- 1:42Speaker 3: Billy and Arman bring it to you from headquarters.
- 1:45Speaker 5: On a game balls and kicks to the balls Monday.
- 1:48Speaker 4: There's a lot of kicks to the balls when you're
- 1:50Speaker 4: a Green Bay Packers fan. Yesterday I had a number
- 1:52Speaker 4: of them. When my three year old Drew asked me, Daddy,
- 1:57Speaker 4: Ivanta Adams play in the Super Bowl with the Packers.
- 2:00Speaker 4: I was like, well, buddy, they got close, they lost
- 2:04Speaker 4: to the Seaton. Well who did they play to go
- 2:06Speaker 4: to the Super Bowl? Really really enjoying them because he's.
- 2:09Speaker 6: Really in these days to figure it out, schedules his results.
- 2:12Speaker 4: Well in his favorite thing right now is games that turn.
- 2:15Speaker 4: So what that means is the YouTube montages of the
- 2:18Speaker 4: most crushing playoff losses basically on a repeat for about
- 2:21Speaker 4: thirty five minutes, which I didn't realize is mostly a
- 2:25Speaker 4: twenty tens Green Bay Packer Sizzles.
- 2:27Speaker 6: Packers highlight that's waited about it.
- 2:29Speaker 4: It was pretty wild, the amount of times that you
- 2:32Speaker 4: realize the twenty fifteen might have been even more painful
- 2:35Speaker 4: than twenty fourteen. I was like, nobody, they actually lost
- 2:39Speaker 4: to the Seahawks then, and then they lost to the Falcons,
- 2:41Speaker 4: and then they lost to the forty nine ers, and
- 2:42Speaker 4: then they lost to the Buccaneers.
- 2:44Speaker 5: Did they win those Super Bowls?
- 2:46Speaker 8: Like?
- 2:46Speaker 5: Actually no, A lot of them ended up playing the
- 2:50Speaker 5: damn Patriots.
- 2:51Speaker 4: Who were going to watch for the twelfth time in
- 2:54Speaker 4: this game. Now, I'm not the best math guy here, Drew.
- 2:57Speaker 4: I'd learned how to annoy people for a living at
- 2:59Speaker 4: Carroll Universe. This is Super Bowl sixty, as Doug Russell's
- 3:03Speaker 4: update told us, that's right, the twelfth game, twelfth Super
- 3:07Speaker 4: Bowl game that the Patriots are going to be playing in.
- 3:11Speaker 5: The Super Bowls. They're playing and as.
- 3:13Speaker 6: If their fan base hasn't got enough fortune good moments,
- 3:17Speaker 6: you know why they got the waltz into this gilded
- 3:20Speaker 6: path to the AFC Championship. There's never been a more
- 3:24Speaker 6: comfortable waltz through the NFL playoffs. I'm sorry for any
- 3:28Speaker 6: championship team than this one. For the New England Patriots,
- 3:32Speaker 6: and even yesterday when they had to face Jared Stidhams.
- 3:35Speaker 6: But they got miss field goals, they got weather at
- 3:39Speaker 6: the right time point, they got a fumble by an
- 3:42Speaker 6: unconscionable decision by Stidham at the end of the half, Like,
- 3:46Speaker 6: I don't understand why Patriots fans have been gifted these
- 3:49Speaker 6: gifts from the sports gods and why not us? Why
- 3:52Speaker 6: can't we get these past? So there, I had to
- 3:56Speaker 6: vent a little bit and whine a little bit, and
- 3:58Speaker 6: I did it all right. John Peyton was funny last night.
- 4:01Speaker 6: He didn't fully drop toyota turning point.
- 4:05Speaker 4: When asked about it, drew of that Stindham fumble, He's like, yeah,
- 4:09Speaker 4: that was a you know, I'm you know, talk about
- 4:13Speaker 4: you know, like turning points and that's a yeah.
- 4:15Speaker 5: It was costing.
- 4:17Speaker 4: That was trying so hard to not bury the young man,
- 4:20Speaker 4: but the thing you could do is put him in
- 4:21Speaker 4: the dirt.
- 4:22Speaker 5: What about the.
- 4:22Speaker 3: Chorus of the old school take the points crowd, because
- 4:25Speaker 3: it's again it's evolved too with coaches and everybody's favorite word, analytics.
- 4:30Speaker 3: But it's like, to me, it's like playing blackjack, and
- 4:34Speaker 3: when they decided fourth and one, they decided to go
- 4:37Speaker 3: for it, they get stuff. Okay, take the points, you're
- 4:39Speaker 3: up ten nothing, Yeah, two scores. It's important to get
- 4:43Speaker 3: the leads. But also it's like, well, you know points
- 4:46Speaker 3: are gonna be at a premium in this game, Well,
- 4:48Speaker 3: then why shouldn't you try to get more points?
- 4:50Speaker 5: Why wouldn't you try to go?
- 4:51Speaker 3: And then you get the blackjack card and yeah, I
- 4:53Speaker 3: have to hit up to seventeen or there are certain
- 4:55Speaker 3: rules now, and it's like kind of ingrained, and the
- 4:58Speaker 3: odds are that you're chances of winning are better, and
- 5:01Speaker 3: I get that, like, okay, so but again, hindsight, well
- 5:04Speaker 3: they should have taken had they taken the three there.
- 5:07Speaker 4: Yeah, And the tough thing about it is for me
- 5:09Speaker 4: and I guess I should have studied the weather more.
- 5:13Speaker 5: I guess I should have known.
- 5:14Speaker 4: It didn't sound like Romo and Nance or anybody really
- 5:17Speaker 4: planned for it to get as bad as it did
- 5:19Speaker 4: in the third quarter. I think it was unexpected, So like,
- 5:22Speaker 4: at that point, points are going to be at a premium.
- 5:24Speaker 5: You know it is, Well, yeah, and then I'm this close.
- 5:28Speaker 4: I don't know that I'm ever gonna be guaranteed to
- 5:30Speaker 4: get into the red zone again, let alone have a
- 5:32Speaker 4: chance at the end zone.
- 5:34Speaker 3: And all the momentum in the game was favoring the
- 5:38Speaker 3: Broncos at that point.
- 5:40Speaker 4: I struggle with it when you when it is the
- 5:42Speaker 4: blackjack cards, you're like, you say, but then people are like,
- 5:44Speaker 4: well you got to manage a little bit with your gut.
- 5:46Speaker 4: I think the card and my gut as a Broncos
- 5:49Speaker 4: better yesterday was telling me I'm trying to go for
- 5:52Speaker 4: this and go.
- 5:52Speaker 5: Up yea and nothing.
- 5:53Speaker 3: Well, if you're up fourteen nothing, how many points did
- 5:56Speaker 3: you expect to score with Jared's Didnam the quarterback?
- 5:58Speaker 6: Well that's the thing. And this is always where salts
- 6:00Speaker 6: based like twenty twenty high site, because the times that
- 6:03Speaker 6: you actually get it on fourth down, I don't hear
- 6:05Speaker 6: from those people that say, well you should have just
- 6:07Speaker 6: taken the points, Well, you should have taken the points.
