• 0:04
  Speaker 1: You were listening to The Sean O'Connell Show from the
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: Murdoch Hyundai Studio of ESPN seven hundred and ninety two
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: to one a half. Am, I remember three beginning ten
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: minutes late because I'm bad at my job. It's the
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: Sean O'Connell Show and me Welcome Jeff Schwartz, college football
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: and pro football insider.
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: Jeff, welcome. How are you. I didn't know you could
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: talk basketball. I beg you for so many years to
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: talk more basketball? Did you?
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: Did you beg me to talk basketball?
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: All of a sudden the Jazz make of trade and
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: you're all in on it? Okay? Yeah?
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: You When when people hear Jeff Schwartz, they know he
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: wants to talk basketball.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: I am sixteen to five in the last two nights
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: betting women's college basketball. It's the best sport to bet on.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: By the way, you are excellent a betting all women's sports.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: I am. It's just funny. It's just it's funny enough
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: that And now you know the reason why he started
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: watching with the basketball is because if we just covered
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: it on our show, because the fact was good At
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: Tara Vanderville Legend friend of the Program, the right, we
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: ever interviewed.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: I think we decided she was the most interviewed person
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: that we we checked in with.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, her, Bill Bender.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: We talked so much to Bill Bender as well. I
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: actually feel bad we haven't had Bill Bender on this show,
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: but like maybe one or twice. That's a that's bad.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: That's bad by me. That's that's my fault.
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: Season though.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: Well, let's talk about football, and we discussed the Bill
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: Belichick snub and now now the Robert Kraft snub.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: What do you think.
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: I look, if if the process is such to where
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: you can't vote in Belichick or Robert Kraft, then the
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: process is bad, right, And.
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: What you can though they can, right, But but the
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: voters right, but some of them said I wanted to
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: vote for Ken Anderson instead of Bill Belichick. And that
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: means the process is wrong, right, because they in their
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: minds they thought, oh, you know, we'll just but Bill
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: will get in next year. But Ken and Erston is
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: not a Hall of Famer over Bill Belichick. Neither is
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: Robert Kraft. By the way, the architects of the best
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: dynasty in all of professional football and the history of football.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: Now you know they had two separate dynasties. Honestly, right,
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: there was the three and four years and the three
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: and five years ten years apart. If those aren't first
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: Ball Hall of famers, what's the first Ball Hall of Famer?
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: What's the point of this process if those are not
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: the first guys in when they had the opportunity to
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: be in. And I get it, Look, they'll be in
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: next year, all right, make them wait whatever. But to me,
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: the process is bad where those guys are just immediately
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: into the Hall of Fame in year one. I was
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: I'm make doing on a lot of things.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: I was genuinely ignorant to the fact that there's enough
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: people close enough and influential enough to make decisions like
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: this who had like serious distaste for the Patriots and
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: that particular dynasty. I thought that I didn't like it
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: because I got bored with it, and you know, Boston
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: sports fans are insufferable, including my own sister. But I'm
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: like what, I thought that they were kind of like
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: beloved in the NFL circles and apparently not.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: I thought so too. But again, when you listen to
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: the people who have said who have come out public
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: and said we didn't vote for Bill Belichick or Barbarber.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: It's what I said. It's like, oh, well, you know,
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: there's like we can only vote for three guys, and
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: we thought, you know, there's other two were more deserving.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: So I think everyone thinks they're Hall of famers. They
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: just don't think that it was their time to get
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: into the first ballot. And I just disagree that. I
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: just agree. I just agree with that with that mindset,
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: and that's why I think the process. Look, we talked
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: about this with Mike Leach. Where he was he was
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: what one win away for making the College Football Hall
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: of Fame, right, the threshold was sixty percent when he
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: was fifty nine, Yeah, something like that, and obviously he
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: passed away before he could get there, and they changed
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: the rules. You're in. Of course, of course Mike Leach
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: is in. Belichick and Craft will stoke it in. But
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: I think my point is that a process where they
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: don't get it right away, to me is just bad process.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: I think it's just sort of an error by the
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: Hall of Fame voters. I mean, now, whenever Blichick gets
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: talked about, we have to hear that, like you know
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: that that he was at first ball Hall of Fame
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: but it just feels like that's not great for the
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: Hall of Fame to have to hear that all the time. Uh,
