00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:26,239
Speaker 1: If you're watching on the MSG feed, you gotta look

4
00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:28,600
Speaker 1: at the stadium inside, not what's going on in there.

5
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:30,319
Speaker 1: And you can tell it looks like it looks like

6
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:33,320
Speaker 1: a frozen tun drive. It does, right. The snow doesn't

7
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:36,000
Speaker 1: often collect on the field like that. But there is

8
00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:40,280
Speaker 1: no tarp down and uh places, just no reason for it, really,

9
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:43,080

00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:39,119
Speaker 1: gigsmatically the same. Kyle Brant, our favorite from NFL Network,

29
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 1: joins us today at about two twenty A little bit

30
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:44,679
Speaker 1: late for Kylie. He's got some work to do, I guess,

31
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:46,959
Speaker 1: so he'll be joining us a little bit later on today.

32
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 1: And we got a good Twitter poll. Um. We were

33
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 1: talking before he came out of the air about that

34
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 1: where we are in the football. We're not quite at

35
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 1: the super Bowl. We'll talk about the super Bowl, but

36
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 1: we're not quite there. It's kind of a dead week

37
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 1: anyway in the NFL Pro Bowl Pro Ball, which is yeah,

38
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 1: pretty dead itself. But the XFL starts next week. And

39
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 1: we were talking about how a year ago we were

40
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 1: all about alternate football. The Alliance of American Football was

41
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:13,800
Speaker 1: getting set up. We had all kinds of Alliance guests.

42
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 1: We were talking to people who were involved in that,

43
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,799
Speaker 1: including Bill Polian and others. A year ago, we were

44
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 1: excited about the Alternative Football the Alliance. The Alliance died

45
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 1: after a couple of months, died in its first season, Yeah,

46
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:27,960
Speaker 1: like a month, not even a month. And the XFL

47
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:30,640
Speaker 1: was starting up this week, and I guess we're excited

48
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 1: about it, but not quite the way we were. He

49
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:34,679
Speaker 1: told me to start in this week, and I was shocked.

50
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,640
Speaker 1: I was like, it could not be further off my radar.

51
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:41,920
Speaker 1: It really couldn't, and which me and given my past

52
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 1: enthusiasm for other alternate football leagues, that means this one's

53
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 1: probably gonna be wildly successful, right, Because I was kind

54
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 1: of excited about the AAF because they were doing some

55
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 1: things right, and we thought that the one thing it

56
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 1: all comes down to the revenues the new league can generate.

57
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 1: I don't know who's I don't even know who's televised

58
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 1: on where you can watch it. I don't know how

59
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:03,519
Speaker 1: you can find it. I don't know the teams. I

60
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 1: don't know anything about it. And there's nothing out there

61
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:10,639
Speaker 1: that's churning out that you know that constant you know,

62
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:12,800
Speaker 1: you go the NFL. NFL has got its own network.

63
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 1: I mean, Kyle Branson every day, we're on every day.

64
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:22,360
Speaker 1: A lot of teams have production stuff that they do

65
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 1: every day. I mean, that is a constant fountain of

66
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:30,519
Speaker 1: content for meat media content, This NFL machine that keeps going.

67
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 1: We're part of it, right, We're in We're in on it.

68
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 1: We're ESPN and a network that's absolutely fully ingrained in

69
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 1: the NFL culture. I mean all that stuff and there's

70
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 1: that doesn't exist for these other leagues, not yet. Well,

71
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 1: I mean, how much success are they going to have

72
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 1: to have and how how is it going to happen

73
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 1: that they finally kind of gain some traction, start generating

74
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 1: some revenue instead of just sucking cash out of whoever's

75
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 1: investing in it. The one thing the XFL has that

76
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 1: the Alliance does not have is sound financial backing, right,

77
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 1: I mean with the wrestling guy whose name escapes me,

78
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 1: who Vince McMahon. Yeah, with his backing and the fact

79
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 1: that they're not individual owners, right, there's one owner. Well,

80
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 1: I guess the Alliance had that too, But they are

81
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 1: going to be on the ABC, ESPN, Fox Sports, Fox

82
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 1: Sports one. So they do have a kind of a

83
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:20,359
Speaker 1: variety of television network exposures. They won't be making a

84
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:23,159
Speaker 1: ton of money off network TV, at least not to start.

85
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 1: But the XFL has sort of a solid financial backing

86
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 1: which probably will serve it much better than the Alliance had.

87
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 1: So that's the first thing. You remember. It was a

88
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 1: year ago at the Super Bowl in Atlanta, when you're

89
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 1: I was he an old teammate Oliver Luck. Yes, yeah,

90
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 1: and he came out and talked to us, the commissioner

91
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 1: the XFL. Right, yeah, and yeah there, yeah, and all listen,

92
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 1: all his lights are on. He's a sharp guy. Andrew

93
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,919
Speaker 1: Luck's father, as most of anybody born in this century

94
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 1: or since nineteen ninety will understand. He's Andrew Luck's father,

95
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 1: who was an NFL player himself, was also the commissioner

96
00:04:56,600 --> 00:05:00,719
Speaker 1: of NFL Europe and worked with the league and the

97
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 1: executive offices over there, I think for a time as well.

98
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:06,159
Speaker 1: I mean, he's a well rounded football guy who knows

99
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 1: what's going on. Like Bill Polian last year with the AAF,

100
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 1: Oliver is a sharp guy who's been around the block

101
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:17,160
Speaker 1: of time or two and it'll be interesting to see

102
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 1: what his you know, how he can navigate these waters

103
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 1: in this fledgling league. See if they can get they

104
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 1: can gain some traction. But that's what it's all about. Really,

105
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 1: eight teams East and West. They start a week from Saturday,

106
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 1: February eighth. The East Division is the DC Defenders, the

107
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:34,839
Speaker 1: New York Guardians, Saint Louis BattleHawks, and the Tampa Bay Vipers.

108
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:37,120
Speaker 1: How does Tampa Bay always get a team in these leagues?

109
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 1: The West Division the Dallas Renegades, Houston Roughnecks, Los Angeles Wildcats,

110
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 1: Seattle Dragons. Each team hosts five games plays the schedule

111
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 1: that includes a home and home series against division rivals,

112
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 1: one game against each team in the other division. Every

113
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 1: XFL game will air on national television, twenty five games

114
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 1: on ABC and Fox in the regular season, so they'll

115
00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 1: have their they'll get their shot on tv UM Four

116
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:04,239
Speaker 1: games scheduled eachweek, typically with two back to back games

117
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 1: on both Saturdays and Sundays primetime Thursday night games in

118
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 1: the final weeks. They've got a kind of thought out, Steve.

119
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 1: I mean, we you know, we weren't paying attention to

120
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 1: the XFL a year a year ago because they were

121
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 1: a year away from starting. But here it is they

122
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 1: start next week February eighth or two weeks February eighth.

123
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 1: You gotta understand two. When there's live sports on, that's

124
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 1: where the number, that's where the eyes go. Because if

125
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:30,800
Speaker 1: it's a live sport, you can't It doesn't do any

126
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 1: good to set your DVR. You're gonna miss it. You know,

127
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 1: everything else on network TV, on ESPN, Netflix, all that stuff,

128
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 1: you can go back and find it later and watch it,

129
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 1: and you can't do that with football too, but who

130
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 1: you can't do it without knowing what the outcome is,

131
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 1: which kills it. So if it's a live sport on,

132
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 1: people are gonna watch it. You would think, how's it

133
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:56,360
Speaker 1: gonna do compared to the NBA and the NHL and

134
00:06:56,880 --> 00:07:01,839
Speaker 1: and major leagues and soccer ampionship soccer both in Europe

135
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:05,240
Speaker 1: and the US. That remains to be seen. It'll be interesting,

136
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 1: but it is. It is a sport that's been just

137
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 1: got a great backing here in the stage and we'll see.

138
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 1: There's a lot of unknowns, but we'll see. Every time

139
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 1: a new football league starts up has started up, I

140
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 1: used I think to myself, well, come on, who really

141
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 1: needs football the rest of the year right, we don't

142
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 1: need football twelve months a year. And yet they've done studies.

143
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 1: They've shown that people will watch when the NFL is

144
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 1: done on February second, with the Super Bowl right February second,

145
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 1: a couple of Sundays away, XFL will start the next week,

146
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 1: and they've done studies that show that they there will

147
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 1: be an audience, won't be anywhere near the NFL audience,

148
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 1: but there will be an audience for the XFL. So

149
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 1: I kind of throw that as throw that out there, thinking, yeah,

150
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 1: that's the way it is, that's the way it is now.

151
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 1: So I don't know, Yeah, it'll be interesting to see

152
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 1: they've got and obviously they've got a couple of things

153
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:54,680
Speaker 1: that are in our Twitter polls a little bit about

154
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 1: this today, that they got some hooks to bring some

155
00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 1: eyeballs in the people that are interested to see how

156
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 1: it's gonna work. What is how it's going to be different.

157
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 1: There are some rule changes, Like you've been thinking, it's

158
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 1: not like the first time, Like I don't know what

159
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 1: it was fifteen twenty years ago when the first XFL

160
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 1: had its go around and they were you know, had

161
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:12,680
Speaker 1: to scramble for the ball to see who got in

162
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:15,120
Speaker 1: possession instead of a coin flip and some other kind

163
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 1: of renegade stuff. This is more thought out and more

164
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 1: football type. There's there's stuff about the on side kicks,

165
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:28,560
Speaker 1: there's stuff about overtime rules that are different in the XFL.

166
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 1: There's also a thing they have a twenty five second

167
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:35,079
Speaker 1: play clock instead of a forty second play clock. That

168
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:37,440
Speaker 1: to me is the most intriguing thing. As a player.

169
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:40,679
Speaker 1: You're gonna be running winsprints out there. I mean, it's

170
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:43,199
Speaker 1: gonna be a play after play after play very fast.

171
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:45,680
Speaker 1: They also have the comeback period of the game where

172
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 1: you know in the NFL, if you get a first

173
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:51,319
Speaker 1: down or the click, if it's a running down and

174
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 1: they tackle the guy that as we know, the clock

175
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 1: keeps running, well, they're gonna stop that. There's gonna get

176
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:58,560
Speaker 1: to a point late in the game where the clock's

177
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 1: gonna stop after every play, and that's gonna make mean

178
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:04,960
Speaker 1: an offensive team has to keep their foot on the gas.

179
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,120
Speaker 1: That's interesting to me. So there's a couple of things

180
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:09,960
Speaker 1: that makes some good sense and make it even harder

181
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:13,679
Speaker 1: to close games out, harder, harder, more pressure packed in

182
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:20,240
Speaker 1: the overtime periods. So and then There's also they're tinkering

183
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 1: with rules in the Pro Bowl this week too, so

184
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 1: we are all kinds of rule things up in the air,

185
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:25,439
Speaker 1: which is why how we got to our Twitter poll today.

186
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 1: Although it spans the spans both leagues, doesn't it or two?

187
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:33,599
Speaker 1: It does the Twitter pole. The one thing about the

188
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 1: XFL before we leave that topic is m Dean Blandino

189
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:41,079
Speaker 1: was the XFL head of officiating. Dean Blandino is a

190
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:44,080
Speaker 1: highly respected guy. To be honest, many people I think

191
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 1: Steve does believe he should be the NFL's head of officiating.

192
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:49,079
Speaker 1: He got away from that job, went to work for

193
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 1: the alone in that No, I know, I believe, I agree,

194
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:53,720
Speaker 1: I'm one of the many. Yeah, But now he's going

195
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:55,559
Speaker 1: to do it for the XFL, which is foolish. Why

196
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 1: isn't he doing it for the number one league instead?

197
00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 1: The XFL has Dean Blandino as it's head of officiating.

198
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:04,200
Speaker 1: Ninety eight percent of the rules, according to Blandina, are

199
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 1: the same as the NFL rules, but there are some

200
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 1: significant changes. A twenty five second clock between games. They're

201
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 1: gonna they're gonna try to get stell. Steve went through something.

202
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:16,199
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with you, And let's get to the

203
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 1: Twitter poll today. Which rule change should the NFL adopt?

204
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:23,679
Speaker 1: Should they use the XFL's overtime shootout concept? Basically, you

205
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:26,680
Speaker 1: know what a shootout is they run it in college football,

206
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 1: Basically where each team will get a couple of chances

207
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 1: to score right from their opponent's twenty five yard line.

208
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 1: I think it's three chances to score. Would that be

209
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 1: the one that they should do? Thirty three percent of

210
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:38,960
Speaker 1: I responded and say that's the fourth and fifteen attempt

211
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:40,559
Speaker 1: they're going to use in the Pro Bowl insteadiment on

212
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:44,360
Speaker 1: side kick. So if you score a touchdown and you're

213
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 1: trying to come back, you can get the ball right back.

214
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:48,199
Speaker 1: You got to start fourth and fifteen from your own

215
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 1: twenty five You got to convert that to maintain possession,

216
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:53,280
Speaker 1: or you can give it back to the opponents at

217
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:55,839
Speaker 1: first down at their own twenty five yard line. Forty

218
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:57,720
Speaker 1: seven percent of I responded and say that's the way

219
00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 1: to go. Do you like the xfls twenty five second

220
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 1: play clock is Steve said, will keep action going instead

221
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 1: of a forty second play clock? Or is there something else?

222
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 1: Eight percent like something else. I'll tell you what I

223
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 1: like right off the bat, no instant replay challenges none. Right,

224
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:15,440
Speaker 1: does that count as a rule change the NFL should adopt.

225
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:17,600
Speaker 1: To me, that would be rule number one, and it's

226
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 1: basically eliminating one rule. But I would get rid of it.

227
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:22,439
Speaker 1: And if you got to start with, don't renew the

228
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 1: replay challenges on the past interference, how about that for

229
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 1: a start? Yeah, I would agree with that. One thing

230
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 1: that the XFL does do They got one guy up

231
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:33,560
Speaker 1: top and he watches everything, says, way, wait a minute,

232
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 1: you missed an egregious call here, boom, fix it. That's

233
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 1: what he does. There's no chiming in for the head coaches,

234
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:42,800
Speaker 1: red flags, challenge flags, none of that guy. The guy

235
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:46,960
Speaker 1: upstairs reviews every play real time and makes a decision. Now,

236
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 1: the problem with that is on twenty five second clock,

237
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:50,959
Speaker 1: how many how easy is it going to be for

238
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:52,520
Speaker 1: him to get a good look at it in the

239
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:55,719
Speaker 1: allotted time left before a team's about to snap the ball,

240
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:57,240
Speaker 1: and then he says, oh, by the way, stop, go

241
00:11:57,320 --> 00:12:00,360
Speaker 1: back and fix it. That might be an issue. The

242
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:03,560
Speaker 1: twenty five second clock really makes it difficult for any

243
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:06,480
Speaker 1: eye in the sky judge to have a really good

244
00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 1: chance at reviewing anything. So there's that problem as well.

245
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:12,840
Speaker 1: But I don't know that. We all have our ideas

246
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:15,160
Speaker 1: about how to make the game better, and it looks

247
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:18,560
Speaker 1: like both lead, both the NFL and this XFL, are

248
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:21,320
Speaker 1: trying to fix some problems, some warps or some warts

249
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:23,839
Speaker 1: on the complexion of the NFL. We'll see, though I

250
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:27,960
Speaker 1: don't do I anticipate a revolution in the NFL officiating

251
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:32,079
Speaker 1: policies now couple here I want to. I'm just reading

252
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 1: and learning about some more of these changes. The overtime

253
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:38,079
Speaker 1: shootout in the XFL. Here's how they run an eleven

254
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 1: on eleven and opposite ends. Each offense lines up at

255
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 1: the five yard line, and like an NHL or soccer,

256
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 1: they take turns trying to score overtime. So they'll be

257
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 1: forty four players eleven on eleven on each end of

258
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 1: the field. Overtime periods consists of five rounds or until

259
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:55,079
Speaker 1: one team is mathematically eliminated. If they're tied after five rounds,

260
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 1: they'll play single rounds. Okay, that's big, right picture that

261
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:00,559
Speaker 1: you got your offense down there against their defense. So

262
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:03,080
Speaker 1: your offense plays, they score, then you stop, you turn around,

263
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:04,880
Speaker 1: you watch the other team they go at the other

264
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 1: end of the field, and then if they score, if

265
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:10,200
Speaker 1: they don't, you win. If they do, you turn around

266
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:12,000
Speaker 1: and you go again. You score, try to score again.

267
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:15,199
Speaker 1: So both offense and defense, opposing offenses and defense will

268
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:17,199
Speaker 1: be standing on the field waiting for the other the

269
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:20,199
Speaker 1: result of a play at the other end. Kind of

270
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:24,679
Speaker 1: a weird concept, but it's kind of cool too, and

271
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:26,679
Speaker 1: it'll be interesting to see how that plays out. And

272
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:28,680
Speaker 1: I guess that's way what's going to look like, right, Yeah,

273
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 1: at either end of the field, offense versus defense, and

274
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:34,120
Speaker 1: you do a five round and you know the score

275
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 1: will be you get two points per conversion, and we'll

276
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 1: see what happens. Um. There's this too, the double forward pass.

277
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 1: As a new rule in the XFL. You can throw

278
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:48,120
Speaker 1: two forward passes as long as they don't cross the

279
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:50,480
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage. Who cares? I mean, that's you know,

280
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:56,599
Speaker 1: that's that's nothing. That's nothing. You don't think that's not

281
00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 1: a bit of who cares? Might be something that's just

282
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:00,599
Speaker 1: a trick play. I mean, okay, you can run a

283
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:03,920
Speaker 1: different kind of trick play now. So why does that

284
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 1: why does everythink that's going to be a thing? I

285
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:09,839
Speaker 1: think it'll be a thing. You two forward passes. Yeah,

286
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 1: you can have two forward passes, but they gotta behind

287
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:13,360
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage. It's just like it's like a

288
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 1: whip screen. So it doesn't go backwards. I mean, who cares.

289
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 1: The guy can throw it again. It's always a judgment

290
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 1: call in with it reverse direction. Maybe, I don't know.

291
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:22,800
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think how that will play out. You

292
00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:25,280
Speaker 1: could throw a quick pass to your right that doesn't

293
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:27,120
Speaker 1: go beyond the line of scrimmage, and then quickly toss

294
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:29,520
Speaker 1: it back to the left side, so defense adjust to

295
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 1: the past to the right. Second one, but the second

296
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:34,720
Speaker 1: one can go deep too, you know. Yeah, and you

297
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 1: think about it. I guess the concept would be this.

298
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:40,080
Speaker 1: So you like, we've all seen it. So Josh Allen

299
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 1: takes a snap, drops back to the wide side of

300
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:45,800
Speaker 1: the field, snaps it out to Andre Roberts or whoever,

301
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:50,360
Speaker 1: the player of your choice. Oh, then we then we

302
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 1: can he could throw it back to the other side,

303
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:55,240
Speaker 1: and then now the defense has spread thin vertically and

304
00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 1: at the line of scrimmage across the field of maybe

305
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:01,800
Speaker 1: gives me. Gives me creat We're gonna talk to you

306
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:04,280
Speaker 1: and get your thoughts on these rules changes. That's our

307
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:06,640
Speaker 1: Twitter poll today. But in the meantime, we're gonna take

308
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:08,680
Speaker 1: a break and go to Florida. Well yeah, we're going

309
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:10,920
Speaker 1: to Florida. Orlando, Florida the side of the Pro Bowl,

310
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:14,520

324
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:53,680
Speaker 1: Are you done with practice today, Trevis? Are you finished

325
00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:57,000
Speaker 1: with practice? Oh? Yeah, yeah, mister m was out that

326
00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:59,280
Speaker 1: flan a little middle lineback. I pushed to man out

327
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:01,480
Speaker 1: there to the on and see what that press was about.

328
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 1: But you know I was in there. I was spending

329
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:05,920
Speaker 1: the gap, you know, I hit, uh, what's the running

330
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:07,800
Speaker 1: back mark ingram? I filled him in a whole a

331
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:10,400
Speaker 1: couple of times. You know, to put my I put

332
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 1: my neck brakes on this week. I gotta put my

333
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:14,480
Speaker 1: back braces on this week. I know, I know, you

334
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:17,000
Speaker 1: could probably play any position. What about Tremaine? How did

335
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 1: he fare out of corner? He finally found out what

336
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 1: that pressure was about, so he didn't fare pretty good.

337
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:27,280
Speaker 1: I think he'll probably I don't think he would have

338
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:30,440
Speaker 1: got drafted that cornerback just to be on zon. I

339
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:32,680
Speaker 1: don't think he's not NFL calibury when it comes to

340
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:36,040
Speaker 1: playing cornerback. Tell me about the vibe out there. You know,

341
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:38,440
Speaker 1: you've got all these guys, you've seen him playing on TV.

342
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:41,520
Speaker 1: You've played against a lot of these guys. What's it

343
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 1: like to finally get in the locker room and hang

344
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:45,640
Speaker 1: out and get to know them who they really are.

345
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 1: It's really dope, man. You get to go get the

346
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:51,360
Speaker 1: best and you get to uh, you know, pick these guys.

347
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 1: Brain man. Uh, you see this big knowls right here,

348
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:58,280
Speaker 1: you see this big I see the big Rose. Don't

349
00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:00,440
Speaker 1: worry about that. Don't worry about now. It's really good

350
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:02,240
Speaker 1: to get around guys and talk ball. Man. You get

351
00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:03,680
Speaker 1: to pick these guys brand. They're the best of the

352
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:06,240
Speaker 1: best in the league. So anytime I can pretty much,

353
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:08,399
Speaker 1: you know, pick somebody brand and try to better myself

354
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:10,760
Speaker 1: and come back to the fields and be a better player.

355
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:12,399
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm all for it. So I'm gonna use

356
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:14,040
Speaker 1: this weekend and try to get better as a football

357
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:17,040
Speaker 1: player mentally. Sure, how do you practice to get ready

358
00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:19,560
Speaker 1: for this game? Obviously? You know I can tell you

359
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:22,119
Speaker 1: barely broken sweater today's practice? Or Davis, how do you

360
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:24,600
Speaker 1: how didn't get ready to play this game this weekend?

361
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:28,760
Speaker 1: I mean, just do the thing that I usually do.

362
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:30,639
Speaker 1: Just just go out and just play hard and just

363
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 1: try to figure my technique. I know it's gonna be

364
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:35,240
Speaker 1: a lot of freestyling out there, but I understand I

365
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 1: don't want about to catch no passes on the still,

366
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:38,920
Speaker 1: so I'm gonna be out there playing for real. Miss Tasted,

367
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:41,080
Speaker 1: I know you didn't been to play of these and

368
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:43,200
Speaker 1: you play so hard out so I'm gonna have to

369
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:45,520
Speaker 1: do that with all respect to you and and much

370
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 1: of you brought to the game. So I I gotta

371
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:48,880
Speaker 1: play this series. I know guys got here fooling around,

372
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:50,280
Speaker 1: but I gotta try to give me a couple of pictures.

373
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:53,000
Speaker 1: So here's my question. What's been the biggest surprise for

374
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:55,440
Speaker 1: you getting down to Orlando and seeing the whole vibe

375
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:57,119
Speaker 1: and how it goes down there. What's been the biggest

376
00:17:57,160 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 1: surprise for you? The pride? I mean, I think just

377
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:05,159
Speaker 1: how I laid back, just how it laid back. The

378
00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:07,120
Speaker 1: other fellas are. I mean, you know, you got all

379
00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:08,920
Speaker 1: pros and Pro Bowlers in here. I think, you know,

380
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:10,640
Speaker 1: I would think they're a little more. You know, I'm

381
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:12,960
Speaker 1: a Seriously, I talked ball all the time, but guys

382
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:15,360
Speaker 1: are talking about life and just talking about just life

383
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:17,800
Speaker 1: outside of football. So that that's that's that was a

384
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:19,560
Speaker 1: bit surprising to me because I think it was gonna

385
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:22,520
Speaker 1: be all ball. Hey, Tredavious, we made a deal on

386
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:25,639
Speaker 1: our show last Friday, no more talk about the Houston

387
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:28,000
Speaker 1: playoff loss. You're probably in to do something similar, right,

388
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:30,240
Speaker 1: just to create just to say I'm over that. I

389
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:34,120
Speaker 1: gotta put up behind me now, I'll say one more seven,

390
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:37,080
Speaker 1: one more times. Yeah. Last week, last Friday, Steve and

391
00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 1: I made an agreement. We're not talking anymore about the

392
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:42,320
Speaker 1: playoff loss to Houston. Did players do something similar these

393
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:46,040
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks? Oh? Nah. So once we lost

394
00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:48,840
Speaker 1: the game, I flew down to New Orleans. I went

395
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:50,399
Speaker 1: to the game. And that's the way I kind of

396
00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:51,920
Speaker 1: cope with that. I had to get I had to

397
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:55,280
Speaker 1: get over. So Laso won a national championship, and that

398
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:57,119
Speaker 1: that that kind of city for me, and so that

399
00:18:57,320 --> 00:18:59,159
Speaker 1: that that made that that that Pep a little bit

400
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:01,440
Speaker 1: easier to smater for what. Do you have anything fun

401
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:04,480
Speaker 1: going on the rest of the week. Oh yeah, We're

419
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:51,520

421
00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:55,680
Speaker 1: I tried to do. You gotta try and win the

422
00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:57,320
Speaker 1: game so you can pay for all those people that

426
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:08,080

430
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:17,440
Speaker 1: I'm not giving no money out. I can't do it.

431
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:19,880
Speaker 1: There you go, Tadevia sounds like you're having a good time.

432
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:21,680
Speaker 1: Thanks for spending a few minutes with us here today.

433
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:27,120
Speaker 1: We really Vias White line from the practice field at

434
00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:29,720
Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl in Orlando, Florida. He sounds like he's

435
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:32,000
Speaker 1: having the time of his life. Well, I think, yeah,

436
00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:33,680
Speaker 1: he sounds about like he does every day though. That's

437
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:36,480
Speaker 1: true like that around here. He lives that way in

438
00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:38,600
Speaker 1: the snowstorm and Buffalo. He was that way in the

439
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:40,879
Speaker 1: snow game against Indianapolis. To you remember that he was

440
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:42,480
Speaker 1: loving every minute of it. And he seems to do

441
00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 1: it no matter what the weather is. He's he's loving life.

442
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:47,359
Speaker 1: It's good to see. Good. Really is. He earned his

443
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:50,560
Speaker 1: role there in the Pro Bowl, and I think I

444
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:52,200
Speaker 1: don't know if it makes seven like you did, but

445
00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:54,480
Speaker 1: he's likely to be a regular at the Pro Bowl

446
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:57,880
Speaker 1: over the next several years. When you think he made

447
00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:01,480
Speaker 1: All Pro first team, to pick twenty two of those guys, right,

448
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:04,720
Speaker 1: he made All Pro first team as a corner in

449
00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:07,680
Speaker 1: the NFL. That is really hard to do. And it

450
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:10,280
Speaker 1: tells you about the elite nature of his athleticism and

451
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:12,680
Speaker 1: how hard he works at it. And I think it

452
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:14,840
Speaker 1: was it's interesting to see too. He thought it was

453
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:16,479
Speaker 1: going to be all ball when he got down there,

454
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:18,359
Speaker 1: and really it was a surprise for him that it

455
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:20,760
Speaker 1: was nothing about ball down there. I mean, it's just

456
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:23,480
Speaker 1: about having fun, getting to know guys, enjoying it, and

457
00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:26,560
Speaker 1: reaping the benefits of what was a phenomenal season for him.

458
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:29,480
Speaker 1: So kudos to him for going down They're ready to

459
00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:32,320
Speaker 1: play hard if he needed to. But it's always easy

460
00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:34,960
Speaker 1: to dial it back. It's always it's harder to dial

461
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:36,359
Speaker 1: it up if you get down there you think it's

462
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:38,320
Speaker 1: going to be a vacation all of a sudden, you're

463
00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:42,600
Speaker 1: playing for Tom Coughlin, you know. But kudos to him

464
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:44,520
Speaker 1: for going down there, ready for it and uh and

465
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:47,080
Speaker 1: dialing it back as needed. That so good for him.

466
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:50,399
Speaker 1: But yeah, he's he's three years into what looks like

467
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:53,199
Speaker 1: it's going to be a stellar, stellar career. Good for him.

528
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:57,199
Speaker 1: the game after a week like that, and there were

529
00:24:57,240 --> 00:24:59,880
Speaker 1: some there was some bitter amigos on the NFC side.

530
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:01,760
Speaker 1: They you know, they'd put in some work. So that

531
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:04,639
Speaker 1: was the best coaching staff shell in his cue you

532
00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:06,960
Speaker 1: mentioned to you would try to win so you could

533
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:09,760
Speaker 1: pay for everybody. What's the difference, you know it back

534
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:12,720
Speaker 1: then it was ten grand to lose, twenty grand to win,

535
00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:16,520
Speaker 1: and uh and the Fangs didn't come out until the

536
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:18,280
Speaker 1: fourth quarter. If it was close, and if it was closed,

537
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:21,800
Speaker 1: everybody wanted the extra ten grand you know, so and

538
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:23,760
Speaker 1: that was that was how the game went. You know,

539
00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:26,280
Speaker 1: if it was close, it was and if it wasn't close,

540
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:29,840
Speaker 1: then you know then it was like, okay, forget it.

541
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:32,199
Speaker 1: Just to remind people back then, the Pro Bowl came

542
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:34,639
Speaker 1: the week after the Super Bowl. Typically you'd go to

543
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:38,040
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. The lights were all out. Yeah, it

544
00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:41,840
Speaker 1: was everybody was gone and forgotten every place else. There

545
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:44,119
Speaker 1: was nothing on the horizon like a super Bowl. It

546
00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:47,040
Speaker 1: was the off season and gone. So it was you

547
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:49,920

548
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:52,879
Speaker 1: you know, I mean they were done. So that sounds

00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:16,440
Speaker 1: It was just my wife and son new you know brand,

559
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:17,919
Speaker 1: you know, so it was just the three of us,

560
00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:20,439
Speaker 1: and then we went out and it was we had

561
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:22,879
Speaker 1: the whole thing, brothers and you know, it's great. It

562
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:24,800
Speaker 1: was fun. It was and it was always in Hawaii

563
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:27,720
Speaker 1: when I went, and although the venue there changed from

564
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:30,680
Speaker 1: time to time. One more question about your Pro Bowl experience.

