- 4:55Super Bowls, it's a holiday. Everybody is getting ready for
- 4:59an extravaganza as their family friends, show up to parties, get
- 5:04drunk, eat a lot of food and Are supposed to watch a great
- 5:09football game. Well ladies and gentlemen, last
- 5:12night reminds me of a Super Bowl that entered my mind from.
- 5:17I think it was 2018, 2019 with the Patriots and the Rams and
- 5:24wasn't as bad as the Patriots. And Reds, but it wasn't the best
- 5:28one, but we'll get into that. Just a few moments.
- 5:31But I Could parties. And I enjoyed every single year.
- 5:34I want to give a shout out to Mike the beef.
- 5:36Yep. Oh, yours and his family.
- 5:38They're great, great family. They have great.
- 5:41Great parties. I went to Jimbo's house and
- 5:44enjoyed the extravagant. They there got a chance to see a
- 5:47bunch of kids running around screaming, having a good time
- 5:51and I like it. I'm not gonna lie, but when you
- 5:54watching a football game, you're trying to concentrate to make
- 5:56sure they get all the content in your brain.
- 5:58Yet you don't like kids throwing things at you throwing juice
- 6:01boxes at you and you trying to body slam and Russell into the
- 6:05ground, but it was fun. I really appreciate the family
- 6:08for inviting us. I got to see, Jamie Lee Speedy,
- 6:12Jamie Lee was there. I don't know what you're doing
- 6:14over there in the corner. I am posting on Instagram.
- 6:15Oh, what else is new? I mean you should be posting
- 6:18before the show but I can't do without a live feed that doesn't
- 6:20exist. Yeah.
- 6:21Oh that's five minutes to post it.
- 6:23You did not. Anyways, I will say this, the
- 6:27family is great and to get to hang out with people.
- 6:30You don't see every single day. You don't See him throughout the
- 6:33season throughout the year. It's fun to talk football with
- 6:36them. Got a chance to meet, see his
- 6:39cousin, Matt, who loves football loves baseball.
- 6:41Had a lot of conversations about the Yankees and the Yankees
- 6:44offseason. A lot of Yankee guys that were
- 6:47not happy with the Yankees, Acquisitions Bellinger wasn't
- 6:51enough as the Yankee fans would say.
- 6:53But I think there's a lot of a lot of additions, the Yankees
- 6:57added not big names and even bringing Gary Cole back at some
- 7:01point, this season is a big, use component of the Yanks Yankee
- 7:05success, if the Yankees playing to move on and possibly play for
- 7:09a World Series, I'm just saying, but it's cool when you talk to
- 7:12people that actually know what they're talking about Speedy as
- 7:16far as far as Sports and I talked to all time I was
- 7:20mentioning Speedy because I talked to Speedy about offset
- 7:23what we talked about on the show and I like to get other people's
- 7:26takes even when we're not talking about or speaking about
- 7:29it on the show because to me I, I like to.
- 7:34Get the information in and it kind of use it as like a memory
- 7:38bank and I don't use AI like everybody else does.
- 7:42I don't use computer programs like everybody else does to look
- 7:45at analytics or scope it up on Wikipedia.
- 7:48Whatever the hell people, look it up.
- 7:50I don't do that. What I do is I I scan it in my
- 7:54brain. I read a couple of stories, I
- 7:56popped things in my mind from other people's content that they
- 8:00give me some of the feedback and I embedded into my brain and
- 8:04then at some points in some days, I will use that
- 8:08information to bring it out in my own opinion.
- 8:11And that's what's great about interacting with people.
- 8:14That's why I like to go to bars. That's why I like to I used to
- 8:17when I was a kid. I used to hang out at the
- 8:19lunchroom and talk sports and speak sports with some of the
- 8:22kids that maybe about LaCrosse or soccer stuff.
- 8:25I'm I'm gonna show na at the gym and I'm speaking Sports.
- 8:30I am not a big European football fan or soccer And whatever you
- 8:34want to call it, but I watch enough of it.
- 8:37I I always look forward to the World Cup every four years and I
- 8:41was this past week. I was speaking about who's the
- 8:44best soccer player in the country in the world you know.
- 8:47So it's interesting when you hear other people's takes
- 8:50especially people that watch it religiously and then I I get the
- 8:54information and I use it and I embed it into my brain and I
- 8:58kind of get the information. I be able to use it in a
- 9:01conversation, if somebody brings it up a phone call or some of
- 9:05these, some of the fans reach out and they linked me up with
- 9:08direct direct message or direct connect.
- 9:10However, way they, contact me through email, and they asked me
- 9:13what I think about football, European football or soccer, I
- 9:17give you my take, but a lot of the takes I give are really some
- 9:22of the information that people hand to me in conversation.
- 9:24So I do watch your opinion football.
- 9:27I I do watch a lot of MLS games, the Red Bulls who we work with
- 9:31sometimes during the regular season.
- 9:34I'm a Manchester United fan. So I've been watching them since
- 9:37I was a kid. So I I know a little bit more
- 9:40than people think about European football but I'm most likely not
- 9:45as knowledgeable when it comes to that sport.
- 9:49Then a lot of the European fans and English fans that I meet
- 9:54throughout the year. So I want to give a shout out to
- 9:56the people that I met at the sauna over the week, giving me
- 9:59their take about Messi, and Ronaldo, and Neymar, and all the
- 10:03guys that were trying mentee, all these guys that are stars
- 10:09right now, still in the soccer World.
- 10:12So it's fun. Anyways, at 8:45, we will be
- 10:16talking to free agent NFL defensive lineman and defensive
- 10:21tackle. Adam goes just will be joining
- 10:23us out of we met at Super at the Super Bowl last year, Super
- 10:26Bowl, 50 nine. Even Sensational really good to
- 10:29Earth, really good, and kind. And, and I would say One of the
- 10:35more knowledgeable Sports guys and football interviews that
- 10:39I've ever had and he's such a nice guy.
- 10:42He's if I'm not mistaken, he's from Australia, right?
- 10:44Yes he is. He's from Australia, is that
- 10:46little deep accent and very very kind Collective guy and he knows
- 10:50his football. So very interesting to see if
- 10:54Adam was at the Super Bowl this year.
- 10:56So we'll get his take if he was there on what he saw that, he
- 10:59weren't there this year. Well, knit them was there but we
- 11:02didn't get a chance to experience the Super Bowl 60
- 11:06extended. So if he was down like to hear
- 11:09his take and I'm sure he's seen and running around with his blue
- 11:12blazer. You can't miss that thing as its
- 11:14ugliest. Kid be.
- 11:15Oh that's a blue Blazer's brother.
- 11:17Now, the new one? Well I don't know if it's
- 11:19brother, its brother because it's one of the ugliest places
- 11:22I've ever seen. It looks like, I don't know,
- 11:24even know what you call it. It's got these like rainbow
- 11:26color and and I would never wear, okay.
- 11:29I would never go out in public with that place or all the fans
- 11:33that actually go out. in public, with some of the most awkward,
- 11:37you know, Blazers, or I guess coats, he's one of the weirdest
- 11:43people when it comes to You know fashion I don't even know what
- 11:47you call it. He's definitely setting a
- 11:49fashion statement. It's just not a statement that I
- 11:52would be stating when I'm when I'm out there in the public eye
- 11:54just my take but we got to get into Super Bowl 60.
- 11:58It's it's a big story as a Seattle, knocks out.
- 12:03Yes, I mean, knocks out the Patriots at Super Bowl, 60 on
- 12:08Sunday, the Seattle, Seahawks defeated.
- 12:10The New England Patriots, 29 to 13 to win Super Bowl 60, the
- 12:15Seahawks defense completely shut down Drake, Maye and the
- 12:18Patriots offense, not giving up any points until the fourth
- 12:22quarter, bomb to Mac Hollands and a flick to running back
- 12:27reminders. Stevens Stevenson after the game
- 12:30was all ready in hand for Seattle.
- 12:36The Seahawks defense had six sacks tied for second most in
- 12:41Super Bowl history and also forced three turnovers including
- 12:45a pick six in the fourth quarter.
- 12:47When Devin went Witherspoon hit May and defensive and Neosho,
- 12:54caught the ball, and returned it for a touchdown, putting the
- 12:58game Out Of Reach with under five minutes to go.
- 13:01Sam Donald managed the game. Well, against a very tough
- 13:05Patriots defense, including a great performance by Christian
- 13:08Gonzalez, who had three passes deflected and shut down
- 13:12everyone. He faced including Jackson Smith
- 13:16jigba, who also left the game early in the third quarter and
- 13:20miss most of the second half with a possible concussion
- 13:24before returning late, Donald had 202, passing yards and a
- 13:29touchdown but Super Bowl. 60 nvp went to Kenneth Walker the third
- 13:34where he was The real driving force for the Seattle.
- 13:39Seattle Seahawks offense with 135 rushing yards and 161 total
- 13:45yards. Walker is the first running back
- 13:48to be Super Bowl MVP since Terrell Davis.
- 13:52If you don't remember, I remember that year because that
- 13:54was the year that the Broncos knocked out, oh knocked off the
- 13:58New York Jets in the AFC title game when the Jets were up 17
- 14:01and nothing going into the second half but I don't want to
- 14:04bring that up in 1998. Mike, McDonald becomes the
- 14:07second youngest head coach to ever win a Super Bowl at the age
- 14:10of 30 8, and only behind. Sean McVay who was 30 six, Well,
- 14:18ladies and gentlemen, there was a lot that I I kind of
- 14:22discovered in this particular football game.
- 14:25First of all, Drake, Maye has not played well.
- 14:29All playoff long. And going into the playoffs.
- 14:33I said it, I everybody else. Listen to the show knows that I
- 14:37went into the engine out of the Patriots season, how easy their
- 14:40schedule was to get it to the playoffs.
- 14:43They did not win the conference, that went to the Broncos.
- 14:46So the Patriots going into the playoffs.
- 14:49They were 14 and 3. They were one of the hotter
- 14:51teams in the NFL and Drake Maye was up for an MVP.
- 14:54He was the as everybody thought he was the second best
- 14:57quarterback coming out of the season.
- 15:00But Drake, Maye schedule was very, very easy.
- 15:03As it was said the last easy Square schedule.
- 15:07Like, this was about seven years ago, it was 2019.
- 15:10And I think it was the Indianapolis Colts.
- 15:12There were like three teams Thai food.
- 15:13It was the Jaguars and the bills, too.
- 15:15I believe it was as easy of a schedule, as you possibly
- 15:19possibly can have. Now, it is a first year coach
- 15:22over there with the Patriots. Now, not first year in the NFL
- 15:25head coach because he was the head coach for the Tennessee
- 15:27Titans, a successful one, he won coach of the year over there
- 15:30with Tennessee and obviously he won Coach of the Year this year.
- 15:33I have my own take on that a little bit later in the show.
- 15:37But I said going into the game. The guy that I would be betting
- 15:42on is my McDonald's. If you look at the success of
- 15:47Mike McDonald as a defensive coordinator, go look at the
- 15:50Baltimore Ravens. Go look at where they were
- 15:52ranked defensively when he was the head coach of there.
- 15:55I mean, when we, he was the defensive coordinator over there
- 15:57under John Harbaugh. John Harbaugh has not had a
- 16:01defense that good since my Mike McDonald has left and taking the
- 16:05Seattle Seahawks job. When you look at what Mike
- 16:10McDonald has done in such a short time, as a young coach,
- 16:13and as a team leader. Taking on the responsibility to
- 16:18come over here at with the Seattle Seahawks and take over
- 16:21for an all-time great Pete. Carroll who's won two national
- 16:24championships and did win a Super Bowl?
- 16:27Should have won two Super Bowls if he didn't have that bad call,
- 16:30In the Super Bowl where there was an interception on the goal
- 16:34line, well on the five or three yard line, where he should have
- 16:36just handed the ball off the Marshawn Lynch, everybody knows
- 16:39that story. This should have been the third
- 16:41Super Bowl. The Seattle Seahawks have won.
- 16:44In almost 20 years. But it's their second.
- 16:50And it's such a quick fashion with a new quarterback in his
- 16:53first year, Sam darnold, with the Seattle Seahawks, this is a
- 16:57guy that had a lot to prove. And I'm talking about Mike
- 17:01McDonald because Mike McDonald his always been in the shadow.
- 17:05Of all the great defensive Minds that the Baltimore Ravens have
- 17:09had. If you look at the success, the
- 17:12Baltimore Ravens in the in the past has had and defensive
- 17:16coordinator, if the defense of coordinator that became head
- 17:19coaches, including Rex Ryan with the New York Jets, he's always
- 17:22going to be looked at us. Oh well, anybody could have
- 17:24anybody could have played called the defense over there, what the
- 17:28Baltimore Ravens with the talent they've had yearning year out
- 17:33But ever since he left, and he took over with the Seattle,
- 17:36Seahawks the Seattle Seahawks that were falling apart.
- 17:38They're offensive line had so many woes.
- 17:41When Pete Carroll was their quarterback position.
- 17:43Even though Russell Wilson was confident and was an elite
- 17:46quarterback at some points of his career.
- 17:48Had problems with the locker room, didn't get along with
- 17:51teammates as we've heard in the past.
- 17:53How many times have we heard? Richard Sherman go out there and
- 17:56say that Russell Wilson is not a likable person Marshawn, Lynch
- 17:59came out and said that a ton of teammates over the years have
- 18:03said that Russell Wilson wasn't a likable person in a locker
- 18:06room and always thought he was bigger and better than
- 18:09practically every single player on that team.
- 18:11This team was brought together. Through the draft. and through a
- 18:16lot of players in, in their pasts, with different teams that
- 18:22weren't successful I looked at so many guys that have jumped
- 18:28ship from the Cowboys. From the Giants from the Jets,
- 18:33multiple teams from the Patriots.
- 18:35And went to Seattle Seahawks, even some draft stock and draft
- 18:39picks like cross. And Walker.
- 18:44And the Jukebox. It took time for these guys to
- 18:48develop the Jiggler, he's been there a couple of years.
- 18:51He wasn't the number one guy. He was actually behind locket.
- 18:55And the big mouth who's now playing in Pittsburgh.
- 19:00It's been a big problem because Ninjago was always a superstar
- 19:04coming out of Ohio State. He was a high draft pick.
- 19:08He kind of fell in the draft because a lot of people thought
- 19:11he was too small. And his ability to run routes,
- 19:15might not work in the NFL. And a lot of people were wrong.
- 19:21And you needed the right guy to take over for this team.
- 19:24And when Pete Carroll obviously got, let go, they needed to
- 19:28bring in a young energetic personality.
- 19:32That has that ability to control the locker room. and that's what
- 19:37Mike McDonald did this year, you can see the player is followed
- 19:41him and every kind of way even at the end of the game when they
- 19:43won the Super Bowl and dropping that Gatorade, they made sure
- 19:47they were mixing the Gatorade, how many players How many teams
- 19:51have we seen in a past actually? Mix the Gatorade before they
- 19:55pour it on the coach? The Seattle Seahawks.
- 19:58I've never seen that before. They usually just two teammates,
- 20:01pick it up and splashes. They're a unique team and a very
- 20:11young team and have a chance to be a dynasty.
- 20:14Especially in an NFC, that's wide open.
- 20:19And to watch. In the first Super Bowl for a
- 20:23lot of these guys. Deliver the game of their lives
- 20:28and I mean, they absolutely delivered and Meyers we could
- 20:31get into what Myers did in the game.
- 20:33Kicking, five field goals and breaking and NFL record.
- 20:36He was Sensational pisses me off another jet that the Jets
- 20:39decided to Let go and let just obviously sign with Seattle.
- 20:44The Jets have been looking after looking for a kicker for years.
- 20:49Myers was the guy. They let him go to Seattle and
- 20:52then they go after the break, the legs.
- 20:55And now the folk hero every single year, they're finding or
- 20:58trying to find a new kicker. When they had one in Meijer,
- 21:01who's been with Seattle since he's left the Jets.
- 21:05And he played a big part. Because we knew this was going
- 21:08to be a defensive game. You have Sam Donald that's never
- 21:11been in a Super Bowl except as a backup with the 49ers years ago.
- 21:17And you have a Young quarterback in Drake, Maye.
- 21:19He was 22, 23 years old, a little wet behind the ears.
- 21:21No experience playing in a championship game, ever in his
- 21:25career, You have two coaches that never coached here before.
- 21:30So, go into the game, we knew it was gonna be defense against
- 21:34defense, but overall we knew that Seattle Seahawks had the
- 21:39most Talent out of the two. And you could see it early in
- 21:43the game. You saw it early in the game.
- 21:48The Playmakers. Nick.
- 21:50Jukebox digs they couldn't do anything early in the game and I
- 21:54told everybody what was going to happen.
- 21:58Whoever finds the holes, the running game that finds a way to
- 22:03take over is going to win the game.
- 22:06And we knew early that they were going to hand the ball heavily
- 22:10to Walker. And Kenneth Walker did not
- 22:13disappoint. He was 100% healthy throughout
- 22:15the playoffs. He was so Elusive and so
- 22:17explosive all throughout the playoffs including The week
- 22:22before. Well, two weeks before against
- 22:24the Rams. When you have a running back
- 22:27that good and a lot of people questioned Walker when he was
- 22:30drafted in a second round. Some people thought he was
- 22:33drafted a little too high we've seen this before with Seattle.
- 22:35How many running backs have they drafted in the past that have
- 22:38failed. Remember Penny, never accept,
- 22:40really never developed into the player.
- 22:43They thought he was going to be And then they, they drafted
- 22:47sharpen a about a year and a half ago and they've had a good
- 22:51one, two punch and Walker and losing shopping a there was a
- 22:54lot of questions if they can get more elusive with Walker and
- 22:59more explosive, what walking you use him as every every back type
- 23:03of running back and and to me what Walker did set since
- 23:08shopping has gone down, was amazing.
- 23:11He was the the number one offensive option throughout the
- 23:15playoffs. Yes.
- 23:15The Jukebox is a great weapon to have but teams know, the Bulls
- 23:19going to him they they find a way to double team, I put
- 23:23somebody under him say he's under him and you saw that in
- 23:26this game Nick but did not have an explosive game like a lot of
- 23:30people thought he was going to have and that has a lot to do
- 23:32with Christian Gonzalez. We all know how good Christian
- 23:34Gonzalez has been all season long.
- 23:35This guy's an all pro player I think in the next couple years
- 23:39we're going to say that Christian Gonzalez is one of the
- 23:41top three corners in the NFL. If you can stay 100% healthy.
- 23:45Throughout this season. But that was the problem.
- 23:51It early in the game. In the first couple of plays,
- 23:54you saw the Patriots actually could run the ball.
- 23:57Remind J Stevenson was running the ball.
- 23:58They gave the ball a couple of times to Henderson but not
- 24:01enough to understand and I think that was the problem throughout
- 24:04the game. They had a guy like Henderson
- 24:06that can catch the ball in the backfield.
- 24:07He was a weapon. They knew they didn't have a lot
- 24:10of weapons, especially at wide receiver.
- 24:12They had to use those type of. And by the way, booty who Jabba
- 24:17absolutely loves did, absolutely nothing in the game.
- 24:20Absolutely nothing. And that, that's because of the
- 24:24talent and the secondary. And I think that this secondary
- 24:27of the Seattle Seahawks was even better, overall, Then the legion
- 24:33of boom. The young talent that they have.
- 24:36And when the legion boom legion of boom was at its top, Top
- 24:40rated top team top defense in the NFL.
- 24:44These guys were young Kam Chancellor was young Thomas Was
- 24:47Young. Richard Sherman was young, who
- 24:50was the other player Brandon Browner Brandon Browner and it
- 24:52was another one, Jeremy Layne was Jeremy Lane Five of them.
- 24:57Can't Chancellor was probably the oldest one in the secretary
- 25:00didn't play long after they won the Super Bowl.
- 25:04But what I'm saying is, is this is young woman is Young.
- 25:09Eamonn is Young. They have the ability to be this
- 25:14good for the next couple of years and they're under
- 25:17contract. Who's gonna argue that
- 25:21Seattle's? Not going to be the favorite to
- 25:22come out of the NFC again. Next year, they're gonna run it
- 25:25back again, all these players are practically under contract
- 25:29And they got draft stock and they got money to spend in the
- 25:32offseason. And my prayerful had no answers
- 25:37to Walker had no answer to the offensive line that played
- 25:40Sensational. All game long, they practically
- 25:43protected, Sam Donald. How many times did he get
- 25:46sacked? To what Drake was getting your
- 25:50Drake, Maye was getting hit by every clip.
- 25:54Who was hitting him they were getting they were hitting them.
- 25:56All different directions bringing up the safeties, bring
- 25:58it up the corners. It was a great, great play
- 26:04calling game by Mike McDonald and his coaching staff.
- 26:08Sam, Donald didn't have to be great.
- 26:10He really didn't. because what they were doing on the running
- 26:14game in the running game, and how Kenneth Walker was running
- 26:17the ball and using every single part of that offensive line to
- 26:24his disposal. There was no way, the New
- 26:27England Patriots who's one of the best run-stopping teams and
- 26:30all of the NFL. As we heard Fourier, luika
- 26:32saying last week, well, they're the second best but nevertheless
- 26:36top three, they could not stop Kenneth Walker.
- 26:40They could not stop him from quarter to quarter, Kenneth
- 26:44Walker, Kenneth Walker got more confident.
- 26:47And started just finding the seen everywhere on the football
- 26:51field and no matter what was going on defensively with a guy
- 26:56like Gonzalez, who was stopping. He was shutting people down,
- 26:59Jake Paul. How many times did he bought the
- 27:01bowl away from Jackson Smith? Jukebox Who's one of the hardest
- 27:06players to play one-on-one with? Well Christian man.
- 27:09Christian Gonzalez was doing that old single game.
- 27:13And that's what they were trying to shake if she didn't not, if
- 27:15nobody watched the game was moving all over.
- 27:18They moved him in a slot then move them on the outside.
- 27:20They move them on the inside. They tried to do so many things
- 27:23with jukebox and Gonzalez. Didn't have to move to the other
- 27:26field but every single time the bull was going to the Jukebox
- 27:29Gonzalo. Was it Gonzalez was in that
- 27:31realm he was waiting for the ball to go to Jake Paul.
- 27:38And again. It was it was cat and mouse
- 27:41throughout the game and the second half you thought that
- 27:43Mike Vrabel was going to come out with a better game plan.
- 27:46Figure out ways to protect Drake.
- 27:48Maye, maybe use, Drake, Maye, and some running patterns and
- 27:51and what what? More running plays like they did
- 27:54against the Broncos in the snow. And that just didn't happen.
- 28:00And I'll tell you this Seattle had such a great game plan
- 28:03though. What they did was they most of
- 28:05the time except probably later in the third quarter, in the
- 28:08fourth quarter, they kept Drake Maye in the pocket.
- 28:11They believed that. If he could keep him in the
- 28:13pocket Drake, Maye was not gonna beat them on the outside.
- 28:16They were he was not gonna overpower their secondary or
- 28:21their linebackers. And like I said, Hunter Henry
- 28:24had to play dividends to this team, especially the problem
- 28:28with Seattle had all season long.
- 28:30It's stopping tight ends. Haunted Henry, barely got used
- 28:33to the fourth quarter. When they was over.
- 28:39So you you look at the ends in the outs of this game and I'll
- 28:43go back to Drake man, I'm not taking shots at the kid.
- 28:45I was talking to the Beast father and I said everybody
- 28:48keeps talking about Drake man. How great he was all season
- 28:50long? Who did he beat?
- 28:53And then you see them in the playoffs.
- 28:54He probably had the worst playoff front to the Super Bowl
- 28:58we've ever seen a quarterback have and MVP candidate have.
- 29:02Did you ever see Patrick Mahomes at at any point of his career as
- 29:06an MVP candidate? Slowly.
- 29:09But surely back into the Super Bowl.
- 29:11We never saw that. Jalen hurts, do that never Joe
- 29:17burrow never Matthew Stafford. Never And I'm gonna say this,
- 29:22he's still young and the Patriots are young team.
- 29:25No question that they are, but the Patriots got to go into the
- 29:28offseason wondering. Where do they go at wide
- 29:31receiver? Don't they, they're not very
- 29:33good at drafting him as we all know in the past.
- 29:37And if they think that booty is the guy, he's their go-to guy
- 29:40next year. That's that's ridiculous too.
- 29:43They had jakobi Meyers. They could have signed him.
- 29:48Myers was better than dicks. Oh yeah.
- 29:51He's better than any one of the guys that they had on that
- 29:53roster. and again that's not my argument that the Patriots
- 29:59couldn't do anything, but they were out coached and by the way,
- 30:06I got a bone to pick with the NFL committee on why they
- 30:10decided to go with Mike, Vrabel, Mike McDonald as the coach and
- 30:14coach of the year. When while we saw at Super, I
- 30:17said speedy and we were talking off air.
- 30:19I said we're gonna see who really was the coach and
- 30:23assistant coach of the year because what we saw on the
- 30:26Seattle, Seahawks Sidelines was complete dominance.
- 30:30Complete dominance throughout the game.
- 30:33The play calling, even a defensive side of the ball, the
- 30:37way they were disguising their safeties and their Blitz
- 30:39packages was sensational. It really was.
- 30:45And even at the end of the game, Mike McDonald was not giving him
- 30:48any freebies. He made sure that they were
- 30:51getting to get a freebie in the end zone.
- 30:55That says a lot about him as a coach.
- 30:58Even that when they went for the two-point conversion, when Mom,
- 31:01when they scored their first touchdown and Mike Rabel, put
- 31:03his hands up to, to points as it good luck.
- 31:09I think what Mike McDonald has brought to the table for the
- 31:12Seattle Seahawks, and I want to give a shout out to Schneider,
- 31:14who's been as good of a GM as anybody we've seen in the last
- 31:18past 20 years. The success and the transition
- 31:24from quarterback. Remember he drafted Russell
- 31:26Wilson And over the years they've tried to make moves and
- 31:31draft quarterbacks in the later rounds and he's failed to find
- 31:35them. Quarterbacks are not easy to
- 31:36find in the draft. But he's the one who took a
- 31:40flyer on Sam Donald say, whatever you want.
- 31:42He took a flyer on him, he gave him the three-year 100 million
- 31:45dollar contract, Minnesota, didn't And I'm sure Minnesota is
- 31:50punching and backhanding myself in the face.
- 31:52After watching what, Sam Donald did throughout the playoffs.
- 31:57So it to me. You look at the coaching staff.
- 32:04You look at ownership trusting in Schneider to rebuilding his
- 32:08team. And how this team came together.
- 32:12Throughout the season in the hardest division in football.
- 32:16When you have to play San Francisco twice, the Rams twice,
- 32:20Arizona was not easy this year, they had a very good defense.
- 32:25when you got to go through those type of teams all season long,
- 32:29when the coaches, Know each other just as well as anybody
- 32:34and to play as well as they did through.
- 32:38The opposing talent that they had to play through in the NFC.
- 32:43Think about it. They were 14 and 3.
- 32:45They didn't lose. They lost three games the whole
- 32:47season. The whole season and those three
- 32:51games were Wiggle Games. They never got beaten down.
- 32:55Once this year, Never. Even when Sam Donald threw that
- 33:00free interceptions against the Rams, that game was closed.
- 33:06That's coaching guys. When you talk about a young
- 33:10coach, who's 37 years old still wet behind the ears hasn't even
- 33:15hit his full stride. Everybody keeps talking about
- 33:17how how great John Harbaugh was. How long did it take John
- 33:21Harbaugh to win his first Super Bowl?
- 33:25Think about that. And it wasn't even his team.
- 33:27This is Mike McDonald, Steve. He helped put this team.
- 33:32He designed this team to gather that's what's making this story
- 33:40even more impressive. It only time we'll see or tell.
- 33:48Where the Seattle Seahawks are going to be compared to as the
- 33:52great teams of this era. But, I'm gonna tell you right
- 33:55now. Where Devin Witherspoon and
- 33:59Woolen. E-man all that all everybody.
- 34:02Every single hole, all these young, no OSU.
- 34:07Cross everyone. There's so many young players on
- 34:10his team Walker is still. I know he's he's a running back
- 34:14and you know they don't last that long in the NFL.
- 34:15What's he 27? 28 years old.
- 34:17Yeah he's on. He had to sign him this year
- 34:19because he's at the end of his son.
- 34:21Yep. They have to now cuz sharpen as
- 34:22heard he's 27 years old. He's in the prime of his career.
- 34:29I think that Seattle has a chance.
- 34:30Not only to repeat. They could be a dynasty in the
- 34:35NFL. Especially how bad the AFC is
- 34:38these really, really bad. I know going into the offseason.
- 34:42You expect Patrick homes to come back with a full recovery.
- 34:45You expect to charge us to be better, or do we, I mean,
- 34:48Baltimore has a new coach. The Bengals are really on the
- 34:51hot seat. With Joe burrow Pittsburgh has a
- 34:54new coach Buffalo, has a new coach, Miami has a new coach
- 34:59that Jets have a second year. Coach the Patriots have a second
- 35:03year coach. I mean, the AFC is withdrawn Who
- 35:08you have to worry about. Sean Payton.
- 35:11And it's Sean. Payton is going to trust and in
- 35:13their backup quarterback. Once again this year of Bo Nix
- 35:15goes goes down again, they're gonna go down just as quick.
- 35:18And I will tell you this right now, the Broncos did not look
- 35:21good even though they were 14 and 3, they were the best team
- 35:23in the AFC. They were up and down all season
- 35:26long, they should have lost seven or eight games.
- 35:28They got lucky. Every single game.
- 35:33Seattle won this year. When, when they were winning,
- 35:36they were dominating those games.
- 35:38They weren't even close. And that's what the Super Bowl
- 35:42was. It wasn't even close.
- 35:45Yeah, there's a lot of things that you could look at the game
- 35:48plan for that. Definitely showed that McDonald
- 35:50was the better coach in this game by a long shot.
- 35:52You talk about the comparison of the defenses.
- 35:54This legion of boom, versus this defense is very different.
- 35:57Now, they both played a lot of Zone.
- 35:58They played a lot of Jeff was saying, last week, a lot of
- 36:00cover, six, a lot of cover for Concepts, but they had not
- 36:04Defenders that are in one spot like they were playing Earl,
- 36:07Thomas. Generally say in the same spot,
- 36:08Richard Sherman generally stayed in the same spot in that legion
- 36:11of boom defense. Devon Witherspoon, does not
- 36:13saying the same spot. He was blitzing in all three of
- 36:16his sacks in three different spots covering guys, and all
- 36:18three different spots all across the field.