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: let me ask you.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: This is based on a recent ESPN mock draft. What
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: is better for someone's career as an offensive lineman being
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: drafted six overall to play for the Browns or twenty
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: seven overall to play for the forty nine ers.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: Oh, the forty nine ers, But I mean, the money
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: is a big difference between seven and twenty six. Now,
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: if you're a good lineman, you're kind of gonna probably
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: get anywhere, to be honest with you, but this is
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: about Fine or Alomo both.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: So the most recent ESPN mock draft was it Matt
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: Miller said, follow it number six to the Browns, not
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: the first tackle take, and he's got mowing Ola from
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: Miami going third overall.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: I think he has to playing guard in the NFL, though,
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: I'm kinite curious if that ends up painting out that
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: way off for No. The Miami kid.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: And then Lomu going twenty seven to the San Francisco
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: forty nine ers, where I mean, I look at that.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: Obviously I love the local connection. That's my favorite team,
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: but also you don't have to play right away because
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: I think Trent Williams has another year or two in
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: him and you can understudy for one of the best to.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: Ever do it. Well, what did he just play right tackle? Maybe? Yeah,
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: I think he just played right tackle. There's no waiting anymore.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: You tra have the first round. You're playing immediately. But
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: you I merely go to a winner, right, and you
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: to a place that's that's stable. Your coach is there forever, right,
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: I mean, Chinahan's going nowhere versus obviously Todd Munkin. It's
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: you just you know how long is he going to
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: be the coach there? And the instability in Cleveland obviously
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: Joe Thomas was there for so many years, but they're
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: just there's so much instability there that I would much
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: rather look. It's easy to sit here and say this
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: for my chair right when it's not my money involved
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: in this. But I think we're finding out Sean more
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: and more now that fit matters like more than maybe
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: anything else.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: Right, And but does it matter more for Lineman because
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: we've seen absolutely like because you know, if you go
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: back and you look at people who've been successful for
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: the Browns in the last twenty years. You can only
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: pick Lineman as examples, so maybe it's not as big
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: of a deal for that position.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: I mean, I think Joe Thomas is gonna be get anywhere, right,
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: But then it comes down to quality of life, right,
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: it comes down to opportunity to win. I mean Joe
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: Thomas I think played in one playoff game maybe, like
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: you know, like those you know this this is gonna
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: you know, going to the Niners, you have a chance
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: to be a winner every year. And that quality of
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: life and the ability to get a second contract like
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: this to me, all it's the reason why you'd write
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: to you want to go to a better organization, and
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: so that that's those are more than just like you know,
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: simple reasons why.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: All right, super Bowl is this weekend. You're not attending
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: the super Bowl right now?
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: I'm going to for a few days for media stuff.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: But yeah I'm going tomorrow morning, but not I have
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: to go to a party.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: So okay, So just so people know the type of
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: personality of Jeff Schwartz, if you have not listened for
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: years when he and I talked to one another, Jeff
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: will go to the super Bowl city to do radio
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: row and to do that kind of stuff and just
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: suffer through the things that everyone else would be like,
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: this is amazing.
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: I get invited.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: I'm walking past tables full of crab legs and shrimp
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: cock tails, and I'm mingling and rubbing elbows with the stars.
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: Jeff hates all of that. Yeah, I was like, you know,
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: I think my flights at five thirty in the morning,
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: and I probably won't get much to my hotel room
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: on Wednesday night, San Francisco until you know, uh at
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: eleven pm, Like I'll be about twenty four hours. It's
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: like that's my at least everything gonna be in the world.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: But my agent like, you gotta go, you gotta you
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: gotta shake hands and see people. And I was like,
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: I mean, whatever you say so to me quick in
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: and out Friday, all right.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: I mean if you felt like it, you could attend
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: the game. But you don't want to.
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: No, I we're getting Meredith decided that she's gonna buy
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: I love what merethis has these ideas. She decided we're
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: gonna do a bix Story World party this year, and
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: she ordered a lasting King crab and bushel of oysters. Okay,
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: I like that, and she wanted to set up a
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: pit to hook the oysters, and I was like, how
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: about no. She's like, I'll buy, I'll buy send.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: Your blocks, but like in your backyard, like burn the
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: grass and haven't fit.
