• 3:17
  Speaker 2: early game talked earlier about the Seahawks and the Rams
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: as Seattle that gets a gift the muffed punt by
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: the Rams sending Seattle to the Super Bowl.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: You're welcome.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: You're welcome now in Denver, Drake May and the Patriots
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: entered as the biggest road favorite in the history of
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: Championship Sunday in the NFL because the Broncos were going
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: with their backup quarterback Jared Stidham. So has never seen
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: a team favored by more on the road than the
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: New England Patriots. The game played in the first half
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: in good conditions and then by late third quarter. It
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: was a snow globe game in the third, late part
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: of the third quarter and the fourth cour so I
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: don't know if you saw this or not. It made
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: for compelling television late in the game. It was not
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: the most aesthetically pleasing matchup in the world. Maybe not though,
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: but in the frigid, snow swirling AFC Championship game there
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: at Mile High, Mike Vrabel coach the Patriots to survive
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: and advance as they get it done with their defense.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: They win a slugfest over the Broncos, where nobody played
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: well at the quarterback position, although you wouldn't know that
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: from the media giving tongue bash to Drake May. Ten
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: to seven the final, ten to seven the final, as
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: the Patriots win and advance with the snow building up
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: as the game progressed in the second half, their New
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: England getting it tone with their defense in this particular game.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: So they're on to Super Bowl sixty where they will
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: take the Seattle Seahawks on That'll be coming up a
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: week from this Sunday, so almost two full weeks.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: To go here. As this is early on a Monday.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: Rake May did score the Patriots only touchdown a six
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: yard scamper. I like the word scamper. You don't use
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: the word scamper much other than football scamper. Scampered Hi
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: late second quarter there for the Patriots. So that was
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: the only score of the game in terms of the touchdown.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: The better story is in the losing locker room. A
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: lot of people up in arms in the post mortem
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: at Broncos coach Sean Payton, who's getting cooked for his
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: decision to go for it rather than kick it. And
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: if you didn't see it, let me set the game up.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: So the Broncos got an early touchdown. Lightning struck early,
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: so the Broncos had a seven nothing lead all the
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: way into the second quarter.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: Was seven nothing Broncos.
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: Early in the second quarter, Jared Stidham and the Broncos
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: offense was they were right there, set up deep in
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: Patriot territory for a chip shot field goal. It was
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: fourth down and Sean Payton said, no, no, no, I'm.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: Gonna go for it.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: I we should go for it rather than kick a
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: field goal go up by two scores.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: He said no.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: So Peyton deciding to not send out the field goal
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: unit and send the offense back out fourth down and
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: one and from the fourteen yard line. How did that
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: turn out? Yeah, the Broncos rolled out here at Stidham
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: on a pass play and he was pressured and it
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: fell harmlessly incomplete.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: That's it. That's all. See you later. Denver did not
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: score again. That was it. He did not score the
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: rest of the game.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: That when asked why he didn't just take the points, right,
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: just take the points, go up by two scores. You've
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: got your backup quarterback who sucks in the game, Peyton, Well,
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: he got defensive.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: Is what he got. Do we have the audio? Here's
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: a Sean Payton take a list.
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: Just felt like, man, we had momentum, momentum, momentum. You
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: got up fourteen and felt like we had a good
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: call at yard line wise there, Yeah, I think I
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: think the feeling was, man, let's let's be aggressive to
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: get up fourteen. I was just watching the way our
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: defense was playing.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: Okay, all right, so let us discuss. That's a good
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: jumping off point. The question, what is your read on
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: what you just heard Sean Payton saying the Broncos had momentum, momentum.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: The Broncos had momentum. To justify his decision to pass
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: up a chip shot field goal and go up by
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: a touchdown and a field goal. So my observations, I
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: have cross examination, Paris and police, and we will combine
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: all of these things together.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: One, two, and three. We're gonna play Connect three. We're
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: gonna play Connect three.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: So number wa number. So when I heard Sean Payton's response,
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: I knew one one word applies here. Buffoonery. Buffoonery. Sean
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: Payton knows he made the wrong decision. How do I
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: know that? He said momentum? He said momentum. He doesn't
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: believe that he knows that. Just get out of jee
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: free card because stupid people love momentum. Dumb people love momentum.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: They can't get enough of it. They want it.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: Oh, I need my momentum. It's ridiculous.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: Sean Payton screwed up. He did the thing you can't
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: do at the time, you can't do it, and then
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: he uses the momentum card from the bottom of the deck.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: Momentum is the adult version of a boogeyman. You know
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: you're a kid. I can't have.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: The Boogeyman's under my bed, the Boogeyman's in my closet.
