  Speaker 2: you and making sure that you know what you need
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: to know for the super Bowl.
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: Got some tidbits.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: Jordan and I have talked a lot about the Super
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: Bowl this week over on our show on one O
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: three ninety eight three FM in the mornings from seven
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: to ten am. But we're gonna bring it here to
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: this very show, The Sean O'Connell Show. So I'm gonna
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: welcome in James Peterson over there in the producer's booth,
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: who's hanging out with us this morning as well, and
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: talk a little bit about this Super Bowl matchup and whatnot. James,
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: I personally think that this game isn't going to be
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: as close as people believe it to be. Everybody wants
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: the Super Bowl to be a very close football game.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: I just have a feeling that the Seattle Seahawks are
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: a much better football team than the New England Patriots.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: And I think Seattle's going to run away and hide
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: in this one.
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: Do you really, because I I think mostly it's what
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: you're talking about. It's wishful thinking everybody predicting a close game.
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: But I think it's also just that, even though this
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: is a completely new era of the Patriots, the Patriots
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: always play close Super Bowls, right true. I think the
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: largest margin of victory for them or slash the beat
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: for them was ten points when they beat the Rams
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: the last Super Bowl they were in. But of course
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: this is a whole different team, so we can't expect
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: it to be the same. But yeah, that's that's interesting
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: because I actually, I actually think we're and I as
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: a as a certified Patriots hater, I hate saying this.
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: I'm wearing my Peyton Manning jersey uh today if you're
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: If you're not sure I'm a Patriots hater, I've got
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: the got the Peyte Peyton Manning Colts jersey on. I
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: think that we're I think that for underestimating the Patriots
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: a little bit too much in this game, even though
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: there's every reason to believe the Seahawks are the favorites
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: should be the favorites. Yeah, and and as you said,
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: would not blame anyone for thinking the Seahawks are gonna
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: blow them out. Something tells me that the Patriots might
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: just pull off an upset here, and I'm gonna hate it.
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: Although I'm I don't like the Seahawks either, so I
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: don't I'm not I don't really care who wins.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: See, I'm kind of in the same boat as you.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: I don't really care who wins this Super Bowl. I
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: don't have a dog in the fight. I'm a Falcons
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: fan of all the time. So maybe some people think
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: that I'm a Patriots hater because of obvious reasons here,
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: but overall, I really don't care who wins this. I
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: actually like Mike Vrabel. I think he's a phenomenal head coach.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: I think that he's got what it takes. If there's
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: gonna be somebody that's gonna keep it close in a
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: Super Bowl, Mike Vrabel could be the guy to do
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: so with that team. I just think overall, the Seahawks
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: are a better football team. It all depends on who
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: manages this the best, because the super Bowl's a little
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: bit different now. Is listening to the Rich Eisen Show
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: the other day and he was talking with a couple
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: of different people who have been to Super Bowls before
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: who brought up a good point in all of this.
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: The super Bowl is different from.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: Every other NFL game that every one of these players
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: will ever play in their lifetimes.
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: It's different in the way.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: That the all of the theatrical stuff around the Super
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: Bowl really starts to get in the way in terms
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: of distractions for these guys. And one thing that each
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: one of those players came through and told Rich Isen
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: throughout this week was specifically, managing your energy while you're
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: standing around doing absolutely nothing after you've warmed up absolutely nothing.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: So whoever can manage their emotions and not get too high,
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: not get too low actually has a really good chance
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: to win this game. And in that part alone, I
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: think that Rabel, with the experience he brings to the
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: Super Bowl, has an opportunity to maybe even out the
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: playing field here. That's the only way that I think,
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: because overall, I think Seattle top to bottom in any
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: normal football game that's not the super Bowl.
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: It's going to take it to New England.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: If they come out and they're flat and they're out
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: of energy and they're just tired and they look confused
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: in the super Bowl, I think it's because they're not
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: exactly sure or don't have a lot of guys that
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: have been there before that know how.
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: To manage that specific aspect of the Super Bowl.
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: James, I think that's fair, and that's one of the
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: reasons why I'm I'm thinking that the Pats are being under.
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: Underappreciated in this game. I guess.
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: I also I just think Drake May is a better
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: quarterback than Sam Donald. Okay, I know that that's not
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: I know that that's wrong to say right now, because
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: all we want to talk about, how is what a
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: great story Sam Donald is, and he is. It is
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: a great story, and it is not. It is not
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: a knock on Sam Donald.
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: I don't.
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: I was not with the people who after a fourteen
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: wins season with the Vikings and then he struggled in
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: the playoff game. I was not with everyone that said, oh, well,
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: that's why Sam Donald's just never been very good and
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: never will be very good. Like I thought that was
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: a little ridiculous, So I'm not doing that now. I'm
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: just guy finished second in MVP in over four thousand yards.
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: He's more I think he has more just talent than
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: Sam Donald has.
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: Always.
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: The only thing he doesn't have is the experience that
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: Sam has gained, which has been a big reason why
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: Sam is has had this resurgence. Right, So I think
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: that I think that the Pats have a slight advantage
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: at quarterback. I think they definitely have the coaching advantage.
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: But again, not a knock on Mike McDonald because he's
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: been awesome too. I also think that one of the
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: reasons why we're underestimating New England maybe is because their
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: offense hasn't looked good. But they've also had to play
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: in three bad weather games. Yeah, that's playing in the
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: Northeast and and and that snowstorm in Denver. This one
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: is the first time they're gonna have perfect weather conditions
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: because it's it's it's not inside, but say in San
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: Francisco on the west coast. There, I think the offense
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: is gonna show up a lot more than than it has.
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: So I I want I've wanted to pick the Seahawks
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: in this game, but I'm leaning New England, probably because
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: I'm like, I don't think that people are giving him
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: enough credit, as much as that pains me to.
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: Say, yeah, and that's fair and that's fair.
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: The one thing that worries me, I kind of agree
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: with you everything that you just said on Drake May's
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: phenomenal quarterback. The one thing that worries me is this
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: news story that kind that felt like it came out
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: of nowhere about this dude's right throwing shoulder.
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the injury, yep, the injury that is he's had
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: two weeks. Though he has had two weeks.
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: I have a feeling that they might be downplaying this
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: a little bit more.
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: I just have that feeling.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: The Seattle pass rush, if they get after him, all
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: it takes is one or two hits to rattle him.
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: Maybe it, you know, he starts to fill that shoulder
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: a little bit. I think that that injury is being
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: downplayed just a little bit more than what we're being
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: told here.
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: Now, he's gonna be able to go.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: It sounds like he's he's been cleared to practice and
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: whatnot throughout the week and whatnot. But yes, that's the
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: one thing that I would worry the most about when
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: it comes to Drake May is that specific shoulder injury. Okay, now,
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: joining us here in the beautiful studio of ESPN seven
• 9:12

  Speaker 2: when you came in halfway through and made all that noise,
• 10:34

  Speaker 3: That is a bucket list place to go.
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: I haven't either, but it's a spot where look, it
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: is the party tournament of golf. Like, if you want
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: to go down there and party and be able to
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: heckle some golfers, that's the Waste Management's the place to go.
• 11:28
  Speaker 5: You're yeah, okay, if you're that type of golfer, I
• 11:31
  Speaker 5: could do that.

  Speaker 2: or get there at five am to get a spot
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: around the whole.
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: That's the place to go.
• 11:39
  Speaker 5: The anti Augusta, you would say, yes, okay.
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: If you were the exact opposite of Augusta, you could.
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: You could say it's the PGA Tour's answer to live
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: in Maxi, except they've been doing it Maxi shout out
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: to Happy Gilmore too.
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there you go.

  Speaker 4: tour has been in been in existence, but it's the
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: it's a nice, a really nice change of pace from
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: the stuffy we're golfers and we can't be we can't
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: have fun kind of experience of the rest of the tour.
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: If that's how you feel about golf, it's a much
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: different thing. It's happy Gilmour style.
• 12:17
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it's the animal house to the Augusta Niedermeyer. There
• 12:21
  Speaker 5: will be no fun of any kind exactly.
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: That's a very good reference, one that I actually understand
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: because you use it often.
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: That's the only reason why.
• 12:30

  Speaker 3: That is there you go? Yeah, there you go.
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: So that's our lineup for today on The Sean O'Connell
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: Show this morning. I always want to remind you The
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: Shaan O'Connell Show is now brought to you proudly by
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: Big Willie Sports Bar in Salt Lake. From craft food
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: to craft cocktails, they are the sports Bar. Check them
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: out today seventeen seventeen South Main Street, George. We were
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: just barely discussing the Super Bowl what our thoughts were meaning,
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: James before you popped in, So I'm gonna rehash it
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: for you a little bit. We've talked about this on
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: our show this morning. Over on one O three nine
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: and ninety eight three FM, I said that I think
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: it's going to be a Seahawks runaway and hide type
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: of event. Unfortunately I was in the space. But even
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: before I've stayed true to this. As you know, on
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: my prediction for the Super Bowl, whoever was coming out
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: of the NFC was going to win the Super Bowl.
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: So enjoy the NFC championship. That's what I said three
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: weeks ago, four weeks ago. Team that comes out of
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: the NFC is gonna win the Super Bowl, so enjoy.
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: Even if it was the Broncos that got in, I
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: thought the NFC was gonna win the Super Bowl and
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: it wasn't gonna be close. So your thoughts on this matchup,
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: because you might differ a little bit than me in
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: terms of what you think is gonna happen this weekend.
• 15:28
  Speaker 5: I do like the Seahawks. I do think it'll be closer.
• 15:31
  Speaker 5: I think if the Seahawks win by more than a score,
• 15:35
  Speaker 5: it'll be like ten points. But that being said, I
• 15:39
  Speaker 5: just that Patriot. I worry about that Patriots offense is
• 15:43
  Speaker 5: number one. They didn't play and we never talked about
• 15:46
  Speaker 5: this NFL wise, but their strength of schedule during the
• 15:49
  Speaker 5: regular season just wasn't They didn't play anybody. Then they
• 15:53
  Speaker 5: played a bad Houston not a bad Houston team, but
• 15:56
  Speaker 5: not a great Houston team. They really good defense though,
• 16:00
  Speaker 5: really good that's true, great defense with Houston. But then
• 16:03
  Speaker 5: they played Denver in a blizzard and with a backup quarterback.
• 16:08
  Speaker 5: And it's still so I like, I like for Abel,
• 16:12
  Speaker 5: and I think it will be closer. But I am
• 16:14
  Speaker 5: definitely taking the Seahawks. I think the Patriots I won't
• 16:17
  Speaker 5: be shocked if they win. I think if they can
• 16:19
  Speaker 5: force Donald into some bad throws, that's the recipe, yeah,
• 16:22
  Speaker 5: is it makes Sam Donald turn the ball over. That
• 16:24
  Speaker 5: means said, I don't know that the Seahawks will turn
• 16:27
  Speaker 5: him loose all that much because they're going to run
• 16:29
  Speaker 5: the football.
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: So it's gonna be interesting.
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: Here's another thing that's really important to point out here,
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: because we talked about on our show Matthew Stafford winning
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: the MVP.
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: Yes, Drake may was right behind him.
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: What was the biggest difference between those two Not necessarily
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: their fault in the MVP conversation, That's not what I'm
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: trying to bring up here. The biggest difference that we
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: brought up on our show was the amount of times
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: each quarterback was sacked this year. Matthew Stafford was only
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: sacked twenty four to twenty five times. Drake may and
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: the Patriot, it's he got sacked forty plus times this year. Jordan,
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: you can't win a Super Bowl if you're gonna allow
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: a defensive line and a defensive front to get after
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: your quarterback over and over and over again. And I
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: think that Seattle's defensive front is just better than New
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: England's offensive line. They're gonna get after Drake Maye. The
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: shoulder worries me a lot. All of a sudden, that
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: came out of hoe. Oh, he can't practice for a
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: couple days because he's got a shoulder injury and it's
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: on his throwing arm. One or two hits, that thing
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: gets tucked underneath and it's over.
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: And that's what I'm worried about.
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: The Seahawks getting pressure on Drake Mayhem, trying to scramble
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: get away from it, or not seeing it coming in
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: the first place and getting tagged, and all of a sudden,
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: that shoulder becomes a big issue.
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: That's true.
• 17:45
  Speaker 5: I think conversely, making get outside the pocket and run.
• 17:49
  Speaker 5: Is that that's where Seattle has to contain him because
• 17:52
  Speaker 5: he will pick up a ton of yards on the
• 17:54
  Speaker 5: ground just and that you know, he's not it's not
• 17:56
  Speaker 5: like he's Michael Vick.
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: He's he's just picking up first down.
• 18:01
  Speaker 5: I think Drank Mays like Michael Vick. You think that's
• 18:03
  Speaker 5: a pretty good comp there. It's he's sneak. He really
• 18:06
  Speaker 5: is sneaky, fat. Like you watch him run and you're like,
• 18:09
  Speaker 5: this is the slowest man alive and he's beaten dB.
• 18:13
  Speaker 5: It's like, it's pretty remarkable. Actually, So I think the
• 18:17
  Speaker 5: Patriots that is an advantage.
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: I'm with you.
• 18:20
  Speaker 5: Now the Seahawks they have an issue too. Darnold has
• 18:25
  Speaker 5: no bleak issue. And normally I would because this is
• 18:29
  Speaker 5: even going back three weeks, two weeks, normally I'd go,
• 18:32
  Speaker 5: he's fine. You know it's been two weeks, three weeks O.
• 18:36
  Speaker 5: Bleaks don't just go away. Those last a long time.
• 18:40
  Speaker 5: So that is the one thing I would worry about
• 18:42
  Speaker 5: with him. That being said, these guys they're gonna be
• 18:47
  Speaker 5: They're gonna it's the super Bowl adrenaline. I wonder how
• 18:50
  Speaker 5: much injuries really come into play. That's a real qun't
• 18:54
  Speaker 5: I you know, just because man, if you're gonna play
• 18:57
  Speaker 5: through something and play well, this is the game, they'll
• 18:59
  Speaker 5: do it.
• 19:00
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: We were talking a little bit about the festivities around
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: the super Bowl as well and how well these teams
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: can manage emotions. I was watching the Rich Aison Show
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: throughout the week and he had a lot of guys
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: on throughout the week that also talked about just being
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: able to conserve your energy because the national anthem is
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: eight years long and everything else that happens. You're warmed up,
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: ready to go, and all of a sudden you're standing
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: around doing nothing. And one thing we discussed this morning
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: was Mike Vrabel's ability because he's had that experience to
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: share that with his team, say hey, conserve your.
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: Energy because you're gonna need it.
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: There's gonna be a lot of hurrying up to stand
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: around and wait. So that's gonna be something I think
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: if they could manage well, it probably brings that gap
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: a little bit closer for the Patriots.
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: I agree.
• 19:44
  Speaker 5: I don't think you can understate that. I think that's
• 19:47
  Speaker 5: a huge part of it that people overlook. It's pregame,
• 19:50
  Speaker 5: but it's also halftime. Remember halftime in the NFL's twelve
• 19:53
  Speaker 5: and a half minutes. You go in and you're out
• 19:56
  Speaker 5: and right back out. It's thirty minutes for the super Bowl.
• 20:00
  Speaker 5: And that was one thing I'm trying to remember. I
• 20:02
  Speaker 5: think it was Kyle Shanahan the first time he went
• 20:04
  Speaker 5: to a super Bowl with the forty nine ers, he
• 20:06
  Speaker 5: called people like Bill Belichick to ask him just how
• 20:09
  Speaker 5: you know, And that's one thing they said. They said,
• 20:12
  Speaker 5: you got to plan for halftime.
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: Differently, did they also tell him to be ready for
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: when the lights turn off? They said yeah.
• 20:17
  Speaker 5: They said Also in New Orleans, the power isn't super reliable,
• 20:20
  Speaker 5: so get the generator going. But that is that's a
• 20:23
  Speaker 5: real I mean, players are not used to that. Just
• 20:26
  Speaker 5: sitting around that's hard to do. Get yourself up and
• 20:29
  Speaker 5: get going again. So yeah, and we talked about it earlier.
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: McDaniel.
• 20:35
  Speaker 5: He's coached in ten super Bowls, So I do think
• 20:38
  Speaker 5: that's an advantage for the Patriots with Brabel and that staff.
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's going to be a big part of this
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: going into it and what happens with each one of
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: these teams. Also, we talked about the Tom Brady situation,
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: said he doesn't have a dog in the fight. Yeah,
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: he's a part owner of the Las Vegas Raiders, but
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: come on, you played for the Patriots for a long time.
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: Kubiak obviously going to become the next head coach in
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: Las Vegas. I don't think he wants to make him mad,
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: but come on, give us a stance, Tom Brady, don't
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: be a whos I.
• 21:09
  Speaker 5: Aact like a human being. It's like a robot out there.
• 21:13
  Speaker 5: I'm just looking. I just hope everybody has a good time.
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: I'm just serious. I'll get fine.
• 21:16
  Speaker 5: Yeah, seriously, all you have to say if you're Brady
• 21:18
  Speaker 5: is you know, obviously I'm a big Kubiak fan, so
• 21:22
  Speaker 5: I want him to do well. But I'm a Patriot,
• 21:25
  Speaker 5: you know, I've always been a It's not that hard.
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: I think there's a little behind the scenes beef between
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: him and mister Bob Kraft.
• 21:31
  Speaker 5: I thought he and Kraft had a good relationship. I
• 21:34
  Speaker 5: thought Belichick and him had the beef. I think so,
• 21:36
  Speaker 5: I thought so. I think it's an organization specifically, I
• 21:39
  Speaker 5: think Belichick.
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 21:41
  Speaker 5: I thought it was mostly just him and Belichick, but
• 21:44
  Speaker 5: who knows, I don't know.
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: Maybe there's not some backdoor you know, behind the scenes
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: back and forth between Bob Craft.
• 21:51
  Speaker 5: Is let's get him both like a gift gift card
• 21:55
  Speaker 5: to a nice spa.
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: Nice I want a celebrity boxing matches.
• 22:01
  Speaker 5: You want to watch a poor old man die on
• 22:03
  Speaker 5: life television, That's what's gonna happen. You watched it with
• 22:06
  Speaker 5: some of these Jake Palfin, Yeah, that's true. That's a
• 22:08
  Speaker 5: great point. Uh see that beautiful square job. Tom Brady's
• 22:13
  Speaker 5: get hit by by Robert Kraft.
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: He's got some weight behind that. He does have some
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: weight behind that punch. Now I forgot where we were.
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: I know where you were going with that.
• 22:24
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I was saying to a nice, reputable spa, not
• 22:27
  Speaker 5: some backdoor place in Florida that Robert Kraft frequented. No,
• 22:32
  Speaker 5: I'm talking. I'm talking a nice place Bryce, and they
• 22:36
  Speaker 5: can make amends. Is that what show? Yeah, you spend
• 22:37
  Speaker 5: the day in the in the steam room and you
• 22:40
  Speaker 5: just you talk it out, all right, get some some
• 22:44
  Speaker 5: cucumber water.
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: I'm sure all right.
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: Super Bowl Sunday pregame coverage, as we mentioned, begins at
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: ten am right here on the SPN seven hundred and
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: ninety two one FM. Kickoff's gonna be at four thirty
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: pm here on Utah's number one sports stock. And that
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: all comes your way Sundays you get ready for the
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: big game. Jordan, Uh, what do you normally do on
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: Super Bowl Sunday afternoon? What's what's the move for the party?
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: You got something special going on? Or you're gonna be
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: alone in your room. I gotta be alone in my
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: room with the curtains, tron nice and dark, got the
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: TV on.
• 23:19
  Speaker 5: That's my threat to the family and friends that come over.
• 23:21
  Speaker 5: I say, if you guys don't shut the hell up
• 23:24
  Speaker 5: and let me watch the football game, I'm going up.
• 23:26
  Speaker 5: I'm going up to my room and I'm shutting the door.
• 23:29
  Speaker 5: That's what bothers. Maybe I should save this for the grievances.
• 23:32
  Speaker 5: That drives me nuts is when like, because you and
• 23:35
  Speaker 5: I this is our job, Like we do have to
• 23:36
  Speaker 5: pay attention to the game.
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and everyone got to hear the commentary and everything.
• 23:40
  Speaker 5: Yeah, like we have to talk talk about it the
• 23:42
  Speaker 5: next day and sound semi intelligent. And I got, you know,
• 23:46
  Speaker 5: Aunt Judith next to me, yapp and and I know
• 23:50
  Speaker 5: I need to hear the I gotta focus on the
• 23:53
  Speaker 5: game here and it's just I, yeah, talking about her Yorky.
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: And then when the commercials come on, which, by the way,
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: the mamercials have been terrible for the last five years
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: in a row.
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm very good ten years.
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: Even when the commercials come on, all of a sudden,
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: they're telling me the shush, like, no, this is my
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: time to talk.
• 24:08
  Speaker 6: I don't.
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: This is commercials. Definitely, No, there's no talk.
• 24:12
  Speaker 5: You can't talk. Bring commercials early game. It's a full experience.
• 24:15
  Speaker 5: Third quarter, yeah, you can talk.
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: My suggestion we saw this last year with college football
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: at some theaters have decided to start putting college football
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: games in theaters. Great idea by you know, for me,
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: I'll go watch a college football game in the theater.
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: Put the super Bowl in a movie theater. Everybody's quiet,
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: everybody's hanging out. I know, you want your food and everything.
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: Maybe you can figure that out. Maybe there's a deal
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: you can make with the movie theater. Bring some food in.
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: But a movie theater would be perfect for a Super
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: Bowl experience if you want to be locked in from
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: start to finish.
• 24:45
  Speaker 5: Oh, absolutely, that would be a boy for the NFL
• 24:47
  Speaker 5: will never do it because the money, you know, because
• 24:51
  Speaker 5: they've watched. I mean, you'd have to charge a lot
• 24:53
  Speaker 5: of money for the NFL to do that. I think so, Yeah,
• 24:54
  Speaker 5: I think so. How much do you think it would
• 24:56
  Speaker 5: cost a movie theater to pick up the Super Bowl?
• 24:58
  Speaker 6: Oh?
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: My gosh, I don't much.
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: Does it costs? Like bars in places? It can't cost
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: them that much to play it?
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: Right, I don't know.
• 25:04
  Speaker 5: It's called big willies. They would they would know we
• 25:07
  Speaker 5: got a contact.
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: It's just on NBC. So they just throw it up
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: there or do they have to buy the bar?
• 25:11
  Speaker 5: I think they have to buy if you're showing it
• 25:14
  Speaker 5: on more than one TV in public.
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: Hey, if you're someone I want to know because the fights,
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: like UFC fights, there's one thing for us for pay
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: per view, but bars and places that show with a
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: ton of people have to pay a lot more money
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: to get like a pay per view fight.
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Is it the same to get the rights to show.
• 25:33
  Speaker 5: A Super Bowl that's on national television.
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: That's on national television and not a pay per view
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: behind the paywall type of deal?
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah? I don't know.
• 25:40
  Speaker 5: Have you ever watched a huge game in a bar
• 25:43
  Speaker 5: or a restaurant? I think that you were really invested
• 25:45
  Speaker 5: in because I never have. If I'm invested in a game,
• 25:50
  Speaker 5: I always watch it at home.
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, no I haven't.
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: Actually, yeah, that might be the way I can yell
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: and scream and not look like a fool.
• 25:56
  Speaker 5: Well, yeah, the you may fit right in, depending on
• 26:00
  Speaker 5: what bar you're at, that's true.
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I no, I like.
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: Well, going back to our earlier conversation that we just
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: had about the long dark Jury Highway, I have watched
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: some games that I've been invested in out.
• 26:11
  Speaker 5: There, I'll tell you what that's. That's not bad though,
• 26:14
  Speaker 5: because I was down.
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: In yelling too.
• 26:16
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I was down in mesquite like two weeks ago.
• 26:19
  Speaker 5: And if you place a bet any it doesn't matter
• 26:21
  Speaker 5: how much you get your own comfortable leather seat with
• 26:25
  Speaker 5: the table and all that and the huge screen. It's
• 26:27
  Speaker 5: that's a good deal.
• 26:28
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: How much?
• 26:29
  Speaker 5: How much are those bays going for, like in Vegas
• 26:33
  Speaker 5: this weekend? That's what I want to know.
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: That's a good question because for the NCAA tournament, they
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: charge a pretty penny at specifically Circa. At the Circa
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: they have that nice double decker sports book, beautiful sports book.
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: You have to reserve those seats and they're nice seats.
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: If to reserve those, they are not cheap. My friend,
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: one hundred dollars a seat for the for the day,
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: for the day.
• 26:57
  Speaker 5: Yeah, so you're not just you know what, for the
• 26:59
  Speaker 5: NCUABLEA tournament though, I might do it that. That's a
• 27:02
  Speaker 5: pretty that'd be fun.
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: It's a good time. That's what it's packed. Yeah, you
• 27:05
  Speaker 3: got to reserve those.
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: Here's what I would recommend to all those out there
• 27:08