565
00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:32,760
Speaker 1: Did there come a time when you anticipated you'd be

566
00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:34,880
Speaker 1: going to the Pro Bowl the next year? Like, could

567
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:38,440
Speaker 1: you do that? I went to seven so until the

568
00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:40,120
Speaker 1: end of the year when I like, there was one

569
00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:43,520
Speaker 1: year when I knew there was no way I wasn't

570
00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:45,280
Speaker 1: going there because it was after I went in eighty eight,

571
00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:49,000
Speaker 1: didn't go in eighty nine, didn't go in ninety, and

572
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:54,320
Speaker 1: then went in then like after the ninety ninety regular season.

573
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:57,560
Speaker 1: Eighty eight was after the eighty seven season the strike season.

574
00:26:57,600 --> 00:26:59,440
Speaker 1: So then I didn't go in eighty eight or eighty nine.

575
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 1: Then I in ninety and then ninety one and like

576
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:06,560
Speaker 1: and I think the ninety three or ninety two when

577
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:09,040
Speaker 1: I went, I knew I was headed because I had it.

578
00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:11,320
Speaker 1: I had a good that was my that was my

579
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:15,280
Speaker 1: home run year. Yeah, I felt like anyway, yeah, that's good.

580
00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:19,040
Speaker 1: Sounds like he's having fun. It is it? Is it really?

581
00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:22,360
Speaker 1: Because listen, particularly today, in today's NFL, it's a little

582
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:25,119
Speaker 1: different than I was. Yeah, they put in long hours.

583
00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:27,399
Speaker 1: They bring these guys in in the mornings, early in

584
00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:29,080
Speaker 1: the mornings and they don't get out till later. They

585
00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:31,280
Speaker 1: put an extra work. It's longer hours than it was

586
00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:32,840
Speaker 1: when I played. Don't mean the Pro Bowl, you mean

587
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:35,800
Speaker 1: regular regular season. So you get into that habit of

588
00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:38,040
Speaker 1: here's how this game's gonna work, and we're gonna do this.

589
00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:40,879
Speaker 1: We're gonna go through this process of you do A

590
00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:43,080
Speaker 1: in the morning, B in the morning, C in the morning,

591
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:46,680
Speaker 1: D in the morning. Then after lunch you go E, F, G,

592
00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:49,560
Speaker 1: H and I. You know, you do this. It's you know,

593
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:52,280
Speaker 1: it's a profession, it's an industry and they're and they're

594
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:56,040
Speaker 1: heart highly professional. So you kind of carry that to

595
00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:59,000
Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl down there. And then you get down

596
00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:03,840
Speaker 1: there and it's everything accept that. You know, it's fans everywhere,

597
00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:07,280
Speaker 1: it's both teams locker in the same room. They both

598
00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:11,119
Speaker 1: teams are like hanging out together, and it's completely different

599
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:13,320
Speaker 1: than anything you're used to. And it's and then once

600
00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:15,960
Speaker 1: you get used to that it's like, Wow, this is

601
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:18,520
Speaker 1: pretty cool. Yeah. You know, people often will say the

602
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:20,960
Speaker 1: NFL doesn't lend itself to an all star game like

603
00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:24,679
Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl Game. And when I see Tredevious react

604
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:27,399
Speaker 1: the way he does today and hear your stories, I'm like,

605
00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:29,480
Speaker 1: who cares? Who cares? If you know you know you

606
00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:31,920
Speaker 1: still it's good to get players together like that, you know,

607
00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:35,040
Speaker 1: whether it's a legitimate game or not, whether it's competitive

608
00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:37,320
Speaker 1: or not. I don't plan on watching it this week.

609
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:39,600
Speaker 1: I don't care. Just to get those people together. I

610
00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:41,520
Speaker 1: think it's a good thing. It's not. This is one

611
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:45,240
Speaker 1: thing it truly, it's not about the fans are about football.

612
00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:47,200
Speaker 1: It's about those guys having a great year and being

613
00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:50,880
Speaker 1: rewarded for it. It is, and they do. They down

614
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:52,640
Speaker 1: in Orlando. They've got, you know all they say, all

615
00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:55,960
Speaker 1: kinds of facility, got sports facility, and there's awesome and

616
00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:58,280
Speaker 1: they have conferences in soccer fields and all that stuff

617
00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:00,440
Speaker 1: going on. They have big festivals down there, and it's

618
00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:03,400
Speaker 1: all set up for things like this and this event.

619
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:06,120
Speaker 1: It's one of the few things the NFL does that

620
00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:09,520
Speaker 1: is not so much about the money in the game

621
00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:11,960
Speaker 1: and the new tickets are twenty bucks or something, you know,

622
00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:17,080
Speaker 1: but the players and the coaches, and it really is

623
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:19,160
Speaker 1: a reward for them, I think more than anything. And

624
00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:22,120
Speaker 1: I think that the players appreciate it. Yeah. Pro Bowl

625
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:24,720
Speaker 1: is Sunday, three o'clock on ESPN. The Bills they have

626
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:27,280
Speaker 1: three players there, Tradevious White do. We just heard from

627
00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:30,240
Speaker 1: Tremay and Edmonds and of course Andrey Roberts, and it

628
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:32,880
Speaker 1: was fun to talk to you. Could you imagine Tremaine

629
00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:37,920
Speaker 1: Edmonds lining up at corner he'd have a link. It's yeah,

630
00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:41,040
Speaker 1: it's like lining up against like that movie Aliens, like

631
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:43,360
Speaker 1: one of those. Yeah, he is that. He is enormous.

632
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:46,760
Speaker 1: He is so tall and long. I don't know how

633
00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:49,000
Speaker 1: you'd get around him to run a rounde Yeah, And

634
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:51,320
Speaker 1: I never realized, but Tredevious is kind of right about

635
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:53,080
Speaker 1: Andrey Roberts and knows right. We saw him in the

636
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:56,760
Speaker 1: background on that shot. Andrey Roberts doing something with golf today. Yep, yep.

637
00:29:56,800 --> 00:29:59,400
Speaker 1: They're gonna follow all kinds of stuff going around down there,

638
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:01,720
Speaker 1: and it's it's it's a great atmosphere. All right, we

639
00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:03,360
Speaker 1: got a break here. We're coming back with more. Get

640

642

658
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:04,719
Speaker 1: to make of it. I don't know what to make

659
00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:07,760
Speaker 1: of this. Which NFL, which rule chain should the NFL

660
00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:10,560
Speaker 1: adopt in your mind? That's our Twitter poll today. Let's

661
00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:13,560
Speaker 1: recap what the choices are for you on Twitter. Should

662
00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:17,000
Speaker 1: they adopt the XFLS overtime shootout concept. That's where you

663
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:19,080
Speaker 1: go eleven on eleven and each end of the field

664
00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:22,440
Speaker 1: for a five place overtime shootout. Thirty three percent say

665
00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:24,600
Speaker 1: that's the way to do it. Should they adopt the

666
00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:28,440
Speaker 1: fourth and fifteen on sidekick replacement? Forty six percent of

667
00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:30,240
Speaker 1: you say that's the way to go. And you know

668
00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:32,240
Speaker 1: what that is. It's fourth and fifteen, you score it,

669
00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:33,960
Speaker 1: you get the ball again at your own twenty five

670
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:35,800
Speaker 1: yard line. You can either give the ball to the

671
00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:37,520
Speaker 1: other team or take it at your own twenty five

672
00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:40,160
Speaker 1: and try to convert a fourth and fifteen situation to

673
00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:43,000
Speaker 1: keep the ball. Should they adopt the XFLS twenty five

674
00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:45,920
Speaker 1: second play clock keep things moving along? Thirteen percent of

675
00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:47,840
Speaker 1: you say that's a way to go. Is there something

676
00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:49,440
Speaker 1: else you have in mind? Eight percent of you say

677
00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:51,120
Speaker 1: that's a way to go. Give us a call eight

678
00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:53,800
Speaker 1: oh three oh five fifty toll free one eight eight

679
00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:57,840
Speaker 1: eight five fifty two five fifty, or it's a you

680
00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:00,160
Speaker 1: can send in a tweet for the tweet sheet. We're

681
00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:01,960
Speaker 1: just voting to Twitter poll. The tweet sheet is brought

682
00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:04,600
Speaker 1: to you by Corrigan Moving Systems, the official movers of

683
00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:06,400
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. What do you got on the tweet sheets?

684
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:09,480
Speaker 1: From Daniel? He says, fourth and fifteen. I see so

685
00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:11,800
Speaker 1: many third and longs converted. I feel like this would

686
00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:14,080
Speaker 1: have a major impact. I also like the clock stopping

687
00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:16,320
Speaker 1: after every play in the last two minutes. That's what

688
00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:19,160
Speaker 1: they call the comeback period or whatever it is in

689
00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:22,000
Speaker 1: the excess FILS comeback period. I hate when comebacks end

690
00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:24,720
Speaker 1: because someone didn't call the time out. Spike the ball

691
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:27,360
Speaker 1: to play that play is silly, et cetera. And he's

692
00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:29,480
Speaker 1: got a point. You would't see anymore that stupid spike

693
00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:31,160
Speaker 1: in the ball to stop the clock. You wouldn't waste

694
00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:33,080
Speaker 1: it down to do. It puts way more pressure on

695
00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:35,360
Speaker 1: the defense trying to keep the team out of the

696
00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:37,640
Speaker 1: end zone. Gives the offense that one more play. Plus,

697
00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:41,040
Speaker 1: when you know the play is gonna stop after the

698
00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:43,800
Speaker 1: clock is gonna stop after the play, you can still

699
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:48,440
Speaker 1: run the ball, right, Yeah, So it puts way more

700
00:32:48,520 --> 00:32:51,360
Speaker 1: pressure on a defense. You gotta but I mean, you

701
00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:53,800
Speaker 1: know it's still got that twenty five second play clock.

702
00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:56,000
Speaker 1: You still got to get that play called, but you

703
00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:58,080
Speaker 1: do get the extra play when you go down the

704
00:32:58,120 --> 00:33:00,120
Speaker 1: field and everybody's trying to get up there to the

705
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:01,920
Speaker 1: play spike the you don't have to spike the ball.

706
00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:04,000
Speaker 1: You can run up, huddle up, call a really good

707
00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:07,320
Speaker 1: play and not waste it down. That's it's I think

708
00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:10,400
Speaker 1: that's a really intriguing rule, the XFL's comeback period. And

709
00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:13,240
Speaker 1: here's how it works. In the XFL, the clock will

710
00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:16,080
Speaker 1: continue to run except during the final two minutes of

711
00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:18,840
Speaker 1: each half. During that time, the clock will stop after

712
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:23,080
Speaker 1: every play. You're right running plays, it'll stop every play. Essentially,

713
00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:24,880
Speaker 1: the team that has a lead won't be able to

714
00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:26,600
Speaker 1: run off the clock. The team that is trailing will

715
00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:29,320
Speaker 1: have a better chance of orchestrating a comeback. Maybe the

716
00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:34,360
Speaker 1: NFL should do that already. What we got what's the percentages? Well, no,

717
00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:36,760
Speaker 1: we don't offer that as a choice, but the comeback

718
00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:39,720
Speaker 1: period is something to think about. From Jack his tweet

719
00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:42,000
Speaker 1: on the tweet sheet, it's awesome. Impossible to get an

720
00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:44,520
Speaker 1: outside kick now. Either go back to the old onside

721
00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:46,800
Speaker 1: kick rules with the overload, or go with the fourth

722
00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:50,480
Speaker 1: and fifteen, at least give the losing team a puncher's chance. Also,

723
00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:53,480
Speaker 1: either get rid of replay challenges or make all calls reviewable.

724
00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:55,960
Speaker 1: Stop middling it. Okay, let's get rid of it. I'm

725
00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:58,680
Speaker 1: with you, Jack, get rid of replay challenges. Yeah, or

726
00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:01,080
Speaker 1: make all calls reviewable. I don't want to see that.

727
00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:03,880
Speaker 1: I think that would open up even more problems. But yeah,

728
00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:06,440
Speaker 1: I like that. I think I don't think. If you're

729
00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:10,600
Speaker 1: gonna modify NFL rules, can we please start with replaying

730
00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:13,360
Speaker 1: because it is the biggest problem. It is the biggest problem.

731
00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:14,920
Speaker 1: Start with it one way or the other. Maybe you

732
00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:17,960
Speaker 1: do what Jack says, make everything reviewable, and yeah they

733
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:20,280
Speaker 1: are middling it, and yeah they're adding layers and layers

734
00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:23,640
Speaker 1: of complication, but at least start with replay. Steve, Yeah

735
00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:25,560
Speaker 1: you can. And if you try and look down the

736
00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:27,600
Speaker 1: road and anticipate what that would look like, because what

737
00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:29,600
Speaker 1: they're saying is you just need a sky judge. Up

738
00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:31,440
Speaker 1: there a guy who watches the game, just like all

739
00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:33,640
Speaker 1: of us do, and he say, well, wait, that looked

740
00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:35,200
Speaker 1: a little close. You know. Well he would see that

741
00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:37,280
Speaker 1: as well, and he'd say, okay, let's get an angle

742
00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:38,960
Speaker 1: of it. See if we look at it, and if

743
00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:40,959
Speaker 1: and everything else just just keep going on the field

744
00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:42,560
Speaker 1: keeps going. They get ready for the next snap. They

745
00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:44,400
Speaker 1: do all that stuff. And if he can get a

746
00:34:44,440 --> 00:34:45,880
Speaker 1: look at it and say hey, wait a minute and

747
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:47,800
Speaker 1: push the button, or if there's an engregious foule, he

748
00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:49,759
Speaker 1: can push the button called out and say hey listen,

749
00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:52,239
Speaker 1: let's review this real quick, and then they take a

750
00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:55,919
Speaker 1: good look at it. The problem with that, and here's

751
00:34:55,960 --> 00:35:00,279
Speaker 1: my foreshadowing of what would look like, teams would get

752
00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:02,520
Speaker 1: files on who the replay official is going to be

753
00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:08,120
Speaker 1: in their game, the official, the sky judge. Because they

754
00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:10,000
Speaker 1: do it now for the white hats. Sure they know

755
00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:12,720
Speaker 1: what these crews do. These guys called twenty five penalties

756
00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:14,840
Speaker 1: against this last you know what I mean. I'm exaggerate.

757
00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:16,200
Speaker 1: I don't know the numbers, but you know this guy

758
00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:18,959
Speaker 1: called a bunch of penalties against us. This crew didn't

759
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:23,000
Speaker 1: call any so our corners when this other cruise doing it,

760
00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:24,960
Speaker 1: they never call anything. So you can play physical with

761
00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:26,440
Speaker 1: these guys. You can grab the hold, you can get

762
00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:29,080
Speaker 1: an advantage this crew. You got to play more hands free.

763
00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:32,520
Speaker 1: But we'll run routes offensively. The put that puts that

764
00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:34,879
Speaker 1: defense in pressure like that to maybe grab or hold

765
00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:37,920
Speaker 1: like that. So it's they have files on guys like that,

766
00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:39,759
Speaker 1: and you can bet they put files together on this

767
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:44,640
Speaker 1: replay officials overturns or chime ins or whatever it is,

768
00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:48,960
Speaker 1: and they do the same thing, and probably all of

769
00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:54,719
Speaker 1: us would start learning their names as well, you know. Yeah, right,

770
00:35:54,840 --> 00:35:57,680
Speaker 1: I'm open to discuss, maybe not today because it's not

771
00:35:57,840 --> 00:36:01,799
Speaker 1: the long topic of this, but a sky judge. I'm

772
00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:04,480
Speaker 1: open to listen to ideas about that. I do think

773
00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:08,600
Speaker 1: it would be better than this. Yeah. Yeah, again, you're

774
00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:11,440
Speaker 1: the problem I have, just initially with the sky judges

775
00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:14,040
Speaker 1: that you're subject to. Whoever that sky judge is. Some

776
00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:16,160
Speaker 1: will be good, some might be not as good, and

777
00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:17,640
Speaker 1: if you get a bad one, you're in trouble. The

778
00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:20,160
Speaker 1: game is in trouble, I think, And I think about

779
00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:24,440
Speaker 1: the thing I think about as well, how would the

780
00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:29,640
Speaker 1: league choose to deploy its sky judges. Would this guy

781
00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:33,319
Speaker 1: judge always be with this officiating crew or would they

782
00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:36,719
Speaker 1: you know, I think you Wouldn't you want to move

783
00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:38,400
Speaker 1: them around? I think you do. I think you do,

784
00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:41,560
Speaker 1: because if it would mean more uniform officiating throughout the league,

785
00:36:41,560 --> 00:36:44,320
Speaker 1: I think, right, because you wouldn't want this crew and

786
00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:47,960
Speaker 1: this sky judge doing things a certain way because that

787
00:36:48,640 --> 00:36:50,960
Speaker 1: changes a lot about the game. Right, Yeah, so I

788
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:53,200
Speaker 1: think you'd make the Scott, you know, parachute the sky

789
00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:56,279
Speaker 1: judge in differently than the other the officiating crew so

790
00:36:56,440 --> 00:36:58,840
Speaker 1: that they don't get to where the officiating crew relies

791
00:36:58,920 --> 00:37:00,719
Speaker 1: on that guy all the time, right, they get to

792
00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:04,480
Speaker 1: know how he'll I'm gonna let this, he'll let this go.

793
00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:07,560
Speaker 1: I'm gonna call this a touchdown because I know he'll

794
00:37:07,640 --> 00:37:08,920
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, that kind of thing he'll

795
00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:13,239
Speaker 1: clean up or whatever. They'll call the game without that

796
00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:14,840
Speaker 1: in them. Back in my mind, I would think, what

797
00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:17,280
Speaker 1: do you think which rule change should the NFL adopt?

798
00:37:17,560 --> 00:37:19,319
Speaker 1: Give us a call. We got phone lines open eight

799
00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:22,160
Speaker 1: o three five fifty and toll free one eight eight

800
00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:25,000
Speaker 1: eight five fifty two five fifty from Nikki on the

801
00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:29,360
Speaker 1: tweet sheet. None don't adopt any of these rule changes

802
00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:32,560
Speaker 1: in the NFL. Nikki says, there are certainly ways they

803
00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:35,000
Speaker 1: can't improve the game, but I don't trust the NFL

804
00:37:35,080 --> 00:37:37,759
Speaker 1: to make good changes. Most of their recent changes have

805
00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:40,920
Speaker 1: been have done more harm than good. Example, replay and

806
00:37:41,040 --> 00:37:43,759
Speaker 1: roughing the passer et cetera. Hard to argue with that.

807
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:47,360
Speaker 1: Hard to argue that the recent rules changes have improved

808
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:50,640
Speaker 1: the game, including especially including replay, depends on what you mean.

809
00:37:51,120 --> 00:37:53,000
Speaker 1: I mean, there's some of the things they're doing that

810
00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:57,239
Speaker 1: are pluses. For example, for example, the quarterbacks are staying

811
00:37:57,280 --> 00:37:59,080
Speaker 1: on the field more now than they have in the past.

812
00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:02,120
Speaker 1: And I get some of the stuff is like the

813
00:38:02,239 --> 00:38:04,359
Speaker 1: kickoff stuff. I mean, now the kickoff is a joke.

814
00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:08,160
Speaker 1: Nobody's covering kicks, and you know, I get that. But

815
00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:11,640
Speaker 1: some of the rule changes they're doing and are are

816
00:38:11,800 --> 00:38:14,200
Speaker 1: good for the game and for the players. And I

817
00:38:14,280 --> 00:38:16,160
Speaker 1: do think they're moving in the right direction. And I

818
00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:19,759
Speaker 1: do think eventually we're gonna have a system in place

819
00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:22,560
Speaker 1: for this replay whatever, whatever name of what you want,

820
00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:24,160
Speaker 1: We're gonna have a system in place we all like

821
00:38:24,280 --> 00:38:27,120
Speaker 1: and agree with and can get right. Um, so I

822
00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:29,959
Speaker 1: think they're moving in the right direction. Um. I don't

823
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:33,200
Speaker 1: agree with him about you know that there's none of

824
00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:35,920
Speaker 1: these rules that are worth looking at. But and I

825
00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:40,160
Speaker 1: roughing the passer, I mean, come on, I don't have

826
00:38:40,200 --> 00:38:42,279
Speaker 1: a problem with it as long as they call it consistently.

827
00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:44,839
Speaker 1: I don't think most of us could not care less

828
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:47,120
Speaker 1: as long as the game looks like football, and you

829
00:38:47,160 --> 00:38:49,400
Speaker 1: can say, man that the quarterback never getting hit and

830
00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:51,400
Speaker 1: that it doesn't look like football. Now, come on, spare me,

831
00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:54,040
Speaker 1: and this the game the way it is now. You

832
00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:58,879
Speaker 1: got thirty two quarterbacks and I and maybe Ben Roethlisberger

833
00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:01,560
Speaker 1: whose elbow this week not because of a hit or

834
00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:04,720
Speaker 1: an egregious action. It was just you know, maybe age related.

835
00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:07,600
Speaker 1: Josh Allen breaking out of the pocket, getting hit and

836
00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:13,120
Speaker 1: having a concussion, missed of half of one game. It

837
00:39:13,239 --> 00:39:16,000
Speaker 1: was another quarterback that got injured this year. It's hard

838
00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:20,200
Speaker 1: to think of one, right, right, Carson Wentz, you know,

839
00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:22,840
Speaker 1: he's had some trouble, but he you know, and that

840
00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:25,000
Speaker 1: was in the playoff game, so that it just doesn't

841
00:39:25,040 --> 00:39:26,840
Speaker 1: happen anymore. But you know, back in the day, you

842
00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:32,080
Speaker 1: got quarterbacks getting knocked cold, you know. So it's just

843
00:39:32,239 --> 00:39:34,480
Speaker 1: better to have the best players on the field a lot.

844
00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:38,759
Speaker 1: And that means that means the premier wide receivers as well,

845
00:39:38,840 --> 00:39:41,360
Speaker 1: getting targeted up and getting getting tuned up by a

846
00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:43,200
Speaker 1: safety who can come in with a point of his helmet.

847
00:39:43,239 --> 00:39:45,759
Speaker 1: So I think all that stuff starting with roughing the

848
00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:48,400
Speaker 1: passer all the way through the safety rules, and you

849
00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:50,879
Speaker 1: get plays like the Cody Ford play, the peel back

850
00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:53,960
Speaker 1: block that are bad calls. But those are bad calls.

851
00:39:54,680 --> 00:39:56,880
Speaker 1: You're gonna get those anyway, whether the rules right or not.

852
00:39:57,120 --> 00:40:01,440
Speaker 1: So you know, don't you know that's not a negative.

853
00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:04,080
Speaker 1: So I'm I don't buy this thing that the league

854
00:40:04,200 --> 00:40:07,520
Speaker 1: is getting it wrong all the time. Certainly some stuff

855
00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:11,879
Speaker 1: doesn't work out the maament. What other pro sports league

856
00:40:11,880 --> 00:40:13,640
Speaker 1: tinkers with it trying to get it right more than

857
00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:19,360
Speaker 1: the NFL. None. Yeah, some people think that's the problem

858
00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:22,279
Speaker 1: they tinker too much. Yeah, maybe, but they also have it.

859
00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:25,359
Speaker 1: They also have a nine thousand pound gorilla that has

860
00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:28,200
Speaker 1: grown into maybe the greatest sports league on the planet

861
00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:31,120
Speaker 1: because they do a couple of other from the tweet

862
00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:33,440
Speaker 1: sheet b Bills Fan twenty two, just get rid of

863
00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:37,440
Speaker 1: the stupid offensive pass interference defensive pass interference challenge and

864
00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:40,439
Speaker 1: leave the game alone. Too much tinkering. From Brian says,

865
00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:42,640
Speaker 1: I'd like to I'd like them to speed up the

866
00:40:42,680 --> 00:40:45,279
Speaker 1: game a bit. The twenty five second play cock clock

867
00:40:45,320 --> 00:40:48,480
Speaker 1: would be fantastic. And from Jamie, when he answers the

868
00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:51,160
Speaker 1: question which rules to the NFL adapt, Jamie says, I

869
00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:53,200
Speaker 1: would love to see a fourth and fifteen added. With

870
00:40:53,239 --> 00:40:55,439
Speaker 1: the Bills being involved in so many one score games,

871
00:40:55,800 --> 00:40:58,280
Speaker 1: I think it will make the fourth quarters even more exciting,

872
00:40:58,360 --> 00:41:03,000
Speaker 1: slash terrifying to good point good point one score games

873
00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:05,120
Speaker 1: will be in play now for a long time. Are

874
00:41:05,160 --> 00:41:07,879
Speaker 1: you and I? I assume which is probably the wrong

875
00:41:07,960 --> 00:41:09,600
Speaker 1: thing to do, that you and I are totally on

876
00:41:09,680 --> 00:41:12,400
Speaker 1: the same page. But this coach is challenge on OPI DPI,

877
00:41:12,600 --> 00:41:16,440
Speaker 1: offensive passive affairs, defensive PAS affairs. That's got to go away, right, Yeah, yes,

878
00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:18,960
Speaker 1: that's that's totally off the board. Now. They said it

879
00:41:19,040 --> 00:41:22,520
Speaker 1: was just for one year and they and they totally

880
00:41:22,640 --> 00:41:26,880
Speaker 1: stymied it by never ever, you know, overturning any of

881
00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:31,520
Speaker 1: the calls. The league totally stonewalled the coaches wishes. I

882
00:41:31,600 --> 00:41:35,120
Speaker 1: think that goes away, right, and I'm happy about it, yes, yes, yeah,

883
00:41:35,239 --> 00:41:38,239
Speaker 1: And you're right. The league, you know, the coaches kind

884
00:41:38,280 --> 00:41:41,280
Speaker 1: of jammed that proposal through last year at the spring meetings,

885
00:41:41,320 --> 00:41:45,720
Speaker 1: and then the league decided, the officials decided after calling

886
00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:48,720
Speaker 1: the play in preseason, the officials decided in regular season,

887
00:41:48,960 --> 00:41:51,879
Speaker 1: we're not going to reverse any more DPI OPI. Really,

888
00:41:51,960 --> 00:41:55,000
Speaker 1: that's what they did. Did that just that was totally egregious,

889
00:41:55,040 --> 00:41:57,240
Speaker 1: and when it was called on the field, it stood

890
00:41:57,400 --> 00:42:01,319
Speaker 1: almost like almost ninety percent of the time, they would

891
00:42:01,400 --> 00:42:03,759
Speaker 1: not review it. Thirteen percent of them were over twenty,

892
00:42:03,840 --> 00:42:06,080
Speaker 1: so eighty seven percent of them stayed just while they

893
00:42:06,120 --> 00:42:10,239
Speaker 1: were where they were good or bad. And they recognized

894
00:42:10,280 --> 00:42:12,680
Speaker 1: early that it was the can of worms. They did

895
00:42:12,760 --> 00:42:15,439
Speaker 1: not want any part of right, and so they said,

896
00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:18,520
Speaker 1: we're not gonna kind of gave the little stop that.

897
00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:20,960
Speaker 1: So we'll take your phone calls on this and we'll

898
00:42:20,960 --> 00:42:23,480
Speaker 1: do it while you return. What rules change do you

899
00:42:23,520 --> 00:42:25,920
Speaker 1: think the NFL should adopt? Give us a call eight

907
00:43:00,640 --> 00:43:03,040
Speaker 1: changes to the NFL adopt. Let's take a phone call

908
00:43:03,160 --> 00:43:05,000
Speaker 1: or two. Let's go to Mark in Buffalo. Hello, Mark,

909
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:07,120
Speaker 1: you're on the air with this. Hi, guys, how are

910
00:43:07,120 --> 00:43:10,759
Speaker 1: you okay? Hey? You guys can correct me if I'm wrong,

911
00:43:11,200 --> 00:43:15,399
Speaker 1: But I believe the replay system is flawed at its core.

912
00:43:15,560 --> 00:43:19,440
Speaker 1: And this is why, if I'm not mistaken, if you

913
00:43:19,600 --> 00:43:23,600
Speaker 1: have a local, regional, or national telecast, there are different

914
00:43:23,719 --> 00:43:27,239
Speaker 1: numbers of cameras at each one of those games. And

915
00:43:27,480 --> 00:43:29,560
Speaker 1: if that is the case, which I believe it is,

916
00:43:30,560 --> 00:43:33,600
Speaker 1: then you're not refereeing your games evenly through your league

917
00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:36,600
Speaker 1: because well, first of all, and I let you finish, Mark,

918
00:43:36,800 --> 00:43:40,760
Speaker 1: all the games are telecast. Regular season games are telecast

919
00:43:40,840 --> 00:43:44,360
Speaker 1: by networks. But you are right, there are different cameras involved.

920
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:48,160
Speaker 1: A broadcast is going to Buffalo and Tampa Bay, say,

921
00:43:48,320 --> 00:43:50,960
Speaker 1: it has fewer cameras than a broadcast going to Dallas

922
00:43:51,040 --> 00:43:53,480
Speaker 1: in New York City, Right, So you'd have more cameras

923
00:43:53,520 --> 00:43:56,200
Speaker 1: than more opportunities to correct problems via replay. Is that

924
00:43:56,280 --> 00:43:58,760
Speaker 1: what your point is? And the replay system is totally

925
00:43:58,880 --> 00:44:02,799
Speaker 1: dependent on the angle and the view of the play. Ye,

926
00:44:03,080 --> 00:44:06,279
Speaker 1: So how many times in certain games have plays not

927
00:44:06,760 --> 00:44:09,520
Speaker 1: been overturned because they had one or two or three

928
00:44:09,600 --> 00:44:11,879
Speaker 1: last camera angles than they did at a national tell

929
00:44:11,960 --> 00:44:13,960
Speaker 1: ice game? Yeah? I see your point. Mark, here's the

930
00:44:14,040 --> 00:44:20,680
Speaker 1: problem with your point. It doesn't matter if it doesn't

931
00:44:20,719 --> 00:44:22,880
Speaker 1: matter to the team on the West coast who is

932
00:44:22,960 --> 00:44:26,040
Speaker 1: watching two East Coast teams play on Monday night football game,

933
00:44:26,120 --> 00:44:28,640
Speaker 1: because it's got to be fair for the two teams involved.

934
00:44:29,040 --> 00:44:31,000
Speaker 1: And the two teams involved in the game have the

935
00:44:31,080 --> 00:44:33,959
Speaker 1: same number of cameras for each of them, and there's

936
00:44:34,040 --> 00:44:35,960
Speaker 1: no way of knowing, and there's no way to predict,

937
00:44:36,040 --> 00:44:40,440
Speaker 1: and it's a total random which team will benefit by

938
00:44:40,520 --> 00:44:44,640
Speaker 1: the number of cameras there or not there. So certainly

939
00:44:44,680 --> 00:44:46,440
Speaker 1: a Monday night football game has all the cameras you

940
00:44:46,480 --> 00:44:50,560
Speaker 1: can imagine, but a Sunday afternoon game in Jacksonville does not.

