• 0:02
  Speaker 1: Here's your host, Alex Garrett.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: Well, in continuing the big game coverage post reaction, we
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: get Terminolo's take. Hey, Louis, how are.
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: We I'm doing well? Uh, Alex? Uh, you're doing okay.
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: Well, you know what, We're gonna have a mix of
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: young voices and veteran voices. We got you, we got Dean,
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: We got Ryan Pagano coming on this week. So it's
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: gonna be a mix of reaction this week. How about that?
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: Well, you have the old guy here and then you
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: have you have the young guys.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: They're never old. Lou Year's youthful as ever, So let's talk.
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: I got to say a.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: Couple of things before we start. You know, we saw it.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: How wrong was I last week? How saying it's it
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: was gonna be a terrific game, And uh, you can't
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: go against Mahomes and you can't go against Mahomes until
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: he loses. Well, now they lost.
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: I never what did I say all season? I feel
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: like you cut up a reel and me saying every
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: win they've had been in un eddie, I don't trust
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: them in the playoffs. And while they got there to
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: the Super Bowl, a lot of the flaws that every
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: we were saying showed up on Sunday right.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: No doubt about it. Obviously, they had trouble with the
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: Philadelphia defensive front. Like we said last week that they
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: were going to have trouble with the defensive front, the
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: speed and the mobility of them, and obviously having a
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: two wei who's an All Pro guard go out to
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: tackle that was just that was just a killer for them.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: But the better team won. We said all year the
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: Eagles had a better roster than anybody in the league,
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: and they they proved it that they're they're the Super
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: Bowl champions, deserving Super Bowl champion. Now I would not
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: have given Jalen Hurts the end. Yes, he played a
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: very solid game. I think he threw the ball better
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: in the last two games than at any time during
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: the course of the season against the Commanders and against
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: the Chiefs. But defense won that game for Philadelphia, led
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: by Josh Schwatt. He had two and a half sacks,
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: he had six pressures. Obviously, the Eagles defensive front was
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: harassing Mahomes the whole game. You had to give it
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: to a defensive player. You had to give it to
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: Josh Swett. In my opinion, but the quarterback is the
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: low hanging fruit.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: It's easy, but well, you know, and you know what,
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: the manning throw to Tyree will live in him, live forever,
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: even the manning him throwing the second role. They beat
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: the Patriots, but they wouldn't have won those Super Bowls
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: if they didn't have the defense. And I believe that's
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: true in this case as well.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: It's very similar, Alex to those games.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: And how wild is it? We saw Brady who you
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: know what? I think you did okay? As announcer, I
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: prefer Kevin Harlan in Westwood one Sports. That's my guy.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: I love listening to him. But kudos to Kevin Burkhart,
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: a local guy right calling another Ship Bowl for Fox
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: is pretty cool. But the point is you saw Brady.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: He was watching exactly what he underwent about seventeen years ago.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: I think that's kind of a weird full circle moment
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: right there.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: It is. And I thought Brady was okay in the
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: first half. The second half the game was so bad.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: I mean, you knew that, you knew that the game
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: was over, and it's hard to try to juice up
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: a game like that if if you're a play by.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: Play because tomorrow is Lincoln's birthday, and he literally said,
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: the Eagles are up by four score and I'm like, see,
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: that's a great tribute to right there.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: A good catch, a very good catch.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: Being of good catch, Cooper de Gene. You know, I
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: was making this point yesterday and maybe you'll agree or disagree.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: If there wasn't a Jaydon Daniels in the Rookie of
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: the Year running right Dejene was up there. I mean,
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: he had quite a year for those Eagles.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: Well he was. I mean, obviously it was a great pick,
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: A great pick for the Eagles. They have the two
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: young guys in the back, Dejeene and Quinton Mitchell Verse
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: one the defensive player get deservingly so for the Rams.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's a great edge rusher. But Dejene was
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: you know, he was one of the finalists for Defensive
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: Rookie of the Year. One of the things that you
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: can't criticize anybody in this game as far as strategy,
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: I don't believe. But I'm just gonna throw a little
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: criticism to Andy Reid and last week he said he's
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: not only a great coach, he's also a great offensive coordinator.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: I did not think he had a great game as
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: an offensive Cornata last week. The first thirteen plays at
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: the Chiefs ran, he passed twelve times, so they never
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: established a run. And then they knew that their offensive
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: line was getting the crap kick out of them, and
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: at halftime Andy Reid and the chief offensive staff made
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: no adjustments to try to alleviate that pressure. I mean
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: right away, they had two sacks in that first minute
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: of the second half. So hey, everybody has a bad day.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: All I know is as a fan of the New
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: York Jets, I would love to be in the Super
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: Bowl five times in six years and win three of them.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: So I'll just take I'll just take having the Giants
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: colors on the Empire State build they have for Super Bowl. Okay,
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: That's what I'll take it this, you know, the only
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: one this game was there were a couple of things