- 36:20Emin woori play, can play a box safety, he could play back in
- 36:24coverage and if they played him in the Box, they rotate a
- 36:27linebacker to go back and Earnest Jones or one of their
- 36:30other. Rotational guys, to play a deep
- 36:32Zone, we're confused Drake, Maye and Confused.
- 36:35Josh, McDaniels all game, long, and same kind of thing with the
- 36:38pass rushers too. You talk about Noah Sue.
- 36:41Derek Hall was a third rotation guy, but they put him in all
- 36:43different spots in the line. They put Leonard Williams
- 36:45outside sometimes and they still got really good interior
- 36:49pressure away. This is a much more creative
- 36:50defense overall than what Pete Carroll High with the legion of
- 36:54boom, just on the scheme Concepts and you talked about
- 36:56they have a lot of guys that are free agents too coming over from
- 36:59other teams like the defense was a lot of like missing pieces
- 37:03from obviously the Giants. And the Jets the Ernest Jones
- 37:06came from the Rams. What was the Chargers teams like
- 37:08that? Whereas the offense is kind of
- 37:10the opposite where you had a lot of outside of Donald.
- 37:12You have a lot of the Homegrown guys on the offensive side and
- 37:14it's really impressive. The type of Team Seattle was
- 37:16able to put together because usually those types of teams
- 37:18that are built in free agency. That's why I wasn't as high on
- 37:20them this year at the beginning of the year, they usually take
- 37:23two or three years to get going, they were talented.
- 37:25They were high dvo 18. There's a reason a lot of people
- 37:27thought him as a playoff team but they all did work right
- 37:30away. His extremely impressive and
- 37:31then on the Patriots side, yeah Mike.
- 37:33Vrabel did not look like a coach of the year finalists in that
- 37:36game. Well, think about this Speedy
- 37:37before the season started. I think there were The plus
- 37:423,000 for both these teams altogether was like almost like
- 37:466,000 or 7,000. That both these teams are going
- 37:48to the Super Bowl. Yeah.
- 37:49The Patriots were going to be the biggest long shots since the
- 37:51Rams in 99. And then the Seahawks.
- 37:55Yeah, we're not far behind that either.
- 37:56It was definitely a big combined.
- 37:57I mean, if you bet on them early in the season you probably won
- 38:01yourself a lot of money. And and the fact here is, it's
- 38:04very, very impressive for both coaches to make that run,
- 38:07especially in the AFC. I like again, if Buffalo was in
- 38:11the Super Bowl, I think Josh Allen would have gave an given
- 38:14that that game a little bit more of a better matchup because I
- 38:17think Josh Allen if his back was against the wall he was gonna
- 38:20air the ball out. He would use his legs Drake.
- 38:22Make got scared early in the game and he should be because
- 38:25the offensive line a young offensive line was getting
- 38:28dominated. They were getting dominated the
- 38:30whole game. And and even when they were
- 38:33trying to keep the, the line closed and and even when they
- 38:36were trying to shift and try to throw the ball, they couldn't
- 38:39pass block, they were using so many different schemes and Blitz
- 38:43packages. How many times did we see
- 38:45Witherspoon? Get in on a blitz pack?
- 38:47He was to Walker. Went off in the second half, he
- 38:49was on track for Envy page. He was all over the place, it
- 38:52was unbelievable and, and they were attacking Julian, love the
- 38:55whole game. Yeah, the whole game and that
- 38:57cost him. That cost him in the fourth
- 38:59quarter, when they were trying to, he was trying to force the
- 39:02ball, up the middle and and Julian love intercepted the
- 39:05ball. But they kept all game long
- 39:08attacking him because he was the weakest.
- 39:10I at that corner position and they were moving in the slot
- 39:13many, many times and the whole game early in the game they were
- 39:17attacking. It was a working and that all of
- 39:19a sudden I think Julian love in the second half kind of got
- 39:22comfortable and eventually position himself, right?
- 39:25And he made some big plays a lot of big plays.
- 39:28Yeah. A lot of Zone coverage.
- 39:30I think he was better and they were trying to get him.
- 39:32By the way, that was the next giant.
- 39:33Yes, I know I just wanted to Williams and Julian love was
- 39:36missing. Some tackles in Space, the
- 39:38Patriots did a good job. Putting either Stevenson or
- 39:40Henderson catching the ball in space and they were exposing
- 39:42him. But then Mike McDonald adjusted
- 39:43and they put him either as a serving as like a middle,
- 39:46linebacker a lurking safety or a deep Zone and he played a lot
- 39:49better. Obviously got an interception in
- 39:50that game. I want to go back to what we
- 39:51were saying though with with the Patriots in their offensive
- 39:53line. They were struggling all post
- 39:54season long. It was a big reason why they're
- 39:56offense was really not the same granted they faced him really
- 39:57good. Pastries with the Texans and the
- 39:59Broncos, but still the Patriots offense of line, got badly out
- 40:02matching. This is the biggest thing.
- 40:03I'll criticize Drake, Maye for is, I don't think you saw it.
- 40:05Just meant to his Blitz reads, either.
- 40:07It looked a lot like Daniel Jones in the beginning, he had
- 40:10problems against the Broncos. And again, it was snowing and it
- 40:14was a different kind of whether it was very windy, it was
- 40:17beautiful out and San Francisco. I think the weather was like,
- 40:1960, something degrees. So it was great weather to play
- 40:22football but that's not an excuse again.
- 40:25I'm gonna go back and forth with what we sold Drake May and early
- 40:29or early in the season to later in the season.
- 40:32As the season progressed and this team, the Patriots started
- 40:35playing better talent and more exclusive top.
- 40:39And teams Drake Maye was not as good as he was against those
- 40:43wheat teams, like the Browns, like the Bangles, like the Jets
- 40:47even early in the season against the Jaguars.
- 40:50They he did not look good even in game number one, when they
- 40:53played the Raiders, remember they played the Raiders in the
- 40:55first game of the season. They lost that game in Las Vegas
- 40:58and people were questioning the Patriots and how bad they looked
- 41:02throughout the, you know, throughout that first game of
- 41:04the season but things started to slow down for Drake Maye and he
- 41:09looked more confident as a quarterback and was up for an
- 41:12MVP. But I'm gonna tell you this
- 41:13right now, if you look at his schedule next year, against all
- 41:15the number ones and they were posting up, do you think they
- 41:18were a lot of people saying? Do you think the Patriots are a
- 41:21playoff team are contending team next year?
- 41:23My answer would be no if Drake Nate plays against contending
- 41:27Talent like he did this year, there's no way this team.
- 41:32Goes to the playoffs. Yeah, no way.
- 41:33Yeah. And yeah, I don't have this
- 41:35numbers and I'm gonna find. I'm gonna look up his numbers
- 41:37against the the elite of the elite teams teams that were
- 41:41playoff or borderline playoff teams.
- 41:43I bet you. They weren't good.
- 41:44Yeah, these pre-snap reads, I don't think we're very good with
- 41:46even judging for the blitz. You can only do so much against
- 41:48Seattle's pass as it was. They're offensive line was
- 41:50playing banged up. They got out match.
- 41:52You says on the interior Rush too Seattle, had a lot of
- 41:55trouble, but I think the difference was Drake, may not
- 41:57read those Blitz pickups very well, where Sam darnold, Sam
- 42:00darnold, got a lot of pressure on the inside.
- 42:02They were saying, like Milton Williams probably should have
- 42:04had four sacks in that game. He was getting a lot of pressure
- 42:06on the interior. He had two sacks last year with
- 42:08the Eagles when they won the Super Bowl and played very well
- 42:10in that game too. But Sam darnold's quick
- 42:12adjustment game was a lot better on those interior rushes and
- 42:15Drake mace was and I don't think like you were saying before, I
- 42:17don't think my gravel compensated for the biggest
- 42:19things they had to do. And Josh, McDaniels designed
- 42:21runs for Drake Made for one thing, he had 37 yards.
- 42:24Rushing, like maybe design more runs for him and maybe that gets
- 42:27more pressure and makes Seattle overthink their defense game
- 42:30plan, and then they might be holes for them.
- 42:31And then use the tight ends. They didn't do that enough,
- 42:33either and Stevenson And barely any volume in the second half,
- 42:37like, it's one thing that, yeah, he's gonna have a tough time
- 42:39running against the top top five Rush defense.
- 42:42He had trouble statistically last week against the Broncos
- 42:45too, but still the very well the second efforts, like, where is
- 42:47that in their game? They just went away from it and
- 42:49I just think. Yeah, Mike variable and Josh,
- 42:51McDaniels definitely be scratching their heads a lot
- 42:53with that offensive game plan. So I was gonna go, but we gotta
- 42:56joined by a job. But what's up, man?
- 42:57What's going on? No, it's been a whirlwind, man,
- 43:00it's getting things done. Obviously, we had opening
- 43:04weekend with Carter and now my my husband's their last
- 43:08scrimmage today and I was talking to pitching coaching,
- 43:10he's like, come on, get down here and I'm like, all right,
- 43:12well, When it's all calls. So get them off to Arizona.
- 43:18Actually their first game is on MLB Network so that'll be cool
- 43:21for the boys. But yeah, you were talking about
- 43:25Drake Maye though, like in 37 yards but legitimately it came
- 43:29like most of it came on that one when he actually read and used
- 43:34his legs. And it just and I was driving
- 43:37for three quarters. So I was listening more so than
- 43:41I was watching. And so it's, it's interesting.
- 43:46Hearing it. Instead of seeing it.
- 43:50And that's kind of. A different anomaly for me
- 43:54because it took me back old school.
- 43:55And like I was with my dad in the car and we were listening
- 43:58like baseball games. And it makes you like love the
- 44:02game. And the atmosphere that they
- 44:05create when people are listening to a game but honestly like it
- 44:10was tough to listen to because there was no excitement like
- 44:13there was nothing to it where because I Hate to admit this.
- 44:18But I did have it on the iPad and it was on but I had serious
- 44:22example on the radio. That's what radio is for is like
- 44:25excitement and whatever. And like I said, I didn't get a
- 44:27watch it for three quarters. And then I got to watch the last
- 44:32last quarter. Java, you didn't miss anything.
- 44:34You didn't have a book but yeah from the sounds of it, it
- 44:39doesn't sound like I did. But it was. just like looking at
- 44:44the stats and stuff this morning and reading over all the notes
- 44:47that the NFL sent over and it just it seemed like it was very
- 44:52mundane and just kind of just in like, As the commercial that
- 44:58showed up me. well, I will say this and I Marshals, the
- 45:02commercials are a pathetic and I heard that the commercials were
- 45:05even more than they have been over the last couple years.
- 45:08I think a Mini commercial cost almost 10 million dollars. 30
- 45:12minute commercials were about eight and a half million
- 45:14dollars. It's ridiculous.
- 45:15What, obviously, the sponsors and these advertisers are
- 45:19willing to go out there and pay for some of them were cool.
- 45:23I'm not gonna lie, I like the cheers one with all the
- 45:26different sitcoms they will go together.
- 45:28What did they call that something Duncan or something?
- 45:31Good will Goodwill something. Yeah.
- 45:33Good will Dunkin. Yeah.
- 45:34That was cool. That was in it.
- 45:37So it was cool. It was funny.
- 45:39Yeah. So yeah, they're giving away
- 45:41free coffee. You enter that in.
- 45:43I got my free coffee from them. Yeah.
- 45:45So that was cool. I mean, the commercials were
- 45:48interesting if you didn't see the commercials, they have a
- 45:49whole you go on YouTube, they'll put it all.
- 45:52They put it. Like, what?
- 45:53They call that a montage together where you can watch one
- 45:57at a time or put them all together, they put them all
- 46:00together as a montage but It was the Super Bowl wasn't something
- 46:04that really was something to remember.
- 46:06And a lot of people would say it was one of the more boring Super
- 46:09Bowls and the last one we can remember that was as boring was
- 46:12the Super Bowl with the Rams in the Patriots, where there was no
- 46:15offense him and more people. And I was watching the game with
- 46:18a bunch of people. They said we're rooting for the
- 46:20Patriots because we want to see this game.
- 46:22Get a little bit closer, so they're back to get so.
- 46:25Well, I'll say this, if the Patriots came back in this game
- 46:27or it was even closer, I'd be scared.
- 46:29Because we've seen this before the Patriots, get back in the
- 46:32game and they pull off some of the most amazing throws and
- 46:36amazing catches that changed the pace of the game and and that's
- 46:40what happens. All it takes is a charge of that
- 46:43part of the game, it's special in the fourth quarter.
- 46:45Because we saw, and I after that pick six, I thought that game
- 46:49was over and then Drake makeup, move the ball down the field.
- 46:52And, and then Mike McDonald was yelling at his team.
- 46:55He was yelling at the players on the defensive side of the Bulls
- 46:58saying it's not over, it's not over, you could read his lips,
- 47:00It's Not Over. For this is not going to be,
- 47:02we're not going to make this easy for them but because again
- 47:05the onside kicks and anything can happen in the super.
- 47:09Anything could happen in football.
- 47:10So I unfortunately it wasn't one of those games that you're gonna
- 47:14remember offensively, but the dominance of the Seattle
- 47:18defense, I'm telling you right now this is better than the
- 47:20Seattle Seahawks defense was when they won the Super Bowl
- 47:23against the Broncos against that offense.
- 47:25Yeah, I know that that that that that offense, that Broncos
- 47:29offense is one of the greatest offenses of all time.
- 47:32And this Patriot offense was not, but the way they dominated
- 47:35the ball defensively was amazing and, and the different packages
- 47:40that. And by the way, they were
- 47:42packages, they were using in this game.
- 47:43They haven't used all season long and that's to me that shows
- 47:47you how good, and how talented of a coach Mike McDonald has
- 47:51been all season long and how he drew it up to beat McDaniel
- 47:56McDaniel has been The Mastermind of this offense all season long
- 47:59and he's always been That guy that is going to find a way to
- 48:04beat teams and beat great defenses.
- 48:06Well, he didn't find a way to beat this great defense in Super
- 48:10Bowl, 60. And that says, a lot about what
- 48:12McDonald's has done and what I believe he should have won at
- 48:17the award show. And that is coach of the year,
- 48:19including Mr. Cleanup, who's going to be the new head coach
- 48:23of the Las Vegas? Raiders?
- 48:25Yeah, Drake Maye, I think the moment that ended I think for
- 48:27him was the the interception after the Patriots got to stop
- 48:30on defense. It was 19 to 7 after the big
- 48:32plate of Mack Hollins, Patriots. Got a quick three and out after
- 48:34that, and then Drake, Maye hit a big play downfield.
- 48:36I think it was Hollands again and then he throws an
- 48:39interception right after that, the one that threw right at
- 48:41Juliet. I think that was the Big Bear.
- 48:43Do you think he under threw that ball?
- 48:45Do you think he kept running through the route?
- 48:47Yeah, he on her throw. He definitely he forced the
- 48:49ball. He forced the, he he was
- 48:52completely shook. By that point in the game, it
- 48:55was bad. It was Ill.
- 48:57You said the Rams game. I'm going to go back to the won,
- 49:00the Seattle. A Peyton Manning and the
- 49:03Broncos. When they won, that 112 years
- 49:05ago, they just destroyed them. It wasn't close at all.
- 49:09Now this score the score is closer here, but I mean, let's
- 49:12face it. This game was 29 to 7, you know,
- 49:15like this game was over on a pick six.
- 49:18I don't they're calling it a pick six because the ball didn't
- 49:20hit the ground, but that was Devin Witherspoon coming like a
- 49:23missile on a sack. Fumble taken back to the house.
- 49:25The ball just didn't hit the ground so they're calling it.
- 49:28A pick six, whatever they had seven sacks.
- 49:31They were bringing pressure from all over place and I thought
- 49:33they were gonna play, man. They just came up with some of
- 49:36the most interesting Zone, Blitz Games.
- 49:38Now Speedy, you mentioned cover, six and cover for, but I think a
- 49:43lot of people don't realize. There's three different ways to
- 49:45play cover for. There's three different ways to
- 49:48play. You is the first way, is you
- 49:50bring four rushers the second ways you bring five and the
- 49:53third ways you bring six. And obviously there's weaknesses
- 49:56underneath. When you bring extra guys, Drake
- 49:58Maye couldn't figure out where the guys are going to be open.
- 50:01Until late in the fourth quarter, when they were driving
- 50:04and kind of, probably making it easier trying to get him to eat
- 50:07up clock, he beat Bullen. He wasn't ready for the play,
- 50:10and he wasn't set. And then he got beat on a deep
- 50:13ball. That was really the and may saw
- 50:15it, you know, credit made for that one.
- 50:16He wasn't set. So he just knew.
- 50:19As soon as he got his deep of him, as he couldn't stay in
- 50:21Phase, it was over. And Holland is a big guy.
- 50:23He can High Point balls right? That that was the only real
- 50:27offense. They had that touchdown was like
- 50:30a desperation flick you know in garbage time to Stevenson who
- 50:34made a really cool play. I will say this So Sam darnold,
- 50:38especially in a second half, he got comfortable, he had that
- 50:41passed a Barner in the fourth quarter that I think sealed the
- 50:45deal. He was so confident.
- 50:47Sam, Donald didn't have to throw 300 yards in this game because
- 50:50he had a Kenneth Walker, running the ball all over the field and
- 50:54completely dominating early in the game.
- 50:56And you can see the offensive line was pushing that young
- 51:00defensive line of the Patriots. They were pushing them finding
- 51:04so many different holes early in the game and Kenneth Walker is
- 51:08so elusive. He was spinning, he was
- 51:10stopping. He was Finding, he was gelling
- 51:12through the hole. It was unbelievable.
- 51:14He was just it was impossible to stop impossible.
- 51:18You know what he was doing? The most of Ariel.
- 51:20He was doing this, like, they were running zone left, like,
- 51:23just like a regular inside Zone to him and he would cut it all
- 51:26the way back to the backside Gap.
- 51:28Because he knew Jackson, Smith, jig was gonna occupied two guys,
- 51:32or they were gonna play two over him and or Gonzalez, Be pressed
- 51:37up on him and he would just run away from that route.
- 51:39So now you can cut it back because there's no one there to
- 51:42make the tackle because they had to worry about Smith and Jigme
- 51:45even when he wasn't getting the ball because they had to keep
- 51:48Gonzalez on Shahid. Because Shahid was the Deep
- 51:50threat, they couldn't just always put him on in jig because
- 51:53they were going to put them in the slot.
- 51:54They found ways to get him open. He had 10 targets he only caught
- 51:57four balls, he got the concussion probably had one.
- 52:00They still let him come back. You know it's a Super Bowl.
- 52:02Let's face it, you know, but I know you're not supposed to say
- 52:05that. With the end of that, we're
- 52:07still gonna bring him back as a decoy.
- 52:08Anyway, you're just the, it was more as a decoy.
- 52:11It is said pretty hard on the ground, you know, but they are
- 52:14too. I mean, at this point, this
- 52:19season ever, I thought it was in Achilles problem because when
- 52:22they pulled him out and they were testing, they were looking
- 52:24at his ankle, they were grabbing his, the back of his calf, which
- 52:28is where the Achilles is. So, I was worried that he, he
- 52:31tore his Achilles partially one two, because they said he was
- 52:35the one that made a decision to go to the locker.
- 52:38Yeah, I mean, it could have been cramping in the in the calf
- 52:40though, too. You know what I mean?
- 52:41I didn't know that. I mean, we don't know.
- 52:43We don't know how to read lips. No, I said, we don't know.
- 52:45The thing that I thought was the most interesting thing about
- 52:47this game is the Run game of the Patriots.
- 52:50Was supposed to be how they won this game, and you mentioned it,
- 52:52Andre Stevenson. He looked like he had a couple
- 52:54of good runs early from it. They got away from it and they
- 52:58had to get away from it because they were behind and they got
- 53:01away from it too soon, will Campbell.
- 53:05Left tackle. I mean, we are talk about it.
- 53:07Horrible. He's a liability out there.
- 53:10I was watching some of the o-line expert, guys dissect.
- 53:13What he did. There was some good things he
- 53:15did which were more like certain past sets.
- 53:19He's really good at But a lot of them he doesn't get set because
- 53:23he doesn't know what move to choose and Demarcus Lawrence
- 53:26just took it straight to him. That was why they kicked their
- 53:29ass. They only had to bring four guys
- 53:30and then he got to pick, oh, on third down, let me bring this
- 53:34exotic Blitz. He won't know how to stop it, or
- 53:36they'll have to put Stevenson on our my best Blitzer and he's not
- 53:40gonna be able to stop it. And that's what they did.
- 53:42All game and it was just as soon as they got the third down, it
- 53:46was over. I mean, they got, they only got
- 53:48away. I think about may, like you
- 53:50should be able to scramble on four-man rush.
- 53:53You should be able to and he wasn't, he was not, they were in
- 53:58spying him, they were just playing good old-fashioned
- 54:01football and trusting their lineman to play discipline and
- 54:04keep him in the pocket. He was a deer in the headlights,
- 54:06he was a dear and had lights the whole game and you could see
- 54:08that he was uncomfortable early in the game and he was forcing
- 54:13the ball. He was trying to throw the ball
- 54:14away because everywhere he was looking there was somebody up
- 54:17his ass. He was running inside and out of
- 54:19the pocket and What? I thought Seattle did so very
- 54:22well with keep him in the pocket, make him throw the ball,
- 54:27make him try to beat him with his arm, and they knew that he
- 54:29couldn't with the talent that they had, and stuff on.
- 54:32Digs the whole game was talking crap.
- 54:34And everybody was saying, I, I know in the fourth quarter,
- 54:37there was something going on inside lines and oh, yeah, Josh,
- 54:39Jobe started that. So Diggs was retaliating.
- 54:42Yeah. But what was Diggs doing
- 54:43throughout the game to, to start with job?
- 54:46I mean the whole game, he was talking crap even before the
- 54:50game when they were doing the corn flip and he was out there
- 54:53in the middle. What was he saying?
- 54:54You could read his goddamn lips. The guy, the guy's the
- 54:58Troublemaker, that's what he is. And he was only out there.
- 55:01I think he was only out there to be a decoy, because he did
- 55:04nothing on the football field. How many catches did he have?
- 55:07Two, one, two, and they're both in the game.
- 55:09I mean, he was horrible. He was the one catching Digs at
- 55:122 and they have. And I'm gonna tell you this
- 55:14right now. The weakness of the New England
- 55:15Patriots, is that, why receivers?
- 55:17That's not an excuse for Drake me, because we see quarterbacks
- 55:20Over the years, get to the Super Bowl with lesser Talent.
- 55:23So I don't want to hear that from the Patriot fans.
- 55:26Well look who he's throwing to. Hey, if you're an elite
- 55:28quarterback, MVP candidate. You said that about Tom Brady
- 55:32we've said that many many times about quarterbacks over the
- 55:34years that I've made it so far. I don't want to hear that Drake,
- 55:37may have nothing to throw to. He had players.
- 55:40He just couldn't get the ball over there.
- 55:42He doesn't have a number one guy, but there are a lot of
- 55:45teams did Josh. Allen have a number one guy all
- 55:47season long. He didn't though our teams out
- 55:50there that don't have number one guys, that's not an excuse.
- 55:52So Drake Made, you're an MVP candidate.
- 55:55You got to go out there and make plays no matter what.
- 55:57If you want to be considered an elite quarterback, ya as Tom
- 56:01Brady was. Yeah, was it the argument that
- 56:02you in the beef had a while ago? Was the beef's main phases of
- 56:05top. Brady didn't have receivers to
- 56:07see what the beef was saying. Well, the game the whole game, I
- 56:11think he was rooting for the Patriots, he was like, I got
- 56:15what to be. This is the bees Deli, we got
- 56:17some scenes from the actions right over.
- 56:20There I wasn't at the deli. I was at his family's house.
- 56:23There was some deli food, by the way, the chili made me want to
- 56:26dump after after I got home, I was on the toilet for like four
- 56:30or five times and throughout the morning.
- 56:31So I gotta say the chili was good.
- 56:32Anytime you're going to the bathroom after that, you know,
- 56:35it's good job. You know, all about the chili.
- 56:37If it's making you go to the bathroom, it's burning a little
- 56:39hole in the little tailbone over there, but, but did you do chili
- 56:44and cinnamon rolls? That's the key.
- 56:45No, no, no, no, no, no. Cinnamon rolls wrong with you
- 56:49guys. What is wrong with you?
- 56:51You try. Oh, chilly would sit in roles.
- 56:55All of us. See no.
- 57:01Oh my God, job, I had chili with cinnamon rolls.
- 57:04It's unbelievable. I don't change your life.
- 57:08Yeah, it also give me diabetes know, what is cinnamon rolling?
- 57:14Gonna Give You diabetes. I have cinnamon rolls.
- 57:17You want the sugar on it, right? You want that icing on it?
- 57:20It gives it that nice little cinnamon roll.
- 57:23Oh dude, I don't have one. If I have one.
- 57:25I have many I don't just eat one cinnamon roll.
- 57:27I mean so you're not gonna have multiple bowls of Chile.
- 57:31You're not, I had like three balls of chili.
- 57:34I had three of them. And, and I was, you know, The
- 57:38course of the game. Maybe no.
- 57:40I had a pretty quick man and then I started burning a hole in
- 57:43my stomach. I was like I gotta stay away
- 57:44from that stuff and so I was in and out of the path of early,
- 57:48but I I really was. I'm not gonna lie but it was
- 57:52good. I I actually I don't like hot
- 57:54stuff, but when it comes to chili, I can eat it hot as long
- 57:58as it's not too hot where it's burning the hell out of you
- 58:00mouth. But I, I used to eat a lot of
- 58:02Haitian food when I used to train.
- 58:03With my friend, when we did mixed martial arts, his mom used
- 58:06to make this. This Haitian soup.
- 58:08That was so spicy. It you would lose your taste
- 58:12buds when you eat it because you couldn't even taste it.
- 58:14It was so so hot. I got so used to, it was so good
- 58:17that. Now if I eat hot chili, I'm
- 58:20actually it doesn't affect me so because I know what hot is but I
- 58:25get back to what we were talking about with the Super Bowl.
- 58:27I just thought it was, they were just completely outmatched and I
- 58:31expected that there was no way in hell that the Patriots was
- 58:34Patriots going to put up a fight with the way, the secondary was
- 58:37playing and the way. Cash rush.
- 58:39And by the way, in the second half, they completely smothered
- 58:42any kind of running game that Patriots had any kind of running
- 58:45game. They smothered it, they didn't,
- 58:47and I was very surprised, like you said fish, remind me stated
- 58:51early in the game. They they had some successful
- 58:53reminders. Stevenson why didn't they start
- 58:55continue handing them the ball to open up seams so it opened up
- 58:59the throwing game it just made no sense.
- 59:01It was terrible play calling by by Mike McDaniel.
- 59:05If Josh McDaniels Josh, I think God really School in this one.
- 59:11I think a lot of the blitzes especially he just knew how to
- 59:14Target the types of protections they were going to run.
- 59:17He just knew it there and I think Speedy you tell me I
- 59:21thought early in the game I thought it was real obvious that
- 59:25every time they blitzed, there was a certain checkdown that was
- 59:30going to be immediate or hot route.
- 59:32That was immediately covered by Seattle.
- 59:34They knew where all of the hot routes were in McDaniel.
- 59:38Gates spy gate 28 aspect of with just a good talk about as much
- 59:44on defense with Ernest Jones. He did that with the Rams.
- 59:47It's cool to film. And I, and they said that before
- 59:50the game and they were doing like these like these things,
- 59:52these stories about the coaches, they did that thing about Mike
- 59:56McDonald and they were talking about how he's like a film freak
- 59:59and that he watches old film and new film.
- 1:00:02And he studies it. That's why I think Mike
- 1:00:05McDonald. Just wanted the best defensive
- 1:00:06Minds right now, in the NFL, is he watches film.
- 1:00:09He understands how he's gonna play against McDaniel and how
- 1:00:13he's going to play against all the elite offensive Minds in the
- 1:00:16NFL. And I think he just completely
- 1:00:18smothered Josh. And Josh had no answer from the
- 1:00:22from the first half to the second.
- 1:00:24You like I said, that's when you know that separates the the I
- 1:00:29believe the elite teams to the secondary teams.
- 1:00:31I don't think the the Patriots are an elite team.
- 1:00:35I as much as I, I saw them to be very Successful this year and
- 1:00:39throughout the AFC the AFC is so weak and even next year unless
- 1:00:43there's the AFC like juices up like Buffalo gets a little bit
- 1:00:48better and Baltimore add some defensive playing and maybe they
- 1:00:52get the right defensive coordinator.
- 1:00:54Do you think the regular season obviously their strength is
- 1:00:57obviously one of the worst ever you think that played a huge
- 1:01:00part. Yeah, 100% 100% because I said
- 1:01:03it going into the playoffs that we're gonna see what Drake Maye
- 1:01:06is and what he's made of because he hasn't played against the
- 1:01:09elite offenses in the AFC and we saw it.
- 1:01:13I know it was it was snowing out the playoffs and and there's no
- 1:01:17but there's no excuse Drake Made just was not as good as he was
- 1:01:22throughout the first what 12 games of the Season at the tail
- 1:01:25end of the season, he wasn't playing as well as he was early
- 1:01:29in the season and that says a lot about this strength the
- 1:01:32schedule and again, that's why I think next year.
- 1:01:35We'll see how really good Drake Made is going.
- 1:01:38Going to be because he's going to play against the best teams,
- 1:01:41the number one seeds in all of the conferences.
- 1:01:44So we'll see and Java. That's another reason too.
- 1:01:46We've seen a lot of NFC West teams in the Super Bowl over the
- 1:01:48years, because they've always been a really competitive
- 1:01:50Division, and they outside of Arizona who wants, oh, wait all
- 1:01:55the three of those teams made multiple Super Bowls, literally
- 1:01:57because they're used to that kind of thing.
- 1:01:58Now, as you can say, the same thing with the Patriots, making
- 1:02:00it a lot with Brady and Bella check, but that's because they
- 1:02:02had the lot of the time. They were not competing in an
- 1:02:05easy division now, operating Belichick.
- 1:02:07Yeah, Drake Maye got a easy ride basically with what they had to
- 1:02:10play, but they were, he was not ready for a pass for us like
- 1:02:13this or defense like this. Thing about this for second,
- 1:02:16they didn't have to go through a playoffs in the AFC this year
- 1:02:19with Joe burrow and it with Patrick Mahomes in it or Lamar
- 1:02:23Jackson and right? They didn't have to face any of
- 1:02:25those three Elite quarterbacks and then play Josh Allen because
- 1:02:29Josh Allen lost the weight before.