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: If you're an NFL coach, the boogeyman momentum, Oh, it's momentum.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: Come on.
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: It only exists, of course, to help you, help you
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: explain why you made a dumb decision. In this case,
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: Sean Payton leaned in to momentum on cross examination. On
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: cross examination, momentum has the structural integrity of a wet
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: cardboard box, is what it's got. Okay, playing a backup
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: quarterback who has proven he's no good and you got
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: points right there. You already got that Fluke Eurly touchdown,
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: so you got to touchdown in your back pocket the
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: field goal.
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: Drake May, I don't even notice.
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: He was pooping his pants in that game for the Patriots,
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: So the Broncos defense was man handling Drake May. You
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: go up by two scores, and you increase the degree
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: of difficulty for the Patriots offense in that case, and
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: so chip shot field goal, take the points. And no,
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: I'm not gonna take the points. Why would I do that?
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: No?
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: No, Why would I squeeze the air a little more
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: air out of the Patriots' sideline and give Drake May
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: a tighter spinter? If I'm Sean Payton, why would I
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: do that? No, Instead, Sean Payton trusted his backup suck
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: back quarterback in Jared's like he was prime Drew Brees.
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: Does Sean Payton know that that was not prime Drew
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: Brees while he does now? And shocker of shocker, Jared
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: Sidham did what Jared Sidham is supposed to do. He
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: did a face plant right there. The moment was too big.
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: And you toss in the fact that they knew the forecast.
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: Now you didn't change We did Benny versus the Penny
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: in the middle of the week. The forecast was much different,
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: and so we did not know at the time we
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: did that that there would be blizzard like conditions in Denver.
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: We knew there was a big storm coming across the country,
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: but not necessarily for the Bronco game. That changed. The
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: weather pattern changed, So you know that going in And
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: what this means Sean Payton guilty of coaching malpractice in
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: this game. For the Broncos fourth down failure. You had
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: the clown car fumble. That's a whole different can of worms.
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: The fumble by Stidham. Was it a forward pass? Was
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: it not a forward pass? That was the twelve yard
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: line would you give wrapped things for the Patriots in
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: that case? Now, most games are lost, not one. That's
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: always the way it is. It is always the way
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: it will be as long as human beings are involved.
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: Most games are lost, they're not one. So there is
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: that in this case, though it was the pure hubris
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: of Sean Payton. I don't the circus of the officiating
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: is one thing. Did anyone think that Jene Sterotur did
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: a good.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: Job on that?
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: By the way, did anyone notice this was like comedy
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: gold They should do a bit about this. I don't
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: watch Saturday Night Live anymore. I hadn't been funny in years.
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: But they used to do shows like that and be
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: a great comedy bit. Because the rules analyst Jeane Sterotor,
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: if you were paying attention, So Jeane Sterotor comes on there,
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: and he changed his mind faster than a politician in
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: an election year. He was like a member of Congress
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: trying to get reelection. Jean Sterotor. So initially the call
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: was forward pass on the field, right, So Jean's terrator said,
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: well that was the right call, forward pass on the field.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: They got it right?
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: No, wait, no, no, wait a minute, it was it
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: was backwards.
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Jeane's territor flip flopped. He did the old flip
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: flop right there. Amazing flexibility by the rules analysts there
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: Jeene's sterotor. And if you haven't learned by now having
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: watched these rules analysts there, they hate calling out their buddies.
