Transcript
- 0:03Speaker 1: Alright, alright, you're alive from Philly. It's the number one
- 0:09Speaker 1: rated poly and Don't Fools show, Holly Fools Go here
- 0:15Speaker 1: with Tony Fools Go and Tony. You know, we come
- 0:19Speaker 1: into the show today unfortunately on a bum note, the
- 0:23Speaker 1: down note. If you will, you know, uh, you know,
- 0:26Speaker 1: sugarcoat things. We're gonna let you behind the curtain people,
- 0:30Speaker 1: you know, unlike on you know ESPN there with the
- 0:33Speaker 1: high gloss and the HD makeup and they're outside the lines.
- 0:36Speaker 1: B as you know, we we take you inside, behind
- 0:40Speaker 1: the ropes, behind the curtain to show you how the
- 0:43Speaker 1: sausage gets made, don't we, Tony, Yeah, we give you
- 0:47Speaker 1: an education on this show. Yeah. You know, like last
- 0:50Speaker 1: week we had a bit of a I guess technical
- 0:53Speaker 1: issue you would say, with the Michael Lombardi's brain former
- 0:57Speaker 1: NFL GM Michael Lombardi, who apparently didn't know that he
- 1:02Speaker 1: was supposed to be on video for a show that
- 1:04Speaker 1: has millions of viewers. Somehow he forgot that detail. Yeah,
- 1:09Speaker 1: he didn't know how to read camera on and push
- 1:12Speaker 1: the button. Yeah. Yeah, and then you know we thought
- 1:14Speaker 1: that was gonna be the worst disaster, but no, then
- 1:17Speaker 1: you know, we had Nick Foles booked as usual, but
- 1:20Speaker 1: unfortunately he had to cancel due to being in traction
- 1:24Speaker 1: in the hospital. So totally understandable. So we turned to
- 1:29Speaker 1: what we thought would be the next best thing. Another
- 1:33Speaker 1: Eagles quarterback, Donovan McNabb, agreed. He did a great tony
- 1:39Speaker 1: to be on the show, and he said he could
- 1:42Speaker 1: record at the time of Tuesday at eight pm Eastern. Now,
- 1:47Speaker 1: we do not record the show on Tuesdays at eight pm.
- 1:51Speaker 1: You know, given that this was Donovan McNabb, you know,
- 1:55Speaker 1: a Super Bowl hero almost you know, we were going
- 1:57Speaker 1: to make an exception and accommodation. Yeah, you're making accommodation
- 2:01Speaker 1: with professionals. That's what we do with what and we
- 2:04Speaker 1: agreed to do what they call in the business a
- 2:06Speaker 1: pre tape. Now, you people at home, you may not notice,
- 2:10Speaker 1: here's some inside baseball people, more education. You know, most
- 2:14Speaker 1: of these quote unquote live interviews you'll see on ESPN,
- 2:18Speaker 1: they're not live at all. They're actually taped hours before
- 2:22Speaker 1: the show. You know, when they say, hey, we're gonna
- 2:24Speaker 1: go to Buffalo and talk to this schmoll on the field.
- 2:27Speaker 1: He was there four days ago. They're just showing it
- 2:30Speaker 1: to you now, so Tuesday rolls around eight pm, we
- 2:35Speaker 1: get a text McNabb can't do It's something popped up,
- 2:38Speaker 1: YadA YadA, Can you do Wednesday? Well, okay, so we said,
- 2:42Speaker 1: all right, we'll agree more accommodation. Guess what, Ever, since
- 2:46Speaker 1: we sent our agreement email back, nothing, no response from
- 2:51Speaker 1: McNabb's camp at all. So here you go. People, you're
- 2:55Speaker 1: in for a bit of a ride on this show.
