2:37
Brown with sidelines at five point fifteen. You did you what was your emotions
2:42
like yesterday? I've been curious about this. I know we talked about it,
2:45
like briefly, but I thought about you yesterday and I almost I almost
2:50
sent you a smack talk video halfway through that game, and I'm glad I
2:54
did not do that. I am glad I didn't do it. Jake,
2:58
don't be that guy. Man. I have a friend who is from Detroit,
3:02
huge Lions fan. We talked trash leading up to this, but I
3:08
still haven't texted him because I'm not one of those people who's gonna talk trash
3:14
right after a game, especially like that. His heart had to be ripped
3:17
out. But I don't know. I don't like these colors that you just
3:22
showed me what it was all in fun. You almost wanted to send a
3:25
smack talk video, but no, no, for real you Okay, you
3:29
asked me my emotions I will tell you that second quarter and into halftime defeated.
3:38
My emotion was defeated. I left Saints Bro's house midway through halftime,
3:46
and I got home and I turned on the game and it was twenty four
3:53
to ten and the first thing I saw was Ayuk make that catch that bounced
3:57
off the man's face mask at the five. So then I started watching it
4:00
again. I had a little hope at that point, but absolutely defeated halftime.
4:06
I thought there was no way. I mean, it's we've got the
4:11
ten biggest comebacks ever in the playoffs. It's gonna rank right up there at
4:15
the top. I mean, you're talking about a Lions team that just looked
4:17
like they were going to steamrollar and we walk in there and just wear them
4:21
out. But and a lot of people blaming the fourth down play I told
4:26
you this or I don't, and a lot of people clowning the analytics of
4:29
it. And look, in the moment, it felt right. I mean,
4:32
he could have kicked a field goal, they could have pooch punted.
4:35
He went forward and didn't it turn it the momentum a little bit? Yeah,
4:39
But that didn't lose a game? Did it? Up? Twenty four
4:42
to ten? They didn't lose a game. Eh, it probably did.
4:46
I mean they looked they lost by three. There's two field goals that is
4:50
the difference. But look, Dan Campbell goes for it. He's aggressive.
4:56
I like it. I like it about him. I do too, I
5:00
do too. And you're seeing I mean Lane Kiffin does it down on the
5:03
high school. Sam Williams does it I mean, you're seeing all cross football
5:06
people are doing it, and you know they get they're trusting their defense.
5:11
They get across the fifty, they're right there across the fifty. They feel
5:14
pretty good about it. When you make it, nobody says a word.
5:17
Everybody collaps, golf collaps. Let's keep going. You miss it, people
5:21
start criticizing it, but these coaches aren't going to go back in their shell.
5:25
Dan Campbell's not going back any shell. He is who he is.
5:30
The other game, What was your thoughts on that Lamar Jackson again swing and
5:33
miss in a major playoff game. I was not surprised at all that actually
5:40
win exactly as I expected. I thought the Chiefs would win. I kinda
5:46
had given jack Lamar Jackson more b of the d though, because he has
5:54
a rotten playoff record and we've talked about that. But I kind of like
6:00
this year was different. Although I didn't have faith in him to win the
6:04
game, but he definitely played a big part in blowing it. I mean,
6:11
you look at Patrick Mahomes thirty of thirty nine, two hundred and forty
6:15
one yards and a touchdown. I mean Lamar Jackson a touchdown on a pick
6:18
twenty of thirty seven. He had eight carries for fifty four yards. But
6:24
I mean, I don't know that we give this Kansas City defense enough credit.
6:27
It's pretty good defense, and I would say take the under in the
6:30
Super Bowl. What do you think? I think it's a low scoring ball
6:33
game. I don't know that we see it could be first one to seventeen,
6:38
just like the Chiefs Ravens game. How confident are you two weeks out
6:42
from this thing? So you don't feel like some of the conspiracy theorists that
6:49
this is just a total sigh up and it's going to be a Chiefs win.
6:57
Now, what are you trying to turn this into? I'm just asking
7:00
talking about these psyops, this this Taylor Swift. No, see, you
7:03
already started seven minutes into this. You had to bring her into this,
7:08
You had to bring it up. Look, I have more of a problem
7:12
if we're gonna if we are going to hate a you know, some pop
7:17
tart artist. My beef is more with Olivia Rodrigo than Taylor Swift. You
7:23
know, I told you last week I am I'm numb to this Taylor Swift
7:26
crap. It's annoying and it's way too much. But it's been four months
7:30
now. We should be used to it. It's just part of the NFL
7:32
now. It's not even her fault. It's that it's these cameras they put
7:36
on her all the time now. But I do hope there is a snaffoo
7:41
in the Super Bowl where, because I'm convinced now that that there's every network
7:47
that there's a game that she's gonna be at. I think they devote a
7:53
camera that's on her the entire game, all sixty minutes, so they can
7:57
just pick and choose when you go. So I hope what happens the CBS
8:01
has a snap woo somewhere in the game. They switched to the wrong camera
8:07
and it's left there for like twenty minutes, just a shot of her,
8:13
just leave it there. No, I'm sure they do that. I'm sure
8:15
they have a dedicated camera. Let's see magic Mike Beaver's Niners against Matt Wyatt's
8:20
Chiefs. Is there a wager on the horizon? Are you and Matt betting
8:26
on this thing? I feel like we should. There needs to be something.
8:33
I don't know if Matt Wyatt would bet, he may bet you some
8:37
country pleasing sausage or something. I'll take that. Take that wager, and
8:41
if you lose, you have to get him some country pleasing and maybe some
8:43
little Debbie snackcakes. You can make Matt Wyatt bet on this. Just make
8:48
it stuff he likes. True, that's what you can do. All right.
8:52
Let's see a lot of news to get into a lot of news to
8:54
get into NBA viewership. Can tin used the falls South Carolina at LSU this
9:01
past weekend, a women's basketball game tour through the Celtics Heat as far as
9:07
ratings, can you believe that Celtics Heat dominated by South Carolina at LSU women's
9:13
basketball And also over the weekend, Michigan has promoted of course, we knew
9:18
this offensive coordinator Sharon Moore to be their head football coach courtesy of Adam Schefter
9:24
and others. And also let's see here, we'll get into this story a
9:28
little bit later on. And this is not unique. It's part of the
9:31
deal. Ole miss lost eight point four million dollars on women's basketball last year,
9:37
football pace for every other sport, you know, basically to lose tens
9:39
of millions of dollars, which is pretty crazy that they've lost that much money
9:43
in women's basketball. Speaking of basketball, new AP Top twenty five is out
9:48
Yukon still at number one per due to North Carolina, three Houston, and
9:50
then Tennessee. That's your top five. Coming in at twenty five is TCU,
9:56
followed by Alabama twenty four, Oklahoma BYU, and then up the chain
10:00
they go. Over the weekend. In SEC basketball, of course, Misssippi
10:03
State gets a big win against Auburn. Let me go back and pull right
10:09
here, and just over the weekend, Georgia was defeated by Florida one O
10:16
two to ninety eight. Missouri was defeated by South Carolina seventy two to sixty
10:20
four. Misceibby State wins sixty four to fifty eight over number eight previously number
10:24
eight Auburn. You had Tennessee number five in the country. Now of course
10:28
they're down a number four seventy five sixty two. Kentucky pulls away late against
10:35
Arkansas, sixty three to fifty seven. Arkansas was up in that game for
10:37
most of the first half. LSU Alabama. Alabama wins one O nine to
10:41
eighty eight, and Ole Miss gets a win over Texas A and M seventy
10:45
one to sixty eight. And if we look at the the updated SEC basketball
10:52
standings headed into the week, of course we got another big week. They
10:56
all get bigger and bigger as you head towards March Madness. Alabama sits on
11:00
top of the conference at fourteen and six, six and one, Tennessee number
11:03
two at five and one a half a game back fifteen and four, followed
11:07
by three teams South Carolina, Auburn, Kentucky at five and two, seventeen
11:11
and three, sixteen and four, fifteen and four, Ole miss at four
11:13
and three, Florida four and three, and Georgia four and three. All
11:16
four we'll see Ole Missus seventeen and three, Georgia and Florida fourteen and six,
11:22
Mississippi State three and four, fourteen and six. And you know that
11:26
may be the cut line right there. Texas A and M is still right
11:28
there at twelve and eight. That's probably going to be the cut line.
11:31
So you're looking at what two, four, six, eight, nine teams
11:35
nine teams vying. I don't know that the SEC would get nine. A
11:37
lot of people says eight is where they could possibly be for the NCAA tournament.
11:41
We've got a long way to go. Saturday down South. Rank the
11:45
SEC coaches. Connor Ogara. You need to Dan O'Connor, get him back
11:50
on the show. It's been a while. Kirby smart number one. These
11:54
are Connor Ogearrea rankings, LSU's Chip Chip Kelly, Brian Kelly number two,
11:58
Kevin Neibour number thre, Eylan Kiffin Old miss number four, Sarkesian stoops at
12:03
six, Sarkisian at five, Josh Heipel at number seven, Hugh Fhre's number
12:07
eight, Eli drinkwitzs Missouri number nine, Elko out at Texas A and m
12:13
number ten, followed by Brent Venables at number eleven, Shane Beemer twelve,
12:18
Sam Pittman thirteen, billiy Napier fourteen, Clarkelee fifteen, and Jeff Levey sixteen.
12:22
Would you put Jeff Levy as the best is the worst coach in the
12:26
SEC? I don't know that you can do that. Clarkelee's pretty pretty bad
12:30
at Vanderbilt. Billy Naper's pretty bad, Sam Pittman's pretty bad. Shane Beemer
12:35
is just okay, But anyway, for fun, that's his Hey, did
12:39
you see what the Detroit Free Press tweeted after the game says, final you
12:43
know what happened. They didn't even put a score. They didn't even put
12:48
a score out there. Six ho one eight five three seven seven six.

13:58
through the day, we are streaming on the Zone one of five nine dot
14:03
com New Michigan coach Sharon Moore, if you got any thoughts on the NFL
14:07
playoffs who you'd picking for the Super Bowl? You know what was interesting about
14:13
the Taylor Swift thing. And I paid attention to this yesterday, by the
14:15
way, because we read an article that last week says, oh, the
14:18
analytics are out and everybody's everybody's wrong on this. Taylor Swift's only shown two
14:22
or three times a ballgame. I counted five in the first half yesterday.
14:26
Five. I stopped counting in the second half. Five. I bet you
14:31
she was shown by the end of the postgame and everything twenty So that whole
14:37
thing's out the wash in the wash. But Sharon Moore got his wish and
14:41
is now officially the Michigan Man, New Michigan Man. So you got to
14:43
ask yourself, though, how will he fare against the likes of next year's
14:46
schedule. This is coming up with your Texas, USC, Michigan State,
14:48
Oregon, Washington, and Ohio State, so it'll be interesting to see.
14:54
We do have a rematch, of course, in the Super Bowl coming up
14:56
here in two weeks. Do you watch the Pro Bowl or are you gonna
15:01
watch? Haven't they turned that thing into a flag football game? Now?
15:05
Yeah, they do different events. There's a flag football, they play dodgeball,
15:09
they're throwing competitions. I can't remember the other thing, but yeah,
15:13
it's it's no longer a football game. It's little events like that. Is
15:20
that a good thing? I don't watch it? Or is it I watched
15:24
last year? I watched them play dodgeball. I liked the dodgeball. I
15:30
didn't watch much else of it, you know, if it was And I
15:35
remember the Pro Bowl when I was a kid. I used to love the
15:37
Pro Bowl because, in the innocence and unmature mind of a young person,
15:43
you think, wow, the Pro Bowl, best on best, What a
15:50
disappointment those things are, right, any of them? NBA All Star Game,
15:54
Major League Baseball game, NFL? Are they are these leagues cheating the
16:00
public bottle? Not really doing that? Yeah? I could see that argument.