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: Whatever the call is. They agree with the officials. They
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: do not want to go against the officials. It's part
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: of the orthodoxy of the Zebra culture. And so, just
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: for the record, by the way, Sean Payton, momentum did
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: not did not infect the Broncos in this game. That's
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: not They didn't lose the game because they lost momentum.
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: They lost the game because you didn't kick the field goal.
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: Oh my god, the arrogance, the arrogance of Sean Payton. Now, meanwhile,
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: turning the page to the Patriots side of things, law
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: of glowing words being said about Drake May and the
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: Patriots as they are in the Super Bowl to take
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: on the Seahawks Super Bowl sixty from Northern California. So
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: the question is, how did you grade Drake May's play?
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: As the Patriots have now gone on a Super Bowl run.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: They've gone on.
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: The Super Bowl run the Patriots are there one win
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: away from getting another Lombardi Trophy. So how did you
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: grade Drake May in this postseason run up until this
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: point for the new and the Patriots. So May has
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: been he's not been the pace card. Like there's this
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: idea he's the quarterback, so he's the engine.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: He's really not.
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: It's really not the engine for the Patriots. Despite the
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: Patriots success. If you look at the Malo scorecard, you've
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: got not an a, not a be. I wouldn't even
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: give Drake May a C. I wrote down on my
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: scorecard for Drake May and this playoff run for the Patriots,
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: I wrote down A you for unremarkable, Capitol you unremarkable
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: for Drake May. It's working, which is great. Although they
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: got to get more out of this guy. They got
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: to get more out of this guy. That Seatles defense
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: fortunately is overrated. As we saw, the Rams lit him up,
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: and so Drake May will be. There will be opportunities,
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: assuming he doesn't suffer from tight Tuker syndrome in the
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: Super Bowl, to make some plays there. He has not
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: been the man to lead the way for the New
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: Eland Patriots, despite what you might have heard or read online.
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: It is not the case, so I wrote again unremarkable
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: as the grade for Drake May. The Patriots offense stuck
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: in wet cement and just kind of stuck there against
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: Denver for much of the days. Well, the blizzard conditions.
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: That's why it's the weather. Blaming on the weather, and
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: the snow excuse is a popular excuse. There's one problem
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: with the snow excuse is that the weather was fine
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: in the first half of the game, and Drake May
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: was not fine. In the first half, May had a
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: passery below sixty and the Patriots offense only had four
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: first downs in the first half. That was a complete
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: lockdown by the Denver Broncos defensively in the first half
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: of that game. Patriots had seventy two yards of offense
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: in the first thirty minutes of that game with Drake May. Now,
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: May's signature play was the quarterback keeper. I would argue
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: the twenty eight yard scamper another way to say the
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: word scramble scamper. But that turn that turned out to
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: be the winning field goal. That's set up what was
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: the winning field goal on that However, you are judged
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: by your full body of work here and if you
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: look at the overall picture in the playoffs, this continues
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: to trend. Drake May has been a stumblebum for the
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: Patriots and it hasn't mattered. It has not mattered. Here
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: those negative plays, which are normally the telltale sign for quarterbacks.
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: You combine interceptions incompletions, sacks and fumbles, those are bad plays.
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: Drake May is averaging eighteen bad plays per game in
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: this playoff run for the Patriots, nineteen negative plays per
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: game for Drake May, and they are one win away
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: from winning the Super Bowl thanks to playing what we
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: call the Paris Baguette schedule. A lot of croissants, a
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: lot of croissants. And while Drake May does not go
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: against the opposition quarterback, it does help when the opposing
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: quarterback is Justin Herbert or C. J. Stroud or Jared Stidham,
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: and they stink right, the Drake May Patriots have scored
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: only fifty four points in this playoff run. That doesn't
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: sound like a lot, right, That doesn't sound like that much? Well,
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: didn't you know? Fun fact here? How bad is that?
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: How bad is that for the Patriots?
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: Matter?
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: Fun fact?
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: We are told that is the fewest points a team
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: has scored playing three postseason games to make the Super
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: Bowl since Jimmy Carter was the president back in the
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: nineteen seventies.