- 1:02:31And they didn't have to face Josh Allen that and Josh Allen
- 1:02:34beat him, you know in that rubber match earlier in the
- 1:02:37season, pretty decisively. I thought so to me, they this
- 1:02:42was their real chance because they're going to have those
- 1:02:45teams are going to really anti up.
- 1:02:46You expect them to be back and it's gonna be hard to go through
- 1:02:49them. Unless Drake Maye really levels
- 1:02:51up, from where he is. Now it's a great effort, they
- 1:02:54said that he was banged up, I'm sure we'll hear about some kind
- 1:02:57of, you know, hand or foot surgery or some bullshit like
- 1:03:00that that he's probably has to get.
- 1:03:02Just look at the end of the season, no matter how easy this
- 1:03:04schedule was, you play 20 football games, you're not
- 1:03:07feeling 100%. You know what I'm saying?
- 1:03:09Whatever 70 at best. And there's no way after playing
- 1:03:13after getting hit as much as he did in that Super Bowl.
- 1:03:16He feels anywhere near that. So, right, I think that is going
- 1:03:19to be real hard for them to come back.
- 1:03:20The Seahawks, though, I think skies the limit, you're right,
- 1:03:23man. This McDonald's it.
- 1:03:26He's he, I love the watching him right at the end, when they
- 1:03:30showed him on, Camera but it's looking at everything.
- 1:03:32Just kind of like I feel like he had like a checklist in his head
- 1:03:36because he's a coach, he's like, remember to take it all in, you
- 1:03:40know what I mean? Like and he just made sure that
- 1:03:42he looked up and he lost a little confetti come down the
- 1:03:45guy deserved every single second you are.
- 1:03:47So when before the game, when everybody all the media was
- 1:03:50interviewing him and they were asking him questions about, you
- 1:03:54know, himself. He didn't want to give himself
- 1:03:56any of the compliments. It was all about his team and,
- 1:03:59and, and telling, and telling the media that if we didn't have
- 1:04:02this guy and we didn't have that guy, we wouldn't be where we
- 1:04:05were today. And and us, he, he had so many
- 1:04:09great raving, you know, emotional things to say about
- 1:04:13Schneider and how Schneider gave him a chance to to coach this
- 1:04:16team and give get his first opportunity as a coach.
- 1:04:18And and look at look at what where it's transitioning into
- 1:04:22it's unbelievable. And this story is is pretty
- 1:04:25interesting because if you know anything about what make
- 1:04:28McDonald's did and to get this position, he Was like, he was
- 1:04:32like a towel boy, his whole, you know, he, he has to move up.
- 1:04:35Yeah, he was an intern, a towel boy, a Waterboy where he almost
- 1:04:40quit football. It was quite coaching.
- 1:04:42Yeah, so it is an interesting story.
- 1:04:44When you, you think about what it took and like, it it's really
- 1:04:48is passion for the game and a love for the game.
- 1:04:51When you talk about how he had to the ups and downs, he had to
- 1:04:55deal with kind of like, you know, me what with radio and
- 1:04:58stuff like that. It's an amazing story because
- 1:05:00you gotta be passionate, you got to love what you do and you
- 1:05:03gotta believe in yourself, that you're willing to work to get to
- 1:05:07that next step. And then move up the chain and
- 1:05:10and climb the ladder. And that's what he did.
- 1:05:12And that's why it's such an impressive story and he's still
- 1:05:14a very young coach and has an opportunity to be as successful
- 1:05:19as we've seen a lot of these Dynasty teams over the last
- 1:05:23couple. You know, last Arrow of teams
- 1:05:25that we've seen in the past. So this Seattle Seahawks team.
- 1:05:28This is the last time we're going to see them this.
- 1:05:31Sure of it. And it probably we're going to
- 1:05:33see this this team as an elite team for the next five to six
- 1:05:36years because of the talent, the draft stock, that's Schneider
- 1:05:39really starts to build and, and the guy knows how to draft.
- 1:05:42If you look at his draft, he drafts his drafts.
- 1:05:45Start in the third and fourth round.
- 1:05:46It's not really the first and second round is where he
- 1:05:49dominates its his understanding on how to find guys.
- 1:05:53In the third fourth, fifth sixth and seventh rounds because he
- 1:05:56has hit on a lot of those guys, and some of them became Hall of
- 1:05:59Famers. So we understand what he's
- 1:06:02capable of doing. And then bringing guys, he was
- 1:06:04the one that brought in Marshawn, Lynch from Buffalo.
- 1:06:05Remember Marshawn. Lynch was not drifted by Seattle
- 1:06:08Schneider was the one that made that move to bring him in
- 1:06:12Schneider was the one that brought in my Matt Flynn, he
- 1:06:15made a mistake with Matt Flynn but he had a whole run when he
- 1:06:17hit Russell Wilson and you know in 30 in a third round.
- 1:06:20So but he hasn't been and again finding quarterbacks are not
- 1:06:24easy. We've said this many many times
- 1:06:26and he's that was that spin his his problem over the last.
- 1:06:30I would say the Last five or six years when they decided to move
- 1:06:33away from Russell Wilson is finding that guy that's going to
- 1:06:36replace him. So I think he found them Sam.
- 1:06:39Donald is a young guy, he's 28 years old.
- 1:06:40He was the youngest quarterback. Drafted in NFL history with the
- 1:06:44New York Jets at the age of 19 and I think he's got a
- 1:06:47tremendous future with the Seattle Seahawks team with a
- 1:06:49great offensive line, great defense and a great coach I
- 1:06:52think that the sky's the limit for this team.
- 1:06:54Speaking of fact Arrow quickly that they mentioned a stat after
- 1:06:59the Super Bowls won, Schneider 12 years apart with two
- 1:07:04different, completely different users.
- 1:07:05Not a single player on the roster from the first run is
- 1:07:09almost nobody who's ever done that.
- 1:07:11Nobody has a general manager, nobody's ever done, you know.
- 1:07:13Like now this is plenty of general manager that won had two
- 1:07:17different runs but not in the same place like that.
- 1:07:19The fact that he was able to completely recreate it without
- 1:07:23the vision of McDonald's in this roster build but he's, he's
- 1:07:27somebody that if they win another one, With this group.
- 1:07:32They're going to talk about that guy for the Hall of Fame in
- 1:07:34about a decade. He's a whole family.
- 1:07:36There's no question. He's a Hall of Famer.
- 1:07:38And by the way, where it's Schneider, come from speedy,
- 1:07:41Actually don't know the Green Bay Packers.
- 1:07:43I don't know. Either the Green Bay Packers.
- 1:07:44So, oh cool about my McDonald's. Maria Taylor gave him the trophy
- 1:07:52and they went to high school together in Georgia.
- 1:07:54Oh wow. That's interesting.
- 1:07:56Yeah, speaking of interesting statistics, we've got Speedy
- 1:08:01stat of the week. Like made the Juliet like the
- 1:08:09way. All right, we're gonna get any
- 1:08:12some Hall of Fame in a bit but we're gonna start with my staff
- 1:08:16on a Hall of Famer. The senior member of the Hall of
- 1:08:17Fame Rodger. Craig, congratulations him
- 1:08:20finally. Getting in one of three layers
- 1:08:22of this, one of 14 running backs have 90 catches in a season.
- 1:08:25He was the first one to do that, doing it in 1985.
- 1:08:27He's one of three running backs that led the NFL in total
- 1:08:31catches joining Chuck Foreman and Liddell Mitchell in the 70s
- 1:08:34and 89, receiving yards, more than Jerry Rice.
- 1:08:38That's seasoned who I both believe is the greatest football
- 1:08:41player of all time. Greatest.
- 1:08:42Yes. In 1985 at 89 more receiving
- 1:08:44yards and almost double the amount of catches 92 catches to
- 1:08:4849 for Cherry rice. That's the only one alive when
- 1:08:51that happened and I say, yes, you're right, but I 3.
- 1:08:56So, I didn't even know, I didn't even know how to take a dump on
- 1:08:59myself. As a matter of fact, my parents
- 1:09:04taped my diaper together because I was ripping it off and
- 1:09:07smothering my dump all over the. Oh, you just reverse Back to the
- 1:09:14Future. Go back to 1985 to get Errol
- 1:09:17some dude, right? I don't even think there were
- 1:09:21white people at that, if I don't have to go back in time for you,
- 1:09:24dude, wife, I believe it or not. I'm I, I'm allergic to powder.
- 1:09:28So my parents used to put powder because I get rashes and they
- 1:09:31didn't realize that the powder was the one that was giving me
- 1:09:33rashes. So I would get rashes like an
- 1:09:36old different areas that you don't want to have rashes.
- 1:09:39And I would try to get, I would try to itch but my parents would
- 1:09:42take duct tape my diaper because I would try to get it all.
- 1:09:45And I used to do like discussing things with my diapers so I
- 1:09:50couldn't itch. Could you imagine the pain?
- 1:09:52I was in trying to itch my my ass or in between my legs?
- 1:09:57Until they realized for my doctor that I'm allergic to
- 1:10:00powder. True story, ladies makes sense.
- 1:10:04Yeah, at the NFL honors ceremony last Thursday, the 2026 class of
- 1:10:10Pro Football. Hall of Fame was announced the
- 1:10:13five new members included two, first ballot Hall of Famers,
- 1:10:17Saints quarterback, Drew Brees and Cardinals wide receiver.
- 1:10:20Larry Fitzgerald, the other three inductees are panthers
- 1:10:24linebacker Luke Kuechly and Patriots and Colts kicker, Adam
- 1:10:29Vinatieri and 49ers running back.
- 1:10:31You heard it. The one as we all know it Roger
- 1:10:35Craig Breeze, who won Super Bowl 44 was a 13 Time, pro bowler,
- 1:10:41and is second all-time in both passing yards and passing
- 1:10:45touchdowns. Larry Fitzgerald was and 11 Time
- 1:10:49pro bowler and is ranked second all-time behind Jerry Rice and
- 1:10:52receiving yards and six. All-time in receiving
- 1:10:56touchdowns. Adam Vinatieri got in on the
- 1:11:00second on a second try. And became the third kicker to
- 1:11:04get into the Hall of Fame. He is the all-time leader in
- 1:11:07field goals, made points, scored consecutive field goals made and
- 1:11:11total games played. Luke Kuechly also got in on his
- 1:11:14second trial, despite a short career by the Hall of Fame
- 1:11:18standards. He made pro made, the Pro Bowl
- 1:11:22in seven. Out of the eight NFL 7, out of
- 1:11:24his, eight NFL seasons, having over 100 tackles in all eight
- 1:11:29seasons leading. The NFL in total tackles twice
- 1:11:32and was Defensive Player of the Year in 2000.
- 1:11:35Thirteen Rodger. Craig was a senior member who
- 1:11:40got inducted finishing with almost 9,000 running rushing
- 1:11:44yards. But, is best known for his
- 1:11:47receiving, receiving for the legendary 49ers of the 80s,
- 1:11:52having 5,000 receiving yards, and his career, his receiving
- 1:11:57total is ninth. All time amongst running backs
- 1:12:00and he Was the first ever to get 1,000 rushing yards and
- 1:12:06receiving yards in a season. So, a lot of people were
- 1:12:11questioning the whole Robert Kraft, and Bill Belichick.
- 1:12:14Bill Belichick is the first ballot Hall of Famer.
- 1:12:17There's no way I'm putting an owner.
- 1:12:18There's no way I'm putting an owner as a first ballot Hall of
- 1:12:22Fame. Specially Robert Kraft, with the
- 1:12:25background of who he is and his past, especially the rubbing pug
- 1:12:30thing as we all know the story behind it, but nevertheless, the
- 1:12:34NFL has a Love Fest for Robert Kraft, but I was happy that if
- 1:12:37you're not going to put Bill Belichick in you're not going to
- 1:12:40put Robert Kraft in. That's he's not a person.
- 1:12:44Spell famous know I Bill Belichick is Robert not?
- 1:12:47No he's not but he's a he's not because the committee is a bunch
- 1:12:51of idiots. That this guy coach, this guy's
- 1:12:54the greatest coach of all time. You talk about facts.
- 1:13:00He's not a first belt Hall of Fame, not anymore.
- 1:13:02He should be well. And I'm not, I'm not disagreeing
- 1:13:06but you can't say the first battle.
- 1:13:08I'm saying in my book, He's a first ballot Hall of Famer, and
- 1:13:11I think a 10 out of 10 people that know anything about
- 1:13:14football. I'm not saying you've got job,
- 1:13:15but 10 out of 10 people that are, I've been a part of the NFL
- 1:13:19and not even coached by Bill Belichick.
- 1:13:21If you ask Peyton, Manning an older quarterbacks that Bill
- 1:13:24Belichick has beaten over the years.
- 1:13:25They all would tell you, he is a first ballot Hall of Famer,
- 1:13:28there's no question but he's not.
- 1:13:30But when you look at the list of guys that got in this year old
- 1:13:34desert, everyone out of Venturi is the greatest kicker I've ever
- 1:13:37seen. Most clutch.
- 1:13:40When we talk about the great Patriot teams three out of the
- 1:13:44what five Super Bowls, he was as important that any player
- 1:13:48including Tom Brady especially in the Super Bowl against
- 1:13:51Carolina. He kicked the game-winning kick.
- 1:13:54We've seen how important the kicker isn't a Super Bowl issue.
- 1:13:56Yeah, but he was as important as any kicker.
- 1:14:00I can remember in the big stage of football game in the
- 1:14:03playoffs. This guy was as clutch as you
- 1:14:06can get, I mean kicking, 50 yard, field goals, 40 yard field
- 1:14:10goals in the wind. I mean in the snow this guy was
- 1:14:14had the leg of, you know, I don't know.
- 1:14:17I don't even know what you call his leg of a diamond.
- 1:14:20If there is a if there's such thing, diamonds are forever.
- 1:14:22So I guess it's it's important is that but I he is well
- 1:14:27deserved and and I think he's honestly thought that I know
- 1:14:32you're not gonna put a kick-ass the first battle Hall of Famer.
- 1:14:34But if there was any kicker that, I would put as a first
- 1:14:36battle Hall of Famer, it would be Adam Vinatieri.
- 1:14:38Drew Brees is a first ballot Hall of Famer this success.
- 1:14:42First of all, Drew Brees, maybe his five, ten probably around
- 1:14:46five nine. When I saw Drew Brees, he's a
- 1:14:49little bit smaller than me. So he's not five ten but they
- 1:14:52say he was But the guy had an unbelievable arm, one of the
- 1:14:56most accurate throwers I've ever seen.
- 1:14:58One of the, the the, the most unique personalities.
- 1:15:04The NFL is ever had, how many 5,000 yards seasons has he had
- 1:15:07how many 4500 yards Seasons? He's had yes.
- 1:15:11He had Sean Payton, but look, who you're throwing to Colston
- 1:15:14was his number one target for many, many of many years over
- 1:15:17there with the Saints. And remember, he started over
- 1:15:20there in San Diego and then they decided to part ways with him
- 1:15:23and let him go. Because of I think if I'm not
- 1:15:26mistaken any injury, And then he goes, Sean, Payton signs him,
- 1:15:30and brings him over there, and then we all know what rivers
- 1:15:34goes over there. Gets drafted.
- 1:15:35It was a flip-flop with Eli Manning and rivers was
- 1:15:39successful, but never one over there, but he will, jump ship,
- 1:15:42went to the Saints, and won a Super Bowl and was as good of
- 1:15:46the other two, as good as the other two quarterbacks that he's
- 1:15:49compared to. And that is Tom Brady.
- 1:15:52And Peyton Manning because all three of these guys were really
- 1:15:56connected their whole career. Aaron Rodgers was at the, he was
- 1:16:00a little bit below them at the tail end because he was still
- 1:16:03younger than them do I think Aaron Rodgers is better than all
- 1:16:06three of them in the 10-year spans?
- 1:16:07Yes, I think Aaron Rodgers as good or even better than all of
- 1:16:11those guys, but nevertheless Drew Brees stood for something.
- 1:16:15And I don't know if he's a good analyst because we've seen
- 1:16:18enough of him as an analyst to be to say that.
- 1:16:20He's not he's not Tom, Brady, he's not Tony robot but the guy
- 1:16:24had an unbelievable ability to get the ball where he wanted it
- 1:16:27to go and 13 Time pro bowler. I was he and VP was.
- 1:16:33He was never an MVP, just surprised.
- 1:16:35Yeah, there was a year. I think it 2011.
- 1:16:37He should have won over Aaron Rodgers, I think, yes, but he
- 1:16:41was a sensational player and honestly at some points, maybe
- 1:16:45in a five-year span. I thought he was the best
- 1:16:48quarterback out of all three of them.
- 1:16:49He really was as good of a quarterback as Some of the best
- 1:16:53quarterbacks of this era and of this time and and probably the
- 1:16:57but this is the best time when you think about quarterbacks you
- 1:16:59had Aaron Rodgers Ben Roethlisberger.
- 1:17:01Eli Manning Peyton, Manning Tom Brady.
- 1:17:03I mean Philip Rivers. I'm trying to think of the the
- 1:17:08quarterbacks of of this of that era and how good they were
- 1:17:11Andrew Luck. There were so many good
- 1:17:14quarterbacks and to think that Drew Brees might have been the
- 1:17:18second or third. Best one out of all those great
- 1:17:21quarterbacks and all of them are gonna go in, it's all the
- 1:17:23famers. It's an amazing feat and I think
- 1:17:25he's a first ballot. He's absolutely.
- 1:17:27And I had, I had a story out of all these guys.
- 1:17:30I put Drew Brees. That's the number one guy as the
- 1:17:33first ballot Hall of Famer, as Forest water Fitzgerald.
- 1:17:35Larry Fitzgerald is probably the most likable, one out of all
- 1:17:38these guys. He is a great analyst by the
- 1:17:41way, and I think eventually will be one of the better color guys
- 1:17:44on television, but everything about him.
- 1:17:47He is ability to catch the ball, not drop the ball.
- 1:17:50Make big plays. He never want to.
- 1:17:52Super Bowl, never he's played in a Super Bowl, never won a Super
- 1:17:56Bowl, but it's a shame because of the outstanding career this
- 1:17:59guy had, he has more, he had multiple coaches, multiple
- 1:18:03quarterbacks and still was as successful as he was in his
- 1:18:07career is an amazing, amazing career.
- 1:18:10And story first ballot Hall of Famer slammed on Call Of Famer
- 1:18:14honestly probably top three wide receiver of all time.
- 1:18:17I would take him over Randy Moss.
- 1:18:19A lot of people might think I'm crazy but I take him over Randy
- 1:18:23Moss, Randy Moss never want to Super Bowl.
- 1:18:26So if you talk about guys that never want to Super Bowl that a
- 1:18:29first battle Hall of Famers, this guy's the best one, and
- 1:18:32it's such a good person by the way.
- 1:18:33And then Adam, we mentioned out of any Terry.
- 1:18:36Then there's Luke Kuechly, a lot of people questioned.
- 1:18:39Luke Kuechly, is he a second ballot Hall of Famer.
- 1:18:41Luke Kuechly in a eight. Nine year span was the best
- 1:18:46linebacker in NFL. I remember when he was a moment,
- 1:18:48was it busting you that college that he played for?
- 1:18:51I remember, Was the second round draft pick, right?
- 1:18:54Oh no. He was top 10.
- 1:18:55He was a top. Was it top 10?
- 1:18:56Yeah, it was 9 pack. I showed you.
- 1:18:58It shows you how much I know about Luke Kuechly, but I
- 1:19:00remember when they were talking about him going into the draft
- 1:19:04and he had a great season. He came out of nowhere as it was
- 1:19:08a four-star recruit, and he played for Boston College.
- 1:19:12Boston College is not known for their football, they're known
- 1:19:14for their hockey. So the fact that he chose Boston
- 1:19:17College to play for and then and get his opportunity to be a
- 1:19:21first round talent, but the, the career that he had, and the
- 1:19:24trajectory, this was the Carolina Panthers defense, for
- 1:19:28like seven years was one of the top five defenses in Elite.
- 1:19:31And I remember when they went to the Super Bowl against the
- 1:19:33Broncos, they were the best defense in the NFL, including
- 1:19:37better than the Broncos were that year.
- 1:19:39And a Broncos were Sensational, especially on that playoff
- 1:19:42front, well, wolf and, and the talent that they had, but I will
- 1:19:46say this Luke Kuechly is a, I don't know about a second ballot
- 1:19:50Hall of Fame. He's a Hall of Famer.
- 1:19:52And when you you talk about Willis Patrick Willis, getting
- 1:19:55in, in a short career, I Speedy we went back and forth.
- 1:19:59I think Luke Kuechly was better than Patrick Willis.
- 1:20:02I do, because Patrick Willis, played on better defense's.
- 1:20:07I think Luke Kuechly was the he was the backbone of the Carolina
- 1:20:11Panthers defense. He was the play caller, he was
- 1:20:14the captain. Patrick Willis was not the play
- 1:20:16call on that defense. So I think Luke Kuechly and
- 1:20:20first of all, another likeable person anybody that's met, the
- 1:20:23guy I've never met him. But what I've heard through the
- 1:20:25grapevine is this guy is as good of a person then you'll ever
- 1:20:29meet. So and he loves teaching, kids
- 1:20:31loves autographing. He doesn't ask for anything more
- 1:20:35than just a hello and a goodbye. Very, very nice guy.
- 1:20:38And then there's Rodger Craig, I think this is long overdue.
- 1:20:40Yes. If you think about those 80s
- 1:20:44Championship San Francisco, 49ers teams, who made the final
- 1:20:48catch of the game, I forget what Super Bowl.
- 1:20:50It was John Montana throwing him the ball.
- 1:20:52It was it was Rodger. Craig Rodger.
- 1:20:55Craig as a guy that has always been known as one of the elite
- 1:21:00players offensive players of the 80s but he always got forgotten
- 1:21:05because of all those great 49ers teams.
- 1:21:07If you think about your rice, you think about Joe Montana,
- 1:21:10Steve Young, those defensive players and daughter.
- 1:21:13Don't forget about him know, I'm not.
- 1:21:17But Roger Craig was the the, the focal point in early in the 80s.
- 1:21:23And there was no, Jerry Rice there.
- 1:21:25Really? He was the focal point of that
- 1:21:27offense. And it was he was one of Joe
- 1:21:30Montana's favorite players to throw to and and give the ball
- 1:21:33to. So I was very surprised.
- 1:21:35It took him like almost 20 something years to get into the
- 1:21:39Hall of Fame but very well deserved.
- 1:21:41I would say should have been in the Hall of Fame, 10 years ago,
- 1:21:44but the NFL is so hard on, I think this is the hardest out of
- 1:21:49all sports to get into the Hall of Fame.
- 1:21:51It's like the NFL really reaches and if like Terrell Davis should
- 1:21:55not be in a Hall of Fame. I don't care what anybody says
- 1:21:57if Rod if Terrell if Tyrone Davis is in the Hall of Fame.
- 1:22:02Project. Craig, she definitely should
- 1:22:03have been a first battle Hall of Fame.
- 1:22:05Because to me, if you would ask me right now in the prime of
- 1:22:08their career, who would I want to roll Davis to Rodger?
- 1:22:10Craig, I'm taking Roger Craig. So another guy that has
- 1:22:15Sensational career very well deserved.
- 1:22:17And like, Joe Montana said, after he was chosen to be
- 1:22:21inducted into the Football Hall of Fame, he says, long overdue,
- 1:22:25one of the best and one of the nicest people you'll ever meet.
- 1:22:28So Joe Montana who comes out and doesn't really give anybody
- 1:22:31compliments says a lot. It's says a lot about his his
- 1:22:34personality and who Roger Craig gets.
- 1:22:36Yeah. Before I get my take on the Hall
- 1:22:38of Famers. We have a Roger, Craig Fang, a
- 1:22:40big 49ers fan on the on the phone right now with us heels
- 1:22:42are so snowman in the morning Mr. Bryan snow Even gents.
- 1:22:47How are you? All right man.
- 1:22:49Are you still man? What's hey, how's it going?
- 1:22:52Eh. What's going on, man?
- 1:22:53I know you wanted to call off and talk about your Rodger.
- 1:22:56Craig take because I know you're a big 49ers fan.
- 1:22:58It's always Owen. By the way.
- 1:22:59I am. Oh, and they suck.
- 1:23:00I'm sorry. I had to do that.
- 1:23:02Listen, Roger. Craig's.
- 1:23:04Roger Craig's. Induction into the Hall of Fame
- 1:23:06is way passed overdue. Because, as I've said on my show
- 1:23:11and arrow, you've ridden shotgun with me.
- 1:23:13When you heard me, say, if you can honor Marshall Faulk with a
- 1:23:17thousand season with a gold jacket.
- 1:23:18If you can, honor Christian McCaffrey who almost came close
- 1:23:22to doing it again this year that?
- 1:23:24Why could you honor the original?
- 1:23:25The man who originated the staff?
- 1:23:27Roger Craig. He was there before.
- 1:23:30Jerry Rice was there. As you mentioned, he was there
- 1:23:33before he was there before John Taylor was there.
- 1:23:36Yep. And Taylor caught the winning
- 1:23:38catching, Super Bowl 23. So, the person they relied on a
- 1:23:42lot was was Rodger Craig. Because Wendell Tyler was on his
- 1:23:46way in fact when did Tyler retired after Super Bowl 19
- 1:23:50because he knew the 97 Rodger Craig Tom rathman was on the way
- 1:23:55mentioned that same year. They draft they traded up to
- 1:23:58draft Jerry Rice. So you get another so you get
- 1:24:01another weapon and as everyone has said to me and I had said in
- 1:24:05Return Rodger Craig just got lost in all the shuffle of that
- 1:24:09luster of what was that? 4900 Dynasty in the 80s but if
- 1:24:13you needed a tough run, see the Los Angeles Rams from 1988 or or
- 1:24:19anyone in the playoff game 88 playoffs against the Vikings.
- 1:24:23You needed a tough run Rodger Craig?
- 1:24:25Got you that that tough run and he just quietly.
- 1:24:28Went about his business. He did his job and I said that a
- 1:24:33lot of people forget from Super Bowl 23 Montana through for 33
- 1:24:37yards. Yeah.
- 1:24:38Jerry Rice. Call 11 for 2:15 for 100.1,
- 1:24:43including the catch that set up the game.
- 1:24:47Winner, two John Taylor, I remember that Brian and I was
- 1:24:52young, and I've seen the video and if you ever seen the, I
- 1:24:56forget what, what the documentary was, it wasn't that
- 1:24:59Joe Montana was the 49ers documentary and it went from, it
- 1:25:02went from the, the 70s when they made the move to draft, Joe
- 1:25:07Montana, in the second round, he fell out of the first round and
- 1:25:10they built around the core. And Rodger, Craig was one of
- 1:25:13those guys, one of those core players that when you, you talk
- 1:25:17about the, the infamous talent and, and over the, the late 70s
- 1:25:22and 80s type of teams. So, the 49ers had Roger Craig,
- 1:25:26was the one of the faces, one of the, the focal points of that
- 1:25:30offense. And the Niners were not really
- 1:25:33knowing as a running team, even when they're Dynasty started, in
- 1:25:361981, because they had Amos Lawrence, as a feature running
- 1:25:40back. And no one who no one knew, who
- 1:25:42he was until they got the Pontiac Michigan, the running
- 1:25:45back that really sold the West Coast offense was Rodger.
- 1:25:48Craig in 1984, look at who they had since then.
- 1:25:51Ricky Waters, Christian McCaffrey Frank Gore it was all
- 1:25:57about Montana but Bill Walsh designed that offense to run the
- 1:26:00football before they attacked you before they attacked me
- 1:26:04through the air and the original.
- 1:26:06Jack Knight running back was Rodger.
- 1:26:07Craig, no question and if you know anything about the West
- 1:26:10Coast offense you don't have a running game you can't play a
- 1:26:13West Coast yes yes sir. And you need a God too because
- 1:26:18that has a lot to do with the West Coast offense too.
- 1:26:21And in that, in that game, against the Cowboys in 85, where
- 1:26:25he set in, where he where he set the record, no one was aware,
- 1:26:29except for the CBS broadcast crew that he was close to that
- 1:26:34that he was close to that feet of 1000 yards.
- 1:26:37Rushing Thousand Years receiving he did both in the same game.
- 1:26:41He crossed them both in the same game because they ran the ball
- 1:26:44heavily against the Cowboys in the first half and then three
- 1:26:47receptions into the second half. He crossed the 1000 yard
- 1:26:49receiving barriers, so he did both in the same game.
- 1:26:51I want to ask you a question out of all five of these guys do.
- 1:26:55First of all Bill Belichick, is he, first ballot Hall of Famer
- 1:26:58and why in your opinion and out of all five of these guys, how
- 1:27:02would you rate them from top to bottom one through five.
- 1:27:09You would have to throw a question like this at me.
- 1:27:11Let me, let me just over the first one.
- 1:27:14Um, Bill Belichick. I say yes.
- 1:27:17Because remember Bill Belichick before he became the architect
- 1:27:21of the Patriots, he was the architect of the New York,
- 1:27:24Giants defense. Which held many a team,
- 1:27:28including my 49ers under their scoring average.
- 1:27:31So, yes to build Belichick. As far as these five Hall of
- 1:27:35Famers, I can't rank them to be totally honest and totally fair
- 1:27:39for the for the second. They all come on here.
- 1:27:44This is me talking. I know I I know, I know the
- 1:27:48first of all you Arrow you and I have like two the best sports
- 1:27:53mine and we think along the same lines all the time.
- 1:27:55Actually do you we actually do. We think along the same lines
- 1:27:59all the time. You can't, you you can rank
- 1:28:03these guys but it'll present an element hell of an argument,
- 1:28:05like you were talking about a moment ago with Drew Brees who
- 1:28:10should have been the MVP. Not once but twice in my
- 1:28:12opinion. Yes.
- 1:28:12In the time that he was playing with, Peyton Manning, and Tom
- 1:28:15Brady, and like, Roger Craig got swallowed by the 49er Dynasty.
- 1:28:19Drew Brees got swallowed by the quarterbacks, ever playing in
- 1:28:21that era. Yeah.
- 1:28:23Larry Fitz Larry Fitzgerald what took him so long?
- 1:28:27Well yeah, we had to wait five years.
- 1:28:35Yeah. Sometimes you as early as you
- 1:28:39well know. And you've heard me say yes.