16:06
You're especially not getting best off best versus best Pro Bowl anymore because let's
16:12
say Patrick Mahomes is a Pro Bowler. Well, if he's in the Super
16:15
Bowl, he's not gonna play his backup. Probably opts for a vacation,
16:22
they pull out. So really it's third best, third best quarterback in that
16:27
situation. Yeah, on three has kind of called it so to speak on
16:33
their recruiting rankings, And obviously you've got another National Signing Day coming up here
16:36
in a couple weeks. But Georgia one, Bama two, Oregon three,
16:40
Ohio State four in Miami at five, that's your top five ole miss set
16:44
twenty. And I do have some thoughts on some of these leagues because especially
16:48
as I'm cranking through the talent metrics, because again you have to account now
16:52
for the transfer portal. And again talko with Kelly Ford of k Ford Ratings
16:59
a couple of weeks to go privately about this. We were just talking about
17:02
quantifying numbers, quantifying rosters because of the transfer portal. Now it's it's an
17:07
educated guess how to do this because there are no longer four year recruiting metrics.
17:14
It's just it's not the same. Like if you took all four classes
17:18
of MISSISPI, State and Role missing, you averaged them up, that's not
17:21
even who's on the team. There's a portion of that on the team,
17:23
but it's not even hardly half. And the transfer portal is a lot of
17:27
that. That's like, let me tell you something I found this weekend.
17:30
I thought that was interesting cranking through some of this stuff. Let's go to
17:33
the ACC. Spend some time in the ACC this weekend. Not physically mentally.
17:41
That's a scary thing. Do you know who has the best roster coming
17:47
into this year in the ACC? Miami? Miami does. Miami has the
17:52
best roster talent roster on paper in the ACC. They have recruited the last
17:56
three YEARSBER five class this year eight and thirteen. Their transfer portal two year
18:07
metric evaluation that I have come up with, they're sending it about a fifteen
18:11
and a half, which means they rank around fifteen and a half. So
18:14
they've done well in the transfer portal. They've done well in recruiting, and
18:18
they edge out Florida State is number two by just a little bit. Clemson
18:22
has fallen to number three and kind of at a large degree, believe it
18:29
or not. I mean, Clemson has ranked sixty first in the transfer portal
18:33
and their classes have gone twelve eleven and fourteen. So and of course you
18:37
get out in North Carolina, n C State and Louisville. But what's interesting
18:41
about this is because I've already done the three year metrics for the SEC where
18:45
Alabama and Georgia is still are at the top, but it's Texas right there
18:48
too. Texas is right there too. I mean, there's not a dime's
18:52
worth of difference in those teams. And I've already done the big tim where
18:56
Oregon is just ahead of Ohio State. And here's what's interesting. I think
19:02
this is from the transfer port. Now again, you've got to just this
19:04
is talent only. This is not coaches, This is not quarterbacks. This
19:08
is not big play. You know, you know, one team's got a
19:11
massive wide receiver where the other teams maybe don't. Or you know, you
19:15
take Alabama, they didn't have that home run threat like in Ohio State had
19:19
this year, or you know, Michigan at certain times, Miami has just
19:25
as good a talent as all of these teams coming into this year. Watch
19:32
Miami. That's why they I think this is why they win in I'm not
19:36
saying I'm just saying, watch Miami. Watch Miami. This is why they
19:40
went in on camp Cameron Ward, I'm fully this this the bell went off
19:45
after looking at this city. Yep, this this They're trying to make their
19:49
like oh Miss, like Ohio State. They're going all in money shot,
19:56
trying to get that home run. But Miami has vastly disappointed, vastly disappointed,
20:03
much like Texas A and m So you have to be careful with Miami.
20:08
And let's go look and see just cross references with Vegas and look and
20:15
see what Vegas has the Miami Football Hurricanes to win the national title. Now
20:19
I am not calling for Miami to win the national title. I'm just that
20:22
was interesting to me when that kind of came across everything. Sixty to one
20:33
be a hell of a pickup, Wasn't it talk about a value bet?
20:37
Sixty to one? They're down there with Kansas State and Washington Auburn. But
20:41
again, you look at Mario Cristobal has this whole thing has just been he
20:48
is going to be. You talk about coaching your way out of ball games,
20:52
he coaches. I mean he has coached Miami and Oregon out of ball
20:56
games. This was a seven and six team last year, seven and six,
21:00
seven wins six losses. They averaged thirty two points a game and they
21:04
gave up twenty three. This should have been a ten win ball game,
21:07
right, ten win ball team? By those numbers. If you average over
21:11
thirty points a game and you give up less than twenty three and a half,
21:14
you should be a ten win ball team. The numbers show it.
21:15
You absolutely should. And you look at some of these losses that they had.
21:19
They had a three three point loss to Georgia Tech, which he screwed
21:23
that up. That had a ten point loss to North Carolina. They had
21:29
a touchdown loss to Florida State, a six point lost to Louisville, and
21:32
a six point loss to Rutgers. Let's go to Gator Matt, Matt,
21:33
welcome in. Who's the first game of the year. Well, aren't they
21:40
coming up there to the swamp? Yes, sure they are. How about
21:42
that? Who you got in that? Jake? I would have to say,
21:47
I'm gonna lean Miami in that. Jh Yeah, who the fuck it?
21:52
Of course? Absolutely? Hey, Jake, did I see it's Stanford
21:59
in the ACC? Yes? Explain that to me. At what does the
22:03
ACC? Stanford? Jake? Well, it's the Atlantic Coast Conference. I
22:07
mean I guess if you're a flat earther, you can make that work in
22:10
your head somehow. How Uh, I can't wait to I can't wait to
22:15
follow that volleyball matchup between those two schools versus Stanford. How about get you
22:21
some of that? Yeah? I mean how much money? I mean,
22:26
first of all, how much money are they gonna lose? Taking the uh?
22:30
Taking the softball team over there and plays just ridiculous. So you're who
22:38
you got to the Super Bowl? Are you taking? Are you taking Stanford?
22:41
Or are you taking Taylor's boyfriend? Oh? I'm all in on San
22:45
Francisco. Oh you are? Why because Taylor Swift he can't stand again.
22:49
You just the whole Chief setup. I just can't deal with that. That
22:52
whole thing's too much. How I mean, how does Detroit lose that game?
22:59
I mean, look, I'm a Dan Campbell fan? Is that name?
23:00
I love the guy? But I mean, good lord, I mean
23:06
he just gave that game away. Jake, all right, so you're taking
23:10
Miami. Well, hey, we're gonna circle back around. We're gonna put
23:12
something else. I think you already owe me a three piece at bow Jangles.
23:15
We're gonna have to parlay that into sumthing bigger. You got it,

fifteen, you can text as six er one eight eight five three seven seven
24:59
six. That is the Cowboy Maloney's text line, Let's see here, un
25:03
named Texter. Does Rob Jay have an opinion on the Taylor Swift situation with
25:08
the Chiefs? I know he's a Chiefs fan. Did Rob ever speak of
25:12
Swift to you? Yeah, it's been a little while since I've talked to
25:18
Rob, but as of a month ago, he well, when it all
25:23
started, like because remember it was late September. There's no reason for me
25:30
to remember this. It was the September twenty fourth game against the Bears when
25:36
that whole thing started. Because I'm not gonna say that name because side note,
25:41
you know last night White Denzel, you know he mentioned on the uh
25:47
the one o five to nine Facebook thing. He's like, oh, Jake
25:49
and Beaver are gonna have fun talking about this, And at that point I
25:52
realized, Jake, I'm gonna ahead and tell you now because you keep bringing
25:56
it up. I refuse to be a part of any more than these stories.
26:00
For the next two weeks. I'm not gonna talk about that. Guh,
26:03
So you're not gonna offer No people want to hear your opinion. They
26:07
don't they do, they don't they tune in here to hear your opinion?
26:10
One they do mine? No, I don't think so. But let me
26:11
give you back to Rob Jay's opinion though. So back when it started,
26:17
I think October is when I first started asking him how he felt about it,
26:22
and he's said he didn't even know who Taylor Swift was, which I
26:27
respect that if you can avoid that in life, in everyday life, that's
26:34
commendable. That's that's nice that you can stay away from those things. But
26:41
eventually, obviously he started seeing it and he was not pleased. No,
26:45
he doesn't like it, doesn't like it at all. Texas with your questions
26:48
comment six hour one eighty five three seven seven six, you can always call
26:51
us six hour one eight nine seven one zero five nine. And people were
26:55
doing some digging on Mario Crystalbaal. This whole Miami thing has got me perplexed.
27:00
But you look at Christabaal, this is interesting stuff here. I did
27:03
not realize his overall coaching record is seventy four and seventy three now He spent
27:10
a large part of that twenty seven to twelve at FIU, where it was
27:14
very lackluster, very lackluster, I mean obviously a positional coach. At Miami,
27:21
he played for the Hurricanes offensive tackle and played for the Amsterdam Admirals nineteen
27:30
ninety five ninety six. Did you know that? Do you know Amsterdam had
27:32
a football team, spent some time at Rutgers back at the U FIU,
27:37
got a head coaching job, didn't do well. He went to the Alabama
27:40
rehabilitation camp of Nick Saban for three years, was the cooc offensive line coach
27:47
for Oregon. Got the Oregon job twenty eighteen to twenty one, did well
27:49
there. But at Miami he is literally twelve and thirteen, twelve and thirteen.
27:57
And what's going to be interesting about the Kynes is it's really now or
28:00
never for them to make a big, big move because they have this roster
28:04
they have built. They have their quarterback and like you said, though,
28:10
and look this goes back to Manny Diaz. I mean, quarterbacks have kind
28:14
of gone there to die. I remember we referenced de Eric King from Houston,
28:18
who was really good, went down there and just he did all right.
28:21
Quarterbacks are just done all right there, So it's just something to think
28:23
about. All right, Let's see here, and I will get into some
28:26
of these players that are number one through five or ten or whatever. For
28:33
instance, Ohio States Jeremiah Smith, wide receiver out of Hollywood, Florida Rady
28:36
the number one player in the country at Ohio State, I'll come back to
28:38
that. We do have a mock draft in the NFL. Also, Alabama's
28:41
Jalen Milroe speaks publicly about why he stayed at Alabama, and I found this
28:48
interesting. The SEC is not going to penalize the horns down. Did you
28:56
see this? How about that? Thank you SEC. If you want to
29:00
throw them, throw them, isn't that good? Isn't that good? I
29:03
guarantee you Oklahoma loves it too. So just know if if your team is
29:08
playing Texas this year and you want to throw some horns down, you're not
29:12
gonna get penalized, nor your team's not gonna get pillized. So that's that's
29:15
really good for the SEC. Thank you SEC for doing that. All right
29:21
here, let me move back ranking the NFL playoff heartbreaking losses. After yesterday,
29:26
Lions joined an all time list let's revisit some of the heartbreaks. Shall
29:32
we honorable mention here, and we're going to work backwards from honorable mention down
29:37
to the number one Houston Oilers. In the nineteen ninety two AFC Wildcard,
29:45
Houston owens the distinction of blowing the biggest lead in playoff history. Led by
29:48
Warren Moon, the Oilers raced out on a lot of you remember this that
29:52
are old enough. Do you remember? Did you remember this game? They
29:53
were up thirty five to three over the Bills, thirty five to three,
29:57
but they were unable to stop a runaway train that day. They lost it
30:03
forty one to thirty eight, and that was just to me. You talk
30:08
about it. And by the way, that was led by backup quarterback Frank
30:11
Reich. Nineteen ninety two, that gets an honorable mention. That's to Houston
30:15
Owlers as they lost a thirty five to three lead. Number five on this
30:21
list. Nineteen eighty six AFC Championship Game, Cleveland led twenty to thirteen over
30:26
the Denver Broncos. Had the Broncos penned at their own two yard line,
30:30
but that's when John Elway, who later became known for his comebacks, captain
30:34
comeback led Denver to a through a ninety eight yard drive, but the game
30:40
tying touchdown passed to force overtime. The Browns then lost in overtime. Do
30:42
you remember that game nineteen eighty six Browns l Way just kind of hits the
30:48
center on the butt two yard line. Let's go take some ninety eight yards.
30:53
Yeah, that was before my football watching days. That was only four.