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: The La Rams made it.
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: In nineteen seventy nine, and that's it, so my god.
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: It does help also that the posing quarterbacks are averaging
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: twenty over twenty two negative plays, so they've been even
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: worse than Drake May the collective of CJ. Stroud who
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: had thirty negative plays in that game for the Texan
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: thirty thirty negative players, Jared Stidham and of course Herbert.
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: So that's where we are right now.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: Final point to the postgame commentary from Patriots defensive tacker
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: tackle Milton Williams. Good old uncle Milt, Milton Williams who
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: said the thing that we knew was going to be
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: said postgame. Milton Williams, defensive tackle for the women Patriots
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: postgame team has wanted advance.
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: To the Super Bowl.
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: He said, everybody doubted us. That's what he said. Everybody
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: doubted us. Does that work for you? Does that work
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: for you? So it is predictable and silly. At the
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: same time, the Patriots did not overcome the odds. In fact,
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: they failed to live up to the standard of the odds.
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: They were given the New England Patriots a police escort
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: to the promised land of Super Bowl sixty. And there's
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: no debate over that this is a generational mister Softy
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: run for the New England Patriots. Congratulations. I'm jealous. I
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: am absolutely jealous. It's like it's not really a postseason run.
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: It's like a massage at the Foxborough day Spa, the
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: manny and the petty, the bubble bath. Now, what is
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: my evidence if you look at the receipts and look
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: at the receipts, the easiest schedule in the league this year,
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: and the easiest schedule and the generation plus strength of
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: schedule of the opponent that was during the regular season.
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: This was not a football obstacle. Course, this was a
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: study diet of creampuffs and doughnuts and then threw some
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: mcclair's in there. The whole thing. You played a Charger
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: team held together by duck tape and a prayer and
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: Justin Turbert, Justin Herbert there who went out there and
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: the moment was too big. He's a coward. He played
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: cowardly football for the Chargers.
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: CJ.
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: Stroud hanging out handing out interception, you get an interception,
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: you get an interception like that famous TV thing back
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: in the day with Oprah. And then the AFC Championship
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: game where Sean Payton decides that his quarterback is good
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: rather than kick a field goal and go up by
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: two scores. And then in the second half the blizzard
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: kicked in. So that's a couple of gifts from the
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: heavens for the Patriots that went their way. New England
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: is averaging eighteen points per game. The last time a
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: team was this bad was the Rams nineteen seventy nine,
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: La Rams.
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: It's almost fifty years ago. Almost fifty years ago, so enjoy.
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: The flight out to the Bay Area there, and.
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: I don't want to hear about the doubters.
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: Though you were the biggest favorite, you didn't cover the
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: spread against the backup quarterback in a blizzard, and you
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: couldn't cover the spread there, So no style points for
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: the Patriots at all.
• 20:07

  Speaker 1: of the people.
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: Clearly, HL Wrights c it he says, Ben, you're all
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: wet on the Patriots. Whose fault is it that they
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: had an easy schedule the NFL? The game yesterday was
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: a mess. That's the kind of game at the Patriots
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: get in the playoffs, not their fault. They play up
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: to the ability of their opponent. Well, the reason they
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: had the easy schedules because of what they did the
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: year before. You get the NFL gives you the easy schedule.
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: Inca Terror writes that. He says conspiracy question inca Terror
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: from New York. He says, at the end of the
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: AFC title game, the west Wood One announcer proclaimed that
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: the may Rabel era of the Patriots had begun. Do
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: you think that this was an NFL intended storyline, a
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: second Patriot dynasty? Do you think Peyton was in on it.
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna go, I'm gonna go know, We'm go know
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: on that. I like your thinking. The real thing that
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: should upset you if you're a Bills fan, though, is
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: the Cooper Cup catch in the NFC title game compared
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: to the catch that was not a catch for the Bills.
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: So they just make it up week to week. It's
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: a catch one week, the next week it's not a catch.
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: Stop it.