941
00:44:51,239 --> 00:44:54,239
Speaker 1: So it's the only question is is it fair for

942
00:44:54,320 --> 00:44:56,680
Speaker 1: the teams that are actually playing in that game? And

943
00:44:57,320 --> 00:44:59,719
Speaker 1: that's it. Now, there's a difference in that game as

944
00:44:59,760 --> 00:45:01,719
Speaker 1: can paired to a game across the country, But the

945
00:45:01,800 --> 00:45:03,839
Speaker 1: two teams involved in the game, it's fair for those

946
00:45:04,080 --> 00:45:08,640
Speaker 1: they'd be officiated by the same rules rules. Yes, shouldn't

947
00:45:08,640 --> 00:45:11,320
Speaker 1: they be officiated with the same equipment a game in

948
00:45:11,400 --> 00:45:13,759
Speaker 1: Buffalo or a game in Jacksonville and it's Monday night

949
00:45:13,840 --> 00:45:16,359
Speaker 1: side game, you can yeah, you can make that argument easily,

950
00:45:16,400 --> 00:45:18,399
Speaker 1: and you're right, it is a flaw. If you want

951
00:45:18,400 --> 00:45:20,839
Speaker 1: to be fair for the games across the board, yeah,

952
00:45:21,160 --> 00:45:22,840
Speaker 1: but if you want to be fair for the teams involved,

953
00:45:22,880 --> 00:45:25,520
Speaker 1: it's obvious that you know they're gonna have the same

954
00:45:25,840 --> 00:45:29,800
Speaker 1: But guys, you're you're you're ignoring the fact that, Okay,

955
00:45:29,960 --> 00:45:32,400
Speaker 1: it may be fair for the two teams involved in

956
00:45:32,520 --> 00:45:35,200
Speaker 1: the game, so who who who should else should be

957
00:45:35,239 --> 00:45:39,240
Speaker 1: involved in that game? But what about restanding? What about

958
00:45:39,520 --> 00:45:42,759
Speaker 1: I mean, every game affects every other game. I'm not

959
00:45:42,840 --> 00:45:44,880
Speaker 1: ignoring the fact. By the way, I agree with you.

960
00:45:45,040 --> 00:45:47,880
Speaker 1: I think that there's you got two different standards of

961
00:45:48,400 --> 00:45:51,120
Speaker 1: big games Sunday night Monday night and not big games,

962
00:45:51,160 --> 00:45:53,160
Speaker 1: and that can't beat if you're gonna be one hundred

963
00:45:53,160 --> 00:45:55,239
Speaker 1: percent fair, that can't be no matter if it is

964
00:45:55,320 --> 00:45:57,520
Speaker 1: fair to the two teams involved in this game right

965
00:45:57,600 --> 00:45:59,320
Speaker 1: here at this place, you're right and that and that

966
00:45:59,480 --> 00:46:01,600
Speaker 1: has been a we and we've discussed that on the show,

967
00:46:01,760 --> 00:46:03,400
Speaker 1: and we time I was on the end, I was

968
00:46:03,440 --> 00:46:05,840
Speaker 1: in the TV industry, they're well aware of it. But

969
00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:09,040
Speaker 1: here's the thing. The push to get it right in

970
00:46:09,160 --> 00:46:12,720
Speaker 1: every game was so great that the league was willing

971
00:46:12,760 --> 00:46:14,239
Speaker 1: to say, okay, as long as it's fair for the

972
00:46:14,280 --> 00:46:16,480
Speaker 1: two teams in the game, we're willing to live with

973
00:46:16,520 --> 00:46:19,080
Speaker 1: the fact that this game's gonna have eight cameras and

974
00:46:19,200 --> 00:46:23,280
Speaker 1: this game's gonna have twenty two cameras. So that's the difference.

975
00:46:23,440 --> 00:46:28,080
Speaker 1: And the league was so willing to get certain calls

976
00:46:28,160 --> 00:46:30,640
Speaker 1: right in whatever game they were doing that they didn't.

977
00:46:30,760 --> 00:46:32,400
Speaker 1: They said, listen, you're gonna have to live with the

978
00:46:32,440 --> 00:46:34,040
Speaker 1: fact that some of these games are gonna have better

979
00:46:34,120 --> 00:46:36,400
Speaker 1: angles than others. And you've seen it Monday Night Football.

980
00:46:36,400 --> 00:46:38,920
Speaker 1: They've got every camera angle you can possibly think of.

981
00:46:39,000 --> 00:46:42,680
Speaker 1: They got cameras in the pylons right, and not every

982
00:46:42,719 --> 00:46:45,080
Speaker 1: stadium has that, not every game has that, not every

983
00:46:45,120 --> 00:46:48,360
Speaker 1: game has the reverse angle kart camera and all that stuff.

984
00:46:48,400 --> 00:46:51,439
Speaker 1: So yeah, the league was willing to live with that discrepancy,

985
00:46:52,120 --> 00:46:55,399
Speaker 1: as you know, in order to get certain things right

986
00:46:55,480 --> 00:46:58,120
Speaker 1: about the games. And they figured, and mark your right,

987
00:46:59,280 --> 00:47:03,520
Speaker 1: most fans don't appreciate that, but it's absolutely true. At

988
00:47:03,560 --> 00:47:08,320
Speaker 1: one last point, if we're completely honest about it, Basically,

989
00:47:08,400 --> 00:47:10,319
Speaker 1: what it always comes down to is the same thing.

990
00:47:11,080 --> 00:47:14,400
Speaker 1: For them to increase numbers of cameras through the league

991
00:47:14,760 --> 00:47:17,759
Speaker 1: comes down to money. Cost somebody money. It's going to

992
00:47:17,840 --> 00:47:20,720
Speaker 1: cost the TV stations, or it's going to cost the league.

993
00:47:21,040 --> 00:47:23,719
Speaker 1: And they have made a determination that they'll live with

994
00:47:23,800 --> 00:47:26,040
Speaker 1: the system the way it is, as bad as it is,

995
00:47:26,880 --> 00:47:28,680
Speaker 1: rather than to pay the money to do it right.

996
00:47:28,719 --> 00:47:30,080
Speaker 1: And it's it's going to come down to this too.

997
00:47:30,160 --> 00:47:31,960
Speaker 1: Now the league is getting bigger and bigger and bigger.

998
00:47:31,960 --> 00:47:34,040
Speaker 1: And here's another thing too. You notice when they put

999
00:47:34,080 --> 00:47:35,839
Speaker 1: the new turf down in the stadium here in one

1000
00:47:35,880 --> 00:47:39,279
Speaker 1: Bill's drive they've left, they put trenches, they have made

1001
00:47:39,360 --> 00:47:42,800
Speaker 1: sure that they had the pylon cam's wired here in

1002
00:47:42,920 --> 00:47:46,560
Speaker 1: this stadium. Don't know if it's worth works for every game,

1003
00:47:47,719 --> 00:47:51,520
Speaker 1: but the simple fact of the matter is some stadiums

1004
00:47:51,600 --> 00:47:55,880
Speaker 1: are equipped with surround sound three sixty where they can

1005
00:47:55,960 --> 00:47:59,640
Speaker 1: go the stay the cameras actually stay in the stadium

1006
00:47:59,640 --> 00:48:02,160
Speaker 1: and it's run by the scoreboard people, the production people

1007
00:48:02,640 --> 00:48:05,160
Speaker 1: at at with the team, and those can be made

1008
00:48:05,160 --> 00:48:09,440
Speaker 1: available to television networks as well. So little by little,

1009
00:48:09,640 --> 00:48:12,880
Speaker 1: the teams individually are taking more and more on themselves

1010
00:48:13,239 --> 00:48:15,719
Speaker 1: to provide more and more content for their websites, for

1011
00:48:15,800 --> 00:48:19,000
Speaker 1: their social media plays for shows like ours, So more

1012
00:48:19,040 --> 00:48:22,320
Speaker 1: and more you'll see more and more cameras across the

1013
00:48:22,440 --> 00:48:25,200
Speaker 1: board have more and more be involved in more and

1014
00:48:25,280 --> 00:48:28,560
Speaker 1: more games. But for now, you're right, there's a discrepancy

1015
00:48:28,680 --> 00:48:31,120
Speaker 1: some cameras. Some stadiums just aren't set up to have

1016
00:48:31,320 --> 00:48:36,200
Speaker 1: multiple cameras that are not controlled by the by the networks.

1017
00:48:36,600 --> 00:48:39,080
Speaker 1: Called from Bill in Maryland. Hello, Bill, you're on the air,

1018
00:48:40,239 --> 00:48:44,400
Speaker 1: Hey Dale Wager, how are you doing today? Good? The

1019
00:48:44,560 --> 00:48:47,800
Speaker 1: thing I like to see changes on kickoffs. If the

1020
00:48:47,960 --> 00:48:50,800
Speaker 1: player catches the football in the end zone on a kickoff,

1021
00:48:51,200 --> 00:48:52,799
Speaker 1: he has to run it out of the end zone.

1022
00:48:54,880 --> 00:49:00,239
Speaker 1: Why Why? Because it alleviates what happened to the Bills

1023
00:49:00,280 --> 00:49:03,920
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. Like he gave he gave himself up apparently,

1024
00:49:03,960 --> 00:49:06,440
Speaker 1: but he didn't kneel down. If he catches the ball

1025
00:49:06,480 --> 00:49:08,120
Speaker 1: in the end zone, might not run it out right,

1026
00:49:08,160 --> 00:49:09,880
Speaker 1: so you're saying too as well as if he catches,

1027
00:49:09,880 --> 00:49:11,560
Speaker 1: he's got to run it out Otherwise you gotta let

1028
00:49:11,600 --> 00:49:14,640
Speaker 1: it drop. Yeah. If he lets the drop and gaw

1029
00:49:14,680 --> 00:49:16,640
Speaker 1: it back the end zone, it's a touchback. So why

1030
00:49:16,640 --> 00:49:18,320
Speaker 1: are you catching in the end What if it drops

1031
00:49:18,360 --> 00:49:21,120
Speaker 1: and just stays in the end zone and it's a

1032
00:49:21,160 --> 00:49:23,720
Speaker 1: touch back? Okay, As soon as the ball hits the ground.

1033
00:49:24,160 --> 00:49:25,680
Speaker 1: If he doesn't catch it, it's a touch back in

1034
00:49:25,760 --> 00:49:30,279
Speaker 1: your mind. Yeah, okay, yeah, and that that would, yeah,

1035
00:49:30,400 --> 00:49:32,560
Speaker 1: certainly solve the problem they had at this being of

1036
00:49:32,600 --> 00:49:34,480
Speaker 1: the second half of the Bills game, last game. But

1037
00:49:35,200 --> 00:49:36,719
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know how, I don't know if

1038
00:49:36,760 --> 00:49:40,160
Speaker 1: it'll Yeah, that's fine, I get it. Thanks for a call.

1039
00:49:40,280 --> 00:49:42,680
Speaker 1: Let's go to uh Andy and oldie end. Hello, Andy,

1040
00:49:43,400 --> 00:49:46,799
Speaker 1: how you doing good? Good? What do you guys feel

1041
00:49:46,800 --> 00:49:51,000
Speaker 1: about a anonymous sky judge? And just like in baseball,

1042
00:49:51,520 --> 00:49:54,200
Speaker 1: if there is a challenge, he makes the final ruling.

1043
00:49:54,320 --> 00:49:57,040
Speaker 1: It takes the owners off the head official to kind

1044
00:49:57,040 --> 00:49:59,960
Speaker 1: of back his guys, mostly for the offensive, defensive passetor fear,

1045
00:50:00,920 --> 00:50:04,919
Speaker 1: but for all calls. Why would you think he's gonna

1046
00:50:04,920 --> 00:50:08,799
Speaker 1: be anonymous? I don't want him anonymous. Well, you guys

1047
00:50:08,880 --> 00:50:10,400
Speaker 1: brought up the fact, like how the teams do the

1048
00:50:10,400 --> 00:50:12,000
Speaker 1: studies on what they can get away with it, what

1049
00:50:12,080 --> 00:50:14,680
Speaker 1: they can't get away with I thought anonymous would be

1050
00:50:14,719 --> 00:50:16,000
Speaker 1: the way to do it. Well, there's no way to

1051
00:50:16,080 --> 00:50:17,759
Speaker 1: keep him anonymous because he's gonna be up there in

1052
00:50:17,800 --> 00:50:19,520
Speaker 1: the press box with everybody else. And then you just

1053
00:50:19,640 --> 00:50:22,080
Speaker 1: make it one level of this team's able to find

1054
00:50:22,120 --> 00:50:24,040
Speaker 1: out who those guys are and this team isn't. There's

1055
00:50:24,080 --> 00:50:26,680
Speaker 1: no way you can keep it anonymous because the owners

1056
00:50:26,719 --> 00:50:29,080
Speaker 1: are gonna ask who it is. You know, they're gonna

1057
00:50:29,080 --> 00:50:31,959
Speaker 1: want accountability, and you can't have you. They're not gonna

1058
00:50:32,040 --> 00:50:36,600
Speaker 1: there's no way anybody, the coaches, the executives, owners, competition

1059
00:50:36,640 --> 00:50:39,080
Speaker 1: committee will go with having somebody who's not accountable to

1060
00:50:39,160 --> 00:50:42,800
Speaker 1: them for what he does on a week to week basis.

1061
00:50:42,920 --> 00:50:45,200
Speaker 1: Not only will they be know who they are, they're

1062
00:50:45,200 --> 00:50:47,440
Speaker 1: gonna keep track of how they do. They do that

1063
00:50:47,560 --> 00:50:51,480
Speaker 1: with the officials. Now, So, I mean, I get your point,

1064
00:50:52,000 --> 00:50:54,040
Speaker 1: but it's not the fact that guy's anonymous or whether

1065
00:50:54,080 --> 00:50:55,600
Speaker 1: he's not. It's just a fact that how is it

1066
00:50:55,640 --> 00:50:57,400
Speaker 1: going to affect the game with you and I watching it?

1067
00:50:57,480 --> 00:50:58,680
Speaker 1: Am I gonna have to sit there and wait for

1068
00:50:58,800 --> 00:51:01,480
Speaker 1: some you know, this guy gonna chime in six times

1069
00:51:01,520 --> 00:51:04,680
Speaker 1: a game? Or is he gonna just be out of

1070
00:51:04,680 --> 00:51:07,920
Speaker 1: the picture altogether? And that's that's gonna be the real question.

1071
00:51:08,000 --> 00:51:10,279
Speaker 1: How is this guy gonna do it? And they're gonna

1072
00:51:10,320 --> 00:51:12,160
Speaker 1: keep track of that stuff, There's no question about it.

1073
00:51:12,239 --> 00:51:14,400
Speaker 1: There's no way they're gonna let somebody do it without

1074
00:51:14,440 --> 00:51:16,560
Speaker 1: being held accountable. Thanks for your call. We're gonna take

1075
00:51:16,560 --> 00:51:18,239
Speaker 1: a break. We're gonna come back in the next hour.

1078
00:51:24,480 --> 00:51:27,120
Speaker 1: talk more with you. Which of the rules changes from

1079

1107

1156
00:55:24,920 --> 00:55:26,960

1157
00:55:27,200 --> 00:55:30,319
Speaker 1: overtime rule shootout concepts where you got and we talk

1158
00:55:30,360 --> 00:55:32,160
Speaker 1: about what it would look like. We'd have an offense

1159
00:55:32,200 --> 00:55:33,840
Speaker 1: and a defense watching and the other end of the

1160
00:55:33,920 --> 00:55:36,719
Speaker 1: field while this off the opposing offense and defense you

1161
00:55:36,840 --> 00:55:39,840
Speaker 1: went against each other at the other end, right, So

1162
00:55:39,960 --> 00:55:43,480
Speaker 1: they run that play down there. So you would think, okay,

1163
00:55:43,560 --> 00:55:46,520
Speaker 1: let's line up go. Well, you can't because then the

1164
00:55:46,640 --> 00:55:50,040
Speaker 1: officials have to run all the way to the other end.

1165
00:55:50,160 --> 00:55:51,800
Speaker 1: To think about it, right, I didn't think about the

1166
00:55:51,840 --> 00:55:53,400
Speaker 1: officials got to run all the way to the other end,

1167
00:55:53,640 --> 00:55:55,439
Speaker 1: line up and let it go. I guess it's gonna

1168
00:55:55,440 --> 00:55:58,640
Speaker 1: take some time for those old codgers to run to

1169
00:55:58,680 --> 00:56:02,160
Speaker 1: the other end of the field and officiate. The officials

1170
00:56:02,160 --> 00:56:03,720
Speaker 1: they're gonna go run to the other end of the field.

1171
00:56:04,239 --> 00:56:06,359
Speaker 1: It's true. Unless you get him golf carts or something, right,

1172
00:56:06,480 --> 00:56:08,080
Speaker 1: think about it, that's gonna be like, oh my god, Hey,

1173
00:56:08,160 --> 00:56:11,000
Speaker 1: here we go, let's go anywhere. Right, it's five rounds,

1174
00:56:11,040 --> 00:56:13,400
Speaker 1: are gonna go back and forth five times? Yeah, you're right,

1175
00:56:13,800 --> 00:56:15,920
Speaker 1: shoot out in overtime. Maybe that's the answer. Give us

1176
00:56:15,920 --> 00:56:18,000
Speaker 1: a call. Let's talk about it. Eight h three five

1177
00:56:18,080 --> 00:56:20,760
Speaker 1: fifty to twenty three one eight eight eight by fifty

1178
00:56:20,840 --> 00:56:23,000
Speaker 1: two five fifty. Can we talk about Eli Manning for

1179
00:56:23,040 --> 00:56:26,880
Speaker 1: a minute? Absolutely? Eli Manny's gonna announce his retirement tomorrow.

1180
00:56:27,000 --> 00:56:31,520
Speaker 1: The two times Super Bowl MVP. Only Joe Montana, bart Starred,

1181
00:56:31,560 --> 00:56:34,080
Speaker 1: Tom Brady and Terry Bradshaw have have won that before

1182
00:56:34,480 --> 00:56:36,360
Speaker 1: those four in the Hall of Fame. Does Eli Manning

1183
00:56:36,400 --> 00:56:38,719
Speaker 1: automatically get a spot in the Pro Football Hall of Fame?

1184
00:56:39,040 --> 00:56:42,279
Speaker 1: Is he in in five years? I think for a

1185
00:56:42,400 --> 00:56:44,560
Speaker 1: lot of reasons, including how good a player he was.

1186
00:56:45,520 --> 00:56:47,640
Speaker 1: I think he might be. Yes, he may not be

1187
00:56:47,719 --> 00:56:50,840
Speaker 1: a first ballot Hall of Famer, although he may. I

1188
00:56:50,960 --> 00:56:53,200
Speaker 1: think I think he is a guy that gets in

1189
00:56:53,280 --> 00:56:55,439
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame. My first ballot, we mean first

1190
00:56:55,520 --> 00:56:59,319
Speaker 1: year he's out, he's eligible, he's in. Him a two

1191
00:56:59,440 --> 00:57:03,520
Speaker 1: time winning Super Bowl champ for one of the iconic

1192
00:57:03,600 --> 00:57:09,640
Speaker 1: franchises in New York City. M Yeah, I think two

1193
00:57:09,719 --> 00:57:13,560
Speaker 1: time Super Bowl MVP, might be hard not to get

1194
00:57:13,640 --> 00:57:16,880
Speaker 1: him in there. I mean, you've got um. Yeah, I

1195
00:57:16,960 --> 00:57:18,880
Speaker 1: think if he's a giant, if he did that, if

1196
00:57:18,920 --> 00:57:24,160
Speaker 1: he did what he did for another team, like I

1197
00:57:24,240 --> 00:57:27,280
Speaker 1: don't know, you name it. If fact that he's a giant,

1198
00:57:27,320 --> 00:57:30,400
Speaker 1: you think put them in. Yeah, absolutely, really Yeah. There's

1199
00:57:30,400 --> 00:57:32,600
Speaker 1: a lot of media focus on that team. There's a

1200
00:57:32,680 --> 00:57:35,360
Speaker 1: lot of and plus the Super Bowls that they got too,

1201
00:57:35,400 --> 00:57:38,480
Speaker 1: and one against an iconic franchise, the best coach of

1202
00:57:38,560 --> 00:57:40,560
Speaker 1: all time, the best quarterback of all time, and he

1203
00:57:40,640 --> 00:57:42,840
Speaker 1: beat them both in a Super Bowl in the biggest

1204
00:57:42,880 --> 00:57:44,760
Speaker 1: moment where they're supposed to be so difficult to beat.

1205
00:57:45,040 --> 00:57:46,560
Speaker 1: He did it with one of the most icon two

1206
00:57:46,560 --> 00:57:49,440
Speaker 1: of the most iconic throws, well, one iconic catch and

1207
00:57:49,600 --> 00:57:53,200
Speaker 1: one iconic throw in those games he did. He did

1208
00:57:53,320 --> 00:57:58,120
Speaker 1: more than a guy like Joe Namath, who is who

1209
00:57:58,240 --> 00:58:00,600
Speaker 1: is everybody thinks is like one of those guys it's

1210
00:58:00,800 --> 00:58:03,760
Speaker 1: in so well, here's he isn't. Doug Ferrar, who he

1211
00:58:03,800 --> 00:58:06,000
Speaker 1: had on the show last week, writes for a USA Today,

1212
00:58:06,080 --> 00:58:09,600
Speaker 1: wrote an interesting piece kind of arguing against Eli Manning

1213
00:58:09,680 --> 00:58:11,360
Speaker 1: going in the Pro Foot Hall of Fame. He said,

1214
00:58:11,360 --> 00:58:13,439
Speaker 1: if We're gonna argue for quarterbacks with two Super Bowl

1215
00:58:13,480 --> 00:58:15,720
Speaker 1: and wins and no busting, can't How about Jim Plunkett

1216
00:58:16,000 --> 00:58:19,560
Speaker 1: the Oakland Raiders. Plunkett was the MVP of Super Bowl

1217
00:58:19,640 --> 00:58:23,280
Speaker 1: fifteen match Manning touchdown pass total in that game. Is

1218
00:58:23,320 --> 00:58:27,640
Speaker 1: Manning demonstratily better throughout his career than Plunkett was? Good question.

1219
00:58:27,760 --> 00:58:30,880
Speaker 1: I don't know necessarily that he was. And Eli Ranning

1220
00:58:31,160 --> 00:58:34,600
Speaker 1: was one seventeen and one seventeen when lost his starting quarterback.

1221
00:58:34,640 --> 00:58:36,920
Speaker 1: That's a lot of games, no question. But he's won

1222
00:58:37,000 --> 00:58:40,360
Speaker 1: seventeen and one seventeen. He's absolutely a five hundred quarterback.

1223
00:58:40,480 --> 00:58:44,920
Speaker 1: Doug Ferrar goes on to say, if you know, typically

1224
00:58:45,000 --> 00:58:46,880
Speaker 1: when people go in the Hall of Fame, you ask yourself, well,

1225
00:58:46,920 --> 00:58:49,320
Speaker 1: can you write the history of the league without this guy?

1226
00:58:50,160 --> 00:58:51,760
Speaker 1: You can say that about a lot of Hall of famers.

1227
00:58:51,840 --> 00:58:54,760
Speaker 1: Can you say that about Eli Manning? I think you can.

1228
00:58:55,440 --> 00:58:57,840
Speaker 1: You could have the history of the NFL without Eli Manning, right,

1229
00:58:58,320 --> 00:59:00,439
Speaker 1: he said, along, This is Doug Ferrar. He's had along

1230
00:59:00,480 --> 00:59:03,160
Speaker 1: in story career. He does have those rings. But to

1231
00:59:03,240 --> 00:59:05,000
Speaker 1: say that the history of the league cannot be written

1232
00:59:05,040 --> 00:59:08,560
Speaker 1: without Eli Manning is a stretch at best. Now, Doug

1233
00:59:08,600 --> 00:59:10,440
Speaker 1: for Our admits he will get in but doesn't know

1234
00:59:10,440 --> 00:59:12,920
Speaker 1: if he belongs in there. I think it's a really

1235
00:59:12,960 --> 00:59:15,520
Speaker 1: good argument to add, Yeah it is. It's it's a

1236
00:59:15,560 --> 00:59:18,240
Speaker 1: debate that will rage on until he's either in or out.

1237
00:59:19,720 --> 00:59:21,960
Speaker 1: I don't think there's any way you could Can they

1238
00:59:22,080 --> 00:59:25,960
Speaker 1: keep him out? I really don't. Even with his five

1239
00:59:26,040 --> 00:59:30,240
Speaker 1: hundred record, yea even I'm looking at for Our and

1240
00:59:30,280 --> 00:59:33,560
Speaker 1: he's fifth in touchdown passes first and interceptions among quarterbacks

1241
00:59:33,600 --> 00:59:35,800
Speaker 1: of his era with at least two thousand passing attempts.

1242
00:59:36,240 --> 00:59:40,480
Speaker 1: Drew Brees his second. I don't know. The numbers are

1243
00:59:40,560 --> 00:59:44,360
Speaker 1: not that impressive. I mean, what about Andy Dalton? What

1244
00:59:44,440 --> 00:59:47,280
Speaker 1: about Jay Cutler. Manning's touchdown ray to four point five

1245
00:59:47,320 --> 00:59:50,480
Speaker 1: percent ranks nineteenth in his era, below Andy Dalton and

1246
00:59:50,600 --> 00:59:52,680
Speaker 1: Jay Cutler. Would you ever think of putting Andy Dalton

1247
00:59:52,720 --> 00:59:55,120
Speaker 1: and Jay Cutler in the Hall of Fame? You would not.

1248
00:59:55,480 --> 00:59:59,400
Speaker 1: But they didn't have the career he did either. Higher

1249
00:59:59,440 --> 01:00:03,640
Speaker 1: career career interception rate three point zero one tenth highest

1250
01:00:04,280 --> 01:00:07,720
Speaker 1: higher career interception rate than Blake Portles, match Shop Kerry Collins.

1251
01:00:09,400 --> 01:00:11,000
Speaker 1: I mean, there's more numbers here. You don't do it

1252
01:00:11,080 --> 01:00:14,160
Speaker 1: just by numbers alone, and obviously the Super bowls and

1253
01:00:14,320 --> 01:00:17,160
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl wins and the Super Bowl MVPs mean

1254
01:00:17,280 --> 01:00:19,480
Speaker 1: a lot. But are we sure that Eli Manning is

1255
01:00:19,480 --> 01:00:21,800
Speaker 1: a Hall of Famer? Are we sure? I don't know.

1256
01:00:22,040 --> 01:00:25,640
Speaker 1: I don't know that he is. I don't know. I

1257
01:00:25,760 --> 01:00:27,440
Speaker 1: think he'll probably get in. I think he'll get in,

1258
01:00:27,600 --> 01:00:30,960
Speaker 1: and which means he is. So you gotta do does

1259
01:00:31,000 --> 01:00:33,720
Speaker 1: he belong in there? And by the way, I name it,

1260
01:00:34,120 --> 01:00:36,560
Speaker 1: you can't write the history of pro football without Joe Namath.

1261
01:00:36,640 --> 01:00:42,920
Speaker 1: You cannot. You can't. And Namath had mediocre numbers. I

1262
01:00:43,000 --> 01:00:46,720
Speaker 1: guess you could argue, but Nameeth won a watershed game.

1263
01:00:46,880 --> 01:00:48,640
Speaker 1: You know, he was the quarterback in the most maybe

1264
01:00:48,680 --> 01:00:51,760
Speaker 1: the most important game in NFL history, predicted it and

1265
01:00:51,920 --> 01:00:53,640
Speaker 1: won it. You can't write the history of the game

1266
01:00:53,680 --> 01:01:00,160
Speaker 1: without him. Yeah, it's yeah, yeah, I get it. Um,

1267
01:01:02,240 --> 01:01:08,240
Speaker 1: I think certainly, Eli, the numbers aside, everything else about

1268
01:01:08,280 --> 01:01:10,160
Speaker 1: Eli has been stellar in the career of the way

1269
01:01:10,160 --> 01:01:13,080
Speaker 1: he had this teammates, the way that you know, all

1270
01:01:13,120 --> 01:01:15,880
Speaker 1: that stuff. His career got off to a little bit

1271
01:01:15,920 --> 01:01:19,160
Speaker 1: of a of a eye raising, eyebrow raising start when

1272
01:01:19,280 --> 01:01:21,960
Speaker 1: he was drafted first overall by the San Diego Chargers,

1273
01:01:22,720 --> 01:01:27,760
Speaker 1: and he said, I'm not playing for you and made

1274
01:01:27,840 --> 01:01:32,040
Speaker 1: that call, and the Chargers, through a deal with the Giants,

1275
01:01:32,120 --> 01:01:37,800
Speaker 1: traded Eli Manning straight across with the New York Giants

1276
01:01:37,920 --> 01:01:44,080
Speaker 1: for Philip Rivers. Who got the better of that deal?

1277
01:01:46,920 --> 01:01:49,760
Speaker 1: That's a really good question. Who got the better of

1278
01:01:49,800 --> 01:01:52,560
Speaker 1: that deal? Oh? The Giants and Day we got two

1279
01:01:52,600 --> 01:01:54,160
Speaker 1: Super Bowl wins. We got the better of that. The

1280
01:01:54,320 --> 01:01:57,440
Speaker 1: Chargers have been to one Championship game, right and they

1281
01:01:57,560 --> 01:02:00,400
Speaker 1: but they've got a guy who statistically is a rubber

1282
01:02:00,480 --> 01:02:04,680
Speaker 1: stamped Hall of Famer. His numbers individually or phenomenally, he's

1283
01:02:04,720 --> 01:02:08,880
Speaker 1: at Dan Fouts of his era, right, Yeah, I mean,

1284
01:02:08,960 --> 01:02:12,240
Speaker 1: that's that's kind of career that Philip Rivers put together.

1285
01:02:12,440 --> 01:02:14,680
Speaker 1: That guy could sling it, you know, and Eli Manning

1286
01:02:14,800 --> 01:02:16,320
Speaker 1: was this is this guy. They kind of made it,

1287
01:02:16,480 --> 01:02:19,600
Speaker 1: you know, and that think about that. What would have

1288
01:02:19,680 --> 01:02:23,360
Speaker 1: happened had that trade never been taken place? You know?