  Speaker 2: Welcome in, Paul, Pugmyer stands by to talk a little golf. Paul,
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: it's been a minute since we last spoke.
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: How are you doing?
• 29:12
  Speaker 6: Doing great? And I got to talk to you man.
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: It's always great to have you on and have a
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: great conversation about one of my favorite sports. The waste Management.
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: Phoenix Open is one of the greatest, in my opinion,
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: events of the golf year, and I just love watching
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: this tournament. What are your thoughts on the Waste Management
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: Phoenix Open. To open it up a little bit here
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: and give us your thoughts on this tournament as opposed
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: to the traditions of other tournaments.
• 29:37
  Speaker 6: Well, I love it. I like you. I think it's
• 29:41
  Speaker 6: a terrific thing. I love how accessible it is to
• 29:45
  Speaker 6: people by virtue of the just unreal amount of space
• 29:50
  Speaker 6: they have at the facility. This was a golf course
• 29:55
  Speaker 6: that was designed for the purpose of having a huge attendance,
• 29:59
  Speaker 6: and they pulled that off. They've got tons of parking,
• 30:03
  Speaker 6: the access is easy. Everything about it is designed to
• 30:07
  Speaker 6: be a party that lasts for a week, and that's
• 30:10
  Speaker 6: exactly what they do. This is a little bit personal
• 30:14
  Speaker 6: to me. I view this as my PGA tournament because
• 30:18
  Speaker 6: I was living in Phoenix when they when they opened
• 30:21
  Speaker 6: and developed the TPC Scottsdale and the waste what is
• 30:27
  Speaker 6: now the Waste Management the Phoenix Open moved from an
• 30:29
  Speaker 6: old school downtown course up to Scottsdale to where it
• 30:32
  Speaker 6: is now and so I watched it develop. I've been
• 30:35
  Speaker 6: to it a lot, and it is fun. It is
• 30:38
  Speaker 6: a rocket ride. Having said all that, I think it's
• 30:43
  Speaker 6: really good that it is unique. I don't think the
• 30:47
  Speaker 6: rest of the tours should try to be waste management.
• 30:50
  Speaker 6: They're not. I think they should be what they are
• 30:52
  Speaker 6: and honor their traditions. But I'm really glad that this
• 30:56
  Speaker 6: event is on the calendar and I'm and I'm really
• 31:00
  Speaker 6: glad that it is what it is.
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: So for those that aren't familiar, the sixteenth hole, that's
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: the party hole, right, That's the one where it's the
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: part three you can go and watch it. It's the stadium, seating, everything.
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: How early does someone need to get there in order
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: to get a seat at the sixteenth hole, because this
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: is like a coveted hole that everybody wants to go
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: watch it.
• 31:20
  Speaker 6: Yeah, there's two answers to the question, and the first
• 31:23
  Speaker 6: of all some context. It has really developed over the years.
• 31:27
  Speaker 6: The most famous shot hit at sixteen, of course, is
• 31:30
  Speaker 6: when Tiger Woods made the hole in one and then
• 31:32
  Speaker 6: he did the raise the roof thing with it pump
• 31:34
  Speaker 6: in his hands. And when you look at the background
• 31:39
  Speaker 6: on that video, don't focus on Tiger folks. On the background,
• 31:41
  Speaker 6: you'll see that there wasn't much infrastructure. There was some
• 31:44
  Speaker 6: bleachers and people standing on the mounds that were built
• 31:48
  Speaker 6: for fans to stand on. Now they have a three
• 31:52
  Speaker 6: story stadium that made its temporary. They've got to take
• 31:58
  Speaker 6: it down each year in order to meet the requirements
• 32:02
  Speaker 6: of the fact that the land is in a flood zone.
• 32:05
  Speaker 6: And so they three story building that circles the entire
• 32:12
  Speaker 6: hole one hundred and sixty yard par three and there's
• 32:17
  Speaker 6: ten thousand people there. Now. The two answers to your question.
• 32:21
  Speaker 6: One is there's a lot of pre sold seating, a
• 32:25
  Speaker 6: lot of corporate sponsor seating, a lot of group seating
• 32:29
  Speaker 6: that's quite expensive and that they sell out. In order
• 32:32
  Speaker 6: to get one of the general one of the GA seats,
• 32:35
  Speaker 6: one of the seats that anybody can get to, you'd
• 32:38
  Speaker 6: better be waiting in line by five o'clock in the
• 32:41
  Speaker 6: morning when the gates open at seven, and you'd better
• 32:44
  Speaker 6: be able to run, not walk, to get yourself out
• 32:48
  Speaker 6: to sixteen to get one of those Seatsy.
• 32:51
  Speaker 5: Paul, I'm curious, how does this course play as far
• 32:54
  Speaker 5: as the surface compared to other courses. You're in the desert.
• 32:58
  Speaker 5: What's the difference down there?
• 33:00
  Speaker 6: Oh, the course can run firm and fast, and I've
• 33:03
  Speaker 6: played it a lot. This is kind of a fun thing.
• 33:05
  Speaker 6: Back in the day when they first opened, they had
• 33:07
  Speaker 6: a promotion where you could play that course if you
• 33:10
  Speaker 6: had an Arizona driver's license. They'd let you play it
• 33:13
  Speaker 6: for twelve fifty So I played a lot. Let me
• 33:17
  Speaker 6: tell you, those days are gone, but it was fun
• 33:21
  Speaker 6: while it lasted. So the course is a really terrific design.
• 33:25
  Speaker 6: It's a Tom wise Cough design, the same great Tom
• 33:28
  Speaker 6: wise Cough who designed Black Desert down in Saint George
• 33:32
  Speaker 6: as his final project before he succumbed to cancer. Sadly,
• 33:36
  Speaker 6: but Tom Wisecough designed this course, and it is a
• 33:42
  Speaker 6: course that can bake out. They totally can, and it
• 33:46
  Speaker 6: can get really firm, really fast, and it can run
• 33:49
  Speaker 6: out from underneath in a hurry, and that's its strongest defense.
• 33:54
  Speaker 6: It's not a really difficult driving course. The green complex
• 34:00
  Speaker 6: is are really good and which is a hallmark of
• 34:03
  Speaker 6: a Wiscough design, and in particular the three holes in
• 34:08
  Speaker 6: a row that make up the real meat of the
• 34:12
  Speaker 6: golf course. And that's fifteen, sixteen, and seventeen. We've already
• 34:16
  Speaker 6: talked about sixteen the Stadium Part three, with a tough,
• 34:20
  Speaker 6: tough green complex. When that pin is on the left,
• 34:23
  Speaker 6: if you try to go for the pin and tug
• 34:26
  Speaker 6: it ever so slightly, that runoff down on the left
• 34:29
  Speaker 6: side is so hard to get up and down from.
• 34:32
  Speaker 6: And that's the design. It's made that way on purpose.
• 34:35
  Speaker 6: At fifteen a gettable par five, but with an island green,
• 34:40
  Speaker 6: and so you know, take your chance and see how
• 34:43
  Speaker 6: it works out. Buddy. You can make a birdie there,
• 34:47
  Speaker 6: you can make a seven, both of them really quickly.
• 34:50
  Speaker 6: And then seventeen is one of the great great holes
• 34:53
  Speaker 6: in the game of golf. It is a Tom Weiscough
• 34:58
  Speaker 6: signature hole, which is to say, a driveable a gettable
• 35:02
  Speaker 6: par four with a lot of risk reward on it,
• 35:06
  Speaker 6: and the combination of water left and front left of
• 35:10
  Speaker 6: the green and then the runoff into a collectionery on
• 35:14
  Speaker 6: the right of the green, and then the shape of
• 35:16
  Speaker 6: the green and the crown to the green. Yeah, these
• 35:20
  Speaker 6: guys can. They can get the ball there in one,
• 35:23
  Speaker 6: but the window is like two steps wide, and if
• 35:26
  Speaker 6: you miss it, you might not make four. And so
• 35:30
  Speaker 6: coming down Sunday night, Sunday afternoon, I'm back nine. You're
• 35:33
  Speaker 6: in contention. What club do you pull on seventeen? It's
• 35:37
  Speaker 6: a gut check and it's fun to watch.
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: Paul Pugmyer is our guest right here on ESPN seven
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: hundred and ninety two one FM and the Sean O'Connell Show. Paul,
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: let's talk a little bit about the leaderboard currently Adki
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: Batsuyama in the pole position at the moment eleven under.
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: What have you thought about his game to this point
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: and how he's been able to play this weekend?
• 36:01
  Speaker 6: Well, first of all, some context here. This is the
• 36:04
  Speaker 6: courses for horses situation. He deci has already won twice
• 36:08
  Speaker 6: on this golf course. He's won this tournament twice. He
• 36:11
  Speaker 6: won it back to back in sixteen and seventeen, and
• 36:14
  Speaker 6: so we know he can play here. In addition, he's
• 36:18
  Speaker 6: had high finishes here as well. You know, it's not
• 36:21
  Speaker 6: quite the same situation as Tiger at Tory and at
• 36:25
  Speaker 6: bay Hill, I mean good Land. Tiger had a Hall
• 36:27
  Speaker 6: of Fame career on just those two courses. He won
• 36:30
  Speaker 6: fifteen tournaments between over the years on just those two
• 36:35
  Speaker 6: those two tournaments, and then in addition to that, on
• 36:37
  Speaker 6: Tory he won a major, He won the US Open.
• 36:40
  Speaker 6: So it's not quite to that level, but it is
• 36:44
  Speaker 6: significant that he DECI Mantsiyama has won on this course
• 36:47
  Speaker 6: twice already, and so to see him out there tearing
• 36:50
  Speaker 6: it up, nobody is surprised, least of which a dec.
• 36:54
  Speaker 6: He goes into this tournament knowing I've got this course.
• 37:00
  Speaker 6: He also is a player who he can really bounce
• 37:05
  Speaker 6: back from poor starts, from poor finishes and then come
• 37:08
  Speaker 6: on gangbusters quick. Not uncommon over Hidki's career to see
• 37:12
  Speaker 6: miss a couple of cuts and then win. So he's
• 37:15
  Speaker 6: that kind of player as well. No surprise to see
• 37:18
  Speaker 6: him at the top of the leaderboard and by three
• 37:20
  Speaker 6: for crying.
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: Out loud, Yeah, no doubt about it. You mentioned that
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: Chris got her up behind him at eight under. He's
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: going to te off coming up at twelve fifty five pm.
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: Akshay Batya is at seven under. Those are the top
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: three out of these guys that are on the leaderboard
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: chasing Matsuyama. Who do you think has the best chance
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: to hunt him down and be able to pass him
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: over the weekend.
• 37:42
  Speaker 6: Well, first of all, for all the reasons I just said,
• 37:44
  Speaker 6: they're going to have to go get h Deki, He's
• 37:46
  Speaker 6: not going to come back to him. But the one
• 37:49
  Speaker 6: I am really intrigued with got her up and I'm
• 37:54
  Speaker 6: glad for a chance to talk to him. Talk about
• 37:56
  Speaker 6: him for a minute. This is a guy who is
• 37:59
  Speaker 6: a former NCAA Player of the Year and he's one
• 38:05
  Speaker 6: of these transfer portal guys. He had a great career
• 38:09
  Speaker 6: at Rutgers and then for his senior year he went
• 38:11
  Speaker 6: to Oklahoma State and they won a national championship. But
• 38:16
  Speaker 6: this is an upcoming next star on the PG tour.
• 38:23
  Speaker 6: He's got a ton of speed, he really hits it hard,
• 38:27
  Speaker 6: beautiful soft hands with his wedges, and he can get
• 38:31
  Speaker 6: the Petter hot. This is a name to remember and
• 38:33
  Speaker 6: a player to watch. So if somebody can go chase
• 38:36
  Speaker 6: him down, it's Chris godder Up.
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: Give us your thoughts on how Tony's playing, because I'm
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: looking at it here T ninety one right now too
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: over go off later on this afternoon. A little bit
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: of a slow start, not playing up to what we
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: would love to see him play at.
• 38:53
  Speaker 3: What are your thoughts on how Tony's played so far
• 38:54
  Speaker 3: this weekend?
• 38:56
  Speaker 6: Yeah, Tony also has a real strong record on this
• 39:01
  Speaker 6: golf course. Tony was in a playoff the year that
• 39:03
  Speaker 6: Webb Simpson won it, and Simpson just got stupid at
• 39:07
  Speaker 6: the end to beat Tony. He finished birdie, birdie, birdie,
• 39:10
  Speaker 6: and then in the playoff went Bertie birdie. He made
• 39:12
  Speaker 6: five birdies in a row to beat Tony ultimately in
• 39:16
  Speaker 6: a playoff, And so Tony has a good history on
• 39:21
  Speaker 6: this course. He has had a bit of a scraping
• 39:25
  Speaker 6: start to the year. He's made one cut, he's missed
• 39:29
  Speaker 6: another cut, he hasn't played great. Had a good round
• 39:32
  Speaker 6: at the MX to climb up the leader board and
• 39:36
  Speaker 6: I think he snuck a back door top ten out
• 39:39
  Speaker 6: of that, so that's really great. But Tony has to me,
• 39:44
  Speaker 6: he looks like he has not fully got back into
• 39:48
  Speaker 6: form from his foot surgery. And I hope I'm wrong.
• 39:54
  Speaker 6: I hope he's just totally healthy, but just doesn't quite
• 39:59
  Speaker 6: look yet. He'll but he is tony fore now pardon me.
• 40:06
  Speaker 6: He'll find a way. He has shown that time and
• 40:09
  Speaker 6: time again that he'll find a way.
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: All right, Hey, Paul, once again, appreciate you jumping on
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: with us here. What's coming up on Utah off Radio
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: tomorrow morning.
• 40:20
  Speaker 6: We're gonna kick off our Jet x jug contest. This
• 40:23
  Speaker 6: is the backdoor fantasy game we play on Utah Golf Radio.
• 40:26
  Speaker 6: It's exclusive to us, and the Jet x JUG is
• 40:30
  Speaker 6: where it's a fantasy game where you're trying to identify
• 40:33
  Speaker 6: the players who will barely make the playoffs, not the
• 40:36
  Speaker 6: top guys. You're trying to identify the bubble boys. And
• 40:40
  Speaker 6: so you get a point in the game for every
• 40:43
  Speaker 6: position you finish up until the guys who don't make
• 40:46
  Speaker 6: the playoffs, and so number seventy is a cutoff and
• 40:49
  Speaker 6: starting at number seventy one you get no points. And
• 40:52
  Speaker 6: it's a year long play for us. We have a
• 40:54
  Speaker 6: lot of people play it and we're kicking that off
• 40:58
  Speaker 6: on the show tomorrow with friend of the show, Rob
• 41:01
  Speaker 6: Bolton from pgatour dot com. He runs the fantasy pages
• 41:04
  Speaker 6: for the PGA Tour and he's a big fan of
• 41:07
  Speaker 6: the jet X and so Rob's gonna join us. We'll
• 41:10
  Speaker 6: kick off the jet X jug. It'll be a lot
• 41:12
  Speaker 6: of fun.
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: That's my favorite game to play. I play every year,
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: DIBs on all the South African golfers.
• 41:17
  Speaker 3: That's my go to.
• 41:19
  Speaker 6: Okay, I love that approach. Good luck. I'd love to
• 41:23
  Speaker 6: give you a jug at the end of the year.
• 41:25
  Speaker 3: All right, we'll see how it goes. One other thing
• 41:28
  Speaker 3: just came to my mind.
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: Utah Tech just had a freshman golfer win a tournament
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: for the first time ever. How big of a win
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: is that, a freshman golfer stepping in and winning a
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: big time tournament.
• 41:37
  Speaker 6: Yeah, a couple of things. David Lichty and he will
• 41:40
  Speaker 6: be on the show tomorrow as well. So it's no
• 41:43
  Speaker 6: surprise that Lickti won. Lichty is a quality player and
• 41:47
  Speaker 6: he's got a terrific resume already at a very young age.
• 41:52
  Speaker 6: But this is the very first individual win that Utah
• 41:56
  Speaker 6: Tech has had since they became d one. What four
• 42:00
  Speaker 6: or five years ago, whatever, It is so very very
• 42:03
  Speaker 6: significant in terms of the art of the program. It
• 42:05
  Speaker 6: matters that they now have an individual winner. And it's
• 42:08
  Speaker 6: no surprise that David Lichti. We're going to be talking
• 42:11
  Speaker 6: to him on the show tomorrow as well.
• 42:12
  Speaker 3: That's really awesome.
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: Congratulations Sam, Hey, thank you again, Paul, thanks for jumping
• 42:16
  Speaker 2: on with us.
• 42:17
  Speaker 6: So funn Thank you guys.
• 42:19
  Speaker 3: That is Paul.
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: Pugmeyer and the Waste Management Phoenix Open continues throughout the
• 42:23
  Speaker 2: weekend this weekend, a lot of fun stuff happening down
• 42:27
  Speaker 2: in Phoenix. As we mentioned, Hideki Matsuyama currently eight under
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: through the round and eleven under in total as he
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: starts off round number two.
• 42:38
  Speaker 3: He's doing pretty good so far.
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: Everybody's chasing after Matsuyama, the twenty twenty one Masters winner,
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: so it'll be interesting to see if he can continue
• 42:47
  Speaker 2: to run away from the rest of the field. As always,
• 42:50
  Speaker 2: the PGA Tour Leader Up Leaderboard Updates brought to you
• 42:53