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: You just have to go through the whole No, listen,
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: if if the who's the guy for the Bills that
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: Brandon cooks, Brandon Cooks, it wasn't a catch. Okay, So
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: if that wasn't a catch, how is the Cooper Cup
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: catch a catch?
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: Can you explain the difference if we're thinking about the
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: same one.
• 23:57
  Speaker 5: Cooper Cup wasn't falling while making the catch.
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: He fell down and hit the ground, the balls came,
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: he caught it and then he on the ground. He
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: didn't have it his elbow.
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: But don't you have to don't you have to make
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: it all the way through? The catch isn't there? I
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: always say you have to make it through the whole progression.
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: Maybe maybe we're thinking about different plays. I'm talking in
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: the fourth quarter there was a fourth down and he
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: caught it or did he catch it and then he
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: fell forth? But I'm just saying it's like week to week,
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: Well that's a catch. Obviously it's a catch, and then
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: well that's not a catch. Okay, So he didn't Cooper
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: Cup didn't make it all the way through because the
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: ball came out.
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: But that's allowed.
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: This is why I actually the ground caused it, but
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: I guess the Bills guy didn't cause it.
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: It's very confusing.
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: Derek wrightes and says steady even breaking out the mallor
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: basketball chess pass during the game.
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: Now, I would have thrown the ball better than that.
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: Rebecca writes in she says, it's my pet peeve watching
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: the NFL going for it on fourth down when you
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: could just take the points unless it's the middle of
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: the fourth quarter.
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: Why do that?
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: The Bears did the same thing last week and they
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: would have won in regulation. Well, Rebecca, you know the
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: answer to that's because the game of football has been
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: hijacked by the nerds, and the nerds say I've got
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: all the numbers, and the coaches have plausible deniability.
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: Now they do say anybody the ghost war as well.
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: The analytics. They just say the analytics, the holy grails
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: of the analytics. Well, the analytics said to go for it,
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: so you can't argue. Okay, So why don't we just
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: pay analytics. We'll just have a chat GPT or GROK
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: or whatever your favorite AI is. We'll have them coach
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: the team. How about that, and just go by the analytics.
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: That makes sense, right, why not let's go to the
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: phones and the guy I was gonna go to a
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: hung up, bad job by him.
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: But we'll go to Mike in Rhode Island. What's going on? Mike? Welcome?
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: You're on the Ben Malor Show. Hello, Ben?
• 25:44
  Speaker 6: What's up?
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: Man?
• 25:45
  Speaker 6: A long time listener, first time caller, work third ship
• 25:50
  Speaker 6: for a lot of years, always been a fan. But
• 25:52
  Speaker 6: I'm gonna call you out a little bit. I think
• 25:54
  Speaker 6: you're I think you're off on calling the Patriots out
• 25:59
  Speaker 6: on what they've accomplished this year.
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: Well what well, first of all, thanks for listening. Uh
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: they I don't know what I said that was incorrect.
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: They played the easiest schedule in modern NFL history. They've
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: had the easiest playoff road, imaginable. What did I say?
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: That's I'm glad they're in the Super Bowls. Good for
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: them that they're in the super Bowl. But it's not
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: like they it's not an obstacle course this was there
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: were there were no motes they had to jump over there.
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: They didn't have to swim through shark infested waters to
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: get there.
• 26:26
  Speaker 6: All right, So they're they're over under preseason by Vegas standards.
• 26:32
  Speaker 6: I think it was four and a half or five games,
• 26:35
  Speaker 6: and now they're in the super Bowl with a new
• 26:37
  Speaker 6: coach in a second year quarterback that I had to
• 26:42
  Speaker 6: go through, a first year coach with no head coach experience, and.
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: Like, listen, you're trying, but Mike, you're not gonna win
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: this argument because the argument you can't win the argument.
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: The Patriots have the easiest road possible. It's not it's
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: not a map. They're gonna they can win the Super Bowl.
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: I hope they do.
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: I don't want to see Sam Donald win a super Bowl.
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: Nobody wants to see Sam Donald win a damn super Bowl.
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: They guy sucks.
• 27:07
  Speaker 6: That's not shade on the Patriots. That shade on the
• 27:11
  Speaker 6: NFL for having low quality teams.
