Speaker 7: Relitigate this whole thing, the whole thing, keep Carol, heym different, Oh,
3:13
Speaker 7: I guess uh, completely different coaching staffs and rosters.
3:17
Speaker 6: The stat on John Schneider is wild first GM in
3:21
Speaker 6: NFL history to bring the same franchise to a Super
3:23
Speaker 6: Bowl with a new head coach and not a single
3:25
Speaker 6: player on that roster from when they did it over
3:28
Speaker 6: a you're amazing over a decade ago.
3:30
Speaker 7: And uh, I guess first of all, let's let's been
3:33
Speaker 7: through the sound effects.
3:34
Speaker 2: Hunt, I mean Hunter, Arman. What do you got? Hunter
3:36
Speaker 2: is the guy that yeah enough Arman? Yeah, you you
3:41
Speaker 2: have the mantle. I mean right. But you guys have
3:43
Speaker 2: collaborated on the Challice of Tears, which, by the way.
3:45
Speaker 4: We'll be bringing it back full collaboration.
3:47
Speaker 7: With Challice of Tears was one of our favorites. But
3:50
Speaker 7: what do we have for some Let's say someone wants
3:52
Speaker 7: to present a game ball. Here's this scenario for those
3:54
Speaker 7: who are new to the party. Uh, you're standing in
3:56
Speaker 7: the locker room. It's triumphant. People are around you and
4:00
Speaker 7: whatever sport you envision, right, you know, in the the
4:03
Speaker 7: underwear or towels, and you get to present a game
4:06
Speaker 7: ball for a job well done today on the huddle.
4:08
Speaker 2: This is a game ball. Oh my god, three there
4:13
Speaker 2: it is.
4:13
Speaker 4: So that was the last moment when they decided to
4:15
Speaker 4: run the clock when Seattle fans are there going to
4:17
Speaker 4: the Super Bowl. So there's the game balls there now.
4:19
Speaker 4: But I didn't hit the tone of this just right,
4:21
Speaker 4: You guys can you guys can edit me.
4:23
Speaker 2: You can give me notes as we go on here.
4:24
Speaker 2: I mean I would the tighter the better, but I
4:27
Speaker 2: do like it. That's okay, that's okay.
4:28
Speaker 5: Now.
4:29
Speaker 7: Conversely, if someone needs a performance improvement plan, they need
4:31
Speaker 7: a swift, quick kick to the wavos to give them focus.
4:35
Speaker 7: If someone did you wrong, it could be. It doesn't
4:37
Speaker 7: have to be in sports. It might be if you're
4:39
Speaker 7: investing and someone did you wrong. If you have somebody
4:42
Speaker 7: that you'd like to give a swift kind of like
4:44
Speaker 7: need to the goro and kick to the balls.
4:46
Speaker 2: This is what that sounds like.
4:47
Speaker 3: If you want to this game, you had none to
4:49
Speaker 3: do today.
4:50
Speaker 6: There you go, Chuck Kyles Barkley making fun of NBA
4:54
Speaker 6: fans over the weekend. If you went to this game,
4:55
Speaker 6: you had I did have some other submission, like in
4:58
Speaker 6: my head, I was thinking about this.
4:59
Speaker 4: Of course this morning. I didn't do Nicole Briskell in
5:02
Speaker 4: the snow trying to shovel or jump into the snow,
5:05
Speaker 4: but the audio wasn't as good, so I didn't pick
5:07
Speaker 4: that one. Terry Bradshaw losing his space on the post
5:11
Speaker 4: game show, but I didn't want to be you know,
5:12
Speaker 4: mean to our elders. You know, he totally lost his place.
5:15
Speaker 6: Any any inclusion of Chuck I'm gonna be happy about.
5:18
Speaker 6: You mean, when he started talking about Sam Donald, when
5:20
Speaker 6: they brought back the clip of the first game that
5:23
Speaker 6: Michael Strahan's like, what the heck, I'll play it.
5:27
Speaker 1: Just got to be the guy to correct him.
5:29
Speaker 2: Come out play Sam Donald.
5:30
Speaker 1: It's playing great football for scabble.
5:36
Speaker 2: I mean, he is.
5:38
Speaker 3: We thought we were talking about the first game, but
5:40
Speaker 3: it's okay.
5:42
Speaker 6: The best part is Gronk comes back and says something
5:46
Speaker 6: about Darnald at the end of it. So either they
5:49
Speaker 6: fully are embracing. Hey, Gronk, you're supposed to be terry
5:53
Speaker 6: two point.
5:53
Speaker 7: Zero, so just say something like you're not paying any
5:56
Speaker 7: of that kind of is Like I noticed that too,
5:57
Speaker 7: and I was only half paying attention.
5:59
Speaker 2: But they came back.
6:00
Speaker 7: They came to that halftime show and they're they're playing
6:02
Speaker 7: a highlight and Gronk is voicing the highlight. I'm like,
6:06
Speaker 7: there's a pro broadcaster on that day. Why is Gronk,
6:11
Speaker 7: Why is he bringing reading the highlight?
6:13
Speaker 2: Like, what are we doing?
6:14
Speaker 4: I think they're looking for something to do I've long
6:17
Speaker 4: thought I've been surprised he's still on that day. It's
6:19
Speaker 4: just because I've long thought they envisions being totally different.
6:22
Speaker 2: I don't know the mechanics.
6:23
Speaker 7: But what did you guys think of, like the broadcast
6:25
Speaker 7: quality with We were complaining about the packers when they
6:28
Speaker 7: were on the streaming and they went get.
6:31
Speaker 2: Replays and stuff.
6:32
Speaker 7: But top to bottom, what did you think Because this
6:34
Speaker 7: is the last broadcast of the year for for CBS
6:37
Speaker 7: and Fox because NBC gets the Super Bowl, so they're
6:40
Speaker 7: done now they can put their feet up, have their
6:42
Speaker 7: brother drinks.
6:42
Speaker 2: That was a closing night for them.
6:45
Speaker 7: I always and it's hard for me to say because
6:48
Speaker 7: I know people who are like behind the scenes on
6:51
Speaker 7: the CBS crews, like the top CBS crews, and I
6:54
Speaker 7: love them. But I've always liked Fox's presentation better than CBS's.
6:57
Speaker 7: Maybe it's a bias because from when Fox had the NFC,
7:00
Speaker 7: you know, it's like it's just ingrained, but I've always
7:03
Speaker 7: liked their presentation better.
7:04
Speaker 2: What did you guys like about yesterday? What did you
7:06
Speaker 2: like and dislike about the broadcast?
7:08
Speaker 6: So that would be my first kick to the balls
7:10
Speaker 6: would be the TV director in the CBS truck that
7:13
Speaker 6: had to make the executive decision in the fourth quarter
7:17
Speaker 6: to decide that they were going to put the superimposed
7:19
Speaker 6: graphics of the yard lines and have no idea what
7:22
Speaker 6: we were watching. If you went to this game, right, yeah,
7:27
Speaker 6: I had nothing to do. But now I have no idea.