- 2:57Speaker 1: You know, hopefully maybe McNabb can make an other fourth
- 3:00Speaker 1: quarter comeback as he tended to do. You know, we
- 3:04Speaker 1: can depend on that or otherwise heads will roll, So
- 3:08Speaker 1: we'll see what happens. But you know, in the meantime, Tony,
- 3:10Speaker 1: we can't let this derail us from the show. We
- 3:13Speaker 1: got a lot to get to stop. So let's get
- 3:17Speaker 1: right into first sponsorship. We got a new sponsorship on board,
- 3:22Speaker 1: So right now I'm gonna do an ad read for
- 3:24Speaker 1: our newest sponsor just signed on today. Are good friends
- 3:27Speaker 1: at post it notes? Are you constantly forgetting appointments and
- 3:32Speaker 1: other things you have to do? Well? Have you heard
- 3:35Speaker 1: of post it notes a whole? Yeah? Like, let's say hypothetically,
- 3:40Speaker 1: you're supposed to record an interview at eight pm on
- 3:43Speaker 1: a Tuesday. How are you gonna remember it if you
- 3:45Speaker 1: don't write it down a whole Post it notes, stop
- 3:49Speaker 1: being a total disappointment to everyone around you. Post it
- 3:53Speaker 1: notes available literally anywhere, and disclaim any person. This seems
- 3:59Speaker 1: like it were ers, though, is purely coincidental. All right,
- 4:03Speaker 1: there you go. Well, lots to get to, Tony, so
- 4:06Speaker 1: let's not waste any more time and get right into
- 4:09Speaker 1: our top story story. Alright, first down the gate obviously
- 4:15Speaker 1: the big story, major crisis brewing in Dallas. Yeah, the
- 4:20Speaker 1: Cowboys they beat the Bucks in the wild god round,
- 4:23Speaker 1: but unfortunately the wind was overshadowed by the record poor
- 4:28Speaker 1: play from Cowboys kicker and soon to be free agent
- 4:32Speaker 1: Brett ma who missed the record for extra points and
- 4:36Speaker 1: it's surprisingly still alive. But you know, Tony, people, they're
- 4:40Speaker 1: putting a lot of blame on Mar here, but he
- 4:43Speaker 1: is not the one they should be blaming, Isn't that right, Tony?
- 4:47Speaker 1: Of course the person they should blame is clearly Dak Prescott.
- 4:52Speaker 1: If he got the ball in the ends on more
- 4:54Speaker 1: during the regular season, then Brett Marr would have gotten
- 4:57Speaker 1: to practice more extra points in Week eighteen because Doak
- 5:02Speaker 1: was so indescribably. She Ma only got to practice one
- 5:06Speaker 1: measily extra point, so it's pretty clear why he was
- 5:10Speaker 1: rusty for the playoffs. Terrific analysis that, Tony. And you know,
- 5:14Speaker 1: now the Cowboys are coming out, and you know they're
- 5:16Speaker 1: all being so supportive of this mo guy. You know
- 5:19Speaker 1: he didn't that's saying, oh it's okay, I played like
- 5:24Speaker 1: the week before though. That was his exact quote. And
- 5:26Speaker 1: you know John told the teams coach. He comes out
- 5:30Speaker 1: and he says, oh, well, the ma had the yips.
- 5:33Speaker 1: You know, this just shows you how soft and pathetic
- 5:37Speaker 1: and kumbaya this league has become. Isn't that right? You know,
- 5:42Speaker 1: people forget this, but in the nineties seventies, when kickers
- 5:46Speaker 1: would miss even one extra point, the entire team would
- 5:49Speaker 1: take him behind the stadium after the game and beat
- 5:53Speaker 1: the living piss out of him. People think the NFL
- 5:56Speaker 1: introduced the two point conversion to increase scoring. No, it
- 6:01Speaker 1: was actually to lower the assault rate on kickers. And
- 6:06Speaker 1: now look at how bad kickers are, a clear case
- 6:09Speaker 1: of causing an effect. So well set, Tony, and you
- 6:13Speaker 1: know we got to you got to get to another
- 6:16Speaker 1: story here involving Dallas. You know, Cowboys fans, they're always
- 6:20Speaker 1: bitching and moaning about something, right, you know, that's all
- 6:22Speaker 1: they do. Didn't catch the ball day exactly, yeah, exactly. Anyway,
- 6:28Speaker 1: now they're they're angry because the Cowboys have to play
- 6:32Speaker 1: a short week for the forty nine is you know,
- 6:34Speaker 1: because the forty Niners wrapped their game against Seattle on
- 6:37Speaker 1: Saturday night, Cowboys against Tampa on Monday night schedule exactly.