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: and I say, and I guess they listened to me,
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: the Saints because I said, pay Kellen Moore, and sure enough,
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: they're gonna pay him to be their head coach. But
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: you know, he he outlasted a defensive Hall of Fame
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: coordinator in Spegnol. He's a Hall of Fame coordinator. Do
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: they have those things in the Hall of Fame, or.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: I mean they don't. They've never put a coordinator in
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame. I think they're gonna have to
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: because the coordinators, you know, many years ago, we not
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: even many years ago, not too long ago. Yeah, we
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: knew of Bill Arnsbarg with Miami and you know Belichick.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: But now the coordinators are front and center, whether offensive
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: or defense. They have taken a different mantle in the
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: administration of a coaching staff. They're important.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: They know. It changes all that debate now because all
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: these coordinators a getting hired as head coaches. So all
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: of the Campbell staff is now basically a head coach. Yeah,
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: a lot of the Belichick coordinators are now head coaches.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: I mean it's a thing they have developed in their
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: coordinator role to become a great head coach.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and some of them, Alex, some of them when
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: they get the chance to be.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: A head coach, not always great, right and then, but.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: They're great coordinators. So you know, but that that is
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: so important in modern football. You have to have an
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: outstanding coordinator both offensive, defense and special teams coordinator also.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: A big fangio. Not letting the Chiefs and I know
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: it's defense, but he was coordinating in the right way
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: to not let the Chiefs get anywhere near midfield to
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: the third quarter. Whoever, as I said yesterday, who can
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: we say that about with any other game with the Chiefs.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: I've never seen that ever with the Chiefs.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's remarkable. They went the first forty
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: two minutes of the game before they cross midfield.
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: And turnovers for Mahomes. Now, my fiance Gabby, who was
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: actually rooting hard against the Chiefs, believe we're all chiefed out. Okay,
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: we're all cheaper. She thinks that got to his head.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: Did this three peat thing get to his head a
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: little bit you think?
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: Or no, it did not. It did not. The three
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: pet thing didn't get through his head. There's still a dynasty,
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: there's still going to be great. They're still going to
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: be one of the favorites next year. Mahomes is still
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: the best player in the league. None of that has changed,
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: you team.
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: Did we see a foreshadow with the Xavier Worthy connection
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: for touchdown? Like, could that be the new Kelsey Mahomes thing?
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: If Kelsey, you know, as his.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: Time, Obviously he's younger. We all know, if Kelsey's going
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: to be playing next year, I have a feeling Kelsey
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: will play. I don't think he wants to go out
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: on you know, on such a terrible loss. Uh but uh,
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: I mean worthy, he's the best receiver, without question, He's
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: at fastest receiver. But again, Alex, it was no game.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: I mean it was forty to six with three minutes
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: to go.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: So but I want to mention that Vic Fangio. People
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: may not know he was oh and six against him
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: as a bron eight eight.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: Well, you're right, oh and six with the process of
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: Miami Denver, You're right.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: So I mean, what a uh, what a change, what
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: a change of pace? And you know, this ego team
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: had basically the same Personnal. I know, Saquon change a
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: lot of that culture as well. Everybody was highlighting the
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: week five. You talk about it to Sirianni yelling at
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: the fans. I mean, this was a turmoil team and
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: yet here they are. They just looked like a different
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: team than they were back when the home the Hurts
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: Sirianni duo made it against a few years ago.
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: So well, they both were they both were younger, and
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: they both you know now you go back to that
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: instance of Sirianna yelling at the fans and they had
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: to I don't know if they had to bye week
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: the next week, but right around that time and everybody
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: was saying, oh, you don't want to get your bye
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: week early in the season. I think that helped them.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: I think having the bye week that early in the
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: season helped pull them together. And uh, they only lost
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: one game the rest of the way. And Alex if
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: you remember that game, if DeVante Smith holds onto that
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: third down pass, they would't have lost any games post
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: by week.
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: It's amazing when when the when the Redskins, when the
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: Commanders beat the Eagles in that signature game for Jaden Daniels,
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: I really thought we were going to see a new
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: king of the NFC East, and yet Egos prevail. And
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: you did say early on, still watch out for them,
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: no matter how under the radar, no matter how shaky
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: they could be there, they're still a threat. And clearly
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: they won the Super Bowl, so they're always going to
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: be a threat. Now for the Giants, I'm hoping seeing
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: Barkley for them, seeing Barkley winn it a year after
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: leaving the Giants, motivates them to do right by their
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: running backs. Have a better offensive line. I mean, this draft,
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: all lives are gonna be on the QB. But we
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: see how important it is for a front line. And
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: you know what, you put Tyrone Tracy behind a very
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: solid front line. The Giants could be in the postseason
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: next year.