7:30
Speaker 6: I know where they're at, but I can't see any
7:32
Speaker 6: of the players the superimposing and then the over emphasized
7:37
Speaker 6: yard marker, and then jim NANTZK goes, we're not lying
7:40
Speaker 6: to you, guys, we have no idea where where they
7:42
Speaker 6: are on the field. I'm like, well, give the guy
7:45
Speaker 6: a monitor, because we were getting blasted with where they're
7:48
Speaker 6: at on the field. It was a beautiful aesthetic, but
7:51
Speaker 6: I did feel like at that moment, hey man, just
7:54
Speaker 6: let us bask into it because we're not going to
7:56
Speaker 6: get enough of these weather games anymore. Drew, everybody's going
7:59
Speaker 6: to these domes stay. That might be the last one
8:01
Speaker 6: Denver gets. The Dying Breed And that was a beautiful,
8:04
Speaker 6: beautiful image last night.
8:05
Speaker 2: And all of a sudden, I'm like, get this, get
8:07
Speaker 2: this hologram off my screen, come on, move that up.
8:10
Speaker 2: Moved that out of the way because it's a beautiful,
8:11
Speaker 2: beautiful scene.
8:12
Speaker 4: I appreciate them trying, like there was somebody in the
8:14
Speaker 4: truck or someone that said like, hey, we have we
8:15
Speaker 4: might have a fix for this. We can probably fix this.
8:17
Speaker 4: But it clearly didn't work, so maybe they learned their lesson.
8:19
Speaker 2: They definitely did. They pulled it pretty quickly. They pulled it,
8:22
Speaker 2: so I appreciate the effort.
8:23
Speaker 4: I appreciate them fixing him, like, all right, this didn't work,
8:25
Speaker 4: but it was a good example of how good nance
8:27
Speaker 4: was I thought making it. You know, he did a
8:29
Speaker 4: great job still broadcasting, trying to see what he could
8:31
Speaker 4: making it relatable.
8:32
Speaker 2: That's just my opinion, Tony in the side shair.
8:34
Speaker 4: Now, the whole, the whole Romo Brady thing seems to
8:37
Speaker 4: be a big debate this morning, like who was better
8:39
Speaker 4: Brady's hot it seemed to be improved, and everyone's like,
8:41
Speaker 4: look how much better he is than Romo and all this,
8:43
Speaker 4: so that seems to be an issue.
8:45
Speaker 6: Like I give CBS credit. That wasn't an easy uh
8:49
Speaker 6: uh to deal with all the the white and all
8:51
Speaker 6: the snow and all that.
8:52
Speaker 1: It's not easy to deal with.
8:53
Speaker 6: I remember the fog Bowl when they went to uh
8:55
Speaker 6: sideline cameras once, you know.
8:58
Speaker 2: Cause just because you couldn't see through the fog.
8:59
Speaker 4: This was back in the nineties, but it was just
9:01
Speaker 4: the game itself was terrible, so they had to broadcast
9:04
Speaker 4: the drag of a game like that.
9:05
Speaker 2: I give them credit.
9:06
Speaker 7: Keep them coming eight seven, seven, seven nine four one
9:09
Speaker 7: ninety seven three to the nicolay law dot com talk
9:11
Speaker 7: and text line, it's wild that you know, you talk
9:15
Speaker 7: about the way you feel about the Packers is shaped
9:19
Speaker 7: in some ways by the championship game. And I don't
9:22
Speaker 7: I think the Packers like we remembering what they did
9:25
Speaker 7: when Week thirteen, when they went to Denver or whatever,
9:28
Speaker 7: whatever week it was, Yeah.
9:29
Speaker 6: Week thirteen, right, because they think close on the final
9:31
Speaker 6: four regular season games.
9:33
Speaker 2: I think so.
9:33
Speaker 7: And then so they were ahead in the first half
9:36
Speaker 7: on the road. There tough environment, and that was with
9:38
Speaker 7: bow Necks fifteen fifteen. Okay, they were ahead, they were leading,
9:43
Speaker 7: they were leading the Broncos, and it's like, okay, that's
9:45
Speaker 7: not out of reach. Right in Seattle. They that's good defense.
9:49
Speaker 7: That's a tough place to play. But I think the
9:51
Speaker 7: Packers could hang with Sam Darnold and the idea of
9:54
Speaker 7: people who say and there was a lot of this
9:56
Speaker 7: chirping when the Packers lost to Caleb Williams and the
9:58
Speaker 7: Bears at Jordan Love is you know, it's They'll never
10:01
Speaker 7: win a super Bowl with Jordan Love.
10:02
Speaker 2: He's just not the guy. Kavika and Maui and these people.
10:04
Speaker 1: Those guys.
10:05
Speaker 4: Yeah, not the guy group.
10:07
Speaker 2: Drake May it's taking to his team to the super Bowl.
10:09
Speaker 2: And he completed ten passes for eighty five yards.
10:11
Speaker 3: Yeah.
10:11
Speaker 7: Now, granted it was tough sledding in the in the
10:14
Speaker 7: back end of that game, but that's not usually a
10:16
Speaker 7: stat line that screams let's go to the super Bowl.
10:19
Speaker 6: No, but for eighty five and then when you run
10:22
Speaker 6: for whatever it was seventy yards as well, and you're
10:25
Speaker 6: your team's leading rusher.
10:26
Speaker 7: You know, he willed the team to act five sacks,
10:29
Speaker 7: which isn't great in a big stage, but also rushed
10:31
Speaker 7: for six first outs.
10:33
Speaker 2: H that's great. Is that sustainable?
10:36
Speaker 7: Is that Is that a model you want to No?
10:39
Speaker 7: Not really, but he's done it and they've That's the
10:40
Speaker 7: thing about the Patriots. If they've won different ways and
10:43
Speaker 7: they adapt week to week, they adapt to the opponent.
10:46
Speaker 2: That's I guess Vrabel is uh He's good that way.
10:49
Speaker 6: Yeah, And I like this one from Mike went game
10:51
Speaker 6: ball to Drake May for getting to a Super Bowl
10:53
Speaker 6: before the media darling Caleb Williams.
10:55
Speaker 2: Does oh my god, Yeah, I would agree. And also
11:01
Speaker 2: maybe a kick to the balls for the Bears for
11:03
Speaker 2: doing it again.
11:04
Speaker 3: If you went to this game, you had none to
11:06
Speaker 3: do to thing?
11:07
Speaker 2: Did I do that right?
11:07
Speaker 6: Because I'm I'm not saying, just saying, Kayleb Williams phenomenal throws, beautiful,
11:13
Speaker 6: I think two touchdowns, three touchdowns, the five picks in
11:17
Speaker 6: his playoff ledger on a touchdown interception, the.