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, She's like she said to me, all uh, she said,
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: I'll uh, I'll go buy the center blocks in the
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: great I'm like, how about no, Like, how about I'll
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: just click on the grill, like, I mean, what's wrong
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: with you? It's just just it's just there's just no
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: explaining that person to anybody whatsoever. We had to talk
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: this weekend. By the way, we were looking forward to
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: when you guys come out here for the uh were
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: I think I think our cousins will. I think our
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: cousin will. What's come also? So we might need four tickets?
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: Said I think, I said, I think Sean could do
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: that for us. I don't know. That's kind of a
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: big ask. But for the I'll get it. I'll get
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: a media credential. Just throw tickets cover the fight for Fox.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: It'll be perfect. Well, we'll get you in for sure.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: All right, let's talk about the game itself. Yeah, look, Seattle,
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: it feels like, you know, the people have been relatively
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: dismissive of the Patriots chances here.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: How do you feel about the matchup?
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: So?
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: I think I have this right Aaron Schatz V football.
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: I think it's now at FTN. But he's a does
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: d v o A. That's his baby, right. He put
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: out an article ranking all the Super Bowl teams, all
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: the Super Bowl teams that ever have played Super Bowl?
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: And uh, where would you? So? I think it's ninety
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: eight teams right this super Bowl sixty. There's my math
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: is not right there? My math is right. He ranked,
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: he ranked all the teams? What what?
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: Uh?
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: Whe're in New England ranked well? I mean, honestually, it's
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: just I think it's from nineteen seventy because he started
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: doing he's all his dvo A numbers only went back
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: to then.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: So there's Super Bowl sixty. There's been one hundred and
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: eighteen teams that have played.
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so it's just it's just ninety six teams and
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: he's able to he's dayed on ninety six teams where
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: they ranked like like ninety, they're eighty one. They're they're
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: here like good for them, but they're not a great team.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: I think Seattle is a much better football team. You know,
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: it's interesting after that after the game last weekend, I
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: think everyone sort of a media was like, oh yeah,
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: Seattle's better, they're gonna win, right, And then with time,
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: because that's what we have, we have time before the game,
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: people start figuring out ways that their team's gonna win.
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: I feel like this week has been a lot of
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: well New England. Like you know, I'm like, no, no,
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: I I'm not believing in New England all of a sudden.
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: I mean I watched a football If I liked Seattle
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: last week, why would I change my opinion? Now? There
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: are ways that the New they can win, and that
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: I think revolves around a lot around Sam Donald just
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: not playing well, right with that sort of pumpkins Sam
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: Donald that we we thought we we got rid of,
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: right because he played so well last week. Unfortunately, Stake Sean,
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: you can't win the game. Oh they're going.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: To who's the most important player in the game, not
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: at the quarterback position before New England.
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: Oh uh, I mean Christian Zalas has to play well
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: and they have to find ways to stop JSN. So
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: that'd probably be the guy I would I would look at.
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: And then Will Campbell their left tackles has to play better. Steke,
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: he's just the young kids hasn't played very well since
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: he came back from injury, and he's you know, it's
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: been a problem with left tackle for them.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: How many guys did you How many guys were you
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: coached by in the NFL that were younger.
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: Than you in your career? Zero?
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: It feels like, I mean Davis Webb, who we covered
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: what he was saying, he's going to be a coordinator, Like.
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: Sean Mannion is a coordinator. I missed him by like
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: two years in college.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: These guys are I mean, Davis web is thirty one
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: years old and he's going to be going to be
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: calling plays for NFL teams like this is I mean,
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: the dynamic is already interesting when you talk about how
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: young college coaches are now, Yeah, you still don't have
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: twenty year olds coaching twenty two year olds. When you're
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: a thirty one year old coaching a thirty five year old,
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: I imagine there is a strangeness to that dynamic.
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: Sem they did it with some of the older RAMS players. Yeah,
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: we're talked about this before. You know, it feels a
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: younger coach's game, right they're able to relate to the
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: players a lot better. Now the players are personality wise
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: just different than right to grow up in a social
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: media era or just different, right. And some of the coaches,
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: an older coach I think, have trouble with that concept.
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: The younger coaches just they just relate better than these players.
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: And you know, younger coaches typically have creative things, creative minds.
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: They have, you know, different ways to attack a defense
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: or offense and that, and they have an energy and
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: a youthfulness that you know, really sort of goes through
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: the whole building. And I get why they're getting the opportunities, right,
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: why not try that? I think, you know, teams are
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: trying to find next Sean McVay, right, the next Kyle Shanahan,
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: who's not you, not young anymore better when he was
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: first hired. Teams just are searching that out.