- 6:09Speaker 6: So the Packers took the points in the twenty fourteen
- 6:11Speaker 6: n SCY Championship game, and that didn't you know, how
- 6:13Speaker 6: many field goals did we take it to one? So
- 6:15Speaker 6: let's be honest, this is all twenty twenty hind sight.
- 6:17Speaker 6: The reality is, though, well, why I find it funny
- 6:20Speaker 6: about fourth down culture now in the NFL and in
- 6:22Speaker 6: football because it definitely has changed. Teams now go for
- 6:25Speaker 6: it all the time, and fans seem to be contrary
- 6:27Speaker 6: to whatever it is. What I find funny is when
- 6:30Speaker 6: I grew up watching football in the nineties, and you know,
- 6:33Speaker 6: I love watching old games. In the eighties and nineties,
- 6:35Speaker 6: I love watching old games, it was totally the opposite,
- 6:38Speaker 6: like fans would get upset at coaches when they didn't
- 6:40Speaker 6: go for it every time there was a fourth and
- 6:42Speaker 6: short every time there was a fourth and maybe go
- 6:44Speaker 6: for it. What's the one thing you always heard, right,
- 6:46Speaker 6: guys in the cross go And then when like all right,
- 6:51Speaker 6: and then you see home Grid nod and sending Brett
- 6:53Speaker 6: back in the field, the players go crazy, like we're
- 6:56Speaker 6: going cars the way before even because it was such
- 6:59Speaker 6: a novelty to go four on fourth down, it was
- 7:01Speaker 6: so exciting that that fans totally valued that right, and
- 7:05Speaker 6: now that everybody goes for on fourth down, now fans
- 7:08Speaker 6: hate that, so I think it's funny off fourth down
- 7:10Speaker 6: culture and that sense has changed. But like it's always
- 7:13Speaker 6: fans being contrary to what it is. Like they used
- 7:16Speaker 6: to love it when coaches went four and fourth down,
- 7:18Speaker 6: angry when they didn't because they weren't, you know, they
- 7:21Speaker 6: weren't taking enough chances and being courageous enough. And now
- 7:25Speaker 6: fans are absolutely angry every time a fan doesn't a
- 7:28Speaker 6: fan a coach doesn't take three points and play it safe,
- 7:31Speaker 6: you know, and make sure you get up early in
- 7:33Speaker 6: the morning.
- 7:33Speaker 5: Well I did.
- 7:33Speaker 4: I did hear a number of people saying, and one
- 7:36Speaker 4: of my favorite guys in the in the business, JT
- 7:38Speaker 4: the brick, but it was just for frying. Sean Payton
- 7:41Speaker 4: did say now that Mendoza is in the AFC West,
- 7:44Speaker 4: the last AFC title game, the Broncos are going to love.
- 7:48Speaker 4: I love that love for Fernando Mendoz in Vegas, but
- 7:51Speaker 4: for for Peyton, and I have zero love loss for
- 7:53Speaker 4: Sean Payton in Denver.
- 7:55Speaker 5: But I would have done the same thing.
- 7:56Speaker 4: Like you're in a position where you don't know that
- 7:59Speaker 4: you're gonna get down there now and your defense was
- 8:01Speaker 4: nails yesterday, Like Drake may completes under fifty percent under
- 8:06Speaker 4: one hundred yards passing. Obviously, the end of the game
- 8:08Speaker 4: is what it is, but Denver controlled the line of
- 8:11Speaker 4: scrimmage for the majority of the night, if not the
- 8:13Speaker 4: entire night, and it was it was a backbreaking, boneheaded
- 8:16Speaker 4: decision by Sidham and the one backup quarterback move that
- 8:20Speaker 4: it really felt like he made yesterday was the one
- 8:23Speaker 4: that ultimately did him in his TJ.
- 8:24Speaker 5: Rubley moment.
- 8:29Speaker 3: The rest he was a good custodian, could have won
- 8:31Speaker 3: the game, but that mistake, Yeah.
- 8:34Speaker 4: That's about as costly as it possibly could go to.
- 8:37Speaker 4: But for for Denver too, you're in a game that
- 8:42Speaker 4: everybody thought you were going to just be able to
- 8:45Speaker 4: somewhat roll over with when you play without Nicks. I
- 8:49Speaker 4: think yesterday was a day I tapped into a little
- 8:51Speaker 4: bit of Denver's or Broncos coverage after it felt like
- 8:55Speaker 4: they seemed to feel seen that they felt like their
- 8:58Speaker 4: quarterback was a lot better than he got credit for
- 9:00Speaker 4: all year long, and in those last couple of moments,
- 9:04Speaker 4: that was a game that Nicks had won a number
- 9:07Speaker 4: of similar to how Williams and the Bears did on
- 9:11Speaker 4: the NFC side, like if it was a one score game,
- 9:13Speaker 4: if it was a three point game. Late, they all
- 9:15Speaker 4: felt like he was going to be able to scramble,
- 9:17Speaker 4: run and gain them enough first downs, get them close
- 9:21Speaker 4: enough where it wouldn't have been a block forty something
- 9:24Speaker 4: yardfield goal and they would have been in the end
- 9:26Speaker 4: zone in that fourth quarter. It doesn't seem tangible, but
- 9:29Speaker 4: they they seem to be so much more confident in
- 9:32Speaker 4: him than the rest of the NFL was yesterday. But
- 9:34Speaker 4: then once he's lost for the game going into it,
- 9:37Speaker 4: everyone basically punted on their chances. I thought it showed
- 9:40Speaker 4: yesterday that's a damn good football team that they have
- 9:42Speaker 4: from top to bottom, just needing a couple of quick
- 9:46Speaker 4: adjustments there, and they just were unable to execute in
- 9:48Speaker 4: the biggest moment.
- 9:49Speaker 3: Eight seven seven seven nine four one seven three gets
- 9:52Speaker 3: you to the nicolay Lo dot com talk and text line.
- 9:55Speaker 3: Be glad to hear from you on this game balls
- 9:56Speaker 3: and kicks to the balls Monday. You want to give
- 9:58Speaker 3: one out, this is your.
- 10:00Speaker 5: Let's do it.
- 10:00Speaker 4: We got a couple here Ron and Stallis said, I
- 10:02Speaker 4: got to kick to the ball to my fellow Green
- 10:04Speaker 4: Bay Packers fan. If you went to the gym.
- 10:06Speaker 7: You had none to do to thing.
- 10:08Speaker 5: But this one Ron and stallis so odd.
- 10:10Speaker 4: Optimism here on the higher and shouldn't say odd, some
- 10:13Speaker 4: rare optimism. Going through a lot of Packers' social media comments,
- 10:16Speaker 4: and it seems like Gannon is unfairly judged for what
- 10:18Speaker 4: he did in Arizona. People realize that he's being hired
- 10:21Speaker 4: to be the DC, not the HC, right yeah.
- 10:25Speaker 3: And there were some who thought that, oh, he's you know,
- 10:27Speaker 3: Lafleur's never going to hire a guy who's a threat. Right, Well,
- 10:29Speaker 3: here's a guy that walks in and has been a
- 10:31Speaker 3: head coach, a guy that if you're on the block,
- 10:34Speaker 3: you know, he can slide over and take over. We
- 10:37Speaker 3: thought that was Halfley, But Halfley I'd never coached in
- 10:39Speaker 3: the NFL before.