- 1:28:42Some guys don't need to wait to get in the Hall of Fame, okay?
- 1:28:45Even though you have to have, you have to have the five yard
- 1:28:48five year. Oh, good gracious.
- 1:28:51It's been a busy Monday. Five years before you get off
- 1:28:55down five years before you before you get in the Hall of
- 1:28:57Fame. I messed up Josh mcdan.
- 1:28:59Else to Mike McDonald. So I know it's been a long day.
- 1:29:03It's been a long day for me, too.
- 1:29:05You can tell it's you can tell it's Monday when creators like
- 1:29:08us mess up. Simple names.
- 1:29:10I was I was interviewing me. I was interviewing Howard cross
- 1:29:14last week and I was watching an Ernie, Davis, documentary and I,
- 1:29:18I saw I messed up. What was this?
- 1:29:21So he said, Ernie Banks for Carl blankets and I called and he
- 1:29:27called Ernie Banks, a great running back.
- 1:29:29You're great running back. So I was lost.
- 1:29:30And then how would cross like, he kind of fell into it.
- 1:29:33He was laughing about it. It was funny, you know, it was
- 1:29:36funny. I love, I love, Howard cross.
- 1:29:38Yeah, I love her. I cross the way you, the way,
- 1:29:42the way he played with with, with the with the Giants this
- 1:29:45morning, this morning, I had, I had a big one.
- 1:29:48We, I had I made a big mistake this morning. when I when I was
- 1:29:54doing my show and I looked at a name because I was searching for
- 1:29:58a basketball game doing Wednesday, and accidentally said
- 1:30:01that name and said what I wanted to say it covered the Super Bowl
- 1:30:06because the same same last name but If you really want to go, if
- 1:30:15you really want to go one through five on this Hall of
- 1:30:17Fame class. For me, one has got to be Drew
- 1:30:21Brees. Okay.
- 1:30:21All right. Job.
- 1:30:23You agree. Right job?
- 1:30:24Are you agree? Drew Brees has.
- 1:30:26Got Drew Brees. Has got to be one.
- 1:30:31Two through five is two through. Five is a toss-up, but I'll say
- 1:30:35Two would be. Two would be Larry Fitzgerald.
- 1:30:41Okay, I agree. Three would be Roger Craig just
- 1:30:47because of the amount of time it took him to get in.
- 1:30:50Um, Then it's Harry is five for me, okay.
- 1:30:57Then it's been here is five but as a kicker and it's rare as a
- 1:31:01kicker or a punter that you have that much of an impact and
- 1:31:05vinery had it with two teams he had with the Patriots and the
- 1:31:07Colts hell he wanted to pay. He won the Patriots, two Super
- 1:31:10Bowls, right? Yeah.
- 1:31:11He was the only one of the three kickers that I've ever gotten in
- 1:31:14the other two or more in Anderson.
- 1:31:15I would I would you know and then the great thing was to have
- 1:31:19more Anderson. Yeah.
- 1:31:21Knock on that inventory store. That is that was great.
- 1:31:25That was great for me because I remember more Anderson.
- 1:31:28Morning Anderson was the first Quaker I saw kick at 60 yard
- 1:31:31field goal. Hit against the Bears in 1990 or
- 1:31:341991. I Beggin Park 91, but, no matter
- 1:31:40where you rank them, they all had their, they all had their
- 1:31:42impact because The the comparison that you drew that
- 1:31:48the comparison that I drew with Larry Fitzgerald, I compared to
- 1:31:51Jerry Rice. And I would take Fitzgerald over
- 1:31:54Randy Moss in an instant because Larry Fitzgerald can do
- 1:31:58something and I look, I love when watching Randy Moss play
- 1:32:02don't get it twisted but you know, I'm a 49er fan and what
- 1:32:06you 49ers receivers love to do block.
- 1:32:10You get the ball downfield with Larry Fitzgerald on it and Larry
- 1:32:13Fitzgerald. See somebody, he's gonna knock
- 1:32:15the heck out of him. Boy.
- 1:32:16Did he ever? And then he would pick you up
- 1:32:18and ask you how your mom, he would pick you up and ask you
- 1:32:23how you were feeling but during the play, he knocked the heck
- 1:32:26out of here. Close line here.
- 1:32:29That's where I love about receivers when when they get
- 1:32:32downfield and blocked because John Taylor did it for Jerry
- 1:32:35Rice for years and vice versa. And and the great thing about
- 1:32:39Larry Fitzgerald is he never dropped the ball.
- 1:32:41I don't even remember the last time, that's a great statue.
- 1:32:44He has more tackles in his career that he does.
- 1:32:46Drop path. It is unbelievable.
- 1:32:48How great his hands was. And he was a, what was he?
- 1:32:51The number one pick of the draft?
- 1:32:52The third pick third. Yeah, he was a high draft pick
- 1:32:55and I remember he came out of pit.
- 1:32:57I think it was. And he actually got his degree
- 1:32:59after that. Yeah, Arizona, yeah, yeah, I
- 1:33:02think it was online Arizona State or something like that,
- 1:33:05but it's so sad. It's so sad that Fitzgerald in
- 1:33:11his career but I was Super Bowl win.
- 1:33:12Yeah. Yeah.
- 1:33:13But he was one of the best playoff receivers ever.
- 1:33:16Well yeah. Oh yeah, it's it's sanded is he
- 1:33:20ended this grid without a Super Bowl win?
- 1:33:22But when that toe tap catch by Santonio Holmes happened, I had
- 1:33:27to pick my mouth up off, the floor as I was leaving a
- 1:33:29friend's place watching the thing.
- 1:33:30Yeah cuz I remember after that the jet signed him and he did
- 1:33:33absolutely nothing. But Brian think about it.
- 1:33:36Think about the run though before that all look really good
- 1:33:38teams had to go through Atlanta was great that year that was
- 1:33:40their first win. Caroline might have been the
- 1:33:42best team in the NFL that year when they became and then at
- 1:33:46that time, Caroline was something else.
- 1:33:48Yeah. Caroline.
- 1:33:50Caroline was something else they got and they got through
- 1:33:53Carolina. But yeah, those are those are my
- 1:33:56rankings. I may bring that I made green
- 1:33:58that question to my show tomorrow, but it's always, it's
- 1:34:03always fun chatting up with you when you unlock and when you
- 1:34:07when I saw the subject you were talking about Roger Craig has oh
- 1:34:09I gotta have a piece of this because I've said for years as
- 1:34:13long as they're on I have been buddies.
- 1:34:14Yes, you heard me. Say it all.
- 1:34:17Rodger. Craig needs to be in the Hall of
- 1:34:19Fame, period. Well.
- 1:34:23He's been, he's been out and about in San Francisco all week
- 1:34:27and enjoying his time, as everybody is celebrating his
- 1:34:30greatness and very well deserve it.
- 1:34:32And celebrating your greatness, man, because all the work and

- 1:34:47Yeah, four, four years. Now, I've been a part of
- 1:34:50worldwide sports radio, because I jumped back on full time after
- 1:34:53my surgery. Yes.
- 1:34:55The final The Following fall after I had a chance to to
- 1:34:57recover because I originally jumped on in 2020 while we were
- 1:35:01in North Carolina. Then I got then, I got bill and
- 1:35:03I take two years off, but for years worth, man, this is the
- 1:35:08partnership that's going to go for a long, long time.

- 1:35:14Thank you all for welcoming me. I really, I will talk to you
- 1:35:18tomorrow about the second hour. I can't wait.
- 1:35:20Yes, sir, my friend. Thanks for calling Brian.
- 1:35:23Snow ladies and gentlemen, I don't know.
- 1:35:25I I see the Snowman over there. I mean, ah, fish, you are
- 1:35:30painting my ass, you really are. And I want to give a shout out
- 1:35:33to Jabba because job has been traveling a lot and just happy
- 1:35:36that he's back with the crew. I know, you know, we've been
- 1:35:39back and forth text messaging but he's been obviously working
- 1:35:44with his son. His son's has a big season
- 1:35:47coming up and I'm excited for his son.
- 1:35:49I'm excited for him, and looking forward to all the success of
- 1:35:53his son in college and maybe professionally.
- 1:35:56So shout out to Java Chamberlain for, you know, being with us
- 1:35:59tonight and much more. We have a lot more show to go
- 1:36:02but Speedy your take on the Super Bowl.
- 1:36:05Yeah, I mean I'm sorry on the Hall of Fame.
- 1:36:06Yeah I have the same top two as you.
- 1:36:08I think Drew Brees definitely was number one.
- 1:36:10I like Brian was saying there's definitely at least two years
- 1:36:12you could have are definitely made the case that he was the
- 1:36:14MVP. I think 2011 definitely the
- 1:36:16biggest one when Aaron Rodgers got it and that's Saints off.
- 1:36:19I was so afraid of them that year.
- 1:36:21I was so happy. The Foreigner, beat them in the
- 1:36:23playoff. That year because the Giants
- 1:36:25would have probably got smoked by them in the NFC championship
- 1:36:27game. If they need to play that
- 1:36:28offense, it was the best offense in the NFL and Drew Brees.
- 1:36:30He was the most accurate when it comes to completion percentage
- 1:36:33season. I think he has like seven
- 1:36:35seasons over 70% complete percentage, even later in his
- 1:36:37career too is absolutely insane. I know Aaron Rodgers individual,
- 1:36:40I think collectively his whole career has a little better, but
- 1:36:42Drew Brees had some of the best single seasons and no brainer
- 1:36:46first about Larry Fitzgerald, I agree with you top three
- 1:36:48receiver did so many different things even later in his career
- 1:36:51when he wasn't like super fast but he was a great possession.
- 1:36:55Receiver even in with Kyle Murray there and later on in
- 1:36:58Bruce Arians hanging Carson Palmer had some really good
- 1:37:00Seasons to a really big influence on those Arizona teams
- 1:37:032015 Cardinals. I think probably even a better
- 1:37:05shot than the 2018 Cardinals to get into Super Bowl.
- 1:37:07This is just a shame that they just crumbled on the Strip for
- 1:37:09Caroline. I thought they were the better
- 1:37:10team but Larry Fitzgerald was not the reason why he was
- 1:37:12unbelievable. One of the best, probably the
- 1:37:15best player that did not win a ring and his numbers just
- 1:37:18unbelievable. Easily.
- 1:37:19First ballot, I say we were saying with Keithley definitely
- 1:37:22some questions. Is because the newer committee
- 1:37:24has to face these types of guys that I think he's a better
- 1:37:28player than Patrick was, they have to face the types of.
- 1:37:30I don't care what anybody says that retired early because
- 1:37:33there's a lot of them in the league.
- 1:37:34We talked about it with Calvin Johnson when he got in.
- 1:37:36He got in first ballot Patrick Willis got him first ballot they
- 1:37:38all retired relatively Calvin Johnson play ten years.
- 1:37:41So yeah, I'm just saying he's still retired at 31 years old,
- 1:37:45which at the time where there's not a lot of players that did
- 1:37:48they compared to a lot of these stars now that are doing it Joe
- 1:37:51Thomas, another one that retired 2017, he played he played
- 1:37:54probably played the same, like the Calvin Johnson, maybe a
- 1:37:57little more and he retired early and he was arguably the best
- 1:37:59tackle. This generation and same kind of
- 1:38:01thing with Kuechly, like you look at the inducted into all of
- 1:38:04him Joe Thomas. Yeah, he was recently he was two
- 1:38:06years ago, I think and he played, I think only one more
- 1:38:09year than Calvin Johnson dead and then Kiki Lee probably after
- 1:38:13Willis. Probably after Willis has those
- 1:38:15concussion issues towards the end of the career, phase into
- 1:38:17the best linebacker in football until he retired after that in
- 1:38:212019 and played with, like you said a lot.
- 1:38:23Of young players on that Panthers defense that a lot of
- 1:38:25good front seven. He was the leader of that
- 1:38:27defense. Yes.
- 1:38:27And he was arguably the best Zone coverage linebacker for a
- 1:38:30long time on that scheme and and that cover two scheme and did
- 1:38:34very well. And like we were talking about
- 1:38:36in the read off, 100 tackles pretty much every year was
- 1:38:38flying and adapted quickly to the NFL level when he He was one
- 1:38:47of those sideline. The sideline guys back in those
- 1:38:50days. Is you have the one linebacker
- 1:38:52in the middle for the Tampa 2 defense?
- 1:38:54And if it's a run play he has to run from sideline to sideline
- 1:38:57from the middle of the field. And if you had a guy like that,
- 1:39:00you could run that defense, you don't see a lot of that anymore.
- 1:39:02That Tampa too is kind of an older much older school thing
- 1:39:06but he was great at it and they were able to do a lot of things
- 1:39:09that other teams can do simply because he was on the field.
- 1:39:12I mean, I think they had like an older Julius Peppers came back
- 1:39:15to them. When he was there, they had the
- 1:39:17best linebacker core, it was him in Thomas, Davis, Thomas Davis,
- 1:39:21shot Thompson was the third guy on that Super Bowl team?
- 1:39:24They probably, I would say they had the best linebacking core
- 1:39:26and a whole leaf for and they were, they were just lights out
- 1:39:30and you're right, I remember it was like erlacher.
- 1:39:32Then it was the two guys that wasn't just what's his face in
- 1:39:37for the 49ers. And they also had Bowman who
- 1:39:42just had these terrible injuries but he was sick next time.
- 1:39:45They played that three four so they really Two different.
- 1:39:47I'm not sure it's pretty solid. So as a player they drafted who
- 1:39:51had one great season and any retired because he Borland.
- 1:39:55Yeah. Borland.
- 1:39:55Who everybody thought was, right?
- 1:39:57Yeah. Correct.
- 1:39:58And but I think like what Pleakley did was kind of more
- 1:40:01impressive. I agree with you Errol.
- 1:40:02I think you're playing that more Ray.
- 1:40:04Lewis style middle linebacker that he played as opposed to a
- 1:40:07three four guy. That's like, kind of, like, I
- 1:40:11don't know. Ray Lewis, just was constantly
- 1:40:12flying. It's not that didn't have
- 1:40:13another linebacker like Bart Scott inside with them.
- 1:40:15It's just one guy's flying. The other guys, blitzing.
- 1:40:17Well, it felt like with the 49ers, the Willis had they had
- 1:40:22two guys who could do both. So it was a little bit different
- 1:40:24than Keeley doing everything and I loved watching him play.
- 1:40:27I wouldn't I obviously I wouldn't rank him as high as you
- 1:40:31know, these top two guys, but I think I might go Fitzgerald over
- 1:40:34Breezy even because I think Fitzgerald was unbelievable.
- 1:40:37I I he was like the top guy coming out of high school.
- 1:40:41The top guy in college, the top guy, the top guy, the top guy,
- 1:40:45and there was never a time. He didn't rise.
- 1:40:47Up to those expectations. It's not surprising is going to
- 1:40:49be a great sportscaster sports writer.
- 1:40:51His father was a sports writer famously used to, you know, he
- 1:40:55was something I was very known when he was still playing how
- 1:40:57big is Dad was involved with his career as far as you know
- 1:41:00supporting him and then writing about him.
- 1:41:02I mean Breeze though he was six foot tall maybe maybe six he
- 1:41:08wasn't because I when I met Drew Brees well I didn't meet him but
- 1:41:11we were in the vicinity he was smaller than me and I'm five ten
- 1:41:14and a quarter as job. It would make a joke about so he
- 1:41:18was real short and like to be able to do what he did.
- 1:41:20They didn't think he could. That's why he felt his second
- 1:41:23round job. You like that, right?
- 1:41:24I was gonna let that one slide. I was gonna give you.
- 1:41:28Yeah, I'm sure you but the one why I think they're one B
- 1:41:36honestly is they both answered the Bell?
- 1:41:39They both answered the Bell here in Europe.
- 1:41:43And in both of those positions that's tough to say, I mean
- 1:41:46obviously Brett Favre answered the Bell but with some help.
- 1:41:49Well, if Santonio Holmes doesn't catch the toe tap touchdown in
- 1:41:53that Super Bowl, Fitzgerald's the MVP of this so easily.
- 1:41:55Yeah, Cheryl 50 was 40 something?
- 1:41:58Yeah. He caught like a skinny post to
- 1:42:02the house and by everybody with like two and a half minutes left
- 1:42:06to go I mean or maybe even less. Yeah I mean he should have been
- 1:42:10this MVP you know they said that they had no defense that's why I
- 1:42:13was a fun game to watch you know it's like it's just he was
- 1:42:16unbelievable. I thought he was I mean he did
- 1:42:21maybe he didn't stay Elite as long as you'd like, you know, as
- 1:42:24compared to like a guy, like Jerry Rice, who was still like
- 1:42:27an effective receiver. At the end of his career,
- 1:42:29Fitzgerald was not an effective receiver at the end of his.
- 1:42:31Well, again, hit when you once I think the game got a little
- 1:42:34faster to with a lot of those spread schemes and stuff like
- 1:42:36that. He had, you know.
- 1:42:38Yeah, but the Bruce Ariane scheme.
- 1:42:41He was still effective because he needed a bigger body
- 1:42:44possession guy, go to long with all those speed guys that they
- 1:42:46had one. Carson Palmer was there and they
- 1:42:47had John Brown and John Brown guys, like that, like stretch
- 1:42:51the field, all those little receivers and he had to be the
- 1:42:54big body guy so he still served a role even though.
- 1:42:56Yeah. Maybe his stats for an
- 1:42:58eye-popping towards the end of his career.
- 1:42:59He still was 700 800 yards. I will say this and the fact
- 1:43:02that Eli Manning is still not in the Hall of Fame.
- 1:43:04Is ridiculous. I, it doesn't make any sense.
- 1:43:07He did, you know, we've had this argument before though, too.
- 1:43:10It's like when it comes to part of the human element of this,
- 1:43:15it's going to happen like yeah, it's literally like we saw with
- 1:43:19the nvp, the dude that came out that voted for Herbert and
- 1:43:22however, it changed obviously what what could have happened
- 1:43:25between staff and Drake make, but When there's a human
- 1:43:29element, it may be some dude that Eli shunned.
- 1:43:32That gets a vote. But that's going to always play
- 1:43:36a part of it. When it comes down to this,
- 1:43:38because listening, these Hall of Fame, guys, I don't like, Your
- 1:43:42your stats don't change. So what the hell am I now in the
- 1:43:46Hall of Famer in year five that I wasn't all famous near, I
- 1:43:50think it might change its just the people that are around me.
- 1:43:53Yeah the only stats that change in the last few years has been.
- 1:43:56There's new Sac data. So there's my think it's a
- 1:43:59complexity, you're stats. I also think it's a computer to
- 1:44:06Advanced analytics. I get that but it stays the
- 1:44:09same. I also think you can carry that.
- 1:44:13I do believe that every single year, there is another guy
- 1:44:17that's up and they look at that player to be like Drew Brees.
- 1:44:20If Drew Brees wasn't going to the Hall of Fame, they probably
- 1:44:23pick Eli Manning to be the quarter.
- 1:44:26So how does how does Philip Rivers going back affect this
- 1:44:29class? Oh, Immense.
- 1:44:31Well, next year's class because Ben Roethlisberger for this
- 1:44:35class, okay? So, you know, because he went
- 1:44:38back. So now he has to wait, five
- 1:44:39years so bad, he would have been for this class.
- 1:44:41So Ben is going to be out next year.
- 1:44:44And I think what they're gonna do is they're gonna put Ben and
- 1:44:47Eli Manning in. They're gonna say that Ben is
- 1:44:50the first ballot Hall of Famer because he has a two-time MVP
- 1:44:53and as far as Super Bowl MVP, but I think his accomplishments
- 1:44:57in the regular season where a little bit better than Eli.
- 1:45:00So they're going to look at his stats though.
- 1:45:03You're gonna see Eli has better overall career stats significant
- 1:45:07amount. Nobody's gonna take your your
- 1:45:10take to be. Yeah, he was you the last bunch
- 1:45:12of years worse than Eli was but you you would you you would say
- 1:45:15that because you're a giant fan and I know and you know that
- 1:45:18when you were talking about rivers like, I don't know, I
- 1:45:21might have been a year ago. We've compared all three of
- 1:45:23their stats route. To Burger was clearly third
- 1:45:25behind the two of those. If you didn't count Super Bowls,
- 1:45:28if you count Super Bowls and Super Bowl MVPs, Guys, got two
- 1:45:31of those also and I and I would say Eli had zero rape charges
- 1:45:35against him and allegations as well.
- 1:45:37And I think that the voters, you know, the voters, the media
- 1:45:41voters are going to remember that if they're going to punish
- 1:45:44crafts for his, you know, by the way, you see politics
- 1:45:47girlfriend, with the orchids orchids of Asia shirt on during
- 1:45:50the Super Bowl. Did you see that know that she
- 1:45:52had a custom-made? You know, craft the massage
- 1:45:56parlor shirt that she wore during the Super Bowl?
- 1:45:59I will be. Yes, I wouldn't doubt it because
- 1:46:01obviously I believe it was Robert.
- 1:46:03Kraft, this one that is the one that kept him out of the Hall of
- 1:46:06Fame. You think the two of them
- 1:46:08canceled each other out? No, I don't I think Robert Kraft
- 1:46:11didn't go in because you're not putting an owner and as a first
- 1:46:14ballot Hall of Fame. I don't care how much success.
- 1:46:16He's not. The one that won those
- 1:46:17championships. They both have to go in at the
- 1:46:20same time not first about know and if they put Robert Kraft in
- 1:46:23at the same time as Bill Belichick, the committee is a
- 1:46:27bunch of idiots because to me it was Bill.
- 1:46:31To check that built this organization.
- 1:46:32He was the GM. He was The Mastermind.
- 1:46:34He was the personality, he was the voice of this organization.
- 1:46:37Not Robert Kraft or Robert. Kraft did was steal him from the
- 1:46:40New York Jets in 24 hours. That's all he did everything
- 1:46:44else. And honestly, if you think about
- 1:46:46why Bill Belichick, left the New York Jets, because he didn't
- 1:46:49trust Woody, Woody Johnson. And now, now you see the back
- 1:46:52end of this whole story. And now how Robert Kraft pretty
- 1:46:55much laid this smacketh on Bill, Belichick on why he couldn't
- 1:46:59stay there anymore, or he had to walk away from the New England
- 1:47:02Patriots and did get that job with the Atlanta Falcons.
- 1:47:04He was the biggest backstabber of them all.
- 1:47:06I think he should have stayed with what he Johnson, because at
- 1:47:09least Woody, Johnson, probably wouldn't have done this to him.
- 1:47:12I mean, Robert Kraft thinks that he's The Mastermind, he thinks
- 1:47:15he's everything to the New England Patriots, and now, after
- 1:47:18going to the Super Bowl, if could you imagine if the
- 1:47:20Patriots won the Super Bowl this year?
- 1:47:21How much, how, you know, to me his personality and who he
- 1:47:26thinks he is, I would have taken it to an all-time high.
- 1:47:29Oh, look, what we Did with a new coach and a Young quarterback.
- 1:47:33I mean, this is typical Robert Kraft fashion and and he was
- 1:47:38breaking about it. All season, all all weekend, all
- 1:47:41week, long dancing, with cardi, B showing up to all these stupid
- 1:47:44events. He's an, how do you like his
- 1:47:47dance moves? Oh yeah, it's horrible.
- 1:47:49I mean it's evil people were making comments, that it was
- 1:47:53very strange. She strange, too.
- 1:47:55She was dancing with a robot on TMZ or whatever.
- 1:47:58She was trying to do. Judge trying to back there.
- 1:48:00Her thing up on a robot. I mean, she's a weirdo too, that
- 1:48:04whole organization's weird. All right, I told him to say,
- 1:48:08before we wrap this one up, there was something that came
- 1:48:12out that because of all of this uproar that they're going to
- 1:48:15look at a way to possibly change the voting, and I have a list of
- 1:48:18things they're looking at to change.
- 1:48:20They haven't done in-person voting since covid.
- 1:48:23So they were talking about going back to in-person voting, so you
- 1:48:26can't be like a coward and tough type, and hide your keyboards.
- 1:48:31They want to separate coaches, and contributors.
- 1:48:33So they want to group coaches, and contributors differently,
- 1:48:38which led to snubbing some major candidates, they want more
- 1:48:42transparency. So you got to release the votes
- 1:48:44in the ballots to the public. So, you're not, you know, just
- 1:48:48like voting for. I mean, someone like the MVP.
- 1:48:51People, someone voted for Justin her.
- 1:48:52Why can't the, you know, to me? I think the players should have
- 1:48:56a voice, they should be All vote.
- 1:48:58They should all get a chance to vote and it should be equal to
- 1:49:01one big vote. I think they don't want that.
- 1:49:04They're not even asked, that's what I just don't want to vote
- 1:49:07because I'm just watch the games.
- 1:49:09I'm just I'm just setting but they played against these
- 1:49:11coaches and they played against these players.
- 1:49:13So that's my opinion. I think that all the players
- 1:49:16should get a vote of a particular and then they see how
- 1:49:19it rates. And and they take that guy or
- 1:49:21they give him that one vote or first ballot votes and and I
- 1:49:24think the fan should have a chance to make that choice of
- 1:49:27voting as well. So, would you, would you do like
- 1:49:29a, like a panel of players and they get one vote?
- 1:49:33Yes. And then, obviously it doesn't
- 1:49:35count as one vote, but you do a percentage and then you see
- 1:49:39whoever wins that percentage. But like the player like the
- 1:49:42players vote counts for 33% of the fan vote counts for like
- 1:49:4520%, right of the panel vote counts for 50% you know like
- 1:49:50whatever you come up with, it's not just this like elitist
- 1:49:54group, you know, and they had, that's one of the things,
- 1:49:56there's two more things are The changes they may include
- 1:49:58changing helmet how this committee is made, whether it's
- 1:50:02going to be more, you know, Sports historians and GM types.
- 1:50:05Or if it's more, you know, a fan type deal.
- 1:50:08And then they, they said they're going to move the vote closer to
- 1:50:11the NFL honors because they didn't like all the leaks coming
- 1:50:14out. That Belichick didn't make it
- 1:50:16early that Eli, didn't make it early.
- 1:50:18That's the video upset about that.
- 1:50:19And that's another thing. Why do the media's get the media
- 1:50:22people and the writers get an opportunity to have a voice on
- 1:50:24it and not the players. They're the ones that cover it
- 1:50:28daily. All right, and we covered too.
- 1:50:30So why can't we have a vote? moving that direction to because
- 1:50:36they're, there's so many more people that are listening to our
- 1:50:41Avenues more so than reading print and the big like you know
- 1:50:45the post and all the other stuff like I think it's moving that
- 1:50:48direction will That group of whatever you want to call them,
- 1:50:54ever, give that right up. I don't, I don't think they ever
- 1:50:57will. I think it's a big problem, and,
- 1:51:01and again, the NFL, I don't, like, who's running the
- 1:51:05organization and over the last couple of years, when you see,
- 1:51:08these different rule changes and, and, and and, and, and
- 1:51:11obviously, the referees. I've been a big problem with the
- 1:51:15NFL, it's all sports, but in big games, especially when it comes
- 1:51:19to bets and prop bets and obviously Vegas.
- 1:51:22I'm gonna tell you this right now.
- 1:51:24If you didn't see some things that happen in that game last
- 1:51:28night to be a problem and might have hurt, obviously, the
- 1:51:31bedding and the sports betting that I don't know what, I'm not
- 1:51:34gonna mention. If you watch the game, you know
- 1:51:36what I'm talking about. It's actually in the fourth
- 1:51:38quarter. So I just thought there was a
- 1:51:40lot of things that happened in that game that kind of make you
- 1:51:42shake that. The one thing I could say is the
- 1:51:45refs were not calling penalties that much in the game.
- 1:51:48They kind of let the game go. So but there was a punch in the
- 1:51:51face. They like go on the sidelines.
- 1:51:53Yeah. Well, it was a job Joe sticks.
- 1:51:57Punched in the face and not that anyone was Like feeling bad for
- 1:52:00days necessarily, but that guy should have probably been
- 1:52:04injected for that. No, let me give you the guys
- 1:52:07that are still. That the finalists that didn't
- 1:52:09make, by the way. Do you think that do you believe
- 1:52:12that Cooper couple hit the ground because I didn't looks
- 1:52:15like it did for a second, like barely like graze that.
- 1:52:19I thought it touched it, but it doesn't really matter, you know,
- 1:52:23it just saying that would be the first out, maybe a touchdown and
- 1:52:26probably ends the game quicker. Well, maybe so listen, I'm just
- 1:52:30saying Terrell Suggs is still not Hall of Famer Marshal.
- 1:52:34Yanda is still not a Hall of Famer.
- 1:52:38Reggie Wayne and Tory. Holt are not Hall of Famers
- 1:52:41Reggie Reggie. Yeah, he's not yet.
- 1:52:45Wow. Well you also played he also
- 1:52:47play with Marvin Harrison and Clark.
- 1:52:49I mean yeah, we're talking about who's getting in.
- 1:52:53Yeah, who's getting snubbed like Marshall and was the best guard
- 1:52:57for decade in the league. How many quarts are in the Hall
- 1:53:00of Fame? That's, that's what I'm saying.
- 1:53:01Good question, yes. I don't think a lot.
- 1:53:03Not a lot from this generation right now.
- 1:53:05A lot of them from the 80s and the 90s would be.
- 1:53:08I think there's only like three centers.
- 1:53:09I wish there was a rule that you had to induct the offensive
- 1:53:13lineman of some type every year because I feel like they just
- 1:53:16don't, cuz nobody knows who they are.
- 1:53:18They don't watch lineman play. Why are you even asking some of
- 1:53:22these receiver types to tell to tell us who the best line in
- 1:53:26our, they've never practiced alignment technique in their
- 1:53:29entire lives. Well, you know they're not
- 1:53:31passed setting. You know what I mean?
- 1:53:33Like, when are they ever going to pass that as receivers?
- 1:53:36They don't know what to what they're looking at.
- 1:53:38They didn't have to go up against these guys.
- 1:53:40They have to face, Dexter. Lawrence.
- 1:53:43You know, like there should be a guy that gets in every year
- 1:53:46there should be a lineman from both sides of the ball.