11:19
Speaker 2: Ratio and looks good on Saturday night.
11:21
Speaker 6: You know the guys that were taken right after him,
11:25
Speaker 6: one been to an NFC title game in the first
11:29
Speaker 6: rookie to start an NFC title game in like thirty
11:31
Speaker 6: some years. The other in his second year, first year
11:33
Speaker 6: with a new head coach in the Super Bowl.
11:35
Speaker 2: They might have done it again.
11:36
Speaker 6: They might have passed on to one generational guy, one
11:39
Speaker 6: guy that had a beautiful year in Jaden Daniels. I
11:41
Speaker 6: hope he stays healthy. But Drake May dude six five,
11:45
Speaker 6: two twenty. Going into that year, a lot of people
11:48
Speaker 6: thought he could be the number one overall pickture Point.
11:50
Speaker 6: He struggled big time in his final year of college.
11:53
Speaker 6: He went back some people thought for an nil check.
11:56
Speaker 6: He could have gotten a much bigger nil check somewhere else.
11:59
Speaker 6: Carolina wanted to play with Carolina one more time. His
12:02
Speaker 6: brother's also one of the most famous tar heels of
12:04
Speaker 6: all time, and he's just been in this lineage of
12:08
Speaker 6: tremendous athletes that he came into this moment last night
12:12
Speaker 6: and you could see the poise was next level from ten.
12:16
Speaker 6: That was awesome to watch. He was one of my
12:18
Speaker 6: favorite guys in that draft. But quickly you can forget
12:24
Speaker 6: and quickly you can realize that Wait, there were five
12:27
Speaker 6: quarterbacks taken in the twenty eighteen draft. Two of them
12:30
Speaker 6: have won MVPs, one of them multiple, one of them
12:33
Speaker 6: selling I don't know condos in Scottsdale, and the other
12:36
Speaker 6: one's going to the super Bowl on his.
12:38
Speaker 2: Fifth team in his career. It's incredible.
12:40
Speaker 4: Well, and you want to talk about teams in the
12:42
Speaker 4: NFC North that might have a kick to the My
12:44
Speaker 4: kick to the balls this morning is for the Minnesota
12:45
Speaker 4: LA They had to watch that they had to make
12:49
Speaker 4: the decision last season that that what they had was
12:51
Speaker 4: better than that. I mean, the football gods gifted them
12:54
Speaker 4: manna from heaven and they spat in their face and
12:57
Speaker 4: they said, no thanks, we don't want him anymore. We're
12:59
Speaker 4: gonna roll with JJ McCarthy. We don't want Aaron Rodgers.
13:02
Speaker 4: We're gonna roll with JJ McCarthy. So I'm gonna get
13:05
Speaker 4: a big kicking the balls say to the Minnesota Vikings
13:07
Speaker 4: for having to watch what Sam donald and again do
13:10
Speaker 4: it again this year and bring a team to the
13:12
Speaker 4: super Bowl that wasn't them.
13:13
Speaker 2: How good did that feel? I mean, I loved it.
13:16
Speaker 1: I absolutely love it.
13:18
Speaker 7: I was we won't have the double up. I'm gonna
13:20
Speaker 7: give a game ball to Matthew Stafford.
13:23
Speaker 3: Oh my god. Three second.
13:26
Speaker 7: His consolation prize is that he's probably gonna be the MVP.
13:30
Speaker 7: Probably hope so because it's a regular season a war.
13:33
Speaker 7: But in the last they lost, it would have been
13:36
Speaker 7: nice to have that home game. They lost at Seattle
13:38
Speaker 7: twice in the last five weeks.
13:40
Speaker 2: M H.
13:41
Speaker 7: Stafford both games, three hundred and seventy plus pass yards,
13:44
Speaker 7: three plus pass touchdowns.
13:46
Speaker 2: No interceptions. L els Elves and so a.
13:50
Speaker 7: CBS research pointed out that. So twice in just more
13:55
Speaker 7: than a month, Stafford lost games with those stat lions.
13:58
Speaker 7: Tom Brady in his career twenty three years in the
14:01
Speaker 7: NFL never, I'm sorry, lost twice with those with three
14:06
Speaker 7: hundred and seventy pass yards, three touchdowns and zero interceptions.
14:09
Speaker 7: Two losses in twenty three years Stafford two losses five weeks.
14:12
Speaker 6: Well, and I think, and I know there's one person
14:15
Speaker 6: on this panel that will say that it wouldn't be
14:17
Speaker 6: necessarily anything that the quarterback could or could not do.
14:20
Speaker 6: I thought you heard Tom how critical he was at
14:24
Speaker 6: the close of that first half by the Rams. I'm
14:27
Speaker 6: batching the clock and giving Seattle a full whatever it
14:29
Speaker 6: was like a minute, ten minute, twenty Yeah, to go
14:31
Speaker 6: down and score a touchdown and follow up the score
14:35
Speaker 6: that the Rams just got and give them the double
14:38
Speaker 6: up opportunity right out of the break. Like you, it's
14:41
Speaker 6: the really, really critical in game stuff that the Patriots
14:45
Speaker 6: were always so sublime at. And you can I think
14:49
Speaker 6: that's the one piece of the broadcast, part of the
14:51
Speaker 6: first part of the question or the first part of
14:53
Speaker 6: the segment, you can hear Tom allowing himself to be
14:57
Speaker 6: critical of players, but also while saying, man, this is
15:01
Speaker 6: where you could really do this, not just saying wow,
15:05
Speaker 6: Matt and John McVay really botched that at the end
15:07
Speaker 6: of the first half they go to dre ran off
15:10
Speaker 6: forty seconds forced them to take another time out. You
15:12
Speaker 6: wouldn't have been able to go down and score a
15:14
Speaker 6: touchdown with whatever it was nineteen seconds to go. Instead,
15:17
Speaker 6: it's we probably would have tried to do this, and
15:19
Speaker 6: there were a couple of moments last night. We're just
15:22
Speaker 6: not good enough to fully knock out the Seahawks. But
15:26
Speaker 6: also what a difference in the game of inches is
15:28
Speaker 6: if that random two point conversion that gets reviewed with
15:32
Speaker 6: sharbone on in that Thursday night game, this game's in
15:35
Speaker 6: Los Angeles and it might be totally different.
15:37
Speaker 7: Literally, wow, absolutely eight seven seven, seven nine four one
15:41
Speaker 7: ninety seven three. I'm sure everybody thought the same thing.
15:43
Speaker 7: But kick to the Wayvos two Seahawks cornerback Greek Wooling.
15:47
Speaker 4: Oh gosh it did he get one?
15:48
Speaker 2: A one man kick him?
15:51
Speaker 3: If you went to this game you had none to
15:53
Speaker 3: do today.
15:54
Speaker 7: It would have taken the Rams punt returner off the hook.