- 10:40Speaker 5: Yeah, and call plays in the NFL yep.
- 10:42Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 10:42Speaker 4: And so the interesting part for that too, when you
- 10:46Speaker 4: believe your window is probably two years, right, I don't
- 10:49Speaker 4: think there was any reason to worry that, like, all right,
- 10:53Speaker 4: Jim Leonard's gonna come here, be way too good, and
- 10:55Speaker 4: he's gonna be going leaf for and head coaching job
- 10:58Speaker 4: in two years. Your windows about two years right now, now,
- 11:00Speaker 4: to where you think and where the roster is, how
- 11:04Speaker 4: it's currently constructed to be able to go after it.
- 11:06Speaker 5: Don matter if he leaves in two years.
- 11:08Speaker 4: Family with Gannon, right, I mean like we're seeing a
- 11:10Speaker 4: lot of guys get multiple opportunities. And you know, we
- 11:13Speaker 4: had Jonah and River Falls say kick to the balls
- 11:15Speaker 4: to Matt Lafleur, what's he thinking? That's my question of
- 11:18Speaker 4: the day. I hope he proves me wrong. But we
- 11:19Speaker 4: had a chance at Al Harris, Raheem Morris, and Jim Leonard.
- 11:23Speaker 4: I think Morris might go and take this Arizona job
- 11:26Speaker 4: that Gannon just previously had, and I'm interested to see
- 11:31Speaker 4: if he can prove a lot of people wrong, because
- 11:33Speaker 4: there's a lot of hate out here for what he
- 11:35Speaker 4: did as a head coach. But Drew, I think there's
- 11:38Speaker 4: a lot of times that we see guys be coordinators
- 11:40Speaker 4: and not necessarily head coaches in this league.
- 11:42Speaker 5: Kick to the balls to me give myself.
- 11:45Speaker 1: If you went to this game, you had none to
- 11:46Speaker 1: do to thing.
- 11:48Speaker 3: Like many I was operating under the assumption and we
- 11:50Speaker 3: had heard reports that Jim Leonard was probably going to
- 11:52Speaker 3: take the DC job with Harbaugh and go work. But yesterday,
- 11:55Speaker 3: in the middle of the afternoon, this reports out of
- 11:58Speaker 3: New York that they're hiring Tonar Wilson with Tennessee WOPS.
- 12:02Speaker 3: So the Giants are hiring Dennard Wilson as their DC,
- 12:06Speaker 3: which means Leonard is not going to work for Harbaugh.
- 12:09Speaker 3: And it's like, well, then something's up, right as vance
- 12:11Speaker 3: Joseph getting a gig, we don't know about Harbaugh is
- 12:13Speaker 3: going to move up a chair, Like what do we
- 12:15Speaker 3: what do we read into this?
- 12:17Speaker 5: Or is Harbaugh just like Denver and wants to you know.
- 12:20Speaker 4: I mean, or is there something to what we kind
- 12:23Speaker 4: of thought there might have been that uh, listen, it
- 12:25Speaker 4: was going to take a little something for this reunion
- 12:28Speaker 4: to happen.
- 12:28Speaker 5: Maybe there was a little bit of concession on both sides.
- 12:30Speaker 5: Maybe there was a.
- 12:32Speaker 4: I'm not gonna say you had to bring your hat,
- 12:34Speaker 4: carry your hat to the altar and you know, apologize
- 12:36Speaker 4: for turning them down a couple of years ago. But
- 12:38Speaker 4: maybe there was a mission of Hey, I guess maybe
- 12:40Speaker 4: I should have been here. I wish I would have
- 12:41Speaker 4: been here a number of years ago. I just I
- 12:43Speaker 4: wonder if the previous interview process they're very familiar with
- 12:47Speaker 4: them right, Like the thought of why didn't you wait
- 12:49Speaker 4: to interview Jim Leonard. I think they already kind of
- 12:52Speaker 4: have and they know everything they need they want to
- 12:55Speaker 4: know about Leonard. I would be stunted to think there
- 12:57Speaker 4: has been some kind of back channel conversation.
- 13:00Speaker 3: Well, and Lafleur played both the Broncos and the Cardinals
- 13:04Speaker 3: this year and point went head ahead with Agannon's defense
- 13:07Speaker 3: and got a good look from that standpoint of what
- 13:10Speaker 3: they do and what they're about and stuff.
- 13:12Speaker 5: And you know, they played the Philadelphia they played, so
- 13:14Speaker 5: he's he's seen that style.
- 13:16Speaker 4: To Andrew, I think there's something as well to the
- 13:19Speaker 4: style of play that Lafleur emphasizes and wants. Is the
- 13:23Speaker 4: kind of defense that causes him as a play caller
- 13:25Speaker 4: fits right, And you mentioned it. The Gannon defense really
- 13:29Speaker 4: slowed the operation for the Packers this year. He wasn't
- 13:32Speaker 4: coordinating the defense in any of his years in Arizona.
- 13:36Speaker 4: If he gets another opportunity, I think he might change that.
- 13:38Speaker 4: I think there's a lot of guys that would potentially
- 13:40Speaker 4: go the other way. But he has experience in a
- 13:44Speaker 4: number of different levels. They're built on there, his defense,
- 13:49Speaker 4: his philosophy, is predicated upon we're gonna play whatever gives
- 13:53Speaker 4: you the most problems kind of matchup specific.
- 13:56Speaker 5: It's a newer school way of thinking.
- 13:59Speaker 4: We talked to Leroy Butler the first hour where he's like,
- 14:00Speaker 4: they're gonna to know what your scheme is. His scheme
- 14:03Speaker 4: is do what they don't do well or take away
- 14:06Speaker 4: something that they do best. There you go in a
- 14:08Speaker 4: league that's so multiple, I don't know that it makes.
- 14:10Speaker 4: It's as cut and dry if I'm a three to
- 14:13Speaker 4: four guy or a four to three guy. He's a
- 14:15Speaker 4: limit explosive plays by play a lot of two shell
- 14:18Speaker 4: and cover up the top end. And that's what the
- 14:20Speaker 4: Packers don't like playing against. I'm not surprised that's who
- 14:23Speaker 4: they end up hiring here. Well, and take yesterday the
- 14:26Speaker 4: NFC game. Seattle's got Darnold and they want to It's
- 14:32Speaker 4: almost like he was in the MVP conversation.
- 14:34Speaker 3: He's been great, he played the game of his life yesterday, right,
- 14:36Speaker 3: But it was almost still like you early on, like
- 14:38Speaker 3: do they trust him, Let's keep it tight. Let's like
- 14:41Speaker 3: they want him to manage the game, and then they
- 14:43Speaker 3: turn him loose and they stopped like he wasn't running
- 14:45Speaker 3: play action all the time.
- 14:47Speaker 5: He was just going straight point.
- 14:48Speaker 3: They were just like they just gave him the ball
- 14:50Speaker 3: and Jackson Smith and Jigbo. That's terrific, incredible, fantastic day.