1289
01:02:23,520 --> 01:02:26,960
Speaker 1: I mean, and Eli goes to a franchise that that

1290
01:02:27,120 --> 01:02:31,160
Speaker 1: can't build around any quarterback, you know. So, I M

1291
01:02:31,800 --> 01:02:34,800
Speaker 1: that's an interesting question as well. Both those guys may

1292
01:02:34,920 --> 01:02:36,720
Speaker 1: leave at the same time. Maybe Philip Rivers comes back

1293
01:02:36,760 --> 01:02:39,480
Speaker 1: this next year. Maybe he doesn't, but certainly I think

1294
01:02:39,560 --> 01:02:42,360
Speaker 1: he has a Individually, he's got a much better case

1295
01:02:42,400 --> 01:02:46,000
Speaker 1: for a Hall of Fame career than Eli Manning. It'll

1296
01:02:46,040 --> 01:02:48,840
Speaker 1: be interesting to see how they treat him. Can I

1297
01:02:48,960 --> 01:02:54,120
Speaker 1: just say this, events of recent weeks, Yes, this includes you, you,

1298
01:02:54,400 --> 01:02:57,080
Speaker 1: Steve not being one of the fifteen finalists for a

1299
01:02:57,160 --> 01:02:59,440
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame this year. Events of recent weeks have

1300
01:02:59,680 --> 01:03:01,760
Speaker 1: given me pause about the Pro Football of Fame. I

1301
01:03:01,880 --> 01:03:04,200
Speaker 1: have less regard for the Pro Football Hall of Fame

1302
01:03:04,280 --> 01:03:06,120
Speaker 1: now than I had even a month ago because of

1303
01:03:06,240 --> 01:03:10,440
Speaker 1: things that have happened, like fifteen new uh Hall of

1304
01:03:10,520 --> 01:03:14,200
Speaker 1: famers announced last week by the you know, the whatever

1305
01:03:14,200 --> 01:03:16,400
Speaker 1: what they called Football Hall of Fame. The selection set

1306
01:03:16,560 --> 01:03:21,920
Speaker 1: ribbon select fifteen along with another five to go in

1307
01:03:22,480 --> 01:03:24,960
Speaker 1: in a week, and you don't get a chance to

1308
01:03:25,120 --> 01:03:28,040
Speaker 1: be even discussed by the by the Hall of Fame selectors.

1309
01:03:28,120 --> 01:03:30,120
Speaker 1: That's part of it. Not the only reason, but that's

1310
01:03:30,160 --> 01:03:31,960
Speaker 1: part of it. Um. I just don't have the same

1311
01:03:32,000 --> 01:03:33,720
Speaker 1: regard for the Pro Football of Fame that I had

1312
01:03:33,760 --> 01:03:35,720
Speaker 1: even a month ago. I think they I think they've

1313
01:03:35,800 --> 01:03:38,320
Speaker 1: made it, They've cheatmened it, yes, and I think it's

1314
01:03:38,360 --> 01:03:42,160
Speaker 1: just a weird criterion for a selection. Yeah, but there's

1315
01:03:42,160 --> 01:03:45,960
Speaker 1: also been coming out. It's rightfully, so, it's very difficult

1316
01:03:45,960 --> 01:03:48,200
Speaker 1: to get into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. And

1317
01:03:48,520 --> 01:03:51,080
Speaker 1: there's always been an echelon of guys who have been

1318
01:03:51,080 --> 01:03:54,360
Speaker 1: in the finals, a bunch guys better than me and

1319
01:03:54,800 --> 01:03:57,000
Speaker 1: have been for whatever reason, not been able to get in.

1320
01:03:57,120 --> 01:04:00,240
Speaker 1: Because of the criterion, you got to go between four

1321
01:04:00,320 --> 01:04:05,640
Speaker 1: and eight candidates to get in, and because of that

1322
01:04:06,400 --> 01:04:10,160
Speaker 1: there's been and because the league is also constantly churning

1323
01:04:10,200 --> 01:04:14,440
Speaker 1: out retired guys who have had phenomenal careers, and the

1324
01:04:14,560 --> 01:04:16,439
Speaker 1: league has evolved to a point where the guys coming

1325
01:04:16,440 --> 01:04:19,600
Speaker 1: out now their numbers dwarf the guys who have always

1326
01:04:19,640 --> 01:04:22,120
Speaker 1: been thought worthy of getting in right. So now it's

1327
01:04:22,160 --> 01:04:24,480
Speaker 1: harder and harder to get guys who for their era

1328
01:04:24,600 --> 01:04:27,440
Speaker 1: were very dominant because their numbers don't look right with

1329
01:04:27,600 --> 01:04:30,880
Speaker 1: today's players. So they made a big effort in this

1330
01:04:31,000 --> 01:04:33,760
Speaker 1: hundredth year the NFL to write that to give guys

1331
01:04:33,840 --> 01:04:36,600
Speaker 1: who were dominant for an extended period of time in

1332
01:04:36,680 --> 01:04:41,000
Speaker 1: their career in their era a window to get in.

1333
01:04:41,240 --> 01:04:46,840
Speaker 1: And it's like who Jimmy Johnson, Bill Kawar, politaguelbo I,

1334
01:04:46,920 --> 01:04:48,840
Speaker 1: like all those guys. I mean, yeah, I like them too.

1335
01:04:49,160 --> 01:04:51,960
Speaker 1: I like all those guys. Huh, famers. I don't know,

1336
01:04:52,120 --> 01:04:54,320
Speaker 1: they weren't voted in the Hall of Fame the right way.

1337
01:04:54,400 --> 01:04:56,760
Speaker 1: I would say, well, you say that that we want,

1338
01:04:56,800 --> 01:04:58,960
Speaker 1: but I'd say, yeah, I mean if they're in there

1339
01:04:59,000 --> 01:05:01,880
Speaker 1: in and good good for them. I don't have a

1340
01:05:01,920 --> 01:05:04,880
Speaker 1: problem with it. I'm not losing sleepover and I'm promise you,

1341
01:05:05,240 --> 01:05:06,800
Speaker 1: I promise you, I'm not going to get bitter over

1342
01:05:06,880 --> 01:05:09,840
Speaker 1: any of those guys going in because they all did

1343
01:05:09,920 --> 01:05:13,080
Speaker 1: great things for the league and in the league. So yeah,

1344
01:05:13,400 --> 01:05:16,560
Speaker 1: but you're right, Eli manning Is was a guy who

1345
01:05:16,640 --> 01:05:20,720
Speaker 1: did everything right for himself and took his team to

1346
01:05:20,800 --> 01:05:22,920
Speaker 1: two Super Bowls and won them both and won He

1347
01:05:23,040 --> 01:05:24,960
Speaker 1: won one of those Super Bowls against maybe one of

1348
01:05:25,000 --> 01:05:30,720
Speaker 1: the greatest teams ever. They were They were nineteen and

1349
01:05:30,960 --> 01:05:37,920
Speaker 1: oh headed into the Super Bowl and or was it? Yeah,

1350
01:05:37,920 --> 01:05:41,600
Speaker 1: it's nineteen and OZ couldn't have been nineteen and oo

1351
01:05:41,680 --> 01:05:45,200
Speaker 1: it was eighteen and one, right, So sixteen regular season

1352
01:05:45,280 --> 01:05:51,680
Speaker 1: games they won, and seventeen in Division round eighteen for

1353
01:05:51,800 --> 01:05:54,760
Speaker 1: the championship round. And yeah they were eighteen and one.

1354
01:05:54,920 --> 01:05:56,800
Speaker 1: They were eighteen and o when the Giants beat him.

1355
01:05:56,840 --> 01:06:00,560
Speaker 1: So that was an iconic game, historic games. Every super

1356
01:06:00,600 --> 01:06:04,200
Speaker 1: Bowl is and the guy won two of them. Um. Yeah,

1357
01:06:04,280 --> 01:06:09,640
Speaker 1: it's it's hard not to to put him in that conversation. Okay,

1358
01:06:10,200 --> 01:06:12,520
Speaker 1: let's get some phone calls. No, I just I think again.

1359
01:06:13,520 --> 01:06:16,280
Speaker 1: Art for the profile Ball of Fame is um is

1360
01:06:16,360 --> 01:06:18,280
Speaker 1: much less than it was a month ago because of

1361
01:06:18,480 --> 01:06:21,160
Speaker 1: things that have happened over the last month. Um, And

1362
01:06:21,240 --> 01:06:23,560
Speaker 1: I'll leave it at that. I know it's it's a

1363
01:06:23,600 --> 01:06:25,200
Speaker 1: little difficult for you to talk about that, but I

1364
01:06:25,240 --> 01:06:27,240
Speaker 1: do think it's it's not what I thought it was.

1365
01:06:27,520 --> 01:06:29,880
Speaker 1: Let's take some phone calls here, Mike and Hamburg. Hello, Mike,

1366
01:06:29,880 --> 01:06:32,720
Speaker 1: you're on the air. Go ahead, Mike, Hello, Hi, Hi,

1367
01:06:32,880 --> 01:06:36,600
Speaker 1: how are you hi? I have I have I have

1368
01:06:36,800 --> 01:06:39,960
Speaker 1: one situation, but now I have two. Okay, start with

1369
01:06:40,360 --> 01:06:43,880
Speaker 1: let's start with Eli. Really. First, you mentioned you can't

1370
01:06:43,920 --> 01:06:49,160
Speaker 1: write history without a particular player. Well, you can't write

1371
01:06:49,280 --> 01:06:53,680
Speaker 1: history in the NFL without Eli Manning. Why Because he

1372
01:06:56,000 --> 01:06:58,560
Speaker 1: is the one that beats the New England Patriots when

1373
01:06:58,600 --> 01:07:01,880
Speaker 1: they were undefeated. Have they'd been undefeated, they would have

1374
01:07:01,920 --> 01:07:05,480
Speaker 1: been considered the greatest team of all times. That's history.

1375
01:07:06,160 --> 01:07:08,560
Speaker 1: That's number one. Well, and every other player on the

1376
01:07:08,640 --> 01:07:12,440
Speaker 1: Giants roster deserves they had that set about him as well. No, no, no,

1377
01:07:12,600 --> 01:07:18,480
Speaker 1: no no. Eli was the MPT. Okay, Eli was the leader.

1378
01:07:19,280 --> 01:07:22,080
Speaker 1: Eli was the one that won the game. You could

1379
01:07:22,080 --> 01:07:24,919
Speaker 1: say that about any team. You can say that about

1380
01:07:25,000 --> 01:07:27,040
Speaker 1: New England, you can say that about any team in

1381
01:07:27,120 --> 01:07:31,360
Speaker 1: the NFL. It's a team game. But without Eli manning,

1382
01:07:31,400 --> 01:07:34,560
Speaker 1: they hadn't they would not have won that game. Okay,

1383
01:07:35,480 --> 01:07:39,520
Speaker 1: what else? What's your other situation, Mike? The other thing

1384
01:07:39,680 --> 01:07:45,040
Speaker 1: is uh changing the past interference rule. Back in the

1385
01:07:45,160 --> 01:07:50,640
Speaker 1: day whatever, when our corner or a safety was covering

1386
01:07:50,680 --> 01:07:55,919
Speaker 1: a receiver, he looked back after ball the whole time.

1387
01:07:57,800 --> 01:08:01,400
Speaker 1: Now they're looking at people's eyes. They're not looking at

1388
01:08:01,440 --> 01:08:05,040
Speaker 1: the ball. They're guests, and by putting their hands into

1389
01:08:05,120 --> 01:08:09,640
Speaker 1: the into the receiver's mid section, when his eyes gets

1390
01:08:09,640 --> 01:08:14,080
Speaker 1: a little wider. Okay, to you know, to break up

1391
01:08:14,120 --> 01:08:17,599
Speaker 1: the pass, it should be where the corner, the safety,

1392
01:08:17,640 --> 01:08:20,920
Speaker 1: anybody that's covering a player should have to look back

1393
01:08:20,960 --> 01:08:23,240
Speaker 1: at the ball when the ball is thrown. If if

1394
01:08:23,320 --> 01:08:26,040
Speaker 1: they don't do it, no matter what the situation is,

1395
01:08:26,080 --> 01:08:28,880
Speaker 1: its past interference. That's the way it was. That's the

1396
01:08:28,920 --> 01:08:33,280
Speaker 1: way it should be. They're making it too easy. Well, Mike,

1397
01:08:33,400 --> 01:08:35,680
Speaker 1: you think so, whether they touch the receiver or not,

1398
01:08:36,120 --> 01:08:38,280
Speaker 1: they have they have to play the ball or they

1399
01:08:38,600 --> 01:08:44,000
Speaker 1: you're talking about just contact. No, Well, what's been happening

1400
01:08:44,040 --> 01:08:47,000
Speaker 1: a lot is the ball has been thrown and you know,

1401
01:08:47,439 --> 01:08:49,920
Speaker 1: see if you remember back in the day, they used

1402
01:08:49,920 --> 01:08:56,800
Speaker 1: to have a penalty and they called it screening, right, Okay, Well,

1403
01:08:56,880 --> 01:08:59,080
Speaker 1: that's basically what they do with the beef with the

1404
01:08:59,160 --> 01:09:04,200
Speaker 1: defensive backs do every single time, they basically screen the receiver.

1405
01:09:04,600 --> 01:09:07,400
Speaker 1: That's basically what they're doing. They're not looking back at

1406
01:09:07,439 --> 01:09:12,559
Speaker 1: the ball in most cases, okay, and they're looking directly

1407
01:09:12,680 --> 01:09:16,040
Speaker 1: after receiver with their hands in the air. That's screening.

1408
01:09:16,120 --> 01:09:19,920
Speaker 1: That's the old version of screening. And you think that's bad.

1409
01:09:21,000 --> 01:09:23,919
Speaker 1: I think it's terrible. I think I think the defensive

1410
01:09:23,960 --> 01:09:28,040
Speaker 1: back needs to look back at the ball. Okay, Well, Mike,

1411
01:09:28,800 --> 01:09:32,080
Speaker 1: you know, I get you. But listen, you can't keep

1412
01:09:32,160 --> 01:09:36,200
Speaker 1: a player from batting to pass around just because he's

1413
01:09:36,240 --> 01:09:38,560
Speaker 1: not looking at the quarterback or the guy who threw it.

1414
01:09:38,640 --> 01:09:40,760
Speaker 1: If he's not touching the receiver, or he's not making

1415
01:09:40,760 --> 01:09:44,200
Speaker 1: any physical tont or significant physical contact, why can't he

1416
01:09:44,360 --> 01:09:47,040
Speaker 1: just bat the ball away without looking. I mean that

1417
01:09:47,720 --> 01:09:50,840
Speaker 1: you can screen guys if you get there. I mean,

1418
01:09:50,920 --> 01:09:53,559
Speaker 1: I get it. I mean you don't like the DPI

1419
01:09:53,600 --> 01:09:57,160
Speaker 1: and you think it's easier for the DBS. Listen, it's not.

1420
01:09:58,240 --> 01:10:03,840
Speaker 1: It's not easier. It's and here's the thing too, the league.

1421
01:10:03,880 --> 01:10:08,439
Speaker 1: The guys play the way the rules allow them to play.

1422
01:10:09,400 --> 01:10:12,400
Speaker 1: So if you want it to be different, you can't

1423
01:10:12,600 --> 01:10:15,519
Speaker 1: tell them they can't do certain things unless it involves

1424
01:10:15,600 --> 01:10:18,680
Speaker 1: hitting another guy. They can run, put their arms, they

1425
01:10:18,720 --> 01:10:21,280
Speaker 1: can take any kind of body contortion is if they're

1426
01:10:21,280 --> 01:10:24,080
Speaker 1: not making contact with anybody, they can do cartwheels. You

1427
01:10:24,160 --> 01:10:26,639
Speaker 1: can't tell them they can't go up and just run

1428
01:10:26,720 --> 01:10:28,960
Speaker 1: to the receiver, jump up in front of him and

1429
01:10:29,040 --> 01:10:30,680
Speaker 1: block the pass with the back of their head. If

1430
01:10:30,680 --> 01:10:33,960
Speaker 1: they're not touching the guy. That should be fine because

1431
01:10:34,040 --> 01:10:36,280
Speaker 1: you're doing the same thing at the other end of

1432
01:10:36,320 --> 01:10:38,960
Speaker 1: the past. When a defensive lineman knocks it down, they're

1433
01:10:39,000 --> 01:10:40,840
Speaker 1: not trying to rush the passer. They're not trying to

1434
01:10:40,880 --> 01:10:43,200
Speaker 1: get a sack or anything. They just watch the quarterback

1435
01:10:43,479 --> 01:10:45,240
Speaker 1: jump up and knock the pass down. That's the exact

1436
01:10:45,280 --> 01:10:47,200
Speaker 1: same thing at the other end of the play. So

1437
01:10:48,000 --> 01:10:50,680
Speaker 1: you can't outlaw that, but I get it. If you

1438
01:10:50,720 --> 01:10:53,400
Speaker 1: don't like the way they're administering whatever rules they have

1439
01:10:53,479 --> 01:10:55,840
Speaker 1: in place, now you can change that, but what you're

1440
01:10:56,120 --> 01:11:02,720
Speaker 1: proposing is untenable my opinion. Thanks Mike, We're gonna take

1441
01:11:02,760 --> 01:11:05,000
Speaker 1: a break. We're coming back with Oliver Luck, the commissioner

Speaker 1: XFL this year, right February eighth. Yeah, we launched the

1461

Speaker 1: as Saturday, February eighth, So we're right around the corner.

1463
01:12:16,080 --> 01:12:18,600
Speaker 1: We just broke training camp. We had all eight of

1464
01:12:18,680 --> 01:12:21,880
Speaker 1: our franchises down in Houston for about three weeks going

1465
01:12:21,960 --> 01:12:25,120
Speaker 1: at it with you know, some really good works. So yeah,

1466
01:12:25,120 --> 01:12:28,280
Speaker 1: we're we're right right before our launch, so we're excited

1467
01:12:28,640 --> 01:12:31,400
Speaker 1: and healthy across the league. Only had a couple of

1468
01:12:31,439 --> 01:12:33,200
Speaker 1: injuries coming out of training camp. Steve, you know how

1469
01:12:33,280 --> 01:12:35,439
Speaker 1: important that is, right, You don't want to lose guys

1470
01:12:35,439 --> 01:12:39,680
Speaker 1: in camp. But we feel pretty good about our chances. So, yeah,

1471
01:12:39,720 --> 01:12:41,880
Speaker 1: you've broken training camp, which means all eight teams kind

1472
01:12:41,880 --> 01:12:44,280
Speaker 1: of dispersed across the country to their different cities from

1473
01:12:44,320 --> 01:12:46,679
Speaker 1: Seattle all the way down to Tampa Bay and everywhere

1474
01:12:46,680 --> 01:12:50,880
Speaker 1: in between. What you know, where the what's the what's

1475
01:12:50,920 --> 01:12:52,840
Speaker 1: it like in each individual city. What do you what

1476
01:12:52,920 --> 01:12:55,640
Speaker 1: do you you know, what are your I don't know

1477
01:12:55,680 --> 01:12:57,519
Speaker 1: what's the league gonna look like when they finally get

1478
01:12:57,520 --> 01:13:00,840
Speaker 1: out there, get to their home facilities. So we did

1479
01:13:00,960 --> 01:13:04,280
Speaker 1: this past Monday and Tuesday, you know, for what I

1480
01:13:04,320 --> 01:13:07,000
Speaker 1: would call it sort of preseason games, mock games. Right.

1481
01:13:07,320 --> 01:13:10,080
Speaker 1: Fox and ESPN are two broadcast partners. Were down there

1482
01:13:10,160 --> 01:13:12,000
Speaker 1: with their talent and their camera guys because we have

1483
01:13:12,040 --> 01:13:14,240
Speaker 1: a few things are a little bit different than what

1484
01:13:14,320 --> 01:13:16,920
Speaker 1: they're used to. And as you can imagine, I was

1485
01:13:17,000 --> 01:13:19,040
Speaker 1: there for all four of those games, and what I

1486
01:13:19,160 --> 01:13:22,200
Speaker 1: saw was a fairly fast pace. You know, we've got

1487
01:13:22,280 --> 01:13:24,479
Speaker 1: a twenty five second clock, so you know, it'll be

1488
01:13:24,560 --> 01:13:27,360
Speaker 1: like watching a big twelve game, right. Teams will be,

1489
01:13:27,520 --> 01:13:29,800
Speaker 1: will be, it'll be hurry up, right. For virtually the

1490
01:13:30,000 --> 01:13:33,200
Speaker 1: entire game. I saw some pretty good quarterback play. You know,

1491
01:13:33,240 --> 01:13:36,040
Speaker 1: we've been able to get I think, a better caliber

1492
01:13:36,080 --> 01:13:38,360
Speaker 1: of quarterback than spring leagues in the past, you know,

1493
01:13:38,439 --> 01:13:40,439
Speaker 1: most notably the Alliance. You know, we went out and

1494
01:13:40,880 --> 01:13:44,080
Speaker 1: quite honestly offered more money to some of these guys.

1495
01:13:44,640 --> 01:13:47,000
Speaker 1: You know Matt mcgloyin, who was quarterback in the New

1496
01:13:47,080 --> 01:13:50,200
Speaker 1: York team, the New York Guardians. Uh he looked great. Right.

1497
01:13:50,280 --> 01:13:52,519
Speaker 1: You know, here's a guy who of course played in state,

1498
01:13:52,880 --> 01:13:55,760
Speaker 1: just down the road, and uh, you know it was

1499
01:13:55,800 --> 01:13:58,439
Speaker 1: with the Raiders. You know, just just accuracy, et cetera.

1500
01:13:58,600 --> 01:14:02,639
Speaker 1: Connor Cook, Philip Walker. Cook of course in Michigan staging

1501
01:14:02,680 --> 01:14:04,720
Speaker 1: a bounced around the NFL. Philip Walker, he was on

1502
01:14:04,840 --> 01:14:08,200
Speaker 1: the Colts practice squad. My son Andrew kind of tipped

1503
01:14:08,200 --> 01:14:09,840
Speaker 1: me off to him. They're both fighting for the starting

1504
01:14:09,960 --> 01:14:12,439
Speaker 1: job in Houston. So some pretty good players, and you

1505
01:14:12,479 --> 01:14:14,840
Speaker 1: know they're throwing the receivers like Sammy Coats. I look

1506
01:14:14,880 --> 01:14:17,040
Speaker 1: at this guy, Steve and I say, wow, why is

1507
01:14:17,080 --> 01:14:19,160
Speaker 1: he not in the NFL? And he was, of course

1508
01:14:19,240 --> 01:14:22,280
Speaker 1: and had his shots. You know, there's a reason all

1509
01:14:22,280 --> 01:14:23,920
Speaker 1: those guys are in our league. But I think it's

1510
01:14:23,960 --> 01:14:27,160
Speaker 1: gonna be a pretty up temple, fast paced game. Uh.

1511
01:14:27,320 --> 01:14:29,439
Speaker 1: You know, I saw teams that are really is going

1512
01:14:29,520 --> 01:14:31,759
Speaker 1: to be equal across the board. Nobody's going to be dominant.

1513
01:14:31,760 --> 01:14:33,559
Speaker 1: I think we'll have close games, you know, going into

1514
01:14:33,600 --> 01:14:36,000
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. We've got a couple of different, you know,

1515
01:14:36,040 --> 01:14:38,800
Speaker 1: little twists on the rules that we think, you know,

1516
01:14:38,880 --> 01:14:41,439
Speaker 1: makes some sense and will help us play fast. But

1517
01:14:41,640 --> 01:14:43,960
Speaker 1: I think it can be a fun league. How set

1518
01:14:44,000 --> 01:14:46,680
Speaker 1: in stone is your television schedule, because it looks like

1519
01:14:46,680 --> 01:14:49,719
Speaker 1: you're gonna have like, what twenty five games on national networks.

1520
01:14:49,720 --> 01:14:52,080
Speaker 1: I mean that that to me is a big, big

1521
01:14:52,640 --> 01:14:56,080
Speaker 1: plus for the XFL, where other leagues did not have that.

1522
01:14:56,760 --> 01:15:00,160
Speaker 1: Oh it's huge. I mean we've got a president so

1523
01:15:00,240 --> 01:15:03,840
Speaker 1: on you know, broadcast over the year as well as cable.

1524
01:15:04,360 --> 01:15:07,519
Speaker 1: That is really unprecedented for any startup sports league, let

1525
01:15:07,520 --> 01:15:09,840
Speaker 1: alone a football league. So you know, literally every one

1526
01:15:09,880 --> 01:15:11,799
Speaker 1: of our games is going to be either on Fox

1527
01:15:11,920 --> 01:15:14,720
Speaker 1: Big Box or on FS one you know they're they're

1528
01:15:14,760 --> 01:15:17,759
Speaker 1: sports cable carrier, or it's going to be on ABC

1529
01:15:18,000 --> 01:15:20,960
Speaker 1: or ESPN, and so you know it's going to be easy,

1530
01:15:21,080 --> 01:15:23,960
Speaker 1: easy to find. We play Saturday and Sunday afternoons, you know,

1531
01:15:24,080 --> 01:15:27,720
Speaker 1: like the college and and NFL teams do. So I

1532
01:15:27,760 --> 01:15:30,760
Speaker 1: think that'll give us just an unbelievable platform. Now it's

1533
01:15:30,840 --> 01:15:33,840
Speaker 1: up to us to you know, play good crisp semi

1534
01:15:34,000 --> 01:15:37,200
Speaker 1: mistake free football, which you know, I think I think

1535
01:15:37,240 --> 01:15:39,280
Speaker 1: we can do given the quality of our coaches in

1536
01:15:39,400 --> 01:15:41,800
Speaker 1: the time that we've given these guys. They've literally been

1537
01:15:41,840 --> 01:15:44,840
Speaker 1: together since early December, so as you can imagine, you know,

1538
01:15:44,880 --> 01:15:47,000
Speaker 1: they're they're waiting to get cracking. They're they're tired of

1539
01:15:47,040 --> 01:15:49,639
Speaker 1: training camp. I mean it's basically been between mini camp

1540
01:15:49,720 --> 01:15:53,080
Speaker 1: OTAs and training camp, so about eight weeks. So if

1541
01:15:53,120 --> 01:15:55,639
Speaker 1: you remember your days back in the Saint Angelo, Texas,

1542
01:15:55,760 --> 01:15:57,600
Speaker 1: right after about five or six weeks, you want to

1543
01:15:57,640 --> 01:15:59,560
Speaker 1: get going and start playing against the other guys. So

1544
01:16:00,520 --> 01:16:02,160
Speaker 1: I think I think we'll come out of the gate,

1545
01:16:02,240 --> 01:16:05,120
Speaker 1: you know, in pretty good shape. Yea. What is how

1546
01:16:05,160 --> 01:16:07,400
Speaker 1: big are the rosters? How? I mean obviously you know

1547
01:16:07,840 --> 01:16:10,040
Speaker 1: you have to kind of be a real real fan

1548
01:16:10,200 --> 01:16:12,560
Speaker 1: to you know, care about roster size and stuff, But

1549
01:16:12,960 --> 01:16:15,840
Speaker 1: how are the roster sizes going to work out game

1550
01:16:15,920 --> 01:16:17,640
Speaker 1: day exercise and how many guys are going to be

1551
01:16:17,640 --> 01:16:21,479
Speaker 1: active that kind of thing. So we'll have forty five

1552
01:16:21,640 --> 01:16:24,920
Speaker 1: active players and a seven man practice squad at each team,

1553
01:16:25,280 --> 01:16:29,400
Speaker 1: and we'll activate a third quarterback on game day just

1554
01:16:29,520 --> 01:16:32,080
Speaker 1: in case of injury, so you'll have forty six guys

1555
01:16:32,160 --> 01:16:34,439
Speaker 1: active as they go into a game. One of the

1556
01:16:34,479 --> 01:16:37,519
Speaker 1: things we're doing that's kind of interesting is we're actually

1557
01:16:38,400 --> 01:16:41,880
Speaker 1: paying our players, not totally, but a portion of their

1558
01:16:41,920 --> 01:16:44,679
Speaker 1: income comes from winning games. We have a victory bonus,

1559
01:16:45,120 --> 01:16:47,000
Speaker 1: and if you win games, you get a you know,

1560
01:16:47,320 --> 01:16:50,680
Speaker 1: for our league, a fairly substantial knock up, right in

1561
01:16:50,800 --> 01:16:53,719
Speaker 1: terms of what you earn. And I'm really looking forward

1562
01:16:53,760 --> 01:16:56,559
Speaker 1: to seeing how that works, you know, because we think

1563
01:16:56,600 --> 01:16:58,679
Speaker 1: it makes some sense. We think that a team that's

1564
01:16:58,720 --> 01:17:01,719
Speaker 1: you know whatever sort of four and five, maybe muddling

1565
01:17:01,800 --> 01:17:03,680
Speaker 1: through the season towards the end of the year, that

1566
01:17:03,840 --> 01:17:05,800
Speaker 1: that you know, that salary, that bonus is going to

1567
01:17:05,880 --> 01:17:08,800
Speaker 1: really you know, sort of encourage those guys to play

1568
01:17:08,920 --> 01:17:11,599
Speaker 1: hard and play a full sixty minute. So that's that's

1569
01:17:11,680 --> 01:17:14,280
Speaker 1: kind of neat um. You know, the rosters are just

1570
01:17:15,040 --> 01:17:19,240
Speaker 1: smaller obviously than the NFL rosters. But given that we've

1571
01:17:19,280 --> 01:17:21,799
Speaker 1: got a replacement squad, you know, we have eight franchise

1572
01:17:21,880 --> 01:17:25,120
Speaker 1: as we call this replacement squad Team nine, and we're

1573
01:17:25,160 --> 01:17:28,519
Speaker 1: just sort of parking about forty players with Team nine

1574
01:17:28,600 --> 01:17:31,240
Speaker 1: will be located in Dallas. So that you know, Jim's

1575
01:17:31,320 --> 01:17:33,439
Speaker 1: ring up in Seattle loses a left guard, boom, he

1576
01:17:33,479 --> 01:17:35,760
Speaker 1: can pluck a guy right off that squad, you know,

1577
01:17:35,840 --> 01:17:38,000
Speaker 1: who may not be the best left guard, but at

1578
01:17:38,040 --> 01:17:39,640
Speaker 1: least he's going to have been training for three four

1579
01:17:39,720 --> 01:17:41,400
Speaker 1: weeks right is in shape. And it's not going to

1580
01:17:41,439 --> 01:17:44,200
Speaker 1: pull a hamster in the first practice with Oliver Luck

1581
01:17:44,280 --> 01:17:47,120
Speaker 1: he is the XFL commissioner and CEO. One of the

1582
01:17:47,160 --> 01:17:49,160
Speaker 1: reasons we wanted to talk to you today, Oliver was

1583
01:17:49,200 --> 01:17:52,400
Speaker 1: about the rules changes. Tell us that the impact You

1584
01:17:52,479 --> 01:17:54,600
Speaker 1: think that the you know the meaning of some of

1585
01:17:54,640 --> 01:17:57,040
Speaker 1: these rules. The twenty five second play clock, it really

1586
01:17:57,080 --> 01:18:01,200
Speaker 1: should speed things up considerably, wouldn't you think it does?