15:57
Speaker 7: If the Rams had won that game. Because wooln that
15:59
Speaker 7: that's your Toyota turning point. We always thought, right, that
16:03
Speaker 7: could have been a season altering taunting penalty, straight out
16:06
Speaker 7: of the Keishaw Nixon playbook, taunting the Rams bench on
16:10
Speaker 7: what would have a fourth and twelve and then giving
16:12
Speaker 7: them the first down.
16:13
Speaker 2: Go celebrate with your teammates.
16:14
Speaker 7: Yeah, so you give him the first down and then
16:16
Speaker 7: the next play you get torched for a touchdown.
16:19
Speaker 2: That's the sports gods, the football gods, the wall don't lie,
16:21
Speaker 2: crowd instant karma.
16:23
Speaker 1: How are you kidding me? Oh my god, that was.
16:25
Speaker 2: What a sequence.
16:26
Speaker 7: You get a taunting penalty, keep the drive live, and
16:28
Speaker 7: then the next play give up a touchdown, and it's like,
16:30
Speaker 7: oh my god.
16:30
Speaker 2: If they had lost that game, oh.
16:33
Speaker 6: Wow, he would have It would have been hard for
16:35
Speaker 6: him to be on the football team next year. That
16:37
Speaker 6: would have been hard for him to be on the
16:38
Speaker 6: football teams. Convertible like it might be hard for a
16:41
Speaker 6: certain twenty five to be on the football team with
16:42
Speaker 6: some of the still shots that have come out from
16:44
Speaker 6: the Green Bay.
16:45
Speaker 2: And maybe he's not on the football team.
16:47
Speaker 6: Hey, how about a kick to the balls to all
16:49
Speaker 6: those who preemptively have fired up the fire.
16:52
Speaker 1: Gannon change.
16:53
Speaker 3: If you went to this game, you had none to do.
16:56
Speaker 6: Now, Billy, I am not going to come out here
16:58
Speaker 6: and say you have to believe that he will be
17:01
Speaker 6: the reincarnation of Buddy Ryan, right.
17:04
Speaker 2: Yeah, Buddy Ryan forty six.
17:06
Speaker 6: I don't necessarily know that he's gonna walk in here
17:08
Speaker 6: and be Steve Spagnolo and lead a defense for ten
17:12
Speaker 6: plus years and win a couple of Super Bowls. I
17:15
Speaker 6: would love to know why on earth we are meeting
17:19
Speaker 6: whatever and whoever the Higher would be with such venom
17:22
Speaker 6: and disdain. It feels like so preemptively all Packers fans
17:26
Speaker 6: wanted to do is be mad about the Higher.
17:28
Speaker 2: And I just don't get it. Like, whoever it was,
17:30
Speaker 2: whoever it was, it's the Lafleur anger that's going to
17:33
Speaker 2: carry over to this Higher.
17:34
Speaker 7: Because you's why we said and with Leroy that we
17:37
Speaker 7: had the conversation Saturday before all this broke, like the
17:40
Speaker 7: Jim Leonard thing would have made people. That would have
17:42
Speaker 7: made people happier and more forgiving of the Lafleur retention.
17:46
Speaker 7: The anti Lafluur crowd would have been like, oh okay,
17:48
Speaker 7: well at least he's got to Leonard.
17:49
Speaker 6: He's a dog see, And I thought that, and then
17:52
Speaker 6: I all of a sudden course corrected to then they
17:55
Speaker 6: would have been mad to say, well, of course, what
17:57
Speaker 6: are you just trying to make everybody happy by hiring
17:59
Speaker 6: the pack acure?
18:00
Speaker 2: Is this guy really the best guy?
18:04
Speaker 4: It's like people wanted to be angry to matter one
18:05
Speaker 4: about the Packers.
18:06
Speaker 6: It feels like there was just and it year onto
18:10
Speaker 6: it with the Lafleur frustration. Maybe it's just whoever is
18:13
Speaker 6: going to have a g on the sideline and the
18:15
Speaker 6: coaching gear is going to get a side to start
18:18
Speaker 6: and and I get it.
18:19
Speaker 2: Uh the did you take a bus here or an
18:22
Speaker 2: uber or drive here? Clip?
18:23
Speaker 6: Not a great SoundBite. Him potentially knocking the guy in
18:27
Speaker 6: the chest not a great clip. Not all that different
18:30
Speaker 6: from football that we watched fifteen twenty years ago now.
18:33
Speaker 6: But I also think, like you see a defense that
18:37
Speaker 6: he coordinated last when he called the plays in Philadelphia
18:40
Speaker 6: with a front four that was not nearly as top
18:44
Speaker 6: heavy with Micah Parsons on this one, that he is
18:46
Speaker 6: going to be coordinating here, lead that one to seventy
18:49
Speaker 6: sacks and lead the NFL in takedowns of the quarterback.
18:53
Speaker 2: I'm excited to see what he's able to do here.
18:55
Speaker 7: And what was the stat like the about the Arizona
18:59
Speaker 7: defense under Dan and it was like really good in
19:01
Speaker 7: the first three quarters and then bad and the fourth like, oh,
19:03
Speaker 7: he's gonna fit right in.
19:05
Speaker 4: Well they did, but he listened. He was a defensive
19:09
Speaker 4: coordinator for a team that went to the Super Bowl,
19:11
Speaker 4: had a team.
19:11
Speaker 6: That was second in pass defense and league and sacks
19:14
Speaker 6: and fish top ten and back to back ears.
19:16
Speaker 2: That's just it. And the word on the street is
19:19
Speaker 2: that the Eagles wanted him to replace Fangio.
19:21
Speaker 1: Right well, and I know he was in on the
19:24
Speaker 1: Cowboys job as well.
19:26
Speaker 6: And I mean, when you have almost a third of
19:29
Speaker 6: the league changing up their entire staff, you're gonna have
19:32
Speaker 6: a lot of movement. But I also, you know, we'll
19:35
Speaker 6: see how long Jim Leonard is with the Broncos and
19:38
Speaker 6: how quickly he's somewhere else. Maybe for a guy that
19:41
Speaker 6: he used to play for. He's going with Harbaugh.
19:44
Speaker 7: Basically, it's kind of like preordained and he's gonna be
19:46
Speaker 7: great there, right.
19:47
Speaker 6: And if it wasn't for the former Packers or Wisconsin
19:51
Speaker 6: connections with Al Harris and Jim Leonard.
19:55
Speaker 2: Maybe we give it a little bit of reprieve.
19:58
Speaker 6: Maybe we go into it with just a little bit
20:00
Speaker 6: of optimism, But right now it feels like we just
20:02
Speaker 6: want to see does fire.
20:04
Speaker 2: Gannon sound good?
20:05
Speaker 6: Because people miss doing it doing the chant of fire
20:08
Speaker 6: Patton and fire Berry exactly.
20:10
Speaker 2: Gotta have somebody to be mad at.
20:11
Speaker 7: They took it well because the fire of the floor
20:13
Speaker 7: thing didn't work, so we've got to fire somebody.