- 14:55Speaker 3: I mean, that was a great game to watch if
- 14:57Speaker 3: you're into wide receivers because watching him and then watching Canakua,
- 15:00Speaker 3: who's like hard almost impossible cover, and then Damante is still.
- 15:03Speaker 5: A dog, awesome awest to get open to.
- 15:06Speaker 3: DeVante still has the best shake at the line of
- 15:08Speaker 3: any receiver probably ever.
- 15:10Speaker 5: And Cooper late, I was just gonna say Cooper.
- 15:13Speaker 3: Was the Cooper was like the old man, like, uh,
- 15:15Speaker 3: you know, take that that whole thing that at the.
- 15:18Speaker 4: Y m c A that is able to figure off
- 15:20Speaker 4: the final like five points of the game, and the
- 15:22Speaker 4: pickup that every whole time has been.
- 15:24Speaker 5: Leaving off to the side for the majority of the game,
- 15:26Speaker 5: man moves taking it.
- 15:27Speaker 6: It was the game we needed when we were offensive deprived.
- 15:30Speaker 3: But Donald played the game of his life and they
- 15:32Speaker 3: and they put it in his hands and he delivered.
- 15:34Speaker 3: So it's like, you can't respect that enough to me,
- 15:38Speaker 3: because like, yeah, they weren't even camouflage and then we're
- 15:40Speaker 3: going to play action for a lot.
- 15:41Speaker 5: Of the game, Billy.
- 15:42Speaker 3: No, they they said, you're steam all year, like, Okay, well,
- 15:46Speaker 3: when we do pass, it's gonna be throw flash.
- 15:48Speaker 6: Now.
- 15:48Speaker 3: Granted they're down and running back and that changes things.
- 15:50Speaker 3: But whatever adjustment they made, they made Donald look and
- 15:54Speaker 3: and Donald made them look.
- 15:55Speaker 4: And made them really really pay for for what they
- 15:57Speaker 4: were doing. And I thought Brady was was pretty sublime
- 16:00Speaker 4: on the broadcast about it, where he commented a number
- 16:03Speaker 4: of different times like this is by far the most
- 16:05Speaker 4: man coverage Seattle has played in either of the games,
- 16:08Speaker 4: that they changed up their thought process and when you
- 16:11Speaker 4: play a team three times we talked about this with
- 16:13Speaker 4: the Packers and Bears, you had to be able to
- 16:16Speaker 4: make an adjustment. And the adjustment to the adjustments that
- 16:19Speaker 4: second half you saw both sides trading blows and shifting
- 16:24Speaker 4: a little bit on the fly. That was what you saw.
- 16:26Speaker 4: You were unable to do on the Packer's side was
- 16:29Speaker 4: adjust to a different defensive scheme that the Bears were
- 16:32Speaker 4: firing at you in the second.
- 16:33Speaker 3: Half and the Rams are weak in the secondary, and
- 16:35Speaker 3: they went after and went right after him.
- 16:36Speaker 4: I thought that first that deep ball to Shaheed was
- 16:39Speaker 4: the confidence throw you needed because he was going to
- 16:41Speaker 4: step into everything from that moment. Somebody that's a gunslinger
- 16:44Speaker 4: like that. You see Lafleur do it a lot with love.
- 16:46Speaker 4: You gotta get him one or two of those deep
- 16:48Speaker 4: shots early. Think about it. Thirty and seven.
- 16:51Speaker 3: Sam Darnold as a starting quarterback over the last two
- 16:54Speaker 3: years amazing for some of that's on his fifth team
- 16:56Speaker 3: was a backup in San Francisco. Back to back fourteen
- 16:59Speaker 3: wins seasons.
- 17:00Speaker 4: No turnovers in the playoffs might be the most shocking
- 17:04Speaker 4: thing for him.
- 17:05Speaker 5: That's the thing.
- 17:06Speaker 3: H Smith and Jig but according to next Gen Stats,
- 17:08Speaker 3: caught ten of twelve targets for one hundred and fifty
- 17:10Speaker 3: three year receiving yards and a TD. He caught at
- 17:12Speaker 3: least one pass against six different RAMS defenders in coverage
- 17:17Speaker 3: and all six targets for one hundred and five yards
- 17:19Speaker 3: when he was aligned out wide. They just couldn't stop him.
- 17:23Speaker 5: Dude, Do you guys want to hear this part?
- 17:27Speaker 3: The Packers drafted Lucas van Nasa ahead of Jackson Smith
- 17:30Speaker 3: and Jig.
- 17:30Speaker 6: Well, JSM went what twenty? He went like twentieth and
- 17:33Speaker 6: there's a lot of teams to pass him up on him.
- 17:35Speaker 6: But yeah, the Packers were thirty.
- 17:36Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, one one, very very clearly right there in
- 17:39Speaker 4: the midst. Now, they had just taken Christian Watson and
- 17:42Speaker 4: Romeo Dopts for a couple of years prior to.
- 17:45Speaker 6: And the Packers have good talent receivers. So I'm not
- 17:47Speaker 6: sitting there saying, don't have him though.
- 17:49Speaker 5: I know, all due respect, they don't have a guy
- 17:52Speaker 5: like that.
- 17:52Speaker 3: They don't and like, well, maybe Golden will be that impactful.
- 17:55Speaker 6: Maybe, well I believe him, but but you're right, Billy,
- 17:58Speaker 6: right now, he's the best one right now going, I mean,
- 18:01Speaker 6: I would say he's.
- 18:03Speaker 4: In that top five, right, I mean you can't right now,
- 18:07Speaker 4: he's like the guy yeah, and it turns over year
- 18:10Speaker 4: by year, right, like I mean, sorry, justin Jefferson, he
- 18:13Speaker 4: might be the guy that hate watched that game yesterday
- 18:15Speaker 4: more than anybody.
- 18:16Speaker 3: Yeah, look away, these guys throw it and like that
- 18:19Speaker 3: could Stafford having Like it's like having two Davante's with
- 18:23Speaker 3: Puka and Davante what DeVante was for Rogers.
- 18:26Speaker 5: He's got two guys like that.
- 18:27Speaker 4: Well in Parkinson, I thought had a phenomenal game yesterday.
- 18:30Speaker 4: He had that one kind of rot but it seemed
- 18:32Speaker 4: like it just got Nick just in front of me.
- 18:34Speaker 5: You gotta have it. They got big, big targets.
- 18:36Speaker 4: They play with three legit tight ends and all three
- 18:38Speaker 4: of them are receiving threats. Like those two teams yesterday
- 18:42Speaker 4: are built a lot of the way how you plan
- 18:45Speaker 4: on building your team out, and you you see Seattle
- 18:48Speaker 4: yesterday Drew going into the year.
- 18:50Speaker 5: I think Green Band Seattle were both kind of right
- 18:52Speaker 5: neck and neck.
- 18:52Speaker 4: They both finished what seventh or eight seed Over the
- 18:55Speaker 4: last couple of years, They've been right near each other
- 18:58Speaker 4: in the mixed p s and odds before the Mica trade,
- 19:03Speaker 4: and you saw a lot of their good players become
- 19:07Speaker 4: elite players.
- 19:08Speaker 5: Smith and Jiggbas the first one.