1587
01:18:01,280 --> 01:18:03,040
Speaker 1: I mean, in fact, I was sitting watching some of

1588
01:18:03,080 --> 01:18:05,799
Speaker 1: these uh, you know, mock games that we ran in Houston,

1589
01:18:06,000 --> 01:18:08,920
Speaker 1: and you just sense that guys are moving faster. You know,

1590
01:18:08,960 --> 01:18:11,759
Speaker 1: the court, the coach calling the plays, not just connected

1591
01:18:11,800 --> 01:18:13,840
Speaker 1: to the quarterback with that you know, speaker system and

1592
01:18:13,880 --> 01:18:17,559
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks helmet. He's connected to all offensive skilled players.

1593
01:18:18,160 --> 01:18:20,240
Speaker 1: So guys literally don't have to go back into the

1594
01:18:20,280 --> 01:18:22,360
Speaker 1: huddle of the hear of the play call. So we

1595
01:18:22,439 --> 01:18:24,320
Speaker 1: think that's going to help, you know, with that twenty

1596
01:18:24,360 --> 01:18:27,439
Speaker 1: five second clock. And out of the four preseason games,

1597
01:18:27,520 --> 01:18:29,800
Speaker 1: I would venture to say we only had about two

1598
01:18:30,000 --> 01:18:32,760
Speaker 1: or three you know, delay of games right where where

1599
01:18:32,800 --> 01:18:34,960
Speaker 1: there was some confusion as to the offensive you know,

1600
01:18:35,080 --> 01:18:37,960
Speaker 1: personnel or whatever. So you know, our teams have been

1601
01:18:38,000 --> 01:18:40,240
Speaker 1: practicing that and that's going to be probably the single

1602
01:18:40,360 --> 01:18:44,559
Speaker 1: most significant innovation of the most consequential because it affects

1603
01:18:44,560 --> 01:18:47,960
Speaker 1: every play special teams, you know, for a second throw down,

1604
01:18:48,000 --> 01:18:50,640
Speaker 1: you name it. We also we've got a little bit

1605
01:18:50,640 --> 01:18:53,040
Speaker 1: of a different kickoff that Steve you'd be happy to hear.

1606
01:18:53,320 --> 01:18:57,519
Speaker 1: We think is safer that but it almost guarantees the

1607
01:18:57,600 --> 01:19:00,880
Speaker 1: kickoff return in our punt for sample, we don't let

1608
01:19:00,960 --> 01:19:05,400
Speaker 1: the gunners leave until the ball is kicked. And we've

1609
01:19:05,439 --> 01:19:07,759
Speaker 1: got some pretty good punters, you know, NFL caliber punters,

1610
01:19:07,800 --> 01:19:10,040
Speaker 1: and as we watch this, what happens is the punt

1611
01:19:10,120 --> 01:19:12,320
Speaker 1: return guy you know, has an extra ten or twelve

1612
01:19:12,439 --> 01:19:16,160
Speaker 1: yards after catching the ball before the gunners arrive, because

1613
01:19:16,320 --> 01:19:18,519
Speaker 1: they're held back, you know, for that sort of second

1614
01:19:18,560 --> 01:19:20,960
Speaker 1: and a half or two seconds until the ball is kicked.

1615
01:19:21,560 --> 01:19:23,880
Speaker 1: So we've got we've got a handful of innovations that

1616
01:19:24,000 --> 01:19:26,760
Speaker 1: we think are thoughtful. We think there's a sort of

1617
01:19:26,800 --> 01:19:30,000
Speaker 1: a smart rationale behind it. We've got it. Probably the

1618
01:19:30,040 --> 01:19:32,240
Speaker 1: biggest one that fans will notice off the bat beyond

1619
01:19:32,280 --> 01:19:35,479
Speaker 1: the twenty five second clock is our not overtime, I'm sorry,

1620
01:19:35,520 --> 01:19:39,160
Speaker 1: our extra point. So you score a touchdown at six points, right,

1621
01:19:39,160 --> 01:19:41,760
Speaker 1: we all are familiar with that. And then you have

1622
01:19:41,840 --> 01:19:44,240
Speaker 1: a one point, a two point, and the three point

1623
01:19:44,360 --> 01:19:47,759
Speaker 1: option that you can choose. They're all plays from scrimmage.

1624
01:19:47,760 --> 01:19:51,080
Speaker 1: There's no kicking with our extra points. And you know,

1625
01:19:51,120 --> 01:19:52,880
Speaker 1: the one point goes from the two yard line, the

1626
01:19:52,960 --> 01:19:55,400
Speaker 1: two point try goes from the five, the three point

1627
01:19:55,479 --> 01:19:58,040
Speaker 1: try goes from the ten, So theoretically that you could

1628
01:19:58,040 --> 01:20:00,800
Speaker 1: have a nine point touchdown. We think that makes some

1629
01:20:00,880 --> 01:20:03,479
Speaker 1: sense because it allows teams to get into the game faster,

1630
01:20:03,760 --> 01:20:06,479
Speaker 1: right if they're if they're down by twelve or thirteen

1631
01:20:06,560 --> 01:20:08,599
Speaker 1: or whatever. You know, what was a three score game

1632
01:20:08,680 --> 01:20:10,439
Speaker 1: can become a two score game, What was a two

1633
01:20:10,479 --> 01:20:12,240
Speaker 1: score game could become a one score game. So I

1634
01:20:12,360 --> 01:20:15,519
Speaker 1: think that's going to be interesting to see how the coaches,

1635
01:20:15,640 --> 01:20:18,760
Speaker 1: you know, strategize the extra point. Do I vote for one,

1636
01:20:18,800 --> 01:20:20,040
Speaker 1: do I vote for two? Or do I kind of

1637
01:20:20,120 --> 01:20:22,519
Speaker 1: roll the dice and go for three? So that I

1638
01:20:22,600 --> 01:20:24,720
Speaker 1: think that'll be interesting for fans as well. Anything that

1639
01:20:25,360 --> 01:20:29,080
Speaker 1: I think brings more strategy into the game is something

1640
01:20:29,120 --> 01:20:31,599
Speaker 1: that's fun because it allows us as fans the second

1641
01:20:31,640 --> 01:20:34,200
Speaker 1: guess our coaches, and that's pretty much what we always do,

1642
01:20:34,400 --> 01:20:36,439
Speaker 1: right Yeah, Owever, what are you doing an overtime? You

1643
01:20:36,520 --> 01:20:39,080
Speaker 1: got an overtime? What do you call it? The overtime challenge,

1644
01:20:39,120 --> 01:20:44,720
Speaker 1: the overtime shout? Yeah, yeah, think of a hockey shootout, right, yeah,

1645
01:20:44,760 --> 01:20:47,920
Speaker 1: sabor shootout. So you know, the idea is that we

1646
01:20:48,080 --> 01:20:50,840
Speaker 1: want the players who took the game into overtime, those

1647
01:20:50,920 --> 01:20:53,519
Speaker 1: offensive and defensive starters right at the twenty two on

1648
01:20:53,600 --> 01:20:56,559
Speaker 1: each squad that you know, play hard, worked their tailoff

1649
01:20:56,600 --> 01:20:58,280
Speaker 1: and got it into overtime. We want those guys to

1650
01:20:58,400 --> 01:21:01,280
Speaker 1: decide overtime, not a kicker, right, and not have the

1651
01:21:01,360 --> 01:21:03,679
Speaker 1: sort of unfairness of you know, winning a coin toss,

1652
01:21:04,360 --> 01:21:06,439
Speaker 1: getting the kickoff and marching down and scoring when the

1653
01:21:06,520 --> 01:21:09,639
Speaker 1: other team never sees the fieldman over time. So basically,

1654
01:21:10,040 --> 01:21:14,160
Speaker 1: it's five alternating plays. So you know, the taskers are

1655
01:21:14,200 --> 01:21:17,960
Speaker 1: against the lux and tasker has his first team offense,

1656
01:21:18,040 --> 01:21:19,840
Speaker 1: my first team defense. You run a play from the

1657
01:21:19,880 --> 01:21:21,880
Speaker 1: five yard lines team and I go out there and

1658
01:21:21,960 --> 01:21:23,559
Speaker 1: run a play from the five yard line, and it's

1659
01:21:23,600 --> 01:21:27,040
Speaker 1: effectively a shootout. Each team has five plays. Whoever, you know,

1660
01:21:27,200 --> 01:21:29,519
Speaker 1: can get in the end zone more often than the

1661
01:21:29,560 --> 01:21:32,160
Speaker 1: other guy wins the game. We think it makes sense

1662
01:21:32,240 --> 01:21:34,879
Speaker 1: because you've got your starters. You know, you're eleven offensive

1663
01:21:34,880 --> 01:21:38,439
Speaker 1: you're eleven defensive starters that are actually deciding the game,

1664
01:21:38,920 --> 01:21:41,880
Speaker 1: you know, not, you know not sort of due to

1665
01:21:42,000 --> 01:21:44,080
Speaker 1: the sort of quirks, if you will, or unfairness of

1666
01:21:44,120 --> 01:21:46,280
Speaker 1: a you know, of a coin toss. I was laughing

1667
01:21:46,320 --> 01:21:49,320
Speaker 1: all of us, telling Murphy, the only problem with that

1668
01:21:49,400 --> 01:21:51,680
Speaker 1: shootout thing is because you're doing an opposite ends of

1669
01:21:51,720 --> 01:21:55,720
Speaker 1: the field, right. Well, we we tried that during our

1670
01:21:55,760 --> 01:21:57,760
Speaker 1: preseason and decided that it made sense to do it

1671
01:21:57,840 --> 01:21:59,519
Speaker 1: all at one end of the field. Yeah, because you

1672
01:21:59,520 --> 01:22:02,000
Speaker 1: don't want the old officials having to go back and forth, right,

1673
01:22:02,080 --> 01:22:03,519
Speaker 1: they're too old to running back and tell you what,

1674
01:22:04,120 --> 01:22:06,439
Speaker 1: it was hilarious to see a couple of you know,

1675
01:22:06,880 --> 01:22:08,760
Speaker 1: these guys sprinting down to the other side. But we

1676
01:22:08,880 --> 01:22:13,960
Speaker 1: realized we might have a heart attacker. So we're gonna

1677
01:22:14,040 --> 01:22:15,600
Speaker 1: we're gonna keep them all down at one end of

1678
01:22:15,640 --> 01:22:18,160
Speaker 1: the field. And but I think it'll be fun. We

1679
01:22:18,320 --> 01:22:22,519
Speaker 1: we the players love it, you know, because it's right again,

1680
01:22:22,560 --> 01:22:24,040
Speaker 1: it's it doesn't come down to the kick or the

1681
01:22:24,120 --> 01:22:25,920
Speaker 1: coin toss. It really comes down to the guys that

1682
01:22:26,040 --> 01:22:27,960
Speaker 1: you know, got you into overtime. We think that's that's

1683
01:22:27,960 --> 01:22:30,200
Speaker 1: a little bit more fair. And one of the other

1684
01:22:30,280 --> 01:22:33,280
Speaker 1: things too, this the the comeback period where the clock

1685
01:22:33,400 --> 01:22:36,320
Speaker 1: is gonna stop at the last two minutes of each half. UM.

1686
01:22:36,479 --> 01:22:40,240
Speaker 1: That's really to me intriguing because so many times there's

1687
01:22:40,479 --> 01:22:42,800
Speaker 1: not gonna be any kneel downs. And also it helps

1688
01:22:42,880 --> 01:22:44,640
Speaker 1: also the team that's trying to score, if they have

1689
01:22:44,760 --> 01:22:46,920
Speaker 1: the ball, they don't have to waste it down spike

1690
01:22:47,000 --> 01:22:49,320
Speaker 1: in the ball. UM. It really puts a lot of

1691
01:22:49,400 --> 01:22:53,679
Speaker 1: pressure on the defense to stop them and uh gives

1692
01:22:53,720 --> 01:22:56,400
Speaker 1: the offense a little bit makes it easier for them

1693
01:22:56,439 --> 01:22:58,160
Speaker 1: to go down and score. Really opens up the last

1694
01:22:58,160 --> 01:23:00,080
Speaker 1: two minutes of the half of both half. Yeah, we

1695
01:23:00,439 --> 01:23:02,679
Speaker 1: we we kind of borrowed that, to be very honest,

1696
01:23:02,720 --> 01:23:05,200
Speaker 1: from our friends at the CFL. Right, they have they

1697
01:23:05,240 --> 01:23:07,840
Speaker 1: have a three minute period where the clock literally stopped, so,

1698
01:23:07,960 --> 01:23:09,760
Speaker 1: you know, three minutes in the CFL at the end

1699
01:23:09,800 --> 01:23:12,679
Speaker 1: of each half could last you know, fifteen twenty minutes.

1700
01:23:12,720 --> 01:23:15,439
Speaker 1: That's right that Doug Flutie. Doug Flutie was advising us.

1701
01:23:15,520 --> 01:23:18,200
Speaker 1: I wanted to get a guy like Doug, you know,

1702
01:23:18,320 --> 01:23:19,880
Speaker 1: or Warren for that and met a Warren Moon, you know,

1703
01:23:19,960 --> 01:23:22,600
Speaker 1: guys that played quarterback in both leagues, and you know,

1704
01:23:22,680 --> 01:23:25,599
Speaker 1: Doug said, hey, you know, I always felt like if

1705
01:23:25,640 --> 01:23:27,479
Speaker 1: I had three minutes and at the end of the game,

1706
01:23:27,479 --> 01:23:30,880
Speaker 1: I could score twice, you know, And so we looked

1707
01:23:30,880 --> 01:23:32,479
Speaker 1: at that. We timed it out. You know, we want

1708
01:23:32,520 --> 01:23:34,679
Speaker 1: to get our games done in three minutes, but sort

1709
01:23:34,720 --> 01:23:37,479
Speaker 1: of the twenty five second clock saves us some time

1710
01:23:37,560 --> 01:23:39,320
Speaker 1: on the front end, which we can then sort of

1711
01:23:39,520 --> 01:23:42,200
Speaker 1: us you know, in those two minute periods. So we

1712
01:23:42,320 --> 01:23:44,240
Speaker 1: think that's going to be kind of fun. We've had,

1713
01:23:45,000 --> 01:23:46,680
Speaker 1: you know, in these mock games. We had I think

1714
01:23:46,720 --> 01:23:49,320
Speaker 1: one two minute period that went, uh, you know, about

1715
01:23:49,360 --> 01:23:52,320
Speaker 1: fifteen minutes in length, but there's something like twenty two

1716
01:23:52,439 --> 01:23:55,560
Speaker 1: played during a two minutes. It was fun because you know,

1717
01:23:55,600 --> 01:23:57,320
Speaker 1: both teams were going out. It was a it was

1718
01:23:57,400 --> 01:23:59,960
Speaker 1: a you know, a close game. So, uh, we've got

1719
01:24:00,120 --> 01:24:03,040
Speaker 1: a handful of innovations. We think they make some sense,

1720
01:24:03,720 --> 01:24:05,519
Speaker 1: but it's still I think when people turn on the TV,

1721
01:24:06,040 --> 01:24:08,679
Speaker 1: they'll see eleven on eleven football four down the same

1722
01:24:08,760 --> 01:24:12,439
Speaker 1: size field. You know, solid players. Yes, you're right, you'll

1723
01:24:12,479 --> 01:24:14,760
Speaker 1: have to really care about the game to note the

1724
01:24:14,920 --> 01:24:16,360
Speaker 1: names of some of these guys, but there'll be a

1725
01:24:16,400 --> 01:24:19,479
Speaker 1: lot of guys that people will recognize. Cartdale Jones formeral

1726
01:24:19,560 --> 01:24:22,040
Speaker 1: House said, quarterbacks going to be our quarterback down in

1727
01:24:22,320 --> 01:24:25,560
Speaker 1: you know, in DC, Landry Jones backed up you know,

1728
01:24:25,680 --> 01:24:28,759
Speaker 1: Roethlisberger for what six years or something. In Pittsburgh. Landry's

1729
01:24:28,760 --> 01:24:31,880
Speaker 1: our starter. In Dallas playing for Bob Stop. So there

1730
01:24:31,880 --> 01:24:34,120
Speaker 1: are some names that I think even casual football fans

1731
01:24:34,160 --> 01:24:37,000
Speaker 1: will recognize. Oliberd. It was lessening year ago that the

1732
01:24:37,080 --> 01:24:40,519
Speaker 1: Alliance of American Football launched and then folded up. What

1733
01:24:40,720 --> 01:24:43,559
Speaker 1: makes you think the XFL will succeed after yet another

1734
01:24:43,600 --> 01:24:46,439
Speaker 1: attempt at a at a spring football league failed just

1735
01:24:46,600 --> 01:24:51,559
Speaker 1: last fall. Yeah, Charr question. And you know, we can

1736
01:24:51,640 --> 01:24:53,280
Speaker 1: go back thirty forty years and look at some of

1737
01:24:53,280 --> 01:24:55,120
Speaker 1: the spring leagues and you know the reasons why they

1738
01:24:55,160 --> 01:24:59,680
Speaker 1: didn't stick around. I think we've got a much better opportunities,

1739
01:24:59,720 --> 01:25:02,080
Speaker 1: certainly than the Alliance. One is because of Vince McMahon,

1740
01:25:02,200 --> 01:25:07,000
Speaker 1: his resources. He's a husually successful entrepreneur with with WWE,

1741
01:25:07,320 --> 01:25:10,799
Speaker 1: his wrestling empire, and he's committed to this. He realizes

1742
01:25:10,880 --> 01:25:13,080
Speaker 1: this is not just a you know, a one year

1743
01:25:13,200 --> 01:25:16,040
Speaker 1: thing that you know, in order to really build franchises

1744
01:25:16,040 --> 01:25:18,000
Speaker 1: and build a brand, it may take you know, three

1745
01:25:18,120 --> 01:25:21,120
Speaker 1: four years. I think the second reason we touched on

1746
01:25:21,200 --> 01:25:23,240
Speaker 1: a little bit is is our broadcast partners. I don't

1747
01:25:23,240 --> 01:25:25,840
Speaker 1: think there's ever been a league that started with you know,

1748
01:25:26,040 --> 01:25:29,439
Speaker 1: such powerful media partners, So I think that that's going

1749
01:25:29,520 --> 01:25:32,519
Speaker 1: to set us a partner. The third thing I think is, Steve,

1750
01:25:32,560 --> 01:25:35,080
Speaker 1: I'd be curious what you think. I think right now

1751
01:25:35,200 --> 01:25:38,760
Speaker 1: we're seeing peak football. I think the football that we're

1752
01:25:38,800 --> 01:25:42,679
Speaker 1: watching NFL College is unbelievable. That players are so talented,

1753
01:25:43,479 --> 01:25:46,240
Speaker 1: and you know, as a result, I think there are

1754
01:25:46,320 --> 01:25:48,960
Speaker 1: so many guys that you know, yes they're not quite

1755
01:25:49,040 --> 01:25:51,960
Speaker 1: good enough for the NFL, but there's still darn goood football.

1756
01:25:52,040 --> 01:25:54,040
Speaker 1: Players love to play the game, are willing to play

1757
01:25:54,120 --> 01:25:57,000
Speaker 1: the game, willing to you know, play for relatively modest salaries,

1758
01:25:57,040 --> 01:25:59,640
Speaker 1: certainly when you compare it to the NFL. And I

1759
01:25:59,680 --> 01:26:01,719
Speaker 1: don't that was the case, you know, twenty or twenty

1760
01:26:01,760 --> 01:26:05,040
Speaker 1: five years ago. Um, and we decided that, you know,

1761
01:26:05,280 --> 01:26:07,680
Speaker 1: quarterbacks are more important than everybody else. I'm still a

1762
01:26:07,720 --> 01:26:10,000
Speaker 1: sort of a quarterback snob. So we went out and

1763
01:26:10,280 --> 01:26:12,200
Speaker 1: tried to sign some you know, some quarterbacks that we

1764
01:26:12,280 --> 01:26:14,920
Speaker 1: think can be really solid players, and ended up, you know,

1765
01:26:14,960 --> 01:26:17,679
Speaker 1: spending more money with those guys. But I think we're

1766
01:26:17,680 --> 01:26:20,120
Speaker 1: in a much different spot, certainly than the first x

1767
01:26:20,200 --> 01:26:22,920
Speaker 1: that fell back in two thousand, you know. And one

1768
01:26:23,000 --> 01:26:25,400
Speaker 1: because I think we're seeing, you know, so many solid

1769
01:26:25,439 --> 01:26:28,000
Speaker 1: players out there who for whatever reason, just you know,

1770
01:26:28,040 --> 01:26:30,240
Speaker 1: can't see him the stick on an NFL roster. Yeah,

1771
01:26:30,280 --> 01:26:32,200
Speaker 1: I agree with you. There's a plenty of players that

1772
01:26:32,280 --> 01:26:33,920
Speaker 1: will line up and play for And I think it'll

1773
01:26:33,960 --> 01:26:36,400
Speaker 1: come down to the competitiveness of the games and and

1774
01:26:36,600 --> 01:26:38,240
Speaker 1: you know, whether you get a chance to really see

1775
01:26:38,280 --> 01:26:42,640
Speaker 1: these these these you know, maybe call them improvements to

1776
01:26:42,800 --> 01:26:46,360
Speaker 1: the play clock, to the two minute comeback period, to

1777
01:26:46,560 --> 01:26:49,320
Speaker 1: the overtime stuff. Hopefully. And I'll just say this, Ali,

1778
01:26:49,400 --> 01:26:51,280
Speaker 1: I hope all four games this weekend going or next

1779
01:26:51,479 --> 01:26:53,720
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks go into overtime. For you, it'll

1780
01:26:53,720 --> 01:26:57,040
Speaker 1: be a id. I'd love to see that. That that'd

1781
01:26:57,080 --> 01:26:59,320
Speaker 1: be awesome. But yeah, I mean, based on what we saw,

1782
01:26:59,400 --> 01:27:01,960
Speaker 1: we did have some competitive matchups. Nobody seemed to be

1783
01:27:02,280 --> 01:27:05,599
Speaker 1: you know, dominating anybody else. So that's that that was encouraging. Oliver.

1784
01:27:05,760 --> 01:27:08,280
Speaker 1: Thanks for this, good luck with the XFL. Thank you,

1785
01:27:08,360 --> 01:27:11,640
Speaker 1: John Stevie. All's the pleasure. Pressure. Thanks Olli appreciate it.

1786
01:27:11,720 --> 01:27:15,799
Speaker 1: Oliver Luck, commissioner and CEO of XFL, former NFL quarterback

1787
01:27:15,840 --> 01:27:17,880
Speaker 1: for Houston, played five seasons in the league. It was

1788
01:27:17,920 --> 01:27:20,800
Speaker 1: a team neative Steave Taskers or the Houston Oilers. Feeling

1789
01:27:20,840 --> 01:27:24,040
Speaker 1: better about the XFL now now, I'm eager to with you.

1790
01:27:24,200 --> 01:27:26,559
Speaker 1: The thing that changes it is the fact that you're

1791
01:27:26,560 --> 01:27:28,760
Speaker 1: gonna be able to find those games really easily. Yeah,

1792
01:27:28,960 --> 01:27:31,799
Speaker 1: they're gonna be very on television. They're gonna pull numbers,

1793
01:27:31,840 --> 01:27:37,280
Speaker 1: and I think when they start pulling ratings, which you will,

1794
01:27:37,320 --> 01:27:39,280
Speaker 1: I mean, I told you this before we came on

1795
01:27:39,960 --> 01:27:43,960
Speaker 1: Live Sports. You gotta watch it live. People want to

1796
01:27:44,000 --> 01:27:47,200
Speaker 1: see it. It doesn't you don't DVR it and come back.

1797
01:27:47,280 --> 01:27:49,439
Speaker 1: Unless it's a championship game or super Bowl maybe something

1798
01:27:49,560 --> 01:27:51,519
Speaker 1: like that you dvr, but you you know, DVR a

1799
01:27:51,600 --> 01:27:54,720
Speaker 1: regular season NFL game most of the time unless it's

1800
01:27:54,720 --> 01:27:59,040
Speaker 1: your team playing. You gotta get see it live otherwise,

1801
01:27:59,080 --> 01:28:00,920
Speaker 1: you know the outcome wise, all this stuff, you know,

1802
01:28:00,960 --> 01:28:03,719
Speaker 1: gets in your way of enjoying it. So I'm sure,

1803
01:28:04,600 --> 01:28:06,760
Speaker 1: particularly in Week one, it'll probably pull some pretty good

1804
01:28:06,840 --> 01:28:10,400
Speaker 1: numbers and they've it's it's gonna be fun to see.

1805
01:28:10,400 --> 01:28:12,760
Speaker 1: It'll be it's interesting if nothing else. Even if it's

1806
01:28:12,800 --> 01:28:14,320
Speaker 1: not the games aren't good, it's gonna be interesting to

1807
01:28:14,360 --> 01:28:15,800
Speaker 1: see how it developed. As I said at the top

1808
01:28:15,840 --> 01:28:18,120
Speaker 1: of our show, I used to worry. I guess worry,

1809
01:28:18,240 --> 01:28:21,320
Speaker 1: not worry. But I used to think, Oh, there's over saturation.

1810
01:28:21,400 --> 01:28:23,639
Speaker 1: You can't have that much football. I don't. I don't

1811
01:28:23,680 --> 01:28:25,720
Speaker 1: think that's the case. There's so much football on now,

1812
01:28:25,960 --> 01:28:29,280
Speaker 1: college pro football on your TV and a couple more

1813
01:28:29,360 --> 01:28:32,960
Speaker 1: months of decent quality pro football is not going to

1814
01:28:33,000 --> 01:28:35,800
Speaker 1: be oversaturation. I think there'll be. It won't be a

1815
01:28:35,880 --> 01:28:39,240
Speaker 1: big audience. It'll be a small, maybe committed audience on TV.

1816
01:28:39,320 --> 01:28:42,439
Speaker 1: I really believe. Yeah, we'll see it's interesting. And you know,

1817
01:28:42,680 --> 01:28:44,920
Speaker 1: not for nothing. I mean there's always the gambling aspect

1818
01:28:44,960 --> 01:28:46,920
Speaker 1: of it. To Vegas will get involved. They'll be that

1819
01:28:47,400 --> 01:28:50,000
Speaker 1: niche market. Gambling is only getting bigger. It's yeah, it's

1820
01:28:50,000 --> 01:28:51,960
Speaker 1: not going anywhere. And then and they're always looking for

1821
01:28:52,040 --> 01:28:55,240
Speaker 1: something like this. But I think interestingly enough too, it's

1822
01:28:55,360 --> 01:28:58,559
Speaker 1: it's gonna come down to can they hang in there

1823
01:28:58,720 --> 01:29:02,200
Speaker 1: and start to get out of the red And once

1824
01:29:02,240 --> 01:29:05,160
Speaker 1: they do that, it's not going anywhere. And it's not

1825
01:29:05,240 --> 01:29:07,320
Speaker 1: going to go anywhere. It'll, it'll, it'll be here for

1826
01:29:07,600 --> 01:29:10,360
Speaker 1: the foreseeable future. And they don't. And they, unlike the

1827
01:29:10,439 --> 01:29:12,720
Speaker 1: last league, the AF, this one, they're not trying to

1828
01:29:12,800 --> 01:29:15,680
Speaker 1: partner with the NFL. They're signing their guys and they're

1829
01:29:15,720 --> 01:29:20,160
Speaker 1: hanging on to them. And almost immediately last time, last

1830
01:29:20,200 --> 01:29:23,200
Speaker 1: a year ago, they were started losing players almost immediately

1831
01:29:23,240 --> 01:29:25,080
Speaker 1: off their rosters, and you know it kind of painted

1832
01:29:25,160 --> 01:29:28,919
Speaker 1: hard to field teams and some and replace those guys immediately.

1833
01:29:29,000 --> 01:29:32,720
Speaker 1: So it is interesting, there's no question about it, no

1834
01:29:32,880 --> 01:29:34,479
Speaker 1: question about it. We got a break here, We got

1835
01:29:34,520 --> 01:29:36,920
Speaker 1: more to come. One Bill's Live, presented by Kalida Health

1849
01:30:25,920 --> 01:30:27,080
Speaker 1: It will be in the game. I don't know if

1850
01:30:27,120 --> 01:30:30,040
Speaker 1: heybody's got to play, right? Hey? All right? Which rule

1851
01:30:30,160 --> 01:30:32,240
Speaker 1: change should the NFL at top? You heard Oliver Luck

1852
01:30:32,320 --> 01:30:35,400
Speaker 1: talk about some of the XFL rules changes. Maybe one

1853
01:30:35,439 --> 01:30:39,879
Speaker 1: of those, what do you think x fls overtime shootout

1854
01:30:40,080 --> 01:30:43,000
Speaker 1: is explained by Oliver Luck the fourth and fifteen attempt?

1855
01:30:43,080 --> 01:30:45,519
Speaker 1: You may see it this Sunday in the Pro Bowl

1856
01:30:46,280 --> 01:30:49,360
Speaker 1: on stendhaman outside kick, the twenty five second play clock

1857
01:30:49,680 --> 01:30:52,080
Speaker 1: in the XFL, or something else. Give us a call.

1858
01:30:52,200 --> 01:30:55,479
Speaker 1: Eight oh three oh five fifty total three one eight

1859
01:30:55,640 --> 01:30:58,000
Speaker 1: eight eight five fifty two five fifty. Let's go to

1860
01:30:58,080 --> 01:30:59,720
Speaker 1: some of the tweets from the tweet sheet brought to

1861
01:30:59,720 --> 01:31:02,400
Speaker 1: you by Corrigan Moving Systems, the official movers of the

1862
01:31:02,400 --> 01:31:05,280
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills Bills Nation seven one six. To add a

1863
01:31:05,360 --> 01:31:07,160
Speaker 1: fourth and fifteen would make the game a lot more

1864
01:31:07,240 --> 01:31:10,520
Speaker 1: interesting because if there's a past interference, they would automatically

1865
01:31:10,560 --> 01:31:12,760
Speaker 1: get the first down, which would make it more fun

1866
01:31:12,840 --> 01:31:15,719
Speaker 1: to watch, whereas the on side kick is barely ever recovered.