- 6:43Speaker 1: You know, Tony again, here to me, this is just
- 6:46Speaker 1: more of the softness of the NFL, you know, wanting
- 6:49Speaker 1: it to be some like cushy lounge and you know,
- 6:52Speaker 1: more so overall like the weakling world we've created. You know,
- 6:55Speaker 1: you got people every day complaining, Oh, they want their
- 6:58Speaker 1: four day work week, so they want you to open
- 7:01Speaker 1: the window when the gas stove is on. You know,
- 7:04Speaker 1: this is just crazy talk, Tony. Absolutely, It's shameful that
- 7:09Speaker 1: the Cowboys are even complaining about this. It's the playoffs.
- 7:13Speaker 1: Shouldn't the playoffs be harder than the regular season? Wouldn't
- 7:17Speaker 1: that make more sense? Personally? I would like to see
- 7:21Speaker 1: teams get no days off or even have to play
- 7:25Speaker 1: double head is. That would be a truer test of
- 7:28Speaker 1: strength and endurance terrific, point Tony. And you know, just
- 7:33Speaker 1: as a quicker side here, you know that something I
- 7:35Speaker 1: have to mention. The biased media is at it once
- 7:39Speaker 1: again doing a terrible job. You know, after that Jaguas
- 7:42Speaker 1: win versus the Charges, I didn't hear one of those
- 7:46Speaker 1: talking heads, not a single one credit the Eagles. You know,
- 7:50Speaker 1: the Jags. You look at it, the Jags have our
- 7:52Speaker 1: old coach, like twenty of the same staff members, including
- 7:56Speaker 1: Great Jim Bob Gouda. They even stole a color of uniform.
- 8:00Speaker 1: That's this is the you know, people always say the
- 8:05Speaker 1: biggest thing you can achieve in sports is a dynasty. No,
- 8:09Speaker 1: it's an empire. And right now, if you look at it,
- 8:14Speaker 1: the Eagles have not one, but two teams in the playoffs,
- 8:18Speaker 1: holdings and two conferences. Total empire domination. Absolutely. And while
- 8:25Speaker 1: we're discussing the Jacks Charges game, which I can't believe
- 8:29Speaker 1: we're actually discussing. I literally thought we'd have no reason
- 8:32Speaker 1: to talk about it, let alone you believe the words
- 8:35Speaker 1: are coming out of your mouth right now. Well, anyway,
- 8:37Speaker 1: you know, these sports shows blame it, all these sports shows,
- 8:40Speaker 1: because you know they've been going back and forth debating
- 8:43Speaker 1: all week back and forth as the Weather Charges coach
- 8:46Speaker 1: Brandon Staley should keep his job after blowing that league.