- 19:09Speaker 4: When you go from that level of really really good
- 19:13Speaker 4: player to superstardom, that's the different level of elevation. Wayne
- 19:17Speaker 4: and I were talking about, can you go from a
- 19:19Speaker 4: good player to a ballue?
- 19:20Speaker 3: Ship play running backs took a leap too, but big
- 19:22Speaker 3: time the way. Okay, So Seattle just kind of like,
- 19:25Speaker 3: forget to play action, Let's just throw it and Sam
- 19:27Speaker 3: sling it and put we trust you.
- 19:29Speaker 5: They wrote him and it worked.
- 19:30Speaker 3: And then the Patriots they ran more jumbo than they
- 19:34Speaker 3: have all seasons all year long.
- 19:35Speaker 5: Yep.
- 19:35Speaker 3: They were like that was became like their base offense.
- 19:38Speaker 3: This guy's reporting eligible.
- 19:40Speaker 5: Okay, And I.
- 19:41Speaker 4: Really liked Tony Romo talking about how gutsy of a
- 19:43Speaker 4: call it was to have Drake May roll out and
- 19:45Speaker 4: scramble and run one on one to the corner on
- 19:48Speaker 4: the third down. I was like, well, Tony, I don't
- 19:50Speaker 4: think that they literally threw the ball away on the
- 19:52Speaker 4: last third down.
- 19:54Speaker 5: They're just gonna keep it in the hand of their.
- 19:56Speaker 4: Best guy, steer everyone one way and h let the
- 20:00Speaker 4: kid finish off the game. And man, you want to
- 20:04Speaker 4: you look at a dude that has completely changed the
- 20:06Speaker 4: way people think about a team. Mike vrabel uh is, Hey,
- 20:10Speaker 4: that's maybe for a fan base like you. Think of
- 20:14Speaker 4: how sweet it would have been for Wisconsin fans to
- 20:16Speaker 4: watch him Lender on the sidelines, How sweet it would
- 20:19Speaker 4: have been for Packers fans to watch bart Starr on
- 20:21Speaker 4: the sidelines and then actually be.
- 20:23Speaker 6: Good, turn them around them one right or too they
- 20:25Speaker 6: won five or few, or they went last year four.
- 20:28Speaker 4: Four and thirteen to thirteen and four crazy, and like
- 20:31Speaker 4: you saw guys on your sideline not have that kind
- 20:34Speaker 4: of success to be that dude and already have three
- 20:38Speaker 4: rings with your organization.
- 20:39Speaker 5: Man, that's that's a hell of a hell of a
- 20:40Speaker 5: tob And again, why the Patriots fan deserve it?
- 20:42Speaker 6: That's that's all like keep saying, all.
- 20:44Speaker 4: Right, absolutely, because Robert Kraft said, I was like you
- 20:48Speaker 4: all on those steel benches. Then I bought the parking
- 20:53Speaker 4: lot and forced them to sell me.
- 20:54Speaker 6: The right I mean, it's yeah, he was like I was.
- 20:58Speaker 5: With all of you. Now I'm in the owner's box,
- 21:00Speaker 5: all right.
- 21:00Speaker 3: So in two weeks we'll find out, Well, in two

- 23:57Speaker 3: Sorry, I got a game ball to a ward to
- 24:01Speaker 3: your Milwaukee Bucks. Oh yeah, things are blocking with the
- 24:07Speaker 3: Bucks these days, be honest. Out the status of missed
- 24:14Speaker 3: a game last night due to the weather that kept
- 24:16Speaker 3: Dallas in in Dallas.
- 24:18Speaker 5: But the Bucks did take.
- 24:20Speaker 3: All the food that was prepared for last night's game
- 24:22Speaker 3: for the concession stance and the premium seating areas and
- 24:25Speaker 3: donated to local shelters.
- 24:26Speaker 5: That was a good I like to see that. I
- 24:30Speaker 5: love that.
- 24:30Speaker 6: A press release they specifically delineated with foods. Yeah, like Brons,
- 24:35Speaker 6: hot dogs, jalapeno. It was like it very specific.
- 24:39Speaker 3: It was Josh Glessing, who's a Wisconsin native, is the
- 24:42Speaker 3: new president. He's like being transitioning from Peter Fagan and
- 24:45Speaker 3: Peter Fagan. One of his strengths was he got his
- 24:48Speaker 3: haircut at mister G's right.
- 24:49Speaker 5: He went.
- 24:50Speaker 3: He he was in the community and out and about
- 24:52Speaker 3: and uh, you know, kind of building.
- 24:54Speaker 5: It was doing it.
- 24:56Speaker 3: And Josh is a local guy, and I think he'll
- 24:59Speaker 3: slide into that too. But it was obviously it's like
- 25:01Speaker 3: what else are they gonna do with the food and
- 25:02Speaker 3: employees can't take so much tupperwaar home.
- 25:04Speaker 5: Yeah, you have food.
- 25:07Speaker 3: Thousands of people and that's what they're gonna do. So
- 25:09Speaker 3: they donated to area shelter. So kudos to the Bucks.
- 25:11Speaker 6: And I saw some nods be like, oh, well, well,
- 25:13Speaker 6: why do you have to make a press release about it?
- 25:15Speaker 5: Just do you know what?
- 25:16Speaker 6: No good degos unpunished.
- 25:17Speaker 5: I guess absolutely, Like give me a break.
- 25:20Speaker 6: Like you're to complain about everything on his internets these days.
- 25:23Speaker 5: Man, give me you can't just be happier. Thank you,
- 25:27Speaker 5: thank you.
- 25:27Speaker 6: For doing a nice deed for the community, Milwaukee Bucks.
- 25:30Speaker 6: And I'm not mad that he made a press release about.
- 25:32Speaker 5: Letting us know. Thank you very much.
- 25:34Speaker 3: Yeah, the Brewers used to have a third base coach,
- 25:37Speaker 3: Doug Manzelina.
- 25:38Speaker 5: Oh yes, of course.
- 25:39Speaker 3: Would take the leftover every night at the clubhouse. As
- 25:42Speaker 3: they were wrapping stuff up, there was food leftover and
- 25:44Speaker 3: he would take every night take it to a a
- 25:46Speaker 3: and he never got you know, I've never I knew
- 25:48Speaker 3: it did it. I wrote about it a couple of times.
- 25:50Speaker 3: But he didn't do it for any glory or anything.
- 25:52Speaker 3: He just did it to help people.
- 25:54Speaker 5: Let's give a game ball to our own Aaron Simms.
- 25:57Speaker 4: Oh my god, sweet right up at the Athletic about
- 26:04Speaker 4: Aaron and the strides that he had to make to
- 26:09Speaker 4: try to get the broadcast on the air of the
- 26:13Speaker 4: Milwaukee Admirals in Iowa wild the coldest outdoor hockey game ever,
- 26:18Speaker 4: the coldest outdoor professional hockey game ever played in North America.
- 26:22Speaker 4: And Aaron called it outside, battled through the comrades, going out,
- 26:27Speaker 4: called part of the game on the phone. Yeah, the
- 26:29Speaker 4: generator went out and an awesome right up of everything
- 26:32Speaker 4: he went through. We've known that he's one of the
- 26:35Speaker 4: best for a long time, but that give him some
- 26:38Speaker 4: national love and hopefully sooner rather than later. Now we
- 26:41Speaker 4: don't want to lose him. I mean this, but like,
- 26:43Speaker 4: it's amazing that he's not calling the NHL Playoffs on
- 26:47Speaker 4: TNT because he is outstanding.