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: Well yeah, well that's always been there. There's a bunch
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: of bad teams in the NFL. But the Patriots were
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: one of the bad teams.
• 27:22
  Speaker 6: And you know who saw but Vegas, Vegas had them
• 27:25
  Speaker 6: not even winning five games and now they're going to
• 27:28
  Speaker 6: the hole.
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: Dude, Yeah, well that's Vegas. We're not talking about the
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: the gambling market.
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: We're talking about reality here and the reality but Vegas like.
• 27:38
  Speaker 6: Kind of sets like, yeah, nobody expecting the Patriots to
• 27:41
  Speaker 6: be here a new coach.
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: Okay, it doesn't enjoy it, but don't enjoy it because
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: you overcame the odds, Like, don't tell me, nobody believed
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: we could do it. But when the playoffs at home,
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: Patriots were were the biggest favorite of this road game
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: against the Broncos backup quarterback, I I'm not impressed they
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: I'm glad they're They're fine, but it's not impressive. There's
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: nothing the Patriots have done. It's impressive that Drake May
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: has not been Will you admit Drake May has not
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: been good?
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: But you at least admit that, right, Drake May.
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: Had his worst game today or yes, but he hasn't
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: been good in the playoffs in general, he hasn't.
• 28:16
  Speaker 6: Been good, and I don't They might blame the shortcomings
• 28:22
  Speaker 6: the offensive line on that. All right, wow, I think like, yeah, defenses,
• 28:28
  Speaker 6: they played the Houston Texans, Uh, the number one.
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: Defense got four interceptions four interceptions from C. J.
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: Stroud in that game.
• 28:39
  Speaker 6: No, but yeah, But defensively they're playing the number one
• 28:42
  Speaker 6: defense in the Denver Broncos I think had the fourth
• 28:46
  Speaker 6: or fifth best defense for a relatively new offense for
• 28:52
  Speaker 6: the new OC, a new head coach in a second
• 28:54
  Speaker 6: year quarterback. I think you're you're selling them short man.
• 28:57
  Speaker 5: You scored ten points and seven of them were gifted
• 29:01
  Speaker 5: to you by Jared Stidham.
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: Coop's pretty upset right now. He does not like your propaganda, Mike.
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: He does not listen. I enjoy You're in the super Bowl.
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: Who cares what I think? You're in the super Bowl.
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: Enjoy you going.
• 29:14
  Speaker 6: I appreciate you think. I just think you're you're a
• 29:16
  Speaker 6: little short.
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: Okay, all right, I am. I I just I look.
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: I call it like I see it. That's how I
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: see it. Thanks for listening all these years. I appreciate that,
• 29:27

  Speaker 1: little bar soap for your mouth.
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, I gotta let I tell you if
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: we were gonna curse again, so I gotta let you.
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: I got a rule.
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: So a number of you guys got hoodwinked. If you've
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: been with The Overnight Show for a long time, we
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: had one of the most famous moments in the history
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: of the show many years ago, and it involved a
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: pop culture icond William shatter. So we had it was
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: called Spats with Shats. It was hilarious. So William Shatner,
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: a beloved part of Americana and one of the great
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: entertainers of his time. We got into a social media
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: brew haha, because I have a mutual friend who happens
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: to be friends with William Shatner.
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: An actor used to play in the NFL guy named.
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: Uh, the guy was TV's hunter Fred Dryer, and so
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: it's I don't need to give the whole story.
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: Anyway, there was a.
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: Point in time where William Shatner blocked me and somebody
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: paid like five thousand dollars to have me unblocked on
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: x It was called Twitter at the time to get
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: me unblocked to charity for Shatner. And there was a
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: night Shatner was on a flight to a Trekky convention
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: in Germany.

• 31:58
  Speaker 2: and he's following these are our pay and Shatner's following

  Speaker 2: them by anyway, So I fast forward. Now William Shatner
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: is ninety four years young. Number of you sent me
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: the story because TMZ and the Daily Mail and a
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: bunch of the tabloids had photos of William Shatner driving

  Speaker 2: around La eating cereal.