1867
01:31:15,760 --> 01:31:18,280
Speaker 1: So it's a split decision here, I don't know. You

1868
01:31:18,400 --> 01:31:20,280
Speaker 1: make the argument and then you say it's a split decision.

1869
01:31:20,320 --> 01:31:21,559
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's a split well, I mean

1870
01:31:21,920 --> 01:31:23,880
Speaker 1: he's saying the split decision would be as a coin

1871
01:31:23,960 --> 01:31:25,759
Speaker 1: flip is whether you get it or not because the PI.

1872
01:31:26,800 --> 01:31:29,840
Speaker 1: The problem is this what happens if you can also

1873
01:31:29,880 --> 01:31:32,040
Speaker 1: and I'm not saying I'm not saying Bay would do it,

1874
01:31:32,720 --> 01:31:34,400
Speaker 1: but what if you can get a guy who you

1875
01:31:34,520 --> 01:31:36,080
Speaker 1: can push his buttons, all of a sudden, you get

1876
01:31:36,120 --> 01:31:38,160
Speaker 1: one of their guys to swing on you as an

1877
01:31:38,200 --> 01:31:41,439
Speaker 1: offensive player. Personal foul fifteen yards first down. Let's go

1878
01:31:44,280 --> 01:31:46,960
Speaker 1: any of those penalties that are first automatic guest downs

1879
01:31:47,400 --> 01:31:51,080
Speaker 1: are first downs, right, and so that puts a lot

1880
01:31:51,120 --> 01:31:55,040
Speaker 1: of pressure on the defense and opens up you know,

1881
01:31:55,400 --> 01:31:57,720
Speaker 1: the proverbial that I've been talking about, the proverbial can

1882
01:31:57,840 --> 01:31:59,519
Speaker 1: of worms that you may not want to go down.

1883
01:32:00,120 --> 01:32:02,920
Speaker 1: Daniel's tweet to the tweet sheet. How about the reps

1884
01:32:03,000 --> 01:32:05,920
Speaker 1: only have twenty seconds to look at any replay. If

1885
01:32:05,960 --> 01:32:08,599
Speaker 1: it's not conclusive enough at that point, then it stays

1886
01:32:08,680 --> 01:32:10,880
Speaker 1: as called them, we all move on twenty second. Would

1887
01:32:10,880 --> 01:32:13,200
Speaker 1: you like to lose an AFC or NFC championship game

1888
01:32:13,240 --> 01:32:17,920
Speaker 1: because of technical difficulties? Yeah, looking at twenty seconds, I'd

1889
01:32:17,960 --> 01:32:19,680
Speaker 1: like them to move a little bit quicker. But I

1890
01:32:19,720 --> 01:32:22,200
Speaker 1: can tell you there's many replays that you're watching on

1891
01:32:22,280 --> 01:32:25,479
Speaker 1: TV and takes twenty seconds just to get a sense

1892
01:32:25,520 --> 01:32:27,320
Speaker 1: of where you are. Almost where's the ball? Let me

1893
01:32:27,360 --> 01:32:30,040
Speaker 1: see that again? What that's a little How about watching

1894
01:32:30,080 --> 01:32:31,920
Speaker 1: the replays in real time and say you made that

1895
01:32:32,040 --> 01:32:34,519
Speaker 1: point a couple of last year at this time, why

1896
01:32:34,520 --> 01:32:36,200
Speaker 1: don't you just watch the replays at real time. If

1897
01:32:36,200 --> 01:32:37,840
Speaker 1: you can't tell in real time, we're looking at it

1898
01:32:37,920 --> 01:32:41,360
Speaker 1: over and over, let it slide. Yeah. I'm for that

1899
01:32:41,439 --> 01:32:45,599
Speaker 1: as well. I mean, let's try and improve it because

1900
01:32:45,640 --> 01:32:48,839
Speaker 1: it stinks right now with a coach's challenges on defensive

1901
01:32:48,880 --> 01:32:51,800
Speaker 1: pass interference, offensive past interference, it's toward it. Here's one

1902
01:32:51,840 --> 01:32:53,840
Speaker 1: more from Tom on the tweet sheet, and you can

1903
01:32:53,880 --> 01:32:57,160
Speaker 1: help us with this seat use some CFL rules on

1904
01:32:57,320 --> 01:33:00,320
Speaker 1: side punt running start four receivers. What's it onside punt

1905
01:33:00,360 --> 01:33:02,880
Speaker 1: in the CFL. Well, here's the thing. If you can

1906
01:33:03,160 --> 01:33:06,400
Speaker 1: punt the ball at any time. If it's in the

1907
01:33:06,560 --> 01:33:08,560
Speaker 1: NFL's behind the line of scrimmage and the CFL you

1908
01:33:08,560 --> 01:33:12,040
Speaker 1: can punt it at any time. And for instance, if

1909
01:33:12,080 --> 01:33:15,160
Speaker 1: you throw a little swing past your wide receiver he

1910
01:33:15,320 --> 01:33:17,080
Speaker 1: runs up and he gets in front of some of

1911
01:33:17,160 --> 01:33:19,439
Speaker 1: your players, he can then you kind of put the

1912
01:33:19,479 --> 01:33:21,320
Speaker 1: ball like just drop it on his foot and punt

1913
01:33:21,360 --> 01:33:26,799
Speaker 1: it however far he wants to, and anybody who's behind

1914
01:33:27,000 --> 01:33:30,240
Speaker 1: him and him himself can recover it like it's a

1915
01:33:30,280 --> 01:33:33,680
Speaker 1: live ball if you punt it like that, if but

1916
01:33:33,840 --> 01:33:36,000
Speaker 1: you have to be behind him. So like on a

1917
01:33:36,040 --> 01:33:38,200
Speaker 1: regular punt, the punter punts it, everybody's in front of him,

1918
01:33:38,240 --> 01:33:41,479
Speaker 1: he punts it away, and now if he gets down

1919
01:33:41,520 --> 01:33:43,720
Speaker 1: there and recovers it, he could do that, but he'll

1920
01:33:43,760 --> 01:33:45,360
Speaker 1: never make it because he punts it down there. It's

1921
01:33:45,360 --> 01:33:48,800
Speaker 1: a field position game. Other plays. If you're running around

1922
01:33:48,840 --> 01:33:51,479
Speaker 1: and you punt the ball, you can recover your own

1923
01:33:51,560 --> 01:33:55,120
Speaker 1: punt or and it's a first down, or anybody behind

1924
01:33:55,200 --> 01:33:56,760
Speaker 1: you on your own team that goes down and gets

1925
01:33:56,800 --> 01:33:59,120
Speaker 1: the ball live even if the other team doesn't touch it,

1926
01:33:59,479 --> 01:34:01,280
Speaker 1: it's a lie ball and you can recover it. So

1927
01:34:01,479 --> 01:34:06,760
Speaker 1: that's a CFL rule that work Oh, it's hard. Here's

1928
01:34:06,760 --> 01:34:08,519
Speaker 1: the thing. It's hard to do because the move, the

1929
01:34:08,600 --> 01:34:10,240
Speaker 1: game moves so and there's a remember that's a big

1930
01:34:10,320 --> 01:34:13,759
Speaker 1: field up there in the small confines of the NFL.

1931
01:34:14,560 --> 01:34:17,519
Speaker 1: Um I don't know to start to drop the ball

1932
01:34:17,600 --> 01:34:20,160
Speaker 1: and punt it away. Here's what you've missed. It's a

1933
01:34:20,240 --> 01:34:21,800
Speaker 1: turn It could be a turnover right there. If you

1934
01:34:21,840 --> 01:34:24,920
Speaker 1: don't get that kickoff, I mean you lose it right there,

1935
01:34:25,000 --> 01:34:27,280
Speaker 1: they cover it. You're you're you're dead in the ground.

1936
01:34:27,800 --> 01:34:32,840
Speaker 1: Now here's also a hole in that rule that actually

1937
01:34:32,880 --> 01:34:35,320
Speaker 1: my son asked an official about and the guy tapped

1938
01:34:35,320 --> 01:34:37,280
Speaker 1: on the shows says, you're a genius. So you you

1939
01:34:38,600 --> 01:34:42,519
Speaker 1: it's fourth and twenty five, so they drop off. You've

1940
01:34:42,520 --> 01:34:45,160
Speaker 1: seen NFL the Bills in one of the couple of

1941
01:34:45,160 --> 01:34:47,080
Speaker 1: their games. You know, you drop off, you let him

1942
01:34:47,200 --> 01:34:49,920
Speaker 1: throw the short pass and then you come up and

1943
01:34:49,960 --> 01:34:51,519
Speaker 1: make the tackle. Well, they wouldn't be able to do

1944
01:34:51,640 --> 01:34:54,720
Speaker 1: that if this live punt thing was for real. So

1945
01:34:54,880 --> 01:34:58,400
Speaker 1: here's what you do. You like, say the Bills throw

1946
01:34:58,439 --> 01:35:02,000
Speaker 1: the ball to Andre Roberts and he's behind the line

1947
01:35:02,040 --> 01:35:04,320
Speaker 1: scrimmage or whatever, and they're clear off. He's got space.

1948
01:35:04,360 --> 01:35:07,240
Speaker 1: All he has to do is punt it with his foot,

1949
01:35:07,400 --> 01:35:11,400
Speaker 1: punt it two yards, catch it first down because there's

1950
01:35:11,400 --> 01:35:13,880
Speaker 1: a live ball, he's behind the ball, and anytime you

1951
01:35:13,960 --> 01:35:16,240
Speaker 1: can punt it and recover your own punt, it's a

1952
01:35:16,320 --> 01:35:20,599
Speaker 1: first down. So that opens up. That's a slippery slope

1953
01:35:20,640 --> 01:35:23,960
Speaker 1: as well. That would be very weird. What about running

1954
01:35:24,000 --> 01:35:26,160
Speaker 1: start for receivers. We see that all the time almost

1955
01:35:26,160 --> 01:35:29,400
Speaker 1: every down in the CFL. Oh, it is absolutely every down.

1956
01:35:29,520 --> 01:35:33,000
Speaker 1: How would that work in the NFL? And open it up?

1957
01:35:33,320 --> 01:35:36,160
Speaker 1: It's tough because you got these guys running full speed

1958
01:35:36,200 --> 01:35:38,720
Speaker 1: at the line of scrimmage and you got to You

1959
01:35:38,840 --> 01:35:42,560
Speaker 1: gotta match their speed pretty quickly to get deep. And

1960
01:35:42,640 --> 01:35:45,759
Speaker 1: you can imagine a guy like Isaiah McKenzie or Tyreek

1961
01:35:45,880 --> 01:35:48,800
Speaker 1: Hill getting a running start from however far he needs

1962
01:35:49,600 --> 01:35:51,760
Speaker 1: to get going. Now you can say, hey, I'm gonna

1963
01:35:51,800 --> 01:35:53,439
Speaker 1: you know, you're gonna catch him at the line scrimmage

1964
01:35:53,479 --> 01:35:56,080
Speaker 1: jam him. Yeah, if you can get your hands on him,

1965
01:35:56,120 --> 01:35:58,160
Speaker 1: he's got a full hold load of speed. He could

1966
01:35:58,160 --> 01:36:00,760
Speaker 1: just run around you wide. And now you're standing there

1967
01:36:01,200 --> 01:36:04,240
Speaker 1: reaching back trying to get a finger on him. Plus

1968
01:36:04,479 --> 01:36:07,080
Speaker 1: and here's the you're gonna you got your eye on

1969
01:36:07,120 --> 01:36:09,040
Speaker 1: them all of a sudden, three guys run in front

1970
01:36:09,080 --> 01:36:11,439
Speaker 1: of the other his buddies. They're all like weaving coming

1971
01:36:11,520 --> 01:36:13,120
Speaker 1: up to the line of scrimmage. You gotta sort through

1972
01:36:13,200 --> 01:36:16,040
Speaker 1: the weave as they explode, you know, like you've seen

1973
01:36:16,200 --> 01:36:18,320
Speaker 1: like a cluster formation in the NFL where they're steady,

1974
01:36:18,320 --> 01:36:20,120
Speaker 1: where you gotta tight end on the line of scrimmage.

1975
01:36:20,160 --> 01:36:23,120
Speaker 1: Two guys off his hips. Well do that at a

1976
01:36:23,200 --> 01:36:25,599
Speaker 1: running start with three guys exploding out of that spot

1977
01:36:25,680 --> 01:36:28,680
Speaker 1: at full speed. It's a handful for defenses. And you

1978
01:36:28,720 --> 01:36:30,680
Speaker 1: can imagine putting that in a big field like the

1979
01:36:30,760 --> 01:36:34,360
Speaker 1: Canadian Football League and makes it even more difficult factory. Right,

1980
01:36:34,439 --> 01:36:36,760
Speaker 1: So it is something I think that does open the

1981
01:36:36,840 --> 01:36:39,680
Speaker 1: game up. It changes your ability to play defense and

1982
01:36:39,760 --> 01:36:45,759
Speaker 1: how you defend players. Here's wild and it won't happen

1983
01:36:46,520 --> 01:36:50,800
Speaker 1: because there is no way to anticipate the ripple effect

1984
01:36:50,840 --> 01:36:53,519
Speaker 1: and how it would fundamentally change offense in the NFL.

1985
01:36:53,680 --> 01:36:56,920
Speaker 1: It may make it look completely different. The numbers may

1986
01:36:56,960 --> 01:36:59,960
Speaker 1: go through the roof, or they make you go side,

1987
01:37:00,200 --> 01:37:01,920
Speaker 1: you know, make go sideways. It may be the exact

1988
01:37:02,000 --> 01:37:04,599
Speaker 1: same numbers, but they look completely different than what we're

1989
01:37:04,640 --> 01:37:06,640
Speaker 1: used to seeing, you know, Fans won't like that, they

1990
01:37:06,680 --> 01:37:09,000
Speaker 1: won't understand what's going on. So there's a lot of

1991
01:37:09,040 --> 01:37:12,120
Speaker 1: that going on. There's a lot to that that's a

1992
01:37:12,240 --> 01:37:15,599
Speaker 1: fundamental change, that that's different, and it would be difficult

1993
01:37:15,640 --> 01:37:19,000
Speaker 1: to in to install. You know, it's fun to do this,

1994
01:37:19,200 --> 01:37:20,800
Speaker 1: and we'll do some more of a third hour of

1995
01:37:20,840 --> 01:37:23,080
Speaker 1: the show coming up, and it's fun to imagine what

1996
01:37:23,240 --> 01:37:25,000
Speaker 1: might happen. But you you bring up a good point.

1997
01:37:25,479 --> 01:37:27,639
Speaker 1: The NFL is a pretty good game already. You don't

1998
01:37:27,680 --> 01:37:29,280
Speaker 1: want to change things too much to a game that

1999
01:37:29,400 --> 01:37:33,200
Speaker 1: is very popular and very easy to understand I think

2000
01:37:33,240 --> 01:37:35,559
Speaker 1: for most people, right, And some of these changes, although

2001
01:37:35,560 --> 01:37:37,320
Speaker 1: it's a while, that'd be fun, that'd be fun, that'd

2002
01:37:37,360 --> 01:37:39,360
Speaker 1: be fun. Yeah, they might be, but if it changes

2003
01:37:39,400 --> 01:37:41,519
Speaker 1: the character the game, it might be too much. You

2004
01:37:41,560 --> 01:37:45,200
Speaker 1: don't want to Yeah, they don't. They're the NFL is

2005
01:37:45,240 --> 01:37:49,920
Speaker 1: all about evolving, not transforming. They're going to transform anything

2006
01:37:50,000 --> 01:37:53,120
Speaker 1: they everybody wishes they could transform into the NFL, all

2007
01:37:53,160 --> 01:37:55,760
Speaker 1: these other leagues. Right, the league's got it going on.

2008
01:37:55,920 --> 01:37:59,400
Speaker 1: So they're not going to tip over that apple cart

2009
01:37:59,520 --> 01:38:01,680
Speaker 1: for any just for I mean, they'll tinker with it

2010
01:38:01,760 --> 01:38:04,280
Speaker 1: like they always do to keep it fresh, but that's

2011
01:38:04,320 --> 01:38:06,800
Speaker 1: about it. Yeah, all right. When we come back after

2012
01:38:06,880 --> 01:38:09,040
Speaker 1: the break top of the hour break, we'll discuss more

2013
01:38:09,080 --> 01:38:10,640
Speaker 1: of this and you can give us your thoughts on

2014
01:38:10,760 --> 01:38:13,800
Speaker 1: the possible rules changes for the NFL. Coming up in

Speaker 1: the Legion Stadium yesterday. The announcement comes close to three

2044
01:39:52,960 --> 01:39:56,200
Speaker 1: years after after the Raiders move was approved in March

2045

2046

Speaker 1: as a player. He would love to have him as

2047
01:40:01,680 --> 01:40:05,120
Speaker 1: a coach, he told Sirius XM NFL Radio yesterday. He

2048
01:40:05,240 --> 01:40:08,400

2049
01:40:08,479 --> 01:40:11,160

2053
01:40:21,600 --> 01:40:25,719

Speaker 1: Star Game for his third appearance in the row. I

2059
01:40:39,960 --> 01:40:42,040
Speaker 1: call having a career year where the Sabers leads the

2060
01:40:42,080 --> 01:40:45,519
Speaker 1: team in virtually every offensive category. And that's the update

2061
01:40:45,600 --> 01:40:47,920
Speaker 1: from One Bill's Drive. John Murphy and Steve Tasker in

2062
01:40:48,120 --> 01:40:51,519
Speaker 1: ar Seneca Studio talking about a lot of rules changes today.

2063
01:40:52,360 --> 01:40:54,800
Speaker 1: Here's a tweet I wanted to read from Sloan Bills fan.

2064
01:40:55,240 --> 01:40:56,760
Speaker 1: Rather than come up with a new rule, I'm with

2065
01:40:56,840 --> 01:40:59,680
Speaker 1: Steve's ongoing narrative. How about the refs work on being

2066
01:41:00,000 --> 01:41:02,960
Speaker 1: assistant across the league. I'm for that. Too. How about

2067
01:41:03,160 --> 01:41:05,240
Speaker 1: how about we have a moratorium on rule changes in

2068
01:41:05,240 --> 01:41:07,960
Speaker 1: the NFL Steve and just say, hey, we're gonna keep

2069
01:41:07,960 --> 01:41:09,960
Speaker 1: the rules as is. You guys, get better at your job.

2070
01:41:10,000 --> 01:41:14,720
Speaker 1: What about that? I'm for it. Unfortunately, that's what they

2071
01:41:14,800 --> 01:41:18,000
Speaker 1: always say to these guys, You'll say, get better, but

2072
01:41:18,080 --> 01:41:21,400
Speaker 1: they change rules every year. Oh yeah, that's right. But

2073
01:41:21,600 --> 01:41:24,560
Speaker 1: here's the thing too, some of the officials aren't like

2074
01:41:25,080 --> 01:41:27,280
Speaker 1: just hey, by the way, here's your rule changes. The

2075
01:41:27,360 --> 01:41:32,280
Speaker 1: officials are in the room. They're they're guiding the conversation.

2076
01:41:32,400 --> 01:41:34,760
Speaker 1: That didn't happen when the past interference changed last year,

2077
01:41:35,520 --> 01:41:37,040
Speaker 1: Oh you can bet it did. They were in the

2078
01:41:37,120 --> 01:41:39,320
Speaker 1: room after it was decided by the coaches they were

2079
01:41:39,360 --> 01:41:41,400
Speaker 1: gonna make this change, just like they always are there

2080
01:41:41,479 --> 01:41:43,800
Speaker 1: in the room for that. They have no question about it.

2081
01:41:43,880 --> 01:41:45,600
Speaker 1: Now here's because they're what are they gonna do? I

2082
01:41:45,640 --> 01:41:48,360
Speaker 1: mean the but here's the they're always in the room

2083
01:41:48,400 --> 01:41:50,760
Speaker 1: and they're guiding the conversation, and they're always and they're

2084
01:41:50,800 --> 01:41:52,960
Speaker 1: the ones also who say wait a minute, wait a minute, okay,

2085
01:41:52,960 --> 01:41:56,000
Speaker 1: because they I've told you this before. The officials see

2086
01:41:56,080 --> 01:41:58,519
Speaker 1: this game and a from a completely different perspective, do

2087
01:41:58,600 --> 01:42:01,519
Speaker 1: you think those coaches the voted at the spring NFL

2088
01:42:01,640 --> 01:42:06,360
Speaker 1: owners meetings consulted with officials before allowing replay to be Um,

2089
01:42:06,439 --> 01:42:08,680
Speaker 1: what do you mean consult Did they have anybody in

2090
01:42:08,720 --> 01:42:11,040
Speaker 1: the room? Did they say? I don't know about that, Steve,

2091
01:42:11,160 --> 01:42:13,679
Speaker 1: it was a coaches meeting. It was Sean Payton getting

2092
01:42:13,680 --> 01:42:17,360
Speaker 1: coaches together. Well, you mean like nothing was decided in

2093
01:42:17,439 --> 01:42:18,920
Speaker 1: just a coach's meeting if they had to go to

2094
01:42:19,000 --> 01:42:21,040
Speaker 1: the competition committee and the coach you know, brought to

2095
01:42:21,120 --> 01:42:24,040
Speaker 1: that once they're in the competition committee, absolutely short circuit

2096
01:42:24,080 --> 01:42:26,120
Speaker 1: of the competition committee. They went around that. They didn't

2097
01:42:26,200 --> 01:42:28,439
Speaker 1: end run around the competition committee. The owners did, or

2098
01:42:28,479 --> 01:42:33,759
Speaker 1: the coaches did. They did. Nothing happens without the consent

2099
01:42:33,800 --> 01:42:36,479
Speaker 1: of the competition committee. Now they they might have sabotaged that,

2100
01:42:36,520 --> 01:42:38,840
Speaker 1: they might have gotten a click together who carried the day.

2101
01:42:38,960 --> 01:42:40,759
Speaker 1: But there's no question once they got into the competition

2102
01:42:40,800 --> 01:42:43,360
Speaker 1: committee room, there's officials in there. Go ahead, What was

2103
01:42:43,439 --> 01:42:46,519
Speaker 1: your point? I can't remember. Now you got me all fluster.

2104
01:42:46,640 --> 01:42:48,120
Speaker 1: What was I saying? I don't know, I can't reme

2105
01:42:48,200 --> 01:42:50,639
Speaker 1: didn't make much sense? Yeah, I know, right, like usual,

2106
01:42:52,000 --> 01:42:53,880
Speaker 1: are we talking about? What does the guy? What did

2107
01:42:53,880 --> 01:42:57,400
Speaker 1: the guys say, just getting consistent that, yeah, they're always

2108
01:42:57,439 --> 01:43:01,200
Speaker 1: in there. And I don't know, I don't know what

2109
01:43:01,320 --> 01:43:03,559
Speaker 1: my point was. Let's go to the tweet sheet, brought

2110
01:43:03,560 --> 01:43:05,840
Speaker 1: to you by Corrigan Moving Systems, the official movers of

2111
01:43:05,840 --> 01:43:09,160
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills, which rule change should the NFL adopt

2112
01:43:09,280 --> 01:43:12,160
Speaker 1: from Chris. The XFL can throw two forward passes on

2113
01:43:12,240 --> 01:43:13,920
Speaker 1: the same play as long as the first one is

2114
01:43:13,960 --> 01:43:15,760
Speaker 1: not past the line of scrimmage. I like that one.

2115
01:43:16,080 --> 01:43:19,080
Speaker 1: You don't think that'll be much of a factor at all? Right, No,

2116
01:43:19,800 --> 01:43:22,880
Speaker 1: I don't either. I mean, you know it's a trick play. Okay,

2117
01:43:22,920 --> 01:43:26,200
Speaker 1: you can run a trick play. Nobody nobody really cares.

2118
01:43:26,400 --> 01:43:28,800
Speaker 1: And I you know, you'll get they'll be they'll be

2119
01:43:28,920 --> 01:43:31,400
Speaker 1: coaching staffs that get real creative and stuff. But you

2120
01:43:31,439 --> 01:43:32,840
Speaker 1: know it's gonna look like some of the stuff you

2121
01:43:32,880 --> 01:43:37,360
Speaker 1: see now. So one out now, it's just got one's

2122
01:43:37,360 --> 01:43:40,880
Speaker 1: got to be backwards. So the guy who catches the

2123
01:43:40,920 --> 01:43:43,240
Speaker 1: ball now can be two feet in front of the

2124
01:43:43,320 --> 01:43:45,280
Speaker 1: quarterback and seat of two feet behind him. It's a

2125
01:43:45,400 --> 01:43:48,920
Speaker 1: big deal. Yeah, you know, I just you're still gonna

2126
01:43:49,080 --> 01:43:52,400
Speaker 1: listen that it's a small field and the defenders can't

2127
01:43:52,640 --> 01:43:56,320
Speaker 1: this just in the league is full of really fast guys,

2128
01:43:56,520 --> 01:43:59,160
Speaker 1: and that ball's in the air. You got bunches of

2129
01:43:59,320 --> 01:44:02,519
Speaker 1: really fast guys chasing it. You better catch it and

2130
01:44:02,720 --> 01:44:05,280
Speaker 1: get your eyes down field ready to throw it down there,

2131
01:44:05,479 --> 01:44:08,439
Speaker 1: or you're gonna get labeled. So you can stand back

2132
01:44:08,439 --> 01:44:10,240
Speaker 1: there and throw the ball six times if you want to,

2133
01:44:10,320 --> 01:44:12,519
Speaker 1: sooner or later, somebody's gonna light you up. There's just

2134
01:44:12,640 --> 01:44:15,000
Speaker 1: not enough time to do it. It'll happen, and it'll

2135
01:44:15,080 --> 01:44:17,120
Speaker 1: be you know, teams will try and put in plays

2136
01:44:17,200 --> 01:44:20,400
Speaker 1: like that, but one defender sniffing it out and getting

2137
01:44:20,400 --> 01:44:22,200
Speaker 1: across the line of scrimmage is gonna blow it up

2138
01:44:22,320 --> 01:44:24,880
Speaker 1: and it'll go away pretty quick. And I see some

2139
01:44:25,080 --> 01:44:29,720
Speaker 1: you know, I see some chances for creativity, because then

2140
01:44:29,880 --> 01:44:34,240
Speaker 1: you stretch the field back across itself. For you throw that,

2141
01:44:34,640 --> 01:44:36,400
Speaker 1: you throw that out to the sidelines to a guy, well,

2142
01:44:36,439 --> 01:44:38,280
Speaker 1: now he could throw it back across the side, So

2143
01:44:38,280 --> 01:44:40,479
Speaker 1: you got to defend that, and you got to defend

2144
01:44:40,560 --> 01:44:42,240
Speaker 1: every corner if you think the guy can throw it

2145
01:44:42,320 --> 01:44:45,000
Speaker 1: that far, so it stretches that field even thinner. As

2146
01:44:45,040 --> 01:44:48,679
Speaker 1: we've seen that in recent years where they've got these quick,

2147
01:44:49,040 --> 01:44:51,200
Speaker 1: quick passes to the sideline right out from Underson or

2148
01:44:51,240 --> 01:44:53,160
Speaker 1: out a shotgun where the quarterback throws and whips it

2149
01:44:53,240 --> 01:44:55,679
Speaker 1: out there forces the defense to get out there fast.

2150
01:44:56,360 --> 01:44:59,080
Speaker 1: We see all that this will be one more chance

2151
01:44:59,160 --> 01:45:02,160
Speaker 1: where to fence has to be disciplined and cover every

2152
01:45:02,240 --> 01:45:04,280
Speaker 1: guy out there in every inch of grass, so it

2153
01:45:04,400 --> 01:45:07,760
Speaker 1: will spread them. But time runs out pretty quickly when

2154
01:45:07,800 --> 01:45:10,240
Speaker 1: the ball is live. A couple of more from the

2155
01:45:10,280 --> 01:45:13,120
Speaker 1: tweet sheet from Dean. I don't think they should change

2156
01:45:13,160 --> 01:45:16,759
Speaker 1: to many they should change. I don't think they should

2157
01:45:16,800 --> 01:45:19,719
Speaker 1: change many rules, but rather manage them better. For example,

2158
01:45:19,760 --> 01:45:21,680
Speaker 1: why not have two or three referees in a box.

2159
01:45:21,760 --> 01:45:23,599
Speaker 1: I'd have the ability to call down and reverse an

2160
01:45:23,600 --> 01:45:26,519
Speaker 1: obvious call, or make an obvious call that was missed.

2161
01:45:26,800 --> 01:45:28,720
Speaker 1: Why not, because there's too many. You don't need two

2162
01:45:28,800 --> 01:45:31,479
Speaker 1: or three guys in the box telling the seven or

2163
01:45:31,520 --> 01:45:33,240
Speaker 1: eight on the field that we're going to change that.

2164
01:45:33,760 --> 01:45:35,200
Speaker 1: Why don't we get a committee. Why don't we get

2165
01:45:35,240 --> 01:45:39,400
Speaker 1: like fifteen officials upstairs calling to correct the mistakes made

2166
01:45:39,400 --> 01:45:40,760
Speaker 1: by the seven or eight on the field. I don't

2167
01:45:40,760 --> 01:45:43,599
Speaker 1: know why that. I don't know why three guys would

2168
01:45:43,640 --> 01:45:46,000
Speaker 1: be different. Um, they're gonna be watching the same camera

2169
01:45:46,040 --> 01:45:47,920
Speaker 1: angles and they're gonna see the same things everybody else.

2170
01:45:48,000 --> 01:45:50,920
Speaker 1: I don't. Yeah, and Seth tweets this, and plus it'll

2171
01:45:50,920 --> 01:45:54,320
Speaker 1: be three times yea. You know they chime in, I

2172
01:45:54,400 --> 01:45:56,040
Speaker 1: saw that? You did? You saw that? Oh? You better

2173
01:45:56,080 --> 01:45:57,599
Speaker 1: stop them telling them what you say? Oh, I didn't

2174
01:45:57,600 --> 01:46:00,320
Speaker 1: see that. Yeah? Come on, come on, what are we

2175
01:46:00,600 --> 01:46:03,080
Speaker 1: what are we watching for? You want to see officials work?