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: Well, I mean they can have a very potent running game. Obviously,
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: they need they need linebackers, they need to build up
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: an offensive line, they need a quarterback.
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: Stafford the answer, I mean, he's getting older, but he's
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: he's still successful.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know why, and I guess I
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: heard that this morning that Stafford might be up for trade.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: First of all, I don't know why the Rams portray
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: him because they they're still in super Bowl mode. It's
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: not like they have to go through a rebuild. So
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: I don't know if this is real or fake. But
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: I don't understand why the Giants would would have any
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: any interest in.
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: I saw one block trade trade Devin Singletary. No Signletary
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: is part of that running game. You keep him there.
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: I mean, he's a good part of that running game. Now,
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: one other thing before we get to it, because there
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: is another thing that happened this weekend that no one
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: really is talking about except maybe you and I and
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: the premiere of the Saint John's Redstorm rising on Vice
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: Sports tonight. It is gonna be pretty cool. We gotta
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: talk about them upsetting Yukon on Friday. We gotta talk
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: about that in a second, but before we get there.
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: You're a historical guy. Ever seen a coordinator or someone
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: on the Super Bowl sideline win or lose, end up
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: going back to the host team as the head coach
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: a year later? I mean this thing with Kellen Moore,
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: I'm obsessed with it because I've never seen something where
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: a coach or coordinator goes to the host team of
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: the Super Bowl a year later. I've never seen that before.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: Again, I would have to think about that to see
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: if a quarter that went to a host's city interesting.
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: And could be a good four shout out for New Orleans,
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: you know, I mean, you never know.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: So you know he has he has his work cut
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: out for him. He does, and uh.
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: Well, you know who their quarterback is going to be, Like,
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: I don't know what he's walking into right now.
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: In norm I mean he has Derek Carr. I think
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: he has two more years left on his deal. I mean,
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: he's thirty three, so he's not ancient. Do they keep him? Alex?
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: There's so many teams looking for a quarterback.
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: That's the way your Jets are in the med. Do
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: you think the Jets handled is right? I feel like
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: they went to the press instead of just handling, and
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: it looks like another botched moving on statement. Am I
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: right or no?
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: I would say I would say no and I would
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: have And I can go either way on on this.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: I understand why. Uh, you know, the new general manager,
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: the new coach, the new administration. Uh, as far as
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: football operations go, they want long they want to establish
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: long range success. That being said, the best quarterback that's
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: out there, unless something somebody shakes loose, is Aaron Rodgers.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: But again, you're only gonna have him. It's only one
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: year left on his deal, so I don't know if
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: they're gonna trade him. If they're gonna go, they're gonna
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: wait till June first to cut them whatever that whichever
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: works first for the cap. I took on either way
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: on it. If it was me, if I was in
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: that if I was in that lot, if I was
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: in that room. I would have kept him. I would
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: have kept him because it's not like there's somebody better
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: now that is.
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: Either trying to make a name for himself as a
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: head coach, going in guns blazing with this, or he's
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: really serious. I think it's a mix of all. I
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: think he wants to make that first impression with the
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: Jets organization, and I think he wants to make legitimate
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: changes as he's taken over right new sheriff in town.
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: So well, again, there's this misconception that everybody in the
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: locker room hated Aaron Rodgers. Well, I watched a lot
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: of guys on radio road last week and even during
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: the season that was not That's not true at all.
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: The media hates Aaron Rodgers.
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: Well, they opened him with all these different stories about him.
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: It's like the.
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: Media hates Aaron Rodgers, and Aaron Rodgers knows how to
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: play the media.
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: He does.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: He does.
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: That's why I'm in a giant You know, that would
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: be so funny if he ended up on the other
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: side of the locker room.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: I mean, I know, I mean, if that happens, it
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: would be a shocker because then he's forty one. If
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: he gets banged up and he misses games and the
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: Giants go four and thirteen. David will be gone, Joe
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: Shane will be gone. If they if they draft a
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: young quarterback, m hm, they have to go through the
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: growing pains. They'll buy some They'll buy some time, I believe.
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: Now, wait a minute, I do want to say this,
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: say quant and Eli, although he was injured a little
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: bit in the beginning, they did play with each other.
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: And I just think, imagine if Barkley had that front
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: line and Manny a front line, it could have been
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: a Manning Barkley super Bowl back in the day. That
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: would have been really fun. But I can only wish.
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: So let's move on because I do want to mention.
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: Unless you have other thoughts on the Super Bowl, I'm
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: pretty much there was nothing else to talk about. The
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: game happened, Philly went into chaos as always.