- 8:50Speaker 1: And you know, Tony, the people calling for Staley to
- 8:54Speaker 1: lose his job over this, you know they're totally missing
- 8:56Speaker 1: the point, aren't they, Because you know, him being able
- 9:00Speaker 1: at his job is what makes the Charges just even
- 9:03Speaker 1: remotely interesting, Isn't that right? Absolutely? We all know great
- 9:09Speaker 1: head coaches give their team an identity. The Charges have
- 9:13Speaker 1: a clear identity blowing big leads and important games. That's
- 9:18Speaker 1: Brandon Staley's mark. Every great coach has a mark. Bill
- 9:22Speaker 1: Parcells run the ball, Buddy, Ryan Tough as Nail's defense,
- 9:28Speaker 1: Bill Belichick recording the other team's practices. From my view,
- 9:33Speaker 1: Brandon Stanley's coaching the right way and really making a
- 9:37Speaker 1: name for himself. Great point, Don'tian. Well? That leads us
- 9:41Speaker 1: to the end of the segment. So before we go
- 9:44Speaker 1: to the FUSCO satellite network, I guess we need to
- 9:47Speaker 1: first make sure if anybody's there. Uh, let's check in
- 9:51Speaker 1: with producer Jail. Oh no, did you bring him in? No,
- 9:56Speaker 1: one's on the line. Did you did you care from
- 10:00Speaker 1: him again? Write him? Yes? Yes always Alright, alright, that
- 10:08Speaker 1: bringing the backup. Go to the backup guest. Who you
- 10:10Speaker 1: got lined up? Backup guest? There's no backup. We've told
- 10:16Speaker 1: you this forty times. You should have six backup guests. Go,
- 10:21Speaker 1: you know, what's Kevin Cobb doing? You know that quarterbacks
- 10:24Speaker 1: at backup. You should have a backup guess Kevin Carb
- 10:27Speaker 1: where's he? Let's go down the list. Hello, Hello, he's
- 10:33Speaker 1: just look at him. He's lifeless. This is going nowhere. Alright, Tony, Well,
- 10:39Speaker 1: we got ten minutes here to Phil And you know,
- 10:41Speaker 1: I gotta say, Tony, for a long time, we've given
- 10:46Speaker 1: Donovan McNabb his flowers, haven't we. Yeah, we always do
- 10:50Speaker 1: every week. Yeah, we put him. He's at the front
- 10:52Speaker 1: beginning of the image, at the front of every show
- 10:54Speaker 1: that poto. I'm wearing his uniform right now. And you
- 10:57Speaker 1: know we're always paying Yeah, yeah we are. And you know, frankly,
- 11:02Speaker 1: the fact that he's kind of ghosted us like this,
- 11:05Speaker 1: I guess that's what they say, ghosted us. You know,
- 11:08Speaker 1: I don't know if with me. You know, when you
- 11:12Speaker 1: look back, Tony, maybe we shouldn't be so surprised because
- 11:15Speaker 1: when we look at back all the times we needed
- 11:17Speaker 1: to rely on Donovan McNabb to do anything. He was
- 11:22Speaker 1: totally unreliable. He was throwing up in the locker growing
- 11:25Speaker 1: up on the field right during the Super Bowl. You
- 11:28Speaker 1: know that that that should have been side number one
- 11:30Speaker 1: right there, shouldn't it have? Exactly, Paulie, He's probably not
- 11:34Speaker 1: coming on because he's too busy throwing up right now
- 11:37Speaker 1: because he's so nervous. Yeah, maybe that's what's going on.
- 11:40Speaker 1: He's probably head heading a toilet ball right now, you know. Yeah,
- 11:44Speaker 1: you know, you go back and this is what we,
- 11:47Speaker 1: you know, we should say about that Super Bowl. You'd
- 11:49Speaker 1: think if you're going to be a quarterback, the first
- 11:51Speaker 1: thing you should think about is not throwing up during
- 11:55Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, right, you know, first thing you do
- 11:57Speaker 1: in practice, guys, don't throw up. You know, he signed
- 12:01Speaker 1: that deal in the early two thousands with Campbell's Chunky soup.
- 12:04Speaker 1: And when he signed that deal, what was the first
- 12:06Speaker 1: thing we say? We said, that looks like throw up, right,
- 12:10Speaker 1: didn't we say that? And the first thing said, yeah,
- 12:13Speaker 1: so he starts doing this, well, then he gets to
- 12:15Speaker 1: the Super Bowl and what comes out of his mouth? Now,
- 12:18Speaker 1: you know, people said it could be throw up? Could
- 12:20Speaker 1: be Campbell's chunky soup. Hard to tell the difference, right,
- 12:23Speaker 1: you know, you look at that beef stroking off they sell,
- 12:26Speaker 1: you know, pot of me. Sometimes I'll be eating it
- 12:28Speaker 1: and I'll look down and I'll be like, wait, did
- 12:30Speaker 1: I microwave this? Or did I just throw up in
- 12:33Speaker 1: my souper bowl? You know, it's it's hard to tell.
