 1: this team in this locker room disrespects the game and

901
00:37:09,228 --> 00:37:11,588
Speaker 1: the university on the field, they would never play for

902
00:37:11,668 --> 00:37:16,868
Speaker 1: Notre Dame again. But he said after the game, if

903
00:37:16,868 --> 00:37:18,508
Speaker 1: they want to handle business in the parking.

904
00:37:18,308 --> 00:37:22,428
Speaker 2: Lot, we can do it. And if they do, you

905
00:37:22,708 --> 00:37:27,428
Speaker 2: save Jimmy Johnson's ass for me. The whole locker room explodes.

906
00:37:27,788 --> 00:37:30,588
Speaker 1: They run out onto the field. It's adrenaline. I have

907
00:37:30,708 --> 00:37:33,228
Speaker 1: goosebumps all over my body right now. They take the field,

908
00:37:33,548 --> 00:37:36,908
Speaker 1: they win thirty one to thirty and Coach Holtz's postgame

909
00:37:36,988 --> 00:37:39,628
Speaker 1: interview on the field with John Dockery, he credits the

910
00:37:39,708 --> 00:37:42,708
Speaker 1: Notre Dame spirit for winning the game, the Notre Dame University,

911
00:37:42,748 --> 00:37:44,628
Speaker 1: the Notre Dame students, They're the reason they.

912
00:37:44,588 --> 00:37:45,068
Speaker 2: Won the game.

913
00:37:45,188 --> 00:37:47,308
Speaker 1: They won the national title, They won the hearts of

914
00:37:47,388 --> 00:37:49,908
Speaker 1: every Irish fan and for every nine year old boy

915
00:37:49,988 --> 00:37:52,748
Speaker 1: in glasses screaming the fight song in the basement, the

916
00:37:53,028 --> 00:37:57,428
Speaker 1: echoes were awake, and I just want to remember Coach

917
00:37:57,468 --> 00:37:59,348
Speaker 1: Holts by the words he once used to address his

918
00:37:59,388 --> 00:38:01,468
Speaker 1: team with a message that has never been more important

919
00:38:01,468 --> 00:38:02,148
Speaker 1: than it is today.

920
00:38:02,468 --> 00:38:05,788
Speaker 2: Coach Lou Holtz said, nobody gives you anything in this world.

921
00:38:06,188 --> 00:38:08,228
Speaker 1: People can give you money, they can give you wealth,

922
00:38:08,308 --> 00:38:11,708
Speaker 1: they can give you fame. One thing nobody in this

923
00:38:11,908 --> 00:38:15,668
Speaker 1: world can give you men is respect. The self respect

924
00:38:15,788 --> 00:38:18,708
Speaker 1: you give yourself, the way you play the game and

925
00:38:18,788 --> 00:38:21,588
Speaker 1: the way you believe this is a game of respect.

926
00:38:22,308 --> 00:38:25,348
Speaker 1: You are Notre Dame and notre dame. There is a spirit.

927
00:38:26,228 --> 00:38:28,548
Speaker 1: The spirit is something that's within you. You have to

928
00:38:28,708 --> 00:38:31,148
Speaker 1: listen to that spirit. You have to fight for it,

929
00:38:31,628 --> 00:38:35,188
Speaker 1: and you have to believe in it. Lu Holts was

930
00:38:35,268 --> 00:38:37,708
Speaker 1: a very very very special figure to me, into so

931
00:38:37,828 --> 00:38:42,188
Speaker 1: many others, and he ran the marathon eighty nine years old.

932
00:38:42,548 --> 00:38:45,748
Speaker 1: I'm still very sad that he's gone, very special, very missed.

933
00:38:45,908 --> 00:38:49,388
Speaker 2: Incredible, incredible legacy. Kav, that is so beautiful, brother.

934
00:38:49,468 --> 00:38:52,468
Speaker 6: And as somebody who once donned the gold helmet, there

935
00:38:52,588 --> 00:38:54,868
Speaker 6: is something about Lou Holtz. He has one of those

936
00:38:54,988 --> 00:38:57,068
Speaker 6: voices that when you hear it, you know exactly where

937
00:38:57,108 --> 00:38:59,508
Speaker 6: it's coming from. And whenever I got to talk to

938
00:38:59,628 --> 00:39:02,468
Speaker 6: Coach Holtz, the thing about him is he reminded me

939
00:39:02,588 --> 00:39:07,908
Speaker 6: that leadership wasn't loud, Leadership wasn't some big muscular figure.

940
00:39:08,428 --> 00:39:11,708
Speaker 6: It had to be Sincere though, and whenever Coach Holtz

941
00:39:11,788 --> 00:39:14,708
