• 0:05

• 0:09
  Speaker 1: special guest on the line. We have Eli Manning here, Eli,
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: good morning, Hey, how are you doing? Now? You know
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: it's DJ Envy and Charlemagne the God and Angela Ride. Now.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: You know you know me, we've done podcasts. You know
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: I'm a Giants fan. And then you know my co
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: host and you know he's a Cowgirl fan. Don't don't
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: don't miss gender my team, Gold Cowboys. No, no, no, no.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: So what I what I wanted to discuss with you
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: is is some some quick football. Of course, the Giants
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: are playing this Saturday. What do you think the Giants
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: need to do to win this game on Saturday? You know,
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: I think they just need to play the way they've
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: been playing the last few weeks, and that's, uh, protecting
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: the football, running the ball, well, Daniel's been playing great
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: control passing game, and uh, you know, just step up
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: in the crimical moment to the game. And so you know,
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: I think that's that's The defense got a big stop
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: last week and in a two minute drill. So you know,
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: I think for the Giants, they want to get it
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: to the fourth quarter, keep it a close game, and
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: find a way to win it in the fourth quarter. Now,
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: as you were setting yourself up for the playoffs, every
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: time that you get one playoff games and even the
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: Super Bowl, what did you do to focus this week out?
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: Because I mean, it's it's pressed, it's I'm sure everybody's
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: calling asking for tickets. So what do you do to
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: make sure that you're locked in? I think you just
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: you know, football players or creatures have happened, and for
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: the last nineteen weeks, basically they've been doing the same
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: thing every single week, and you don't change this week,
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: just get the playoff game. You don't say, hey, I'm
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: gonna work harder this week, or you know, you should
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: have been working the same every week, and so the
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: focus might be a little bit more there just knowing that,
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: you know, the consequences are worse if you if you
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: don't win this game. But I think it's still a
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: matter of going out there being loose. If you, you know,
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: go out to dinner on Friday night with your friends,
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: then go to dinner on Friday night your friends, do
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: the same things you've been doing, your same routine, Because
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: that's gonna keep you comfortable and keep you loose and
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: keep you um just you know, getting you prepared to
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: play your best on Saturday. This week's interested. So you
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: don't game playing from from game to game, like you
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: don't game playing for different teams differently like the game plan,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: but the game do you do that every week? I
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: just think like your routine and so hey, if you
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: if you go in the day after the game and
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: get a massage and watch your film and just keeping
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: that same routine. And so they'll obviously be you'll watch
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: extra film and you know, and sometimes it's a little
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: different with the team you've already played twice, so you
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: know the personnel, you know a lot of their scheme.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: You'll go back and watch, um, you know they played
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: in the last game and the regular season. Obviously a
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: lot of the Giants starters didn't play in Davis Webb
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: is that quarterback. But you can still watch that game,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: watch their scheme and try to find different, you know,
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: new plays that you could do to attack what they
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: what they did you watch the first game you played, Hey,
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: what what went well, what worked, what didn't go what
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: didn't work, and and take from those things and just
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: try to get a great game plan so you can
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: go out there and play fast and and just avoid
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: the bad plays. You know, I wanted to ask you
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: to Eli, man, how many middle fingers are you expecting
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: this week to receive in Philadelphia? Philadelphia's gotta be yeah.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: I don't know what the over under is, um the
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: trouble Birds. I'm I'm trying to figure out what that is.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: I don't know if it's like a thousand, five hundred,
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: I don't, I don't. I don't know. It would be interesting.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: You once said you'd never go to Philly again because
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: how they treated you. I know, I know I thought
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: I never would, and so, uh, it's gonna be interesting.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: I'm bringing my eleven year old daughter with me. I
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: gotta you know, she's gonna learn a little new vocabulary,
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: I feel. And I just think, hey, I've already told her,
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: like whatever you hear or seeing Philadelphia stays in Philadelphia.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: You don't bring that hole. You don't bring that to school.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: You don't even tell mom about it, like you know,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: you just kind of like listen, you'll hear some things
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: and just you know, you got to forget about it
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: once once we leave. And I got to ask you
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: some predictions before you get off the phone. Jaguars, Chiefs.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: Who you think got that one? Well, I think everybody's