- 26:49Speaker 6: Is We're so lucky to have him right here on
- 26:53Speaker 6: this station. And man, just absolutely impressive work that was
- 26:57Speaker 6: to get that thing off. Talking about broadcasting an unusual situation,
- 27:00Speaker 6: unusual broadcast situations. I remember learning about that in college.
- 27:03Speaker 6: This was as unusual as they get. But uh, you know,
- 27:06Speaker 6: we're he's one of the best, and we're lucky to
- 27:08Speaker 6: have Aaron Simms.
- 27:09Speaker 3: No doubt breaking news from the NFL on the coaching front,
- 27:12Speaker 3: Philip Rivers has withdrawn from the Bills head coaching search.
- 27:16Speaker 6: That was interesting, maybe the only most normal thing that
- 27:19Speaker 6: Bills have done last week.
- 27:20Speaker 5: Maybe that's a good point.
- 27:22Speaker 4: It might be the most normal thing they've done in
- 27:24Speaker 4: a while now. They have been a little unconventional on here.
- 27:27Speaker 4: I know that there are interviewing a number of different people.
- 27:30Speaker 4: I'll say, for all these teams that have that are waiting,
- 27:34Speaker 4: I don't necessarily know that they're doing it by choice.
- 27:38Speaker 4: When you're talking like Browns and Cardinals and the teams
- 27:40Speaker 4: that maybe people aren't jumping at their opportunity. I think
- 27:45Speaker 4: somebody's pretty gonna be pretty lucky that they might get
- 27:47Speaker 4: Clint Kubiak after that performance for Seattle as the offensive
- 27:50Speaker 4: coordinator last night. Huh, and that was really really good
- 27:53Speaker 4: by him.
- 27:53Speaker 3: I think absolutely all right eight seven seven, seven, nine
- 27:56Speaker 3: four three to give us your game balls and kicks
- 27:58Speaker 3: the balls. Also, if you'd love to see Luke Bryan
- 28:01Speaker 3: play at Alpine Valley coming up to September twenty sixth, the.
- 28:04Speaker 5: Ward on the Street Tour, we have a pair of tickets.
- 28:06Speaker 3: We're gonna give tickets away all week. Uh, it's gonna
- 28:10Speaker 3: be fabulous. So you can only win them here on
- 28:13Speaker 3: the huddle way before you get buy them seven nine
- 28:16Speaker 3: seven three, And Billy's got a question for us, Billy,
- 28:19Speaker 3: let's go, what do we got?
- 28:20Speaker 5: All right?
- 28:20Speaker 4: This is an important note when you talk about Super
- 28:23Speaker 4: Bowl lore. It'll be Super Bowl sixty coming up in
- 28:28Speaker 4: two weeks. It'll feature just for the third time in
- 28:31Speaker 4: the game's history, the teams on both sides their head
- 28:35Speaker 4: coach sharing the first name name the first two games name.
- 28:40Speaker 4: The first two games that the head coaches had the
- 28:44Speaker 4: same first name in.
- 28:45Speaker 5: Super Bowl history, there's fifty nine instances, only two of.
- 28:48Speaker 3: Which the best half of Mike's will be a Vrabel
- 28:51Speaker 3: and McDonald. Okay, so what other times did this? Did
- 28:54Speaker 3: the Super Bowl? Opposing head coaches in Super Bowl have
- 28:56Speaker 3: the same first name? Eight seven, seven, seven, nine four
- 29:00Speaker 3: one ninety seven three. Get you in and once again
- 29:02Speaker 3: you win these tickets. You got this on your calendar,
- 29:05Speaker 3: It's on your radar. All summer summers in Wisconsin are
- 29:07Speaker 3: the best, no doubt.
- 29:09Speaker 5: We love it.
- 29:10Speaker 3: The summerfest day, first festivals, outdoor, just fun, lakes up north.
- 29:15Speaker 3: But having this at the end of the summer, because
- 29:17Speaker 3: like and in the summer it's still nice into September.
- 29:20Speaker 3: It's not that you think, oh, it'd be cool, No,
- 29:21Speaker 3: it'll probably be sixty, say seventy degrees.
- 29:24Speaker 4: One of our guys here kind of counters that September
- 29:27Speaker 4: might be a part of the actual summer calendar, right,
- 29:29Speaker 4: I mean, Army, you always talking about the lack of
- 29:31Speaker 4: spring that we get you sometimes summer starts mostly into
- 29:34Speaker 4: July anyway, right.
- 29:35Speaker 6: It depends way well close you are to the lake.
- 29:37Speaker 4: Absolutely, September ends up being gorgeous and and this is
- 29:40Speaker 4: gonna be a phenomenal site when you think about maybe
- 29:44Speaker 4: some of the leaves starting to change as well, and
- 29:46Speaker 4: you want to talk about drinking a beer into September.
- 29:48Speaker 4: You are grabbing a little bit of summertime later into it.
- 29:50Speaker 4: Our friend, uh red hot Tim not. How are you
- 29:53Speaker 4: guys giving away those Uprian tickets because I gotta win
- 29:55Speaker 4: those for the wife.
- 29:56Speaker 5: And this is the other part here. Yeah, you can.
- 29:58Speaker 4: Win them and not tell the misses until you potentially
- 30:02Speaker 4: have an anniversary coming up, Drew, You potentially have a
- 30:05Speaker 4: birthday coming up, and what a feather in the cap,
- 30:09Speaker 4: knowing that you already have the best gift that you're
- 30:12Speaker 4: gonna get because you probably aren't going to be able
- 30:13Speaker 4: to buy tickets that are better than the ones that
- 30:15Speaker 4: you're gonna be able to win before you can buy
- 30:17Speaker 4: him right here on the huddle to Luke Brian, So
- 30:19Speaker 4: you're gonna have that ace in the hole knowing whatever
- 30:22Speaker 4: she gets you for the anniversary is not even.
- 30:24Speaker 3: Going to be close to as good as what you got.
- 30:27Speaker 3: Queued up eight seven, seven seven, nine, seven to three.
- 30:31Speaker 3: What were the previous two Super Bowls when the coaches
- 30:34Speaker 3: had the same first name?
- 30:35Speaker 5: Previous two Super Bowls?
- 30:37Speaker 4: It is just the third time in the history of
- 30:39Speaker 4: the games in the game, and in Super Bowl sixty
- 30:43Speaker 4: it'll be played at Santa Clara at Levi Stadium, the
- 30:47Speaker 4: site of Super Bowl fifty, also the site of Super
- 30:50Speaker 4: Bowl sixty, which I thought was a little bit strange.
- 30:53Speaker 4: Now interesting enough for the Rams, they almost had the
- 30:57Speaker 4: chance because they will be hosting the Super Bowl next
- 30:59Speaker 4: year at Sofi Stadium, or maybe it's the Chargers turn.
- 31:02Speaker 4: The Rams got to host it last year. The Chargers
- 31:04Speaker 4: get the charge. This time they get the revenue from it.