- 1:53:48It should just be mandatory. One guy from the line, one guy
- 1:53:52from the second level and one guy from the third level,
- 1:53:55whether that means one guy in the backfield on offense and one
- 1:53:59receiver and and then what, you know what have you I don't know,
- 1:54:03I just feel to me. It just feels like they're doing
- 1:54:05it wrong and I hope they figure it out but you know, gadel runs
- 1:54:08it. So it's probably not going to go
- 1:54:11how anybody wants it. So very interesting, I mean if
- 1:54:15you're if you're a football fan and you want to be not you want
- 1:54:19to have the opportunity to vote. I think that the NFL should give
- 1:54:22the fans a vote that the fans should be eligible to vote for
- 1:54:27whoever they want and then they have a percentage, they get 20%
- 1:54:30of the vote and I think it makes a lot of sense.
- 1:54:32It'll open up an opportunity for fans to be in tune and younger.
- 1:54:37The younger generation of fans that are into fantasy and sports
- 1:54:40and all that other stuff, they'll get an opportunity to
- 1:54:43actually put their their takeout and give their opinion out in
- 1:54:47the future of the future, for hall of fame's, Hall of Famers.
- 1:54:51So I think that makes more sense, but that's just my
- 1:54:54opinion. Anyways, my Golf Club of the
- 1:54:56week. It is deserves a gulf Clan.
- 1:55:00No doubt. Clap Gulf Clan.
- 1:55:04Well, ladies and gentlemen, I don't know if this is a golf
- 1:55:06clap, but it's definitely. Somebody needs to be bitch
- 1:55:09smacked because and he probably will, when he goes to jail, uh,
- 1:55:13terrible, terrible story. That came out during the Super
- 1:55:17Bowl week. Darren Lee is up for a homicide
- 1:55:23and I I kind of shrugged my shoulders because it's typical
- 1:55:28New York Jet fashion where you're these guys, or even New
- 1:55:32York. Fashion at these guys are in the
- 1:55:33tabloids or something has gone wrong with these guys.
- 1:55:37After they leave the sport a football.
- 1:55:39Well, lie. According to police reports was
- 1:55:44present at the time and told the law and force law enforcement
- 1:55:49that the woman had been unconscious on the couch,
- 1:55:52possibly, as a result for falling in the shower.
- 1:55:56Could you believe this man? Had to audacity to say that his
- 1:56:00girlfriend fell in the shower and he picked her up and he put
- 1:56:03her on a couch and they called the police.
- 1:56:04As you know, as the police tried to revive her and give her CPR
- 1:56:08and announced her to be dead. They realized that she had
- 1:56:12bruises all over her body including her face and realized
- 1:56:16that was a homicide and Darren Darren Lee.
- 1:56:20Was arrested and now is going to be up for murder first degree
- 1:56:24murder. It's a horrible.
- 1:56:25Horrible story. And again, I, I'm not saying
- 1:56:29it's a Jets or you can see, I'm not blaming the Jets for
- 1:56:31somebody trying to murder somebody, but it just to me when
- 1:56:35you look at organizations, do you ever see an organization?
- 1:56:38Like, I'm just saying, I like the big organizations and I'm,
- 1:56:43I, I even the 49ers, let's say, because I've seen the Giants
- 1:56:46we've seen domestic violence with the Giants with brown.
- 1:56:49We've seen Pittsburgh the Pittsburgh Steelers win, Antonio
- 1:56:53Brown, as we all know that story and Leafeon Bell.
- 1:56:56So in the Jets there all, so an organization, The Bangles too,
- 1:57:00Pac-Man, Jones with all his abuse and, and Vince Young.
- 1:57:05We all know the Vince Young story with the strip bars and
- 1:57:09Ravens, Ray Rice, Ray Rice, another one.
- 1:57:11I mean, the Dallas, the Dallas Cowboys.
- 1:57:14How many Dallas Cowboys have been with domestic violence?
- 1:57:17I mean the hearty Raiders. Yeah.
- 1:57:20I mean it just it keeps on going and going, why isn't the NFL
- 1:57:24stepping in now? A lot of these players now, the
- 1:57:26NFL after they leave the sport of and I was talking, by the
- 1:57:30way, shout out to Quinton copals.
- 1:57:31I was speaking to him today and had a great conversation with
- 1:57:34him and I brought up Darren Lee and the situation because he
- 1:57:39never played with Darren Lee. But it was that he was back.
- 1:57:41He was there after Darren Lee but he said he kind of knew the
- 1:57:45guy. He said that the problem here
- 1:57:47with the NFL and the thought of the way, the NFL is moving is,
- 1:57:51they've always brushed things onto the rock.
- 1:57:53They, they don't take care of the players after they leave the
- 1:57:56sport and they find ways to not help players with the mental
- 1:58:01issues that they have. Now Darren Lee had mental
- 1:58:04issues, when he was in the NFL. As a matter of fact, if I'm not
- 1:58:08mistaken I think he was bipolar. The Jets obviously discovered
- 1:58:12that later in his career he was he was a jet for a very short
- 1:58:16time. He went to Kansas City.
- 1:58:17Did win a Super Bowl? He was on that roster when they
- 1:58:19won the Super Bowl but Really didn't play a big part of their
- 1:58:22Fifth Line. Yeah.
- 1:58:22So I, this is a horrible story. I feel bad for the, the family
- 1:58:27of the victim. And, you know, it just tells me
- 1:58:31one thing that the NFL is not helping out these players after
- 1:58:34they leave the sport. Now again, I'm not blaming the
- 1:58:37NFL on this, I'm not. This is not the NFL's fault that
- 1:58:40this guy went on a rampage and killed his girlfriend.
- 1:58:43It just, I think that if the NFL was more connected to the
- 1:58:47players after they left the sport, maybe these things
- 1:58:50wouldn't be happening as much and it's been going on, not only
- 1:58:53with the players in the sport but after they leave the sport
- 1:58:56with CTE and and some of the dynamic things are and I say
- 1:59:00Dynamic things because I the the stories that you're hearing
- 1:59:03after the fact, what they're doing and murdering people and
- 1:59:07killing themselves and killing their families.
- 1:59:09It's just a horrible horrible thing.
- 1:59:11So I wouldn't call this my golf club, but it is definitely
- 1:59:13something. I, I think this man should be
- 1:59:16bitch, smacked and he might get bitch smacked when he gets
- 1:59:19sentence for life. In prison and prison, and a
- 1:59:22terrible story, but hopefully the victims family.
- 1:59:28You know, he's a, you know, is a part of the, the whole
- 1:59:31interrogation and all the the crap that is going to be coming
- 1:59:35for Darren Lee. So that is my Golf Club of the
- 1:59:38day, so I'll give her the golf club.
- 1:59:39I don't want to give it a golf clap because it makes me makes
- 1:59:42me sick to my stomach but typical New York Jets fashion.
- 1:59:45Ah it's a horrible story. Anyways.
- 1:59:49Anyways when we come back we've had this guy on a show.
- 1:59:52He's been on our show before actually interview him for the
- 1:59:55first time at the Super Bowl last year and now, he's a free
- 1:59:59agent and he is a free agent that somebody here in New York
- 2:00:03should bring in and includes the New York Jets in New York
- 2:00:06Giants. But when we come back, we will
- 2:00:09be talking a free agent NFL defensive tackle Adam gotsis,
- 2:00:13but first, we got the Sportsman with the fish.
- 2:00:17Right. This is the Java and the mouth
- 2:00:20Sportsman is what is going on everybody?
- 2:00:25Aaron Fishman here with your Sportsman, got a couple of
- 2:00:27stories before we go through the scores, this evening, the Red
- 2:00:31Sox and Yankees are making a trade.
- 2:00:33Well, not exactly, but the Red Sox did acquire one time,
- 2:00:36Yankees Prospect, Caleb Durbin Monday from the Milwaukee
- 2:00:39Brewers in a multiplayer deal. That brings the third place
- 2:00:42finisher for NFL Rookie of the Year to the AL East franchise.
- 2:00:46In need of infield, help after trading away, long-time
- 2:00:48starfields last year and being unable to resign, third baseman,
- 2:00:52Alex, bregman. This offseason before we left
- 2:00:55for the Cubs in return for Durban, who is a third, baseman,
- 2:00:58but can all play second, the Red Sox traded Lefty Kyle, Hamilton
- 2:01:01lightning speed in Fielder, David Hamilton and Lefty.
- 2:01:05Shane Drohan the infield. Prospects Marcelo mayor and
- 2:01:10Christian Campbell were unable to stay healthy or affective
- 2:01:13last year and the Red Sox win for dervin the one time second,
- 2:01:16baseman of the future for the Yankees, who was moved in an
- 2:01:20ill-fated trade for now. Bygone reliever Devin Williams,
- 2:01:23who left this off season, for the cross town rival Mets.
- 2:01:26And as the Red Sox, keep improving the team.
- 2:01:28The Yankees continue to stay Pat.
- 2:01:30And now we'll have to face one of their own in the division
- 2:01:33that they mistakenly gave up on for the foreseeable future.
- 2:01:37Houston Rocket Center, alperin. Sengun apologized in the media
- 2:01:41on Saturday and apparently right after the game to female referee
- 2:01:44Jenna Reno sangun who called Reno another name, for a female

- 2:01:51the Rockets 11493 lost last Wednesday to the Celtics.
- 2:01:55After the Rockets the road went on Saturday against the Thunder
- 2:01:58sanguine apologized for his Antics, a few days earlier that
- 2:02:02was immature by me that was just in the moment and I said some
- 2:02:06stuff I shouldn't say but I felt bad about it.
- 2:02:08Sometimes you can't control yourself but I should have known
- 2:02:11better, but I fixed it. And I went to the locker room
- 2:02:13and I apologize. I shake her hand and I said that
- 2:02:16would never happen again. It just happened in the Heat of
- 2:02:18the Moment, then she understood and it was good on both ends.

- 2:05:13Yes. Adam.
- 2:05:14What's up my friends? Yeah, got you.
- 2:05:16All right Adam. So we had Chris Collier on the
- 2:05:20show and he knows a little bit about you, his great kid.
- 2:05:23He's from Long Island, New York from Hempstead.
- 2:05:25He has an unbelievable story, kind of like your story coming
- 2:05:29from Australia and getting your opportunity to play in the NFL.
- 2:05:32I when you look at the NFL and some of the guys that have
- 2:05:36slowly but surely have made it into the NFL and only one out of
- 2:05:41every 200 feet. 50 people get a chance to play in the NFL.
- 2:05:44How hard is it to get into the NFL?
- 2:05:46Yeah, I mean, it's tough, you know, a lot of luck on your side
- 2:05:50but you got it. You go to fit the measurables
- 2:05:53that they looking for. You go to have the numbers, you
- 2:05:55go to have A bit of that pedigree that you develop in
- 2:05:58college, but outside of that, you know, Aussies have been
- 2:06:01pretty blessed with kind of going through that Pathways
- 2:06:04program. A lot of them are those special
- 2:06:07type athletes that are punters specific, you know, positions
- 2:06:11specific guys. But if you're just a regular
- 2:06:14alignment or, you know, d-line or wide receiver defensive back,
- 2:06:18I mean, there's only so many spots and, you know, just with
- 2:06:22the NFL you got tenured guys, like I'm a 10-year guy.
- 2:06:25You've got a guys on the team that are playing.
- 2:06:29Eight plus years. so, it's like, You know, you go to, you go to
- 2:06:34bring something that an organization is willing to say,
- 2:06:38well, we're going to let go this better and guy take a shot on
- 2:06:41this young guy and we see something in the talent there
- 2:06:44that we can develop or, you know, he's gonna come in and and
- 2:06:48add something straight away to the to the team and make the
- 2:06:51team a better team. If not, it's really hard and
- 2:06:55then outside of those guys that are coming out of college,
- 2:06:57you've got now guys in the Uso, you've probably got a few guys
- 2:07:01in the CFL that are coming over five, ten guys that are trying
- 2:07:04to get over and then you've got, I'd say 100 100, 150, probably
- 2:07:09free agent. You know, guys that are sitting
- 2:07:12there waiting for a call this year to get onto a roster.
- 2:07:15So it is really tough and then You know, a few things the NFL
- 2:07:20has done is, you know, made the practice, squads bigger.
- 2:07:23They've, you know, added a couple more spots there that you
- 2:07:26can, you know, hold guys on the team for, but to be on that
- 2:07:29active 53, it's really hard. Yeah, I'm gonna say you've spent
- 2:07:34most of the time this year, with the practice squad with the
- 2:07:36Buccaneers learning from a lot of those defensive tackles feet
- 2:07:38of air kalijah. Can't see all who got hurt.
- 2:07:40Unfortunately, but all very good.
- 2:07:41All very good guys, and like you bumping around many different
- 2:07:44teams going from the Broncos to the Jags.
- 2:07:45Like what advice would you give to some of?
- 2:07:47These are younger players getting drafted this year too
- 2:07:49and like how the practice squad works and being a journeyman
- 2:07:53like you? Yeah, yeah.
- 2:07:54Um, this year was probably my first year really being a
- 2:07:58practice squad type guy. Um, you know, every year of
- 2:08:01being a guy that's been able to come in play, you know, my first
- 2:08:05four years, I was drafted. So you kind of have a bit of a
- 2:08:09buffer. And in terms of getting to the
- 2:08:11level, they need you to, and being able to produce and have
- 2:08:14actual numbers, you know, being a drafted guy, you're probably
- 2:08:16gonna get some opportunities that I'm drop.
- 2:08:18To God doesn't have. And then, when I came to
- 2:08:21Jackson, will you know, I was basically on one year contracts,
- 2:08:24but I played four years there. So, you know, I thought, like,
- 2:08:27every year I could continue to increase my value and help the
- 2:08:30team build and get get to a better spot.
- 2:08:32So, really coming into this year, was kind of the year that
- 2:08:36it was tough but being a practice squad guy, you gotta
- 2:08:41come out there and your game time is during the week.
- 2:08:44You know. And the way I looked at it being
- 2:08:46a veteran guy being on the practice squad is I can kind of
- 2:08:49take a bit of ownership of that unit, you know, being a young
- 2:08:52guy that's probably gonna be on practice squad, you're just
- 2:08:54trying to find your feet still you know, you're still Taking in
- 2:08:58all the information that they're giving you from a gameplay
- 2:09:00perspective. But it's also realizing that,
- 2:09:02hey, I'm not dressing on Saturday or on Sundays, but I
- 2:09:06got to get the guys that are dressing, the best look
- 2:09:08possible. So, you know, I kind of took it
- 2:09:11on myself to really try and be a leader on that, that unit and
- 2:09:14say, well you know what, even though I'm not playing this
- 2:09:17Sunday, my time's going to come at some point.
- 2:09:20So, let me get Tristan's, ready. Let me get Luke ready.
- 2:09:24Let me, let me get the starting line ready for what they're
- 2:09:27going to see. So most of the time, the
- 2:09:29highlighted detachable, or if it's a DN guy that it's going to
- 2:09:32be an impact player. I've just been like, put me in
- 2:09:34that Jersey. I'll watch the cut up something
- 2:09:37that they show us, and then, you know, trying to emulate him.
- 2:09:40The best. I can to get these guys ready
- 2:09:42for what they're going to see on Sunday.
- 2:09:43And, you know, I take my hats off to the guys that were on
- 2:09:46practice. God with me.
- 2:09:47I thought like we did a pretty good job.
- 2:09:49You know, I feel like during the season, Um the online didn't
- 2:09:53give up too many sacks. And a lot of that was you know
- 2:09:55Baker creating things and doing things but from a straight just
- 2:09:58getting beat standpoint. I felt like we had a pretty good
- 2:10:01plan for that and in terms of giving the looks up front of
- 2:10:04what they're going to get. I feel like we did a pretty good
- 2:10:06job with that but um yeah that's what I took my pride and I said
- 2:10:09I'm going up against the Pro Bowl left tackle, you know every
- 2:10:13day at practice so I'm gonna give him the best look he can
- 2:10:15because when he wins and team wins, I still win, you know when
- 2:10:20we go if we go to the playoffs and we make a run in the
- 2:10:22playoffs, who knows what's going to happen to that point but I'm
- 2:10:25getting this guy ready to be, you know, the best that he can
- 2:10:29and try and give him the best. Looks that he can have before
- 2:10:32the game Sunday. So, you know, it's about being
- 2:10:36the guy when you need to be the guy.
- 2:10:38Okay, he needs to get a couple good pass rush reps against him
- 2:10:41being out in the Run game, not just being a blocking me out
- 2:10:44there, but actually emulating, what God's are gonna do
- 2:10:47splitting, double teams, things like that, you know, that's all
- 2:10:49part of it because come Sunday, you know, going against the guy,
- 2:10:53who's your teammate, you going against the guy who's, you know,
- 2:10:56trying to embarrass you on TV and and go make plays.
- 2:10:59So the more I can give those guys that feeling without, you
- 2:11:03know, really breaking him down too much or, you know, going and
- 2:11:06doing my own thing and and getting away from the scouted
- 2:11:10look of what they want. You know, it's just getting
- 2:11:13ready to play. First of all, Adam, I want to
- 2:11:17say. You have an amazing birthday.
- 2:11:18Yeah, an amazing for that. I appreciate that.
- 2:11:22Yeah, great birthday. I mean, great people have great
- 2:11:25birthdays. I just, you know, that's just
- 2:11:27the way that job. No, I wanted to touch on
- 2:11:34something because I you're a tenured guy. and the way that,
- 2:11:40You sound like you approach, going to the practice squad.
- 2:11:42It's kind of like us going to the minor league Like what kept
- 2:11:46you in the mind frame of like I still have to be the best.
- 2:11:49I can even though that I'm not on that 53 because that's tough.
- 2:11:53When you play, you know, you played as long as you had and
- 2:11:56then to be full-time on the practice squad and still have
- 2:11:59the mentality of, like, I still have to get better because this
- 2:12:02dude has to get better. That's that's a tough to swallow
- 2:12:05for some people that have played that long and have to realize
- 2:12:08like, hey, I still have to get better because if I still want
- 2:12:11to play this game, I can't just be a blocking dummy.
- 2:12:13Yeah, 100%. Um, you know, and it's, it's
- 2:12:17putting the ego to the side and that's something that, you know,
- 2:12:20can really hurt you in this game.
- 2:12:21Is your own ego, you know, thinking you're better than what
- 2:12:25you are. And pretty much every player is
- 2:12:27going to think that at some point, but we're all human.
- 2:12:30We're all made mistakes out there, but it's, you know, it's
- 2:12:33understanding where I'm at. In this moment, this at this
- 2:12:36moment, they want me being this practice called God.
- 2:12:39I want me helping to develop the young guys and making sure
- 2:12:41they're on this stuff. Making sure they are lines,
- 2:12:43ready to play. And it was you know, the first
- 2:12:46few weeks that, you know, I was on the practice squad, it was
- 2:12:50kind of just like, I didn't know how to practice because I've
- 2:12:53always been on like an active roster so it's like, Do I just
- 2:12:58like, do what the cards telling me to do like?
- 2:12:59Okay, I'm the D tackle go straight or, you know, I'm
- 2:13:03slanting inside and tell us break it down, what's the
- 2:13:06difference, like? Because you've seen both sides
- 2:13:08of it, so everybody that's listening and what understand
- 2:13:12what the different perspectives from active.
- 2:13:14And yeah, so basically, if you're on that active roster,
- 2:13:17you're on the 53 or, you know, you'll want to start on the team
- 2:13:21will say, because even if you're on the 53, you still might be
- 2:13:24giving the scout team looks. So you know, if you're one of
- 2:13:28the starters, you're not really going out there and you know,
- 2:13:32doing the scout team for the offense and if you're an
- 2:13:36offensive starter you know you're not going to have Tristan
- 2:13:38out there playing left tackle. For our starting defense
- 2:13:42throughout the week. So, you know, you've got
- 2:13:44basically, it's probably about 35 guys that are like there are
- 2:13:49on offense defense or special teams and that's what they do at
- 2:13:52practice that, you know, that the actual like starting Rats,
- 2:13:55the rest of the guys it's like we're going to have a bunch of
- 2:13:58guys filling in, you know, on the scout team for the offense
- 2:14:02and that that that's the guys that give the look for our
- 2:14:05starting defense. And then you've got a bunch of
- 2:14:07guys that are doing the scout team defense who give the look
- 2:14:10for the offense and in that you'll gonna have You know, the
- 2:14:15offensive one of the offensive quality control, guys, or maybe
- 2:14:18an assistant online coach, they have the drawn up cards.
- 2:14:21They've got like, basically what the formations going to look
- 2:14:24like on offense and then they've drawn in where they want the
- 2:14:28defense to line up. So, you know, it's it's getting
- 2:14:31the looks that they're going to get in the game.
- 2:14:32Whether it's, you know, first, second down, third down, Blitz,
- 2:14:37periods, things like that, you know, goal lines, they putting
- 2:14:40us in all the situations and they're putting you where they
- 2:14:42want you to line up. So you know, some teams are four
- 2:14:46down front. So we're going to have, you
- 2:14:48know, four bigs in the game or some of them are three, three
- 2:14:52four. So it's more three, bigs two
- 2:14:54outside backers and you know, so it's basically just like getting
- 2:14:58those looks, you know, for the offense and and the offense for
- 2:15:02the defense. But yeah, it's really you just
- 2:15:05gotta swallow your pride. You go to realize like shooting,
- 2:15:07even though I'm out here I'm not running out defense per se like
- 2:15:11when we play the Saints, you know, we're running the Saints
- 2:15:13defense. So when we play the Panthers,
- 2:15:15I'm one of the Interior Design from the path is that way, you
- 2:15:19know, some places, they'll put a bib on you.
- 2:15:22So it's like, you know, I've got number 90 on this week or
- 2:15:25something or things like that. But you know, you just got to
- 2:15:28take pride in where you're at and you never know when your
- 2:15:31numbers gonna be called, you never know when I can get
- 2:15:33injured. So, if you're sitting there,
- 2:15:35just going through the motions, you know, it's probably gonna,
- 2:15:38you know, bite you in the ass when it comes time to, you know,
- 2:15:41your number being called and you're like, well, shoot up
- 2:15:43being BS and for the last, you know, Month or so having been
- 2:15:49working on my craft things like that, it's gonna come back and
- 2:15:51get you. So, you know, for me, it was
- 2:15:53just like, let's go out here, let's work, let's put this, you
- 2:15:56know. Put these reps out there and
- 2:15:59then, you know, it can also be a way of getting promoted too.
- 2:16:02So you know, if I'm out there and, you know, I'm bulshit and
- 2:16:05they're going to cut me and say we can get anyone to come out
- 2:16:08here and bulshit. But if I'm out there and I'm
- 2:16:11working, the starting line eventually, the coach is
- 2:16:13probably going to say, hey, we need to take a look at this guy,
- 2:16:15you know, he's doing this to our own, you know what's going to be
- 2:16:19like when, you know, he's he gets in the gang.
- 2:16:22So, You know it's a bunch of bunch of different things like
- 2:16:25that where you know you want to show up but you also go to
- 2:16:30follow what the looks that they want.
- 2:16:32So you know if I've got guys that are you know, let's just
- 2:16:36say, We're playing the Saints. They're a bit more of a
- 2:16:40three-four times, might be a full three at times.
- 2:16:43So you know how what are their techniques are they like
- 2:16:46grinding? You know, the alignment not
- 2:16:48letting him get to the second level or are they going to be
- 2:16:50guys that are just trying to get vertical swim, you know,
- 2:16:53anything to get in the backfield and it's like you kind of got to
- 2:16:56play with that a bit. But it's also being, you know, a
- 2:16:59pro and knowing how to practice, you know, you're not going to
- 2:17:01make the team by doing the wrong shit out there.
- 2:17:04And then, you know, a coach being like, bro, you kind of
- 2:17:07even follow the card and, you know, yeah, you might be making
- 2:17:09plays, but it's like you're not, you're not helping anyone, you
- 2:17:12know, even helping yourself. So for me it was, yeah, putting
- 2:17:17the pride aside just coming to work every day trying to get
- 2:17:20better trying to work on what I need to get better at.
- 2:17:22And then, you know, outside of that, it was still being a
- 2:17:26mentor in the D line room. You know, my God, this played a
- 2:17:28lot of bulls. So when we're watching the film
- 2:17:30of the actual team we're playing and watching their line, I'm
- 2:17:33talking to the young guys, I'm saying, hey, if you say this
- 2:17:35formation, think this wrong. if you say this and then with the
- 2:17:40actor roster too, I was still in watts.
- 2:17:43Are you still in the meetings, with the active roster?
- 2:17:45Yeah. Yeah.
- 2:17:46So we're still in, we're still in position meetings, we're
- 2:17:48still do everything, the active rosters doing.
- 2:17:50The only thing different is, we'll probably have like a scout
- 2:17:54team meeting like Wednesday mornings.
- 2:17:56Thursday, mornings, where they'll pull up, you know, 10 to
- 2:17:5915 clips of just like what what it looks like.
- 2:18:02So Wednesday is more first, second down, you know, runs and
- 2:18:05things like that, so they'll show us some clips of that.
- 2:18:08Thursdays is typically like a third down day.
- 2:18:11So you know then we get into like okay.
- 2:18:13These are some of the blitzes they bring, you know some of the
- 2:18:16passwords from moves that they're guys on the interior
- 2:18:19throwing so you know if you get a chance to rush like think like
- 2:18:23More of like a more like arm over, guys, all them all like
- 2:18:26club grip, you know? So it's just emulating the guys
- 2:18:30and then and then you put your own spin on it.
- 2:18:32Obviously, you know, you just don't want to be out there.
- 2:18:34Like I said earlier, just, you know, going through the motions.
- 2:18:37But like I'm also not going to Just lose every rush.
- 2:18:41So, you know, I'm out there showing what I can do too.
- 2:18:44So, um yeah, it's a bit of that. And then, you know, really after
- 2:18:48a Friday practice Your weeks pretty much done.
- 2:18:51So, you know, we're working three days a week.
- 2:18:54You know, you're basically got practice on Wednesday, Thursday,
- 2:18:58Friday. And then we're kind of off to
- 2:19:00Monday Tuesday when we're back in the building, where, you
- 2:19:03know, the guys are going out and playing Sunday and, you know,
- 2:19:07the last thing you want to do is be like shit, you're watching
- 2:19:10the game, Sunday and you realize, damn, I didn't give
- 2:19:12that guy a good look all week and now he's out there getting
- 2:19:14you know shipping out of him in your life, you know, because
- 2:19:18it's gonna come back to you guys like.
- 2:19:20But if we go out there, we put it on them during the week.
- 2:19:23And you know, the scout team had a really good week and gave the
- 2:19:26offense problems. Maybe the coach says, we might
- 2:19:29get away from a few of those plays that we will think of
- 2:19:32putting in because it didn't execute the way we wanted to in
- 2:19:35practice. So let's go and a different
- 2:19:38direction and that might help us in the game Adam.
- 2:19:41And that's why I want to get to him, by the way, we're talking a
- 2:19:44free agent. NFL defensive tackle, Adam go
- 2:19:46to. He's been on our show before we
- 2:19:48met him at the Super Bowl a year ago.
- 2:19:50He's a free agent right now and I'm very interested who's going
- 2:19:54to sign you? I think there's a lot of players
- 2:19:56that are are going to have opportunities in the offseason
- 2:20:00to go somewhere and and have a chance to make a roster.
- 2:20:03And I think you're a big explosive guy.
- 2:20:05And I think you can add to a lot of different teams that are
- 2:20:08looking for defensive. Tackles my question for you is
- 2:20:10we, you look at the league and obviously your team, you're in
- 2:20:14the NFC South, it's it's it's it's one of the easiest
- 2:20:18divisions of football. I don't care what anybody says.
- 2:20:19What happened to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers you started off very
- 2:20:23very strong and then the team kind of just like fell off.
- 2:20:26And I understand injuries happen.
- 2:20:28You have explosive wide receivers like Mike Evans and
- 2:20:32Godwin but and you have a young one that is was up for
- 2:20:36offensive. Play of the year.
- 2:20:38What happened to you guys? I don't I, you guys felt off the
- 2:20:41map. I it didn't make it.
- 2:20:43It was tough because, yeah, we started pretty hot.
- 2:20:46Um, you know and and when you winning games Early.
- 2:20:50Sometimes you don't really. Looking at some of the mistakes
- 2:20:54that you, you know, you're letting some things slide
- 2:20:57because you're winning games and, you know, I think that
- 2:21:00comes back to bite you later in the year.
- 2:21:02Some of the things that were getting us early in the year
- 2:21:05because we're winning those games, we didn't pay it as much
- 2:21:07mine I think and then you know, the injuries happen.
- 2:21:11I don't think we had our starting line that we started
- 2:21:14camp with. I think you know throughout the
- 2:21:17whole season that was like kind of a revolving door of just guys
- 2:21:20being plugged in and plugged out.
- 2:21:22So you know that obviously hurts.
- 2:21:24You the offensive injuries her to, you know, Bucky we lost
- 2:21:29Bucky for a few weeks there, you know that he killed me in
- 2:21:34Spanish, he had him, he was one of my high draft picks and I
- 2:21:38lost him and it absolutely screwed me and one of my leads
- 2:21:42so I didn't have. But how many times do you hear
- 2:21:45that? As an NFL?
- 2:21:47Oh, you hear it a lot but you think he Shit about fantasy.
- 2:21:53I'm just me. It's screwed me.
- 2:21:57I had a chance to win almost 2,000 in this league.
- 2:22:00And because Bucky went down, I was bucked out of a chance to
- 2:22:04win, all right? And by the way, I love how you
- 2:22:07say, I love how you say, bulshit bulshit say that, he says that
- 2:22:12the nicest way, doesn't even sound mean, bulshit that's
- 2:22:15that's the Australian. You know, we can kind of put
- 2:22:18those like cuss words in pretty easy and they just like he
- 2:22:23didn't even say anything different.
- 2:22:24Yeah, yeah, bulshit. But but yeah, I mean, it was, it
- 2:22:29was, I think a lot of those, you know, like I said, a lot of
- 2:22:33those mistakes early in the season.
- 2:22:34You know, the like even now first three, four games, you
- 2:22:38know, winning by field goal. So, you know, a lot of it was
- 2:22:41bacon, making something happening in that last two
- 2:22:44minutes asking game winning field goal winning the game, but
- 2:22:47it didn't mean that we'll play at the level we wanted to on
- 2:22:51defense. And that's all I can really.
- 2:22:52Going for, you know, because that's what I'm involved in.
- 2:22:54But, you know, like I said, a lot of those things that, you
- 2:22:58know, are covered up by getting a win, come back and get you
- 2:23:01later in the year and that kind of happened.
- 2:23:04Adam, a lot of backlash came to Todd Bowles.