20:14
Speaker 2: No, doesn't sound good, so they're like, we got to
20:17
Speaker 2: move off that comes back.
20:18
Speaker 7: People are really going to be pissed unless they give
20:20
Speaker 7: him a different title and bringing somebody else to coordinate
20:22
Speaker 7: the specialty.
20:23
Speaker 6: And Nagg's still alluding to I was listening to his
20:26
Speaker 6: breaking news YouTuber yesterday and he was still pretty dead
20:32
Speaker 6: set on the fact that Rich might retire at some
20:34
Speaker 6: particular point. I do believe there's there's a reason we
20:36
Speaker 6: haven't heard any finalizing of the staff. Now we'll figure
20:39
Speaker 6: out who he wants to keep on the assistance. But
20:41
Speaker 6: I still think there might be more to know about
20:43
Speaker 6: three sick people with him for sure. Absolutely.
20:46
Speaker 7: All right, we're off and running on a Monday. It's
20:47
Speaker 7: almost halftime. We go to our halftime Reporter Scott dolphin
20:50

Speaker 2: here we go with the weather again, I said, the
22:21
Speaker 2: only in summer.
22:22
Speaker 6: Yeah, the only problem at Alpine is it's like the

Speaker 6: Saturday Night Special, a great show and a thunderstorm or
22:28
Speaker 6: a tornado.
22:29
Speaker 2: Watch walking out of there at that point of the year.
22:31
Speaker 6: Though not that, Oh that's true. That is a little
22:33
Speaker 6: bit later that. If it was mid July, it would
22:35
Speaker 6: be a little too soupy for that. Yeah, you don't
22:38
Speaker 6: want rain is a good thing that night, Not as
22:40
Speaker 6: much now Alpine. That's when the tow trucks make a
22:42
Speaker 6: lot of money up, not as much. I was there
22:45
Speaker 6: for a Chimmy Buppet show and Saint delis all of
22:47
Speaker 6: a sudden You're like, wait, everyone had pools back here, right,
22:50
Speaker 6: that was the reason why.
22:51
Speaker 2: Oh no, sorry, different reason.
22:52
Speaker 7: We've been focusing on the games yesterday because it's the
22:55
Speaker 7: NFL and it's kind.
22:56
Speaker 2: Of the law around here. But in the huddle.
22:58
Speaker 7: But meanwhile, back among the tire and strip club ads,
23:01
Speaker 7: Badgers shot horribly and lost to US see yesterday and
23:04
Speaker 7: winning streak over that was rough. And then the Bucks
23:07
Speaker 7: didn't play yesterday because of the storms and the they
23:11
Speaker 7: couldn't who was stuck MAVs.
23:12
Speaker 8: Were stuck in Dallas. Yeah, that storm is incredible, that
23:16
Speaker 8: epic proportions.
23:17
Speaker 6: I know.
23:18
Speaker 8: Back to country music, the Grand Ole Opry canceled other
23:21
Speaker 8: than COVID or some catastrophic you know death, this first
23:27
Speaker 8: time they canceled their show in one hundred years. Wow,
23:29
Speaker 8: And it was because of weather and Naville.
23:31
Speaker 2: Yeah, they really aren't prepared down there for but they
23:33
Speaker 2: got it. But they did get a lot. I mean
23:34
Speaker 2: we didn't.
23:35
Speaker 4: We didn't get the precipitation. They we got some lake
23:37
Speaker 4: effects here and we had to deal with that. But
23:39
Speaker 4: the precipitation they got there, it was just.
23:41
Speaker 2: Crazy bat and ice in places like Atlanta was terrible.
23:44
Speaker 8: Yeah, but Wisconsin my god, they shot nine to thirty
23:47
Speaker 8: seven from three bricking.
23:48
Speaker 6: A tough day at the col Center too, when you
23:50
Speaker 6: dropped two to Penn State as well, and Micah Parsons
23:54
Speaker 6: in the crowd in the Penn State sweater, like, yeah,
23:56
Speaker 6: tough weekend all around sports wise.
23:58
Speaker 7: Oh that's true love for yeah Bucks. We have be
24:02
Speaker 7: honest with the calf. He's out four to six weeks.
24:04
Speaker 7: Right before the trading deadline.
24:06
Speaker 8: My daughter and boyfriend had tickets to that game yesterday
24:08
Speaker 8: and good news. Maybe you get to see Yannis play
24:13
Speaker 8: now whenever that game is fair. It's a good, good
24:15
Speaker 8: point we have.
24:16
Speaker 7: They had one, they missed one because of weather in
24:18
Speaker 7: New Orleans and then they had a game here where
24:20
Speaker 7: the heat couldn't get out or the Bucks. Remember they
24:22
Speaker 7: had a couple of delays in the past.
24:24
Speaker 6: There was, but this is this is a different one
24:26
Speaker 6: where like I know on Saturday night, the MAVs were
24:29
Speaker 6: still trying to get out and they were sitting on
24:31
Speaker 6: the tarmac from what I heard, like all day yesterday
24:33
Speaker 6: just trying to get out see if they would have
24:36
Speaker 6: any opportunity to And you know, the NBA postponed a
24:39
Speaker 6: couple other games across the league because of weather, but
24:43
Speaker 6: it is, uh, it adds for a cluster to the
24:46
Speaker 6: late portion of the year, and that Pelicans won I
24:49
Speaker 6: think ended up being I mean kind of like not
24:52
Speaker 6: necessarily as bad for the Brewers, Like it was what
24:54
Speaker 6: nineteen games and seventeen days or whatever they had to
24:56
Speaker 6: do after the Cubs ran out, but they ended up
24:58
Speaker 6: playing like four games and six days or something like
25:00
Speaker 6: that and travel into two or three cities.
25:03
Speaker 2: So it it can quickly mount on you. At the
25:05
Speaker 2: back end of this NBA season.
25:07
Speaker 4: Shocking American airlines sorry Dolphins with a plane up in
25:10
Speaker 4: the air. I just can't believe it. I mean, that's
25:13
Speaker 4: a time, you know, I'm just kidding.
25:15
Speaker 8: You know, in college basketball, they can plain if they
25:17
Speaker 8: have to travel, you know, if they have to play
25:18
Speaker 8: more than two games in a week. But you know,
25:21
Speaker 8: can you imagine if they had to play like an
25:23
Speaker 8: NBA type schedule, your USC Oregon, Washington, imagine mine.
25:31
Speaker 4: God, McK crodon has been so mad at this schedule.
25:33
Speaker 4: But you know what, honestly, it's gotta be tough when
25:36
Speaker 4: you walk.
25:36
Speaker 6: Into a job like that thinking you're going to stay
25:38
Speaker 6: in the West Coast and now you keep flying East
25:40
Speaker 6: every time.
25:40
Speaker 1: Blame the money.
25:41
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, I'm.