- 12:35Speaker 1: And you know, you, you know, you look at how
- 12:37Speaker 1: these quarterbacks they managed themselves. That was probably the biggest
- 12:41Speaker 1: miss of his career. And we should have dinged them
- 12:44Speaker 1: for that, shouldn't we Exactly right? And guess what, you know,
- 12:47Speaker 1: who didn't throw up? Nick Foles? You know that's true.
- 12:50Speaker 1: You know, Nick Foles. Every time he cancels on us,
- 12:52Speaker 1: he at least as the decency to write us, you know,
- 12:55Speaker 1: a couple of days earlier. Sorry, I'm injured. You know,
- 13:00Speaker 1: I'm on my back. I can't move. I'm too busy
- 13:04Speaker 1: trying to save the Colts franchise exactly. My stern hum
- 13:08Speaker 1: is broken, you know, as far as I'm being told,
- 13:10Speaker 1: there's no word from Donovan McNabb. It's just literally shameful.
- 13:15Speaker 1: You know, Tony for years and you know, twenty three
- 13:18Speaker 1: years straight, we've had Donovan McNabb at number one on
- 13:21Speaker 1: our all time kill b list. You know, also now
- 13:24Speaker 1: when a tie with Nick Foles. But you know, I'm
- 13:27Speaker 1: starting to think that, uh, maybe we should reconsider them,
- 13:31Speaker 1: maybe drop him to drop him down. Yeah, exactly. Can
- 13:34Speaker 1: we pull up our graphic of our greatest kilbs of
- 13:37Speaker 1: all time? Right there at number one, you got Nick
- 13:39Speaker 1: Foles tied with Donovan McNabb right ahead of Ron Jaworski,
- 13:44Speaker 1: Randall Cunningham and of course Joe Montana respect him, respect
- 13:48Speaker 1: But you know this, when we calculated this list, one
- 13:52Speaker 1: of the things that we you know, we took into
- 13:54Speaker 1: account was dependability. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Ugly, we have to
- 14:01Speaker 1: adjust the list now so he's not clutch. Let's let's
- 14:04Speaker 1: just go in you know, hold on, let's just take
- 14:05Speaker 1: a moment at Tony, you you're good with the calculation.
- 14:08Speaker 1: Just let's just recalculate here. You have to lower dependability right. Also,
- 14:15Speaker 1: you know, communication right, responding to the text messages exactly
- 14:23Speaker 1: got a lower accuracy for not knowing the time, clutch
- 14:27Speaker 1: nous for just totally not showing up in the moment,
- 14:31Speaker 1: and unfortunately greatness too. Redose that one from to twelve
- 14:36Speaker 1: because he still did get to a Super Bowl. You know,
- 14:38Speaker 1: so taking those numbers into account, here are the new
- 14:42Speaker 1: results you just updated, just updated the list. Donovan McNabb
- 14:49Speaker 1: has just tumbled from the number one all time QB
- 14:53Speaker 1: spot all the way down to number one thousand, two
- 14:57Speaker 1: hundred and whoa what that is? Just drop there, Paulie
- 15:05Speaker 1: and he is now sandwiched between j Cutler and Rex Grossman. Wow,
- 15:12Speaker 1: just an absolute turn of events at Tony And you know,
- 15:16Speaker 1: maybe we should just wrap it here because you know,
- 15:18Speaker 1: we got we got better things to do than sit
- 15:20Speaker 1: around and wait. Totally clearly Donovan McNabb thinks he has
- 15:24Speaker 1: better things to do. It though, well, he'll learn. You know,
- 15:28Speaker 1: don't be surprised people if you don't see Donovan McNabb
- 15:31Speaker 1: on TV ever again. And don't be surprised if the
- 15:35Speaker 1: next time you see Donovan McNabb he's got six broken
- 15:38Speaker 1: legs and he's behind the stadium getting the beat out
- 15:41Speaker 1: of him. Yeah, you know, he'll learn. This is not
- 15:44Speaker 1: how you do This is not how you do broadcasting people.