  Speaker 5: like ten hours of pregame.
• 44:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and then I.
• 44:16
  Speaker 5: Grew up and I said, just let me watch the
• 44:20
  Speaker 5: football game. I swear to strangle somebody if I have
• 44:24
  Speaker 5: to see another celebrity on the field while the players
• 44:27
  Speaker 5: and coaches are sitting around with their hands in their pockets,
• 44:29

  Speaker 2: We're having a fun competitions, you know, sports betting, YadA, YadA, YadA.
• 44:42
  Speaker 2: We're having a friendly competition, friendly wager, you could say
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: between the two of us about the over under on
• 44:49
  Speaker 2: Collinsworth references to Patrick Mahomes. That's right, Yes, this is fun.
• 44:54
  Speaker 2: We've said it at three and a half, three and
• 44:57
  Speaker 2: a half, I took the over. And I'm talking about
• 45:00
  Speaker 2: anytime Patrick Mahomes is brought up, not just like even
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: if it's a graphic and he mentions Patrick Mahomes in
• 45:07
  Speaker 2: the graph, Oh there's my best friend, Patrick Mahomes.
• 45:10
  Speaker 3: Even that counts as a reference to to Patrick Mahomes.
• 45:13
  Speaker 2: He is going to compare Donald and Drake may No
• 45:18
  Speaker 2: to Patrick Mahomes at least two times.
• 45:21
  Speaker 3: Throughout this, So that gives me two. Right there, throw
• 45:24
  Speaker 3: the graphic up. That's a third. I just need one
• 45:26
  Speaker 3: more from Collinsworth on the Patrick Mahomes reference.
• 45:29
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, Mike, he's not Patrick Mahomes, but would
• 45:31
  Speaker 5: a thrown by Sam Donald.
• 45:33
  Speaker 3: Oh, here's a guy. He's not Patrick Mahomes.
• 45:35
  Speaker 5: But three is. Here's here's why I took the under
• 45:39
  Speaker 5: is Collinsworth is acutely aware that everyone's making fun of
• 45:43
  Speaker 5: him for this and this way he will consciously realize
• 45:48
  Speaker 5: that because I'm telling you it he does during regular
• 45:51
  Speaker 5: season games, during the super Bowl, he's gonna I think
• 45:56
  Speaker 5: he's gonna get nervous about going over the top with it.
• 45:59
  Speaker 5: That's why I think he's going to do it at
• 46:01
  Speaker 5: least three three times. But I don't think he'll go
• 46:03
  Speaker 5: over that. All Right, that's a that's a great but
• 46:06
  Speaker 5: that's great, a great prop bet.
• 46:08
  Speaker 3: Yes, that should be off should be offered.
• 46:10
  Speaker 2: It should be offered, but I don't know if it's
• 46:12
  Speaker 2: going to be it's offered in Bryson Banucci's.
• 46:14
  Speaker 5: Right, collins can make a lot of cash off that.
• 46:16
  Speaker 3: If we're offered.
• 46:17
  Speaker 2: If you want to join us in our escapade of
• 46:19
  Speaker 2: the Collinsworth over and under three and a half, or
• 46:22
  Speaker 2: are you hitting it on the Patrick Mahomes reference on
• 46:25
  Speaker 2: the text in line at eight seven seven three five
• 46:27
  Speaker 2: three zero seven hundred.
• 46:28
  Speaker 3: I'd love to know I got one. Are we going
• 46:30
  Speaker 3: to see? Okay?
• 46:30
  Speaker 5: Have you noticed that during the Sunday Night games? Because
• 46:33
  Speaker 5: NBC is getting Baseball this coming year, they get a
• 46:36
  Speaker 5: cool drone and everything.
• 46:37
  Speaker 2: They get the Super Bowl, they've got NBA Basketball. Now,
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: they've got Sunday Night.
• 46:41
  Speaker 5: Basis, Sunday Night Baseball, they have the Olympics.
• 46:43
  Speaker 3: They have it all. Okay, they have Er is not
• 46:47
  Speaker 3: on the air anymore. They don't have ER anymore.
• 46:50
  Speaker 5: Every Sunday Night football game so far since they've gotten Baseball.
• 46:53
  Speaker 5: No World Cup either.
• 46:54
  Speaker 3: That's that Fox. That's Fox. Okay.
• 46:58
  Speaker 5: They do a drone shop of the big league stadium
• 47:01
  Speaker 5: that's in that city. So they were at New England
• 47:03
  Speaker 5: the other night. Okay, they did a drone shot of
• 47:06
  Speaker 5: Fenway and then they did a drone shot of Wrigley
• 47:08
  Speaker 5: when they had the Bears game. Will they do a
• 47:10
  Speaker 5: drone shot of Oracle in Santa during the Super Bowl?
• 47:14
  Speaker 2: Ah See, that's a good one because it's the Super
• 47:17
  Speaker 2: Bowl exactly can't do that, but then maybe they.
• 47:19
  Speaker 4: Will do it.
• 47:19
  Speaker 5: I think they'll do it because that's they want that
• 47:21
  Speaker 5: promo right for Sunday Night Baseball at the super Bowl. Yeah, okay,
• 47:26
  Speaker 5: something something to think about.
• 47:27
  Speaker 2: Good stuff, all right? Do you think the Super Bowl's
• 47:30
  Speaker 2: going to break records in terms of viewership numbers?
• 47:33
  Speaker 5: If I had to lean one way, I think it
• 47:34
  Speaker 5: will just because Nilsen this real inside baseball for people
• 47:39
  Speaker 5: that care about TV ratings. Nielsen is counting more people.
• 47:41
  Speaker 5: They're counting quote unquote out of home viewers now, so
• 47:44
  Speaker 5: you see everything's breaking records. Part of that is because
• 47:47
  Speaker 5: they're counting more people. So I think so if it
• 47:51
  Speaker 5: were if it weren't the Patriots and the Seahawks, if
• 47:55
  Speaker 5: the Chiefs were in this game, or the Bears or something,
• 47:58
  Speaker 5: it would absolutely break break it. But I wonder what
• 48:01
  Speaker 5: the interest is the Patriots and the Seahawks.
• 48:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, two coastal teams, So maybe that brings in a
• 48:06
  Speaker 2: little bit more eyeballs on each side. We'll find out.
• 48:09
  Speaker 2: We will find out. That's your super Bowl look ahead.
• 48:12
  Speaker 2: We will also do that with Lindsay Roads from Sumer
• 48:15
  Speaker 2: Sports coming up in just a couple of minutes before
• 48:18
  Speaker 2: we do so, Jordan, I do want to transition over
• 48:20
  Speaker 2: to college basketball here in the state of Utah. I
• 48:22
  Speaker 2: know the utes, the running Utah Extenson not playing up
• 48:25
  Speaker 2: to par, not hoping what we were going to see
• 48:28
  Speaker 2: in terms of a big time step forward does look like,
• 48:33
  Speaker 2: you know, they're working things out on that side of things.
• 48:36
  Speaker 2: There are some other teams around the state of Utah
• 48:38
  Speaker 2: that are playing some good basketball, be who I use
• 48:40
  Speaker 2: not currently one of those teams.
• 48:43
  Speaker 3: They don't play defense.
• 48:45
  Speaker 2: And I've said this on Bryce and Bitnucci, the Rots,
• 48:49
  Speaker 2: the rest of them. They're not stepping up and helping
• 48:51
  Speaker 2: out when they come off the bench. Give up ninety
• 48:54
  Speaker 2: nine on the road to Oklahoma State and scored ninety two,
• 49:00
  Speaker 2: score ninety two. You don't you don't win that game.
• 49:03
  Speaker 2: Some disappointment reigning supreme down in Provo.
• 49:06
  Speaker 5: Maybe, Oh, absolutely, they they can turn it around because
• 49:11
  Speaker 5: that we've seen flashes and more more than just flashes.
• 49:14
  Speaker 5: You know, they gave youyukonn a run. They've beat they've
• 49:17
  Speaker 5: bet some good teams. But if this continues and they don't,
• 49:21
  Speaker 5: they they go out, let's say, in the second round
• 49:23
  Speaker 5: of the tournament. It will be a massive disappointment and
• 49:26
  Speaker 5: whether that's I think that's fair based on the money
• 49:29
  Speaker 5: they've spent, the talent they've brought in, and Kevin Youngsen grew.
• 49:33
  Speaker 5: He's a very good coach. Obviously, huge disappointment they're running
• 49:38
  Speaker 5: at that. What do you have a month?
• 49:41
  Speaker 3: Get?
• 49:41
  Speaker 5: You got a month to gel? And that's what b
• 49:44
  Speaker 5: way you did last year is we in January we
• 49:46
  Speaker 5: were like this, this isn't a very good basketball team.
• 49:49
  Speaker 5: And then they jailed in March and they looked really good.
• 49:52
  Speaker 5: But you're gonna, yeah, you're gonna need some guys not
• 49:54
  Speaker 5: named Saunders, Debonza or right to to step up and
• 49:59
  Speaker 5: no doing it right now?
• 50:00
  Speaker 2: All right, on a side note as part of that, Actually,
• 50:03
  Speaker 2: the bigger story that's come out of that game specifically
• 50:07
  Speaker 2: is a lot of back and forth between BYU fans
• 50:09
  Speaker 2: and Oklahoma State fans. The reports initially were the chants
• 50:13
  Speaker 2: that were coming out of that the f the Mormon
• 50:15
  Speaker 2: chance coming out of Oklahoma State. We've got a controversy here, Jordan,
• 50:19
  Speaker 2: because Oklahoma State fans are saying they were not yelling,
• 50:22
  Speaker 2: that they were yelling refs a Mormon like because he
• 50:26
  Speaker 2: was at the free throw line.
• 50:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the students were saying the referee was a Mormon.
• 50:32
  Speaker 3: I don't know. It's hard for me to tell.
• 50:34
  Speaker 2: I wasn't there in person, Washington on TV, you kind
• 50:37
  Speaker 2: of get attuned to that chant and you're like, okay,
• 50:40
  Speaker 2: there it is because all you hear is mostly the
• 50:42
  Speaker 2: back portion. They're very straight, like they're standing on business
• 50:47
  Speaker 2: Oklahoma State fans and they did not chant that Brett
• 50:51
  Speaker 2: Yormanck has a mess to figure out here.
• 50:53
  Speaker 5: Jordan, Yeah, good luck with that. Uh, if it was
• 50:57
  Speaker 5: if it was ref more Mormon, right, that mormonere that's
• 51:03
  Speaker 5: pretty clos That's not bad. It's not a ten, but
• 51:06
  Speaker 5: it's not like a four three or a four. It's
• 51:09
  Speaker 5: not terrible. I'll give them credit for that. Okay, I don't.
• 51:14
  Speaker 5: We're breaking down audio, like what are we doing. We're like,
• 51:18
  Speaker 5: that's where I want to give them the benefit of
• 51:20
  Speaker 5: the doubt here because no other school. And if I'll
• 51:24
  Speaker 5: say this, if they were chanting f the Mormon and
• 51:27
  Speaker 5: someone came up with a what if we just tell
• 51:28
  Speaker 5: them no, we were saying their geniuses and they should
• 51:32
  Speaker 5: be applauded for that. That type of that deception.
• 51:36
  Speaker 4: So my thought along those lines. Is now if if
• 51:41
  Speaker 4: if we say, hey, we actually asked to hey, welly
• 51:46
  Speaker 4: kind of kind of say, knowing that you can kind
• 51:49
  Speaker 4: of maybe hear refs instead of F at the beginning
• 51:53
  Speaker 4: of that chant, So is does this become the next
• 51:59
  Speaker 4: let's go bring for anti VYU chants, which I think
• 52:03
  Speaker 4: is also a bad thing. Right, It essentially means the
• 52:07
  Speaker 4: same thing that Mormon is ref Mormon instead of f
• 52:12
  Speaker 4: the Mormons, refs A Mormon is now gonna be against
• 52:16
  Speaker 4: every road game BUYU plays. It's gonna be ref some Mormon.
• 52:19
  Speaker 4: The way let's go Brandon became code for something else interesting,
• 52:24
  Speaker 4: which I also think is a bad thing. So let's like,
• 52:28
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 52:28
  Speaker 3: So you're saying, either way, don't chant it is that
• 52:32
  Speaker 3: what the stance are taking my stances either way.
• 52:37
  Speaker 4: In this case, if they are, if they really did
• 52:39
  Speaker 4: chant ref some Mormon, Okay, that's not the deal. The
• 52:44
  Speaker 4: big a deal to that BYU fans and people around
• 52:47
  Speaker 4: here thought it was right. But it could become something
• 52:51
  Speaker 4: that oh, we'll just say F the Mormons and code now,
• 52:55
  Speaker 4: which is also a bad thing. So I don't know,
• 52:58
  Speaker 4: I don't know how much good actually out of this right.
• 53:01
  Speaker 2: Well, that's the situation the Big twelve finds themselves in.
• 53:04
  Speaker 2: I'm glad I'm not Brett, you or Mark right now?
• 53:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I figure all this out? Ye, no idea? What
• 53:08
  Speaker 3: you do? We'll keep you up to date on that
• 53:11
  Speaker 3: and more.
• 53:12
  Speaker 2: It is twelve, So we got to hit a break
• 53:13
  Speaker 2: and get out to Lindsay Roads, a summer sports NFL analyst.