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: I was like, what is Shatner doing? Has he lost it?

  Speaker 2: He's eating cereal in his car driving around La And
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: I got sent this story by a bunch of different people,
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: and now we know the rest of the story. You
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: were bamboozled. You were a hoodwink. This is skullduggery. It
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: turns out that William Shatner is doing a commercial for
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: Raisin brand that's gonna apparently's gonna be in the super Bowl,
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: and this was the lead up. It was a gorilla
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: marketing campaign, and they used the paparazzo snapping photos of
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: Shatner eating a bowl of cereal in his car in
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: La traffic, the popa rozzo style photographs suggesting he just
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: loved this cereal so much he had to have it.
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: That turns out. No, there was even a photo. I
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: love this.
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: Somebody sent me a photo Shatner getting out of his
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: car holding the box of Raisin Brand tucked under his
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: arm so you could see the Raisin Brand logo.
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: Now this is great. Shatner doesn't need money. He's loaded.
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: He's loaded from the Star Trek stuff and all the
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: things he's done, and he's still out there hustling. He's
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: still out there bamboozling people. This is gonna be a
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: Super Bowl ad which will air in Super Bowl sixty.
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: And so it was all part of a marketing campaign.
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: So Shatner was he didn't just decide at age ninety four,
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: I want to drive around. How about the fact he's
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: still driving at age ninety four. That's impressive, right, Get
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: him off the road. He did get in an accident.
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: Was it last year or two years ago?
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: Internaccident? I have a hard rule.
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: Once you turn like sixty, you need to be taking
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: tests every two to six years.
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: That's sight is good and that you have good reaction time.
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: I think seventies more like it. I think sixties. I
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: think seventy would be more of an issue than sixty.
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: Start them early, all right, he'll be there some day,
• 34:08

  Speaker 2: not a high It is not a high bar. Right,
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: Carson Palmer, Matt Lioner, you go down the list. I mean,
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: there's been a handful of play in the NFL. I'm
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: still gonna go No, just because they haven't one until.
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: Then they win the Super Bowl. We can revisit this,
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: but not just making it. I'm gonna go no. Next.
• 38:44
  Speaker 5: All right, So we talked last week about how Brian
• 38:46
  Speaker 5: Daball is a favorite for the Buffalo Bill's a job.
• 38:49
  Speaker 5: It was reported over the weekend that Philip Rivers is
• 38:52
  Speaker 5: interviewing for the head coaching job, Ben, do you think
• 38:56
  Speaker 5: that's actually something that they would do?
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: I would love it. Lst time we saw a high
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: school coach, it was Jim Mersay.
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: He's dead now in Indianapolis, but I would love to
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: see an owner be willing to do that. I think
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: it's so hilarious that it's not gonna happen. But I
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: think apparently he's buddies with with Josh Allen. That's why
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: you got Philip Urvers got the interview. It's got to
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: be Brian dave all though doesn't. What are they waiting for?
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: Why have they not named him the coach?
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: Next?
• 39:19
  Speaker 5: So the Cowboys blocked the Eagles request to interview offensive
• 39:23
  Speaker 5: coordinator Clayton Adams because apparently they're allowed to do this
• 39:26
  Speaker 5: if it's going to be a lateral move. But Clayton
• 39:29
  Speaker 5: Adams would be calling the plays over there, which he's
• 39:33
  Speaker 5: not doing. Now do you think that should they should
• 39:35
  Speaker 5: change that role or do you like them being able
• 39:37
  Speaker 5: to block that?
• 39:38
  Speaker 3: No?
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: I like that the teams are petty that they block coach.
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: It didn't think Cowboys hire their defensive coordinator.
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: Yes, classic Jerry Shoes. Well I'm gonna take this guy,
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: but you can't have this guy.
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: No, I think they should just have They should wait
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: till after the super Bowl and name these coaches though,
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: how do we do coop?
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: How do we do pass that? As they went put
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: on the bar, oh my god, I wanted to get