2176
01:46:03,439 --> 01:46:05,080
Speaker 1: Is that what we want? I don't. I think you

2177
01:46:05,160 --> 01:46:07,880
Speaker 1: want to ignore the officials. You want them to administer

2178
01:46:08,040 --> 01:46:09,560
Speaker 1: a game. You know, you don't want them to be

2179
01:46:09,680 --> 01:46:11,559
Speaker 1: part of the game, part of the I don't get

2180
01:46:11,600 --> 01:46:14,519
Speaker 1: that from Seth on the tweet sheet. Um, what rule

2181
01:46:14,600 --> 01:46:17,040
Speaker 1: change should the NFL adopt the use of a sky judge?

2182
01:46:17,040 --> 01:46:19,519
Speaker 1: I'm open somebody tell me how you're gonna use the

2183
01:46:19,560 --> 01:46:21,240
Speaker 1: sky judge. What's it gonna be like? How are you

2184
01:46:21,280 --> 01:46:23,960
Speaker 1: gonna use it? The Alliance of American Football had them.

2185
01:46:24,120 --> 01:46:25,920
Speaker 1: Was it much of a factor in their brief schedule?

2186
01:46:25,960 --> 01:46:29,000
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't recall they had. Basically, here's

2187
01:46:29,000 --> 01:46:35,200
Speaker 1: the thing how I would envision it. There's no challenges nothing.

2188
01:46:36,320 --> 01:46:43,360
Speaker 1: Sky judge, as best as technology available, can enable to

2189
01:46:43,560 --> 01:46:47,360
Speaker 1: watch every play on the broadcast from different camera angles

2190
01:46:47,439 --> 01:46:50,360
Speaker 1: as fast as they can get it done and make

2191
01:46:51,960 --> 01:46:56,840
Speaker 1: corrections to egregious missus. You're talking about, you know, bang

2192
01:46:56,920 --> 01:46:58,840
Speaker 1: bang plays, and the problem, the whole problem with this,

2193
01:46:59,240 --> 01:47:01,960
Speaker 1: this thing that they did last year with the offensive

2194
01:47:01,960 --> 01:47:04,960
Speaker 1: pass interference defensive pass interference, because when you slow it down,

2195
01:47:05,439 --> 01:47:09,439
Speaker 1: there's interference on every single play, there's a passing play.

2196
01:47:09,520 --> 01:47:12,479
Speaker 1: Every bang bang play is past interference. The guy always

2197
01:47:12,520 --> 01:47:15,200
Speaker 1: gets there a half not even a tenth of a

2198
01:47:15,240 --> 01:47:17,360
Speaker 1: second or one hundredth of a second before the ball does.

2199
01:47:17,400 --> 01:47:20,240
Speaker 1: Technically speaking, by the letter of law, that's past interference.

2200
01:47:20,520 --> 01:47:23,840
Speaker 1: That's the can of worms they opened up. They don't

2201
01:47:23,880 --> 01:47:27,479
Speaker 1: call it because to the naked eye and live action

2202
01:47:27,720 --> 01:47:31,000
Speaker 1: you can't see it, so they don't call it. But

2203
01:47:31,080 --> 01:47:33,560
Speaker 1: when you start replaying it, it becomes obvious because you

2204
01:47:33,680 --> 01:47:37,519
Speaker 1: slow it down, and it becomes more obvious as you

2205
01:47:37,840 --> 01:47:41,160
Speaker 1: dissect it. Nobody wants that. You may say you do,

2206
01:47:41,439 --> 01:47:44,040
Speaker 1: but you don't. You don't want that. You want it

2207
01:47:44,160 --> 01:47:46,519
Speaker 1: like it is live action. It looks pretty close. Let

2208
01:47:46,600 --> 01:47:48,800
Speaker 1: it go, and that's the way it's got to be.

2209
01:47:49,760 --> 01:47:55,920
Speaker 1: And to have a guy upstairs that oversees everything and

2210
01:47:56,120 --> 01:47:58,320
Speaker 1: if there's an egregious mistake okay, let's get it. And

2211
01:47:58,360 --> 01:48:01,320
Speaker 1: then and then the gray air becomes, well, how egregious

2212
01:48:01,439 --> 01:48:05,120
Speaker 1: is egregious? And what kind of penalties are we talking about?

2213
01:48:05,439 --> 01:48:08,640
Speaker 1: And what kind of uh where is he going to

2214
01:48:08,720 --> 01:48:13,040
Speaker 1: insert himself into the into the proceedings. Every play will

2215
01:48:13,040 --> 01:48:16,400
Speaker 1: be reviewed, if with a sky judge, and it will

2216
01:48:16,439 --> 01:48:19,960
Speaker 1: be up to his personal discretion as to which ones

2217
01:48:20,000 --> 01:48:24,120
Speaker 1: you want to reverse or add on, because that should

2218
01:48:24,120 --> 01:48:26,000
Speaker 1: be that'll be part of it as well, say, hey,

2219
01:48:26,040 --> 01:48:28,479
Speaker 1: the receiver was he was lined up in the neutral zone.

2220
01:48:28,479 --> 01:48:30,120
Speaker 1: You got to bring it back, that kind of thing.

2221
01:48:30,640 --> 01:48:34,000
Speaker 1: So all of that stuff goes on the table. But

2222
01:48:34,400 --> 01:48:37,479
Speaker 1: for ninety nine point ninety nine percent of the plays,

2223
01:48:37,800 --> 01:48:39,880
Speaker 1: the guys just step there watching, making sure everything kind

2224
01:48:39,880 --> 01:48:43,080
Speaker 1: of goes smooth. And then for that one one play

2225
01:48:43,240 --> 01:48:47,439
Speaker 1: in a thousand or one play in five hundred, he says, wait, wait, wait,

2226
01:48:47,479 --> 01:48:49,400
Speaker 1: let's get this right. Here's what happened that I fix it,

2227
01:48:49,439 --> 01:48:51,360
Speaker 1: and they go to fine fix it, and that's let's move,

2228
01:48:51,720 --> 01:48:55,320
Speaker 1: you know, and hopefully it'll be that fast. I listen,

2229
01:48:55,360 --> 01:48:57,240
Speaker 1: I'd listen to your explanation, and I like it. I'd

2230
01:48:57,280 --> 01:48:58,880
Speaker 1: listen to more of that, Sky Judge. I can see

2231
01:48:58,920 --> 01:49:00,639
Speaker 1: how that might work. We're gonna take a break when

2232
01:49:00,640 --> 01:49:03,599
Speaker 1: you come back. Kyle Brandt from NFL Network from Good

2233
01:49:03,640 --> 01:49:05,840
Speaker 1: Morning Football will join us, and he has a little

2234
01:49:05,880 --> 01:49:08,680
Speaker 1: rap about that he did months ago about one of

2235
01:49:08,720 --> 01:49:11,360
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl teams. Kyle Brandt from NFL Network. When

2236
01:49:11,360 --> 01:49:13,920
Speaker 1: we returned, One Bill's Side, presented by Klaida Health from

2237
01:49:13,960 --> 01:49:16,800
Speaker 1: the Seneca Studio in Archard Park. This is Buffalo Bills Radio.

2238
01:49:29,080 --> 01:49:31,720
Speaker 1: Welcome back One Bill Side, John Murphy's team Tasker in

2239
01:49:31,800 --> 01:49:34,439
Speaker 1: our Seneca Studio in Orchard Park. You know, we get

2240
01:49:34,479 --> 01:49:36,640
Speaker 1: Kyle Brandt on this show every week. And it was

2241
01:49:36,760 --> 01:49:38,680
Speaker 1: way back in the fall, or back here before the

2242
01:49:38,720 --> 01:49:42,000
Speaker 1: season began April. I think it was August August, Okay,

2243
01:49:42,160 --> 01:49:44,920
Speaker 1: August before the season began, when Kyle Brandt had a

2244
01:49:44,960 --> 01:49:47,600
Speaker 1: prediction for the upcoming season, to prediction that included a

2245
01:49:47,760 --> 01:49:51,240
Speaker 1: rap song, and it turned out he was absolutely right.

2246
01:49:51,360 --> 01:49:53,320
Speaker 1: Take a look at what Kyle Brandt predicted would happen

2247
01:49:53,400 --> 01:49:56,120
Speaker 1: for the Super Bowl for the San Francisco forty nine ers.

2248
01:49:57,439 --> 01:50:01,439
Speaker 1: They give me a little room, all right, there we go, Mike,

2249
01:50:01,600 --> 01:50:06,360
Speaker 1: check one two, US check one two. Everybody relaxed. This

2250
01:50:06,439 --> 01:50:09,120
Speaker 1: team's gonna be awesome. Jimmy and Shanny and just playing

2251
01:50:09,120 --> 01:50:11,439
Speaker 1: a little pawsome. Look at the talent. Tell me this

2252
01:50:11,560 --> 01:50:14,599
Speaker 1: ain't scary. You start with the very best Kittleson's carried

2253
01:50:14,760 --> 01:50:18,559
Speaker 1: DeForest p wants a rams abdication. Even San Fran hippies

2254
01:50:18,600 --> 01:50:21,479
Speaker 1: love this DeForest Station. We got receivers who are young

2255
01:50:21,600 --> 01:50:24,439
Speaker 1: and fast and wiry, and a quarterback pulled out of

2256
01:50:24,520 --> 01:50:27,320
Speaker 1: red shoe diaries of the best full house that we've

2257
01:50:27,360 --> 01:50:30,240
Speaker 1: gotten from the basins. Cut it out with Dave Kooyer.

2258
01:50:30,520 --> 01:50:32,679
Speaker 1: They want to make it to Miami. I say, pen

2259
01:50:32,800 --> 01:50:34,880
Speaker 1: Denito when we get to the beach, I hope this

2260
01:50:34,960 --> 01:50:40,880
Speaker 1: man's wearing a speedo. Nice. Kyle Brand knew it. He

2261
01:50:40,960 --> 01:50:43,200
Speaker 1: called his shot back in August. Kyle Brand is with

2262
01:50:43,320 --> 01:50:45,240
Speaker 1: his life. How did you know they were gonna make it? Kyle?

2263
01:50:45,280 --> 01:50:48,759
Speaker 1: And there was it just a just a throwing something

2264
01:50:48,800 --> 01:50:52,360
Speaker 1: against the wall that Bryan pretty well, you guys have

2265
01:50:52,520 --> 01:50:55,200
Speaker 1: some wild show. It's been a hell of a fall

2266
01:50:55,280 --> 01:50:59,120
Speaker 1: with you guys. Decode a few things for anybody listening

2267
01:50:59,200 --> 01:51:03,360
Speaker 1: who didn't get to see that. The most proud line

2268
01:51:03,560 --> 01:51:06,960
Speaker 1: was about DeForest Buckner when I said, even San Fran

2269
01:51:07,080 --> 01:51:11,000
Speaker 1: hippies love this DeForest Station. And then when I said

2270
01:51:12,000 --> 01:51:14,479
Speaker 1: going to Miami Vampion Veneto, when he gets to the

2271
01:51:14,520 --> 01:51:17,240
Speaker 1: beach Hope, he's wearing a speedo. We're talking about Jimmy Garoppolo,

2272
01:51:17,280 --> 01:51:19,840
Speaker 1: who's obviously a very handsome guy and is now a

2273
01:51:19,920 --> 01:51:23,160
Speaker 1: Super Bowl quarterback. It's funny, you know, Murph, back in

2274
01:51:23,240 --> 01:51:25,559
Speaker 1: the back in August, when that was going on, there

2275
01:51:25,680 --> 01:51:28,040
Speaker 1: was a story that broke that everyone was digging into

2276
01:51:28,280 --> 01:51:32,000
Speaker 1: and developing so much fodder from, which was that the

2277
01:51:32,120 --> 01:51:34,560
Speaker 1: report from San Francisco frenan There's training camp was that

2278
01:51:34,640 --> 01:51:38,400
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo through five straight interceptions in practice against the

2279
01:51:38,479 --> 01:51:42,800
Speaker 1: number one defense. I'm talking five consecutive plays he was intercepted,

2280
01:51:43,080 --> 01:51:45,240
Speaker 1: and I'd never heard anything like that. I've never heard

2281
01:51:45,280 --> 01:51:48,280
Speaker 1: of three consecutive plays from the starting quarterbacks. So the

2282
01:51:48,400 --> 01:51:52,759
Speaker 1: sky was falling. Everybody was recrowning the Rams, not counting

2283
01:51:52,800 --> 01:51:54,880
Speaker 1: out the Seahawks and saying, you know, the Cardinals got

2284
01:51:54,920 --> 01:51:57,240
Speaker 1: a rookie quarterback, but the Niners, I don't know who knows.

2285
01:51:57,520 --> 01:52:00,040
Speaker 1: And here they are after an absolutely dominant season and

2286
01:52:00,280 --> 01:52:02,680
Speaker 1: one of the most one side and NFC title games ever.

2287
01:52:03,120 --> 01:52:04,920
Speaker 1: I wish I could say that I saw it coming,

2288
01:52:05,000 --> 01:52:06,760
Speaker 1: but I just wanted to come up with some rhymes

2289
01:52:06,760 --> 01:52:09,439
Speaker 1: about defour station and speedos and I got lucky. Then

2290
01:52:09,479 --> 01:52:12,920
Speaker 1: it came off very nice. So then the Niners did that.

2291
01:52:13,040 --> 01:52:15,760
Speaker 1: They had a great season, but they were also, to

2292
01:52:15,880 --> 01:52:19,599
Speaker 1: their credit, they were in maybe the toughest division in football,

2293
01:52:19,640 --> 01:52:22,479
Speaker 1: with the Rams and the Seahawks and the Niners themselves.

2294
01:52:22,520 --> 01:52:25,599
Speaker 1: Of course, Arizona bouncing back a little bit from being

2295
01:52:25,640 --> 01:52:27,040
Speaker 1: having the first pick in the draft, but that was

2296
01:52:27,080 --> 01:52:30,439
Speaker 1: a tough digit division to emerge from. And the Niners

2297
01:52:30,479 --> 01:52:32,719
Speaker 1: come out with the number one seed in the NFCED.

2298
01:52:32,840 --> 01:52:36,720
Speaker 1: That's pretty good. It's unfathomable. It's you know, if you

2299
01:52:36,720 --> 01:52:39,680
Speaker 1: would have gone back to the further back in the offseason,

2300
01:52:40,040 --> 01:52:42,120
Speaker 1: if you guys on your show or on social media

2301
01:52:42,160 --> 01:52:44,519
Speaker 1: or anything, if you said I liked the Niners in

2302
01:52:44,560 --> 01:52:46,920
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl this year, everyone would have laughed you

2303
01:52:47,040 --> 01:52:48,600
Speaker 1: off the internet. They would have asked you for a

2304
01:52:48,680 --> 01:52:51,160
Speaker 1: drug check. You would have sounded stupid. In fact, it

2305
01:52:51,240 --> 01:52:53,800
Speaker 1: goes a step further. We were having a conversation this

2306
01:52:53,880 --> 01:52:56,280
Speaker 1: week on our show that I don't know if you saw,

2307
01:52:56,479 --> 01:52:59,320
Speaker 1: but the second the Niners beat the Packers in the

2308
01:52:59,439 --> 01:53:02,839
Speaker 1: title game, and you saw Robert Sala the defensive coordinator,

2309
01:53:02,840 --> 01:53:04,519
Speaker 1: and he's in the locker room and he was holding

2310
01:53:04,640 --> 01:53:07,919
Speaker 1: up this T shirt that said from Mobile to Miami,

2311
01:53:08,080 --> 01:53:11,160
Speaker 1: Mobile to Miami meeting. That last year, at this time,

2312
01:53:11,200 --> 01:53:14,840
Speaker 1: the Niners coaching staff was in Mobile, Alabama, coaching the

2313
01:53:14,960 --> 01:53:17,600
Speaker 1: College All Star Game. That was their assignment, which is

2314
01:53:17,840 --> 01:53:20,040
Speaker 1: it's almost like getting sent down with the Miners. So

2315
01:53:20,479 --> 01:53:23,080
Speaker 1: in one year they went from doing that to being

2316
01:53:23,120 --> 01:53:25,680
Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl, which means try to have this

2317
01:53:25,880 --> 01:53:28,479
Speaker 1: not put your brain in the pretzel. Imagine this year

2318
01:53:28,760 --> 01:53:33,439
Speaker 1: the coaches at the Senior Bowl are the Lions coaches

2319
01:53:33,560 --> 01:53:36,120
Speaker 1: and the Bengals coaches. That's how nuts it is. The

2320
01:53:36,200 --> 01:53:38,120
Speaker 1: Niners are in the Super Bowl. Imagine a year from

2321
01:53:38,160 --> 01:53:41,000
Speaker 1: now that the Detroit Lions or Cincinnati Bengals have won

2322
01:53:41,080 --> 01:53:43,679
Speaker 1: the NFC or AFC. That's what the Niners have done.

2323
01:53:43,960 --> 01:53:47,240
Speaker 1: Cow How much credit does Jimmy Garoppolo get for the

2324
01:53:47,320 --> 01:53:50,800
Speaker 1: Niners being in the Super Bowl and either in or

2325
01:53:50,840 --> 01:53:52,479
Speaker 1: out of a speedo? I mean, how much how much

2326
01:53:52,520 --> 01:53:55,320
Speaker 1: credit should he get for? How much credit should he

2327
01:53:55,400 --> 01:53:57,439
Speaker 1: get for their success this year? You know, Mark, you're

2328
01:53:58,000 --> 01:53:59,479
Speaker 1: I know you're in the in the Hall of Fame

2329
01:53:59,560 --> 01:54:01,519
Speaker 1: for broad Casting. You've said a lot of things. I

2330
01:54:01,560 --> 01:54:03,240
Speaker 1: don't know if you've ever said in or out of

2331
01:54:03,280 --> 01:54:05,640
Speaker 1: his Speedo, and you're long blush for his career, but

2332
01:54:05,760 --> 01:54:07,200
Speaker 1: I'm so glad I could be part of it. And

2333
01:54:07,240 --> 01:54:10,040
Speaker 1: the answer to both the Speedo and the super Bowl

2334
01:54:10,520 --> 01:54:14,000
Speaker 1: is Jimmy Garoppolo deserves a ton of credits. Everyone's bowing

2335
01:54:14,040 --> 01:54:17,840
Speaker 1: and eyeing, myself included about the curious feat of winning

2336
01:54:17,880 --> 01:54:21,240
Speaker 1: the AFC Title Game only throwing eight passes. The answer

2337
01:54:21,320 --> 01:54:23,840
Speaker 1: of why did they not throw more? The answer is, really,

2338
01:54:24,360 --> 01:54:27,200
Speaker 1: why would they throw more? I imagine that someone like

2339
01:54:27,320 --> 01:54:31,439
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan, who's so brilliant offensively, must be laughing this

2340
01:54:31,640 --> 01:54:34,840
Speaker 1: week when he sees talking heads and blowhards, maybe like

2341
01:54:34,960 --> 01:54:38,240
Speaker 1: myself saying, I don't know if he trusts Jimmy Garoppolo.

2342
01:54:38,320 --> 01:54:40,920
Speaker 1: I don't know if he's protecting him. Why would he

2343
01:54:41,000 --> 01:54:43,520
Speaker 1: throw when he doesn't have to? Of course, he trusts

2344
01:54:43,600 --> 01:54:47,000
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo. Let's not have the most recency bias against

2345
01:54:47,080 --> 01:54:50,520
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo. Let's remember when he went into the Superdome

2346
01:54:50,600 --> 01:54:53,600
Speaker 1: and outplayed Drew Brees in his house and put up

2347
01:54:53,680 --> 01:54:57,480
Speaker 1: forty plus points. This idea that Garoppolo is being protected

2348
01:54:57,560 --> 01:55:00,720
Speaker 1: or doesn't have it is nonsense. And I think some

2349
01:55:00,880 --> 01:55:04,000
Speaker 1: of it is this that we are so enchanted by

2350
01:55:04,040 --> 01:55:06,800
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes and all his majesty that we're looking at

2351
01:55:06,840 --> 01:55:10,600
Speaker 1: Garoppolo as the other guy. Believe me, if Mahomes gets

2352
01:55:10,720 --> 01:55:14,360
Speaker 1: up thirteen nothing, seventeen nothing and Shanahan has to say

2353
01:55:14,400 --> 01:55:16,800
Speaker 1: screw it, Jimmy, you're gonna win for us. I think

2354
01:55:16,840 --> 01:55:18,920
Speaker 1: Garoppolo is ready for it. I really do think he's

2355
01:55:18,960 --> 01:55:20,800
Speaker 1: that good. And that's why this Niners team has the

2356
01:55:20,920 --> 01:55:23,800
Speaker 1: number one seed. They've found different ways all years to

2357
01:55:23,880 --> 01:55:25,600
Speaker 1: beat teams. He they can throw it, they can run

2358
01:55:25,640 --> 01:55:29,440
Speaker 1: a Mostart I think is really the most surprising game

2359
01:55:29,520 --> 01:55:34,320
Speaker 1: where he Mostert came from nowhere. Well actually he came

2360
01:55:34,360 --> 01:55:37,040
Speaker 1: for everywhere. He was at six teams who who kicked

2361
01:55:37,120 --> 01:55:39,240
Speaker 1: him to the curb and finally he finds it. Now

2362
01:55:39,240 --> 01:55:41,160
Speaker 1: he's in the NFC Championship game running for all those

2363
01:55:41,240 --> 01:55:43,640
Speaker 1: yards and really look really good doing it. So this

2364
01:55:43,840 --> 01:55:47,240
Speaker 1: Niners team really as opposed to the team they're facing,

2365
01:55:47,240 --> 01:55:49,400
Speaker 1: the Kansas City Chiefs, the Niners have a lot of

2366
01:55:49,440 --> 01:55:53,320
Speaker 1: ways to beat you. The Chiefs really have one way, right, Yes,

2367
01:55:53,760 --> 01:55:56,680
Speaker 1: I mean we'll see you know, the Obviously the Chiefs,

2368
01:55:56,880 --> 01:56:00,360
Speaker 1: they're overhand, right is Mahomes and whatnot. But then god,

2369
01:56:00,440 --> 01:56:02,280
Speaker 1: you know the last couple of weeks that Andy Reid

2370
01:56:02,320 --> 01:56:05,600
Speaker 1: has been switching course on it. He's running Damien Williams

2371
01:56:05,640 --> 01:56:08,720
Speaker 1: and his carries are going up. It's both of these teams,

2372
01:56:08,720 --> 01:56:11,480
Speaker 1: I think, especially the Niners, Steve. They remind me of

2373
01:56:11,600 --> 01:56:15,160
Speaker 1: some of these John Calipari Kentucky teams where they have

2374
01:56:15,720 --> 01:56:18,880
Speaker 1: eleven all Americans and they run two waves at you.

2375
01:56:19,240 --> 01:56:22,080
Speaker 1: Let's not forget if you're really paying attention to these games. Yes,

2376
01:56:22,240 --> 01:56:24,640
Speaker 1: Raheem Mostert was the star of the NFC title game,

2377
01:56:24,880 --> 01:56:28,880
Speaker 1: but just one week earlier, Tevin Coleman had over twenty

2378
01:56:29,040 --> 01:56:32,200
Speaker 1: carries against the Vikings. He was the engine for them.

2379
01:56:32,240 --> 01:56:35,000
Speaker 1: It wasn't about Moster. It was Tevin Coleman who gets hurt.

2380
01:56:35,520 --> 01:56:39,080
Speaker 1: And you know, imagine if the Vikings lost Dalvin Cook,

2381
01:56:39,200 --> 01:56:42,000
Speaker 1: or if the Titans had lost Eric Henry, they're screwed.

2382
01:56:42,360 --> 01:56:45,280
Speaker 1: Whereas Shannah had said, all right, whatever, Tevin Zalos just

2383
01:56:45,320 --> 01:56:46,680
Speaker 1: go to Raheem and if he goes out, we'll go

2384
01:56:46,720 --> 01:56:49,520
Speaker 1: to Matt Breta. They really do come at you in waves.

2385
01:56:50,520 --> 01:56:53,320
Speaker 1: I also think because of that and because of the styles,

2386
01:56:53,360 --> 01:56:55,120
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be one of the most interesting

2387
01:56:55,280 --> 01:56:57,360
Speaker 1: first quarters we've seen in the Super Bowl in a

2388
01:56:57,440 --> 01:56:59,720
Speaker 1: long time, maybe even one of the first most interesting

2389
01:56:59,760 --> 01:57:03,160
Speaker 1: five minutes because if the Niners get the ball first,

2390
01:57:03,240 --> 01:57:05,400
Speaker 1: believe me, they would love nothing more than a twelve

2391
01:57:05,480 --> 01:57:07,960
Speaker 1: minute drive ending in a one yard touchdown. If the

2392
01:57:08,040 --> 01:57:09,880
Speaker 1: Chiefs get the ball first, then they go up seven

2393
01:57:09,960 --> 01:57:12,720
Speaker 1: nothing in the first three minutes. That alters everything. There's

2394
01:57:12,760 --> 01:57:15,880
Speaker 1: so many styles here, and it almost feels like Steph

2395
01:57:16,000 --> 01:57:19,080
Speaker 1: Curry to use another NBA analogy, Like Steph Curry is

2396
01:57:19,120 --> 01:57:22,600
Speaker 1: the Chiefs, and maybe the Niners are like Ben Wallace

2397
01:57:23,040 --> 01:57:25,320
Speaker 1: or Shocked back in the day. It's really like a

2398
01:57:25,400 --> 01:57:28,000
Speaker 1: speed versus power thing. It's very fun. Can I ask

2399
01:57:28,040 --> 01:57:30,040
Speaker 1: one more Garoppolo question? Or do you think I'm weird?

2400
01:57:30,240 --> 01:57:32,720
Speaker 1: Although you just kissed his picture on the monitor? Hey, listen,

2401
01:57:32,960 --> 01:57:35,280
Speaker 1: I kissed his picture all day. It's a beautiful man, Murphy.

2402
01:57:35,480 --> 01:57:37,840
Speaker 1: All the Garoppolo questions you want, Well, here's how much

2403
01:57:38,520 --> 01:57:40,880
Speaker 1: a big picture. I guess. Did the Patriots regret letting

2404
01:57:40,960 --> 01:57:42,800
Speaker 1: him go at this point? Do you think or where

2405
01:57:42,800 --> 01:57:46,080
Speaker 1: are the Patriots? And there? Garoppolo envy is the Super

2406
01:57:46,120 --> 01:57:50,600
Speaker 1: Bowl approaches. It's a good question, Murph, and it's occurred

2407
01:57:50,640 --> 01:57:52,840
Speaker 1: to me that if you could go back in time

2408
01:57:52,920 --> 01:57:56,560
Speaker 1: and redo it, would you. I think the short answer

2409
01:57:56,720 --> 01:57:59,440
Speaker 1: is no, because since Jimmy Garoppolo's left, they've been to

2410
01:57:59,480 --> 01:58:01,520
Speaker 1: a couple of Super Bowls and they've won one, and

2411
01:58:01,840 --> 01:58:04,080
Speaker 1: who knows if they win those With Jimmy Garoppolo, Tom

2412
01:58:04,120 --> 01:58:07,960
Speaker 1: Brady was fantastic. It's also like you can't just go

2413
01:58:08,120 --> 01:58:10,480
Speaker 1: back and change time. My take on that always was

2414
01:58:11,440 --> 01:58:13,480
Speaker 1: Tom Brady knew what time it was, he knew he

2415
01:58:13,600 --> 01:58:16,840
Speaker 1: wasn't going anywhere. In my personal opinion, I don't think

2416
01:58:16,960 --> 01:58:20,440
Speaker 1: he wanted Jimmy Garoppolo around. I'm not sure Bill Belichick did,

2417
01:58:20,520 --> 01:58:23,640
Speaker 1: or maybe he bowed down to Robert Krapp. The analogy is,

2418
01:58:23,680 --> 01:58:25,800
Speaker 1: and I know, Steve, you've become something of a metaphor

2419
01:58:26,640 --> 01:58:29,920
Speaker 1: expert over this is there's an old line of thinking

2420
01:58:30,560 --> 01:58:34,960
Speaker 1: that sometimes if you don't want, shall we say, an

2421
01:58:35,000 --> 01:58:39,720
Speaker 1: attractive housekeeper or an attractive nanny, because your wife or husband,

2422
01:58:39,760 --> 01:58:41,360
Speaker 1: what have you, might think that you might have a

2423
01:58:41,400 --> 01:58:43,480
Speaker 1: wandering eye, so you want them out of here. I

2424
01:58:43,560 --> 01:58:47,440
Speaker 1: feel like Jimmy Garoppolo was the very attractive housekeeper for

2425
01:58:47,680 --> 01:58:49,920
Speaker 1: Tom Brady, and he didn't want Bill Belichick to have

2426
01:58:50,000 --> 01:58:52,120
Speaker 1: a wandering eye, so get him out of here. I'm

2427
01:58:52,240 --> 01:58:55,200
Speaker 1: the wife, I'm the husband, and it was over with. Yeah.

2428
01:58:55,240 --> 01:58:57,520
Speaker 1: I kind of agree with that. I think Bill Belichick

2429
01:58:57,800 --> 01:59:01,520
Speaker 1: did like Jimmy Garoppolo, and I think if he had

2430
01:59:01,600 --> 01:59:03,240
Speaker 1: his I've always said this, I think if he'd had

2431
01:59:03,280 --> 01:59:05,440
Speaker 1: his brothers, I think Tom Brady would be playing at

2432
01:59:05,480 --> 01:59:07,720
Speaker 1: home in San Francisco. He would have been the one

2433
01:59:07,760 --> 01:59:10,720
Speaker 1: they traded instead of Garoppolo, and they would have kind

2434
01:59:10,720 --> 01:59:13,520
Speaker 1: of made their due with him. Now, you're right. They

2435
01:59:13,560 --> 01:59:15,720
Speaker 1: went to the next three Super Bowls with Tom Brady

2436
01:59:15,760 --> 01:59:18,320
Speaker 1: and nobody's crying any tears in New England over how

2437
01:59:18,400 --> 01:59:20,600
Speaker 1: things worked out. They got a World Championship out of it,

2438
01:59:20,680 --> 01:59:23,800
Speaker 1: and just missed, well, not just missed, but didn't go

2439
01:59:23,880 --> 01:59:28,840
Speaker 1: to their fourth straight Super Bowl without him. So yeah,

2440
01:59:28,920 --> 01:59:32,720
Speaker 1: I do think though Bill Belichick knew exactly what he

2441
01:59:32,840 --> 01:59:34,880
Speaker 1: was trading to the San Francisco forty nine ers and

2442
01:59:34,920 --> 01:59:37,760
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garopolo and didn't like it. That's why they waited

2443
01:59:37,840 --> 01:59:40,200
Speaker 1: so long to get it done. They've got to be

2444
01:59:40,240 --> 01:59:42,760
Speaker 1: sitting there going what can you do? You know, you

2445
01:59:42,840 --> 01:59:45,200
Speaker 1: had You had two of them and one of them

2446
01:59:45,240 --> 01:59:47,760
Speaker 1: had to leave, and it's going to be one of

2447
01:59:47,800 --> 01:59:50,240
Speaker 1: the most interesting offseasons that the Patriots have had in

2448
01:59:50,280 --> 01:59:53,200
Speaker 1: twenty years. And you, guys, nobody knows better than people

2449
01:59:53,520 --> 01:59:56,000
Speaker 1: with the Bills organization and Bills fans is everyone's sitting

2450
01:59:56,000 --> 01:59:58,880
Speaker 1: around waiting, all right, what you're gonna do. McDaniels didn't leave.