  Speaker 2: welcome in, Lindsey Rhoads from Sumer Sports.
• 54:57
  Speaker 3: Lindsey. Appreciate your time this morning.
• 54:59
  Speaker 7: How you doing, Hey, I'm doing great. Thanks for having me,
• 55:03
  Speaker 7: no problem.
• 55:04
  Speaker 3: Let's talk some Super Bowl.
• 55:06
  Speaker 2: What do you think the biggest Like we've talked a
• 55:08
  Speaker 2: little bit about this here and kind of broken it
• 55:11
  Speaker 2: down as much as we could all week long. I
• 55:13
  Speaker 2: think the Seattle Seahawks are going to run away and
• 55:15
  Speaker 2: hide in the Super Bowl. I don't know that it's
• 55:16
  Speaker 2: going to be super competitive. I hope it is, but
• 55:19
  Speaker 2: tell me, maybe for those out there hoping for a
• 55:21
  Speaker 2: competitive game, tell me why I might be wrong there
• 55:24
  Speaker 2: it's going to be a little bit more competitive. Well,
• 55:27
  Speaker 2: I think.
• 55:27
  Speaker 7: I mean, so you're saying that the Seahawks win big.
• 55:31
  Speaker 3: Yes, that's what I believe.
• 55:32
  Speaker 7: Okay, Yeah, I think if it is lopsided, that's the
• 55:36
  Speaker 7: direction in which it's lopsided. That's my guess. I think
• 55:39
  Speaker 7: it's probably more likely that the Seahawks win in a
• 55:41
  Speaker 7: closer game, and I think if the Patriots win, it
• 55:45
  Speaker 7: will be low scoring and close. I think the Seahawks
• 55:49
  Speaker 7: defense is so good, and I mean the Patriots we've
• 55:53
  Speaker 7: seen kind of They've had a murderer's row of defenses
• 55:55
  Speaker 7: that they needed to go through to get here. I mean,
• 55:57
  Speaker 7: you have to face the Texans and the Broncos Seahawks
• 56:00
  Speaker 7: in succession, and by the way, before that, the Chargers,
• 56:03
  Speaker 7: who are also very good on the defensive side of
• 56:05
  Speaker 7: the ball. It's just been wild. I think that what
• 56:07
  Speaker 7: we've seen from them on offense is probably going to
• 56:09
  Speaker 7: be somewhat similar to what we see in the Super Bowl.
• 56:12
  Speaker 7: I think I'm a little bit worried. And one of
• 56:15
  Speaker 7: the things that I'll be keeping my eye on is
• 56:17
  Speaker 7: the Seahawks are able to get pressure without blitzing very frequently.
• 56:21
  Speaker 7: They've lifted a low rate and get pressure at a
• 56:23
  Speaker 7: high rate, and I am curious about how Drake May
• 56:27
  Speaker 7: will handle that, because if there is a weakness in
• 56:29
  Speaker 7: his games, I think it is his ability to handle
• 56:32
  Speaker 7: that pressure. Sack avoidance is something that he needs to
• 56:34
  Speaker 7: work on. And by the way, that was the story
• 56:36
  Speaker 7: with Caleb Williams two years ago, and then he got
• 56:40
  Speaker 7: much better in that specific area this year. There have
• 56:43
  Speaker 7: been two games in the postseason so far where Drake
• 56:47
  Speaker 7: May has had zuo pressure to escape attempt, meaning that
• 56:51
  Speaker 7: their pressure came, and very often he did tucket and
• 56:54
  Speaker 7: run and he can scramble and he's very athletic, and
• 56:57
  Speaker 7: so that's the strength of his game. He takes too
• 56:58
  Speaker 7: many sacks in those situations. What you'd like to see
• 57:01
  Speaker 7: is the number of Okay, I'm going to evade the rush,
• 57:05
  Speaker 7: flush out of the pocket, but keep my eyes up
• 57:08
  Speaker 7: and look to throw and take a few more shots
• 57:10
  Speaker 7: downfield because that's the most efficient way to get the
• 57:12
  Speaker 7: ball downfield. That's the area he needs to get better
• 57:15
  Speaker 7: at in the future. Even though he's my vote for MVP.
• 57:18
  Speaker 7: I think he had an incredible season, But if the
• 57:22
  Speaker 7: Patriots are going to win, I think it's probably going
• 57:25
  Speaker 7: to be something that Brabel cooks up on defense that
• 57:28
  Speaker 7: causes problems for the Seahawks offense, and specifically, I think
• 57:32
  Speaker 7: that we're probably going to need to see him force
• 57:34
  Speaker 7: Sam Donald into a couple of mistakes in order to
• 57:37
  Speaker 7: get a win. And by the way, I want to
• 57:38
  Speaker 7: be very clear, I am not saying that Sam Donald
• 57:41
  Speaker 7: will turn back into the Sam Donald that saw ghosts,
• 57:44
  Speaker 7: because I've heard that a lot this week. It sounds
• 57:46
  Speaker 7: like people are expecting, like the carriage to turn back
• 57:49
  Speaker 7: into a pumpkin and are waiting for the clock to
• 57:51
  Speaker 7: strike midnight or something. I don't think that's where we are.
• 57:53
  Speaker 7: He's developed. He he's a different quarterback than he once was.
• 57:57
  Speaker 7: All quarterbacks can make mistakes. A good defense bas them
• 58:01
  Speaker 7: into it. We saw that with Josh Allen in the postseason.
• 58:03
  Speaker 7: We've seen it with Drake May in the postseason as well.
• 58:05
  Speaker 7: But I think that that's the path to the Patriots
• 58:07
  Speaker 7: winning if they are able.
• 58:10
  Speaker 6: To do so.
• 58:11
  Speaker 5: Linda who has the edge as far as coaching goes,
• 58:14
  Speaker 5: because Brabel's been there before as a player. We were
• 58:16
  Speaker 5: talking to McDaniel's coach and I think ten Super bowls
• 58:19
  Speaker 5: is does New England have that advantage as far as
• 58:22
  Speaker 5: their staff goes?
• 58:24
  Speaker 7: Well, I mean they have an insane staff right Like McDaniels.
• 58:28
  Speaker 7: Is so interesting to me because I don't like him
• 58:29
  Speaker 7: as a head coach. I just think, and not just
• 58:33
  Speaker 7: because he hasn't done well. There are things about him
• 58:35
  Speaker 7: that I don't think actually make for a good head
• 58:37
  Speaker 7: coach personally. And I think it's a very different job
• 58:40
  Speaker 7: to be a head coach than it is to be
• 58:41
  Speaker 7: a coordinator. And I think we've learned time and time
• 58:43
  Speaker 7: again he's an incredibly good coordinator, and people sort of
• 58:46
  Speaker 7: make the mistake of saying, Okay, you've proven it again,
• 58:49
  Speaker 7: let's make you a head coach again. But I love
• 58:51
  Speaker 7: him in this role. He's been incredible for Drake May,
• 58:55
  Speaker 7: and the offense and putting them in the best possible positions.
• 58:58
  Speaker 7: And then Brabil obviously, I think the thing about Brabel
• 59:00
  Speaker 7: that goes underrated is his skill in game management situations,
• 59:05
  Speaker 7: and that is one of the ways that people who
• 59:07
  Speaker 7: are good coordinators and become head coaches oftentimes just struggle
• 59:11
  Speaker 7: with that. It's timing, it's understanding when to call a timeout,
• 59:14
  Speaker 7: what situations are worth calling timeouts for, and when you shouldn't.
• 59:19
  Speaker 7: I mean, we saw that play, was it the eightety
• 59:21
  Speaker 7: championship game where Drake May takes off and slides and
• 59:25
  Speaker 7: by the way he was looked like he had his
• 59:27
  Speaker 7: eye on the clock and did at the exact perfect time,
• 59:30
  Speaker 7: which tells me about his game management skills. But then
• 59:32
  Speaker 7: Brabel was right there watching the clock and called the
• 59:35
  Speaker 7: time out just to give them enough time. I think
• 59:38
  Speaker 7: that he's really really good at that. That said, Mike
• 59:42
  Speaker 7: McDonald is what he's done in Seattle, and what Clint
• 59:47
  Speaker 7: Kuback I think has done with the offense is also
• 59:49
  Speaker 7: so good. McDonald is obviously like one of our boy
• 59:53
  Speaker 7: geniuses from a defensive standpoint, But Clint Kuback, I think
• 59:58
  Speaker 7: what he's done this year that's been a little bit
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 7: underrated is the way they manage that offense. They run
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 7: a ton, which a lot of people in analytics are like,
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 7: please stop doing this as much because it's a low
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 7: efficiency play and they are inefficient. They were the twenty
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 7: ninth team in the regular season in rush EPA, so
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 7: they ran a ton and did not run it particularly well.
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 7: But what they did because they also run a lot
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 7: of play action and put twelve personnel on the field,
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 7: that's two tight ends. One running back is they're trying
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 7: to bait the defense into giving them a look that's
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 7: closer to base. Everyone runs nickel. Now you see a
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 7: lot of dime. Base is no longer the actual base defense,
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 7: and you want to get a defensive look that will
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 7: allow you to throw the ball down field efficiently. And
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 7: they just run, run, run, run, run, and then go.
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 6: That's the look.
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 7: Now we're going to throw. And so they throw very infrequently,
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 7: but they are eighth in pass EPA. They're one of
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 7: the most efficient passing teams in the NFL, even though
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 7: they don't pass that much. So they can get away
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 7: with not passing that much because they're hitting big plays
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 7: when they actually so I think that what they've done
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 7: with the talent that they have on their roster and
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 7: looked at it and said, how can we maximize this
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 7: and be as efficient as possible with the pieces we have.
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 7: I think it's been nothing short of brilliant. So that's
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 7: a very long answer about coaching, and I don't know
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 7: if I feel comfortable picking one side or over the other.
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 7: I think it's going to be a fascinating chess match,
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 7: and I think they're really good coaches on both sides
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 7: of the ball.
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 2: Another big storyline about this game heading into the weekend
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 2: has been the injuries to both quarterbacks. Drake May's dealing
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 2: with the shoulder, the injury to his throwing shoulder, and
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 2: then Sam Darnold with the oblique. Do you think either
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 2: one of these injuries comes into play coming up during
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 2: the Super Bowl and does one worry you more than
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 2: the other in terms of just the nature of those
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 2: two injuries.
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 7: I am not particularly worried, and maybe I'm undervaluing it.
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 7: There's a part of me that thinks, I mean, we've
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 7: seen them doing things this week.
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 1: It's not like the.
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 7: Super Bowl injuries that I think we've talked about in
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 7: the past and end up being sometimes problems in games,
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 7: and sometimes not is like when they're literally not practicing
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 7: and we're not seeing something and it's like a touch
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 7: and go situation. Not necessarily quarterbacks, but other positions. I
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 7: think that ideally you want your quarterback to be full strength,
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 7: but this is the Super Bowl, and so I think
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 7: the adrenaline will be on tilt, and things that might
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 7: actually bother them in other games are going to be
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 7: less likely to bother them in this one because of
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 7: this year adrenaline and the like. If you're going to
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 7: power through an injury and just make it work, regardless
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 7: of whatever pain it causes, it is this particular game,
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 7: and I don't think that their injuries are such that
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 7: I see it being like, physically I cannot do this,
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 7: and so therefore this is a problem.
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 3: Have you been out in San Francisco for the full
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 3: week cover in the Super Bowl leading up to it? Yeah.
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 7: I got in on Sunday, so I've been at radio
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 7: every day. So I haven't been out at the practices
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 7: or talking to the players or anything like that. I've
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 7: been here kind of talking to everybody in the media,
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 7: going on different radio stations, podcasts, talking to different people,
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 7: and kind of getting their take on all of the
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 7: things related to the game, and then obviously everything else
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 7: that's going on in the NFL. It's a fun week
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 7: because you just get a chance to assess, in conversation
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 7: with a lot of smart people sort of how they
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 7: see the lay of the land and kind of stack
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 7: their opinions up against your opinions, and it's a way
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 7: to sort of form new opinions or to look at
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 7: things differently. So my week is very specific in that regard,
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 7: but I always love getting an opportunity to talk to
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 7: more people.
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 2: So what if your thoughts been about what Roger Goodell's
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 2: come out about the future of the NFL trying to
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 2: push for more international games and the way that they're
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 2: guiding the NFL into more of an international product. What
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 2: are your thoughts on what we've heard this week about
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 2: that specific portion of Super Bowl Week.
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 7: I think from a business standpoint, it makes sense. I
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 7: understand why stands at home would not necessarily want more
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 7: games to be in weird, you know, weird times or
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 7: or I mean, honestly, they're never at weird times for us.
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 7: So take that strike that they don't want a like
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 7: to have to travel Maybe all over you know, the world,
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 7: to go to one of their team's home games, or
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 7: they think that they're losing an actual home game in
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 7: order to be the home team in a situation where
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 7: they're not actually the home team. There are lots of
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 7: different things. I think that you could potentially look at
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 7: this the travel in terms of what that means for
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 7: you on the back end. Do you automatically get a
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 7: buy or you're going to be behind the eight ball
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 7: because you've traveled all over the world. I think all
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 7: of those things are valid concerns for sure. As a product,
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 7: I think that the NFL has sort of peaked in
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 7: terms of it's popularity in the United States, and the
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 7: next obvious step for any business to take is to say,
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 7: let's bring this to the world, Like soccer is much
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 7: more popular all over the world. And I think that
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 7: they probably look at their product is being a product
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 7: that for the same reasons that it's so popular in
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 7: America that it should be popular in other places, and
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 7: so exposure is good in that regard. I mean, I
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 7: kind of feel like the more the merrier, let's bring
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 7: you to the party. I think this is the best
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 7: game that there is, and I think it's also the
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 7: easiest game to follow, which is weird because the certainly
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 7: the rules are tricky and eleven sleep and it's hard
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 7: to explain to people who are casual. But if you
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 7: even just start off on the most basic in the
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 7: most basic way, and you tell them a few stories
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 7: that can grab you. This is one of the only
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 7: sports in the world for which every game actually matters
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 7: all season long. I mean, you could argue that at
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 7: the end of the year in baseball, like a winner,
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 7: a loss might get you in or out of the playoffs,
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 7: But like playing one hundred and sixty two, those things
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 7: go in cycles and waves. This one is literally every
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 7: single game is going to determine where you're going to
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 7: be at the end of the season. It matters, and
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 7: every game has its own built in matchup story and
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 7: storyline about like this coach versus that coach that he
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 7: used to or you know that he used to work with,
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 7: or whatever. There's so many different ways that you can
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 7: pull people in and give them a reason to feel
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 7: invested in that one individual game that's going on that week.
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 7: And so I think it's the easiest sport to cover.
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 7: I think it's the easiest sport to get invested in,
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 7: and so I wouldn't be surprised to see the growth,
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 7: to see it grow internationally based on the NFL's efforts,
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 7: and I don't think that's a bad thing.
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 2: NFL analyst for Sumer Sports Lindsay Rhodes with us here
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 2: on the Sean O'Connell Show on ESPN seven hundred and
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 2: ninety two one FM. Lindsay, how many Super Bowls have
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 2: you had the opportunity to cover in your career so far?
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 7: No, it's weird, and I even actually I got this
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 7: question earlier this week and realized I need to count
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 7: that at some point because I want to have that answer.
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 7: Do you want to know? I don't know. I went
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 7: to everyone after Dallas and I don't even remember what
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 7: Staton Sell was, but I went to Dallas when it's
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 7: known in Dallas, and then I went to every Super
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 7: Bowl until Miami, and then I went to the last two,
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 7: so I missed about four. So it's it's been a few.
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 7: It's been a few. It's such a I mean, obviously,
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 7: it's such a bucket list kind of thing if you're
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 7: into football to try and get to a game or
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 7: even honestly comes the week of to the city because
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 7: I'm always thinking, like if you just camped out, and
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 7: I'm trying to encourage people to do this, but if
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 7: you camped outside of Radio Road, the number of people
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 7: that just go in and out that are your favorite
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 7: athletes is wild. Like I mean, stories go ore, but
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 7: like yesterday, I'm getting in the elevator to go to
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 7: my room in the hotel and the elevator door opens
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 7: up and outcomes it in Hutchinson, and I'm thinking the
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 7: whole time, like my son would die if he was
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 7: just where I was all week long, you know, just
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 7: in terms of the proximity to all of your favorite players,
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 7: because people who aren't playing in the game come here
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 7: to pitch their product or for honors or for this
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 7: year's a Pro Bowl, and so if you are a
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 7: football fan, it's just such a fun energy and the
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 7: NFL does a great job of throwing a bunch of
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 7: different parties around town, and so it's it's I feel very,
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 7: very fortunate, And I've never gotten to the point, regardless
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 7: of how many Super Bowls I've covered or been to,
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 7: where it doesn't feel cool anymore. Like this is just
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 7: undeniably cool and I feel very, very fortunate to be
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 7: a part of it. In any way, it.
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 3: Sounds like a really cool opportunity.
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 2: What's been your favorite destination that you've been at for
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 2: a super Bowl And how how does each destination differ
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 2: because it seems like, oh, you just go do the
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 2: same thing in a different destination, but is it really
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 2: that way in reality?
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 7: So my favorite super Bowl cities are the smaller ones.
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 7: Weirdly like, you have to be a certain side, you
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 7: have to be big enough that you can handle all
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 7: of the people, you have to have the infrastructure from
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 7: a hotel standpoint and all that kind of stuff. But
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 7: I think that the best super Bowl cities are the
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 7: ones where it does get a little bit more compact
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 7: and there's a smaller downtown area. And I don't have
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 7: a specific favorite, but I know that the ones where
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 7: things are really spread out over a great distance, that
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 7: is what detracts from the things that I think make
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 7: it special that I just outlined where you're like walking
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 7: down the street and seeing Hall of Sammers and your
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 7: favorite players and you can't avoid them if you go
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 7: to like and I live in Los Angeles and I
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 7: love LA. I rep LA all the time. I don't
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 7: think it's a great super Bowl city because what is LA?
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 7: That's what I tell people, and they're like, I'm coming
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 7: to LA, and I'm like where, Like does that mean
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 7: Santa Monica?
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 3: Does that mean the South Bay?
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 7: Does that mean downtown LA? Does that mean?
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 6: Like?
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 7: LA is so many different parts of LA, which is
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 7: one of the things as beautiful about LA. But it's
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 7: not like a city where everyone kind of experiences the
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 7: same type of thing. And so I think when people
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 7: San Francisco is. The thing about San Francisco that's tough
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 7: is the traffic. It's the weirdest traffic city where you
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 7: it can take you like a half hour to go
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 7: three blocks, And so I think, for whatever reason, this
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 7: one actually is a tough one. And then you have
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 7: all of the actual football events taking place in San
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 7: Jose or Santa Clara, which is so far away from
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 7: San Francisco. It's like an entirely different place. So I
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 7: wouldn't say that this is one of my favorites. Actually,
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 7: like the smaller ones.
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And I asked that question to preface the next one,
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 2: which is about Kansas City, specifically Chicago. They're all planning
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 2: these or at least trying to plan to build indoor stadiums,
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 2: and it feels like it's a play to get the
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 2: Super Bowl in their cities. Your thoughts about these new
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 2: stadium designs that are coming out that are indoor stadiums
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 2: that kind of take away from that cool outdoor feel
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 2: in the especially the weather portion of NFL football that
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 2: we all come to love to.
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 7: Yeah, it's an interesting conversation, I think because I can
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 7: actually see both sides on this one, because I love
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 7: a good weather game as much as anyone. I mean,
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 7: you put snow flurries on my television screen and you
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 7: watch the green turn to white, and I'm like, I
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 7: am hooked. It is just cinematic. I love it. And
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 7: there's also an argument for that being another layer of
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 7: roster building that you have to take into consideration. You
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 7: have to be able to play in a shift different
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 7: types of weather environments, indoors, outdoors. You've got to be
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 7: able to win different ways, and that that's a skill
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 7: set that teams and roster builders, a front office of
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 7: people should have to keep in mind. But there's also
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 7: a component of sometimes the best team doesn't win in
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 7: the playoffs. When that's the case because you just say, Okay,
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 7: we're gonna take away the thing that you do best,
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 7: and then all of a sudden it's a ground and
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 7: pound and you just can't throw the ball. And then
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 7: nobody wants to see a you know, a team that
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 7: has literally the best passing attack, which is the most
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 7: valuable thing to have in football, just on one day
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 7: not matter at all. So I'm very very split on that.
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 7: I think that Chicago would be a great super Bowl city.
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 7: I think it would be a really really cool super
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 7: Bowl city. I think it's such a fun city and
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 7: there is kind of an area of like a quote
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 7: unquote downtown that feels like you could put all of
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 7: this stuff, and so I would love to see that
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 7: one way or another.
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 2: To be honest with you, all right, Lindsey, before we
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 2: let you go, and we appreciate your time here this afternoon,
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 2: before we let you go, how do you think the
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 2: Super Bowl is going to play out?
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 3: Patriots, Seahawks?
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 5: You?
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 3: Where does this go? And who do you think is
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 3: going to win?
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 6: Yeah?
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 7: I'm going Seahawks. I haven't actually thought of a numerical score.
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 7: I'm going to go Seahawks somewhere in the like. I
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 7: think they probably cover. I could see it being like
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 7: a six to seven point spread. I'm going to take
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 7: them like the low twenties somewhere, and I think that
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 7: the Patriots are probably somewhere in the mid to high teens.
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 7: That I know that that's super vague and I should
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 7: just come up with like a twenty three to seventeen
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 7: or something like that, but I think that that's how
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 7: I see it playing out.
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 2: Okay, Well, we'll see how it plays out. I think
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 2: the Seahawks are going to roll and run away and
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 2: hide in this one. Unfortunately, hopefully it's.
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 6: A better one possible.
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 7: I think that that's possible, honestly, I really do. So
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 7: we'll see who's right, all right, Sunday.
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 3: Hey, take care, Thank you so much for jumping on

  Speaker 5: get in a car, just just walk. The three blocks
• 1:13:16

  Speaker 5: I don't know that you can know what's in all seriousness,
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 5: San Francisco. It's a walk. It's a tiny city, it's

• 1:13:34
  Speaker 2: blocks away, just don't even worry about the car.
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 3: No, you're not get it.
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 5: No, if you're going ten blocks away, don't get in
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 5: a car, just walk, just walk it hop on the trolley.
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 6: No.
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 5: I mean that's not going to really help you out

  Speaker 4: He did not ask me first, even though it was
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 4: very convenient to ask me first. So I got, I

  Speaker 4: this time he's exactly this time he's like, he's like

• 1:19:30
  Speaker 3: Oh, I know that's the one.
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 5: I all, okay, you should have said that first. I
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 5: said biathlon, I'm not sure what that is, and he
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 5: said skiing. And then you shoot something.
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 4: At a target to be clear, not at a personally shooting.
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 5: People at games Bond movie, that's what happened in that.