25:43
Speaker 8: Sure universities are pocketing all that money because they wanted
25:45
Speaker 8: to be a part of the Big ten.
25:46
Speaker 6: Not only because I got to share a nice moment
25:49
Speaker 6: with him at a great American bagel shop at a
25:52
Speaker 6: final four Eric Musselman, big Mustang, muscle, big Mustand so
25:56
Speaker 6: I'm pulling harder. I wasn't yesterdays, but now them showing
26:01
Speaker 6: off that you can go across a couple of time
26:03
Speaker 6: zone get wins doesn't look very good on Macrona doesn't
26:05
Speaker 6: look very good on Macrona. And that the team rights
26:07
Speaker 6: across town is able to do the exact thing that
26:10
Speaker 6: you bitch and moan.
26:11
Speaker 2: About all year long. Very true.
26:12
Speaker 8: Yeah, and us see a bit battling some injuries too,
26:14
Speaker 8: so they're finally getting fixed on. It's just weird, you
26:16
Speaker 8: don't you feel like you don't really know these teams
26:18
Speaker 8: in basketball when you're coming from the former Pac twelve
26:22
Speaker 8: because we did a lot of watch a lot of
26:24
Speaker 8: ten thirty PM or eleven thirty Eastern time games back here.
26:27
Speaker 7: It's true, so Billy spent his time in Billy is uh.
26:31
Speaker 7: He likes that he likes an occasional shot of shodenfreude.
26:35
Speaker 7: Like you know how everybody here talking about listening to
26:37
Speaker 7: Bears radio after the Bears lose. Yes, of course you
26:40
Speaker 7: got to spin through that because of the reaction. It's
26:42
Speaker 7: so real and visceral, and uh, you know, Packers fans
26:46
Speaker 7: can be quite angry, and there there was a lot
26:48
Speaker 7: of people wanted the fluor fire. There's a lot a
26:50
Speaker 7: lot of dissension on Packers Twitter always. Well, I was
26:53
Speaker 7: just spinning through rams Twitter and the fire McVeigh crowd
26:57
Speaker 7: come right out in force. Fire McVeigh.
27:02
Speaker 2: Just whatever I mean? Get okay?
27:04
Speaker 1: So he won Super Bowl.
27:06
Speaker 7: They won the Super Bowl in twenty twenty one. Then
27:10
Speaker 7: they went five to twelve the following season, and since
27:12
Speaker 7: then he lost to Detroit in the wild card game,
27:15
Speaker 7: lost Philadelphia in the divisional game, and then lost to
27:17
Speaker 7: the Seahawks in the championship game. That's like incremental steps up. Yeah,
27:21
Speaker 7: but it's not enough. He sucks. Get rid of him.
27:23
Speaker 7: We have four minutes left. We should have won this game.
27:25
Speaker 2: How did we lose?
27:25
Speaker 6: There was a time and place in sports history where
27:29
Speaker 6: that was what you were supposed to do, where you
27:31
Speaker 6: were supposed to go up each year and then pay
27:34
Speaker 6: it off by potentially going to the Super Bowl, losing.
27:37
Speaker 2: It, then get linear progress.
27:39
Speaker 7: Oh Man, super Bowl, missed playoffs, made the playoffs, and
27:43
Speaker 7: lost to Detroit in the wildcard game. In twenty three,
27:45
Speaker 7: they also missed the playoffs because Stafford's what neck and
27:48
Speaker 7: back both drains the incremental steps. So it's like, what
27:51
Speaker 7: have you done for me lately? You haven't won a
27:53
Speaker 7: Super Bowl in six years? You stiff, get out of here.
27:56
Speaker 7: You suck when you watch him, and you're like you
27:58
Speaker 7: watch it, like come on really, But it's so it's
28:02
Speaker 7: not just us, it's everywhere, and especially in the NFL.
28:04
Speaker 7: I mean it's not only fans, it's it's it's organizations.
28:08
Speaker 7: If you're the failure after one or two years as
28:10
Speaker 7: a quarterback making emotionals, Russ, Well, that's.
28:13
Speaker 1: A great point, yeah, Sam Donald, But you're.
28:15
Speaker 4: Right, Yeah, it is a little weird, Like you almost
28:18
Speaker 4: think sometimes people want to make want to knowingly make
28:22
Speaker 4: emotional decisions about them, say those things that they know
28:25
Speaker 4: are not like logical, but they say, I want to
28:27
Speaker 4: be able to express my frustration in the most visceral way,
28:30
Speaker 4: which just fire the coach.
28:32
Speaker 2: Now, which is why Dolf.
28:33
Speaker 7: My theory, one of my many sports theories, is that
28:35
Speaker 7: the sweet spot of fandom is between eight and thirteen
28:39
Speaker 7: because then.
28:39
Speaker 2: You're just you're just rooting and you're just a diehard.
28:42
Speaker 7: In Billy's kids, it's the innocence, right, and it's like, oh,
28:44
Speaker 7: we'll get them next year. And it's like, I remember
28:47
Speaker 7: birds being down, they're down eight runs, my dad wants
28:50
Speaker 7: to leave. I'm like, yeah, but they might hit a
28:52
Speaker 7: couple of Grand slams. Sure you have that optimism, right,
28:57
Speaker 7: let's go.
28:57
Speaker 3: And now.
29:00
Speaker 7: When you're between those ages, you don't care about contracts,
29:02
Speaker 7: Like why is everybody worried about Lafleur's contract.
29:04
Speaker 2: You can fire a coach, doesn't count against a cap.
29:06
Speaker 7: If he goes zher and five to start next season,
29:08
Speaker 7: he's gone, Like it's not a lifetime commitment that they
29:11
Speaker 7: made right.
29:11
Speaker 8: Well, and in the NFL, those things can change in
29:13
Speaker 8: the in the blink of an eye when it comes
29:15
Speaker 8: to you know, cap cap space for example, Sure that's
29:18
Speaker 8: just a that's a floating number that they put out there,
29:20
Speaker 8: but a lot of times they work their way around
29:22
Speaker 8: that because in today's NFL, guys leave and every single
29:26
Speaker 8: year you're dropping contracts, you're picking up contracts. It's not
29:28
Speaker 8: like the old days. So yeah, people get so hung
29:32
Speaker 8: up in stats Drew. It's amazing, you know in baseball
29:36
Speaker 8: for example, Well you know what's his whip?
29:40
Speaker 2: What's your whip? I got it whip.