30:59
Oh okay, I'll give you that pass Number four, nineteen ninety eight
31:03
NFC Championship game. The Vikings looked like a shoe in to reach the Super
31:07
Bowl that season after a fifteen and one regular season. Minnesota led the upstart
31:14
Falcons by a touchdown and had Gary Anderson, who had missed a field goal
31:18
all year up to that point, lining up for a thirty eight yard field
31:22
goal that would have put the game away. Anderson shockingly missed the kick,
31:26
giving the Falcons life just over two minutes left, and of course, Atlanta
31:30
took advantage by tying the score and forcing overtime and went on to win Number
31:34
three Buffalo Bills in Super Bowl fifteen, the only Super Bowl decided by one
31:42
point came down to a field goal try with eight seconds left. Of course,
31:45
that's the Scott Norwood, the famous hooked the kick wide wright, securing
31:52
a Giants twenty to nineteen win. And did they have two backup quarterbacks in
31:57
that game? I can't remember. Didn't Jeff Hostetler quarterback the Giants in that
32:01
game? I think he did. It was Jim Kelly, the quarterback was
32:06
at Frank Craig, I think it was. I think it was Kelly.
32:08
I'll go back and look. Number two the Lions yesterday, Lion fans didn't
32:15
you know, I felt so bad because they kept going to the Lions stadium.
32:17
They had the stadium Pact. Those people just have to be gutted,
32:23
right, they have to be gutted. And of course the Lions Lion fans
32:30
surely could taste the trip to the Super Bowl by the half, but what
32:32
followed was an avalanche that didn't end until the forty nine Ers had built a
32:37
ten point lead late in the fourth quarter. The forty nine Ers, of
32:38
course, played much better in the second half and the Lions came up on
32:43
the short end of the stick. And Number one, of course, is
32:45
the Falcons in the Super Bowl. Everybody remembers that, right, Falcons in
32:47
the Super Bowl, and do you remember where you were on that game?
32:52
Yep, twenty eight to three. Here comes tom Brady, does what Tom
32:57
Brady does? Hey, can you make a Macomb's mahomes is catching tom Brady?
33:05
Yeah? Yet I think so. I think you can. I really
33:09
think you can. And of course if he goes on to win this year
33:13
in the sigh Oup super Bowl, then can we call it that the sie
33:17
up super Bowl? Can we do that? Hey? You can? You

35:02
a spar As a Thursday, could you just curious if he's going to have
35:07
a prop bet on the over under how many commercials Travis Kelsey would be during
35:09
the Super Bowl? Biaber, what did you think of the show Friday Night?
35:15
So Biab, before I get to it, I bet you there will
35:16
be like three and a half on Travis Kelcey commercials. But how was the
35:22
show Friday Night that you went to? So about that freaking Benjamin at the
35:28
old Jitney Jungle, which is always a Jitney Jungle in my heart? I
35:31
don't know. I didn't see it. Why so I went and picked Saints
35:37
Bro up. Okay, I drove. How about that Jake? Hey?
35:43
You know, you know I'm not a man who enjoys to drive. Is
35:45
already disgusting outside too. I go pick Saints Brow up. We go to
35:51
this thing. They had said that the jabrone that was opening would start at
35:58
seven, so we get there about seven forty five. No one has played
36:02
yet, so anyway, we're standing there. We're standing there in the beverage
36:08
line, and Saints Bro looks around and he says to me, He goes,
36:14
I've made a tactical error. Let's bail a tactical error. What was
36:21
a tactical error? He didn't feel good about his surroundings. He didn't feel
36:25
good about the people. It was a very odd crowd because this as soon
36:30
as as soon as we stepped out of the car, which this thing,
36:34
the parking lot and overflow parking lots were packed. So the first thing I
36:39
see when we did get a parking space. It was such a weird mixture.
36:44
But you know, concerts are always pretty fun to people watch. Yeah,
36:49
the first thing I see was there was, you know, an old
36:52
redneck gentleman looking gentlemen. He was wearing his denim jeans and cowboy boots,
36:59
but on his arm was this blonde salute with short, short, short cut
37:07
off jeans and those real high, high heeled slutty boots that went up like
37:15
just below her knee. It was such a weird combination. So it was
37:19
older cowboys with younger sluts on their arms, and there was a lot of
37:23
I wasn't ready for this. There were a good bit of emo slash death
37:30
rock dressed people. Anyway, so y'all left. Yeah, it wasn't yeah,
37:37
because Saint present very and he's, well, he's judgmental of those folks.
37:44
But I'll tell you his motivation in his mind is he just wanted to
37:49
go to his guzz house. Oh gosh. Yeah, so you missed a
37:53
concert, paid for it, then went in, and then just left.
37:57
Yeah. I didn't feel bad about it, though, because you know,
38:00
it's not like breaking. Benjamin's a favorite of mine. I got you,
38:05
Saint Louis VIC. A huge part of the conversation on the National Radio Network
38:09
show last night was if Taylor will be able to fly in after her Tokyo
38:15
concert in time to make the game. A coworker said to me that no
38:19
one wanted an all Midwest super Bowl, so the Lions taint the season at
38:25
the half. Lol. Yeah, I did see that. She's got a
38:29
Tokyo concert she's doing. It. May not be able to make it.
38:32
You know, she's gonna make it. You know what's going to happen,
38:35
don't you. She is going to pair trooper into this thing. They are
38:42
going to skydive this this sye op into the Super Bowl. That's what's going
38:47
to happen. How else is she going to just get there from Tokyo.
38:52
They're gonna put her on an overnight flight. Nobody's telling me this, but
38:57
it's pretty obvious to me. An overnight flight like military bird, and they're
39:02
going to attach her to some paratrooper and bring her in on a parachute,
39:07
probably singing truth be told. Oh my god, Yeah, I already told
39:14
you. I refuse to engage and talk for the next two weeks about that.
39:16
But there's so many thoughts I have. Now you are inventing all kinds
39:22
of scenarios for this girl. How what you gonna get her back here from
39:24
Tokyo? She has a private jet. I don't know, because you know
39:30
all the the who are these people of the climate the climate people? Oh
39:37
yeah, remember the study they did. They dedicated all these studies to oh,
39:42
how dare this person you know travel in their private jets so much?
39:46
And it was her specifically, so she uses her private jet a lot.
39:52
Let's see, I think I've got a story on this somewhere. Yeah,
39:54
it's right here. It says Taylor Swift attending Super Bowl to watch the Chiefs.
39:59
How her it's actually how her Japan tour dates align with the big game
40:02
in Las Vegas. Let's look right quick. It says Swift will be performing
40:07
in Tokyo right before the Super Bowl. Has a way to be there in
40:10
person. Let's see. Let me get through the fluff of this thing.
40:15
Swift is schedule to perform in Tokyo the week leading up to the Super Bowl.
40:20
Let's see, what is this? Fifty eight? Are we in fifty
40:22
eight? Is this the fifty eighth Super Bowl? Does that sound right,
40:27
which Kelsey would be playing in her final show in Japan. The leg is
40:30
Saturday, February tenth at six pm Tokyo time. The super Bowl is Sunday,
40:36
February eleventh, six thirty Eastern. This does give her some time to
40:40
make the big game, but not much time. Time zones do help.
40:45
Tokyo is fourteen hours ahead of the East Coast, meaning she will be going
40:51
back in time. Don't you like that? So she's going to be in
40:54
space ghost time machine in a way when she travels back to the United States.
40:59
Make things slightly easier, Swift does not go on stage right as the
41:04
show begins. If she goes on stage around eight pm local in Japan and
41:08
performs for over three hours, as she has been during the tour, she'll
41:14
be on stage to at least eleven pm Tokyo time. Luckily for Swift,
41:16
she does not have to worry about going through long security lines the airports blah
41:21
blah blah, like you said, because of her jet. If she leaves
41:23
right at midnight, a ten to twelve hour flight would put her in Las
41:28
Vegas around ten am to noon, which is Saturday at eight to ten pm
41:35
Eastern, So there is a strategy to get her back. There's a strategy.
41:43
What are you counting over there? I'm counting a minute in twenty six
41:45
seconds you just spent breaking down how she's gonna get to the super Bowl like
41:52
you just went into this. And you know what I've learned about you?
41:55
I use it a lot. The only way to point things out to you
41:59
is to compare what you've done to to basically shame you, to tell you
42:05
people that you hate that have done the same thing. And what I notice
42:07
here, Saint Louis Vickisman, he says that was a big topic on the
42:12
National Radio Network. I take that to mean ESPN Radio. You know you
42:19
hate the people at ESPN Radio. Don't huge jersually, I just don't like
42:22
their content. You just went down into the same thing he said they did
42:27
last night. Why do you always do this? A minute forty two seconds
42:32
mapping out the flight patterns of swifty is what you've just done here. I'm
42:38
gonna take a break from this. Thank you for doing that. Sixth hour
42:42
of one eight eight five three seven seven six. That is the cawbo Maloney's
42:45
tech sign. Let's see here real quickly. Miko for Mahomes to catch and
42:52
pass Brady. Andy Reid will have to stay in place much like old Bill
42:55
did with Brady, except for the last one. And Taylor Swift will change
43:00
the time of the concerts. What he says also warrigle Jeremy tell Beeve he
43:07
needs to calm down. Oh, Jared, I see what you've done there.
43:10
Those are swifty lyrics MPT for MSU the CT Swift land in a parachute
43:20
is well, a Special Forces guy would be worth the price of mission.
43:23
I'm telling you this, what's going to happen. She's paratrooping in I would
43:27
not be shocked one bit. All right, Well, I'm Chris Landry coming

43:43
to refresh that. I don't understand what that computer is doing. It's it
43:46
needs to be taken out and used as target practice. Millwood, who cares
43:51
about Swift getting to the Super Bowl? So disappointed in you, Jake.
43:55

45:15
how are you? I'm doing good? Jake? How are you doing this
45:19
Monday? Doing good? You know? I don't think yesterday disappointed and the
45:22
Super Bowl's got, you know, a lot to live up to to beat
45:25
yesterday's drama. And let's jump off into that. I do have some college
45:29
I want to ask you about a couple of coaches, but NBAF, I
45:30
mean NFL, excuse me center stage. As of yesterday, Let's go with
45:36
the first game. Were you surprised at what you saw? Of course,
45:38
Lamar Jackson taking some heat again for you know, not playing the best in
45:43
the biggest moments. But your thoughts on that ballgame yesterday with the Chiefs and
45:46
the Baltimore Ravens. I'm not surprised that the Chiefs played well I'm not surprised
45:52
that they won. I was surprised of the offensive game plan for Baltimore,
46:00
completely perplexing. I think, I just you know Todd Munkin, who's done
46:06
a really nice job there, obviously former Georgia of finch Cord. There was
46:09
completely outmatch in this game, and he had no answers. And this is
46:15
what I worry a little bit about at times. You know, experience in
46:19
pro ball and coaching in the NFL, it's different than in college. You
46:22
win in college in December and February. In recruiting, I mean, you
46:29
can you know, there's there are things you can do to augment and help
46:31
you. But in the NFL, when you get playoff level, you can
46:37
you can get out coached and out school. And I just they ran the
46:40
football six times. This is a team that's built around the running game.
46:44
They didn't attempt to run and it wasn't like they were out of the game.
46:47
It wasn't like the Chiefs scored thirty points, so they had no quick
46:53
game. They had no running game. And Steve Spagnola, who's phenomenal,
47:00
one of the great defensive coordinators of our time in big games, I mean,
47:04
he's the guy that remember that basically put the game plan together to beat
47:08
the unbeaten Patriots and Tom Brady and that magical run that they had, and
47:13
I saw that firsthand in Arizona. He did it a fantastic job. They
47:16
played a lot of nickel, they played small, they played fast, and
47:22
you know they they got They got away from the running game and they didn't
47:24
have any quick pass game. They were in deep drops. That's not what
47:29
Lamar Jackson springs. It was almost like, we're gonna show you that we
47:32
can throw it from the pocket and beat to that way instead of well,
47:38
we're gonna win and do what we do best. And I just thought it
47:43
was awful. And I thought they really did a disservice to that offense because
47:50
I thought the defense hung in there pretty well. Kansas City is so well
47:53
coached, They've got the best quarterback around. And you know they didn't again,
47:58
they didn't score a ton of points, didn't need to. That's a
48:00
perfect example of adjustments. I go back to Kansas City on Christmas Day getting
48:07
deep by the Raiders and they had no answers and it was awful. They
48:09
were dropping balls left and right, and you saw the game against Buffalo and
48:14
how they had made the mistake to the end, they've regrouped. We're gonna
48:19
run the football, We're gonna rely on our defense, and we're gonna play
48:23
off of that, and then that's gonna open up and let the passing game
48:27
breathe. And here they are in the Super Bowl in a year where it
48:30
was, well, what are Chief's gonna do? That was the question I
48:32
got asked all year long, is well, what they can't catch the football,
48:36
the tackles can't protect. Here's what we're gonna do. This is coaching
48:40
coaching one oh one. We can run the football well and play defense.