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: I mean, it just it was thirty four nothing, the
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: game was over.
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: So let's talk about a more meaningful moment in our area.
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: Saint John's beating yukon Saturday Friday night. What a way
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: to kick off Super Bowl weekend. More importantly, two statement
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: games back to back. We've talked about lou there for real.
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: But why is Patino such a successful second year head coach?
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: I hear that's the thing about it. What second year
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: and go.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: To these teams. A great coach, he builds, he builds
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: winners quickly. Last year they were on a bubble. They
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: probably should have been in, could have been in. We
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: said it last year they would be a bubble team.
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: We say this year they should go deep into the tournament,
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: probably to the second week of the weekend of the season,
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: of the postseason. He's a great he's a great coach.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: They're a great defensive team. It's funny I was reading yesterday.
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: It was I guess I was reading today. He picked
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: out thirty five or thirty six errors in the game.
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: Now you win a game at Stores, Connecticut, and I
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: think Saint John's might be better than Uka. Who knows so
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: may not be an upset like like most people thieve,
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: but this is what makes him a great coach. Thirty
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: five thirty six hours. So we can go in there,
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: into that locker room, make sure their heads don't get big,
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: and he'll point out every one of those so called errors,
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: and uh, it'll it'll improve the team they have. They
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: have a walkover on Saturday at Seaton Hall. Who's just
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: horrendous and uh I think, I mean at ninth in
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: the country, when was the less time that happens?
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: And I see they have a well they did have
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: back to back years now of former Seaton Hall guys.
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: I see Kadari Richmond's on this team now, I mean
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: that's he's that's so remarkable because the guy Wushu was
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: that leader of the locker room last year for them.
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: I mean, so kar Richmond's a much better player.
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: Well, Kadari when his time at Scena Hall, he was
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: basically player of the game almost every night. That kid
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: up the scoreboard. So it's it's good to see him succeed.
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: You're a Seenah Hall fan. But when you see these
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: guys succeed in other jerseys, I know it's Saint John's
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: and the right.
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: That doesn't make me happy. I'm not like you that way.
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: That doesn't make me happy. I'm I'm not happy when
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: they guy not all the time. Not all the time, Alex,
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: most of the time. When you're gone, you're gone. A
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: couple of times in my life when Tom Seaver, when
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: the Mets screwed Tom Seaver and trade him. All Met
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: fans universally rooted for Tom Seaver when he was on
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: the Reds, when he was on the White Sox.
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: And that's why when he went to his three hundred wins,
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: I was aware what he won.
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: At the Yankee Stadium that day. I was at the
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: game with my with my my French fellow Mets fans,
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: and there was forty five fifty thousand people in the place,
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: and thirty thousand of them were rooting for sever so
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: but most of the time, I don't I don't care.
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: I mean, now here's where, here's why I'm a little nervous. Right. So,
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: Saquon wins the first year out of the Giants uniform
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: into the Eagles Yankee fans, I hope this isn't a
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: pattern where Soto wins his first year as a Met.
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: I would not want to see that happen, Okay, I.
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: Just I want to see that happen.
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: Of course you do, Louis, but we'll have to see
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: anything else. I know you want to talk about the
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: Hall of Fame. And look, I'm gonna just be very
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: blunt right now. Eli, Yes, beat Brady twice. That's an
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: accomplishment the way he did it was still remarkable. I
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: mean the way he got out of that and he
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: did lead the team down the field for those winning drives.
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: But we always had our gripes from in the regular season.
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: I feel like Hall of Fame looks at it all
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: around player, how you were in the regular season the postseason.
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: He'll be a second ballot, but maybe first ballot is
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: a stretch to think he would be a first ballot
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: Hall of Famer.
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: Okay, I know the quarterback position is different than other
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: positions in football. I understand that it's a key position.
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: It's one of the most important positions in football. But
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: Eli Manning was one of five first year nominees along
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: with Luke, Keigley, Adam Benettieri, Terrell Suggs, and Marshall Yander.
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: All of those guys that I just mentioned, with the
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: exception of Eli, were first team All NFL. Keithley five
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: times First team All Pro. He was a defensive Rookie
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: of the Year. He was the NFL Defensive Player of
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: the Year with the Colts or which team with the Panthers.
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: Louke from Horston College, Adam Vanteri four time Super Bowl winner,
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: Clutch Kicks, three time First Team All NFL two thousand
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: and four scoring champion, Parell Slubbs, NFL Defensive Rookie the
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: Year in two thousand and three, Defensive Player that You're
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: in twenty eleven. Play on two Super Bowl winning teams,
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: one at the end of the career when he was
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: a backup at Kansas City and won. He had a
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: main part when they beat San Francisco in the super
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: Dome when the lights went out. Marshall Yander a great guard.