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: Jeff Schwartz is our guests here on the Sean o'connells.
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: We're talking all things football ahead of the Super Bowl.
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: Coming from Santa Clara, California. Do you know if the
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: Patriots or the Seahawks are using the forty nine ers
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: practice field this week?
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: Uh?
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: One of them? One of the probably have to wright.
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: I think one uses them. We'll use the San Jose State,
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: I think.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: I mean, I wouldn't if I were one of these
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: Super Bowl teams go next to that power station. Uh huh.
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: Of course you would believe in that the Niners have
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: been there for like fifty years.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: But we already talked about this. But it perception is reality.
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: So if you're Jackson Smith and Jigba and you're like,
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: you hear the buzzing of that thing while you're practicing,
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: you never.
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: Know, you do, never know the Niners are setting you
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: up to fail.
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't be the Seahawks. By the way, the Niners
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: would put the Seahawks there.
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: Well, the pigger of the home teams, I think they
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: get the fort Ians facility. My guessuse I think New
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: England is they're wearing they're all whites. It's just not
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: my choice. I'm the home team. That's a bad choice.
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: Why would you wear all white?
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: I am kind of anti all white uniforms most of
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: the time, especially white helmets.
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: I'm not a big fan of white helmets, but I
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: mean the Rosewall helmets were nice.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: Those were cool. They changed my mind a little bit.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: The white youth proud helmets have changed my mind a
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: little bit on that, but in general, I'm not a
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: big fan of white helmets.
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: All white uniforms wo make you look very fat. Maybe
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: that's why I don't like them. If you, if you,
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: I mean that seems to be a concerned for me. Obviously,
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: Am I playing career all white? You look just fat? Dude?
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: Oh it's brutal.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: So since we last talked, there have been more changes
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: in the NFL coaching carousel.
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: Which one has been most noteworthy to you? You know,
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: I'm I'm very curious about Klick Kubiak to the Raiders's
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: sales OC. I think he's got a fabulous job this season.
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: He's a really really good job, and he gets Mendoza,
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: you know, like this is gonna be an interesting, you know,
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: pairing between a guy that we all think Mendoza has
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: the good to be get an NFL quarterback. I do
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: think he's a tattoo corny. I'm kind of curious, like you.
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: Okaed We we talked about this yesterday when we were
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: looking at that mock draft. And I don't know, I've
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: never been in an NFL locker room. I don't know
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: when you're cause like and you're the perfect person to
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: talk to. He is Corny's a great way to put it.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: He is like he's a boy scout. And I don't
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: know if that's important or not to his teammates in
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: the NFL, or if all you care about is how
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: he performs when you know you're between the lines. I
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: a lot of times you see quarterbacks most successful when
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: they are popular with their teammates, when they're relatable with
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: their teammates, when they have chemistry with all their teammates.
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: Is that something that's important in the NFL.
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: So here's my thing about the sort of the corniness, right, Like,
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: when you win, it's great, it's it's like, look at
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: this this guy. He's when you start, when you the
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: people like you're four to nine as a raider. You
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: just lost by seventeen points the Broncos. I think Max
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: Crosby wants to hear like some corny speech you just
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: gave to the media after you lost the game, right, No, No,
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: And that's Molly concerned with Mendoza is like is it real?
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: Is it is it contrived? Is it again? Attacked?
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: Like?
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: What's you know what? What is just this. If it
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: is who he is, it's great. But but I do
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: think like when when you win, it's all the it's
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: that's great, right, all that stuff. When you start losing,
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: man it people people turn on SaaS man to turn
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: on a sass. All right.
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: We have a tradition here on the Sean O'Connell Show,
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: the long standing tradition of assigning experts to cover a
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: particular Olympic sport. Oh yes, yes, which one do you want?
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: You can't have curling.
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: We talked about this before, right, Like I was I was,
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: I think I was on I think I was on
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: beach volleyball one year. Yeah, it was. It was a
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: really tough beat for me. Yes, yes, you watch it.
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: I just I had to watch it. It's it's a
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: bummer when that happens that way.

  Speaker 1: So which winter sport we we've we've given Nordic skiing,
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: so like the cross country you can't have.
• 18:49