- 15:47Speaker 1: This is Let this be a lesson to all your
- 15:49Speaker 1: kids out there. You know, you you make an appointment,
- 15:52Speaker 1: you say you're gonna be on a show, you show up,
- 15:54Speaker 1: so you write your post it no, and then you
- 15:57Speaker 1: show up. Now, Donovan McNabb, we can put him out
- 16:00Speaker 1: the broadcasting pasture with other greats such as George Seyffert
- 16:04Speaker 1: and Dennis Miller. Goodbye. You know you're never gonna work
- 16:08Speaker 1: once again. What McNabb off this show? You're off, You're
- 16:12Speaker 1: off broadcasting forever. Yeah exactly. We're gonna remember this forever.
- 16:18Speaker 1: So you know, you're probably throwing up. He's probably throwing
- 16:22Speaker 1: up right now, is he's listening to this, don't Yeah exactly,
- 16:25Speaker 1: he probably has stress colitis right now. Yeah, he's probably
- 16:29Speaker 1: knee deep in the pile of throw up and Campbell's
- 16:32Speaker 1: beef stroganoff. That's where Yeah exactly, we know what that is. Yeah, yeah,
- 16:36Speaker 1: if he can tell the difference anyway, all right, you
- 16:39Speaker 1: know what, let's just wrap it here. We're not gonna
- 16:42Speaker 1: let Donovan McNabb not showing up route what was otherwise
- 16:46Speaker 1: a terrific show. So we don't want to thank us.
- 16:49Speaker 1: Are your kidding me? Are you kidding me? You can't
- 16:54Speaker 1: even book a backup? Guess what are you gonna tell
- 16:56Speaker 1: us how to how to do our job corrections, corrections.
- 16:59Speaker 1: What you kept calling the Cowboys kicker Brett Maher. Yeah
- 17:03Speaker 1: that's his name. Yeah, no, it's not pronounced mar, it's
- 17:09Speaker 1: pronounced Maher, right like I'm going to mothery you after
- 17:15Speaker 1: the show. Yeah, I can't wait to pronounce you dead.
- 17:20Speaker 1: Good one. Yeah a second second, what you said Dad
- 17:26Speaker 1: should be blamed for Brett Maher missing extra points? Yeah?
- 17:30Speaker 1: You know, if Dak scored more during the season, Brett
- 17:32Speaker 1: ma would have gotten more practice. Exactly. In the regular season,
- 17:37Speaker 1: Brett Maher had fifty three extra point attempts that was
- 17:41Speaker 1: tied for the most in the league. Oh yeah, well
- 17:44Speaker 1: here's an extra point. Shut up. Yeah, after the show,
- 17:49Speaker 1: I'm gonna make fifty three attempts to hit you with
- 17:52Speaker 1: my car. Great one, Tony got him. Yeah, he's done.
- 17:57Speaker 1: We're done. Last one, Tony. You said earlier quote a
- 18:02Speaker 1: clear case of causing an effect. Yeah, yeah, that's that's right. Idiom,
- 18:09Speaker 1: it's a clear case of cause and effect. Oh yeah, well,
- 18:14Speaker 1: if anyone's an idiom, it's you. Yeah, you're the biggest
- 18:18Speaker 1: idiom that I know. We got him, bully, look at Yeah, nope,
- 18:25Speaker 1: he said he's suing McNab and not show up next week.
- 18:30Speaker 1: You know he's going to be in the TOT. I
- 18:34Speaker 1: just got an email game through Tony from Nick Foles.
- 18:38Speaker 1: I've been listening to the show. Don't worry, I'll be
- 18:41Speaker 1: there next week. Professional Real Eagles the best of all