48:45
That's what we're gonna do. And we're gonna slow down people's pass rush because
48:49
they're gonna have to defend the run first, and then that will allow us
48:52
to kind of build on that and get the passing game going. And then
48:55
guys like Kelsey and uh even uh uh Marquez out there scandling making a couple
49:00
of big plays. Ra sheid Rice picking up. It's just, you know,
49:04
whereas the Ravens have been consistent all year long, but then they get
49:07
to the biggest games and they don't. They're ill equipped in a game plan
49:13
that quite frankly, you know, gave them. They give them very little
49:17
chance to win, and they still had opportunities. I thought they were undisciplined.
49:22
I thought they got frustrated, but they made way too many mistakes.
49:24
They had three turnovers, but they didn't play well from a sideline standpoint and
49:30
on the field standpoint and the Chiefs Experience Show, then coaching shows. Chris

49:44
All right, so Chris, you're sitting there and you're watching Detroit. Would
49:46
looks like they're just gonna run away with this thing. And then everybody's going
49:50
to circle the fourth down call by Dan Campbell and there's a lot of criticism
49:55
to that. Are you in that camp or I'll be honest with you,
49:59
when I was in real time, I said, this is the call,
50:00
Like you go ahead and you try to put this thing away or was that
50:05
ultimately the wrong call? Well, a couple of things, you know,
50:09
and I've learned this in the league for a long time, and you know,
50:13
coaching in college for a while. As I mentioned, it's different when
50:15
you get in the NFL. You got to do two things in playoff football.
50:21
You got to coach your team and you got to coach the game.
50:23
And I think people missed the coaching the game part. Yeah. I thought
50:29
Dan did what he felt he needed to do because that's how his team is
50:34
built, and that's fine, it's what's got him to this point. But
50:37
I thought after dominating in the first half, and by the way, it
50:42
could have been worse. It could have been twenty eight, maybe even thirty
50:45
four or thirty five. I mean it was, but they had an almost
50:52
flawless first half. You get into the second half. You if people say,
50:58
well, you shouldn't coach different with the oh, you absolutely have to
51:00
coach different with the league. You have to. It's a game of football
51:06
with a clock and you don't sit on the ball. But you have to
51:08
be smart and you have to be really prudent with your decisions. I thought
51:13
it was a little risky for me at fourteen with a chance to go up
51:19
seventeen. It's not the three points because look, you could have missed a
51:23
field goal, just like they missed the fourth down conversion. When you miss
51:30
a field goal and you miss converting on a fourth down, that's the same
51:34
thing as a turnover. That's the same thing as a fumble. It's the
51:37
same thing as an interception. I know field position may factor a little bit
51:40
into where those things occur, but it's a turnover in any way you look
51:45
at it. I think if you go up and go up seventeen, excuse
51:52
me, you go up another possession, then you're in a position to where
51:57
you eliminate any form of momentum boost from San Francisco. And that's where I
52:04
think they were fighting now by going far it no question they convert it,
52:09
they go down, eat some more clock, even though it's early, get
52:13
a field goal later, or get a touchdown. It's probably out of reach
52:16
for San Francisco. And that's what he's trying to do, is going for
52:19
the knockoff finds. So I get that, I understand it, but I
52:23
also think you have to look at his team. His team was not able
52:27
to defend the pass, and I think the only thing was the high pressure
52:31
in San Francisco not really getting in sync offensively helped their cause a little bit,
52:38
but I think they felt like he couldn't trust his defense enough as well
52:43
as they had played to that point. He wanted to put them away with
52:46
his offense, which that was the strength of Detroit's team, and they dominated
52:50
San Francisco offensive front in the first half. So I understand his move.
52:54
I'm not overly critical of it, but I would have done it differently.
52:59
I would have the field goal to add another three, and because at that
53:04
point it's not like San Francisco at that point JACA was making its run.
53:08
Take a field goal, we get the field go back, you give me.
53:12
I mean, it's a big momentum shift that I think that he missed.
53:17
That's what he missed because in his mind, that's what he's doing.
53:22
It's that's what God is here. That's what we do by God. I'll
53:25
put it in the I get all that, nothing wrong with that. But
53:30
if it doesn't work, then you open yourself up to the fact that was
53:34
that the smartest thing you do. Would you do it again? Dan?
53:37
Well, he probably do it again. At some point. He's got to
53:40
realize that coaching playoff football games in the NFL is different, and you got
53:45
to protect that lead, and you got up when you got a team down.
53:50
Yes, you could put them away with that fourth down call, but
53:52
you also could put another three on the board and put another nail in the
53:57
CAF and then make it more difficult for them to out. I just think
54:00
that that's the part that I see more than just the three points, is
54:06
stop the momentum from you know, or eliminating any possibility of a momentum ship,
54:13
which was all detroits in that era. And then look there's other things.
54:16
You you got an interception, uh that that just dropped, hits the
54:22
space mass and I made a great play. Then you come back and fumble
54:27
and when that started to happen, it was it was you felt that on
54:30
sought at that point. It was like a snowball going downhill and it wasn't
54:34
going to be stopped, but it could have been stopped earlier. And in
54:37

55:40
on x at Landry Football Chris four. We kind of peek at the super
55:44
Bowl and of course we'll talk about that next week in detail. But the
55:47
Lions in Ravens just way too early looking at those teams. Of course,
55:52
lot's gotta happen with the draft. We'll see what happens with the free agency.
55:55
Are they going anywhere? Do you anticipate maybe a step back just a
56:00
ten thousand foot quick flyer with both both those organizations. I thought it was
56:05
interesting what Dan Campbell said last night, and it, boy, it shocked
56:12
me when he said it, because you don't hear coaches say this, but
56:15
it's what I think of all the time. I've been blessed in my career
56:21
to finish several Super Bowls, and beyond the winning in being on the losing
56:28
end. And I've been in the conference championship games and I tell people that
56:32
it is the toughest loss that you can have. You know, losing the
56:36
super Bowl is really tough because you get that close to winning it all and
56:42
you don't get it done. But there's something jake about making it to the
56:45
super Bowl. It's kind of like making it to the Final Four. It's
56:50
an accomplishment in and of itself. When you lose the conference championship game.
56:55
I mean that, I mean it sucks. I mean it is awful.
57:00
It is, in fact, it is. It is one of the things
57:05
that got me out of the business and into consulting because ulcers and health problems.
57:10
I didn't handle it well at all. And I just then Campbell said
57:15
last night, and everybody thinks, well, they made this jump in Detroit,
57:21
and and look how it's gone. I don't know. I mean,
57:24
he's built a good culture. We'll see if Ben Johnson takes the Washington job,
57:30
if he's the guy, we'll know here in probably twenty four forty eight
57:34
hours, who leaves. It's not going to be the same team that the
57:39
division is getting tough for Green Bay's really getting to do better, and Young
57:44
Chicago's getting better. In Minnesota will have to make some tikes. This this
57:49
may have been their best chance. This is I mean, oh you know
57:53
that much. I don't know that they're gonna get back. It's just remember
57:59
it when it used to be. At least I remember when it used to
58:00
be where you know, in their seventies eighties, before they had better free
58:05
agency, you can pick at the end of the season who was going to
58:08
be in the two or three best teams in next year, because you know
58:13
who they were going to bring back, and you know you don't necessarily know
58:16
who they were gonna add it. But the young guys will only be depth
58:19
pieces. Now it's a crap shoot. I mean, I know Kansas City's
58:22
good every year and gonna be good, but I don't know that I can
58:25
say the same for Detroit. I don't know if they're even a playoff team
58:29
nick year. I think they probably will be, but it's gonna be difficult.
58:32
Baltimore, they've got to figure out how to take that next step.
58:37
They've got some of the same issues as well. They've probably got a better
58:39
overall roster than Detroit. But that's what I feel bad. I sit here.
58:45
I'm excited for Kansas City and San Francisco, don't get me wrong,
58:47
but I'm gonna tell you I suffered more in losses like this than I ever
58:53
enjoyed the wins. I know that's Badati, but I am feeling really bad
58:59
for those I do every year, for the teams that lose, because it
59:02
may never be as good as it was this year. And you've got to
59:07
fight that, and you've got to fight that in your building to make sure
59:09
that you don't allow it to get that way, because you're gonna have to
59:14
add some new pieces, maybe some new coaches, and you know, because
59:17
some of them are gonna leave. I think it's gonna be quite the challenge
59:21
for both of them, particularly Detroit. They've got to figure out, you
59:25
know, hey, look, this is something that they're going to build on.
59:28
Now. The expectation is, hey, you're not going to sneak up
59:31
on anybody. You're going to be expected to win. And that's a different
59:36
position that they've been in obviously in a decades. I know, you'll look
59:40
at it all week long and of course we'll talk about it next week,
59:44
but just way too early. Which way do you lean forty nine Ers or
59:47
Chiefs. It's gonna be hard to convince me that the Chiefs won't win this.
59:52
With Andy Reid two weeks to prepare and a Patrick Mahomes, those are
59:58
two advantages that you just and I'm just gonna say this. I looked at
1:00:02
the tape again today and I late last night I was looked in at it.
1:00:07
I mean, San Francisco got out played by Green Bay and Detroit,
1:00:12
and they deserve to be here, but I got to tell you they are
1:00:15
not getting away with that against Kansas City. Uh, They're gonna have to
1:00:20
play light years better. I thought that they would need to play quite a
1:00:24
bit better against Detroit. I thought they would beat Detroit. I thought they
1:00:30
would play a lot better, and they didn't. They got dominated in the
1:00:34
first half. That Detroit running game absolutely ran over them. And if Kansas
1:00:40
City can run the football and you've got Mahomes making plays left and right,
1:00:45
I you know, no, I don't. It's a long way, but
1:00:51
I can't see myself envisioning picking anybody but Kansas City in this game. And
1:00:55
I'm not gonna You know, certainly the Niners are absolutely people of winning it,
1:01:00
but not the way they played the last two weeks. I can tell
1:01:02
you they're going to have to play better, and if they do, then
1:01:06
I like their chances. I know their favorite, but they don't look like
1:01:10
the favorite when I break down the tape. So they got They're going to
1:01:13
have to play much better in my view. Chris Landry talking NFL Football Monday
1:01:16
edition of the program on Exit Landry Footballlandry football dot com. Chris College question,
1:01:21
we'll get you on your way here. I was looking at some recruiting
1:01:23
stuff over the weekend with a lot of the classes that are kind of you
1:01:27
know, coming together and the final rankings. We'll have the national signing they
1:01:30
part two in a couple weeks, but that's kind of a nothing burger compared
1:01:32
to what we get in December. And you know, when you look at
1:01:36
the ACC boy, Miami has really done a great job in the transfer portal
1:01:40
the last three years they have done good. Are very good, five,
1:01:45
eight, and thirteen on their class rankings. Depending on the outlet you look
1:01:47
at, you can make a case that they have the best, at least
1:01:51
on paper. This year, the best roster talent in the ACC. Florida
1:01:54
State's right there, Clemson's right there, they get cam Ward. But then
1:01:59
I look at Mario christ who's I believe seventy five and seventy four in his
1:02:02
career, spend some time at what I call the Nick Saban rehabilitation camp before
1:02:07
he took the job at Oregon. With that roster, the way it looks,
1:02:14
I mean, it looks like they should be really really good this year.