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: Two time first Team All Pro, five times second Team
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: All Pro, member of the All Decade Team twenty tens,
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: and he played on that World championship team in Baltimore.
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: Thirty four Sampson of thirty one. Eli Manning has never
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: gotten one MVP vote, not even a tense plays vote.
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: He's never gotten an MVP vote, the only black type
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: he has in regular seasons. He led the NFL in
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: interceptions three times. Yes, I know, he's in the top
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: ten in all time passing yards. I get it. I'm
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: not saying he shouldn't be in. But if Luke Kickley
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: couldn't get in on the first ballot, which is a travesty,
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: how could anybody complain about Eli Manning getting on the
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: first ballot. And I do believe if you're a Hall
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: of Fame, you're a Hall of Famer. But first ballot
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: does mean something. The fact that Keickley didn't get in
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: as a five time Pro Bowl, All NFL Defensive Rookie
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: of the Year, Defensive Player of the Year, egan tackles
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: two or three times, right, I mean, I know, you know,
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: I've heard all these people complaining that Eli didn't get in. Yes,
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: I know, he was Super Bowl MVP twice, but really,
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: let's face it, We're twelve minutes ago in that Super Bowl,
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: that historic Super Bowl which the Giants beat the Patriots,
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: loss of the year. We're twelve minutes ago. The Giants
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: had three friggin points three, they were losing seven to three.
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: So again, I he'll get in. So everybody got calm down.
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: But if these guys didn't get in before him, how
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: could people complain about, you know, I mean, Manning not
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: getting in.
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: I'm looking at your room. By the way, I love
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: the back job. Is that the retired islander or ranger
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: numbers are any signatures that.
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: Is retired that is retired islander numbers that one of
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: my friend who works in the NHL gave me it's
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: the retirement with the Dennis pottin h Clark, Gilly's, Brian Trache,
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: Mike Bossy, Bobby Nystrom, and the great clutch goalie Billy Smith,
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: all who play on those teams.
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: That one right there, Lineman of the Year or the
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: NFL Lineman of the Year, that is U Joe Cleco
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: and Joe Feels.
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: Back in nineteen eighty six, Uh year, Jesse did make
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: the playoffs and then lost one of the toughest games
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: in their history that they had wrapped up in Cleveland
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: in double overtime. A terrible loss for the Jets.
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: So uh yeah, very cool. No, I just I love
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: the back I love when you go into people's rooms
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: and you see what they have in the backup. It's
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: made the zoom era very different, you know anyway it
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: has anyway back to this Hall of Fame conversation real quick,
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: the I the the sharp and I get it the
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: sharp because of his brother. And then of course Antonio
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: Gates another one.
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: He should have made it last year, Alex. The fact
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: he wasn't the first time. Uh.
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: And you know Gates is a guy that was on
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: those Charger teams that just they didn't get to that
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: next level. And I always feel like that's the the
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: curt Bowl of Charges. They have all these great players,
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: they just don't know how to get to the next level.
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: I don't know if that's organizational or or what, but
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: they just don't.
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: It could be just one of those things. But you're
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: you're one hundred correct on it. They just don't. They
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: have all these great players, Philip Rivers, Uh, well, these
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: they've had great receivers. They had the great Danileen Towinson
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: a Hall of Fame, Are you're right? Yeah?
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: And and so that's uh that that's good for Antonio Gates.
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: But I want to ask you this because Kukley was
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: sort of in that same situation with Carolina, right they
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: they were there with Camp a little bit. But whenever
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: you see these guys stand out on weaker teams, that
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: makes them even more Hall of Fame worthy.
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: Wouldn't you say, well, again, he was so good. I
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: don't care if he was on if he was on
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: the Chiefs, if he's on Carolina. He was that good.
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: And the fact that he didn't get in on his
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: first ballot, to me, that's a head scratcher. I don't.
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: I wish I was in that room when they were
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: when they were voting on Keithley. It's it's really it's
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: really strange. I took the guy to me when I
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: watched him play. The guy was spectacular every week.
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: I know. Do you wish these writer or associations would
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: reform their way of thinking or have any kind of change.
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: I mean, well, it's a little bit different at the
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: end the You know, the Major League Baseball has four
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: hundred writers media people that vote on it, and I
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: guess you've had to had to cover major League Baseball
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: for ten years for at least one hundred games a year.
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: That's what it used to be. I'm sure it still lives.
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: But in the NFL, it's fifty media members, mostly writers.
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure if they're all writers in a room
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: and each guy, each writer makes an argument for a
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: guy from the team that they covered. So I know,
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: for Eli Manning, Bob Glauber of Newsday made the presentation
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: for Eli. He made he made Eli's presentation of why
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: he should be a Hall of Famer. You know, Bob
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: Glauber is now retired news guy for the most part,
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: but he covered the jetson Giants for Newsday. So, but
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: that's how the NFL does. But it's only it's only
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: fifty only fifty guys in a room and uh, fifty
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: guys and gals in a room who covered the NFL.