  Speaker 5: I knew I was like speed skating, dibb beat skating.
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 5: I hate to break it to you, A polo is
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 5: not participating.
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 2: Which, by the way, I'm going to ask Spence Checkets
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 2: about later we're doing crosshock with Spence Checkets. I assume
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 2: you gonna ask Spence about him being able to see
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 2: a polo ono in person.
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 3: In when he worked at the Delta Center during those
• 1:20:16

• 1:20:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah, in two thousand and two, Apolo Ono was still
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 4: skiing skating. Excuse me skiing, Jordan, you may you may
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 4: want to be the Lindsay Van expert to check out
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 4: what's going on with her acl.
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 5: Well, it's impressive as an expert. My dad, my my
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 5: sixty nine year old father did text me, guys and
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 5: said that when he tore his a cl he said
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 5: he was literally dragging his leg around the house and skiing. Yeah,
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 5: that's right, so keep that in mind.
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 3: And hers wasn't just a terry. Hers was a corrupt.
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 4: She she had her training session, went down the hill
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 4: down a mountain with the ruptured a c L. My
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 4: favorite thing about that story after she after she told
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 4: the media, hey, I'm I'm gonna I'm confident I can
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 4: do this. Was there's no swelling and I got a
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 4: knee bracene.
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 3: Okay, well, I guess you don't need an a c L.
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 3: It's just a stabilized You don't need it.
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 5: You go to a civil war doctor like, it's fine,
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 5: I gotta They taped a supplywood to it, and then
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 5: after the yeah, after the event, we may just amputate it.
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 5: So if I get dang green, I take I have
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 5: a knee brace. I don't understand how that work. That's
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 5: just a stabilizing ligament. So I guess the brace does
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 5: helps to stabilize. It is a good a good substitute
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 5: for an a c O.
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 2: Does Jeff Schwartz know that there is a U v

• 1:23:46
  Speaker 2: votes in the NFL MVP, and I have a sneaking
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 2: suspicion maybe that's why Matthew Stafford just eked it out
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 2: past Drake May. If those three people would have been
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 2: for real with their votes and chose one of the two,
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 2: maybe Drake May would have gotten two of those three
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 2: votes and Ben the NFL MVP.
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 5: Well, James probably knows this as a Colt span but
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 5: Peyton Manning. The last time it was this close was
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 5: Peyton Manning and McNair were co m vps right in
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 5: two thousand and two.
• 1:24:14
  Speaker 4: Thousand and four, Yeah, oh, for Peyton Manning's first MVP award.
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 4: He shared the m v P with with Steve McNair, Air, McNair,
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 4: that's amazing. Who, by the way, Bryce, do you know
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 4: do you know Steve McNair, Yes, I know, serious, I
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 4: don't know what his jersey We're no, I just I
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 4: just The only reason I asked that is because I
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 4: feel like there's a there's a generation that did not
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 4: know this guy's greatness, and it's it's worth even even
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 4: after he lost kind of his fastball when he joined
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 4: the Ravens after his career with the Titans. Yeah, but
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 4: that was when the Ravens went from posts that first
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 4: Super Bowl win. They were just bad for like for
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 4: like half a decade, and then they signed Steve McNair
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 4: and all of a sudden from that point on and
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 4: it was the I think that was the end of
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 4: the Brian Billick era into the John Harbough era, which
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 4: just ended They've been a perennial contender pretty much. So
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 4: it was anyway, but he was one of my favorites
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 4: of that era.
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 6: He was great.
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 5: I had to Steve McNair jersey as a kid, and
• 1:25:21
  Speaker 5: I wasn't even a Titans fan.
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 4: I would absolutely buy Steve McNair jersey. Now, Yeah, he
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 4: was a lefty, was fun to watch. Unfortunately passed away
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 4: way too young too.
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 5: That's the interesting documentary on Netflix price that you can
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 5: check out about Steve McNair.
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 3: Sad since you don't know him at all. Yeah, but interesting.
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 6: He was.
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 3: He was a football player. I'm in on the documentaries.
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 3: You like the documentaries, YESHI documentaries.
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 4: Did not realize that this was the probably the closest
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 4: MVP vote since then, though that's been a long time,
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 4: over twenty years since Peyton Manning won his first MVP.
• 1:25:58
  Speaker 3: Were you surprised was that close? I was a little
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 3: a little surprised. I thought it was going to be close.
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 3: Did I mean?
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 2: I thought if if it was going to be Matthew
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 2: staffordd eke it out just barely, and that's what happened.
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 3: So I wasn't super surprised that it was close.
• 1:26:11
  Speaker 2: What I was surprised about was when I saw the
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 2: actual voting breakdown and saw someone voted for Justin Herbert
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 2: with the first place vote.
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 3: That did surprise me. Don it's that blogger and something
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 3: was that was that Jim Harbaugh exactly. We were talking
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 3: about that this morning.
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 5: We're like, who was this Jim Harbow that that voted for.
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 3: Ourbu So that all happened just the other day. Also the.
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 2: Announcement of the Hall of Famers, Drew Brees, Larry Fitzgerald
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 2: Hall of Famers on the first ballot. He also had
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 2: Luketik in the mix there. He was part of that
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 2: list as well, and a couple of other players that
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 2: made it into the Hall of Fame this go around,
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 2: that Roger Craig finally made it in, right, Yeah, he
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 2: was the only one out of the senior group, Roger Craig.
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 4: And he's so he's one that got the votes instead
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 4: of Belichick and Robert Kraft.
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 6: Is that?
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 3: Is that right? What wasn't it he and that group
• 1:27:23
  Speaker 3: that you also that Belichick and Craft were part of. Yeah,
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 3: I believe so. I believe so.
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 2: Eric Weddle coming up next year eligible for the Pro
• 1:27:38
  Speaker 2: Football Hall of Fame for the first time. That's alongside
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 2: a list of really good players. Listen to this list
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 2: of players who are eligible coming up next year for
• 1:27:49
  Speaker 2: the Hall of Fame. Rob Gronkowski, Adrianne Peterson, Richard Sherman,
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 2: Ben Roethlisberger, Antonio Brown, Le'Veon Bell, Cam Newton, Andrew Whitworth,
• 1:27:59
  Speaker 2: and Eric web.
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 5: Holy Cow, Cam Newton's not a Hall of Famer. You
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 5: don't think so, right, he wasn't he didn't have the longevity.
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 3: I kind of think he is. I would trust your
• 1:28:12
  Speaker 3: opinion on the MVP. I'd have to go look at
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 3: the number.
• 1:28:15
  Speaker 4: The MVP season was one of Statistically, I think it's
• 1:28:19
  Speaker 4: the most rushing touchdowns quarterbacks ever had, and he threw
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 4: over thirty passing touchdowns. It was an incredible MVP season.
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 4: And yeah, he had some years where he was not
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 4: the reason the Panthers were contenders, but he had plenty
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 4: more where he kind of was, including that MVP season.
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 4: So I think he kind of is. But I don't
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 4: think he's first ballot. Okay, all right, he's gonna get
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 4: the Belichick treatment. He's not gonna be first ballot. We'll
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 4: see how it happens with Cam Newton. There's those that
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 4: listed names is crazy though, really interesting names on that.
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 4: Eric Weddle on that list, and a Yahoo Sports article
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 4: that was written by Jack Bear, a staff rider at
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 4: Yahoo sports dot com, wrote this about Eric Weddle, saying
• 1:29:05
  Speaker 4: Wedtle spent a solid decade as one of the top
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 4: NFL safeties for the San Diego Chargers of Baltimore Ravens,
• 1:29:10
  Speaker 4: earning six Pro Bowl nods, hauling in twenty nine interceptions
• 1:29:13
  Speaker 4: in his career. He had a strong case when he
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 4: retired in twenty twenty, but his returned to the Rams
• 1:29:18
  Speaker 4: in the twenty one twenty two postseason after the pair
• 1:29:20
  Speaker 4: of devastating injuries was one of the biggest stories in
• 1:29:23
  Speaker 4: their Super Bowl title, especially when he didn't let that
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 4: peck tear stop him from playing every defensive snap.
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 3: So what do you think about mister Weddle?
• 1:29:31
  Speaker 5: Yeah, not next year, but yeah maybe eventually. He was
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 5: such a great just all around player. Yeah, that's a
• 1:29:40
  Speaker 5: good question. Did you guys also see Weddle at Weddle's
• 1:29:44
  Speaker 5: beard on Twitter? Commented on Fox Sports graphic where it
• 1:29:50
  Speaker 5: showed all the first time Hall of famers and it
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 5: had it had everyone that you named except Eric Weddle
• 1:29:56
  Speaker 5: on the graphic and he goes, He goes, I think
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 5: you're missing somebody.
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 2: Was gonna advocate for yourself on next By the way,
• 1:30:06
  Speaker 2: I did leave Alex mack off that list as well.
• 1:30:08
  Speaker 2: He's the former Cleveland Browns, Falcons and forty nine Ers
• 1:30:12
  Speaker 2: offensive lineman played in that one Super Bowl with the Falcons.
• 1:30:17
  Speaker 2: That will not be named.
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 5: No, he was a stud. I loved Alex Mack.
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, good football player too. So that's your list of
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 2: Hall of Fame eligible dudes coming up this next season.
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 2: The final thing here, Jim Schwartz has resigned as the
• 1:30:32
  Speaker 2: Browns defensive coordinator. He's recently passed up for a head
• 1:30:35
  Speaker 2: coaching job as well. So that's some news that just
• 1:30:39
  Speaker 2: barely came down from the NFL. And another headline to
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 2: hit on our daily dump this morning.
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 3: Where does he end up?
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 5: Because you know, he was a candidate for the forty
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 5: nine ers opening and they hired Rahiem Morris. Jim Schwartz
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 5: is a good defensive coordinator, really good defensive coordinator. So
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 5: it's yeah, it's weird, kind of weird timing.
• 1:30:59
  Speaker 3: To be honest with you. Maybe takes some time off
• 1:31:01
  Speaker 3: of football and then reevaluates things.
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 6: He was.
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 4: He made his name as the Titans defensive coordinator. I
• 1:31:09
  Speaker 4: don't know if Robert sala is named one that might
• 1:31:12
  Speaker 4: be that might be interesting. That was, of course under
• 1:31:16
  Speaker 4: Jeff Fisher, I believe. So that's a long time ago now,
• 1:31:20
  Speaker 4: so it's not like he has a tie to another
• 1:31:25
  Speaker 4: head coach that he came up with as a defensive
• 1:31:27
  Speaker 4: coordinator at this point. But maybe, I mean, I think
• 1:31:31
  Speaker 4: it'd be a shrewd move by Sala and be like,
• 1:31:35
  Speaker 4: I know that I'm one of the best defensive coordinators
• 1:31:37
  Speaker 4: in the league if I'm Robert Saala. But also I
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 4: know that I screwed up royally as a head coach
• 1:31:41
  Speaker 4: last time.
• 1:31:41
  Speaker 3: So maybe.
• 1:31:44
  Speaker 4: Maybe I should get someone who's close to my equal
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 4: or better than me a defensive coordinator so I can
• 1:31:50
  Speaker 4: focus more on the rest of it.
• 1:31:51
  Speaker 5: I don't know they did hire they hired Gus Bradley.
• 1:31:55
  Speaker 3: Bradley, Okay, yeah, so we'll see.
• 1:31:57
  Speaker 4: I mean Gus Bradley the Colts then right before possibly,
• 1:32:02
  Speaker 4: I believe so, So maybe maybe the Colts would be
• 1:32:05
  Speaker 4: an opening there for I would love that actually.
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 3: A great Yeah.
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 5: Bradley was with the Niners this year, so okay, I'm
• 1:32:14
  Speaker 5: telling you man, he was.
• 1:32:16
  Speaker 3: It's hard to indian through twenty four years.
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 5: Ok okay, so recently with the Colts. What do you
• 1:32:25
  Speaker 5: think of Raheem Morris for your Niners? I love, yeah,
• 1:32:30
  Speaker 5: I thought it's a great movie. I don't know how
• 1:32:32
  Speaker 5: he as a head coach. You know, Bryce can give
• 1:32:34
  Speaker 5: you his don't ask me what but as a d C,
• 1:32:38
  Speaker 5: I really like you would have loved him in Atlanta
• 1:32:41
  Speaker 5: if he was the d C. Bryce, I just I
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 5: just know it.
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 1: Well.
• 1:32:45
  Speaker 2: They they retained the defensive coordinator, Jeff Oulbrick, who's the
• 1:32:48
  Speaker 2: best defensive coordinator in the NFL right now.
• 1:32:50
  Speaker 3: In my opinion.
• 1:32:52
  Speaker 2: But uh raheem, good luck. We wish you the best
• 1:32:56
  Speaker 2: of luck out in San Francisco.
• 1:32:57
  Speaker 5: Run the defense, man, Kyle's got the rest of it.
• 1:33:01
  Speaker 2: You can just run the defense. Maybe that'll be better
• 1:33:04
  Speaker 2: for him. All right, we'll take a break here. Lee
• 1:33:07
  Speaker 2: Sterling comes up next for Paramount Sports. We're going to
• 1:33:09
  Speaker 2: talk with him about some bets in the Super Bowl,
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 2: some prop bets and more.
• 1:33:14
  Speaker 3: So we'll get after it with Lee Sterling.
• 1:33:16
  Speaker 2: That's all coming up on a Football Friday edition of
• 1:33:20
  Speaker 2: the Sean O'Connell Show on Bryce Larson. That is Jordan

  Speaker 6: A.
• 1:33:46
  Speaker 1: You were listening to a Sean O'Connell show, your source
• 1:33:49
  Speaker 1: for the best huts Football Company. Here's OC from the
• 1:33:52

• 1:34:15
  Speaker 2: weekend on a football Friday edition of the show. Our
• 1:34:18
  Speaker 2: friend Lee Sterling for Paramount Sports, joining us now on
• 1:34:22
  Speaker 2: the Shan O'Connell Show. Lee, great to have you back on.
• 1:34:25
  Speaker 2: How excited are you for the Super Bowl this weekend?
• 1:34:28
  Speaker 9: I'm excited. I'll either be jumping up and down by
• 1:34:34
  Speaker 9: the end of it or not wanting to talk to
• 1:34:37
  Speaker 9: anyone for a couple of days. What's amazing is I
• 1:34:40
  Speaker 9: can put it out as I rate my selections from
• 1:34:43
  Speaker 9: ten to fifty units. Here's a couple of years, I
• 1:34:45
  Speaker 9: put it as twenty unit plays and I hear from
• 1:34:51
  Speaker 9: people when you lose, they bet five times their normal amount.
• 1:34:54
  Speaker 9: I mean, who does things like that? So maybe I've
• 1:34:58
  Speaker 9: been doing it so long, but you got to treat
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 9: it as one game. Maybe a little bit extra, but
• 1:35:03
  Speaker 9: betting three, four or five times your normal amount just
• 1:35:06
  Speaker 9: makes no sense.
• 1:35:07
  Speaker 2: Well, let's dive into some of these bets. What are
• 1:35:10
  Speaker 2: we looking at here? We looking at prop bets? Are
• 1:35:12
  Speaker 2: we looking at the spread? What do we got going?
• 1:35:15
  Speaker 9: We're going to look at everything and we're going to
• 1:35:19
  Speaker 9: do Let's start off first with the National Anthem. I
• 1:35:22
  Speaker 9: got to talk about the National Anthem. My daughter as
• 1:35:24
  Speaker 9: an actress, and she's been handicapping it now and over
• 1:35:28
  Speaker 9: the last eleven years, she's gone we call it ten
• 1:35:30
  Speaker 9: oh in one. So she won the first nine all
• 1:35:33
  Speaker 9: pretty easy, and then what happened. She ends up the
• 1:35:38
  Speaker 9: Reba MacIntyre disaster. Rebat decides to sing the last line twice,
• 1:35:44
  Speaker 9: So my daughter had it under by singing it twice.
• 1:35:48
  Speaker 9: It ended up going over. The sportsbook were left in
• 1:35:52
  Speaker 9: a conundrum, and what did they do? Most of them
• 1:35:55
  Speaker 9: paid off both sides as a goodwill gesture, so it
• 1:36:00
  Speaker 9: was something they hope never happens again. Then last year
• 1:36:04
  Speaker 9: I had her studying it and she said, you know what,
• 1:36:06
  Speaker 9: this is going to be the closest one yet we're
• 1:36:08
  Speaker 9: going to go under. It went under by one second,
• 1:36:13
  Speaker 9: so last two have been crazy. Now she said this
• 1:36:17
  Speaker 9: is going to be a little easier. Charlie Pute is
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 9: singing the national anthem, And so she comes back two
• 1:36:23
  Speaker 9: days later and she says, I've got it. I said, okay,
• 1:36:26
  Speaker 9: where do I find some of his national anthems? She goes, Oh,
• 1:36:29
  Speaker 9: he's never sang the national anthem. And I'm like, so,
• 1:36:32
  Speaker 9: how are you so confident? She goes, he did an
• 1:36:35
  Speaker 9: interview a couple of weeks ago on with Ryan Seacrest,
• 1:36:40
  Speaker 9: and in it he mentioned that he's going to be
• 1:36:43
  Speaker 9: singing it with a choir and an orchestra. So even
• 1:36:49
  Speaker 9: though let's say they sing, let's say he starts off
• 1:36:53
  Speaker 9: singing and the choir and orchestra played by themselves or
• 1:36:57
  Speaker 9: sing by themselves, and then he finishes that way, it
• 1:37:02
  Speaker 9: all counts as long as he starts and finishes. So
• 1:37:05
  Speaker 9: she feels pretty confident it's going over the minute and
• 1:37:09
  Speaker 9: the minute, almost two minutes minute. I think they got
• 1:37:14
  Speaker 9: a half second short of two minutes. So she feels
• 1:37:16
  Speaker 9: it's going to finish in something like ten two fifteen.
• 1:37:19
  Speaker 9: So we're going to go over on the national anthem.
• 1:37:22
  Speaker 2: So how did they decide? How does sportsbooks decide to
• 1:37:25
  Speaker 2: pay these things out or not? Like, is there certain
• 1:37:27
  Speaker 2: stipulations that they have with some of these crazy prop bets.
• 1:37:31
  Speaker 9: Yeah, it starts from the first note, first word singing
• 1:37:35
  Speaker 9: out of the anthem singer, and the last note. Now
• 1:37:39
  Speaker 9: they made it the last note. It used to be
• 1:37:40
  Speaker 9: the last word was brave, but since Reebo McIntyre repeated
• 1:37:44
  Speaker 9: the line twice, they've changed that to be the last
• 1:37:49
  Speaker 9: the last note that they sing. So they're not going
• 1:37:52
  Speaker 9: to put out huge you know dollar figures that you
• 1:37:55
  Speaker 9: can bet on it. Usually the over under you can
• 1:37:57
  Speaker 9: bet on the national Anthem is like five hundred and
• 1:38:01
  Speaker 9: most sportsbooks haven't even put out the total yet, so
• 1:38:04
  Speaker 9: just maybe twenty twenty five percent have. They'll put it
• 1:38:06
  Speaker 9: out probably tonight or tomorrow morning.
• 1:38:08
  Speaker 2: Okay, that's good to know. What other bets are we
• 1:38:11
  Speaker 2: looking at for the super Bowl that you have coming
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 2: up this weekend?
• 1:38:15
  Speaker 9: Yeah, a couple of player props. I like, I don't
• 1:38:17
  Speaker 9: bet the first person to score. I think it's just
• 1:38:19
  Speaker 9: too random. You know, if you're going to a party,
• 1:38:22
  Speaker 9: you got twenty twenty five people put all the names
• 1:38:24
  Speaker 9: of the receivers, running backs, tight ends and quarterbacks in there,
• 1:38:28
  Speaker 9: and you know that way, everyone's got a shot at
• 1:38:30
  Speaker 9: winning something. You make it a prize or you have
• 1:38:33
  Speaker 9: a pot, But I would rather do something like Kenneth
• 1:38:36
  Speaker 9: Walker anytime touchdown. I think that's something where you've got
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 9: a chance to win a couple player props. I like
• 1:38:43
  Speaker 9: Cooper Cup receiver for Seattle, over fifty over two and
• 1:38:47
  Speaker 9: a half receptions in the game. They've gone to him
• 1:38:50
  Speaker 9: a lot more of late and real good at reading
• 1:38:53
  Speaker 9: zone defenses and knowing where to go when they use
• 1:38:57
  Speaker 9: certain coverages or where the seams are in these coverage
• 1:39:01
  Speaker 9: and I like him over two and a half receptions.
• 1:39:03
  Speaker 9: On the other side, New England receivers Mac Collins, I
• 1:39:07
  Speaker 9: like over fifteen and a half yards on his longest reception.
• 1:39:10
  Speaker 9: Here's a guy six four two twenty. They don't run
• 1:39:13
  Speaker 9: flanker screens for this guy. He's tall, he can jump
• 1:39:17
  Speaker 9: out of the gym long arms. They throw the ball
• 1:39:19
  Speaker 9: down the field on the sidelines to him early and often,
• 1:39:22
  Speaker 9: so I like over fifteen and a half yards and
• 1:39:24
  Speaker 9: his longest reception. And Stefan Diggs four and five receptions
• 1:39:29
  Speaker 9: the last two games. They've been using him, but I
• 1:39:32
  Speaker 9: think he's lost his step. And I also think they're
• 1:39:35
  Speaker 9: going to use some man o man coverage on the receivers.
• 1:39:39
  Speaker 9: That's the legion of boom two defense, So they could
• 1:39:43
  Speaker 9: end up curtailing his output. On Sunday, Lee, what do
• 1:39:47
  Speaker 9: you see with.
• 1:39:48
  Speaker 3: The over under?
• 1:39:49
  Speaker 6: Here?
• 1:39:50
  Speaker 5: And I'm not even sure. I haven't looked, I haven't
• 1:39:51
  Speaker 5: even seen what it is, but I imagine that they're
• 1:39:54
  Speaker 5: thinking it's a somewhat low scoring game.
• 1:39:56
  Speaker 9: Yeah, they've got it at forty five and a half.
• 1:40:00
  Speaker 9: I would rather take the under in the first half
• 1:40:03
  Speaker 9: under twenty one points. Why would I say that. I
• 1:40:06
  Speaker 9: think both coaches are so good. I think they're going
• 1:40:08
  Speaker 9: to feel each other out. Both are great at halftime adjustments.
• 1:40:12
  Speaker 9: So super Bowl with two teams that really very few
• 1:40:16
  Speaker 9: players have played in the Super Bowl, better I think
• 1:40:19
  Speaker 9: to play the under. But for the game, I like Seattle.
• 1:40:23
  Speaker 9: I just think that this Seattle team, you know, has
• 1:40:26
  Speaker 9: really come into their own. They played a tougher schedule.
• 1:40:28
  Speaker 9: Look did they played down the stretch you know Rams twice?
• 1:40:31
  Speaker 9: Forty nine ers twice, actually three times for each team,
• 1:40:36
  Speaker 9: and then if you include the playoffs, and Newland got
• 1:40:39
  Speaker 9: a very easy schedule this year from a last place
• 1:40:43
  Speaker 9: finished last year and got to face Denver, you know,
• 1:40:46
  Speaker 9: in the AFC Championship without their starting quarterbacks. So to me,
• 1:40:50
  Speaker 9: it's a game of big plays, explosive plays. New England
• 1:40:53
  Speaker 9: just doesn't have those players. I mean, RMONDE. Stevenson is fine,
• 1:40:57
  Speaker 9: but he's I think he's due to fumble his them
• 1:40:59
  Speaker 9: fund six or seven games, and Trevion Henderson with their
• 1:41:03
  Speaker 9: guy and they just stop using him. He was hitting
• 1:41:05
  Speaker 9: on big plays. I think he had three or four
• 1:41:07
  Speaker 9: touchdowns of more than fifty yards, So something's wrong. I
• 1:41:11
  Speaker 9: think also with Drake May with his shoulder and Sam
• 1:41:14
  Speaker 9: Donald seems like the green lights come on. I like Seattle.
• 1:41:17
  Speaker 9: I think they win and cover twenty seven to sixteen.
• 1:41:20
  Speaker 2: Hey, do they still offer the ability to bet on
• 1:41:22
  Speaker 2: the color of the gate rade that's bored on the
• 1:41:24
  Speaker 2: winning game?
• 1:41:24
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 1:41:25
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I'd never been that desperate to bet something like that,
• 1:41:30
  Speaker 9: So I think I bet the coin toss. Once won it,
• 1:41:33
  Speaker 9: I'm like, I'm done. I can't do this anymore.
• 1:41:36
  Speaker 2: Hey, So my only question is how in the world
• 1:41:39
  Speaker 2: are they like someone can mess with that, you know
• 1:41:41
  Speaker 2: what I'm saying. Someone decides which color data rade they're
• 1:41:44
  Speaker 2: going with. How do they how do they prevent against
• 1:41:46
  Speaker 2: that guy cheating the system.
• 1:41:48
  Speaker 9: Well he could, but he, like I said, the limit
• 1:41:50
  Speaker 9: almost those bets is five hundred dollars. Yet put a
• 1:41:52
  Speaker 9: lot of bets. They have to put in sixty bets
• 1:41:55
  Speaker 9: just to make thirty grand. So you know, are you
• 1:41:58
  Speaker 9: gonna there's there's not not sixty legal sports books before
• 1:42:02
  Speaker 9: they realize that the same person's betting at them. That's
• 1:42:06
  Speaker 9: where they've caught a lot of these, you know, these
• 1:42:08
  Speaker 9: all of these gambling scandals is you know they get
• 1:42:11
  Speaker 9: there was the one, the Arizona State scandal had all
• 1:42:13
  Speaker 9: these students driving over from Arizona, and you gotta be smart.
• 1:42:19
  Speaker 9: I mean, I'm not doing anything illegal, but I don't
• 1:42:22
  Speaker 9: want any attention to me. Let's say I find out
• 1:42:24
  Speaker 9: about an injury. You know, if I'm in Vegas, I'm
• 1:42:27
  Speaker 9: not going to bet two thousand on every game. If
• 1:42:30
  Speaker 9: that's the limit, you walk in and you bet thirteen hundred,
• 1:42:33
  Speaker 9: fifteen hundred, eighteen hundred dollars. You know, they had these
• 1:42:37
  Speaker 9: kids betting two thousand dollars a limit at every single
• 1:42:40
  Speaker 9: sportsbook they could find. When you got twenty kids walking
• 1:42:44
  Speaker 9: over betting two thousand dollars in every sportsbook, doesn't take
• 1:42:47
  Speaker 9: long to figure out something something fishy's going on.
• 1:42:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I remember that one. That was a crazy one
• 1:42:53
  Speaker 2: word got around campus. Everybody was sending everybody to Vegas
• 1:42:56
  Speaker 2: that weekend. All right, leave final thing for you. I
• 1:42:59
  Speaker 2: want to get your thoughts on this. Your thoughts on
• 1:43:02
  Speaker 2: live betting versus betting before the game starts. Do you
• 1:43:05
  Speaker 2: do you prefer one or the other? Do you have
• 1:43:06
  Speaker 2: an edge at all if you go with the live betting.
• 1:43:08
  Speaker 2: Scenario's kind of played out, see how it plays early on.
• 1:43:12
  Speaker 9: So I do really well with my live betting, but
• 1:43:14
  Speaker 9: I just don't do it that often. There's a lot
• 1:43:16
  Speaker 9: of games I just don't feel I have the edge. Also,
• 1:43:18
  Speaker 9: you have to remember live betting that usually the juice
• 1:43:21
  Speaker 9: is minus one fifteen instead of minus one ten, so
• 1:43:24
  Speaker 9: you got to have a better winning percentage. So you know,
• 1:43:27
  Speaker 9: I'm looking for things and football games. I know quarterbacks.
• 1:43:31
  Speaker 9: I know the backup quarterbacks well. So sometimes you know
• 1:43:34
  Speaker 9: backup quarterback comes in and all of a sudden, they
• 1:43:36
  Speaker 9: flip the odds and I know the quarterback and think
• 1:43:40
  Speaker 9: he might even be better or a lot worse. So
• 1:43:43
  Speaker 9: those are some of the things that I look for
• 1:43:45
  Speaker 9: in live betting or certain certain situations. Where certain coaches.
• 1:43:51
  Speaker 9: Last year, for instance, the Miami Heat third quarter maybe
• 1:43:54
  Speaker 9: one of the worst teams of all time. I don't
• 1:43:56
  Speaker 9: know what they were doing in the halftime. Maybe you know,
• 1:43:58
  Speaker 9: they're watching a game show or something, but they came
• 1:44:01
  Speaker 9: out and they were just getting absolutely destroyed in the
• 1:44:05
  Speaker 9: third quarter. So those are some of the things I
• 1:44:07
  Speaker 9: look for when you do live wagering. But you've got
• 1:44:11
  Speaker 9: to be really astute, and you can't make too many
• 1:44:13
  Speaker 9: bets and live wagering if you're betting, I know, people
• 1:44:16
  Speaker 9: to chase games. Things start going bad, and they'll just
• 1:44:19
  Speaker 9: keep riding that team and make eight or ten bets
• 1:44:22
  Speaker 9: before you know it. You know, I see him at
• 1:44:26
  Speaker 9: my local drug store. They're at the cashier stand.
• 1:44:31
  Speaker 2: All right, Lee, before we let you go, Hey, we
• 1:44:33
  Speaker 2: thank you for jumping on with us. You got to
• 1:44:35
  Speaker 2: play the week for the people. If they call you
• 1:44:38