1:02:16
But then you look at Crystaball is is it fair to say that he
1:02:21
is somewhat of a liability for any roster if that makes sense? Yeah,
1:02:24
he looked he's in. First of all, it's the transfer portal in the
1:02:30
modern age of recruiting is which is what flipped things in the favor of Florida
1:02:34
State over Clemson. And it's what's putting Miami over Clemson because they're doing a
1:02:38
better job of acquiring count thing Clemson is. So they've then not just closed
1:02:44
the gap, they've closed it and going the other way. But you hit
1:02:51
on it. I think Florida State's the well coached. They did a really
1:02:54
good job with Mario's It's more than just the debacle again and shortia tech in
1:03:01
the sideline mistakes that team underachieves, you know, quarterback development, how the
1:03:08
players develop in that system. They've got a really good sugar daddy or two
1:03:13
that's involved in the collective that's allowing them to get a lot of talent and
1:03:16
they're doing a good job. Can he put a staff together that's going to
1:03:21
do a better job coaching than what they've done before or is it going to
1:03:23
be a contender underachieving I would make from a roster standpoint, I would agree
1:03:29
with you. They look like the best looking roster in the acc they took,
1:03:34
you know, cam Ward who's now got experience in a lot of experience,
1:03:38
and I think that can be a difference for them. But you know,
1:03:43
I don't trust them until I see much more improvement in terms of the
1:03:49
week to week game planning, in game day adjustments in sideline management that has
1:03:53
cost them and I don't know that I would trust them at this stage of
1:03:58
being any better until I see it. Chris Landry always a great job.

Jake, sorry, jac andb but didn't mean to send you spiraling into the
1:05:46
swift abyss. But I have one more question. Friday. You read a
1:05:50
story about the low number of times she was shown in the previous games,
1:05:55
and you said that you would count the number of times she was shown yesterday.
1:05:59
How many times were she showing? Jake? I counted five in the
1:06:01
first half and then quitted. I quitted, quitted, quit, quit doing
1:06:06
it. I was like, Nope, it's gonna be this thing's gonna go
1:06:09
way over ten. And I'm sure that it probably did go way over ten.
1:06:14
Alabama's Jalen Milroe explains skipping the transfer portal after Kaitlyn de Boor was hired.
1:06:20
Alabama lost thirty players to the transfer portal many since the retirement of Nick
1:06:27
Saban. Quarterback Jalen Milroe, one of the Crimson Tid's most notable players for
1:06:30
this season, has decided to stick around, and since Deboor's arrival, the
1:06:36
Crimson Tide landed six transfers, included three former Washington players. Quote, what's
1:06:44
what's for you is for you and for me is to stay at Alabama.
1:06:47
Melroe set over the weekend via ABC thirty three slash forty News. I've got
1:06:53
a lot of stuff at Alabama. I still want to achieve. Assigned my
1:06:57
letter of intent to come to the University of Alabama. It's all about staying
1:07:00
here and building the guys we have in the locker room. They're a really
1:07:04
good group, super excited about what's ahead for our football team. We're excited
1:07:08
to have coach de bor In and the coaching staff. Milroe, of course,
1:07:12
battle through early discouragement as a junior en route to an All SEC second
1:07:16
team accolades with twenty three touchdowns before heading off to the College Football Playoff,
1:07:23
of course, losing on the last play of the Michigan game. Now,
1:07:25
Milroe enters spring as Alabama's returning starting quarterback, the focal point being you know,
1:07:31
a varied scheme that relies on decision making quickly and of course the reids
1:07:35
and pinpoint accuracy under Ryan Grubb. Buzz around the possibility of transfer quarterbacks.
1:07:41
Of course, Will Rogers ending up at Alabama was premature after he withdrew from
1:07:45
the portal. And you know, here's my question. I mean, milro
1:07:49
is gonna give it a shot, he says, Hey, I'm staying he's
1:07:53
up there the way too early Heisman odds. Do you think Kaitlin de Boorr
1:07:59
will be able to work with Milroe's skill set? Probably some adjustments, Probably
1:08:05
some adjustments. I mean, anytime you've got an athlete like Jalen Milroe,
1:08:10
I think that you can make that work. I mean, Nick Saban,
1:08:12
they made it work, went to the college football playoff and was just a
1:08:15
play or two from playing in the National Championship Game. So I think it
1:08:19
could work. All right, let me move forward here? Where is all
1:08:26
right? So a lot of people always ask, you know, why can
1:08:30
you not say super Bowl in ads? We've talked about this, you know
1:08:34
why. But a lot of people are asking that again, why are they
1:08:38
calling it the big game? Big game? Big game? Big game?
1:08:40
So, the NFL has a history of stretching back to more than a century
1:08:43
of its to its creation in nineteen twenty and while it held its first official
1:08:47
Championship Game in nineteen thirty three. The title had previously been handed out based
1:08:53
on winning percentage. It wasn't dubbed the Super Bowl until the Packers faced off
1:08:58
against the Chiefs in nineteen sixty seven. At that time, the contest,
1:09:02
which ended with Green Bay walking away with a thirty five to ten victory under
1:09:06
legendary head football coach Vince Lombardi, was actually referred to as the AFL NFL
1:09:13
World Championship Game, a reference to the two separate entities that had engaged in
1:09:18
a pretty bitter feud before agreeing to merge or to a merger of the previous
1:09:25
summer. Former Chiefs owner Lamar Hunt is credited with dreaming up the Super Bowl
1:09:30
moniker, and it gained enough steam to become officially embraced by the league before
1:09:34
the Jets and the Colts faced off in Super Bowl three in nineteen sixty nine,
1:09:39
The same year the NFL officially added a hot new asset into its portfolio.
1:09:46
Says the NFL has been very protective of the Super Bowl trademark that led
1:09:50
to brands embracing the big Game. Super Bowl three took place on January twelfth,
1:09:56
nineteen sixty nine, and less than two months after oh Namath led the
1:10:00
Jets to one of the most unexpected upsets of all time, the NFL filed
1:10:04
to trademark the Super Bowl name for quote entertainment services in the nature of football
1:10:12
Exhibitions, three years after initially try to secure the mark in connection to some
1:10:16
sort of board game. The Super Bowl quickly became one of the most anticipated
1:10:21
and watched sporting events in America and subsequently became a very lucrative property for the
1:10:26
league that had plenty of incentives to protect its virtually unraveled cash cow. Brands
1:10:32
who pay millions of dollars to secure one of the highly coveted Super Bowl ad
1:10:36
spots and earned the right to call themselves an quote official partner of the NFL
1:10:42
are permitted to use the name of the game in their marketing efforts, and
1:10:45
they obviously wouldn't be thrilled to learn other entities were able to do the same
1:10:50
without forking over cash or any cash. The NFL has a reputation for being
1:10:57
a very let's just say, highly litigating operation when it comes to protecting the
1:11:04
particular trademark, So while it's not clear who dreamed up the idea of using
1:11:09
quote the Big Game as an alternative. That's been the go to for commercial
1:11:14
entities who take care or have taken care to avoid the league's wrath over the
1:11:18
decades, although they run the risk of getting into legal trouble if they reference
1:11:23
the teams involved or even the location. The NFL actually tried to trademark quote
1:11:28
the Big Game in two thousand and six, but back down after being met
1:11:31
with a resistance from Stanford and col who used to refer to a football rivalry
1:11:38
that it can trace back to the eighteen hundreds. Most businesses have subsequently aired
1:11:43
on the side of caution. All their fair use theoretically allows restaurants, sports
1:11:47
bars, and similar venues that want to host Super Bowl parties to describe them
1:11:51
as as long as it's clear they aren't officially affiliated with the contest. That's
1:12:00
why you'll hear even locally businesses will refer to it as the Big Game or
1:12:04
some you know whatever. I mean. I would call it this year the
1:12:09
sy Out Bowl, the Taylor Swift Bowl, but then you may get in
1:12:12
trouble with Taylor Swift people. So there's a lot of things you got to
1:12:15
be careful with because you have these litigators out here that may come calling six
1:12:21
R one eight eight five three seven seven six. That is the cawbol Malonney's
1:12:25
tet ligne. You can always call us on the Malone roofing. Call the
1:12:27

1:12:33
unnamed Texter Jake, we will be tracking Taylor Swift the way we do
1:12:38
Santa Claus on Christmas Eve through the air. It could be a little bit
1:12:43
fun, even though I hate her music. So we've got somebody wanting to
1:12:46
track that. And Bulldog Wes wants Beaver to the slide to find his woman
1:12:56
term. I think we need to stay away from that. Let's see here.
1:13:00
I named texta three hours. Is it called the torture Tour? I
1:13:06
am trying to decide what is worse talking Taylor Swift or Michigan. Y'all do
1:13:11
a great job. Thanks, very well done. Yeah, I'm off the
1:13:14
Michigan bus. Right. They got the championship and now it's on to see
1:13:16
who is next in line in college football. And you know again, it's
1:13:21
going to be interesting to see how we carve through this, what the season
1:13:24
looks like as we move further down the road with this. Speaking of Michigan,
1:13:30
Michigan fans create petition to fire athletics director Ward Manual after Jim Harball leaves
1:13:33
for the NFL. You gotta be kidding me, says, have you ever
1:13:38
seen a college football fan base call for his athletic director to be fired?
1:13:41
Less than a month after winning a national championship? Well after Jim Harball spunned
1:13:45
his alma mater in favor of the NFL, Michigan Wolverine fans created a petition
1:13:49
in order to dismiss athletics director Ward Manuel. And this is a real You
1:13:56
can sign the petition to have him fire quote Ward manuals and I don't think
1:14:01
he's going to get fired, but some Jabron's out here decided to do this.
1:14:06
Ward Manual has single handedly botched multiple situations for the University of Michigan during
1:14:12
his tenure, and his current handling of retaining Jim Harball in the university's most
1:14:16
profitable and value athletic program could cause disastrous results. Reads the petition. It
1:14:20
goes on and says, quote his shortcomings have led to the departure of some
1:14:25
of Michigan's most prominent and successful coaches. Eric Backetch and John Billion, and
1:14:30
he has done nothing to address concerns from the other programs ice swimming facilities refusal
1:14:36
to collaborate or support in IL programs. It continues on. It says,
1:14:42
these concerning failures are putting the University of Michigan behind the times in their collegiate
1:14:47
sports and are threatening to completely dismantle and disrupt the amazing football success that Michigan's
1:14:54
athletic program has achieved. It's time to move on from Ward and his damaging
1:14:59
over sites. Manuel and Michigan have had some issues. The basketball program is
1:15:02
a mess, and the Wolverines are reportedly behind the times in the NIL space,
1:15:08
but they just won the national championship in football, the one thing Wolverine
1:15:12
fans have been pinning for a over a quarter century, and now they want
1:15:16
the athletics director gone because Jim Harball is gone. Six R one eight eight,

Nick Joe. The forty nine ers should higher me now I can game plan
1:17:33
for Travis kelce and guarantee and guarantee them he would not make over three receptions.
1:17:40
Ridiculous. He broke fellow Mississippi and Jerry Rice postseason reception record by trotting
1:17:45
out and turning around. Now, I do got to give Travis kelce some
1:17:49
credit here. He played well yesterday and the guy knows how to find grass
1:17:56
basically open space. I mean he can work at defense. The back shoulder
1:18:00
throw by Patrick Mahomes to him for the first score was a thing of beauty.
1:18:05
Now, but is Travis Kelcey that easy to cover? Can Joe?
1:18:10
Is it? So? Can Joe game plan for three catches for Travis Kelcey
1:18:15
in the big game next week? No, Joe, I'm sorry. I'm
1:18:16
sorry. I don't believe you can pull that off. I believe, I've
1:18:21
told you so many times. I believe in you, Joe. But that's
1:18:25
a tall ask. And speaking of I'm glad he mentioned though him breaking that
1:18:29
Jerry Rice record. Say, I've told you how much I dislike obnoxious caveman
1:18:38
Travis Kelcey. And he was on display after the game because they brought up
1:18:43
that he broke while they were presenting the trophies and forget who was presenting him
1:18:49
to him, but they brought it up that he broke Jerry Rice's record,
1:18:54
a classic obnoxious Kelsey fashion. Yeah, shout out to Jerry Rice. But
1:18:59
the Chiefs are still the Chiefs. Baby, he is that guy. He
1:19:03
drops a baby and shout out to Jerry Rice. You are still not in
1:19:08
the same conversation with Jerry Rice. You are the best tight end in history,
1:19:12
okay, but you are no Jerry Rice, sir, and you're that
1:19:16
guy. Baby. All that stuff get out of here. And then he
1:19:21
did it again, exactly what I talked about last week about you gotta fight.