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: Just it's a little strange. Like Gary Myers was the
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: present got Cleco after all these years. He did that
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: on Justice, he got Cleco in. He was his presenter.
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: He was the one who fought the fight to get
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: to get Joe Clecker in the Hall of Fame.
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: So, and he's got a new book out, I think,
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: if I'm not mistaken, Ye.
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: He's written a bunch of books.
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: With Gary Myers and now so you who's always good.
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: I listened to him on the different things over the
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: years as well. All right, Uh, speaking of media, did
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: you like the way Media Row was covered Radio Row?
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: Did you follow it at all? I know you probably
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: were lead to TV and see how they follow they
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: were doing it on radio.
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, a radio row, I think because of because of Zoom,
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: apparently there wasn't that many Radio Row of people down
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: there as in the past. Apparently on Friday ninety percent
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: of them were out of there. And but you know,
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: most of the players that are interviewed not only talk
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: about the NFL, talk about the game, but they're all
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: hawking something. Even Garnkowski, he was on with Mad Dog
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: on Friday, uh and but he was hawking. He was
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: doing he was a spokesperson for Bounty you know.
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: Okay, So, and there's a lot of guys get these
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: sponsorships and that's how they get on Radio Row, and
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: that's what.
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: It is all week. So but I don't know, you
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: might see radio right might become a thing of the past.
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: So who the heck knows because radio stations don't have
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: to send a guy out there for a week and
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: the producer and the board and spend all that money
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: for a hotel room and space in the space in
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: the convention center or the hotel where radio row is.
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: Who knows what the future because of technology, what the
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: future of Radio row might be.
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: Were you surprised though, despite the blowout, they broke ratings.
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: I see they were like the most watched Super Bowl?
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: Is that correct?
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah? I thought going into the game they would break
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: the record, But I didn't think they would break the
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: record if it was thirty four to nothing with two
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: or three minutes to go in the third quarter. The
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: fact that they broke the record did surprise me.
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: Well, I think there's people actually more gripped to it, right, like,
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: oh my god, the Chiefs are actually going to be
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: taken down. I mean, we didn't see that happening, but
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: not just that they were taking on by forty to six.
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: Just the score is and you know, it's funny. I
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: was still thinking, well, why don't they just turn off
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: the lights they did eleven years ago make this a
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: little closer, because remember the Ravens were blowing out the
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: Niners at that time, and I loved it because it
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: was a hardball Bowl and all that. And I didn't
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: said this on the air last week because I was
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: more focused on getting Kevin Harland back on the show,
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: you know, like getting that plate clip played. But you know,
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: I begged Kevin Harland the information during that blackout for
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: him to be talking about it on then DOLLG Global Sports.
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: So I feel like I played a role as an
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: intern getting out the information on the blackout. It's just
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: all the connections to that game were coming to mind
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: because that was the first time since eleven years it
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: was beneck and no one, so and we saw we
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: saw the president there and the screen time debate between
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: him and Taylor. They had nothing else to talk about.
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: That was the problem. They had no talk about.
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: So they had nothing to talk about. I mean they
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: really they really didn't. And uh, you can't blame Kevin Burkhart.
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: You can't blame Tom Brady. They had nothing to talk about.
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: There was there was There was no game. The most
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: I was surprised that they would win a game that
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: in dominant fashion without Barkley basically doing anything. I mean,
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: he had ninety six seven yards total in the game.
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: I think his longest run was nine yards, but doesn't matter.
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: Obviously there were no I know, and Kevin, Kevin Burkert goes, well,
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: there he goes, and it was like a nine yard run.
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: It was just like, oh, there's that burst of Barkley
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: or something like, it's a nine yard run. What are
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: we talking about here?
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: You know, it would mean it was you know, Kevin
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: Kevin Burkhart when it was thirty four. Nothing was trying
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: to trying to make the game somewhat interesting. And sometime
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: the announce it can hurt himself when he does that,
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: when everybody watching knows it's probably it's out of reach.
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: Well, he was trying to keep it interesting.
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: He was trying to keep it interesting. I think at
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: one point he said, uh, the chiefs of five possessions
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: behind like this, we're even.
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: Talking about this part yet. That first flag on the
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: offensive face mask. It was a legitimate call. But I
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: know the wheels are turning in people here we go,
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: they're gonna rig it. Did you feel like they were like, oh,
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: this is gonna be a first call, first up for
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: debate caller. It was a legitimate call.
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: By the way it was, it was it was fifty
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: to fifty. I would not have called it. I didn't
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: think it interfered with U.