• 1:44:49

• 1:44:56
  Speaker 9: reconvene on this show until the in State before March Madness.
• 1:45:01
  Speaker 9: But I do a daily podcast on the Locked On
• 1:45:04

• 1:45:20
  Speaker 9: on Bets, subscribe and like and get three bets and
• 1:45:24
  Speaker 9: three to four bets And it takes fifteen minutes tops
• 1:45:27
  Speaker 9: each and every day of just typing those words locked
• 1:45:30
  Speaker 9: on Bets.
• 1:45:31
  Speaker 3: All right, appreciate you, Lee, Thanks for your time today.
• 1:45:34
  Speaker 9: Okay, thanks guys.

  Speaker 2: Love the Super Bowl betting conversations.
• 1:45:41
  Speaker 3: I love Lee.
• 1:45:42
  Speaker 5: I could talk to Lee for a long time. Those
• 1:45:45
  Speaker 5: guys like people like Lee that really know what they're
• 1:45:47
  Speaker 5: doing with like sports betting.
• 1:45:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, fascinate me.
• 1:45:50
  Speaker 5: Isn't that Like it's an incredible skill?
• 1:45:53
  Speaker 3: Like it really is.
• 1:45:54
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 1:45:54
  Speaker 5: And by the way, everyone listening, you're not skilled like that,
• 1:45:57
  Speaker 5: So just just to put that's why you have to
• 1:45:59
  Speaker 5: call Lee. You know every better thing. Oh no, I've
• 1:46:03
  Speaker 5: been watching sports for a while.
• 1:46:04
  Speaker 3: I know what I'm no.
• 1:46:05
  Speaker 5: Like when you actually talk to somebody like Lee Sterling.
• 1:46:07
  Speaker 5: It's just so interesting to me.
• 1:46:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, especially as to it. It's around the price is
• 1:46:11
  Speaker 2: right every Friday. Although our record was a winning.
• 1:46:14
  Speaker 5: Record, it wasn't bad, but we are just throwing stuff
• 1:46:17
  Speaker 5: at a wall. He's not doing that.
• 1:46:20
  Speaker 3: He really does.
• 1:46:21
  Speaker 4: It's amazing. Well, he kind of he mentioned it there
• 1:46:25
  Speaker 4: in the interview too. He played college football, so he
• 1:46:30
  Speaker 4: knows football really well. So that in particular with football,
• 1:46:34
  Speaker 4: that's one that that he typically gets. He typically nails football,
• 1:46:41
  Speaker 4: but you heard him in college basketball. He's on quite
• 1:46:43
  Speaker 4: the run too, So it's that's been a fascinating thing
• 1:46:47
  Speaker 4: for me to hear him talk about football and the
• 1:46:50
  Speaker 4: reasons why he likes certain bets, and you can tell
• 1:46:52
  Speaker 4: intuitively like he knows the game.
• 1:46:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you know.
• 1:46:57
  Speaker 5: The opposite of that, James is me watching League women's
• 1:47:01
  Speaker 5: basketball at ten in the morning during COVID, during COVID,
• 1:47:05
  Speaker 5: chasing points, chasing quarter totals.
• 1:47:07
  Speaker 3: You were that guy betting got women's basketball row chasing
• 1:47:14
  Speaker 3: you You haven't, don't. What's your worst bad beats story with? Oh,
• 1:47:19
  Speaker 3: I don't even know.
• 1:47:19
  Speaker 5: If I don't even that's a great it's all a
• 1:47:22
  Speaker 5: blur jing.
• 1:47:23
  Speaker 3: It's all. It was all one bad. It was all
• 1:47:26
  Speaker 3: I had.
• 1:47:27
  Speaker 2: I had one couple of years ago on a Thanksgiving
• 1:47:31
  Speaker 2: NFL game. It was I think it's the Eagles and
• 1:47:35
  Speaker 2: and Cowboys. A late scoop and score a touchdown just
• 1:47:39
  Speaker 2: ruined it all.
• 1:47:41
  Speaker 5: No, if you go like Women's Whack or something, bet
• 1:47:48
  Speaker 5: can't score, they don't score like they they'll go on
• 1:47:52
  Speaker 5: like a seven minute drought and then they'll, you know, foul.
• 1:47:55
  Speaker 5: It's just it's it's a it's a gam man.
• 1:47:58
  Speaker 2: They're offering it on something league basketball and the quarter
• 1:48:01
  Speaker 2: by quarter offer.
• 1:48:02
  Speaker 3: Where they were I don't know, I don't know if
• 1:48:08
  Speaker 3: called this alleged.
• 1:48:10
  Speaker 5: Yeah, this is extra legal. It's outside of the system,
• 1:48:13
  Speaker 5: extra super legal.

  Speaker 4: so check that out. One interesting thing before we get
• 1:52:00
  Speaker 4: to the curling that I noticed about what they're doing
• 1:52:02
  Speaker 4: in Milan for this opening ceremonies we saw probably the
• 1:52:07
  Speaker 4: most unique opening ceremonies in the Summer Olympics in Paris,
• 1:52:10
  Speaker 4: where they had them you know, on boats on the
• 1:52:13
  Speaker 4: Seine right and going all the way to the Lifeful
• 1:52:15
  Speaker 4: Tower and we had just that incredible Selene Dion song
• 1:52:21
  Speaker 4: that that kept off the day there. I like that
• 1:52:25
  Speaker 4: Milan is kind of low key doing something unique as well,
• 1:52:29
  Speaker 4: but also like I say, very low key, like they're
• 1:52:33
  Speaker 4: they have the main thing happening in a big arena,
• 1:52:37
  Speaker 4: and then they have two other spots where they've got
• 1:52:40
  Speaker 4: these Olympic rings that the nations are walking through as
• 1:52:44
  Speaker 4: they're introduced. So they walk through a ring in the
• 1:52:47
  Speaker 4: main arena where most where the most people are watching
• 1:52:51
  Speaker 4: the opening ceremonies. Then they have like a downtown area
• 1:52:54
  Speaker 4: walking street area where they've got another one set up
• 1:52:57
  Speaker 4: and another smaller group of athletes from that name walks
• 1:53:00
  Speaker 4: through there. And then it looks like it one of
• 1:53:02
  Speaker 4: the ski the bottom of one of the ski hills
• 1:53:05
  Speaker 4: in it where there's lots of snow they're walking through.
• 1:53:08
  Speaker 3: They're walking through there. So they got three different.
• 1:53:10
  Speaker 4: Spots that they're introducing these nations through, and I think
• 1:53:13
  Speaker 4: it's kind of cool. I think I'd prefer to be
• 1:53:15
  Speaker 4: in that walking street downtown here area. It looks like
• 1:53:18
  Speaker 4: you get a little closer to the action, and uh
• 1:53:22
  Speaker 4: it it's somewhat unique as well. It's it's I think
• 1:53:25
  Speaker 4: a little bit better than just buy a ticket and
• 1:53:28
  Speaker 4: be in this massive stadium. So interesting thing they got
• 1:53:32
  Speaker 4: going on there again, NBC. It's probably gonna go on
• 1:53:36
  Speaker 4: what another three four hours? They like to drag these things.
• 1:53:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but for some reason, opening, closing ceremonies just go
• 1:53:42
  Speaker 2: on for forever, just keep on going.
• 1:53:47
  Speaker 3: Just shorten this one up a little bit.
• 1:53:49
  Speaker 5: I'll be there are points where I think they're making
• 1:53:51