1:19:29
He does that Beastie Boys ruining the Beastie Boys. You gotta fight for
1:19:31
your right to party, Like hey man, you did that four years ago.
1:19:35
And I know it's a part of what they do at Arrowhead. They
1:19:38
still do it, but we don't need you to keep doing it over and
1:19:43
over and over and over and over again. Let me ask you this about
1:19:46
Kelsey as it pertains to the NFL. Obviously, he did break Rice's record.
1:19:54
Baby in their prime, though, would you take Tony Gonzalez over herem
1:20:00
would you take Jason Whitten over him, Antonio Gates, Shannon Sharp, Rob
1:20:08
Gronkowski, all in their prime. Who would you take? It'd be between
1:20:13
Kelsey and Gonzales take all those other guys out. As much as I hate
1:20:18
him, I'll still say Kelsey, I am trying to see, Yeah,
1:20:27
I get yeah, this is yards. Tony Gonzalez still has the most yards
1:20:30
in the NFL in the history of the NFL at fifteen and twenty seven.
1:20:34
Jason Wittens second. What's interesting is Travis Kelcey is one two three four where
1:20:43
they did it in a two hundred and seventy and seventy one games. Kelsey
1:20:45
now has played one hundred and fifty nine. But the question is how much
1:20:49
gas in the tank does he have to play at that level? You know,
1:20:56
Rob Gunkowsk only played in one hundred and forty three ball games one hundred
1:21:00
and forty three, Shannon Sharp one eighty eight. I'm just sitting here looking
1:21:02
at some of these tight end numbers. Ozzy Knew someone at ninety eight two
1:21:08
seventy by Gonzales looks to be the record for top tight ends in the NFL,
1:21:16
which has Gonzales witting Gates, Kelsey as far as yards. Then you
1:21:20
got Sharp Gronkowski, Greg Olsen, Jimmy Graham, Ozzie Newsom, and Jack
1:21:28
Smith. Jac thinks you just may like the Colonoskby. We'll just leave that
1:21:32
there, all right. Moving on, shall we let me go back up
1:21:40
here in the stack and jump into some college football, real quick college football
1:21:46
teams that might might be in the playoff. When you look at some of
1:21:51
these teams, you know, we've kind of got danced around some of this
1:21:55
playoff stuff early, and I am looking through several of these, it's weird.
1:22:02
A lot of people are starting to believe it or not go in on
1:22:05
Virginia Tech. It's very weird to me. Virginia Tech has done well in
1:22:12
the transfer portal. They got eleven starters back on offense. They got a
1:22:15
quarterback named Cayron Drones who did really well this past year. The Hokies averaged
1:22:23
forty three points per game in their last four contests. But I just the
1:22:28
ACC has gotten much better in football, and I just I don't know that
1:22:32
they can make that kind of jump. If I go over here and look
1:22:34
at you know, it's been a long time since Virginia Tech has been relevant,
1:22:41
quite a long time. But if I go over here and look at
1:22:44
the Hokies who averaged thirty points a game and gave up twenty four and they
1:22:47
went seven and six. They won their last two ball games against Virginia and
1:22:54
two lane. They had a touchdown loss to North Carolina State, and you
1:23:00
know, they lost one to three games, four out of four to five
1:23:02
in the early going of the season. But again you get into Cairo and
1:23:08
Drones seventeen touchdowns, three interceptions. He was just a sophomore last year and
1:23:13
he's a guy can run a little bit. Eight hundred and eighteen yards,
1:23:16
five touchdowns. Maybe maybe it is a sleeper team of sorts in the in
1:23:23
the ACC we'll see. You know, West Virginia quietly won a lot of
1:23:28
ball games this past year. They're a team that Neil Brown hopped off the
1:23:32
hot seat with an effective or an efficient nine win season. Get green Lea
1:23:36
an offense that was pretty darn good. Four hundred and thirty four yards per
1:23:40
game was more productive than notable yards yard gobblers like Missouri and Oklahoma State last
1:23:47
season. If momentum continues, the Mountaineers can dream about a college football playoff.
1:23:51
Berth in the wide open Big Twelve. So you know, you take
1:23:57
Texas and Oklahoma out of the Big Twelve, put him in the SEC.
1:24:02
Now the you know you replaced him with the Colorados, the Utahs, the
1:24:05
Arizonas and Arizona States of the world, West Virginia. I mean, the
1:24:11
Big Twelve could be one of the funner leagues to watch next year because of
1:24:15
how wide open it is. And you know you get a quarterback coming back
1:24:20
in Garrett Green who's just a junior, who have one year left. Pretty
1:24:25
good stat line sixteen touchdowns and four picks w r K guys, pick It's
1:24:29

Game? Tony Romo, Greg Olsen? I'm gonna go Olsen? What do
1:26:02
you got? Oh? One umber one hundred? I really like Olsen?
1:26:08
Wellt's see, there was a it was in the stack over here on Olsen.
1:26:14
I am trying to find it. Did he get demoted? Oh?
1:26:19
No, Actually, I know what you speak of, because I was just
1:26:23
reminded. I I guess I balked it out of my brain, but I
1:26:26
was reminded today that he's about to get demoted because even though he's you know,
1:26:32
he rose quickly to the number one analyst at Fox, Tom Brady comes
1:26:39
in next year and it's just gonna step right over Olson. Olsen's either gonna
1:26:44
get demoted or he's gonna have to leave Fox because Tom Brady, who's never
1:26:47
caught a game, is gonna walk in and immediately get that job. So
1:26:51
it is so, I guess I missed that. So I know there was
1:26:55
back and forth, and so Tom Brady will be Fox's number one color analysts
1:27:00
in football next year. Yep. Who will he be working with? I
1:27:03
guess he'd be there. I can't remember who works with Olsen? Is it
1:27:09
Burkehrt? I think that's right. Let me see if I can find that
1:27:15
real quick. Heah, here we go. NFL fans are furious that Greg
1:27:19
Olsen, the best color commentator in the sport, is facing a demotion.
1:27:26
The NFC Championship game between the forty nine Ers and the Lions was the last
1:27:30
NFL game of the season to be aired on Fox, therefore making it the
1:27:33
last appearance of broadcasting duo Kevin Burkhart and that who You Said? And Greg
1:27:39
Olsen of the season and perhaps forever, as Beeble was talking about. With
1:27:43
Tom Brady set to begin his stint as Fox Sports lead color commentator next season,
1:27:48
the former Chicago Bear Carolina Panther and Seattle Seahawk tight end is facing a
1:27:54
likely demotion, which is an idea that the NFL fans has an NFL fan
1:28:00
fuming given how great Olsen has been this year as the network's lead guy.
1:28:04
As Bill Simmons report, if Greg Olsen isn't the number one color guy for
1:28:10
one of the networks with the NFL next year, I'm fighting everybody. He's
1:28:14
great. Let's try not to I'm rephrase this, mess this up for everybody.
1:28:18
Olsen's future with the network is currently uncertain given the impending arrival of Brady,
1:28:24
who signed an outrageous ten year, three hundred and seventy five million dollar
1:28:29
deal. Ten year, three seventy five. I mean, look, I'm
1:28:34
not mad at him, but my lord, what a deal to have never
1:28:41
called a ballgame. And they said part of Olsen's demotion, speaking of money
1:28:46
wise, he would take a cut from ten million down to three. Now
1:28:53
to regular people, I find it ridiculous that, oh, only three million,
1:28:58
only three. But it's just the sheer fact that this guy who's never
1:29:01
done it gets to just step in because of his stupid name. Tom Brady.
1:29:09
Yeah, he's awesome at playing football. Well, we've never heard him
1:29:15
call football. It's ridiculous. You're going to step into thirty seven and a
1:29:18
half million and Olsen and you know his baby brother works there too, So
1:29:26
the entire Olson family is screwed. That's bad Tom Brady coming in and making
1:29:30
enemies and not meaning to right says. Unfortunately for an NFF fan, CBS
1:29:34
has the broadcasting rights to this year's Super Bowl, meaning the Jim Nantz and
1:29:39
Tony Romo duo, whom the football world seems to be largely sick of,
1:29:43
will be calling the matchup between the Chiefs and the Niners. At this time,
1:29:46
thirteen days until the Super Bowl kicks off, the Niners are nearly favored
1:29:51
over the defending champions Chiefs by one point, while ESPN recently signed Joe Buck
1:29:56
and Troy Aikman for Monday Night Football and CBS Sports is likely sticking with Nance
1:30:00
and Romo. The most obvious potential landing spot for Olsen would be NBC,
1:30:05
who are in desperate need of a talent infusion, as their current crew of
1:30:10
Mike Tarico, Chris Collinsworth, Maria Taylor, Tony Dongee, Jason Garrett,
1:30:14
and Chris Simms is widely considered to be the worst in sports. I mean,
1:30:17
it's too many again, this, these these crews are too many.
1:30:21
Tarico's always been good, but is he on the on the back end of
1:30:27
his career? What about Collinsworth? Okay, I really like Turrico and I
1:30:35
like Collinsworth, But I've been noticed Collinsworth is the NFL equivalent as far as
1:30:43
getting hate. He gets the same amount of hate as in college football,
1:30:48
Gary Danielson, people hate Collinsworth lately. Now. I don't watch a whole
1:30:57
lot of Sunday Night football, but I've never thought collins Worth was bad.
1:31:04
No, I've always kind of liked Chris. He's kind of goofy, right,
1:31:09
but this whole Tony, I mean, Tony Dongee's never been bad.
1:31:12
Jason Garrett's got awful. Chris Simms is okay. So the question is is
1:31:16
that where he ends up. There's only so many seats at the table in
1:31:23
these NFL packages. So what happens to Greg Olsen? I don't know.
1:31:30
It's gotta be NBC because they're they're not getting rid of Romo at CBS.
1:31:36
No, No, Romo's not going anywhere. Northwest Frank and Mike Sam Brumfield
1:31:40
from Pearl transferred to Virginia Tech. Yes he did, Thank you, Mike
1:31:45
Ernest t as tired as I am of Taytay, I'm getting just as tired
1:31:50
of Gronk. He's on every commercial and listening to him Honk on the Fox
1:31:56
is absolutely brutal. He can barely finish a sentence. Yeah, he's He's
1:32:00
not that good. Space Coast. What happened to al Michaels? Didn't he
1:32:03
retire? I have to look and see. I thought he did? And
1:32:08
unnamed Texter. Remember Drew Brees did the same. He had a huge contract
1:32:13
but only did a few games. So Brady may decide this is not his
1:32:15
thing, and that is true. Like, we don't know that Tom Brady
1:32:18
is going to stick with this. I mean, I think Tom Brady will
1:32:23
be fine on there. The guy's articulate, he knows football. I think
1:32:27
he will be fine. It's just is this really something he wants to do.
1:32:30
Let's go to Louisville. George, George, Happy Monday? How about
1:32:35
it? It's the Big Monday? Eh? Absolutely, yeah, I got
1:32:42
a few things. Regardless of how you guys or anybody else feels maden than
1:32:47
some row I mean I would wait for them to come on, and I
1:32:51
didn't even care about the teams that were playing half the time, just to
1:32:56
hear them. They weren't about them sales they would have. They just did
1:33:00
their job and did it well and played off each other. Uh and then
1:33:06
the three in the booth. You know, even though coach still and uh
1:33:13
Dandy down and then were tough, they were still to thee all time Monday
1:33:17
Night Crew, back when Monday Night football, when you you couldn't wait for
1:33:21
Monday Night football. Do you remember those days? It was good stuff.
1:33:28
Let's see that super Bowl in we think about it later. The only other
1:33:31
thing I got just uh, I'm gonna go old school on you on tight
1:33:36
ends and just see they might not be in the top one hundred, but
1:33:41
John Mikey going back to uh the Baltimore Colts with with Johnny you and then
1:33:48
Ditkah was was he not known to be a good tight end for the Bears
1:33:53
back in the day or was he list throw that stuff out to me off
1:33:59
the air? Okay, you got it, Thank you guys, thank you,
1:34:01
by I appreciate it. George, go see George this week. See
1:34:04
this team. I got a great lineup of stuff going on each every week.