- 31:06Speaker 4: But you see, the forty nine ers were this close
- 31:09Speaker 4: to doing what LA did a number of years ago,
- 31:12Speaker 4: which was have the NFC title Game and the Super
- 31:14Speaker 4: Bowl in their home spot, Seattle stop, both of their
- 31:17Speaker 4: NFCU West rivals.
- 31:19Speaker 5: All right, is a tribute question for them.
- 31:20Speaker 3: Mukebriyan tickets the first pair this week to see Luke
- 31:23Speaker 3: Bryan on September twenty sixth at Alpine Valley Music Theater
- 31:26Speaker 3: in East Troy. And our contestant out of the shoot
- 31:30Speaker 3: is Nick and Theoressa. Nick, Welcome to the huddle one, Nick,
- 31:36Speaker 3: We're good, more.
- 31:36Speaker 5: Important now you are. Here's the question.
- 31:38Speaker 4: Super Bowl six, you'll be the third time in the
- 31:40Speaker 4: game's history that both head coaches share the same first name.
- 31:46Speaker 4: What two Super Bowls were the previous instances this occurred
- 31:52Speaker 4: twenty and thirty.
- 31:53Speaker 5: One, twenty and thirty one not incorrect? Correct? Incorrect? He
- 32:00Speaker 5: was close, He was very very close with that one.
- 32:03Speaker 4: With that in thirty one thirty one would have been
- 32:05Speaker 4: Bill Parcells against Mike Holmgren. That would be correct. If
- 32:10Speaker 4: Bill and Mike, that would be incorrect. All right, Who
- 32:12Speaker 4: we got up next? It's John on a cell phone. John,
- 32:15Speaker 4: Welcome to the huddle. All right, John, same question to you.
- 32:18Speaker 8: Good morning. Not only is this the third time it's
- 32:23Speaker 8: been the same first name, it's the third time it's
- 32:26Speaker 8: been Mike as the coach. Super Bowl thirty two, Shanahan
- 32:31Speaker 8: and Holmegren super Bowl. Let's see, that'd be fifty five
- 32:34Speaker 8: Tomlin and McCarthy.
- 32:40Speaker 5: I think we got to give it to give it.
- 32:42Speaker 5: He meant forty five, he met forty five, but he
- 32:46Speaker 5: got it right. Forty five. Yeah, against Mike McCarthy.
- 32:49Speaker 4: Mike Holmgren, against Mike Shanahan. John, you are correct, and uh,
- 32:54Speaker 4: I don't know what.
- 32:56Speaker 5: Exactly. Nobody knows. Better.
- 32:58Speaker 4: Question is what are you do you think Mike takes
- 33:01Speaker 4: it home this year and breaks the run of Mike
- 33:03Speaker 4: winning it.
- 33:06Speaker 8: Yeah, I think it's that one.
- 33:09Speaker 6: Good job, John, Hang on, Johnny d on the line's.
- 33:12Speaker 5: Gonna get some information for you. That's fantastic.
- 33:15Speaker 3: People really went on the huddle and John on a
- 33:17Speaker 3: cell phone's going to see Luke Bryant and the Word
- 33:19Speaker 3: on the Street tour September twenty sixth, and that is
- 33:22Speaker 3: coming up East Troy at Alpine Valley.
- 33:24Speaker 5: Man, that would have been at theater. That'd have been
- 33:26Speaker 5: a tough Uh, tough l, A tough l. I'm not
- 33:29Speaker 5: doing that.
- 33:30Speaker 6: I see he has a spirit you on Jeopardy and
- 33:32Speaker 6: presses right, they're too tough.
- 33:34Speaker 5: We were asking for the matchup's not the super Bowl.
- 33:36Speaker 5: The exact number, yes, it did not specify that enough.
- 33:39Speaker 6: Yeah, he got it.
- 33:40Speaker 5: It was all Mike's It's the third time. It's Mike
- 33:42Speaker 5: and Mike.
- 33:43Speaker 4: And the lead up right, like if he wouldn't have
- 33:45Speaker 4: had it dialed in and was ready to spike the football,
- 33:49Speaker 4: he did a touchdown dance before spike.
- 33:51Speaker 6: He dropped the whole second before us.
- 33:53Speaker 3: Hey, if you're not spiking the ball like you used to,

- 35:41Speaker 4: the celebrating is over now, right, like all the part.
- 35:44Speaker 5: Now we get into February.
- 35:47Speaker 4: Deplos, Like you want to talk about a month that
- 35:49Speaker 4: is just the worst one on the calendar, February definitely
- 35:51Speaker 4: ends up.
- 35:51Speaker 5: Being in there.
- 35:52Speaker 4: I'm not sure growing shot anybody else basketball? You know, yeah,
- 35:59Speaker 4: I'm sorry, but it's not even the best part of
- 36:00Speaker 4: college basketball, I know, right, So it's like it's just
- 36:03Speaker 4: it's just so there.
- 36:05Speaker 5: And then we get the the popping of the glove.
- 36:08Speaker 4: At uh pictures for pitchers and catchers reporting, and then
- 36:12Speaker 4: there's a week before they play a game. It's the
- 36:13Speaker 4: biggest tease of a month there. Possibly, Yes, it's no joke.
- 36:16Speaker 5: That's when Sports Illustrated used to put up.
- 36:18Speaker 3: The swimsuit issue. Smart yeah, get you through that period
- 36:21Speaker 3: in between. But you know it would have been inspired
- 36:23Speaker 3: by Livy Dunn this weekend get up?
- 36:26Speaker 5: Is she on the cover again this year? I know
- 36:28Speaker 5: she was probably probably will because they sell a lot,
- 36:30Speaker 5: I'm sure.
- 36:31Speaker 3: Uh, but the Baseball Writers Dinner took place, and the
- 36:33Speaker 3: awards were handed out Saturday night in New York and
- 36:36Speaker 3: a game ball on game Balls and Kicks of the
- 36:38Speaker 3: Ball's Monday game Ball to Brewer, Skipper and two time
- 36:40Speaker 3: Manager of the Year Pat Murphy.
- 36:42Speaker 5: Give it to him, Marmon, Oh my god, three seconds.
- 36:46Speaker 3: The so Murph gets to the dais He's amazing and
- 36:51Speaker 3: he just he started off with Haymakers. We're gonna spin
- 36:53Speaker 3: through some of the highlights right now.
- 36:54Speaker 5: Hit it.
- 36:57Speaker 9: Baseball Writers Association, thanks for what you do for baseball.
- 37:03Speaker 9: I'm not quite sure what it is, but thank you.
- 37:11Speaker 9: Shout out to the eighty six Mets. You know, I
- 37:17Speaker 9: was never good enough to play against the eighty six Mets,
- 37:23Speaker 9: but I played against eighty three Lynchburg Mets.
- 37:26Speaker 5: Where's Doc? How about it?
- 37:29Speaker 8: Doc?
- 37:30Speaker 9: Doc started owen three and then won nineteen straight.
- 37:36Speaker 5: Yeah, Dykestra was.
- 37:38Speaker 9: Your center fielder, like one hundred and fifty pounds. Remember
- 37:42Speaker 9: I couldn't get him out?