  Speaker 5: off the damn field, and let's let's kick off the game.
• 2:04:35
  Speaker 5: Remember a couple of years ago when the Rock came
• 2:04:37
  Speaker 5: out and was on the field screaming into a microphone,
• 2:04:41
  Speaker 5: and the Rams are out there, and the Bengals are
• 2:04:44
  Speaker 5: out there. They're literally the special teams are on the field,
• 2:04:47
  Speaker 5: they're ready to kick and they're just standing there. Well,
• 2:04:50
  Speaker 5: for no reason, he's talking.
• 2:04:52
  Speaker 3: I hate that.
• 2:04:53
  Speaker 5: Meanwhile, now other sports are like, maybe we should think
• 2:04:56
  Speaker 5: about doing this garbage. They had They had Fat Joe
• 2:04:59
  Speaker 5: at the World's You see that, like in the middle
• 2:05:02
  Speaker 5: of the seventh inning, Fat Joe's out there at home
• 2:05:04
  Speaker 5: plate what are we doing?
• 2:05:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, there was a college football game. There was
• 2:05:07
  Speaker 2: a college football was it the college football playoff game
• 2:05:11
  Speaker 2: where they had some rap performance in between Oklahoma Alabama.
• 2:05:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, between between the third and fourth quarters they have like.
• 2:05:18
  Speaker 5: Lil Wayne or somebody come out. That's exactly what I
• 2:05:22
  Speaker 5: was so, Stu, it's the first round, you losers. It's
• 2:05:28
  Speaker 5: it's not the channel like it's one thing. It's the
• 2:05:29
  Speaker 5: championship game. You didn't even win the SEC. Neither of
• 2:05:34
  Speaker 5: you won the SEC. We're gonna bring fifty cent out
• 2:05:36
  Speaker 5: between the third and fourth quarter.
• 2:05:38
  Speaker 2: This is it. I hate it.
• 2:05:40
  Speaker 5: Everything's a spectacle. I just let me watch a freaking
• 2:05:43
  Speaker 5: football all game.
• 2:05:44
  Speaker 3: That's it. Yeah, you're gonna have to make that a
• 2:05:46
  Speaker 3: drop on your show. Now, it's the first round, you losers.
• 2:05:49
  Speaker 2: Means nothing, and it didn't mean anything of those teams,
• 2:05:55
  Speaker 2: absolutely zero.
• 2:05:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I know, that's that's a really good grievance.
• 2:05:59
  Speaker 6: I agree with you.
• 2:05:59
  Speaker 5: It's just too much like even like Utah fans will
• 2:06:03
  Speaker 5: appreciate this. If you go to a BYU football game,
• 2:06:07
  Speaker 5: between the third and fourth quarter, they do like this
• 2:06:10
  Speaker 5: whole firework display. It's impressive and it's cool, but there
• 2:06:14
  Speaker 5: does come a point where I'm like, hey, it's a
• 2:06:17
  Speaker 5: football game.
• 2:06:18
  Speaker 3: Can we play play some football?
• 2:06:20
  Speaker 5: I got Cosmo shooting out, you know, flames out of
• 2:06:23
  Speaker 5: his paws, Like what do we At some point I
• 2:06:25
  Speaker 5: get I'm in the minority here because people love a
• 2:06:27
  Speaker 5: good show. I just I just want to watch the kid.
• 2:06:31
  Speaker 2: The one thing about that can can you at least
• 2:06:33
  Speaker 2: get like him actually hitting the drum? Because have you
• 2:06:37
  Speaker 2: noticed this? He's like off time and the thing goes doom,
• 2:06:41
  Speaker 2: but he didn't actually hit it anyway, That's a that's
• 2:06:45
  Speaker 2: another story for another day. I've got a grievance surrounding
• 2:06:48
  Speaker 2: the super Bowl, specifically surrounding the way that it's currently
• 2:06:53
  Speaker 2: set up. We have two we have two weeks off
• 2:06:57
  Speaker 2: in between the AFC and NFC Championship game. Then you
• 2:07:01
  Speaker 2: have the Super Bowl and it's not even on President's
• 2:07:05
  Speaker 2: Day weekend. Give me the super Bowl on President's Day weekend,
• 2:07:08
  Speaker 2: moving forward, That's what I say. All Right, James, you said, uh,
• 2:07:13
  Speaker 2: we've got a caller on the line with a grievance.
• 2:07:18
  Speaker 2: I can't hear you. Sorry, perfect, all right, Alec, let's
• 2:07:31
  Speaker 2: hear it, Alec.
• 2:07:35
  Speaker 3: Am I on, yes, sir, you're on.
• 2:07:37
  Speaker 10: Okay, sorry, I couldn't hear you, guys. So I called
• 2:07:40
  Speaker 10: it like a week or two ago and told, oh,
• 2:07:43
  Speaker 10: see that one of my biggest grievances is when you're
• 2:07:47
  Speaker 10: in the sauna after the gym and some guy, usually
• 2:07:51
  Speaker 10: a guy, but some business man thinks city's it's important
• 2:07:55
  Speaker 10: enough to take a super.
• 2:07:59
  Speaker 3: Oh no, what did do?
• 2:08:01
  Speaker 10: He's closing some some deal, right, the encouragement to confront
• 2:08:09
  Speaker 10: this guy and tell him on behalf of all of
• 2:08:12
  Speaker 10: mankind that we don't need that. You're being obnoxious and
• 2:08:16
  Speaker 10: we don't need to hear masana. You're interrupting all of
• 2:08:19
  Speaker 10: us trying to relax or recover. And I told him
• 2:08:22
  Speaker 10: that the other day, keep the seed to take out
• 2:08:25
  Speaker 10: his AirPods and say really, and then I said, yep,
• 2:08:29
  Speaker 10: I'm taking on the apple with everybody in here. And
• 2:08:32
  Speaker 10: he walked out of the sun without saying a word.
• 2:08:34
  Speaker 10: So I am proud to announce that that problem and
• 2:08:38
  Speaker 10: that grievance is now solved. However, I swear it's a
• 2:08:42
  Speaker 10: new thing every day.
• 2:08:44
  Speaker 9: Now.
• 2:08:44
  Speaker 10: There is a married couple in there that is massaging
• 2:08:47
  Speaker 10: each other on the bench and it's like, guys, time
• 2:08:55
  Speaker 10: and place, what are we doing here.
• 2:08:58
  Speaker 5: First of all, I want to thank Alec on behalf
• 2:09:01
  Speaker 5: of all of society for telling that guy to get
• 2:09:03
  Speaker 5: out of it, to shut up. My second thing is
• 2:09:07
  Speaker 5: how attractive is the couple that's that's going to decide
• 2:09:11
  Speaker 5: my feeling on that one. If you had to pause, Alec,
• 2:09:17
  Speaker 5: that's all I needed to know, because if that's all
• 2:09:20
  Speaker 5: I needed.
• 2:09:20
  Speaker 10: To know, Yeah, we don't. Yeah, I'll I have a
• 2:09:25
  Speaker 10: great weekend.
• 2:09:25
  Speaker 6: Guy.
• 2:09:26
  Speaker 3: Appreciate you, Alec.
• 2:09:28
  Speaker 5: Listen, if they're two supermodels, you can do whatever you will.
• 2:09:31
  Speaker 5: You know, we'll all enjoy the show. I suppose if
• 2:09:34
  Speaker 5: it's you know, mon Pa from down the street, I
• 2:09:37
  Speaker 5: don't need to see that, am I. Oh, I'm saying
• 2:09:40
  Speaker 5: I'm getting a quiet like, oh, I'm way out about
• 2:09:42
  Speaker 5: You're right, No, I'm wrong.
• 2:09:44
  Speaker 2: I'm choosing to go the way of Alec here. I'm
• 2:09:47
  Speaker 2: pleading the fifth on that one.
• 2:09:48
  Speaker 4: So that was that was one of the best grievances
• 2:09:51
  Speaker 4: a couple of weeks ago, the most important business guy
• 2:09:55
  Speaker 4: business call in the sauna grievance, and I think Alec
• 2:09:59
  Speaker 4: just topped that with his with his uh confounding.
• 2:10:04
  Speaker 3: That's that was good.
• 2:10:06
  Speaker 4: Could you uh could you not do that and then
• 2:10:09
  Speaker 4: he doesn't even have a response, he just walks out.
• 2:10:12
  Speaker 3: It's amazing, that's phenomenal. Well, there you go, buddy. We're
• 2:10:14
  Speaker 3: gonna put that call somewhere else to my friend. Oh see,
• 2:10:16
  Speaker 3: if you're listening from Dubai, I hope you enjoyed that.
• 2:10:19
  Speaker 3: If not, I'll fill you in later. Yeah, that's you
• 2:10:21
  Speaker 3: could play it back for when he gets back.
• 2:10:23
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it's fantastic because this is the same These are
• 2:10:25
  Speaker 5: the same people that are talking on the telephone on
• 2:10:28
  Speaker 5: the train or the bus, or they're listening to the
• 2:10:31
  Speaker 5: grocery store. Yeah we speaker, yeah exactly, listening to music
• 2:10:35
  Speaker 5: with no with no headphones. I'm usually against the death penalty. However,
• 2:10:41
  Speaker 5: you're doing that. Look, you're doing that on public transit.
• 2:10:46
  Speaker 5: Just called the cops usually take taken away. I never
• 2:10:50
  Speaker 5: want to see that person again.
• 2:10:53
  Speaker 3: Immediate ejection from whatever moving vehicle they're in. Is that
• 2:10:58
  Speaker 3: what you're going for? That's fair.
• 2:11:00
  Speaker 4: There should be a jecked buttons that the bus driver
• 2:11:03
  Speaker 4: the driver has access to. Okay, seat three, you're out
• 2:11:06
  Speaker 4: of here.
• 2:11:09
  Speaker 3: All right, James. You got some marrying of grievances that
• 2:11:11
  Speaker 3: you would like to do over there.
• 2:11:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah, this is a super Bowl related one. I okay,
• 2:11:16
  Speaker 4: maybe it's unpopular, but the two weeks in between the
• 2:11:19
  Speaker 4: super Bowl, particularly the week of the Super Bowl, is
• 2:11:21
  Speaker 4: one of my least favorite week or two in sports
• 2:11:26
  Speaker 4: because we just talk things to death. Yes right, nationally,
• 2:11:31
  Speaker 4: especially here on the locally, there's there's usually a lot
• 2:11:34
  Speaker 4: more there's a lot of more stuff going on.
• 2:11:36
  Speaker 3: Locally.
• 2:11:37
  Speaker 4: We can give some variety, but national radio that all that.
• 2:11:40
  Speaker 4: They're only talking about the super Bowl, which is understandable,
• 2:11:44
  Speaker 4: but it's just the same thing over and over again.
• 2:11:46
  Speaker 4: And this year it's let's talk about the last play
• 2:11:50
  Speaker 4: when Russell Wilson was intercepted at the goal line and
• 2:11:53
  Speaker 4: they didn't hand the ball off to Marshawn Lynch.
• 2:11:55
  Speaker 3: Like Monday of each week, maybe maybe.
• 2:12:00
  Speaker 4: Today, the last show before the super Bowl, maybe maybe
• 2:12:04
  Speaker 4: you go down that way.
• 2:12:05
  Speaker 3: I don't even mind.
• 2:12:06
  Speaker 4: If you get a if you get Malcolm Butler on
• 2:12:10
  Speaker 4: as a guest and you talk about it as a
• 2:12:12
  Speaker 4: guest segment, that's a really good idea. But every day
• 2:12:16
  Speaker 4: bringing up, oh man, this is bad memories for the
• 2:12:20
  Speaker 4: Seahawks fans. This is gonna play like it's gonna play
• 2:12:24
  Speaker 4: a role in this game, by the way, that was
• 2:12:26
  Speaker 4: eleven years ago. Second, nobody on the team. I think
• 2:12:31
  Speaker 4: Josh McDaniels is the only guy on either team who
• 2:12:36
  Speaker 4: was involved.
• 2:12:36
  Speaker 6: In that game.
• 2:12:37
  Speaker 4: Wow, And he was not, Like the Patriots were on
• 2:12:41
  Speaker 4: defense in that game, so it's not even he was.
• 2:12:44
  Speaker 4: So I don't think anyone on the field cares about
• 2:12:48
  Speaker 4: what happened eleven years ago. The only common denominator, like
• 2:12:53
  Speaker 4: I said, is Josh McDaniels and the fans of each team.
• 2:12:56
  Speaker 4: And you know what, I think both fan bases are
• 2:12:58
  Speaker 4: probably tired of hearing about it at this point, like's
• 2:13:00
  Speaker 4: can we do?
• 2:13:01
  Speaker 3: We have to do? We have to keep talking about
• 2:13:04
  Speaker 3: that as I bring it up.
• 2:13:06
  Speaker 2: I agree with you on that one, but I do
• 2:13:07
  Speaker 2: think it was pretty funny that someone asked Sam Darnold
• 2:13:10
  Speaker 2: what he would do with thirty seconds left, no timeouts
• 2:13:13
  Speaker 2: on the one yard line, and then he proceeded to
• 2:13:15
  Speaker 2: say he would throw the football.
• 2:13:17
  Speaker 3: That was pretty fun.
• 2:13:18
  Speaker 5: Quick slant, I throw a quick slant. I know it's
• 2:13:21
  Speaker 5: funny you bring that up about those national people having
• 2:13:23
  Speaker 5: to talk about it for two weeks. We had Evan
• 2:13:25
  Speaker 5: Cohen on our morning show and we started He's like,
• 2:13:29
  Speaker 5: please let's talk about the jazz this trade. So we
• 2:13:31
  Speaker 5: talked about the jazz like fifteen minutes, and then we
• 2:13:33
  Speaker 5: got to ask you about the super Bowl and he's like, oh,
• 2:13:35
  Speaker 5: do we have to?
• 2:13:37
  Speaker 3: So he was done. He was so sick of it.
• 2:13:39
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 2:13:39
  Speaker 3: He and only been in San Francisco for three hours.
• 2:13:42
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and he's like, all right, they've been about it
• 2:13:44
  Speaker 5: for four hours every morning for like two weeks. It's
• 2:13:47
  Speaker 5: It's true. We have some good grievance. Do we have
• 2:13:49
  Speaker 5: the text line pulled up? Somebody coming after you? Bryce
• 2:13:52
  Speaker 5: coming after me? Yeah, on the text line. And I
• 2:13:53
  Speaker 5: got to be honestly, I may agree with him. You
• 2:13:55
  Speaker 5: want do you want to read it, Jordan?
• 2:13:57
  Speaker 6: Or you want you?
• 2:13:58
  Speaker 4: Go ahead, James, Okay, let's see it's it. Let's see
• 2:14:02
  Speaker 4: if I can find Oh, here we go, Derek from
• 2:14:04
  Speaker 4: Murray grievance against Bryce. How much does a person not
• 2:14:08
  Speaker 4: watch any movies? Seriously? What kind of sociopath are you?
• 2:14:13
  Speaker 3: I get? Not watching many but not watching any period?
• 2:14:17
  Speaker 3: How is that possible? It's it's not any period. Jordan
• 2:14:20
  Speaker 3: might have embellished that a little bit. It's not any period.
• 2:14:25
  Speaker 3: It's a solid ten to fifteen.
• 2:14:27
  Speaker 5: You've seen ten to fifteen movies.
• 2:14:29
  Speaker 2: No, it's probably more than that, yeah, fifteen to twenty five, okay,
• 2:14:35
  Speaker 2: more as of late.
• 2:14:36
  Speaker 3: To all right, yeah, oh man, I know.
• 2:14:39
  Speaker 5: I think Derek makes a great point because that's the
• 2:14:41
  Speaker 5: term I used when I found that out.
• 2:14:42
  Speaker 3: I said, I think you might be a sociopath.
• 2:14:45
  Speaker 2: Okay, so what do we Here's the thing, though, what
• 2:14:47
  Speaker 2: are we defining his movie? Because it depends on what
• 2:14:50
  Speaker 2: head on your definition?
• 2:14:51
  Speaker 1: Here?
• 2:14:52
  Speaker 2: Okay, let's see, he explained, because I do watch a
• 2:14:55
  Speaker 2: lot of documentaries, do those count as movies?
• 2:14:58
  Speaker 6: They do?
• 2:14:58
  Speaker 3: But but we're talking about narrow Okay, then then we're
• 2:15:01
  Speaker 3: on the same page here. Yeah. Yeah, as a film
• 2:15:03
  Speaker 3: narrative film minor.
• 2:15:04
  Speaker 4: And that's the perfect He's the perfect guy to give
• 2:15:06
  Speaker 4: us a distinction between documentaries because.
• 2:15:10
  Speaker 2: That's I watched documentaries. I don't watch a lot of
• 2:15:12
  Speaker 2: narrative films that actually have like those stories fiction.
• 2:15:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's that's and that's interesting.
• 2:15:18
  Speaker 5: You should watch documentaries are great, but it's that's usually
• 2:15:21
  Speaker 5: the opposite with people.
• 2:15:23
  Speaker 3: But you should watch both. Honestly, I mean I do
• 2:15:26
  Speaker 3: watch both.
• 2:15:27
  Speaker 4: I I in particular, only watch based on a true
• 2:15:30
  Speaker 4: story fictional movie.
• 2:15:31
  Speaker 3: So that's that's both. Don't call me out like that.
• 2:15:38
  Speaker 4: Okay, okay, I have to read this next one first
• 2:15:41
  Speaker 4: here because it has to do with me. So did
• 2:15:44
  Speaker 4: you guys hear it was last week? Did you did
• 2:15:48
  Speaker 4: you tune into the show? During area of grievances that
• 2:15:50
  Speaker 4: we had, we had a texture quote piggyback off of
• 2:15:54
  Speaker 4: me and then say something I didn't say, This texture
• 2:15:58
  Speaker 4: is coming back. He's he's it's kind of me at Coulpa.
• 2:16:01
  Speaker 4: So here, here's what happened. I took last Thursday off
• 2:16:05
  Speaker 4: because I had to. I had to stay home with
• 2:16:07
  Speaker 4: the boy he was sick. Wife had to work, as
• 2:16:12
  Speaker 4: she does every day, but she had something in particular
• 2:16:14
  Speaker 4: she couldn't miss at work that day. So I played
• 2:16:18
  Speaker 4: dad for the day. And I said, by the way,
• 2:16:20
  Speaker 4: doing that so much better than work. And then I
• 2:16:23
  Speaker 4: started to talk about something else sports related, right this
• 2:16:29
  Speaker 4: texter said piggybacking off of James, and then and then
• 2:16:32
  Speaker 4: started to say being a mother is or being a
• 2:16:37
  Speaker 4: stay at home parent is so much is so much
• 2:16:40
  Speaker 4: easier than being a working parent, which I did not sell.
• 2:16:46
  Speaker 4: And now Spence and opens in particular uh says likes
• 2:16:50
  Speaker 4: to comes on every day and says, uh, update, update, James,
• 2:16:55
  Speaker 4: you still against motherhood, So so this texture a little
• 2:16:58
  Speaker 4: maya colpa, which I appreciate even some people who used
• 2:17:01
  Speaker 4: terms like circle back or piggyback incorrectly me I am
• 2:17:06
  Speaker 4: that person.
• 2:17:06
  Speaker 3: Sorry, James. I'm sure you wish I'd never text the
• 2:17:10
  Speaker 3: show again. Haha.
• 2:17:11
  Speaker 4: I'm just a blue collar simpleton who never used the
• 2:17:14
  Speaker 4: term before first time ever said it. I completely missed
• 2:17:17
  Speaker 4: the proper usage and unintentionally drug you down into my
• 2:17:20
  Speaker 4: sexist creevance of last week. So I appreciate the apology.
• 2:17:24
  Speaker 3: Texter. Uh we we've had a lot of fun with it,
• 2:17:28
  Speaker 3: so don't don't be too hard on yourself there. But
• 2:17:31
  Speaker 3: there you go. That's a little callback from last week.
• 2:17:34
  Speaker 5: But I disagreed in the first hour when you said
• 2:17:37
  Speaker 5: people who take care of children are lazy. I thought
• 2:17:40
  Speaker 5: that I thought that was not you.
• 2:17:42
  Speaker 3: Now, not you too, Jordan. You know what I said.
• 2:17:46
  Speaker 4: You know I told Spence on air, You're not going
• 2:17:48
  Speaker 4: to turn me into Harrison, Butker you aren't either. Jordan, Okay,
• 2:17:52
  Speaker 4: you're not gonna You're not gonna do that. You make
• 2:17:55
  Speaker 4: people think I'm that guy.
• 2:17:56
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 2:17:57
  Speaker 4: Excited for new Jazz grievance. My grievance is having to
• 2:18:01
  Speaker 4: wait till next year to see them actually try to
• 2:18:03
  Speaker 4: win games.
• 2:18:04
  Speaker 3: I think we all share that one.
• 2:18:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, just although I do want to see him keep
• 2:18:08
  Speaker 2: that top eight protected pick.
• 2:18:10
  Speaker 3: That's the thing I can cheer for some losses right now.
• 2:18:14
  Speaker 3: See OC's pushed back hard on me on this.
• 2:18:18
  Speaker 4: With this, I am nervous that they're not going to
• 2:18:23
  Speaker 4: be able to now that they I know that Jaron
• 2:18:26
  Speaker 4: Jackson Junior is gonna conveniently, they're gonna come up with
• 2:18:28
  Speaker 4: some kind of nagging injuries for reasons to load manage
• 2:18:31
  Speaker 4: him the rest of the year. But I just this
• 2:18:34
  Speaker 4: makes me nervous that and I don't know if Jaron
• 2:18:36
  Speaker 4: Jackson Junior is the star you should get to then
• 2:18:39
  Speaker 4: to then give the defending champions your top ten pick
• 2:18:42
  Speaker 4: if you're gonna, if you're gonna jeopardize that, which this
• 2:18:46
  Speaker 4: is not realistic at all, But if you're gonna jeopardize that,
• 2:18:48
  Speaker 4: get Yannis right like you don't get Jared Jackson Junior
• 2:18:53
  Speaker 4: is is probably not the juice, is probably not worth
• 2:18:55
  Speaker 4: the squeeze.
• 2:18:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah for that guy.
• 2:18:57
  Speaker 4: If you're then not gonna if you're then gonna give
• 2:18:59
  Speaker 4: your pick to the ending champions.
• 2:19:00
  Speaker 3: But maybe it'll work out and it doesn't matter.
• 2:19:03
  Speaker 6: I don't know.
• 2:19:03
  Speaker 3: I'm all in on the tank.
• 2:19:04
  Speaker 2: I'm all in on watching Cody Williams go out there
• 2:19:07

  Speaker 4: Yeah, something like that, and it goes up from like
• 2:20:28
  Speaker 4: thirty something million to like fifty million next season, I
• 2:20:32
  Speaker 4: think his extension kicks in.
• 2:20:34
  Speaker 3: So yeah, yeah, well I think I don't know.
• 2:20:37
  Speaker 2: I'm part of the party that thinks that this pick
• 2:20:42
  Speaker 2: is going to decide the future of this new group
• 2:20:45
  Speaker 2: and what they decide to do in that front office.
• 2:20:48
  Speaker 2: So you got to keep it because this draft class
• 2:20:50
  Speaker 2: is stacked too. You could find a superstar in this
• 2:20:55
  Speaker 2: draft if it falls to the right team, that's it,
• 2:20:57
  Speaker 2: in the right situation, could you.
• 2:21:00
  Speaker 3: I think that you're in the running right there at least.
• 2:21:03
  Speaker 4: A really good rotational player at somewhere farther back like
• 2:21:08
  Speaker 4: that on under the top eight, and the Jazz still
• 2:21:12
  Speaker 4: need those guys, like they've got maybe a starting lineup
• 2:21:15
  Speaker 4: figured out, and maybe the starting lineup gets even better
• 2:21:17
  Speaker 4: if they it will if they get if this pick
• 2:21:20
  Speaker 4: balls in the top three Darren Peterson, AJ Debonsa whatever,
• 2:21:24
  Speaker 4: I don't think. I think Cam Boozer is. I think
• 2:21:26
  Speaker 4: it's safe to say he's out of play right, being
• 2:21:28
  Speaker 4: another big man, I don't know if he fits. But
• 2:21:32
  Speaker 4: but Debonsa Peterson, if you get the number one pick
• 2:21:35
  Speaker 4: somehow or top three pick, the starting lineup gets potentially
• 2:21:40
  Speaker 4: even better. But you get five, six, seven, eight, you
• 2:21:45
  Speaker 4: could get a really good player who's just a big
• 2:21:47
  Speaker 4: part of your rotation too. So that's the other part
• 2:21:50
  Speaker 4: of what's like. But the main thing is you do
• 2:21:53
  Speaker 4: not want the Oklahoma City Thunder to have a chance
• 2:21:56
  Speaker 4: at that player. Yeah, if it was if this Nick,
• 2:22:00
  Speaker 4: if this pick was going to like the Orlando Magic,
• 2:22:03
  Speaker 4: it'd be like, Okay, we got Jared Jackson junior. Shoot,
• 2:22:06
  Speaker 4: we didn't get that pick. It's going to the defending champions.
• 2:22:09
  Speaker 4: You cannot give them another top ten.
• 2:22:11
  Speaker 3: Player, right. I don't even know where they would put
• 2:22:14
  Speaker 3: that top ten player. Yeah, especially they just draft, They
• 2:22:17
  Speaker 3: just traded for Jared McCain. They're just they just keep
• 2:22:20
  Speaker 3: getting more stucky.
• 2:22:21
  Speaker 5: So so my question is how does the new CBA
• 2:22:23
  Speaker 5: affect them being able to keep all these guys though
• 2:22:26
  Speaker 5: in Oklahoma City.
• 2:22:28
  Speaker 3: That's a good question that's going to need to get
• 2:22:30
  Speaker 3: a capologist on the answer.
• 2:22:31
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they're probably gonna have to choose between Alex Caruso
• 2:22:35
  Speaker 4: and Lou Dort soon. They're probably not gonna be able
• 2:22:38
  Speaker 4: to keep guys like that who are kind of redundant
• 2:22:40
  Speaker 4: in their position, who are also very valuable, but then
• 2:22:43
  Speaker 4: they keep but then they keep drafting or trading for
• 2:22:46
  Speaker 4: guys like Caseon Wallace, Jared McCain, who's been a pretty
• 2:22:49
  Speaker 4: good two way player. It's like, we're doing this so
• 2:22:53
  Speaker 4: that we can afford to we can still be really
• 2:22:56
  Speaker 4: competitive even when we have.
• 2:22:57
  Speaker 3: To choose between those guys.
• 2:22:58
  Speaker 6: I think.
• 2:22:58
  Speaker 3: I think Sam Presty's just making brilliant moves once again.
• 2:23:03
  Speaker 2: I think so that's where the Jazz find themselves right
• 2:23:06
  Speaker 2: at this moment, all right? Is that it for the
• 2:23:08
  Speaker 2: airing aggrievances? We're all done.
• 2:23:09
  Speaker 4: You've got uh, you got one that's not a grievance,
• 2:23:12
  Speaker 4: but I think it's worth bringing to air two. Uh,
• 2:23:16
  Speaker 4: just pointing Darren from West Jordan or resident Byu fan,
• 2:23:19
  Speaker 4: shout out to Okay, shout out to the resident Bayu fan.
• 2:23:24
  Speaker 3: Not really agreements.
• 2:23:25
  Speaker 4: Just pointing out the fact that Lindsay Vaughn is more
• 2:23:27
  Speaker 4: of a badass than any of the than any of
• 2:23:29
  Speaker 4: the current NBA players playing basketball today, absolutely no.
• 2:23:32
  Speaker 2: Load management, even more than the Darren Peterson kid at Kansas.
• 2:23:37
  Speaker 5: Yeah, what's a that's a whole other could go three
• 2:23:39
  Speaker 5: hours on what's going on there?
• 2:23:42
  Speaker 6: All right? That?
• 2:23:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a good point. Okay.