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: probably gonna take the Chiefs, just because it's you know,
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes and their record and what they've been able
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: to do. Um. You know, the Jaguars, it's like one
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: of those teams you don't want to let them linger
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: too long. You saw what they did last week. You
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: saw what they diverse the Cowboys later the year. If
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: you if you kind of keep them around, all of
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: a sudden, they got this ability to make these comebacks
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: and stay in the games. So I think the Chiefs,
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: you know, obviously they want to go out and score
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: every time, and you want to get a big lead.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: But I think it's important to try to jump and
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: get a lead on these guys because they have that
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: ability just to to rally towards the end. Bengals, Bills,
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: who do you got? You know? This this is a
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: fun one. Um. I think this is you know, might
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: be the best game of the weekend, just because both
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: these teams are so good, both quarterbacks are playing at
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: such a high level. Um, It's it's tough, you know.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: The Bills I kind of for my AFC team. Earlier
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: in the year, I said the Bills are the team
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: to beat, and I still I still feel that way.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: I think they just, uh, they find ways to win.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: Um joc Allen can look, you know, unbelievable at times
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: and unstoppable. Every once in a while he goes to
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: a few series where he gets a little reckless, but
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: he's still he's able to dial it back again. So
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: I still like the Bills, Cowboys and forty nine is
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: who do you have? Don't be disrespectful, Eli not disrespectful
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: both teams. I mean, obviously, dak Da played outstanding last
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: week and that was that was fun. That was fun
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: to see and see him. I was happy for him
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: to win that playoff game and to play so well.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: A lot of pressure was on him. But you know,
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: there's gonna be a different type of pressure on him
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: this this week because it's the it's the forty nine
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: Ers defense is on the beat, be the ones giving
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: pressure on him. It's not an internal pressure, not a
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: mental pressure. It's a physical pass rush pressure that's gonna
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: be on them. I just think the forty nine defense
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: is it's too good and in their offense. You know,
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: they's got TV playmakers and guys are are playing, are
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: playing hungry, and it's scary right now. I think they're
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: they're they're playing the best football maybe any team in
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: the NFL right now. And of course, so are you
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: saying that they're gonna beat us? Yes, that's the same
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: saying the Cowboys are gonna lose this weekend. I'm saying, Okay, yes,
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: you know, yeah. I just want you to kind of
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: read the language and just see if you could comprehend
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: what I was saying and kind of if you can
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: get your conclusion yourself. You've been wrong before. And lastly,
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: of course, the Giants. What do you think the school
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: is gonna be on that game this weekend? Um, I
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: think it's gonna be. I think it's a tight game,
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: and I think it's it's gonna be twenty four. All right,
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: I'm with you, Eli, hold on, I got one more question.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: You know, I enjoyed a Manning Cast TV program. Eli.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: I really do with you and your brother Peyton. And
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: this is just a random foot ball question because you are,
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: you know, quarterback. I think you should be a first
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: ballot Hall of Famer. So you understand this legend. I
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: just want to know what is it about football that's
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: keeping Tom Brady around? Its football really that fun to play,
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: to be around as long as he's been around forty
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: six next year, you know, I think it's just one
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: of those things. You've been doing it so long, it's
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: just become part of your routine. And you I think
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: that could be a hard thing to say, Well, I'm
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: gonna I'm gonna stop doing these workouts and I'm gonna
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: stop just preparing right now for this upcoming season. And
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: I mean it's just become your life and it can
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: be scary to give that up. It's like, well, what
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: am I gonna do? What am I gonna do to
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: fulfill that competitiveness that I have? And you know, it's
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: not just games, it's practice, it's the preparation, it's the
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: all season just you know, always working towards something. And
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: I think you've got to have a game plan to
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: to you know, attack that and to fulfill that. And
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: so until he you know, kind of knows what that is,
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: I think you want to give up what he knows
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: makes them happy. All right, Well, basically you just said
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: Tom Brady don't have a life. I'll try to football. Well,
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: then you have a two times Super Bowl champion, Eli Manning.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: We appreciate you for joining us, and let's go big blue.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: Let's go Chune, let's go Big Blue. Let's do it.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: Thank you, brother,