1:34:06
Ye did go one hundred and fifty eight total games played, five eight
1:34:11
hundred and twelve yards. Uh, and let's see did he catch? You
1:34:14
have forty three touchdowns in an era where you didn't throw it a whole lot.
1:34:18
I can't remember who's the other guy? Who? Who's the other guy?
1:34:19
Said? Do you remember? I have to look and see dad?
1:34:23
Didka though? Is on this list? Hey, we're brought to you by

1:35:30
are you hi doing? Great? Man? It's a great time of year.
1:35:34
You got the Super Bowl about to start up a couple of weeks.
1:35:39
People start praying practice and football, college basketball, college baseball. About the
1:35:43
crank off. You're in Mississippi, which is the center of the universe for
1:35:47
college baseball, So yeah, you got to be pretty happy. No,
1:35:49
it is for sure, and a lot of expectations out of all the programs
1:35:54
Mississippi State, Ole Miss, at Southern Miss. We'll hit some of that
1:35:57
here in just a bit. I want to ask you about what you thought
1:36:00
yesterday just as a as a football fan and watching what you saw yesterday and
1:36:03
now of course with the Chiefs and the forty nine ers, you know,
1:36:06
set to tee it up here in the super Bowl in a little under two
1:36:10
weeks. Your thoughts of yesterday's action, Well, I had Kansas City to
1:36:14
win straight up. I just felt good about that one because everybody was talking
1:36:17
about how complete a team Baltimore was and how Kansas City had really struggled to
1:36:21
put it together, and I said, obviously they hadn't watched him play recently,
1:36:25
and Patrick Mahomes is pretty much unstoppable when he gets to this point.
1:36:30
And then the Detroit game. At first first of the week, I said,
1:36:33
there's no way they beat San Francisco out there for a lot of reasons.
1:36:39
And then I changed my mind, which you know better than that,
1:36:42
and I took Detroit, Well, they're up twenty four to seven, and
1:36:45
I'm like, well, you know, the forty nine ers are going to
1:36:46
come out and they better be able to go blow for blow with them,
1:36:49
and they're going to lose. But that was a collapse of you know,
1:36:54
the Patriots and the Falcons and the Super Bowl type of stuff. You're up
1:36:59
twenty four to seven in the second half, that four receiver rentals, You're
1:37:03
paid a lot of money. You have to make those kind of catches and
1:37:06
they you that's inexcusable, and that's tough one. But I mean, I
1:37:13
think it's going to be forty nine ers. Rock Party, what's you making
1:37:15
eight hundred and seventy thousand versus Patrick Mahomes, who's been to the AFC Championship
1:37:21
Game six years in a row, all six years he's been a starter in
1:37:26
the NFL, And I think it will be a great super Bowl. Don't
1:37:30
underestimate Rock Party's leg That guy can run, and McCaffrey is a running back,
1:37:38
is a modern day Rocky Blier. No, there's no doubt about it.
1:37:43
He is a fantastic and he's a game changer as well. Rob Brown
1:37:46
on your radio Monday edition of the program, Rob, let's switch over to
1:37:48
SEC basketball. Now that we've getten close to the midway point, Alabama at
1:37:54
the top of the league, six and one, fourteen and six in Tennessee
1:37:57
right there, a half a game back at five and one, and then
1:38:00
or South Carolina Auburn. You go all way down to Missippi State and in
1:38:01
Texas A and M eight nine teams you know, trying to vie for spots.
1:38:06
It's hard to tell, but I mean this is as deep as the
1:38:09
league has been. How many teams do you think will get a bit?
1:38:12
And I know that's you know, asking the nine. Yeah, I would
1:38:15
say nine. And look, you folks in Mississippi, we Yancey Porter Rebel
1:38:19
Yell hotlines on the show every week with us talked a lot before they even
1:38:24
did it about hiring Chris Beard. That was a great high And if you're
1:38:28
an Old Miss fan, this is the best last three years in Old Miss
1:38:31
sports history with what's going on in football. Baseball went in the National Championship
1:38:36
in twenty twenty two and Chris Beard got the Rebels at four and three without
1:38:42
a whole lot of talent, but the portal helps and Alan Flanagan and his
1:38:45
dad coming over from Auburn, they're they're a good due over. I just
1:38:49
think Mississippi State they got Auburn. Auburn hasn't won a game over a Quadrant
1:38:56
one team this year. If they were number eight in the country and Mississippi
1:39:00
State held them to their second lowest point total, they gave up only fifty
1:39:05
I think Auburn had fifty eight points, but Appalachian State held Auburn to fewer
1:39:11
points and then you look at Tennessee. I think they're the best team in
1:39:14
the league. Alabama's really good. South Carolina LSU. Look three years ago,
1:39:19
LSU was the respirators on the priests in the room, called the ken
1:39:25
folks to the bedside. They're done, and look at them. They're four
1:39:28
and three in the league, I believe, or three and four, but
1:39:31
they're still they're playing a lot better and they're not an easy slam dunk win.
1:39:36
They faded late against Alabama. South Carolina. They're Look, they've won
1:39:43
seventeen or eighteen games and Old Miskett and the win. Anytime you beat A
1:39:45
and M, that's a great win. And you got to say they're in
1:39:50
the bigger disappointment in the league than Arkansas. Let me ask you about that
1:39:57
stock No, absolutely, I mean there's no doubt about it. Look,
1:39:59
they were out in front of Kentucky over the weekend as you well know,
1:40:01
yeah, and then you know, kind of let that thing slip through their
1:40:03
arms. SEC baseball, it's hard to believe with the ice and the snow
1:40:09
and the rain and everything we've had, we're fixing to play baseball. But
1:40:11
you look at the league and you know how baseball is you go to you
1:40:15
know, whatever pole you want. D one Baseball Baseball America, and there's
1:40:17
a lot of them. But the Florida's, the Arkansas, the LSU's are
1:40:20
going to be right there in the top ten, top five, Texas A
1:40:24
and M Tennessee. You look down the league. Alabama had a good year
1:40:27
last year, going forty three and twenty one, South Carolina forty two and
1:40:30
twenty one. That's not even counting Missippi State Ole Miss trying to get back
1:40:33
on the right side. As we always say, you could make a case.
1:40:36
I know, we love to focus on football. That's what we do.
1:40:40
Then that the other sports. But this league is so tough, and
1:40:43
I'll tell you what to try to get some movement in this league. I
1:40:45
mean it is very, very tough to do. And if you're State and
1:40:47
Ole Miss, you got to uphill climb here. Well they do. It's
1:40:53
hard to believe that I knew the team was in the playoff last year.
1:40:58
It's all about pitching. And you look top to bottom in the SEC.
1:41:02
Auburn last year, in the first half of the season struggled, then went
1:41:06
twelve and three in the second half, and you look at how many of
1:41:10
these guys are pitching all summer in Cape Cod League and just in these different
1:41:15
leagues around the country or around the world. Their arms get worn out.
1:41:19
And how many of them are really focused on the SEC. A lot of
1:41:25
teams their top three pitchers. I know, Auburn last year, those of
1:41:28
Gonzales pitched five innings in the first game. He's done for the year.
1:41:31
He's back this year. They've got a lot of pitchers. But you look
1:41:36
at old miss Mississippi State, Arkansas had Arkansas last year lost, you know
1:41:43
at home in the regional. I think this league is just going to get
1:41:46
tougher. Texas has been to thirty seven College World Series, sixty two NCAA
1:41:55
Tournament. Oklahoma's coming in and look at Florida having a Sullivan. You know
1:42:00
they're going to be good. At South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama's got a
1:42:04
new coach that they brought in from Maryland, Tennessee. As long as Jonny
1:42:13
Vachello's up there, they're going to be talked about. For sure. There
1:42:16
is nowhere The SEC is tougher top to bottom in baseball than it is in
1:42:24
any sport of all sports. It's not even close. Oh, there's no
1:42:30
doubt about it, and it's going to be a fun, fun league to
1:42:31
follow. As we start that off here about the second week in February,
1:42:35
Rob Brown, make sure to give them a follow on X and of course
1:42:39

1:43:45
Uh, you can find his show there. Let me get caught up
1:43:45
over here on the Capitol on his text line, get off my ball says
1:43:49
never have liked Collinsworth. Yeh, he's one of the guys that do you
1:43:57
the liking where you don't and you get a mixture, you know, review.
1:44:00
Let's see here, Johnny Vegas, NFL network pregames are way too long.
1:44:05
Do you I know, I've asked you this. Do you don't watch
1:44:08
a lot of that stuff either? Do you? Or you do? Yeah?
1:44:12
Yeah, I see a bit. I see a good bit of them,
1:44:15
and you I think you said this earlier. First off, there's too
1:44:18
many people on all these and second all, yeah, they can seem like
1:44:25
they drag on a lot of Get what Johnny's saying, Yeah, a lot
1:44:30
of drag possum, Nick Joe wrong Beaver. Collinsworth was bad as a senior
1:44:38
in high school. He was the fastest kid in Florida as a white guy.
1:44:42
He was the inspiration from Michael Jackson's song Bad Chamone. So that's not
1:44:47
at all what anyone was talking about. Joe, None of that. Joe
1:44:54
swung and miss on that one. Maybe he's working up. Maybe it's the
1:44:58
because he's working on a way to defend Travis Kelsey. It's messed him up
1:45:02
a little bit. Yeah, Space Ghost was going to hit the highlights of
1:45:08
the article, but I was cleaning out my vehicle and apparently I misplaced it.
1:45:14
I'll try to find it and call tomorrow. What the saga continues with
1:45:18
this guy? This is a week old article? Is it even relevant anymore?
1:45:25
No, what do you mean? What do you mean you try to
1:45:27
would you print it out? He did? He called because he called me
1:45:30
Saturday and he told me he did print it out, So he's not he's
1:45:35
not making this up. He literally had it. I don't know how many
1:45:39
pages it was. I don't know how big the article was, but yeah,
1:45:42
he had pages of this too. Apparently he was just going to call
1:45:45
and read it word for word. That's what it sounds like. Well,
1:45:49
this isn't an audiobook. So this is an audiobook platform. So now we
1:45:57
have to wait at least another day. Al Michaels I believe did retire.
1:46:00
Didn't he retire? They kind of forced him to retire, didn't they.
1:46:03
Well, there was the big issue with the playoffs. He was telling people
1:46:10
he was going to call the playoffs, and they had already taken him off
1:46:15
the playoffs, but it was news to him. And he thinks you and
1:46:19
Rob j need to have a bet on the game. Why don't he bet
1:46:21
with you? Who's he going for? You know he's not going for your
1:46:24
team? No, he's not. Why don't you in Space Coast have some
1:46:28
sort of bet on this game? Well, his Seahawks aren't factored in any
1:46:38
way. Of course. I guess his hatred for the forty nine Ers could
1:46:42
fuel him. I think you're right, are you? How excited are you
1:46:45
for this game? I'm pretty ready. Well, here's some stats coming off
1:46:53
the weekend. One, the forty nine Ers pull pull off biggest comeback in
1:46:59
NFC two title game history. That performance yesterday, the seventeen point comeback against
1:47:03
the Lions, was tied for the largest NFC title game come back in NFL
1:47:08
history. The only other seventeen point comeback was also pulled off by the forty
1:47:12
nine Ers in twenty twelve over the Falcons. That was an eighteen point we'll
1:47:16
see, the largest comeback in AFC title game history is eighteen Are the Falcons
1:47:20
part of most all comebacks? Sounds like it seems that way. Monkey's riding
1:47:26
dogs. I heard al michaels Is calling NASCAR in twenty twenty five. Forty
1:47:31
nine Ers get lucky thirty eight. The win over the Lions was the thirty
1:47:35
eighth playoff victory in franchise history for the forty nine Ers, which is the
1:47:39
most by any team in the NFL in history. The forty nine Ers had
1:47:43
previously been tied with the Packers and Patriots for the most ever with thirty seven.
1:47:47
And you know that's what's interesting, Like, when you start trying to
1:47:51
quantify who's the best franchise in NFL history, a lot of people are going
1:47:57
to go straight to the Patriots, and you can make that argument, but
1:48:01
that run was in you know, one coach, one player, seventeen years
1:48:08
or whatever it was. But then when you start looking at like the forty
1:48:11
nine Ers, they did it in the eighties, the nineties, they've done
1:48:16
it over decades. So who is the best? And you know some we're
1:48:20
going to say the Steelers, But a lot of that came in the seventies.