• 2:26:27
  Speaker 3: I'm good.
• 2:26:27
  Speaker 8: I'm still a little disappointed after I heard James say
• 2:26:30
  Speaker 8: that women who shoulder show their shoulders and public are
• 2:26:34
  Speaker 8: being suggestive.
• 2:26:36
  Speaker 3: We have an update on this.
• 2:26:37
  Speaker 8: Wait, wait, I just it's it's it continues to disappoint
• 2:26:40
  Speaker 8: me that I have a coworker who just believes that
• 2:26:43
  Speaker 8: women should really never leave the home. And you know,
• 2:26:47
  Speaker 8: I like James. He's a nice guy, and so I'm
• 2:26:49
  Speaker 8: just still digesting. Yeah, you know, I could see that
• 2:26:53
  Speaker 8: the news. But year is twenty twenty six. Yeah, I mean,
• 2:26:55
  Speaker 8: let's right, James, Is that all right?
• 2:26:57
  Speaker 3: All right, Spitz, let me read you. Let me read you.
• 2:27:02
  Speaker 3: The a grievance that we got from the same texture
• 2:27:04
  Speaker 3: to me turned this.
• 2:27:05
  Speaker 4: Into grievance of people who use terms like circle back
• 2:27:11
  Speaker 4: or piggyback incorrectly.
• 2:27:13
  Speaker 3: Me, I am that person. I'm sorry, James. Okay, okay,
• 2:27:17
  Speaker 3: you hear this.
• 2:27:18
  Speaker 4: I'm sorry, he says, I'm sure you wish I'd never
• 2:27:21
  Speaker 4: text the show again. I'm just a blue collar simpleton
• 2:27:23
  Speaker 4: who's never used the term before. First time I ever
• 2:27:26
  Speaker 4: said it. I completely missed the proper usage and unintentionally
• 2:27:29
  Speaker 4: drug you into my sexist grievance last week. I did
• 2:27:33
  Speaker 4: not text that end. To be clear, I love it.
• 2:27:35
  Speaker 4: It was the same guy just happens to be James Peterson.
• 2:27:39
  Speaker 8: But does this mean that you are now going to
• 2:27:43
  Speaker 8: buy your wife her own cell phone?
• 2:27:46
  Speaker 3: I'm to really prove it.
• 2:27:48
  Speaker 8: See, I'm the worst with this stuff. I'll never let
• 2:27:51
  Speaker 8: it die. Love you, James, You're my guy.
• 2:27:53
  Speaker 3: Hey, how are you?
• 2:27:53
  Speaker 8: We're doing good today? We're doing good, good, good job.
• 2:27:56
  Speaker 8: I was driving around quite a bit today. You guys
• 2:27:58
  Speaker 8: knocked out of the park. Good show to thank you
• 2:28:00
  Speaker 8: very much.
• 2:28:01
  Speaker 2: I have a question for you. Your time working at
• 2:28:03
  Speaker 2: the Delta Center Winter Olympics. Here, Apollo Ono, you got
• 2:28:07
  Speaker 2: to witness the greatness and we've never seen anything like
• 2:28:11
  Speaker 2: it again in speeds Againty, what was that like?
• 2:28:13
  Speaker 3: To be able to witness it?
• 2:28:14
  Speaker 8: He was unbelievably difficult to work with as an individual,
• 2:28:17
  Speaker 8: really because he was like this, if you guys remember,
• 2:28:20
  Speaker 8: I mean how you guys are youngs right how in
• 2:28:23
  Speaker 8: two thousand and two, sixth grade and five was five
• 2:28:27
  Speaker 8: years old, so you probably don't have a ton of
• 2:28:29
  Speaker 8: memories of the two thousand and two Games. He was like,
• 2:28:32
  Speaker 8: not just the best speed skater, he was like the
• 2:28:34
  Speaker 8: biggest star of the of the Olympic Games.
• 2:28:37
  Speaker 3: And he knew it.
• 2:28:37
  Speaker 8: And one of our jobs with the CSSE side was
• 2:28:40
  Speaker 8: security to make sure the athletes were taken care of
• 2:28:43
  Speaker 8: as they were going through. Uh we called it the
• 2:28:45
  Speaker 8: Kissing cry Zone back then. I don't know if they
• 2:28:47
  Speaker 8: still call it that. And we had figure skating there
• 2:28:50
  Speaker 8: as well, and of course figure skaters oftentimes become the
• 2:28:54
  Speaker 8: biggest stars of the Olympic Games, but it was by
• 2:28:57
  Speaker 8: far Apollo Anton.
• 2:28:59
  Speaker 6: Now.
• 2:29:00
  Speaker 8: Watching him do what he did was awesome because if
• 2:29:03
  Speaker 8: you've never seen speed skating up close, you're watching, you're
• 2:29:06
  Speaker 8: like they're going to die at any moment because they're
• 2:29:08
  Speaker 8: so close to each other, and it's there's so much force,
• 2:29:12
  Speaker 8: and when they crash, they're crashing into the boards, right.
• 2:29:15
  Speaker 8: So it was unbelievably impressive to watch him execute his craft.
• 2:29:20
  Speaker 3: But when it was time for one.
• 2:29:21
  Speaker 8: Of us to go get him to get interviewed or
• 2:29:24
  Speaker 8: meet fans, we were like drawing straws, like, dude, nobody
• 2:29:27
  Speaker 8: wants to mess with this guy because he just and look,
• 2:29:30
  Speaker 8: he was young, and in the years since he has
• 2:29:33
  Speaker 8: done a lot of commentary and you know, so I
• 2:29:36
  Speaker 8: don't want to, like, I don't know, I'm insufferable, and
• 2:29:39
  Speaker 8: I'm in my mid forties and I'm a radio host.
• 2:29:41
  Speaker 8: If I was twenty one years old and the biggest
• 2:29:43
  Speaker 8: star of the Games, I probably would have been hard
• 2:29:45
  Speaker 8: to deal with as well.
• 2:29:46
  Speaker 3: So you know, I think as he's aged, you've seen
• 2:29:49
  Speaker 3: a more mature side of him.
• 2:29:51
  Speaker 8: But you know, again, very impressive athlete, but a really
• 2:29:55
  Speaker 8: difficult person for us to work with when he wasn't skating.
• 2:29:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, it's a really cool story.
• 2:30:00
  Speaker 2: And since then, like I said, there's been nobody that's
• 2:30:03
  Speaker 2: come in in the speed skating game that's been even
• 2:30:06
  Speaker 2: close to what he was, and so that just shows
• 2:30:08
  Speaker 2: you how incredible his run was.
• 2:30:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah, No, it was awesome. It was a really fun thing.
• 2:30:13
  Speaker 3: It was a lot of work.
• 2:30:15
  Speaker 8: We had to do one everyone had to do one
• 2:30:17
  Speaker 8: twenty four hour shift a week, so there was one
• 2:30:20
  Speaker 8: day where I was literally up for twenty four hours
• 2:30:22
  Speaker 8: every single week. It was a lot of work, but
• 2:30:24
  Speaker 8: it was really rewarding because look, I'll stand up for
• 2:30:28
  Speaker 8: salt Lake all day every day. I mean, I grew
• 2:30:30
  Speaker 8: up back East. I'm really the only one of my
• 2:30:32
  Speaker 8: friends that ended up out in this part of the country.
• 2:30:34
  Speaker 8: You have another buddy who lived in Boulder for a while,
• 2:30:37
  Speaker 8: and I still to this day. If I go home
• 2:30:39
  Speaker 8: for Christmas or we have our thirty year high school
• 2:30:41
  Speaker 8: reunion coming up, everyone's like, why are you still there?
• 2:30:44
  Speaker 8: Why aren't you moving back?
• 2:30:45
  Speaker 3: My kids? Good living?
• 2:30:46
  Speaker 8: You know, like come out and see it, and if
• 2:30:48
  Speaker 8: they ever do, they get it. But I was just
• 2:30:50
  Speaker 8: really proud of the way Salt Lake showed itself to
• 2:30:53
  Speaker 8: the world during the Games. It just to be a
• 2:30:55
  Speaker 8: small part of it was something that's still to the
• 2:30:56
  Speaker 8: ZAM really proud of. All Right, there, you go before
• 2:31:00
  Speaker 8: we sign off and whatnot. I do have to ask
• 2:31:02
  Speaker 8: you this news coming out of the West Athletic Conference
• 2:31:05
  Speaker 8: Utah Valley University.
• 2:31:06
  Speaker 3: Now I've got to ask you guys be a me first.
• 2:31:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but I want to I want to get your
• 2:31:10
  Speaker 2: thoughts on just from an outsider's perspective of what you've heard,
• 2:31:12
  Speaker 2: because I want to know what the narrative is because
• 2:31:14
  Speaker 2: I'm like in the middle of it, so I know
• 2:31:16
  Speaker 2: a little bit more the outsider's perspective.
• 2:31:19
  Speaker 3: Where do you place the blame in this situation?
• 2:31:21
  Speaker 2: You ta valid being sued by the WHACK for a
• 2:31:23
  Speaker 2: million dollars in an exit feed not being eligible for
• 2:31:25
  Speaker 2: the postseason.
• 2:31:26
  Speaker 3: So I'm coming at this with very little education.
• 2:31:28
  Speaker 8: I actually wanted to talk to you guys about it,
• 2:31:30
  Speaker 8: but we did hit on it yesterday with our UH
• 2:31:33
  Speaker 8: We do a sports court segment with a couple of lawyers,
• 2:31:36
  Speaker 8: Garrett and Pressed in Handy, and they're really smart and
• 2:31:38
  Speaker 8: oftentimes it's helpful for me to bring them on to
• 2:31:41
  Speaker 8: learn exactly what's going on. And Garrett said something interesting like,
• 2:31:46
  Speaker 8: I think Florida State, if they were to exit the
• 2:31:49
  Speaker 8: ACC is on the hook for like two hundred and
• 2:31:52
  Speaker 8: fifty million or something like that, right, So when I
• 2:31:54
  Speaker 8: hear a million bucks, I'm like to just pay it
• 2:31:56
  Speaker 8: and get out. You know, That's kind of my reaction.
• 2:31:59
  Speaker 8: It doesn't feel like it's a lot of money. But
• 2:32:01
  Speaker 8: I'm not the one in charge. And I know UVU
• 2:32:05
  Speaker 8: has grown a lot, and I my son's are proud
• 2:32:07
  Speaker 8: UVU alum, so I.
• 2:32:08
  Speaker 3: Want to see that.
• 2:32:09
  Speaker 8: And obviously Kyle's not there anymore, but Beckerman's my guy,
• 2:32:12
  Speaker 8: so you know, I know the team is good. I've
• 2:32:15
  Speaker 8: been able to watch them a little bit here or there,
• 2:32:17
  Speaker 8: and that's what's such a like could be one thing
• 2:32:19
  Speaker 8: if they were winning four or five games this year,
• 2:32:21
  Speaker 8: but that a chance to go to the tournament. So
• 2:32:23
  Speaker 8: without again, without the education that you guys have, my
• 2:32:26
  Speaker 8: gut reaction was like, right the check and get out.
• 2:32:29
  Speaker 6: Man.
• 2:32:29
  Speaker 3: That's just that's where I'm at with it.
• 2:32:31
  Speaker 2: Well, the biggest portion to remember about all this, Utah
• 2:32:33
  Speaker 2: Valley doesn't have football in their athletic department, so it's
• 2:32:36
  Speaker 2: not like they can schedule a game at BYU, get
• 2:32:38
  Speaker 2: their million and a half and get out of there
• 2:32:40
  Speaker 2: right right for the exit fees. So that's the biggest thing.
• 2:32:42
  Speaker 2: The basketball team in the Ken Palm ratings and the
• 2:32:45
  Speaker 2: net ratings has gotten too good that they're in that
• 2:32:47
  Speaker 2: middle ground where no one wants to schedule them right
• 2:32:50
  Speaker 2: right and nobody will play them at home, so they
• 2:32:52
  Speaker 2: can't even bring people in. So they also have that
• 2:32:54
  Speaker 2: problem they can't get enough buy games to make up
• 2:32:56
  Speaker 2: that money. What you need to know is a lot
• 2:32:58
  Speaker 2: of athletic departments across you're running a deficit.
• 2:33:01
  Speaker 3: Sure, so most of them do.
• 2:33:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, So if you don't think that that's happening currently,
• 2:33:06
  Speaker 2: then you add in the extra scrutiny of the state
• 2:33:08
  Speaker 2: of Utah on public universities currently and what they're going through.
• 2:33:13
  Speaker 2: That kind of adds up to a recipe of yeah,
• 2:33:15
  Speaker 2: you know, it might not be there right now. And
• 2:33:18
  Speaker 2: so there's also another backstory to all of this where
• 2:33:21
  Speaker 2: you see what's happening with the Mount West Conference, Utah State,
• 2:33:24
  Speaker 2: Boise State.
• 2:33:26
  Speaker 3: It's there.
• 2:33:27
  Speaker 2: The whack is leaning on bylaws saying if you don't
• 2:33:29
  Speaker 2: pay us, this is what happens, and people are like
• 2:33:31
  Speaker 2: the WACs find to do that. There's a lot of
• 2:33:34
  Speaker 2: things behind the scenes. I think Utah Valley might be
• 2:33:37
  Speaker 2: standing on the fact that other teams in the conference
• 2:33:39
  Speaker 2: that are leaving got their NCAA payouts. Oh okay, UVU,
• 2:33:44
  Speaker 2: from what I've heard, allegedly has not gotten their payouts
• 2:33:49
  Speaker 2: this conversation. The other thing is is that I go
• 2:33:52
  Speaker 2: back to the Mountain West Conference conversation. The Mountain West
• 2:33:55
  Speaker 2: Conference isn't leaving Utah State and Boise State off of
• 2:33:58
  Speaker 2: their media products. They're not taking their TV away, They're
• 2:34:01
  Speaker 2: not doing I think this is a situation where the
• 2:34:03
  Speaker 2: whack thinks they can bowly a school that has quote
• 2:34:05
  Speaker 2: unquote less resources.
• 2:34:08
  Speaker 3: And that's where we're at right now. With all of that.
• 2:34:09
  Speaker 8: All that's and I knew zero of it, right And
• 2:34:13
  Speaker 8: you know, your point about football as well taken, because
• 2:34:16
  Speaker 8: I mean, look, even a lot of the school University
• 2:34:18
  Speaker 8: of Utah football program parenially ranked in the top ten
• 2:34:22
  Speaker 8: fifteen thirty two million dollar operating but.
• 2:34:26
  Speaker 3: You know, budget deficit. They're on the whole. That's why
• 2:34:28
  Speaker 3: they're signing this private equity deal. So I don't know,
• 2:34:31
  Speaker 3: I mean I don't.
• 2:34:32
  Speaker 8: I also don't know enough about the UVU alumni base,
• 2:34:36
  Speaker 8: whether or not they've got a Cookie bro or a
• 2:34:38
  Speaker 8: Swig Soda CEO that can write a check.
• 2:34:42
  Speaker 3: I just feel bad for the team.
• 2:34:44
  Speaker 8: I feel bad for the coaches and players, like if
• 2:34:46
  Speaker 8: they're gonna play their way into a deserved spot in
• 2:34:49
  Speaker 8: the tournament and to have that taken away, that's Look,
• 2:34:52
  Speaker 8: you know, I never played for anything that matter, but
• 2:34:54
  Speaker 8: I can tell you as a high school basketball player,
• 2:34:56
  Speaker 8: all I did was dream about playing in the NCAA Tournament.
• 2:34:59
  Speaker 8: When I got my first dipod, this is going to
• 2:35:01
  Speaker 8: age me. You were able to download every single one
• 2:35:05
  Speaker 8: shining moment on it, and I used to watch all
• 2:35:07
  Speaker 8: of them and listen to all of them and picture
• 2:35:09
  Speaker 8: myself like playing for BYU or Utah or some school,
• 2:35:12
  Speaker 8: and like playing in the Tournament's what you dream of
• 2:35:14
  Speaker 8: if you're a basketball player. And the fact that these
• 2:35:16
  Speaker 8: kids are right there on the precipice. And the other thing,
• 2:35:19
  Speaker 8: one of my favorite things about the NCAA Tournament is
• 2:35:21
  Speaker 8: seeing the lives of coaches change overnight. Yeah, if you
• 2:35:26
  Speaker 8: coach UVU, you go to the tournament, you win a game,
• 2:35:28
  Speaker 8: Saint John's'll call you yeah or something like that, right,
• 2:35:30
  Speaker 8: and suddenly you live in a completely different ecosystem in
• 2:35:33
  Speaker 8: the world. So you're taking the opportunity away from the
• 2:35:36
  Speaker 8: UVU coaches as well. So I hope they figure something out.
• 2:35:38
  Speaker 2: Right, Well, Mark Manson obviously right was this close and
• 2:35:42
  Speaker 2: then he didn't even have to make the tournament.
• 2:35:43
  Speaker 3: Right count No, exactly.
• 2:35:45
  Speaker 8: So it's an opportunity for these players and coaches to
• 2:35:49
  Speaker 8: showcase themselves and it could change their lives. A scout
• 2:35:51
  Speaker 8: is watching the tournament game and says, who's this kid
• 2:35:54
  Speaker 8: at on Uvu? Like, okay, I worked for the Grizzlies.
• 2:35:57
  Speaker 8: Maybe he's not drafted. Let's an Invitamin A camp, he
• 2:35:59
  Speaker 8: makes it team and suddenly his life changes.
• 2:36:01
  Speaker 6: Exactly.
• 2:36:01
  Speaker 3: That's how this ecosystem works. So they deserve the.
• 2:36:03
  Speaker 2: Chance and Whack knows that. So they're using this leverage. Yeah, yeah,
• 2:36:07
  Speaker 2: so unfortunate. Well we'll see what ends up happening. Spence,
• 2:36:10
  Speaker 2: have a good show. What's coming up on the drive?
• 2:36:13
  Speaker 3: Oh man?

• 2:36:24

• 2:36:49
  Speaker 2: Are you telling me you're getting hate dms?
• 2:36:50
  Speaker 8: Oh my gosh every time. So for a while, Prize
• 2:36:54
  Speaker 8: Picks is like, okay, you got to put your picks
• 2:36:55
  Speaker 8: out on social. I'm like, hey, I'm not going to
• 2:36:58
  Speaker 8: do research to know whether or not Hunter Henry is
• 2:37:00
  Speaker 8: going to catch more than four passers.
• 2:37:01
  Speaker 3: I don't give a rip.
• 2:37:03
  Speaker 8: And b people are going to look at my picks
• 2:37:06
  Speaker 8: on social and be like, okay, I should do that.
• 2:37:08
  Speaker 8: They're gonna lose money, they're gonna get mad at me,
• 2:37:10
  Speaker 8: which happens every single time. So now the new Prize
• 2:37:13
  Speaker 8: Picks campaign is every host has to share their picks.
• 2:37:16
  Speaker 3: So we will be doing that for entertainment purposes only.