29:43
Speaker 6: I was gonna say, I got a couple of those
29:45
Speaker 6: I picked up with the Mars Sheese Castle told kurs
29:46
Speaker 6: Grimerson to get him on Saturday. But there are and
29:49
Speaker 6: you get fixated on one or two individual numbers. The
29:52
Speaker 6: McVeigh one to me, I'm the hilarious part is he's
29:56
Speaker 6: the only one in that that grouping. It's actually won it,
30:00
Speaker 6: Sean Sean McVay has actually done it. Shanahan's hat's been
30:04
Speaker 6: able to now the Packer. I don't believe mcvay's beating
30:07
Speaker 6: the Packers as the head coach and against Lafleur had
30:09
Speaker 6: the head which is a an oddity. But he's been
30:12
Speaker 6: there now twice. He was the youngest coach, I believe
30:15
Speaker 6: when they go in twenty eighteen, he's still one of
30:17
Speaker 6: the youngest coaches in Yeah, and still you're still hiring
30:20
Speaker 6: guys off of did you have a cup of coffee
30:23
Speaker 6: or any individual run in with Sean McVay and that
30:26
Speaker 6: will be interested in you.
30:27
Speaker 8: You think there was buzz over Harp John Harball leaving
30:29
Speaker 8: in Baltimore. If McVeigh gets fired, he'd be the first
30:32
Speaker 8: guy to go wherever he wanted.
30:34
Speaker 2: Oh good bit.
30:36
Speaker 7: So the uh the carousel with McCarthy going to Pittsburgh,
30:40
Speaker 7: which is fascinating at so many levels. In it, everybody's like,
30:43
Speaker 7: everybody's like, oh, he's gonna he and Aaron gonna take
30:45
Speaker 7: one last run.
30:45
Speaker 2: No he ain't. Aaron's not coming back there.
30:48
Speaker 8: I just love that story when he was here talking about,
30:50
Speaker 8: you know, being a bar back at the Old Man's Bar,
30:52
Speaker 8: born and raised in Steel City and he's he's in
30:54
Speaker 8: there throwing.
30:55
Speaker 2: Five miles from the stadium.
30:56
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, come on, work in the both, I think, right, Yeah.
31:02
Speaker 2: There's an element of Steelers nation that happy. Yes, of course,
31:06
Speaker 2: of course I don't like that too. They don't like it,
31:08
Speaker 2: like what's he done well in this one in a
31:11
Speaker 2: Super Bowl?
31:12
Speaker 6: To me, the part that is similar to to Packers
31:15
Speaker 6: fans where there's like this at one point we used
31:18
Speaker 6: to have standards Steelers fans like this isn't what we've done.
31:22
Speaker 2: All due respect, the guy that hired Mike McCarthy is.
31:25
Speaker 6: A different version of a Rooney family member that hired
31:28
Speaker 6: Mike Tomlin and Bill Cower and Chuck Nole because it's
31:31
Speaker 6: a full generation after it is. Everybody else in the
31:34
Speaker 6: decision process is totally different. You can't just clump them
31:37
Speaker 6: all together because they've done it freak three times.
31:39
Speaker 2: That's freaking insane when you think of what they've done
31:41
Speaker 2: there with free coaches.
31:42
Speaker 4: Yeah, and the funny thing is the Steelers tradition has
31:46
Speaker 4: been hiring guys with a lot less pelts on the wall,
31:48
Speaker 4: less equity, like younger guys that are growing into the job,
31:51
Speaker 4: and then it worked out for twenty some years. But
31:54
Speaker 4: here's McCarthy coming in with a hoisting Lombardi with multiple
31:58
Speaker 4: pelts on the wall, all these different things, and you're
32:00
Speaker 4: upset about that.
32:01
Speaker 2: So there's always gonna be upset.
32:02
Speaker 1: For eight point army.
32:03
Speaker 8: I mean, Chuck Nole was I don't remember his history
32:05
Speaker 8: when he was, but usually Tomlin and uh and and
32:09
Speaker 8: uh Coward were coordinators.
32:11
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, they were assistants, Yeah they were, and that's
32:13
Speaker 2: how they moved up.
32:14
Speaker 8: I remember Bill Howard telling a story where he was
32:16
Speaker 8: the Turk when he was in Cincinnati or Cleveland.
32:19
Speaker 2: Or the guy that bring your coat, bring your playbook,
32:22
Speaker 2: coach wants to see you. He was that bring your playbook.
32:24
Speaker 6: Nothing better than looking at Chuck Knowle's coaching history and
32:28
Speaker 6: when it lines up as the old days, the defensive
32:31
Speaker 6: coordinator and backfield coach. Oh, there you go, backfield coach. Now,
32:35
Speaker 6: some people would wonder, are we talking about running backs
32:37
Speaker 6: as well? We just doing both sides of the paul.
32:38
Speaker 6: Were they flipping every twenty minutes for Indy like they
32:41
Speaker 6: do in high school? Team pictures had maybe eight coaches.
32:43
Speaker 6: Oh squads.
32:45
Speaker 7: The Bucks team pictures from back in the day, it
32:47
Speaker 7: was like one assistant and the trainer who was also
32:49
Speaker 7: the equipment guy, a traveling second Frank, that was the
32:52
Speaker 7: entire traveling party.
32:53
Speaker 2: Now you look at a Bucks.
32:56
Speaker 7: Twenty guys with clipboards, with laptops and bats and quarter.
33:01
Speaker 8: It's the same way in college yesterday, that USC Wisconsin game.
33:04
Speaker 2: I'm looking at the sc bench.
33:05
Speaker 8: There's guys with the zip quarter zips, and then and
33:08
Speaker 8: then the golf shirt guys are behind them, and there's
33:10
Speaker 8: like six of them.
33:12
Speaker 2: All everyone's trying to get an edge.
33:14
Speaker 6: Now, so you get sleeves when you get elevated, I
33:16
Speaker 6: guess so, and not like a patch you just get,
33:18
Speaker 6: you get full sleeves instead of the short ones.
33:20
Speaker 2: I like that.
33:20
Speaker 4: I want to all be a part of the decision
33:23
Speaker 4: what quarters that we wear in today.
33:24
Speaker 2: You know, so you can be important enough to do that.
33:26
Speaker 2: One got to do a big time job for that youth.
33:28
Speaker 7: And you gotta have some arming in you if you're
33:30
Speaker 7: going to be a sports fan, right, you got to
33:32
Speaker 7: be mostly positive. But the first impulse of people is like, well,
33:35
Speaker 7: Gannon sucks.
33:35
Speaker 2: This is a bad hire. The flour should have been fired.
33:37
Speaker 7: Now he's got a guy that and you don't even
33:39
Speaker 7: know like we said, it's like, well, his defenses weren't
33:41
Speaker 7: good in Arizona, per se, like you didn't have good players,
33:45
Speaker 7: but in Philadelphia he went to a Super Bowl as
33:47
Speaker 7: a coordinator. Maybe he's a guy who's ceiling is a coordinator.
33:50
Speaker 2: Which wouldn't be the first guy.