- 37:44Speaker 5: Uh yeah, yeah.
- 37:47Speaker 4: Good times was a great way of being able to
- 37:50Speaker 4: let everybody know I was.
- 37:51Speaker 5: I tried to play this base guy deadpan pauses.
- 37:54Speaker 3: And you can tell he hung around Yuker because he
- 37:56Speaker 3: soaked up us timing his public speaking, those to the pauses,
- 38:00Speaker 3: the dead pan, the delivery. I'm just surprised he didn't
- 38:03Speaker 3: walk up to the front of that ballroom wherever at
- 38:05Speaker 3: Waldorf Astoria they usually have it at or wherever, and
- 38:08Speaker 3: then just like ask everybody to introduce themselves around the room,
- 38:11Speaker 3: because it would have taken like two.
- 38:12Speaker 5: I was gonna say, his whole speech would about the
- 38:14Speaker 5: entire event. Yeah, that would have been good. But he
- 38:16Speaker 5: had a couple other zingers.
- 38:17Speaker 4: He had a couple of other big ones where he
- 38:20Speaker 4: talked about the Mets and and congratulated the Mets on
- 38:23Speaker 4: getting Freddy Peralta, let him know that they're going to
- 38:25Speaker 4: enjoy him. And then also, you know, realize that, uh,
- 38:28Speaker 4: there's a couple of absences in the crowd.
- 38:30Speaker 9: It seemed like, yeah, the Brewer's contingent was going to
- 38:32Speaker 9: be here tonight, but couldn't because we're spending on money
- 38:37Speaker 9: on lowering the soap dispensers in the locker room, because
- 38:42Speaker 9: we just picked up one of your prospects, Jet Williams,
- 38:44Speaker 9: he's like five to five.
- 38:47Speaker 5: That's how we roll, That's.
- 38:49Speaker 4: How we roll. The short Kings. Oh boy, Now nobody
- 38:54Speaker 4: is Freelick Williams, and nobody is as quite as good Drew,
- 38:58Speaker 4: and you know them a lot better than I. So
- 38:59Speaker 4: maybe there's a little bit of there's always a little
- 39:01Speaker 4: bit of truth in every shot across the bow right
- 39:05Speaker 4: where its. Last year we talked a lot about, you know,
- 39:07Speaker 4: everybody else in the division getting better, everybody else doing
- 39:10Speaker 4: a lot of stuff. It's like Hill, It is cute
- 39:12Speaker 4: that we have all these short guys. I wouldn't mind
- 39:14Speaker 4: a six foot five, two hundred and forty pound thumper. Yeah,
- 39:17Speaker 4: wouldn't mind one, No doubt we could get one. As
- 39:19Speaker 4: he's on the dais with Aaron Judge.
- 39:21Speaker 5: Yeah, and then and then the eyes went right towards
- 39:23Speaker 5: Aaron Judge.
- 39:24Speaker 9: Yep, you guys remember the Yankee Series. Judge didn't hit
- 39:31Speaker 9: a ball below one oh five. You had like seven
- 39:35Speaker 9: homers in the first weekend. We had the biggest run
- 39:40Speaker 9: differential in baseball history, true story. After four games we
- 39:45Speaker 9: got beat eleven nothing on our home opener.
- 39:47Speaker 5: It was beautiful. It was beautiful. Thanks Alvin.
- 39:53Speaker 9: So I thought I was going back to college for sure,
- 39:58Speaker 9: but they responded, you know, and uh a great leadership.
- 40:02Speaker 5: We've got a guy named Yelwich.
- 40:04Speaker 9: We have another great leader and a guy named Freddie
- 40:06Speaker 9: Peralto who you guys might get comfortable with. They were hungry,
- 40:14Speaker 9: they were aware, and you mixed that together. Hungry and aware,
- 40:18Speaker 9: good things can happen.
- 40:20Speaker 4: It really is a heck of a remembrance of just
- 40:24Speaker 4: how how far it looked like we were gonna be
- 40:27Speaker 4: walking into a gap year for the Milwaukee person.
- 40:30Speaker 5: The greatest year in franchise history wins and losses one.
- 40:32Speaker 3: And that's where you need the perspective. The hot takes
- 40:34Speaker 3: that flew out when the Brewers were zero and four.
- 40:37Speaker 4: It's like, Okay, I did a lot of we did
- 40:40Speaker 4: a lot of chicken, little radio I did on that
- 40:43Speaker 4: side of the table. Arm is like a lot of
- 40:45Speaker 4: ball game left. There is a lot of There are
- 40:48Speaker 4: a lot of games left. I kept bringing up the
- 40:50Speaker 4: eleven Brewers that we started going for. I kept doing
- 40:52Speaker 4: all that stuff, and I was like, perspective.
- 40:55Speaker 5: Long May like entering May. I'm like, well, you know,
- 40:57Speaker 5: maybe this is a step back here. They haven't had
- 40:59Speaker 5: one of those in a while. And yeah, right, and
- 41:02Speaker 5: they and then they went and set the franchise record.
- 41:04Speaker 4: May was the year that the month that it started
- 41:07Speaker 4: to feel like, Okay, this just might be what you're
- 41:09Speaker 4: watching and maybe they're kind of telling you who they are.
- 41:11Speaker 4: There's a lot of different, you know, lines of demarcation
- 41:14Speaker 4: the years in the games that you think of.
- 41:16Speaker 5: June nineteenth was one that we talked about a lot.
- 41:18Speaker 4: With that club series, the Yelicha walk off Grand Slam
- 41:22Speaker 4: end of May, they just start to turn the tides.
- 41:25Speaker 5: There's a number of them in then Miz gets to
- 41:27Speaker 5: the party and it was.
- 41:29Speaker 4: Like, yeah, and the youthful energy drew that you know
- 41:32Speaker 4: you've been in these clubhouses, you you can touch on
- 41:35Speaker 4: it of just like how infectious it is watching somebody
- 41:38Speaker 4: go through that to start their career. They get that
- 41:41Speaker 4: boost every single year because they're gonna have a couple
- 41:43Speaker 4: more guys probably starting with the big league club in
- 41:45Speaker 4: their first years of at NLB service.
- 41:47Speaker 5: No doubt.
- 41:48Speaker 3: We had a couple of texterters asking us if Jennifer
- 41:51Speaker 3: Nukean leaving as chancellor of the UW and heading for
- 41:53Speaker 3: Columbia in a couple months, will that affect.
- 41:56Speaker 5: Athletics The question The answer is, we don't know. Until
- 41:58Speaker 5: we find out who the successor.
- 42:00Speaker 4: We don't know who the successor is and we don't
- 42:01Speaker 4: know how much of the money that we talked about.
- 42:03Speaker 5: That they were going to be able to spend actually there.
- 42:06Speaker 5: It looks like they spent it. Though on the football side,
- 42:08Speaker 5: it looks like they spent it. I'm fascinated to see
- 42:11Speaker 5: who they get in here and who is a part
- 42:13Speaker 5: of the hiring process.
- 42:14Speaker 3: Thanks to Scott Dolphin for hanging out with Thanks for
- 42:16Speaker 3: all your game balls and kicks to the balls.