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: The play with the defensive back trying to defend uh
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: defend the age was aj and so I would I
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: would not have.
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: You mentioned you mentioned Barkley's not running but he made
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: an incredible catch at about the three.
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: That that was an incredible catch, and uh, so we
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: had a great good for him. Giant, the Giant. I
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: don't want to hear anything about the Giants is the
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: wrong thing. The Giants is the right thing in trying
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: to build their team.
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: So the only role that they did was I didn't
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: give him a support system back when he was first drafted.
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: That was right.
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well that's all you can say. I mean, this
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: Eagle offensive line, and I've been watching football for six decades.
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: This Eagle offensive line is as good as the Dallas
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: offensive line in the early nineties, the Washington offensive line
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: in the eighties that won three Super Bowls in the
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: eighties and into the early part of the nineties, and
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: what they call the Electric Company in Buffalo from like
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: seventy due to seventy six with OJ when OJ was
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: putting up those ridiculous numbers.
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: Amazing.
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: But yeah, this offensive line is as good as it
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: might be the best I've ever seen.
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: All Right. I get bothered when they put out the
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: new odds for Super Bowl sixty. By the way, we're
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: gonna go. Are we gonna go looing and our sponsor
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: and get us down there for sup Bowl sixty?
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we need somebody's sponsor us. It's uh. The tickets
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: are like six thousand dollars.
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: That would be I mean, the sixtieth Super Bowl. I
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: would freaking love to go and do that as coverage.
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: You know, that would be special. So maybe you and
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: I can work on that. This this this year, we.
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: Got we gotta work on it, Alex. I'd love to go.
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: It's the only major sporting championship event that I have
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: never been to.
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: And where what where is it? By the way, I
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: don't even know where it is.
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: Let's see, Uh it's in uh?
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: Is it in Vegas?
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: I think it's in Vegas next year? And I think
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: it's in uh Los Angeles the year after that, and
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: I think it's in Atlanta a year after that.
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: They should put in Philly for the two hundred fifty
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: Birthday of America. They should have done that next year.
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: Okay, that's well, if Philly had a if Philly had
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: a dome stadium, they might.
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: Have Yeah, yeah, yeah, well. I was also I was
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: really happy that it was secure in New Orleans because
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: they've had a rough month, you know, obviously the this
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: and there was a lot of security concerns. But thank god,
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: nothing happened. All right, LOUI, I want to look forward
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: for a minute, because obviously we're not gonna stop turnlefs
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: take out of the Super Bowl. So what are you
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: looking for in the next couple of months. It's March Madness.
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: Now Baseball's here pictures and catchers reporting. By the way,
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: I know about you this part of February into March,
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: and then March with all the baseball and then March Madness.
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: It's a fun month. And the Rangers still in that
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: playoff hunt. It's gonna be an interesting couple of months here.
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: Oh, I think it is. And I'm actually looking forward
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: to even though I don't think it was necessary, but
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to the Four Nations I'll be watching.
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: I'll watch all those games.
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: And I was gonna take Gabby up to Boston by
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: the way side. No, I was gonna take her up there,
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: but it's gonna be snow he so I said, Nope,
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: not happening. It isn't too much snow for that.
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: But hopefully a lot of people have fun the Yeah, Now,
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: traveling may not be easy in the snow, but I'm
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: looking forward. I'm gonna watch the games, obviously. I'm looking
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: forward to the end of the hot season and the
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: Stanley Cup playoffs. Hopefully the NBA playoffs will bet in
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: the NBA regular season. And I'm looking.
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: Forward to Dona's debut last night. Have you watched in
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: the video he looks a little lost on the Lakers,
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: like he almost still looks a bit shocked him. Are
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: you reading into that at all or not really?
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: Well, again, that's his first game. I don't read into
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: that at all. I mean he got you know, ten
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: days ago, he thought he was gonna be a Maverick
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: for life. And now you know, remember we were still
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: dealing with human beings, not robots.
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: I know, it's it's very upside down. So we'll have
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: to see. And then one last thing, someone who will
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: never be in the Hall of Fame because it was
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: SARAHI do you although he just had incredible numbers. A
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: Rod is a majority owner of the Timberwolves, and I
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: gotta ask you this. You kept asking yourself why did
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: the Wolves trade Carl Andthony Towns? And I'm like, well,
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: maybe they had an apathetic owner. After all, I don't know,
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: the guys owned him for about thirty years. It just
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: maybe they need that fresh fresh blood now with him
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: becoming owner a Ron.
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: I would say so. And he also has ownership of
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: the Links, the WNBA team now, and.
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: They were down like eighteen to one at one point yesterday. Okay,
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: it's not fun. And I don't know why they thought
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: getting Randall and maybe it was a money thing to
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: save the money from Towns. I don't know, but it's
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: just it's not worked out for the Minnesota.