2451
01:59:59,040 --> 02:00:02,000
Speaker 1: Everyone keeps saying Ash McDaniels is going to leave. Guys.

2452
02:00:02,200 --> 02:00:03,920
Speaker 1: It is on my own personal theory, and I don't

2453
02:00:03,960 --> 02:00:06,200
Speaker 1: base this on contacts or whatnot. I based it on

2454
02:00:06,320 --> 02:00:09,280
Speaker 1: my own intuition. My belief has always been that the

2455
02:00:09,400 --> 02:00:12,440
Speaker 1: reason Josh McDaniels decided to turn around and away from

2456
02:00:12,480 --> 02:00:15,200
Speaker 1: that Coltch job to take over for Andrew Locke, who

2457
02:00:15,240 --> 02:00:17,320
Speaker 1: everyone thought had another ten years in front of him.

2458
02:00:17,480 --> 02:00:19,680
Speaker 1: I think there was a handshake deal between he and

2459
02:00:19,800 --> 02:00:22,960
Speaker 1: mister Craft and Bill Belichick that when Belichick retires, McDaniels

2460
02:00:23,000 --> 02:00:25,280
Speaker 1: is going to take over. I still think that, and

2461
02:00:25,400 --> 02:00:27,160
Speaker 1: it's the reason you don't see him get any of

2462
02:00:27,200 --> 02:00:30,280
Speaker 1: these jobs, and he's still around. So I think McDaniels

2463
02:00:30,360 --> 02:00:32,800
Speaker 1: will take over. But for the one last run with

2464
02:00:32,920 --> 02:00:35,080
Speaker 1: Tom Brady this year in the offseason. They gotta go

2465
02:00:35,120 --> 02:00:36,760
Speaker 1: get him a bunch of players that they want him

2466
02:00:36,760 --> 02:00:38,440
Speaker 1: to stay. So I think they're gonna be active. If

2467
02:00:38,480 --> 02:00:40,960
Speaker 1: Bill's fans buckle up. We're live on the line with

2468
02:00:41,040 --> 02:00:43,560
Speaker 1: Kyle Brandt, the host of Good Morning Football on NFL Network.

2469
02:00:43,760 --> 02:00:45,160
Speaker 1: Let me get your way from the super Bowl for

2470
02:00:45,240 --> 02:00:48,840
Speaker 1: a second, Kyle, Eli Manning he probably will get in

2471
02:00:48,880 --> 02:00:50,800
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame? Does he belong in the Pro

2472
02:00:50,880 --> 02:00:54,720
Speaker 1: Football Hall of Fame? All right, here's where I come out.

2473
02:00:56,000 --> 02:00:58,520
Speaker 1: I think Eli will get in. I actually think that

2474
02:00:58,680 --> 02:01:00,960
Speaker 1: the way the process goes, in the respect everybody that

2475
02:01:01,040 --> 02:01:03,360
Speaker 1: has for Eli, he might even go in right away.

2476
02:01:03,480 --> 02:01:07,200
Speaker 1: He might. Speaking personally, if I was a voter, I

2477
02:01:07,280 --> 02:01:09,560
Speaker 1: would not vote for Eli Manning to the Hall of Fame.

2478
02:01:09,640 --> 02:01:11,360
Speaker 1: And hear me out, let me tell you why. If

2479
02:01:11,440 --> 02:01:14,400
Speaker 1: someone wants to make the case that his toughness and

2480
02:01:14,600 --> 02:01:17,640
Speaker 1: his class and his two Super Bowls, of course are

2481
02:01:17,720 --> 02:01:19,760
Speaker 1: all that you need, that's fine. I'm not going to

2482
02:01:19,880 --> 02:01:22,520
Speaker 1: lay down in traffic to fighting against Eli. But my

2483
02:01:22,720 --> 02:01:24,520
Speaker 1: take on the Hall of Fame is that what makes

2484
02:01:24,560 --> 02:01:31,320
Speaker 1: it special is exclusivity is extremely, extremely difficult to get in. Steve,

2485
02:01:31,440 --> 02:01:34,360
Speaker 1: you know something about this, all right, it's very difficult

2486
02:01:34,400 --> 02:01:37,160
Speaker 1: to get What makes it special is that not everybody

2487
02:01:37,280 --> 02:01:40,320
Speaker 1: does get in. Eli is a fantastic person and had

2488
02:01:40,320 --> 02:01:43,640
Speaker 1: a couple of fantastic playoff runs. But I think objectively,

2489
02:01:44,040 --> 02:01:46,840
Speaker 1: in his era he was not one of the best quarterbacks.

2490
02:01:46,960 --> 02:01:50,120
Speaker 1: It really isn't even close. And then the last chapter

2491
02:01:50,240 --> 02:01:52,520
Speaker 1: of his career, not even chapter. The last half of

2492
02:01:52,600 --> 02:01:56,360
Speaker 1: his career, the last seven years, Eli leads all quarterbacks

2493
02:01:56,400 --> 02:01:59,920
Speaker 1: and losses, interceptions, and turnovers. I love Eli. I feel

2494
02:02:00,120 --> 02:02:01,640
Speaker 1: in a lot of ways I grew up with Eli.

2495
02:02:01,920 --> 02:02:04,120
Speaker 1: I don't think he was one of the best players,

2496
02:02:04,320 --> 02:02:05,880
Speaker 1: and that's all I want for the Hall of Fame,

2497
02:02:05,920 --> 02:02:08,200
Speaker 1: the very best of the best. I would vote. Know,

2498
02:02:08,640 --> 02:02:11,840
Speaker 1: I got another question for you, because you're I guess

2499
02:02:11,840 --> 02:02:14,000
Speaker 1: you're old enough to remember. On Draft Day when Eli

2500
02:02:14,160 --> 02:02:16,560
Speaker 1: was picked first overall by the San Diego Chargers, they

2501
02:02:16,640 --> 02:02:22,760
Speaker 1: traded straight across for Philip Rivers. Yeah. Philip Rivers to

2502
02:02:22,920 --> 02:02:25,760
Speaker 1: me is a rubber stamp first ballot Hall of Famer.

2503
02:02:26,080 --> 02:02:28,680
Speaker 1: And what does that trade look like when both those

2504
02:02:28,720 --> 02:02:31,040
Speaker 1: guys may end up leaving the game this year, the

2505
02:02:31,120 --> 02:02:33,600
Speaker 1: same year, what does it look like when they both

2506
02:02:33,640 --> 02:02:36,480
Speaker 1: come up for Hall of Fame recognition on the same year,

2507
02:02:36,560 --> 02:02:38,400
Speaker 1: the same offseason, they were drafted on the same day,

2508
02:02:38,440 --> 02:02:42,800
Speaker 1: one pick apart, traded for each other, and Philip Rivers

2509
02:02:42,920 --> 02:02:47,360
Speaker 1: puts up huge numbers but never won anything, and Eli

2510
02:02:47,760 --> 02:02:51,200
Speaker 1: put up, well, i'll just at forsakered comparison, bad numbers

2511
02:02:51,400 --> 02:02:55,800
Speaker 1: and won two Super Bowls. That's a huge, huge conversation

2512
02:02:55,920 --> 02:02:59,280
Speaker 1: have about those two guys. It's a great comparison because

2513
02:02:59,320 --> 02:03:01,240
Speaker 1: it's kind of what I'm talking about. I think Rivers

2514
02:03:01,520 --> 02:03:03,560
Speaker 1: is a better quarterback than Eli was. I do. I

2515
02:03:03,640 --> 02:03:05,360
Speaker 1: just think he was. I think he was a better player.

2516
02:03:05,400 --> 02:03:08,240
Speaker 1: I think he performed better. Eli had two great runs.

2517
02:03:08,360 --> 02:03:11,360
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers came up short. And I hate to be

2518
02:03:11,520 --> 02:03:13,720
Speaker 1: such a negative on this, but my response to that

2519
02:03:13,760 --> 02:03:15,400
Speaker 1: would be, then neither of them get in. And I

2520
02:03:15,520 --> 02:03:17,720
Speaker 1: know that it's kind of an elitist take, but I

2521
02:03:17,880 --> 02:03:20,040
Speaker 1: do get very one percent when it comes to the

2522
02:03:20,120 --> 02:03:23,240
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame. And my bottom line take is, if

2523
02:03:23,320 --> 02:03:25,480
Speaker 1: you have to ask if someone a Hall of Famer,

2524
02:03:25,800 --> 02:03:27,880
Speaker 1: I don't think they're a Hall of Famer. There's a

2525
02:03:28,040 --> 02:03:30,000
Speaker 1: bunch of guys in the league right now which there's

2526
02:03:30,000 --> 02:03:32,320
Speaker 1: no question. You want to talk about Super Bowls. If

2527
02:03:32,360 --> 02:03:35,360
Speaker 1: you were to take away Peyton Super Bowls, Brady's Super Bowls,

2528
02:03:35,560 --> 02:03:38,280
Speaker 1: Drew Brees Super Bowl, Aaron Rodgers Super Bowl. Take them

2529
02:03:38,320 --> 02:03:40,960
Speaker 1: all away. They never want them. They're still all Hall

2530
02:03:41,040 --> 02:03:44,320
Speaker 1: of famers. They were that good. So I don't think

2531
02:03:44,400 --> 02:03:47,080
Speaker 1: Phil or Eli get in. And I know that I'm

2532
02:03:47,120 --> 02:03:49,280
Speaker 1: in the minority and that I just want the best,

2533
02:03:49,360 --> 02:03:53,000
Speaker 1: the best. But you do think that Eli will get in? Right?

2534
02:03:53,480 --> 02:03:56,560
Speaker 1: If I understand your credit, you would go and listen

2535
02:03:56,760 --> 02:03:58,800
Speaker 1: for the record. Who am I? I'm a guy with

2536
02:03:58,920 --> 02:04:02,040
Speaker 1: an opinion. I don't have a vote. I think out

2537
02:04:02,120 --> 02:04:04,440
Speaker 1: of respect for him out of the two Super Bowls,

2538
02:04:04,760 --> 02:04:07,400
Speaker 1: and I think the iron Man streak was really important too.

2539
02:04:07,560 --> 02:04:10,160
Speaker 1: And I frankly, look, let's let's put cards on the

2540
02:04:10,200 --> 02:04:12,320
Speaker 1: table here. The fact that he's NFL royalty in his

2541
02:04:12,400 --> 02:04:14,200
Speaker 1: name's Manning, and he treated the media really well for

2542
02:04:14,280 --> 02:04:16,640
Speaker 1: twenty years, which I respect. I think he will get in.

2543
02:04:16,680 --> 02:04:18,400
Speaker 1: I think he'll get in quickly. Does the fact that

2544
02:04:18,440 --> 02:04:20,600
Speaker 1: he played for the Giants matter at all? Like one

2545
02:04:20,640 --> 02:04:23,920
Speaker 1: of the flagship franchises? Does that help? I mean, it's

2546
02:04:23,960 --> 02:04:25,680
Speaker 1: it's the fact that he was in the Giants that

2547
02:04:26,440 --> 02:04:28,680
Speaker 1: is handles their business really well. And then the fact

2548
02:04:28,680 --> 02:04:31,120
Speaker 1: that he's in New York. If if Eli Manning played

2549
02:04:31,120 --> 02:04:35,320
Speaker 1: his entire career in Tampa or Denver or Carolina, it's

2550
02:04:35,320 --> 02:04:37,880
Speaker 1: a whole different deal. But you know, we had NFL

2551
02:04:37,960 --> 02:04:39,960
Speaker 1: reporter Judy Batista on our show this morning. He was

2552
02:04:39,960 --> 02:04:43,919
Speaker 1: covered him really closely and speaks from a really really informed,

2553
02:04:44,000 --> 02:04:46,320
Speaker 1: highbrowed place about it. And she just said, think about

2554
02:04:46,360 --> 02:04:48,320
Speaker 1: this and all the years that he was in New York,

2555
02:04:48,360 --> 02:04:52,280
Speaker 1: the eye of the storm, he never once embarrassed the team.

2556
02:04:52,840 --> 02:04:55,200
Speaker 1: I can't think of a single moment when he said

2557
02:04:55,280 --> 02:04:58,680
Speaker 1: something even terse or walked out of a press conference

2558
02:04:58,760 --> 02:05:00,960
Speaker 1: and like he was the face not just of the team,

2559
02:05:01,000 --> 02:05:04,120
Speaker 1: of the company. And I do think that playing in

2560
02:05:04,200 --> 02:05:06,000
Speaker 1: New York City will play a huge role in it.

2561
02:05:06,160 --> 02:05:08,240
Speaker 1: So he's got a lot of things going for him,

2562
02:05:08,280 --> 02:05:09,920
Speaker 1: don't get me wrong. And I'm not gonna be upset

2563
02:05:10,000 --> 02:05:12,320
Speaker 1: when Eli does. I think he'll get in for all

2564
02:05:12,360 --> 02:05:15,080
Speaker 1: those reasons though. All right, hey, Kyle, one more thing

2565
02:05:15,160 --> 02:05:17,680
Speaker 1: we want to ask you about Aaron Rodgers in the

2566
02:05:17,800 --> 02:05:20,440
Speaker 1: NFC Championship Game last Sunday. Is that his last shot

2567
02:05:20,520 --> 02:05:21,920
Speaker 1: at a Super Bowl or where do you think his

2568
02:05:22,040 --> 02:05:25,240
Speaker 1: career is headed? I don't think it's his last shot.

2569
02:05:25,280 --> 02:05:28,560
Speaker 1: And I'll tell you why. We see teams sometimes when

2570
02:05:28,600 --> 02:05:30,520
Speaker 1: they get to the playoffs or they get to the

2571
02:05:30,560 --> 02:05:33,320
Speaker 1: biggest stage and they doesn't work out, and you know,

2572
02:05:33,600 --> 02:05:35,560
Speaker 1: looking at this team that it's going to fall apart

2573
02:05:35,680 --> 02:05:38,720
Speaker 1: or that they're gonna have to rebuild. Perfect example, last

2574
02:05:38,800 --> 02:05:42,000
Speaker 1: year's Rams, they just gassed out in the Super Bowl.

2575
02:05:42,080 --> 02:05:44,680
Speaker 1: And when you knew that, you knew that guys like

2576
02:05:45,320 --> 02:05:48,120
Speaker 1: Marcus Peters to keep to leave and Dominicansu they were gone.

2577
02:05:48,240 --> 02:05:51,560
Speaker 1: Those guys were rentals. They're very expensive, high talent players

2578
02:05:51,640 --> 02:05:53,120
Speaker 1: that you knew were going to be gone, and sure

2579
02:05:53,240 --> 02:05:56,200
Speaker 1: enough they were, and now Sean Muffey's left to reshuffle.

2580
02:05:56,720 --> 02:05:59,320
Speaker 1: I don't really see that with the Packers. I see

2581
02:05:59,360 --> 02:06:01,720
Speaker 1: that they're a little light on talent. They have a

2582
02:06:01,800 --> 02:06:03,880
Speaker 1: great quarterback and a couple of really good pieces, but

2583
02:06:04,000 --> 02:06:07,280
Speaker 1: I don't see them falling apart in this offseason. Their

2584
02:06:07,400 --> 02:06:10,280
Speaker 1: problem with the Packers and Rogers is they're not even

2585
02:06:10,360 --> 02:06:12,600
Speaker 1: close to the Niners right now. I mean, they didn't

2586
02:06:12,680 --> 02:06:14,480
Speaker 1: just lose those two games in the night. They were

2587
02:06:14,480 --> 02:06:17,000
Speaker 1: absolutely blown off the field, and I don't think it

2588
02:06:17,080 --> 02:06:21,560
Speaker 1: was a question of motivation or even I don't know preparedness.

2589
02:06:22,040 --> 02:06:24,000
Speaker 1: They just didn't have the horses. I feel like if

2590
02:06:24,040 --> 02:06:26,200
Speaker 1: they played that Niners team ten times, they would lose

2591
02:06:26,240 --> 02:06:29,120
Speaker 1: eight or nine times. That was in the front office,

2592
02:06:29,360 --> 02:06:31,360
Speaker 1: in the weight room. They didn't have enough muscle. They

2593
02:06:31,400 --> 02:06:34,160
Speaker 1: were bullied in those games. So I think the Packers

2594
02:06:34,240 --> 02:06:35,960
Speaker 1: had to be one of the busiest teams in the

2595
02:06:36,040 --> 02:06:38,200
Speaker 1: offseason because they didn't just lose a couple times to

2596
02:06:38,280 --> 02:06:40,640
Speaker 1: the Niners, who may win the Super Bowl. They really

2597
02:06:40,720 --> 02:06:42,520
Speaker 1: didn't show up, so they got a lot of ground

2598
02:06:42,560 --> 02:06:44,120
Speaker 1: to make up. But I still think they're gonna have

2599
02:06:44,160 --> 02:06:46,160
Speaker 1: a say in this. Kyle, we got a weak Now

2600
02:06:46,280 --> 02:06:49,200
Speaker 1: to look up preseason and see what your chiefs rapper

2601
02:06:49,320 --> 02:06:51,480
Speaker 1: was all about. Did you do a Kansas City rap person?

2602
02:06:51,720 --> 02:06:55,280
Speaker 1: Did you get one of those? Ah? Yeah. Proudest preseason

2603
02:06:55,360 --> 02:06:58,240
Speaker 1: prediction was I predicted in August that the Bills would

2604
02:06:58,240 --> 02:07:00,480
Speaker 1: win the wild Card, and everybody thought I was an idiot,

2605
02:07:00,560 --> 02:07:02,480
Speaker 1: But look here we are and he was right. And

2606
02:07:02,600 --> 02:07:04,280
Speaker 1: I've been happy to talk to you guys all season

2607
02:07:04,320 --> 02:07:07,080
Speaker 1: about it. Wraps and speedos and all kinds of talk.

2608
02:07:07,360 --> 02:07:09,440
Speaker 1: That's great. Thanks Kyle, Thank you, great talking to you.

Speaker 1: better myself and come back to the fields to be

2638
02:08:42,280 --> 02:08:43,720
Speaker 1: a better flail. I mean, I'm on for so so

2639
02:08:43,880 --> 02:08:45,480
Speaker 1: I'm gonna use this weekend and try to get better

2640
02:08:45,520 --> 02:08:49,240
Speaker 1: as a football player. Mister triduvious White life from the

2641
02:08:49,320 --> 02:08:52,200
Speaker 1: field at the Pro Bowl practice. Also today, I don't reluctant.

2642
02:08:52,240 --> 02:08:55,120
Speaker 1: President CEO of the XFL. They start playing on Saturday,

2643
02:08:55,200 --> 02:08:57,960
Speaker 1: February eighth, Oliver Luck on what to expect this year

2644
02:08:58,040 --> 02:09:02,840
Speaker 1: from an XFL game, And what I saw was a

2645
02:09:03,000 --> 02:09:05,440
Speaker 1: fairly fast paced You know, we've got a twenty five

2646
02:09:05,520 --> 02:09:07,640
Speaker 1: second clock, so you know it'll be like watching a

2647
02:09:07,720 --> 02:09:10,720
Speaker 1: big twelve game, right. Teams will be will be, It'll

2648
02:09:10,760 --> 02:09:13,120
Speaker 1: be hurry up right for the virtually of the entire game.

2649
02:09:13,840 --> 02:09:16,000
Speaker 1: I saw some pretty good quarterback play. You know, we've

2650
02:09:16,000 --> 02:09:18,720
Speaker 1: been able to get I think, a better caliber of

2651
02:09:18,840 --> 02:09:21,200
Speaker 1: quarterback than spring leagues in the past, you know, most

2652
02:09:21,240 --> 02:09:23,920
Speaker 1: notably the Alliance, you know, and there's a reason all

2653
02:09:23,960 --> 02:09:25,560
Speaker 1: those guys are in our league. But I think it's

2654
02:09:25,600 --> 02:09:28,840
Speaker 1: gonna be a pretty up temple, fast paced game. Uh

2655
02:09:28,960 --> 02:09:31,240
Speaker 1: you know, I saw teams that are really is gonna

2656
02:09:31,240 --> 02:09:33,400
Speaker 1: be equal across the board. Nobody's going to be dominant.

2657
02:09:33,440 --> 02:09:35,200
Speaker 1: I think we'll have close games, you know, going into

2658
02:09:35,240 --> 02:09:37,640
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. We've got a couple of different, you know,

2659
02:09:37,720 --> 02:09:40,440
Speaker 1: little twists on the rules that we think, you know,

2660
02:09:40,520 --> 02:09:43,080
Speaker 1: make some sense and will help us play fast. But

2661
02:09:43,280 --> 02:09:45,720
Speaker 1: I think it can be a fun league. A couple

2662
02:09:45,720 --> 02:09:47,440
Speaker 1: of little twists on the rules. Some of those twists

2663
02:09:47,440 --> 02:09:50,560
Speaker 1: the object of our Twitter poll today, Steve, as we talked,

2664
02:09:50,680 --> 02:09:52,120
Speaker 1: we do this a lot. I when you think about

2665
02:09:52,160 --> 02:09:53,920
Speaker 1: I bet we do it half a dozen times a year,

2666
02:09:54,200 --> 02:09:56,680
Speaker 1: talk about the rules and ways to make the game better.

2667
02:09:56,880 --> 02:09:59,879
Speaker 1: Our Twitter poll today, which rule change should the NFL adopt?

2668
02:10:00,320 --> 02:10:04,680
Speaker 1: Should it be the XFL's overtime shootout concept? And Oliver

2669
02:10:04,760 --> 02:10:07,680
Speaker 1: explained it. He said, it's like NHL's shootout at the

2670
02:10:07,800 --> 02:10:10,560
Speaker 1: end of an NHL game. Each team gets five possessions

2671
02:10:10,640 --> 02:10:12,720
Speaker 1: from what the ten yard line? Is it? Yep? And

2672
02:10:12,840 --> 02:10:15,440
Speaker 1: they get it. They get three tries to score on that.

2673
02:10:15,680 --> 02:10:18,200
Speaker 1: You know that possession. It's a first and goal on

2674
02:10:18,240 --> 02:10:21,560
Speaker 1: the ten. Here you go. Thirty three percent of respondent's

2675
02:10:21,640 --> 02:10:25,560
Speaker 1: like that. Forty six percent say they like them. The

2676
02:10:26,040 --> 02:10:28,839
Speaker 1: replacement for the onside kick that's going in to effect

2677
02:10:28,880 --> 02:10:31,840
Speaker 1: on a trial basis Sunday in the Pro Bowl fourth

2678
02:10:31,880 --> 02:10:34,600
Speaker 1: and fifteen. You score a touchdown, you instead of trying

2679
02:10:34,600 --> 02:10:36,760
Speaker 1: an onside kick, you keep the ball, go fourth and fifteen.

2680
02:10:36,800 --> 02:10:39,360
Speaker 1: If you convert, you keep the ball. Forty six percent

2681
02:10:39,400 --> 02:10:40,520
Speaker 1: say that's the way to go. What do you think

2682
02:10:40,520 --> 02:10:43,200
Speaker 1: of that rule? I like it. I like it because

2683
02:10:43,200 --> 02:10:44,760
Speaker 1: it's a small rule change. You don't even know if

2684
02:10:44,760 --> 02:10:46,520
Speaker 1: you're gonna need an onside most games you don't need

2685
02:10:46,560 --> 02:10:48,440
Speaker 1: an onside kick, you know. I mean, you don't see

2686
02:10:48,480 --> 02:10:50,480
Speaker 1: it that often. But having that option, I think it

2687
02:10:50,560 --> 02:10:53,040
Speaker 1: adds something because the team, particularly if you are in

2688
02:10:53,120 --> 02:10:55,360
Speaker 1: a comeback mode and you do score to get yourself

2689
02:10:55,400 --> 02:10:56,880
Speaker 1: back in the game and you need an onside kick,

2690
02:10:57,200 --> 02:10:59,960
Speaker 1: you get the team. Those guys that offensive just score

2691
02:11:00,280 --> 02:11:01,720
Speaker 1: back on the field and they're hot and they got

2692
02:11:01,760 --> 02:11:03,720
Speaker 1: some momentum. It'll be fun to see if they can convert.

2693
02:11:03,880 --> 02:11:07,520
Speaker 1: Fourteen percent said they liked the XFL's twenty five second

2694
02:11:07,560 --> 02:11:10,120
Speaker 1: play cock. It should mean for a faster rate of

2695
02:11:10,160 --> 02:11:13,400
Speaker 1: play overall in the XFL. Eight percent had something else

2696
02:11:13,440 --> 02:11:15,600
Speaker 1: in mind. So that's our Twitter poll for today. The

2697
02:11:15,800 --> 02:11:18,360
Speaker 1: NFL rule changes that they should adopt. I like that

2698
02:11:18,440 --> 02:11:20,600
Speaker 1: twenty five second play clock. That's do good. Yeah, And

2699
02:11:20,680 --> 02:11:23,600
Speaker 1: plus all the skill positions on offense are hooked up

2700
02:11:23,640 --> 02:11:25,720
Speaker 1: to the coaches. They'll hear the play calls, so the

2701
02:11:25,760 --> 02:11:27,520
Speaker 1: wide receivers don't have to run all the way back

2702
02:11:27,520 --> 02:11:29,400
Speaker 1: to the huddle. And it just makes it for a smoother,

2703
02:11:29,720 --> 02:11:31,720
Speaker 1: quicker transition play to play. And we'll see if it

2704
02:11:32,000 --> 02:11:34,280
Speaker 1: helps their communication as well. Hey, we mentioned this a

2705
02:11:34,320 --> 02:11:36,640
Speaker 1: couple of times during the updates at one and two o'clock.

2706
02:11:36,720 --> 02:11:41,240
Speaker 1: But yesterday Mark Davis, the owner of the Raiders, made

2707
02:11:41,280 --> 02:11:44,480
Speaker 1: it official, making the Raiders moved to Las Vegas official.

2708
02:11:44,480 --> 02:11:47,000
Speaker 1: They're ready to open their new stadium there this fall.

2709
02:11:47,280 --> 02:11:49,040
Speaker 1: The Raiders will play in their new stadium there, and

2710
02:11:49,080 --> 02:11:51,440
Speaker 1: they had a news conference in Las Vegas yesterday to

2711
02:11:51,560 --> 02:11:55,280
Speaker 1: announce that the Raiders have relocated officially for twenty twenty

2712
02:11:55,320 --> 02:11:57,640
Speaker 1: and beyond the end of an era in Oakland for sure,

2713
02:11:58,000 --> 02:11:59,920
Speaker 1: and the beginning of a new era in Las Vegas.

2714
02:12:00,000 --> 02:12:01,720
Speaker 1: And I think that the beginning of the new era

2715
02:12:02,240 --> 02:12:04,080
Speaker 1: for the league itself. I mean, the Draft is in

2716
02:12:04,200 --> 02:12:07,080
Speaker 1: Las Vegas this April, three months await three months from today.

2717
02:12:07,320 --> 02:12:08,960
Speaker 1: That's going to be a different bird this year. The

2718
02:12:09,040 --> 02:12:11,560
Speaker 1: Draft to being in Vegas, Yeah, it is. It'll be

2719
02:12:11,680 --> 02:12:15,480
Speaker 1: quite the spectacle. And you can bet that Vegas is

2720
02:12:15,520 --> 02:12:17,640
Speaker 1: gonna do somebody. Remember we've seen some things with the

2721
02:12:17,720 --> 02:12:19,720
Speaker 1: Golden Knights and what they do pre game and stuff.

2722
02:12:19,720 --> 02:12:20,920
Speaker 1: I'm sure it's going to be a little bit of

2723
02:12:20,960 --> 02:12:25,000
Speaker 1: show biz like like it never was in Oakland. Yeah. Right,

2724
02:12:25,120 --> 02:12:28,240
Speaker 1: So the Draft will be there. It'll be interesting to

2725
02:12:28,280 --> 02:12:29,880
Speaker 1: see who shows up for that, what is going to

2726
02:12:29,960 --> 02:12:32,640
Speaker 1: be like, and how the Raiders take the field next

2727
02:12:32,720 --> 02:12:37,160
Speaker 1: year as the Las Vegas Raiders see if white shoes on,

2728
02:12:37,280 --> 02:12:40,480
Speaker 1: mister Davis, that I see white shoes and sneakers. Yeah,

2729
02:12:40,600 --> 02:12:44,080
Speaker 1: And I think it's important to mention that Oakland will

2730
02:12:44,120 --> 02:12:46,240
Speaker 1: be missed. I think as dumpy as a stadium was,

2731
02:12:46,920 --> 02:12:49,160
Speaker 1: uh it was, it was a unique venue in the NFL.

2732
02:12:49,280 --> 02:12:52,440
Speaker 1: I think Oakland will be missedy. Yeah, the city the

2733
02:12:52,760 --> 02:12:56,560
Speaker 1: fans deserve better, But you know, economics, like always, economics

2734
02:12:56,640 --> 02:12:58,440
Speaker 1: took over and here they are in Vegas, moving to

2735
02:12:58,720 --> 02:13:01,320
Speaker 1: a bigger, larger market, more lucrative market, and in a

2736
02:13:01,400 --> 02:13:04,440
Speaker 1: brand new stadium. It'll be fun to see them take

2737
02:13:04,480 --> 02:13:06,200
Speaker 1: the field in that and see how it works out

2738
02:13:06,240 --> 02:13:08,440
Speaker 1: in Vegas. They'll play there next year too. They'll play

2739
02:13:08,440 --> 02:13:10,560
Speaker 1: a game in Las Vegas. The Bills have quite the