33:52
Speaker 6: Wouldn't be the first guy to have a ceiling as
33:54
Speaker 6: a coordinator, and also wouldn't be the first guy to
33:55
Speaker 6: fail as a head coach in Arizona. Right, Like, if
33:58
Speaker 6: you want to look at common denominators here, all due
34:00
Speaker 6: respect to the Bidwell family, who have been in ownership
34:03
Speaker 6: for a long time. They might be the worst ownership
34:05
Speaker 6: group in football. They charge players out of their paychecks
34:08
Speaker 6: for the meals they eat at the team facility, where
34:12
Speaker 6: you have teams that are paying for multiple meals for
34:14
Speaker 6: a team to go. So like, that's a difficult spot
34:17
Speaker 6: to win, but it's one of thirty two and you're
34:19
Speaker 6: gonna take it.
34:19
Speaker 8: Whenever he is Did they have a championship in there
34:22
Speaker 8: in Chicago or I think lewis that's.
34:24
Speaker 2: A good question. They have some sweet logos. I'll tell
34:27
Speaker 2: you that.
34:27
Speaker 6: Little guy found a YouTube video that went through all
34:30
Speaker 6: the logo lineage of every team in the NFL. The
34:33
Speaker 6: Cardinals used to have a badass looking gourd that was
34:36
Speaker 6: running the ball and hitting you with a heisman.
34:38
Speaker 2: Pope. Oh, I like that. They might want to go
34:39
Speaker 2: back to that one just after I think they moved
34:41
Speaker 2: from Chicago.
34:42
Speaker 7: That is a good question, Army, look that up. They
34:44
Speaker 7: have the Chicago Cardinals slash Saint Louis Cardinals or slash
34:49
Speaker 7: Arizona Cardinals ever won the.
34:51
Speaker 6: Two league championships in nineteen twenty five and nineteen forty.
34:56
Speaker 4: You know they started in Racine that team's I was
35:00
Speaker 4: originally well, actually no, they started first in Morgan Morgan
35:04
Speaker 4: Athletic Club, then the Racine Normals, then the Racine Street Cardinals.
35:08
Speaker 2: I don't thank that. Unless I got the wrong scene,
35:11
Speaker 2: I don't know.
35:11
Speaker 6: That you can do.
35:12
Speaker 2: But yeah, I think you might. I think you might.
35:14
Speaker 2: It might be right. I'm not sure. Racine Avenue. Sorry, sorry,
35:19
Speaker 2: sorry sorry.
35:21
Speaker 6: Scene Avenue is way better. Yeah, going to Waukeshaw beautiful spot.
35:25
Speaker 6: I've driven the Scene Avenue way too many times. Yeah,
35:27
Speaker 6: also known as County Road. Yeah, I love it. I
35:32
Speaker 6: hate that roundabout there. It confuses me.
35:34
Speaker 2: That is a tough one, especially with the big old
35:37
Speaker 2: hills going back and forth.
35:38
Speaker 7: You know, hey, Julie, all due respect to your Carroll
35:41
Speaker 7: University roots, but driving and Walkershaw was always a pain
35:43
Speaker 7: in the ass.
35:43
Speaker 2: All roads like I can see it, I can't get there.
35:46
Speaker 2: This is That's a true story.
35:48
Speaker 8: I got that going to trying to find my first
35:50
Speaker 8: year here get trying to get to a remote on
35:51
Speaker 8: a Saturday morning and I turned. I pulled into a
35:54
Speaker 8: gas station before you know, Siri, and I said, I'm
35:57
Speaker 8: looking for this place.
35:58
Speaker 2: He said, it's right there. You see it, But you
36:00
Speaker 2: can't get there from here. You got to go back
36:02
Speaker 2: and back around. Just what you said. I see it,
36:04
Speaker 2: but I can't get it. But I can't get that.
36:06
Speaker 2: It's a good walking city. It's got a good.
36:08
Speaker 1: Park to walk and lug all.
36:10
Speaker 2: I just know eventually I'm gona end up at Frame
36:12
Speaker 2: Park on the river, right, if I just keep driving.
36:13
Speaker 6: It doesn't matter what I was going to say. Either
36:15
Speaker 6: Frame Park or the courthouse, you'll find one of the time.
36:17
Speaker 6: That's right, all right, So, duff, what's the best story
36:19
Speaker 6: going into the Super Bowl?
36:21
Speaker 7: Is it the Drake May? The Vrabels? Is the Drake Mays?
36:23
Speaker 7: Is it Sam Donald's redemption?
36:25
Speaker 2: What do we got?
36:26
Speaker 8: I think it's Sam Donald's redemption if you had to
36:28
Speaker 8: pick one. Remember when he couldn't win a primetime game,
36:31
Speaker 8: that's the thing about That's the thing. I remember the
36:33
Speaker 8: monographic they put up of Sam Donald. Sam Donald out
36:37
Speaker 8: with mono nucleosis on Monday Football, that poor guy on
36:42
Speaker 8: national television.
36:43
Speaker 2: All right, cool and he was giving up for dead
36:45
Speaker 2: what at least once, if not four times.
36:48
Speaker 4: After seeing seeing those things, that's all that people talk.
36:51
Speaker 2: About, that's right, legendary. And he came back from that.
36:53
Speaker 2: You gotta give a lot of credit man Billy who
36:56
Speaker 2: knew he was going to be good again.
36:57
Speaker 4: Well, thank you for you're all over that Billy two
36:59
Speaker 4: years ago.
37:00
Speaker 2: Appreciate somebody remember that one.
37:01
Speaker 6: So if you worried that the Bears might have done
37:02
Speaker 6: it again, passed on a generational quarterback second years going
37:08
Speaker 6: to the Super Bowl.
37:09
Speaker 2: Yeah, not until now that you mentioned it. Now you
37:11
Speaker 2: know it was forty years ago.
37:13
Speaker 1: Forty years ago today.
37:14
Speaker 8: The Bears won the Super Bowl, the Super Bowl twenty
37:17
Speaker 8: back on January twenty sixth, nineteen eighty six.
37:20
Speaker 4: And that Patriots team might have been more impressive than
37:22
Speaker 4: this one in eighty five.
37:23
Speaker 2: Oh, that Patriots team.
37:24
Speaker 6: Wasn't very and the biggest baby boom the state of
37:26

37:29
Speaker 6: had nothing else to do.
37:30
Speaker 1: Game was over.
37:31
Speaker 8: That Patriots team had Steve Grogan wearing a neckroll like
37:35
Speaker 8: a middle linebacker and he's trying to play quarterback.
37:37
Speaker 2: Such a good look. Talk about great old logos, that
37:39
Speaker 2: old Patriots.
37:40
Speaker 8: Yeah, thousand pill when they break that thing out every
37:44
Speaker 8: once in a while, I see that. And Denver, when
37:46
Speaker 8: they bring those old logos back, I'm thinking why not
37:48
Speaker 8: have them the whole time.
37:50
Speaker 6: I still like the old Patriot uniforms that they played
37:52
Speaker 6: in thirty one with the big old Patriot logos.
37:55
Speaker 2: A good look at.
37:55
Speaker 6: Uniform, great looking uniform now, I mean they just look