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: No, it really hasn't. And I still don't understand it.
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: I mean because Karl Anthony Towns was under contract for
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: two more years with the t Wolves and here's a
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: team that was right there. So I don't know. But
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: the NBA, like I said to you, it's been a
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: very NBA strange.
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: Absolutely all right, littell any other thoughts that you wanted
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: to cover before today? I mean, we should have been
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: doing an hour long of Super Bowl, but there was
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: nothing to talk about. So what else is there right now? Well?
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: One last thing? I know there was some controversy that, uh,
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: you know, Lamar Jackson was First Team All Pro and
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: Josh Allen won the MVP. As we've talked about on
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: this show. Uh, there was a lot of MVP candidates
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: who will be deserving if Joe Burrow had won the MVP,
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: just because even though they were only nine and eight,
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: the only reason they were nine and eight was because
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: of Joe Burrow. I couldn't scream if Jackson wanted, you
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: couldn't scream if you gave it to Barkley, you couldn't scream.
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: If you gave it to Jayden Daniels, who won Offensive
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: Rookie of the Year, if he won MVP, you couldn't scream.
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: So there was This was a tough year for the voters.
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: There was a lot of you know, a lot of
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: worthy candidates. Even Homes was the worthy candidate because let's
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: face it, this team, this Chief team was not a
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: great offensive team in any way, shape or form, and
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: he always came through with those plays to help them
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: win those seventeen straight.
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: In the last two minutes type of thing.
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: Right, So he was definitely an MVP candidate. So that's
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: the only thing I know. People are like scratching heads
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: on it, very very tough y of MVP Alan. I
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: have no problem that he wanted I mean, he was fantastic.
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: I think he also won because he made the best
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: of what he with what he had.
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: I mean, and I agree, I agree with that he
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: put him on his back.
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, so there you go. And we can say
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: that for Lindor he should have been MVP. But what
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: do we know, right, louis all right, well, this year,
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: this year, this year, he might one last thing, one
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: last thing, because I want to get this on video.
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: I never thought i'd say Snoop Dogg had a more
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: explosive mum drry regarding the NFL than the Super Bowl.
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: He was more explosive than the Super Bowl. Was I
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: never thought i'd say that, But.
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: There, well, I can't. I can't deny that. That's for sure.
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: He was.
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: He was funny. He was very Uh, I kind of
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: like the Chiefs riffing because it just makes there are
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: obvious things that make you feel like the reps are
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: in the back pocket sometimes, you know. But anyway, Louis,
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: we will talk to you soon and uh, here we
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: go spring training. I'm excited. I know the Budd's gonna
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: be all over next week when Monstro gets down to
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: is he gonna go in like a horse, you know,
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: on a horse like Cesspenist there.
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, No, I don't think he's gonna be on the horse.
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: By the way, did you hit that wants to come back?
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: He wants to He wants to come back. He's thirty
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: nine years old, he hasn't played in four years. He
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: wants to launch a comeback.
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: Well, we were at Pinstroy Pride a lot of those
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: guys are still in shape, so it looks like, I mean,
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: some of these guys look like they could still play
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: and they've been out of the game for ten years already.
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: So it's amazing that these athletes are amazing. That's just
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: that's sir.
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: And while we're on it, kudos to Wade Boggs, Hall
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: of Bamer. He did beat cancer. How cool of a
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: story is that.
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: That's that's a that's a good story. Those are the
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: stories we love to hear.
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: So kudos Sam. And he was at Pinchrock Pride and
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: I love when they give their time for all of this,
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: you know, it's it's nice to see them in the
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: community like that. Anyway, do you think that when Mahomes losing,
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: the obsession the media seemingly how with him is over
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: or will they still be obsessing with him?
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: No, I think that obviously still the best player in
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: the league. I don't know if they'll go without a
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: three peat that was the big thing to obsess over that.
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: I guess this puts a little bit of the talk
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: about him being the grace of all time on the
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: back burner. To me, Brady's the greatest football player, not
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: only quarterback since I've been watching football. Mahomes still has
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: a shot. The Chief dynasty is not going away. They're
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: still in the dynasty years. But the media will probably
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: because the Eagles are now the champions, their eyes will
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: probably be more on the Philadelphia team. Hurts Barkley, Syrianne
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: AJ Brown, who you know always is fighting on the
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: sidelines with put his coach or with somebody.
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: So well, maybe we'll do a pregame show outside that
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: Giants Eagles matchup in MetLife. I mean, that would be
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: a pretty cool thing to do, like the pregame show
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: right outside of it. That's gonna be electric. Let let's
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: set it up, PLU.
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: Thanks as always, Alex, thank you. I appreciate it.