- 2:23:06Going into the second half of the season, a lot of the media
- 2:23:10attacked him because they didn't think that he coached this team
- 2:23:13up the way they that he should have.
- 2:23:15And some people believe he should have lost his job in the
- 2:23:18off-season. Could you tell us a little bit
- 2:23:20about the insanity of who Todd Bowles is and why you should
- 2:23:24keep his job? Yeah, I mean, I love coach
- 2:23:27balls. I thought he was probably one of
- 2:23:28the best head coaches I've had and I've had a lot of head
- 2:23:30coaches. You know, went through about
- 2:23:33three or four in Denver, three or four in Jackson Bill and then
- 2:23:38go to the Bucks. And I think you know, the way he
- 2:23:40coaches the team the way he motivates the team, he it's all
- 2:23:45football with him, is a true prayer, is none of that bullshit
- 2:23:48way, you just had to slip it in there one more time.
- 2:23:52I love it, you know, your you go on a team meeting and the coach
- 2:23:56is talking about like, oh, how is fishing this week into one of
- 2:23:59the guys, or how is this, or how was that?
- 2:24:01It's just straight to the ball. Hey, we know what we've got to
- 2:24:04do, they're going to come in here, we're gonna go in there,
- 2:24:07whatever it is, what's gonna handle our business, you know,
- 2:24:09short and sweet, you know, team meetings.
- 2:24:13And then even after practice, like, he's want to shoot it
- 2:24:15straight like he's not going to butter you up if you had a good
- 2:24:18practice, and he's not gonna, you know, buddy up.
- 2:24:21If you had a bad practice, it's gonna tell you how it is.
- 2:24:22He's gonna be like, we practice like shit.
- 2:24:24So, you know, whatever you whatever you got to do to, you
- 2:24:27know, get your shit right for the game.
- 2:24:29Better get it right? So you know, very motivating.
- 2:24:32I think he's a true Pro in terms of that and yeah I understand a
- 2:24:38lot of the hate that comes when you you know you're in a prime
- 2:24:40position and then you know, the season kind of gets away from
- 2:24:44you but I mean, it end of the day, I think, you know, that the
- 2:24:48coaches did what they had to do for us to be in positions to
- 2:24:52win. And I don't think we just went
- 2:24:54out there and executed his play as I think.
- 2:24:56You know, the things that are saying earlier, like the same
- 2:24:59mistakes that showed up early in the year showed up later in the
- 2:25:02year and you know, some of that can fall on coaching but I think
- 2:25:05guys had to take a look in the mirror and own some of the shirt
- 2:25:09that they didn't do. Right?
- 2:25:10And you know, unfortunately in this business everyone wants to
- 2:25:14point the finger somewhere else, but here's one that will take it
- 2:25:16on the chin and he'll say he needs to do a bit better job,
- 2:25:19the coaches need to be do a better job.
- 2:25:22And, you know, you don't really see a lot of players coming out
- 2:25:25saying, we need to do a better job as players, but I felt like
- 2:25:28that, that's what it was. I think us as players needed to
- 2:25:32do more needed to put in more sacrifice a bit more.
- 2:25:35And that that's what led to the downfall I think.
- 2:25:39And yeah, it's disappointing for sure, but you know, I always say
- 2:25:44like, you know, the teams were shit's not going right?
- 2:25:47Or, you know, I got blown off the ball in a double team.
- 2:25:52What what can I do next week to make that bed?
- 2:25:54I can't just rely on the coach, to say, hey next play for, you
- 2:25:57know, I got to go out there, get an extra 10, 15 minutes on the
- 2:26:01sled or work in my hands or working my pad level, whatever
- 2:26:04it was, and I'll go to want to do that, you know, a coaches,
- 2:26:08and the coaches and stuff. We don't have time.
- 2:26:11You know, in practice or during the week for to wait on someone
- 2:26:15to do that for you. You've got to go out there and
- 2:26:17say I'm going, I'm going out to practice 15 minutes early.
- 2:26:20I'm going to get these extra reps in.
- 2:26:22I'm gonna grind that little bit more and make sure I'm ready.
- 2:26:25So, the next time I'm in that situation that she doesn't
- 2:26:27happen and yeah I think like I don't think we had enough guys
- 2:26:32doing that. And I think, you know, some of
- 2:26:34that can come down to leadership and some of that can come down
- 2:26:37to play as holding guys accountable.
- 2:26:39And you know, I think we shouldn't have done a better job
- 2:26:42with that so I want to shift Gears a little bit obviously
- 2:26:45with the Olympics going on, they've crossed promoting with
- 2:26:47the Super Bowl being on the same network and they're hyping about
- 2:26:49the flag football. That's gonna be coming in 2028.
- 2:26:52Do you think you being somebody from Australia?
- 2:26:55One of the, a lot of NFL players from Australia.
- 2:26:58Now, including the Seahawks punter that might be the best in
- 2:26:59league right now. Do you think that kind of thing
- 2:27:01will work to help grow the, the game of football International
- 2:27:05in Australia and other places? And what are your thoughts on
- 2:27:08like how many Australian players at the ripple effect that's
- 2:27:11coming? Not just it's not just kickers
- 2:27:12and Hunters anymore. A lot of offense alignment and
- 2:27:14defense alignment, too, like yourself.
- 2:27:15Yeah, yeah, that's what I think's gonna happen.
- 2:27:18I think initially, we're going to see a flood of more punches
- 2:27:21coming over because a lot of our like pro sports, like Aussie
- 2:27:25Rules Football, even rugby a lot of that like this punting and
- 2:27:28stuff in that. So I think That's probably going
- 2:27:31to be the first Little Wave of guys coming over, but I think
- 2:27:34having these games in Australia coming up having the flag
- 2:27:39football opportunities coming up, I think we're going to see
- 2:27:42you know some 15 16 year olds start to you know train and
- 2:27:46realize like hey if I can get over to a college and then get
- 2:27:50me three four years in a college and go through the that process
- 2:27:54I think we're going to see a few more guys come through because
- 2:27:56it's pretty tough. Like you really have to be like
- 2:28:00a diamond in the rough to go straight from, you know, doing
- 2:28:04nothing as a 24 year old in Australia to playing offensive
- 2:28:08line or defensive line, or receiver, or DB, you just
- 2:28:11haven't been around the Playbook enough.
- 2:28:13You just don't know the ins now so the game, but if you're a
- 2:28:16young 16 year old that's built pretty well from playing.
- 2:28:20These Sports have has a lot of like You know, athleticism from
- 2:28:24playing a sport like rugby or Aussie Rules Football. you can
- 2:28:28bring that over and in college you can get dialed into the X's
- 2:28:31and O's, they can develop you, they can develop your body,
- 2:28:34teach you the skills and that's what coaching is, you know,
- 2:28:37coaching isn't, you know, teaching these guys how to, you
- 2:28:41know, Get stronger and things like that, but it's like, we're
- 2:28:45going to teach you how to play receiver.
- 2:28:46We're going to teach you how to play defensive end.
- 2:28:48We're gonna and a good thing about a lot of that is, I think
- 2:28:51you don't have bad coaching, you know, you haven't been through
- 2:28:54high school where my high school coach told me this, this, this
- 2:28:57this, and that's what I do. And now you get to college and
- 2:29:00college coaches, like forget, which Castle coach told you.
- 2:29:03I want to teach you what, I want to teach you, they're kind of
- 2:29:06coming in with this Clean Slate where, you know, what their
- 2:29:09college coach is, teaching them what they're learning.
- 2:29:11There's going to be their first real stage of learning and then,
- 2:29:13you know, developed already. So I think in the next five, ten
- 2:29:17years, we'll see a few more like positional players, but I think
- 2:29:23in the next couple years definitely more punters more
- 2:29:26guys that are kind of in that Reserve you know positions in
- 2:29:30the pro league saying. Well shit, I'm not getting a
- 2:29:32game playing Aussie Rules Football.
- 2:29:34Let me try and just get over as a punter and see what I can do
- 2:29:37there. Yeah, we have we actually have
- 2:29:40one in Nebraska Archie Wilson. Yeah.
- 2:29:43So yeah, it's it's amazing. You say that because it's kind
- 2:29:46of like How would you like because cultures are big change?
- 2:29:51One of my really good buddies that played college basketball.
- 2:29:56Like I didn't know shit about where you all are from like,
- 2:29:59how, like, so how hard was it to adapt to the culture?
- 2:30:03Because a lot of people don't understand, like, you're born
- 2:30:06and raised in one thing and then coming over to the states is
- 2:30:10completely different. Like, I don't think enough
- 2:30:12people understand, it's hard enough to do what you do and
- 2:30:15play football, but like we're human beings.
- 2:30:18So adapting to a different culture like try to try to help
- 2:30:21us better understand because we're born and raised here how
- 2:30:24to adapt to a different culture and like, yeah, I think like I
- 2:30:29think nowadays with like social media and things like that, you
- 2:30:32get you get a bit more of a taste.
- 2:30:35You know, when I first came over it was like You know, FaceTime
- 2:30:39wasn't even around. So for me to like, call my
- 2:30:42parents it was like we have to set up like a sky, you know?
- 2:30:45So it's a bit different. But, you know, if you'll come in
- 2:30:50over and you'll, you'll play in full bowl and you're in a locker
- 2:30:53room like that. I mean, you automatically get,
- 2:30:56you know, 50 to 100 guys that, you know, quite as with the
- 2:31:00friends with that, you're going to close with that you
- 2:31:02developing relationships. So, You don't really have time
- 2:31:06to like get caught up in a lot of other stuff because you're so
- 2:31:10just drilled into, okay, we're in football.
- 2:31:12We're training, we're doing this.
- 2:31:13We're doing that. But culturally, like, obviously
- 2:31:16things are different, you know? And and the thing about the
- 2:31:18states is like culturally, they're different from the south
- 2:31:21to the north to the Midwest, to the West Coast, you know, it's
- 2:31:25all different Vibes, different, you know, people grew up to go
- 2:31:28and doing different things. So, You know, it's definitely
- 2:31:32just being like a sponge, get to know your teammates, you know,
- 2:31:35getting to know where they grew up, how they grew up, what they,
- 2:31:38what they're into, you know, things like that.
- 2:31:41And you know, straightly being an English speaking like
- 2:31:44country. It's pretty easy because you
- 2:31:46know it's not like you're learning a foreign language or
- 2:31:48anything Pizza, you know, Gatorade Gatorade just some
- 2:31:53different flavors, you know, so it's close enough.
- 2:31:56We can kind of make some of those things.
- 2:31:58But um, yeah, it definitely is a bit different in terms of some
- 2:32:02of your things can mean different things and you
- 2:32:04probably know the one I'm probably thinking about.
- 2:32:07Yeah. Yeah but yeah I mean you know
- 2:32:22When I came over, I grew up in the city back home.
- 2:32:25So to come over and you know, I went to Georgia Tech which is in
- 2:32:28the heart of Atlanta. So for me when I came over it
- 2:32:31was like even just visiting the campus, like it felt like I was
- 2:32:35in it in in Australia, you know, a city with a bunch of culture,
- 2:32:38a bunch of different cultures because it's such a Melting Pot
- 2:32:42ever people from all over the world.
- 2:32:44It's big working, you know City. So you've got a lot of big
- 2:32:49businesses there. You've got International people
- 2:32:51there, you've got, you know, a lot of young, like professionals
- 2:32:55there. So, you know, to me, just like,
- 2:32:57being around that and being, like, in the city, it felt
- 2:33:00comfortable. I always want to go, but damn,
- 2:33:03why is the flight so, damn long? Yeah, yeah, it's crazy.
- 2:33:05Yeah, my brother and my mom just flew back and yeah, it's a
- 2:33:09flight. So, if you gonna go, you
- 2:33:11definitely go to get a few weeks there.
- 2:33:12But yeah. Is it you gain a day going?
- 2:33:17Or you losing it? You gained a day going there.
- 2:33:20You lose a day coming back. So yeah, but um yeah culturally
- 2:33:25I mean it's it's America's it's it's I love it because it's just
- 2:33:30like It's so different. Like, what I was saying, you
- 2:33:33know, if you're in these different cities, if you did in
- 2:33:36these different towns, it's just so different.
- 2:33:38And, and you just go to be open, you know, I think the whole
- 2:33:41thing with like, cultures and accepting, those things is just
- 2:33:45being open to it. And, you know, I think that's
- 2:33:48that's what the beautiful part is.
- 2:33:50It's just like they do things a little differently here and it's
- 2:33:53understanding that it's like, you know, back in Australia.
- 2:33:55We didn't say like sir and ma'am and stuff really growing up, you
- 2:33:59know, even to our teachers and stuff.
- 2:34:01But you get here, you get well in the South.
- 2:34:03It's super common. You know, you holding holding a
- 2:34:07door for a lady, it's like, oh yes, ma'am.
- 2:34:09He so thanks to waiters to all that stuff and you know, even
- 2:34:14like tipping culture in Australia, we don't tip like it
- 2:34:16all. That's included like, Minimum
- 2:34:23wage is like, you know, if you're a barista like a coffee
- 2:34:27shop, you'll make in 2530 bucks an hour.
- 2:34:30You know, working in McDonald's. You're making 20 25 bucks an
- 2:34:33hour. So you know there's no tipping
- 2:34:35in that, that's pretty funny. Yeah, I'm going back to like hi
- 2:34:40sir, you know, as a young adult you're making good money and
- 2:34:43then, you know, he but here it's like, you know, when me and my
- 2:34:49family, you know, me and the kids and stuff go out and eat.
- 2:34:52It's like You can tell like, okay the service is a bit better
- 2:34:56because these people are working for tips.
- 2:34:58So, you know, in Australia, you run out of water at your table.
- 2:35:02Most the time you're like, putting your hand up in well,
- 2:35:05then get some more water that's where it's like that's where
- 2:35:07Tiger Woods should go because he doesn't tip here exactly.
- 2:35:12But like here, I mean, you go out to eat most of the time you
- 2:35:17go to tell them like, hey, this is like my fourth Coke, I'm good
- 2:35:19on the coke, you know what I'm saying?
- 2:35:21Like before, you know, where you settled at, I'm in Jacksonville.
- 2:35:30Okay. That's nice.
- 2:35:31Yeah. So that's one base.
- 2:35:32So no stick, that's good job. So we're right.
- 2:35:35We are talking a free agent. NFL tackle, Adam gotsis Adam
- 2:35:40before we let you go. All right, let's say we're a
- 2:35:43ring of GMS right now sitting in around table, and you walk in,
- 2:35:48how do you pitch yourself to all these GMS?
- 2:35:51What could sell Adam goats this to the NFL and ownership and
- 2:35:57GM's around the league? Give me your pitch.
- 2:35:59If I was if I was going to hire you.
- 2:36:02Yeah I think just selling myself as a consistent Ron stopper in
- 2:36:06the league, I think as you get deep in the playoffs and light
- 2:36:09in the season teams won the bowl.
- 2:36:11And as we saw last night, you know, if you can't stop the run,
- 2:36:14it's pretty tough to win games. This the big games because, you
- 2:36:18know, teams are going to come in and establish that open up the
- 2:36:20pass game. And, you know, most my career,
- 2:36:23if you look at HBO, when I played consistent snaps and had
- 2:36:27opportunities to be on the field of done, Great job of had
- 2:36:30negative plays. I've been able to affect the
- 2:36:31pass rush. Be part of the past Russia
- 2:36:34affecting the pastor, but as a run stuff in D lineman, you
- 2:36:38know, I think I'm probably one of the top guys in the league.
- 2:36:41I like to think of myself as that, you know, and when I
- 2:36:45compare my stats, when I've been playing, you know, similar play
- 2:36:49snaps to other guys. My numbers are right there with
- 2:36:52the guys that are making, you know, good money and on three
- 2:36:55four year deals. Like, you know, you look at the
- 2:36:57guys, I played next to in Denver and Jacksonville on all these
- 2:37:02teams. I feel like when I've had
- 2:37:03consistent snaps and it measures up against what these guys are
- 2:37:06doing production wise, I'm right there with them.
- 2:37:08And yeah, I think being even as a practice squad guy, I'm happy
- 2:37:12to come on. As a practice squad guy, be a
- 2:37:14leader in the locker room, a leader on the field and I need
- 2:37:18to do to help his team win. You know.
- 2:37:19I'm here to win, Super Bowls and try and get teams championships.
- 2:37:23You know, I'm not just I'll do it Iverson practice.
- 2:37:29You mean? Yeah.
- 2:37:29Come on. You don't need to be on a
- 2:37:31practice squad. You need to make a roster, you
- 2:37:34deserve your great personality. You're, you're a big guy.
- 2:37:37When I met Adam, I looked up, I like Java your Sixth Street.
- 2:37:41This guy's like six six. He's a big man and huge but he's
- 2:37:47like a teddy bear. He's like one of the nicest
- 2:37:49people you'll ever meet. So just an outgoing down to
- 2:37:53earth type of person. You wouldn't even know he was
- 2:37:56from Australia until he started to speak to you.
- 2:37:58So, he's like, one of the boys hanging out and I remember when
- 2:38:02Nathan brought him to the table is like, this is, this is Adam
- 2:38:04goat's, and I say, I've heard of you and he sat down and it was
- 2:38:07like, dude, even when he sits on the table, he's bigger than
- 2:38:10everybody. Oh, yeah.
- 2:38:12Because you're sure I'm 510 and a half and five.
- 2:38:15I'm not that short. This guy says I'm short and it
- 2:38:20makes me laugh. I mean he's sixth, Strays, four
- 2:38:22inches. Big, big baby and he's like,
- 2:38:24he's like, well you still short, you know, I hate your job.
- 2:38:26I hate you. My rule of thumb is if you under
- 2:38:31six foot, you're pretty sure thing that's my good.
- 2:38:35That's my dinner. Now, spoken from a tall, you
- 2:38:38know, that because now you're upsetting me Adam.
- 2:38:40He's a great birthday and he's a great with you on this.
- 2:38:43Oh, 100%. Anyways, Adam, good luck on the
- 2:38:49offseason keep training. Let's get you on.
- 2:38:52When we find out where you're going, talk about this.
- 2:38:54Yeah, fingers crossed, man. I'm gonna keep working and, you
- 2:38:58know, hopefully an opportunity comes because, you know, I still
- 2:39:01got a lot of bull left in me. I'm feeling healthy after the
- 2:39:04year, didn't, you know, play too much.
- 2:39:06So, you know, I definitely feel like I'm in great, great
- 2:39:10conditioning and everything man. I'm just excited for the future
- 2:39:14holds, you know, I think enough teams you know went out there
- 2:39:18and probably didn't stop the runner.
- 2:39:19I think cross the league it looked like it was better teams.
- 2:39:23It was averaging four, five yards of carry in.
- 2:39:25You know I remember when I first came in the league it was like
- 2:39:28if we're giving up over three yards of carry, it's not good,
- 2:39:31run defense and I think, you know, it has become a bit of a
- 2:39:34passing league, but in the big games was saying, oh I'll pitch
- 2:39:39you to the Jets because the Jets need some run Stoppers, man.
- 2:39:41We can go. Don't do it.
- 2:39:44No, don't do it. I Fight you Mr. Nebraska over
- 2:39:48there. Maybe we'll get our friend for
- 2:39:50you again to lower your back to Jackson.
- 2:39:52That's, that's true too for you definitely.
- 2:39:54Absolutely jump. A line to him, man.
- 2:39:56I'm around the corner. Drop a line doing for me.
- 2:39:58Well, keep up the good work. We'll be in touch with you man.
- 2:40:02And yeah, keep that smile on your face, man.
- 2:40:05Because Smiley and you're one of the nicest, dudes.
- 2:40:09So we really appreciate the time and I'll never that's it.
- 2:40:13Oh, thank you, man. Thanks guys, I appreciate you
- 2:40:17having me on absolutely Adam. Coatis, ladies and gentlemen.
- 2:40:21Uh, defensive tackle free agent, Jets Giants, anybody Buffalo
- 2:40:26Bills that could use some run Stoppers.
- 2:40:28There's a lot of teams right now.
- 2:40:31Specially the Buffalo Bills, one of the worst runs stopping teams
- 2:40:35in the NFL this year, they can use Adam, he's right.
- 2:40:38It's been really, really bad all season long when I comes to run
- 2:40:42defense's and Jacksonville was good.
- 2:40:44The Patriots were good but usually When you see a good run
- 2:40:47stopping team, they're not very good past rushing teams.
- 2:40:50So there are teams that, obviously, you can argue that,
- 2:40:53but he's a good guy. I'm telling you, he's big, he's
- 2:40:58massive, and he's like a teddy bear.
- 2:41:00I've never met a nicer person. I really never have.
- 2:41:02As, you know, being around athlete, you get a chance to
- 2:41:06discover what type of personalities they are.
- 2:41:08He's one of those guys that you you can't judge them because
- 2:41:12he's not one of those guys. He's like one of the boys.
- 2:41:15If he was sitting here, you wouldn't even know that he was a
- 2:41:18professional football player. He's just a big giant guy who's
- 2:41:22pretty outgoing and down to earth so very very nice.
- 2:41:25Hey when he was younger. How much pussy?
- 2:41:27You think he got that accent? He has he your new favorite
- 2:41:32swear words. That's true too.
- 2:41:35Like he said to me it was like he said it like like it was a
- 2:41:39term of endearment like it. He said it just came out so
- 2:41:43nice. I was like he could He could
- 2:41:46just be cussing you out and be like, shake his hand and give my
- 2:41:49hug like it. It's impressive.
- 2:41:51Like, bulshit was accents. Blow my mind like, and it's, you
- 2:41:55know, he's been over here for how long, and you don't lose it,
- 2:41:58man. That's let me borrow that after
- 2:42:00like a couple days. What about Nathan's accent?
- 2:42:03No, don't problem. Breaking news.
- 2:42:15Breaking news in that we had some graphics for him.

- 2:44:11first time, winners, Rams quarterback, Matthew Stafford

- 2:44:19Stafford finished the year with 4,707 yards, passing 47,
- 2:44:26touchdowns and 109.7 passed a rating.
- 2:44:28In his first year in New England.
- 2:44:32Patriots head coach Mike Rabel won Coach of the Year, winning
- 2:44:35it for the second time. In his career the Patriots had
- 2:44:39the biggest turnaround in league in the league.
- 2:44:42Under repele going from Full wins in 2024 before he got
- 2:44:47there. To 14 wins this year, making it
- 2:44:50to the Super Bowl. Super Bowl champions.
- 2:44:54Seahawks receiver, Jackson Smith, Jake Paul won offensive
- 2:44:57player of the year for the First time, GS jsn finished with 119
- 2:45:03catches for 1,793 yards and 10, touchdowns the NFL's, new Sac
- 2:45:10King Myles. Garrett won defensive player of

- 2:45:41McCaffrey won comeback Player of the Year with 10002.
- 2:45:45Rushing yards and ten rushing touchdowns and 102 catches for
- 2:45:5090 924, receiving yards and seven touchdowns after he
- 2:45:55injured himself. And he had the interplay in
- 2:45:582000. 24. I will say this, I, I agree with
- 2:46:02every one of these guys getting the awards that they got.
- 2:46:05The only one that I would say shouldn't have gotten the ward
- 2:46:08and also assisting coach of the year, which, which was was Josh
- 2:46:13McDaniels. It's the Patriots and I'm not
- 2:46:16taking shots at the New England Patriots in the success that
- 2:46:18they had this year. But Mike McDonald should have
- 2:46:22won coach of the year. He should have, there's no and
- 2:46:26and I'll say this, his coaching staff was as good as anybody in
- 2:46:30the league his offensive coordinator.
- 2:46:31Just got the head coaching job at the with the Raiders.
- 2:46:35He has been one of the best young offensive coordinators in
- 2:46:38all of the NFL Mike Rabel deserves again.
- 2:46:42A lot of credit for the success that they had 14 wins Super Bowl
- 2:46:45appearance. They had the easiest schedule in
- 2:46:47the NFL and you look at a guy like Mike McDonald.
- 2:46:50Mike McDonald had one of the hardest schedule in the NFL and
- 2:46:53to be 14 and 3 in gold all the way.
- 2:46:55His Super Bowl and dominate the way he did to get to the All the
- 2:46:59way they did with all the pressure going into the
- 2:47:01playoffs, him them dancing and prancing after they won the
- 2:47:05conference and everybody was out to knock them out.
- 2:47:07And the way they just completely dominated, think about it.
- 2:47:10Look what they did to San Francisco, they completely
- 2:47:14tortured, the San Francisco 49ers.
- 2:47:17I understand this isn't the same 49ers defense, they lost both,
- 2:47:21they lost Warner, I don't want to hear it.
- 2:47:24This was one of the best offensive teams in the NFL.
- 2:47:27The last four weeks of the season when Brock Purdy was one
- 2:47:31of the hottest quarterbacks in the league when he came back and
- 2:47:34they completely smothered that defense smothered San Francisco.
- 2:47:37And then what they did to Sean McVeigh and the Rams in the NFC
- 2:47:41title game. It was unbelievable.
- 2:47:44The fact and I understand it's not about playoffs.
- 2:47:46It's not about the playoffs, it's a regular season.
- 2:47:48You're going to tell me right now that the Patriots that were
- 2:47:51the second best team in the AFC which is one of the to me, one
- 2:47:55of the worst years when it came to AFC Conference play was
- 2:47:58Better than the NFC Conference winning Seattle, Seahawks, it
- 2:48:02makes no sense, no sense. And you give the GM GM of the
- 2:48:07year in Schneider, if Schneider is the GM of the year, with all
- 2:48:10the success they have, how isn't their coach?
- 2:48:12And their assistant coach and Clint Kubiak, not the assistant
- 2:48:15coach of the year. It makes no sense everybody
- 2:48:18else. It makes a lot of sense.
- 2:48:19Christian McCaffrey was come back into player.
- 2:48:21No, come back player, I like that Jackson Smith and Jake.
- 2:48:24Paul won offensive player of the year and Jackson.
- 2:48:28Dark didn't win, offensive rookie of the year because to me
- 2:48:31McMillan was the best rookie as far as offensively all season
- 2:48:36long. So I'm not gonna I I'm not
- 2:48:38saying Jackson, dark doesn't deserve any of the accolades.
- 2:48:40I just don't think I would have given it to him.
- 2:48:42He missed the first four games of the Season.
- 2:48:44He played well, I just think McMillan was the guy.
- 2:48:47He was he helped Caroline and make the playoffs is sheer.
- 2:48:50He was everything to Carolina and Bryce Young's development
- 2:48:53this year. So, very well deserved.
- 2:48:55And and by the way, Myles Garrett was by far the best
- 2:48:58defense. Play around.
- 2:48:59Yeah, I I don't think anybody was questioning that it was.
- 2:49:03And again, puka, you can argue that pooka was the best
- 2:49:07offensive player of the year, but Jackson Smith and Jake.
- 2:49:10Paul was on it, that trajectory of breaking records this year.
- 2:49:13So I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna take that away from him and they
- 2:49:17also won the Super Bowl even though they don't look at that.
- 2:49:19So and and to me, there's no doubt that Matthew Stafford was
- 2:49:24the best player. Best quarterback in all the
- 2:49:27football, all season long at least when he got into the
- 2:49:31playoffs. And even when he played Seattle,
- 2:49:32he put a pretty good numbers. He didn't lay UPS you say,
- 2:49:36throughout the playoffs and his schedule was not easy.
- 2:49:38The ramps schedule, was one of the hardest thing to leak.
- 2:49:40So everything was. Alright, but the Mike Rabel, the
- 2:49:43mic fragile decision of making him coach of the air and
- 2:49:46assistant coach of the year. Yeah, not just have a MVP.
- 2:49:49You look at the like the level of competition that he faced in
- 2:49:51that division alone, and then all.
- 2:49:53So, even in also, even in the AFC 2, when you're dealing with
- 2:49:56a guy, NFC South has a lot of Defenses.
- 2:49:59Houston's defense was great. And the Jacksonville's defense
- 2:50:01was pretty good this year and he played them and you then he's
- 2:50:05doing it with Devante Adams. Dante Adams led the league in
- 2:50:08touchdowns fantasy Adams. I realized, that's what I was
- 2:50:10looking for the Hall of Fame stuff.
- 2:50:11He's now, seventh old time in receiving touchdowns and I don't
- 2:50:14care about history and Matthew. Stafford, obviously huge reason
- 2:50:17why making a lot of those tight ends those raw.
- 2:50:18Those running backs, really valuable that off.
- 2:50:21As he definitely the MVP know me over Drake, Maye, I agree with
- 2:50:24you on Myles Garrett Myles Garrett was the best overall
- 2:50:26football player period this year.
- 2:50:28Like he had the best year like we're talking about with boy.
- 2:50:30Like if MVP was in a Quarterback Award, we don't know.
- 2:50:33I think puka in Jackson Smith Jiggler pretty damn.
- 2:50:37They were, they were Poco was the PFF grade number one
- 2:50:39receiver jsn at this overall stats, but puka did a lot so
- 2:50:42much more. They definitely were necking
- 2:50:44neck right there with offensive, but I like Pucca.
- 2:50:46The fact that he didn't win. He took, he took a lot of pride
- 2:50:50of his season this year. He didn't take it away from
- 2:50:52Jackson Smith, but if they the game after the award show and
- 2:50:56they interviewed him and said, are you upset that you didn't?
- 2:50:58He says it's an award that I, I really don't care about, I care
- 2:51:01about winning championships. So I like that about puka, that
- 2:51:04it wasn't. It's not about winning award,
- 2:51:06it's about winning the biggest Ward.
- 2:51:07And that's the Lombardi Trope. Yeah, that's where we always get
- 2:51:09the Dilemma of like because it's a regular season award.
- 2:51:11Like how much do you add the playoffs in.
- 2:51:13But it's also the playoffs factoring how far your team goes
- 2:51:15to. And puka, I think.
- 2:51:16Jsn had the one big game in the NFC championship game of Poco
- 2:51:19was great. All three games of the Rams play
- 2:51:20in the playoffs, so maybe if they added that in.
- 2:51:22Well, maybe it's so you think puka Shoulda went on saying, no,
- 2:51:25I'm saying that. If like, if they added playoff
- 2:51:28collectively, just regular season, just can't do that all
- 2:51:31the time. So it's a weird dynamic.
- 2:51:33This year the running games were not as good and as explosive as
- 2:51:36it was the year before. And I don't know if anybody
- 2:51:38noticed that and you just heard a guy like, Adam, Adam came out
- 2:51:42and said, the obviously the run defense is weren't good this
- 2:51:45year, but the Run offenses were really as good.