1:48:25
In the eighties they had some success. In the nineties, they've had
1:48:28
some. But who is the what would you are the forty nine Ers?
1:48:30
The best eighth Cowboys? Don't give me that. Get that out of here?
1:48:35
Is it the forty nine ers? Some are gonna say the Packers.
1:48:41
I don't think there's enough hardware there. Well, how far back do we
1:48:44
go? We're going all of history. I mean all of the history of
1:48:46
history. Again, it's like gauging coaches, right, how do you quit
1:48:50
me? So depends how you quantify that. I don't know when you're talking
1:48:56
of all time, I mean the forty nine ers, like you said,
1:49:00
four in the eighties, one in the mid nineties, fast forward all the
1:49:04
way to the twenty eleven. Hardbass showed up, they got to another Super
1:49:14
Bowl. Shanahan showed up that he's got him in their second Super Bowl ten
1:49:18
years later. But do you have to factor in actually winning the Super Bowl?
1:49:30
I don't know what parameters are we putting on this. Yeah, depends
1:49:32
on how you frame it up, we talk about Brock Party. With the
1:49:39
forty nine Ers victory, Brock Party now has four playoff wins for his career,
1:49:42
which is the second most in NFL history for a player in his first
1:49:45
two seasons. Only Ben Roethlisberger, with five, has more, and Party
1:49:49
can tie him with the Super Bowl win of the Chiefs. Perty also had
1:49:53
at least one win against every NFC team that made the playoffs, which makes
1:49:58
him the first quarterback to pull that all since Joe Montana in nineteen eighty four.
1:50:01
Is this the money year for him coming up? Rock Purdy? No,
1:50:09
this is only his second year. Seems like he's been in the league
1:50:12
longer than that, I guess because he's played pretty much since date one.
1:50:15
But yeah, he's gonna get paid fashionably. Lions Over the weekend, Lions
1:50:20
receiver goes on a run. Jamis Williamson scored on a forty two yard run
1:50:26
against the forty nine Ers, which was the third longest touchdown run by receiver
1:50:29
ever in the playoffs, trailing only James Lofton's seventy one yard run in nineteen
1:50:33
eighty two in the divisional format and a'min Merritt forty seven yard run in two
1:50:38
thousand and one divisional round. The Lions roadways continue in the Bay. The
1:50:44
Lions have now lost fourteen straight road games against the forty nine Ers, which
1:50:49
is the longest active streak in the NFL. The forty nine Ers haven't lost
1:50:53
a home game to the Lions since nineteen seventy five. And the Chiefs pull
1:50:59
off AFC title Game rarity. The Chiefs scored exactly zero points in the second
1:51:03
half, which makes them the first team since the twenty ten Steelers to go
1:51:09
scoreless in the second half of the ASC game a title game and still win
1:51:12
it. And Kelsey catches as we talked about earlier Jay Rice with eleven catches
1:51:16
against the Ravens. Travis Kelcey now has one hundred and fifty six for his
1:51:20
postseason career, which is the most in NFL history. He moved past Jerry
1:51:26
Rice, who finished his career with one hundred and fifty one. Kelsey now
1:51:29
also has fourteen playoff games with at least one touchdown, which is tied with
1:51:34
Rice for the most in NFL history. Saint Louis vic is out not on
1:51:42
the Prime broadcast. I can't remember who's doing that. Who did that broadcast
1:51:46
Herb Street and I can't remember. I don't know because I never watched the
1:51:51
prime the Thursday night games, simply because the first season, Remember the first
1:51:56
season was so historically bad. Like that whole season or ninety percent of the
1:52:00
games on Thursday Night, we're just garbage. Hey, We're brought to you

Kelly Ford tomorrow, several others as we roll through the week. Let me
1:53:33
see here on the Cowboy Melnags tech sign. Let's see here, White Denzel.
1:53:42
What kind of Taylor Swift props do y'all think will be for the Super
1:53:45
Bowl? Oh gosh, I'm assuming it's going to be several. Do you
1:53:49
have a special Taylor Swift prop bet that you want to throw in there?
1:53:54
None. I'm still gonna die on this hill that she's paratrooping in. Why
1:54:00
would they not do that? I mean, they're trying to take this thing
1:54:04
to the next level. Why that's the next level? Have her micd up
1:54:10
coming in singing some song. That's what I'm going with until it doesn't happen.
1:54:17
Bill, Don't the Packers have the most NFL championships. Don't come at
1:54:23
me with the Steelers. They didn't win the Super Bowl, didn't win Super
1:54:26
Bowl forty, so you can't count that one, do the Packers. Let's
1:54:30
say, let me look and see. Let me go back here and look
1:54:31
at this pull this up real quick. If we go to NFL titles,
1:54:43
Yes, Bill, you are correct, sir, when you talk about NFL.
1:54:45
This is prior even to the AFL NFL merger. Thirteen titles. Thirteen
1:54:53
titles. So are the Packers the best because when you get you know,
1:54:59
the Bears have nine, only one in the Super Bowl era, but they
1:55:01
have eight prior the most games played in the NFL. The Bears have played
1:55:10
one thousand, four hundred and sixty nine games. Picker's number two at one
1:55:13
four hundred and thirty five. You know in some of these franchises, I
1:55:16
mean obviously didn't come around until later, believe it or not, Arizona has
1:55:23
played one four hundred and twenty nine games. The Giants with eight championships,
1:55:28
and again this spans to Bill's point, prior to the Super Bowl era in
1:55:35
the Giants eight Patriots, six Steelers, six Chiefs, with five Cowboys,
1:55:45
five Colts, five forty nine Ers, five forty nine Ers or Chiefs are
1:55:49
going to jump into that sixth round with the Patriots and Steelers, Commanders,
1:55:54
five Raiders all the way down to the Lions, believe it or not,
1:55:59
all with four that would be the Lions, Eagles, Rams, Browns,
1:56:01
Raiders, several, well, le Broncos with three, and then you got
1:56:05
several with two. My lowle Dolphins only two. So are the Packers the
1:56:12
greatest franchise ever? No, No, Bill, Bill Bilbil. We got
1:56:18
to find somewhere, some point to begin this. And I'm gonna go Super
1:56:25
Bowl era. Don't tell me any don't tell me all this stuff that happened
1:56:30
before. That's like, that's like Alabama football in Kentucky basketball when the fans
1:56:38
want to go back to the Bear for years and eight off Rupp and always
1:56:43
say I don't care what dead coaches did so before the Super Bowl. No,
1:56:47
let's start this in the Super Bowl era. Well, if you go
1:56:51
Super Bowl era, it's going to change it drastically. Then you go Patriots
1:56:55
Steelers with six championships, and of course Patriots with eleven games in the Big
1:57:00
Game, followed by the Steelers with eight. The forty nine Ers will make
1:57:04
their eighth appearance next week. And then you got the forty nine Ers and
1:57:11
Cowboys with five championships, and you get down with the Chiefs and butt threes
1:57:15
and twos and all that stuff. Bill Beaver, you can't just delete portions
1:57:20
of history. Lol, you're killing me, Bill. You can't count portions
1:57:24
of history just to make yourself feel better and say that your favorite team has
1:57:29
more championships. Do you think you could win this argument if you were sitting
1:57:34
in a facility in Green Bay restaurant anywhere? Oh no, because I'd probably
1:57:41
get murdered. Let's see here, Joe Passak, Joe, I didn't swing
1:57:45
and miss I blasted a triple off Beaver right under your glove at third.
1:57:49
Jake point was these guys blasting collins Worth have no idea how good he was.
1:57:55
But are they blasting him as a player or an analyst? No?
1:57:58
That's what see Joe, that we were talking about the hate that I kept
1:58:02
seeing. We were talking about him as a commentator. Yeah, that's where
1:58:06
the hate's coming from. No one was talking about his playing days. Toddy
1:58:12
Beaver tells Space Ghost to clean up his office as well. Miko Beaver has
1:58:18
been pretty feisty today. Yeah, Beaver got a haircut and it's cool outside.
1:58:25
You got more on a haircut, like you're going, uh, maybe
1:58:29
going to play football or wrestling. Didn you want to become a wrestler at
1:58:33
one point? Yeah, I'll tell you back when I was around eighteen to
1:58:39
twenty somewhere around there, you still got time. Oh no, what would
1:58:45
you wear if you were a wrestler? I think you would definitely want to
1:58:48
go with a look you're at now with a shaved head, the big goatee.
1:58:53
Would you wear like one of those body suits? Would you wear?
1:58:56
You know, just the uh speedo looking bottoms. I'd be curious to though
1:59:02
with the boots, Bill, I'd be curious to know what you want to
1:59:05
wear on that. Yeah, he's been feisted today, Miko, there's no
1:59:08
doubt about it. Yeah, it depends on how you quantify this. And
1:59:10
look, you're you're not going to convince anybody that's a fan of the Packers
1:59:15
that their championships don't matter. I mean, you look at the and I
1:59:18
agree with Bill, you can't delete history. As Bill said, it's a
1:59:24
singlet, Jake, not a bodysuit, Thank you, Bill. I didn't
1:59:29
know what it was. I just called her a bodysuit. Thank you.
1:59:32
Bill's driving some good stuff on us today. A singlet. I have heard
1:59:36
that before. I didn't. I didn't realize that's what that thing was called.
1:59:40
I don't know how big beaver would look in a singlet. That'd be
1:59:43
interesting. Oh man, let me look jump back over here real quick and
1:59:48
make sure I haven't missed any notes before we bow out here in the next
1:59:53
next few minutes. Let me look, I don't know why this happened.
1:59:58
Dave Portnoy, attention, everybody, barstool Radio is canceled until further notice.
2:00:01
I have no idea what if to check them and see what's going on with
2:00:03
the barstool radio. And let me get back over here to my NFL section.
2:00:10
Make sure I haven't missed anything. Well, let's finish it up with
2:00:14
this Brando online one Brando. Welcome him. Hey Beeves sent me a picture
2:00:19
of his haircut. I just think he thought he was some kind of seductive
2:00:25
kind of look. But I've seen better heads on burn up Cabbage. You
2:00:29
guys have a great day. Thank you, Brando, appreciate it. So
2:00:32
you're sharing headshoints with Branda. That is not at all true, no part
2:00:38
of that, but that is classic Brando. So would you wear as Bill
2:00:42
called it, a singlet? Singlet? No? No, I think you?
2:00:53
Hmm is that what I wear? I don't know. Is that one
2:00:57
of those I called it a bodysuit, and Bill corrected me and said,
2:00:59
it's a singlet. Is that what? Like, that's what amateur wrestlers wear,
2:01:03
high school and collegiate and amateur wrestlers. Okay, I would think you'd
2:01:08
want to wear like maybe some tall boots and almost like a speedo looking bottom.
2:01:15
Maybe get a couple of tattoos. I'm not gonna go speedo. I
2:01:19
will go that short. So you have to go back to the trunks.
2:01:24
Trunks. Do wrestlers wear trunks? Yeah, like the Rock didn't wear trunks.
2:01:29
What was that? What would you call that? Trunks? No,
2:01:31
it looks like almost a speedo. Oh, speaking of the Rock, that
2:01:36
dude phonied and leaped his way into another he's on he's on the board of
2:01:45
t KO Sports. Now, really, I did not know this. Yeah,
2:01:50
seven dollars goes a long way, Sure does a long way. Hey.
2:01:55
Thanks to Chris Lanrey jumping in today. Also thanks to Rob Brown as
2:01:59
well. Kelly Ford will join us tomorrow. As we move along, and
2:02:03
let's see here, Giants Assistant general manager Brandon Brown. Let's see the Chargers
2:02:10
are targeting Excuse me, Ravens, Director of Player Personnel, Joe Hortz and
2:02:14
Brandon Brown has been on that list as well, so he'll pair with looks
2:02:16
like Chargers or the Ravens. Director of person Joe horts is going to be
2:02:21
paired with Jim Harball, going from one hardball to the other. Very interesting
2:02:26
development there. Remember catchup is King Bacon's a delicacy. A low hop means
2:02:30
goodbye, have a great Monday afternoon. We'll see tomorrow.