- 2:51:47Yeah. There were a lot of star running
- 2:51:49backs, or very inconsistent this year outside of probably James
- 2:51:52Cook and Christian McCaffrey and even Johnathan Taylor kind of
- 2:51:55fell off of the end of the year after.
- 2:51:56Yeah, that really hot start. Derek.
- 2:51:59Henry, Denmark Henry Henry has a bulk games, but was very
- 2:52:01inconsistent too. So yeah, that's why you didn't
- 2:52:04you're not gonna see no saquon Barkley this year.
- 2:52:05Yeah, so yeah, that's why you're not gonna see them in comparison
- 2:52:08to the receivers for a lot of the offensive Player of the Year
- 2:52:10Awards. I agree with you on the rookies.
- 2:52:12They I didn't think McMillan was gonna win it because usually
- 2:52:15they give it to the quarterback. So but I wouldn't give it to
- 2:52:17Dart because Dart didn't play the first five games.
- 2:52:19So you I wouldn't reward somebody that only play 10 games
- 2:52:22versus bowling, playing the whole season like McMillan did
- 2:52:25and said they were swishing. Her everyone saying.
- 2:52:26All right, just stopped, it's not his fault.
- 2:52:29The Browns offense is so terrible.
- 2:52:30They saw the field all the time. James Pearce had a good case he
- 2:52:32had 10 and a half sacks in his rookie year for Atlanta, but I
- 2:52:35think swinger definitely. Just think traded they traded
- 2:52:38the rights to Travis Hunter for swinger and sweatshirt.
- 2:52:42Was a better pick. Yes.
- 2:52:44Yeah. And they got given James Pearce,
- 2:52:48any awards. If you were reading the news
- 2:52:50James, I saw that there was there was any anywhere you were
- 2:52:56kind of, like, Shaking your head up, obviously.
- 2:53:01Numbers speak to himself. That's kind of where they at.
- 2:53:03I don't, I don't know that I'll ever put Postseason stats into
- 2:53:08this. Now, you can't.
- 2:53:09Because there's two, there's two varied of a sample like of how.
- 2:53:12Yeah, it's not always their fall.
- 2:53:16Yeah, and I think that's just part of what it is.
- 2:53:18But like hookah was great in the way he did.
- 2:53:20It's like yeah it's awesome but also he can't talk shit because
- 2:53:23Jason's numbers were crazy. Like I had a great year but And
- 2:53:28that's the thing to that, I think now with with so much
- 2:53:31access to all this information and I don't give a damn what
- 2:53:35they say. We look at this stuff as
- 2:53:37athletes. Like we do you're like, hey how
- 2:53:40far away from this guy? And I like how many yards and
- 2:53:43whatever like we look at it and so and I think when it comes
- 2:53:47down to you you should say that I'm better than him.
- 2:53:50But at the end of the day when it comes to it you see more
- 2:53:54humility or you see more praise to the guys that get it because,
- 2:53:58you know, that their numbers in you have so much access to watch
- 2:54:02their film and what they do because you might try and use
- 2:54:05something that they use like off a hitch or maybe that stutter
- 2:54:08step or or off the line and what they're doing.
- 2:54:10So I think there's just more respect throughout the game and
- 2:54:14more access to the knowledge of how good these guys are that are
- 2:54:19better than me, but I'm right there.
- 2:54:21It's not like, I'm too far off because they both have
- 2:54:23unbelievable season. I thought Mike McDonald is the
- 2:54:26only one that I think was Because he had, he won the NFC,
- 2:54:30he won the whole conference and his schedule.
- 2:54:33He's in the hardest division in football.
- 2:54:35You gotta play the Rams twice. You gotta play.
- 2:54:37You gotta play San Francisco twice, even Arizona.
- 2:54:40They're not a shoe-in, they're great defense.
- 2:54:42And I thought the way they dominated the NFC all season
- 2:54:46long. Look at how they dominated the
- 2:54:48NFC. They didn't just beat down on
- 2:54:50teams. They kill teams.
- 2:54:51So and Mike MacDonald had a rookie.
- 2:54:54Well, he's not a rookie, he's a first year quarterback with the
- 2:54:57team and he got a three-year Hunter and he wins a Super Bowl
- 2:55:00with that guy. So I mean, he coached that team
- 2:55:03up and he's a young quarter, he's on young coach.
- 2:55:06I think that he was robbed, they gave it to Mike for, I
- 2:55:09understand why they didn't. But my my, if you look at his
- 2:55:12schedule was one of the easiest schedules in the NFL, everybody
- 2:55:16knows that. How did the comedy take that
- 2:55:18away from Mike McDonald? He was by far the best coach in
- 2:55:21all of the NFL, I'll give you one.
- 2:55:22That was a guy who didn't deserve a Josh McDaniels getting
- 2:55:26assistant knowledge of the year. In Kubiak, over over Kubiak,
- 2:55:30over Vance, Joseph and Denver as the defensive coach.
- 2:55:34I think there I could probably, if I really went deep, I might
- 2:55:38find five to seven guys. I take before McDaniel.
- 2:55:42I might look at their defensive coordinator before.
- 2:55:43I look at McDaniels to be quite honest with you.
- 2:55:46Obviously Drake may had a great season, but again we've we saw
- 2:55:50it. We talked about the first hour
- 2:55:51when we talked about the Super Bowl.
- 2:55:52Who did they really play this year?
- 2:55:54Nobody, and how hard was it really for them?
- 2:55:57You know, their division was down.
- 2:55:59The bills were really inconsistent this year, you know
- 2:56:02they got him good the first time they didn't beat him the second
- 2:56:05time. What were their real signature
- 2:56:07wins this season, you know? But, you know power to them.
- 2:56:11They did what they did and give them the give them the trophies
- 2:56:14but I'll remind you, you know, Brian dabel won coach of the
- 2:56:17year two giants? Yes I started you know let's
- 2:56:23just get those at least we're not just drafting team captain
- 2:56:26still Speedy or Senior Bowl, MVP and well, just for Christian
- 2:56:30McCaffrey he is Has been great. What do you think about Trevor
- 2:56:34Lawrence though? Trevor Lawrence should have been
- 2:56:37given a little bit more. Love more consistency with
- 2:56:40McCaffrey though? I I will say this Cohen should
- 2:56:43have been up for Coach of the Year too.
- 2:56:44I mean, what he did in a second half, was it first with all the
- 2:56:47injuries? They lost.
- 2:56:48Travis the gremlin Hunter early early in the season and the way
- 2:56:52they picked up. And, and it wasn't their stars
- 2:56:54that really picked up. It was these guys that were
- 2:56:57brought up in the scrap. He, some of these drafted picks
- 2:57:00that they brought in later in the draft and they all they all
- 2:57:03started to develop right, when right onto Cohen.
- 2:57:06So I think he deserves a little bit more credit and he's the one
- 2:57:08that finally. I mean, he had Peter's in
- 2:57:11coaching him who obviously want to Super Bowl as the head coach
- 2:57:14for the Eagles knocking off the New England Patriots.
- 2:57:16He couldn't develop a guy like Trevor Lawrence, but a guy like
- 2:57:20Cohen who helped on Baker, Mayfield, I think analysis
- 2:57:24there's a little bit more credit than Cohen does.
- 2:57:26But and getting the chance that he had this year to take over.
- 2:57:29And by the way, Cohen wasn't gonna take that job, Until at
- 2:57:33the tail end before the OTA started.
- 2:57:35He wasn't he didn't want that job until they fired the GM.
- 2:57:38Yeah, you got rid of trump, bulky.
- 2:57:40Finally, after all these years, get the best thing for the
- 2:57:42organization. I'll give you one more name too.
- 2:57:43The team that had the most injuries in the NFL and they
- 2:57:47made the playoffs. They want to playoff game, Ben
- 2:57:48Johnson, with the Bears. Yes, should be up there.
- 2:57:50Johnson. Definitely should get a lot of
- 2:57:53accolades for what he did, especially with Caleb Williams
- 2:57:56and and we'll see how Caleb Williams this assistant coaching
- 2:58:00Glenn. You know what really bothered me
- 2:58:03though? Tyler shotgun?
- 2:58:05Five first place votes for offensive Rookie of the Year.
- 2:58:08And dart, only got one first place vote.
- 2:58:12I'm gonna take jaxson Dart over Tyler, shuck every time.
- 2:58:15I'm sorry. He got those three games that he
- 2:58:18had good stats were at the end of season against third
- 2:58:21stringers. I I don't, I don't buy against
- 2:58:23Bad competition and they were in backups.
- 2:58:25I don't know. That is a good.
- 2:58:29You really New York, Giant. Tyler shot is better than I will
- 2:58:33take any bed right now right now.
- 2:58:36Don't worry, if there's anybody that needs a PR person for the
- 2:58:39New York Giants, there's one guy right there, that would be your
- 2:58:43biggest fan all interface. You're just upset because there
- 2:58:47are no PR sample for the Jets. Nobody wants to support.
- 2:58:50Are you kidding me? The Jets have like 5 Pride them.
- 2:58:53What do you mean, who I? I just like where the best know
- 2:58:56I haven't heard a single Jets guy ever thought of them.
- 2:58:59There's a lot of PR Jack that they're the best know.
- 2:59:02I'm telling you there's no confidence left in the whole
- 2:59:05family, don't bring up the Jets and try to raise the Giants up
- 2:59:09like their special, all right, because the tides have been just
- 2:59:11as bad. We got one first place vote for
- 2:59:15offensive. Rookie of the year.
- 2:59:16Carol Wilson won offensive Rookie of the Year and so did.
- 2:59:19And so did they wanted to offense?
- 2:59:21Not this year? It doesn't matter.
- 2:59:22It doesn't matter. And when was the last time a
- 2:59:25giant one? Oh Del one, chose trophy Once
- 2:59:28Upon a Time how long ago was that?
- 2:59:31Please stop with your stop. Put your Giants takes.
- 2:59:34I want to throw up. Anyways, we call this.
- 2:59:37Call your shots. I'm not an ex's and Ohs guy,
- 2:59:40right? I'm not a tactician.
- 2:59:42I'm a motivator in the classic sense of the word, you know,
- 2:59:44Lombardi, Charles Lindbergh, none over in India, like those
- 2:59:48people listen. I want some of that popcorn show
- 2:59:54me some of that popcorn Java, I catch it.
- 2:59:56See if I could do a virtual, there we go.
- 3:00:00If I could catch it through a screen, I mean I would be like,
- 3:00:04I would be magical. You know, catching that might
- 3:00:07happen soon with all the stuff that's going.
- 3:00:09That's true too. I mean, we could jump to a
- 3:00:11screen. Could you imagine that for no
- 3:00:12reality, right? No question.
- 3:00:14That would be cool. I gotta go to Nebraska, screw
- 3:00:16drive screw driving or flying. I'll just jump through a
- 3:00:19computer screen, save a lot of gas, save.
- 3:00:24A lot of everything. Free know, you, they somehow
- 3:00:28find a way to tax it. Oh no doubt about it possibly
- 3:00:31here. Absolutely, right?
- 3:00:35So, ladies and gentlemen, this is pretty simple.
- 3:00:38How we do this. We're gonna give you a take of
- 3:00:41something that could happen in the future, and we're gonna call
- 3:00:44it. That's how we're gonna do it.
- 3:00:46So and we're gonna call him. We're going to tell you why
- 3:00:49we're calling it. All right, we're gonna go with
- 3:00:51Speedy, we're gonna go with fish.
- 3:00:53Java me, here we go. All right, I'll start off with
- 3:00:56the Olympics that have just started.
- 3:00:57The host nation in Italy. In Milan is hosting it and
- 3:01:01they're actually off to a very hot Star right now.
- 3:01:02I've been watching them some of the figure skating with the
- 3:01:05different snowboarding events. A lot of them have metal so far.
- 3:01:08Right now, they are currently the leader, in total medals with
- 3:01:11nine right now. Italy has never finished in the
- 3:01:14top five in total medals ever. They were 19 9th and 11th in the
- 3:01:18previous Olympics and no host country outside of Russia when
- 3:01:22they hosted in 2414 was never a top three in their host.
- 3:01:26In when they hosted in the last century, I think Italy, I think
- 3:01:31Norway and us will be one and two because they usually always
- 3:01:33are I'm gonna say Italy finishes in the top three over Germany
- 3:01:37over sweet and Finland and other winter Powerhouse that you
- 3:01:40usually get there in total medals.
- 3:01:42All right. That's a good one speeding.
- 3:01:45I'm gonna continue Errol Next season, the New York football
- 3:01:50Giants are going to go not one, not two, not three, not four,
- 3:01:56not five, not six, seven, eight, nine ten, no 11 wins next season
- 3:02:01and now he's playing a lot way, smoking next season.
- 3:02:05Under the diligence of John Harbaugh, the combined efforts
- 3:02:12of Charles, Nagy, and Greg Noll Norman Norman, Greg.
- 3:02:16I might get here, too. Greg Roman, we're gonna be
- 3:02:24awesome on offense and then Abdul Carter already the number
- 3:02:27one quick. Pressure guy in the NFL, my
- 3:02:30goodness, it's going to be a playoff for the Giants and then
- 3:02:34the sky is the limit for their first.
- 3:02:36We don't need Greg, Norman's clutch, instincts, or lack of
- 3:02:38what we want, how we don't want, Greg Norman's net worth though.
- 3:02:44This is coming from an organization that hired not one.
- 3:02:47But two, Offensive coordinators, good luck.
- 3:02:49Know he's the Run game fortnite and assistant head coach hire.
- 3:02:53Two offensive coordinators to run that offense.
- 3:02:56There's a pass game guy and a run game.
- 3:02:58Yeah, very jet-like that's gonna fail, very good.
- 3:03:01I can't wait to watch this the Buckle.
- 3:03:03All right. Java what he got.
- 3:03:06Interesting catchers start tomorrow in.
- 3:03:08This is the year of the WBC and we have seen Japan and the us be
- 3:03:13kind of one of those teams that are everybody looks at to win.
- 3:03:16We know, Tommy said, he's not pitching, we know, judges the US
- 3:03:21captain But I'm predicting neither of them are went.
- 3:03:26Neither winning. I am going to go with Team
- 3:03:31Puerto Rico. and I say that, because Of who is leading that
- 3:03:39roster. And if you've seen the roster,
- 3:03:43It's fantastic. and when you look at Puerto Rico and
- 3:03:48everything that they do and they stand for and they obviously
- 3:03:51they love their baseball, I think it's literally, they're
- 3:03:56going to surprise people just because of everybody expects.
- 3:04:02Japan or us to win. And when you got yachty managing
- 3:04:06you, that's just an advantage because the Dude is just an
- 3:04:09absolute stud, and he's gonna get the best out of his guys,
- 3:04:13and you've seen it before. So Puerto Rico is winning the
- 3:04:16WDC baby. All right, my call.
- 3:04:21Your shot goes to the Washington Wizards.
- 3:04:24They added Anthony Davis, they added Trey young.
- 3:04:28They made their team that much better after the All-Star break.
- 3:04:32Anthony Davis will be back. They right now.
- 3:04:34Are they have 14 wins in 38 losses?
- 3:04:37I expect this team. This team to win at least 15
- 3:04:42more games. If they do, they fall out of the
- 3:04:45top eight. And that means the New York
- 3:04:48Knicks will be landing their pick in the off-season.
- 3:04:53Anything outside of the top eight, so my prediction going in
- 3:04:58to the second half of the season, is the Wizards win, at
- 3:05:01least 15 more games, which then they fall out of the top eight,
- 3:05:04which they lose their pick, and it goes to the New York Knicks.
- 3:05:07So, that is my prediction. The Knicks will land at either 9
- 3:05:11or 11. And get the Wizards pick after
- 3:05:15losing porzingis and not getting any first round draft picks for
- 3:05:19him. They're gonna land a first round
- 3:05:21pick where everybody thinks they're not gonna have one and
- 3:05:23the Knicks, not only will have one, but two first round draft
- 3:05:26picks this offseason, so that means if they want Yannis.
- 3:05:31They can get yawns. So let's go.
- 3:05:33There you go, that's my prediction.
- 3:05:35And I do believe this if the Knicks do not get into the
- 3:05:38finals with this roster Giannis will be a New York Knick.
- 3:05:41I do believe that there were a lot of teams interested in
- 3:05:44Yana's at the trade deadline. Why do you think nothing
- 3:05:47happened? Because honestly didn't want to
- 3:05:49go to any other teams and the next thing we want to trade OG.
- 3:05:51I know. Nobody.
- 3:05:52Yeah. Honestly not want to go to
- 3:05:54Minnesota. He did not want to go to Miami
- 3:05:57and those were the two lead teams that were likely to get
- 3:06:00him. He had no interest because he
- 3:06:01wants to win. He always wanted to be a Nick.
- 3:06:04I think that he's gonna wait until the off season if even if
- 3:06:07Milwaukee misses out. But Milwaukee made a couple of
- 3:06:09Trades, they could sneak into the playoffs and maybe make a
- 3:06:12run. They could, they could be a play
- 3:06:13in team, but I think even if they fall out as will be a
- 3:06:16nickname sheer especially if they don't win a championship
- 3:06:19because, yeah, I've Albert and coming back Jayson, Tatum could
- 3:06:23be back in the playoffs and they're saying that Jayson Tatum
- 3:06:25is almost a definite. We'll be back in the playoffs if
- 3:06:29the Celtics make a run. So Not the first round the
- 3:06:32second round, so the Nixon would have to contend with a you know,
- 3:06:35a somewhat healthy Jayson. Tatum if they if the Celtics get
- 3:06:39out of the first round and the next right now would match up
- 3:06:41against Celtics in a second round, two three.
- 3:06:43Yeah, so very interesting. The crap out of them, the other
- 3:06:46night. Yeah.
- 3:06:47Did you see Jalen Brown and and somebody's remarks to his team
- 3:06:51after they lost that game for some reason Jalen Brown can't
- 3:06:53stand the Nixon like his Turning Point always when they lose
- 3:06:57against the next. Oh, dude, Alvarado, Alvarado's
- 3:07:00making a difference. They switch Alvarado off and
- 3:07:03Brunson on defensively now when they're both out there and now
- 3:07:07he's like not a problem. It's not a problem.
- 3:07:10There hiding him defensively on the perimeter which they were
- 3:07:13unable to do before. It's pretty damn good.
- 3:07:15He's so happy. He's so happy to be there
- 3:07:17through man. You could see it, his father,
- 3:07:19his mother, his family was there and Alvarado, I think is gonna
- 3:07:22do, it's gonna help. For the regular regular season.
- 3:07:25But mainly for the playoffs against Cunningham, he did not
- 3:07:29play against Detroit when they play Cunningham.
- 3:07:32I expect him to be a big part of their run this year, and even if
- 3:07:35they miss out on winning a championship this year, they
- 3:07:39have a player's option for him next year, he'll be back next
- 3:07:41year and that means the Knicks will have money that may be
- 3:07:44bringing Dante Diva Chen. So they had a shooter and maybe
- 3:07:47honest. So and Dante is a free agent
- 3:07:49next year and I I could see Dante, coming back.
- 3:07:51They need another shooter and I think that could happen, so very
- 3:07:54interesting. Well, let's not talk about the
- 3:07:56off season the Knicks could still make a run for a
- 3:07:58championship. So we'll see.
- 3:08:00Anyways, when we come back we got King of the Hill and dial it
- 3:08:03up, but first another Sports minute with Mr. Giants fan
- 3:08:07himself, the overrated and crazy fish.
- 3:08:12This is the job and the mouth Sportsman.
- 3:08:17What is up everybody? It's Aaron Fishman, so,
- 3:08:20overrated and underrated. I got some stories for you and
- 3:08:24then we got the scores in basketball tonight, Danny Hurley
- 3:08:27and the universe of Connecticut Huskies, 18 game winning streak
- 3:08:31ended at the hands of Rick Pitino.
- 3:08:33Saint John's Red Storm on Friday night. 8172 at Madison Square
- 3:08:37Garden going into the game. Ranked number three behind only
- 3:08:41Michigan and unbeaten. Number one, Arizona, the Huskies
- 3:08:43could not continue rolling against the legendary coaches at
- 3:08:47the time. 22nd ranked Saint, John Squad Pitino.
- 3:08:50The wind moves him into a third place tie all-time in Division.
- 3:08:55One men's basketball history with 9303 wins tying him with
- 3:08:59Roy Williams. The great coach from North
- 3:09:01Carolina and Kansas this season. Without number two, in number
- 3:09:04five, draft picks from last year Dillion Harper and a spelling.
- 3:09:07The expectations are not as high for the Red Storm, but Tino's
- 3:09:11crew will have started playing more Smash Mouth Old School, Big
- 3:09:16East Brandon. The ball that UConn had trouble
- 3:09:19with UConn. Coach, Danny Hurley said after
- 3:09:21the game as hard as a game, we've had to play this year.
- 3:09:24They're grown ass men. Mitchell Hopkins edgy 04 when
- 3:09:29you have to play them in Biggie's games, it's the way
- 3:09:31that the game is going to be officiated in conference play.
- 3:09:34They're billed for Big East games.
- 3:09:35While Saint John's was upset, last year's NCAA and that last
- 3:09:39year's NCAA tournament this year and maybe primed to make a long
- 3:09:43run. Especially after his later
- 3:09:44showing playing a style that wins at least in the Big East as
- 3:09:48long as they have enough shooting.
- 3:09:49And then a story from ESPN's, Adam schefter on Friday, the
- 3:09:53Atlanta Falcons are now expected the part ways with quarterback
- 3:09:56Kirk Cousins, before the start of the league year on March
- 3:09:5911th, this will allow cousins. Who is done incredibly well for
- 3:10:02himself in contracts in the NFL making somewhere around, 300 and
- 3:10:0621 million dollars in his career.
- 3:10:08He gets a chance to negotiate for yet another huge bag at the
- 3:10:12start of free agency and should have a number of suitors and
- 3:10:15what is considered to be a bad quarterback.
- 3:10:16Have this April, the Falcons and cousins recently, reworked his
- 3:10:20contract to have only 2.1 million guaranteed this year.
- 3:10:22And the rest pushed off until 2027, which would make his base
- 3:10:26salary that year, almost 70 million, that salary will be
- 3:10:29guaranteed at the start of the league year, therefore the
- 3:10:32Falcons are clearly cutting him and moving on from one of the
- 3:10:35dumbest ideas. Any general managers ever had
- 3:10:38paying Kirk Cousins, all that money only to move the draft
- 3:10:42Michael pennings Junior in the top 10.
- 3:10:44Then neither one of them setting the world on fire, it definitely
- 3:10:47got very fonzo, note their general manager fired, Arthur
- 3:10:52Blank and the Falcons brass at the end of this regular season
- 3:10:54cousin who may end up in sports. Meeting may also get one more
- 3:10:57big contract is a bridge QB for a team in desperate, need of
- 3:11:01confident play behind Center, perhaps even a team that plays
- 3:11:05in the metal lands. Guys, we are streaming live on

- 3:12:40I'm not gonna kiss you Speedy. Now, I'm definitely not gonna,
- 3:12:42but I do like that it is beautiful and look, you know, it
- 3:12:46has a little like, heartbreak on the back that's being like,
- 3:12:50great. Yes, it's very creative.
- 3:12:52Very, very nice. As I, I'm just like a hat
- 3:12:55collector. I love my hats.
- 3:12:56So yeah. Hey Ariel.
- 3:12:59I gotta I got a correct myself from the Sportsman real quick.
- 3:13:02I just found out from research in the backstage.
- 3:13:05I could have sworn Mikhail and Miles.
- 3:13:07Bridges were brothers. They're not related at all.
- 3:13:09They were just drafted in the same year, had the exact same
- 3:13:12last name. Spelled the same way.
- 3:13:13Both have, I was gonna say something, but I was, I did know
- 3:13:16that Mikhail Bridges doesn't have a brother.
- 3:13:18So, I could have sworn, I could have sworn, they were related
- 3:13:22the entire time there in the NBA.
- 3:13:23The bigger the bigger miles Bridges is still playing after
- 3:13:26what he did. Yeah, that's another thing.
- 3:13:28I mean, I am very surprised he still.
- 3:13:30I mean, he just got put in a headlock by Isaiah Stewart.
- 3:13:33Who's a massive individual? You got to watch that fight.
- 3:13:36When you get a chance, I say a store for him going to LeBron.
- 3:13:39I do very much. So I like his answer to Stewart.
- 3:13:42So I remember when he went after Braun and he started throwing
- 3:13:46punches at and brought, all he does his talk crap.
- 3:13:48But Ronnie, I mean, his hair is like his hairline is pushing so
- 3:13:53far back. I think, if I say a Stuart
- 3:13:56landed upon his hair, his hair probably would have pushed even
- 3:13:59further back. So that's a whole nother story.
- 3:14:02Anyways, we call this king of the help here.
- 3:14:05This Bobby is the Beltline you never ever hit below that kind
- 3:14:11of King of the Hill. You dumb.
- 3:14:13This is King of the Hill. Ah, man, that's the music that's
- 3:14:22played in a while. Well, welcome back.
- 3:14:26To King of the Hill. Oh, this is everyone's favorite.
- 3:14:30Kind of like round robin trivia game.
- 3:14:33We're gonna bring everybody and we're gonna bring in our new
- 3:14:35interns for this one. Dom and Zoot are gonna pop on
- 3:14:38in, that's cool Java. If you can, get the camera back
- 3:14:41in, in the second one, we start this round.
- 3:14:43We're gonna have just gonna explain to everyone who's
- 3:14:46listening at home speed. If you just turn the music down,
- 3:14:48just a touch, I'll let them know about the peasant fight, which
- 3:14:51is around one. Everybody's gonna have to answer
- 3:14:53a question. You're going to have a top
- 3:14:55three. We're gonna go in like a snake
- 3:14:57draft type fashion going down and then the last person goes
- 3:15:01twice. And then back the other way,
- 3:15:02Whoever has the best three will be decided by King Arrow, who
- 3:15:06will say, who moves on to round two, which is the joust, new
- 3:15:09question's. Same idea.
- 3:15:11Give us your top three, for whatever the question is.
- 3:15:14And then how old is decide who decides, who comes on to take on
- 3:15:18the king. At that point though, we go from
- 3:15:20monarchy to democracy. Everybody back in.
- 3:15:22We vote on Earth. Eero keeps his crown on the last
- 3:15:26question or in movies on to the Challenger.
- 3:15:29Are you guys ready to play? A king of the hill, four bag.
- 3:15:34Okay, I'll take that as a, yes. All right, let's move this on to
- 3:15:38the King of the Hill camera. Which is just our favorite
- 3:15:41camera over here. It's part.
- 3:15:43Here is the first one. In fact, we're gonna go to this
- 3:15:46one. Now that we have it, I don't
- 3:15:47care if geometry know, I don't All right.
- 3:15:52Let's get into it. Here's the first round.
- 3:15:58Oh man, best Super Bowls of all time.
- 3:16:02So the way this game works, you can't just tell me the Super
- 3:16:06Bowl and who was in it. You got to tell me why, give us
- 3:16:09me, at least one reason why that is the best Super Bowl of all
- 3:16:13time. You're being judged Errol
- 3:16:15basically whatever you want but I know you like when they
- 3:16:18explain themselves Manifesto and Make good points.
- 3:16:21Let's get it going best time. Please, you know, we we don't
- 3:16:29need you to read off chat sheet know we're not good.
- 3:16:34We don't have the numbers of the Super Bowls chambered, he can
- 3:16:37look it up, but you need to have your own reasons.
- 3:16:40Here we go. Let's get the camera started and
- 3:16:44we'll just go this job but we'll pop in.
- 3:16:47We'll have Java go last it'll be Speedy.
- 3:16:49Dom Zoot and then Java for two All right, I'm gonna start it
- 3:16:55off with 1979. It was the the Steelers and the
- 3:16:58Cowboys when they played the second time.
- 3:17:00And those were two of the best defense, obviously the Steel
- 3:17:01Curtain with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
- 3:17:02That doomsday Dallas defense and yet what we got here was a high
- 3:17:06scoring game back and forth, the Steelers ending it late.
- 3:17:08I believe on a touchdown by John Stallworth Lynn Swann, I believe
- 3:17:12was the MVP in that game, and it was a high scoring game for the
- 3:17:1570s which you never see. If you look at all the super
- 3:17:18bowls of the 70s, you barely ever saw even teams, getting the
- 3:17:2020 points. So back and forth, I gave one of
- 3:17:22the higher scoring Super Bowls ever.
- 3:17:24And it was in the 70s of two teams with a lot of Hall of
- 3:17:27Famers. Okay, I gotta go with Super
- 3:17:33Bowl, 40. You 2005 bricks dealers,
- 3:17:36Seattle, Seahawks. And now Google campus.
- 3:17:38First of all, not just a Super Bowl Run for the Steelers that
- 3:17:42year but they were the first succeed ever make Super Bowl
- 3:17:46that year, all right. It was Jerome better since last
- 3:17:48year. Big been told him to come back
- 3:17:50in, 2004 going to retire. Big been told him to come back.
- 3:17:54Came back Big. Bend me the shoe, string tackle
- 3:17:57for your own beds to save the touchdown from the cold defense.
- 3:18:01The Colts kicker, missed the field goal that game.
- 3:18:04So they went on, they wanted to its Championship when he will
- 3:18:09and they want to win it for drone medicine.
- 3:18:14All right, Zoot. Gotta go another Steelers, Super
- 3:18:19Bowl, Super Bowl 43, 2009, Steelers Cardinals.
- 3:18:23One of the most exciting finishes in Super Bowl history.
- 3:18:27Plus you had one of the best plays in this and Super Bowl
- 3:18:31history with James Harrison's, 100 yard pick six to end the
- 3:18:35first half and then come to the end of the fourth quarter.
- 3:18:38You get a exciting back and forth game Larry Fitzgerald long
- 3:18:42touchdown right down the middle of the defense and then the
- 3:18:45Steelers, come back the other way with a long drive and
- 3:18:48Santonio Holmes. Just a few plays before he makes
- 3:18:52the catch of his life, has a wide open drop in the end zone
- 3:18:55and then two plays later, one of the best catches and Super Bowl
- 3:18:58history to win a Super Bowl and when Super Bowl MVP, it's got to
- 3:19:02be my pick. all right, looks like Jabba's a little busy right
- 3:19:06now so we're gonna go to Tommy poops on remote joining us for
- 3:19:12two, a deuce from the deuce, man, produced from the poops,
- 3:19:18man, I guess you could say too. But, all right.
- 3:19:20So basically, I'm gonna go with as a non-biased Giants fan
- 3:19:24whatsoever. I'm gonna go with probably the
- 3:19:27best Super Bowl of all the time. The Giants beating the
- 3:19:29undefeated Patriots, the code has been 190 Patriots, ended up
- 3:19:33being the 18 and 1 Patriots to the New York Giants.
- 3:19:36Absolutely Stellar Place. Stellar amazing catches.
- 3:19:40What that one? Of course, Eli Manning getting
- 3:19:43out of the pocket managing to make that David Tyree catch on
- 3:19:47top of that. A couple places later doing what
- 3:19:49he did, not 9% of the world, get it done.
- 3:19:53That's gonna be my first pick in since I have a number two.
- 3:19:55I'm gonna also go with the Colts and Bears Super Bowl that really
- 3:20:01was the one that put Tom Tom Brady, excuse me.
- 3:20:04That was the one that painting of course.
- 3:20:06Peyton Manning. No other team being a third
- 3:20:08seed. Ever, even made it to the Super
- 3:20:09Bowl. At that team.
- 3:20:10You had. You had him Tom.
- 3:20:12Brady. Finding an AFC, then you get to
- 3:20:14the Super Bowl and what, an amazing showcase that was you
- 3:20:17had the Bears with Devin Hester. And that amazing way to start
- 3:20:20off a game. You had an absolutely amazing
- 3:20:22team in the Colts. Absolutely full of a hall of
- 3:20:25famers and legends that that one has to actually be up there on
- 3:20:28the Mount Rushmore. Super Bowls.
- 3:20:30Let's go back the other way suit for second one I got to go.
- 3:20:34The second Chiefs 49ers Super Bowl which ended up in overtime.
- 3:20:42I mean, that game was high scoring back and forth.
- 3:20:46Good offense, some good defensive plays too and then
- 3:20:49coming down with that confusing, end of the first overtime where
- 3:20:54the clock was running down and the chiefs were just being
- 3:20:57patient and everyone watching at probably every every Super Bowl
- 3:21:02party. What are the Chiefs doing?
- 3:21:03They're letting the clock run down, but they seemed like they
- 3:21:05were the only one who the new overtime rules in the playoffs.
- 3:21:09Where all they were gonna do is flip side and the fields, but it
- 3:21:12didn't matter because they ended up scoring right on the end too.
- 3:21:15Definitely one of the most exciting Super Bowls of recent
- 3:21:18memories, he and Patrick Holmes. I know nobody likes Patrick
- 3:21:21Mahomes but I like him. He's an exciting quarterback to
- 3:21:24watch what another Super Bowl. All right.
- 3:21:29Yeah, like that. Take but, um, yeah, I'm gonna
- 3:21:31have to say, the, the Ravens and 49ers when the lights went out
- 3:21:37called the blackout brawl. Um, that was an absolutely
- 3:21:42insane. Super Bowl as the current state
- 3:21:44of him myself. I want to see the Ravens get
- 3:21:46absolutely killed that game, but of course, they were doing the
- 3:21:50doing the killing that game through the 49ers until the
- 3:21:53Lights Went Out. Kobe Jones returning that second
- 3:21:56half touchdown being up 20 to 6 crazy and then when the lights
- 3:22:01go out a whole different atmosphere and Vibe comes back
- 3:22:04out 49, come back surgery back one in that game 34 to 31 with
- 3:22:10Colin Kaepernick at the helm, the hardball to Harbaugh
- 3:22:14brothers. That was just an awesome Super
- 3:22:16Bowl so nice to see. So nice to see the 49ers.
- 3:22:20Come back in the night game. That was one of the most iconic
- 3:22:23Super Bowls and one of the best Super Bowls to his death.
- 3:22:27All right, Speedy for two, before I get to my purpose
- 3:22:30before I get to my picks a dollar.
- 3:22:31It was funny. I was in high school with that
- 3:22:33suit, that's Super Bowl happened and my friends and I had a
- 3:22:35conspiracy because I was here, he got suspended.
- 3:22:38Got revenge on the scene parking station because it was at the
- 3:22:41Superdome and they messed up their Stadium.
- 3:22:45All right, so I'll go to, I'll go to back to back here kind of
- 3:22:47two, three years apart these two Super Bowl.
- 3:22:50Let me start with the Rams and the Titans won.
- 3:22:51Then when it ended one yard short, that tackled by Mike
- 3:22:54Jones on Kevin Dyson. After Kevin Dyson, I was Music
- 3:22:58City Miracle the week of before, to beat the Buffalo Bills, I was
- 3:23:01the greatest show on Turf with that Rams offense, it was Jeff
- 3:23:04Fisher's defense and ended up actually containing him decently
- 3:23:06throughout that game. Steve McNair.
- 3:23:08Rest in peace was a good quarterback at that time.
- 3:23:11Played very well in that game back and forth but it's not
- 3:23:13about to do it. When you're doing one yard short
- 3:23:16as the final play of a Super Bowl, not to put that one up
- 3:23:19there. And again, these are two teams
- 3:23:20that just relocated to the Ramsey Lewis and Houston Oilers
- 3:23:24after never making the Super Bowl in Houston, going to
- 3:23:26Tennessee. So I'll take that one as one.
- 3:23:27And I'll reference one that we mentioned earlier with kind of
- 3:23:31Walker now. Winning Super Bowl, MVP with the
- 3:23:33last one. Being Terrell Davis, I grew with
- 3:23:35Harold, he should not be a Hall of Famer.
- 3:23:36He was like a three or four-year Peak guy.
- 3:23:38I was surprised he got in as quickly as he did but he was
- 3:23:40Super Bowl MVP for the Broncos against the Packers that are
- 3:23:43friendly. Roy Butler, unfortunately, I was
- 3:23:46a very good back and forth game, John Elway and Brett Favre to
- 3:23:48good coaches at that time. Good, very offensive schemes and
- 3:23:51John Elway making that crazy run to get him into the Red Zone to
- 3:23:54set up that play for the Broncos, and he went The first
- 3:23:57of back-to-back Super Bowls their first ever in their
- 3:24:00franchise history. So soccer, as my second, one in
- 3:24:0398, All right, back to Dom. All right.
- 3:24:07Well this is I know a lot of people hate Tom Brady.
- 3:24:10A lot of people hate Patriots. I do myself.
- 3:24:13But I gotta go the 28 to 3. Super Bowl, England, Patriots
- 3:24:16versus the Atlanta Falcons. Now, that was an absolute crazy
- 3:24:21comeback. Um, I believe that is the
- 3:24:23largest depth to come back and doable history after being down
- 3:24:2725 points. Um, I'm never forget that lucky
- 3:24:30catch with Julian Edelman in between like six, Atlanta
- 3:24:35Falcons Defenders all this done him getting his little right arm
- 3:24:39on that football in between their legs and catching that
- 3:24:43coming down with that I knew right?
- 3:24:44Then in there. Something something something
- 3:24:47was going on. Tom Brady, leaving those game,
- 3:24:49winning drives, those two point conversions, and then finally
- 3:24:52tapping it off with the jeans White.
- 3:24:55Touchdown at the end of the game ended and come back from 28 to 3
- 3:25:00deaths it Matt Ryan great year that year.
- 3:25:02But Fortunately, his defense couldn't hold up and get the job
- 3:25:06done. So that rooster is a cock.
- 3:25:09All right, Zoot. And I'm gonna go to another
- 3:25:15Patriots, Super Bowl, 2015, Patriots, Seahawks, it was a lot
- 3:25:20better than the most recent edition of Patriots.
- 3:25:22Seahawks, another game going back and forth.
- 3:25:25Well remember that Jermaine Kearse catch on the final
- 3:25:29Seahawks Drive. I really thought the Patriots
- 3:25:31were about to go down as someone growing up in New England.
- 3:25:34Not a Patriots fan. I hated them, you know, I love
- 3:25:38nothing more than being able to go to school the next day, and
- 3:25:40make fun of all my Patriots, fans friends.
- 3:25:42And when Jermaine cursed me, that catch, I thought I was
- 3:25:46about to be able to do that again, the next day they get
- 3:25:49down to the goal line, one yard line.
- 3:25:50All you got to do is give it to Lynch.
- 3:25:51The biggest, the best power back in the league.
- 3:25:55Pete, Carroll tries to get cute and Malcolm Butler just makes
- 3:25:59the play of his life. All right, and Tommy finish it
- 3:26:03out. All right, so I was actually
- 3:26:05going to go with that one too, but since that one was taken, I
- 3:26:08will be going with the Saints and Colts Super Bowl, where Drew
- 3:26:12Brees did it finally and won himself his first and only ring,
- 3:26:15but you know that definitely did wonders for him in his career.
- 3:26:17That he was that guy that guy, that can lead a team to her
- 3:26:21franchise that did wonders for Sean, Payne's career and it was
- 3:26:23just an overall great game. Overall, you had to be one of
- 3:26:27you stick a crazy assistant actually go for an onside kick
- 3:26:29out of halftime. And like I said, both teams were
- 3:26:32just absolutely amazing on fire that entire season.
- 3:26:34Both teams had undefeated season going into like week 15, which
- 3:26:37is absolutely amazing and I just didn't do it against anybody.
- 3:26:41He did against Peyton Manning. So that's got to be up there.
- 3:26:44Of course, we want to keep us all time.
- 3:26:47All right. Arrow, who's moving on to round
- 3:26:49two. The house.
- 3:26:50I'll let you choose. All right, I'm gonna go with
- 3:26:55speedy and I like Zoots picks. We're gonna go with suit.
- 3:27:00We're gonna move you on YouTube, guys.
- 3:27:02Back into the backstage. We're gonna move on to the next
- 3:27:04round. Here it is.
- 3:27:05We'll just pop down off, he'll be right hanging back here it is
- 3:27:09round two, the joust, all right, no points or anything but a new
- 3:27:15question you get same idea. Go back and forth.
- 3:27:18There won't be you go twice in a row in this round.
- 3:27:21Just back and forth. Arrow will decide who goes
- 3:27:23first, this one best plays in Super Bowl history.
- 3:27:30So, you can go through the annals of the 60 different,
- 3:27:34Super Bowls that have happened. Tell us what the best place in
- 3:27:38those games, where Zoo you're gonna start off, then speed to
- 3:27:41go, then I'll go back. I'm giving you the advantage.
- 3:27:43All right, I'm gonna go to the Super Bowl I already mentioned.
- 3:27:48Super Bowl 43 and the first half.
- 3:27:52The Arizona Cardinals are driving looking to take the lead
- 3:27:55and James Harris, and it's supposed to Blitz.
- 3:27:57He's a Blitzer. That's what he does.
- 3:27:59He doesn't drop into coverage. But instead he decides, you know
- 3:28:01what, I'm gonna I'm gonna back off.
- 3:28:03This isn't even one. I'm supposed to do this play,
- 3:28:05but I'm gonna back off. He backs off.
- 3:28:06Kurt Warner, doesn't see it coming at all, makes the pick.
- 3:28:10Not only picks it off to stop the Cardinals from scoring and a
- 3:28:14goal line situation runs. It 100 yards back all the way
- 3:28:18for a touchdown to completely change the game.
- 3:28:24You gotta go with the guy, go with the helmet, catch for the
- 3:28:26Giants and say David Tyree, Eli Manning with the escape to which
- 3:28:30that was probably the only time he ever did that.
- 3:28:31I just career because he could barely run.
- 3:28:33Are you a meat Bender? Know?
- 3:28:35I'm not a meat Bender, but Eli Manning bent out of several
- 3:28:38Patriots players, including when we've had on the show in the
- 3:28:40past and Jarvis Green, to make that escaped and throw the ball
- 3:28:43downfield. David Tyree catches it right in
- 3:28:45front of a Hall of Famer and Ronnie Harrison, Willie Walker
- 3:28:47Speedy, tough. That one up there has arguably
- 3:28:51the greatest You're up, okay. I'm gonna stay in the same game
- 3:29:01and go to The Santonio Holmes in the back of the end zone to win
- 3:29:05the Super Bowl. A guy that wasn't really even a
- 3:29:08star receiver, he was just kind of a role player.
- 3:29:10He made some good plays. Just sit in the back of the end
- 3:29:13zone. The toe tap.
- 3:29:15I mean, it's probably as close as you can get getting that toe,
- 3:29:20barely down before he fell down. Probably one of the best,
- 3:29:24probably a top three catching Super Bowl history and the fact
- 3:29:27that it was a game winner makes it one of the best offensive
- 3:29:31plays of all time in the throw by Big Ben that might be the
- 3:29:34best throw in Super Bowl. History, just over the defender,
- 3:29:37not too far right in the corner of the end zone to win the Super
- 3:29:40Bowl. All right, back to Speedy.
- 3:29:43All right, I'll change it up a little.
- 3:29:44Let's go for some, let's go for some special teams here about 20
- 3:29:48mentioned, the the Saints Super Bowl, why not the ones like kick
- 3:29:50that on site? Kick out of a play callers.
- 3:29:53You can go for Sean Payton going out of the gate.
- 3:29:55The Saints this is their first time ever in the Super Bowl.
- 3:29:57This was a team that was previously dysfunctional
- 3:30:00forever. They didn't make the playoffs
- 3:30:0119809 and come out with an on-site kick.
- 3:30:03Thomas More study, who is still punching asleep.
- 3:30:07So it's crazy. I've got his career as a punter,
- 3:30:09but coming out of the gates with that kind of momentum changer.
- 3:30:12I get to Peyton Manning in Indianapolis Colts.
- 3:30:14Number one seed, that just won the Super Bowl three years to be
- 3:30:19up there. For special teams plays ever
- 3:30:22take shit. All right, last ones Zoot.
- 3:30:26I'm gonna buy a Steelers fan, so I'm gonna go to another
- 3:30:28Steelers, play the trick play in 2005 against the Seahawks.
- 3:30:35Antwan Randall out, double reverse passed down the field to
- 3:30:40Hines Ward. Just I mean you really teams try
- 3:30:45to bring out a lot of new stuff in the Super Bowl to try and
- 3:30:48throw teams off but you don't see stuff like that usually.
- 3:30:51Yeah sure you see sometimes some Passes by non-quarterbacks,
- 3:30:57Maybe not, maybe at the goal line, or maybe in a short
- 3:31:00yardage situation, but to have a wide receiver through it, like
- 3:31:0450 yards, down the field for a deep touchdown.
- 3:31:07You really never see plays like that in the Super Bowl.
- 3:31:10So the double reverse pass. Antwan Randall.
- 3:31:13Heinz Ward for me. All right, Speedy, finish it up.
- 3:31:17All right, I'm gonna, I'm gonna finish it up with the, I'm gonna
- 3:31:21with, Julian, edelman's catch, and that's Super Bowl, 51 that
- 3:31:23you guys mentioned. I mean, yeah, there was a little
- 3:31:25bit of a lock involved. Robert all for the ball and
- 3:31:28probably should have just tried to deflect it instead of trying
- 3:31:30to go for the interception. But Julian Edelman like when he
- 3:31:33was saying before, smothered around two safeties behind him,
- 3:31:36with the Falcons, Ada linebacker that was coming over there and
- 3:31:38to make that kind of catch in traffic in that moment.
- 3:31:42But with Tom Brady, backed up as well as they did.
- 3:31:44They needed a prayer basically and I think that like
- 3:31:48athletically difficult this Tyrese, but I think in terms of
- 3:31:53the awareness, in terms of the just having all those Defenders
- 3:31:56around him, he's gotta be up there.
- 3:31:57This makes my pecker hard All right.
- 3:32:00Earl, who's moving on. I'm gonna go Zoo.
- 3:32:04All right, let's go round for you.
- 3:32:06Very good. Let's bring everyone else back
- 3:32:09into the stage. And we're gonna get right to the
- 3:32:15last round of this one. And this one is a fun one.
- 3:32:18You guys get. To take on the king, we're gonna
- 3:32:22see if Zoot is gonna be the king next week.
- 3:32:25So, here you go. We're done with the.
- 3:32:28We're done with football in the show.
- 3:32:29After this question, reasons, why the Patriots lost and the
- 3:32:35Seahawks won this game. Either, you can say it's the
- 3:32:40Patriots lost because of this or the Seahawks won because of
- 3:32:44that, whether it's, you know, more on one team or the other
- 3:32:47however you want to phrase it. I want you to have fun and be
- 3:32:51creative with this. We've talked about it all show.
- 3:32:53Its time Arrow. You are the reigning king.
- 3:32:55Would you like to go first or second?
- 3:32:57I'll go first. All right, let's begin.
- 3:33:02Everybody knows why they won that game dominant defense.
- 3:33:05I mean the defense absolutely completely stuffed.
- 3:33:09They're running game in the second half and they couldn't
- 3:33:12they couldn't throw against him digs was their big Power
- 3:33:15Superstar wide receiver, he couldn't get open, nobody could
- 3:33:20get open on that booty, whatever his name is the Booter, I he
- 3:33:24couldn't get open know, and Drake Maye.
- 3:33:26Just couldn't throw the ball. He didn't have time to throw the
- 3:33:28ball because he was sacked, how many times six times, it was
- 3:33:31just complete Annihilation defensively.
- 3:33:35Zoot. I'm gonna say the New England
- 3:33:39Patriots lost because they didn't deserve to be there.
- 3:33:42The New England Patriots? They were good this season.
- 3:33:45They improved a lot from last season, don't get me wrong, but
- 3:33:49they played literally the easiest schedule of all time.
- 3:33:54They played three teams with a winning record, the Buffalo
- 3:33:58Bills twice and the Pittsburgh Steelers.
- 3:34:00Neither of those teams were that great this year, the Steelers.
- 3:34:04Nah, they make the playoffs and lose every year.
- 3:34:07They're never a contender and the bills, well there, usually
- 3:34:10contenders every year, because of Josh Allen they were at the
- 3:34:13same team this year, they didn't have the defense or the weapons
- 3:34:16like they normally do. The Patriots simply were
- 3:34:20outmatched by a team that deserved to make it to the Super
- 3:34:23Bowl. And then in the playoffs, the
- 3:34:25Patriots played against the Chargers, who their o-line was
- 3:34:29completely decimated. Just in Herbert, didn't play a
- 3:34:32good game, then they play the Texans where CJ, Stroud plays,
- 3:34:35maybe the worst game of football, I think I've ever
- 3:34:39seen. I mean, if you just plays
- 3:34:41average, the Texans probably when that game and then they go
- 3:34:45to Denver where they play against the backup quarterback,
- 3:34:47who if he didn't make that one mistake with that backwards pass
- 3:34:51Denver might have won that game. The Patriots were simply
- 3:34:54outmatched because they just didn't deserve to be there.
- 3:34:57They were a great team, they improved a lot.
- 3:34:59They did a lot of really good things this year and he deserved
- 3:35:02to be second in MVP voting, but the Patriots just worked nearly
- 3:35:07as good as Seattle was a true Super Bowl team.
- 3:35:11The page. All right.
- 3:35:13Let's move on to the next one Errol.
- 3:35:15But just absolutely dominate code dominant and coaching by
- 3:35:19Mike McDonald. I mean, you're talking about
- 3:35:21Mike Frabill. He had such a good season.
- 3:35:24Everybody was giving him the coach of the year, but Mike
- 3:35:26McDonald, I said it on my story. We're gonna see who the better
- 3:35:29Coach is when they go to the Super Bowl and you just saw a
- 3:35:33complete domination, Mike McDonalds defense, completely
- 3:35:36out coached. And I'll played Josh McDaniels
- 3:35:40and and my Frabill Mike had nothing to say at the end of the
- 3:35:44game throughout the from from the first quarter to the fourth
- 3:35:47quarter, the transition, even his second half, the change of
- 3:35:50pace was all Mike McDonald, he just completely out coached at
- 3:35:55all. Play cold with his coaches, my
- 3:35:58April and Josh McDaniel, All right, suit.
- 3:36:03The Seahawks skill players on offense made so many more plays
- 3:36:08than any of the Patriots skill players.
- 3:36:10They're really wasn't anywhere where the Patriots still player,
- 3:36:13Andre Stevenson Diggs booty, none of them really did
- 3:36:17anything. I don't think digs digs had
- 3:36:20like, one or two catches. He didn't do much, he's supposed
- 3:36:22to be their star player but the Seahawks jsn had a good game.
- 3:36:26He had a few nice catches Cooper.
- 3:36:28Kupp had a nice game with a few caches and then Kenneth Walker
- 3:36:31just an absolutely dominant game and it was certainly helped by
- 3:36:36Seattle's whole line having maybe their best game of the
- 3:36:39year too, but 170 total yards for Kenneth Walker.
- 3:36:43I mean, especially when the Patriots skill players aren't
- 3:36:46doing anything on the other end, if a guy's gonna have a 170
- 3:36:50yards, it's going to be tough to stop that offense.
- 3:36:52All right. Last ones Errol.
- 3:36:56Well, he used the offense, so I'm going to have to, I'm gonna
- 3:36:59have to say that the Patriots defense.
- 3:37:01The Patriots defense, just didn't show up in the big parts
- 3:37:04of the game. They couldn't stop Kenneth
- 3:37:06Walker. This was the best, the second
- 3:37:08best run-stopping team in all of the NFL and Kenneth Walker, ran
- 3:37:12all over them and specific parts of the game, where they needed
- 3:37:14the clock up, the middle, even take them on the outside.
- 3:37:17It was just horrible defense by the Patriot specially in his
- 3:37:21second half. When you think Mike rape is a
- 3:37:23defensive minded coach and he always says sight.
- 3:37:26He comes from the Bill Belichick coaching, you know, the coaching
- 3:37:29system where you stopped the best guy and who's was their
- 3:37:32best guy offensively throughout the game.
- 3:37:34Kenneth Walker, you would have thought and second half they
- 3:37:37would stop Kenneth Walker specialty.
- 3:37:38How good their their defense in that front seven is they
- 3:37:41couldn't stop him still. So I would say the Patriots
- 3:37:44defense. Absolutely was a debacle
- 3:37:46especially our last one Zoot for the end of game.
- 3:37:51Well, we talked about offense, we talked about defense, how
- 3:37:54about the Special Teams, Seattle's special teams played
- 3:37:57amazing, not just the kicker Jason Meyers a Super Bowl
- 3:38:01record, five field goals. But I want to talk about the
- 3:38:04punter, he had two punks inside the five yard line.
- 3:38:08He had another one inside the 10th when you're offense is
- 3:38:12struggling already. When you're that backed up, it's
- 3:38:17so much tougher to get something going, because you can get three
- 3:38:20first downs in a row, and you're not even at Midfield yet.
- 3:38:24So when you're offense is already struggling and you're
- 3:38:27and the other teams punishing you back every single time, it's
- 3:38:32it's impossible to just get anything going without getting a
- 3:38:36deep ball which we saw Drake may try to force one and it was an
- 3:38:40interception. I got to go special teams made
- 3:38:43just an even bigger impact. Then they're already was on both
- 3:38:46sides of the wall for Seattle. Special teams.
- 3:38:49Just put the nail in the coffin. All right.
- 3:38:52So now we're going to vote and I'm going to just read off what
- 3:38:55the different reasons. You guys said Errol gave
- 3:38:58Seattle's defense, Mike McDonald, dominating Vrabel and
- 3:39:02Patriots defense. Specifically, the run defense
- 3:39:05not showing up specialty. Late in the game, Zoot didn't
- 3:39:08deserve to be there because of their easy schedule and path to
- 3:39:11the game. Seahawk skill players made more
- 3:39:14plays than Pat skill players and Seattle special teams.
- 3:39:17I'm giving this one the arrow two to one.
- 3:39:19I loved your special teams take there at the end suit.
- 3:39:22I think that was one of the ones special the panther, you know,
- 3:39:25pin them back. I love that but I Gotta Give the
- 3:39:28Seattle defense is definitely the reason they won this game.
- 3:39:31So I got to take that over your reason and McDonald's.
- 3:39:34Dominating variable is I think more important than what the
- 3:39:37skill players did in that one. So I'm going to go with arrow on
- 3:39:41this one. Speedy.
- 3:39:43How do you vote? Yeah, I'm voting.
- 3:39:44The same way. I think the defense was
- 3:39:45definitely the number one factor and I think the discrepancy in a
- 3:39:48coaching advantage to and so we were judging more of Like the
- 3:39:51in-game concepts like, yeah, that we know the Patriots, got a
- 3:39:54cakewalk schedule, obviously. And I think there a lot of teams
- 3:39:57in the ASC that would have gotten exposed by that Seahawks
- 3:40:00team this year. But I think that wasn't much of
- 3:40:03a game Factor. So I, that was probably the
- 3:40:05lowest of the six for me. All right, damn, how do you
- 3:40:10vote? Gotta go Zoo.
- 3:40:14But that special teams going at the end.
- 3:40:15I think was a very important factor that benefits not only
- 3:40:20Seattle's defense playing in there but also they're offensive
- 3:40:25if they don't get a first down, they Punta.
- 3:40:26You get bald Midfield. I think that's special team,
- 3:40:28stick big one. So I got to go do here.
- 3:40:31All right, two to one, Tommy. Yeah, um, dude, I think it's
- 3:40:37really good points. I mean, of course, I said that
- 3:40:39the Patriots are all had a Mickey Mouse schedule of a
- 3:40:41schedule all season long. And of course, that dude, that
- 3:40:44punter was absolutely amazing. I kept watching him.
- 3:40:46Inside the five, there's two times.
- 3:40:47I was just like, damn, this dude does not miss, and what a great
- 3:40:51way to start. Punting on a great day.
- 3:40:52But honestly, the two ultimate deciding factors has to be just
- 3:40:55a fact that that defense just looked.
- 3:40:57I mean, like, girl, mention two before during the monologue, it
- 3:41:00just looked like the old legion of boom defense.
- 3:41:02You know, you had a, if you were an old Seattle, Russell, Wilson,
- 3:41:04fan, and everybody, and all the days back in legion of boom
- 3:41:07days, you love that that defense yesterday.
- 3:41:09And on top of that, Michael McDonald just absolutely out
- 3:41:12coach Mike Grable. So that was ultimately, the two
- 3:41:15things, I mean, the win and on top of that, the Patriots
- 3:41:17defense, like Ariel mentioned so.
- 3:41:19Right. They know what that means by
- 3:41:22voted three to one. Errol is King of the Hill, once
- 3:41:26more. Thanks for playing everybody.
- 3:41:30We'll play again, sometime soon. You were really good man.
- 3:41:33You takes. Yeah, fantastic and thank you.
- 3:41:36The only thing I would say that you made a mistake is, is their
- 3:41:39schedule their strength, the schedule to get there.
- 3:41:41I that have nothing to do with the game, you know?
- 3:41:43So if you, if you would have gave another take that had
- 3:41:48something to do with the game, I might have one go away.
- 3:41:51I I mean there was some takes that you made a special team and
- 3:41:54all so Gonzalez. He played fantastic.
- 3:41:56I mean, he shut down the the wide receivers on that side, but
- 3:42:00the Patriots can stop the run game.
- 3:42:03That was the, I think the the problem why the Patriots
- 3:42:06couldn't beat them or couldn't even keep in the game and, and
- 3:42:09you're right. Myers was unbelievable.
- 3:42:10So he really was. So there you go.
- 3:42:13That was great. Job Errol, we got one segment
- 3:42:16left. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, we
- 3:42:19call this dial it up. This regular, we got up.
- 3:42:30About oh boy. Well, welcome back to It up,
- 3:42:36everyone's favorite lightning round Sports News segment, we
- 3:42:39got five stories, Arrow hasn't heard them, he's gonna see them
- 3:42:42for the first time and dial up a reaction.
- 3:42:45And then we will react to his first take on it.
- 3:42:49Are you guys ready to dial? It all first story taking care
- 3:42:55of the closer, Emmanuel Class A apparently.
- 3:43:00It gets worse than we thought or maybe we thought it was this
- 3:43:03bad, I don't know. But a manual claw say is now
- 3:43:06being accused of manipulating his pitching performance in at
- 3:43:11least 40 games over a 26 month. Period from 2023 to 2025, to
- 3:43:19benefit gamblers. This is now updated the scope of
- 3:43:24the investigation. It looks like he along with
- 3:43:28teammate. Luis Ortiz, accepted thousands
- 3:43:30of dollars in bribes to help gamblers in the Dr. When about
- 3:43:36half a million dollars, Obviously, that covers
- 3:43:40apparently a quarter. 25% of all games, Clase appeared in, in
- 3:43:46that time period. Dial it off.
- 3:43:51Oh my God, then find out that there was 48 games, that he was
- 3:43:55involved with making, you know, making valuable bets and stuff
- 3:43:59like that. It, it just says one thing.
- 3:44:01How did the MLB not know about this story?
- 3:44:03How did the FBI link this? And, and again, we don't know if
- 3:44:08a manual Class A had anything to do with the playoffs and what
- 3:44:11against the Yankees, the Yankees were hitting home run after home
- 3:44:15run against them, completely dominating him.
- 3:44:17This is a horrible story. It just shows you that bedding
- 3:44:20is only going to get worse. These players are going to get
- 3:44:23more involved. We had, we've had many people
- 3:44:25Tim Donaghy on the show, saying that it's gonna be more.
- 3:44:28It's gonna factor into college sports, it's actually college
- 3:44:32basketball, even worse. This is not a good story for
- 3:44:35baseball and and again, baseball is going to have to nip this on
- 3:44:38a bus, but before it gets worse, remember baseball would be on
- 3:44:42strike next year. Maybe with the new CBA rules,
- 3:44:45they'll have something involved with sports betting and how if
- 3:44:49they do it. More than one time, they're
- 3:44:51completely banished from the game of baseball. all right,
- 3:44:56it's it's frustrating to me because I know I know it
- 3:45:01happens. I didn't think it was to this
- 3:45:04extent, but what are you taking thousand?
- 3:45:08When you're making millions, what the hell?
- 3:45:10Is the point? Like what like are you really
- 3:45:13making that much? Because it originally came out,
- 3:45:16it was only 15,000. And now it's more games and he's
- 3:45:20helping. So, is he getting kicked back?
- 3:45:22You're already making eight million dollars.
- 3:45:24What the hell is? Another 1530 Grand.
- 3:45:26That's another Breitling, watch or an automatic games whatever
- 3:45:31you want like a Rolex, I don't care.
- 3:45:33Like, that's the part that I don't understand.
- 3:45:35And obviously, they're from a different culture.
- 3:45:39Don't understand that will never say I do.
- 3:45:42But we all have more orals. We're all human beings.
- 3:45:44We know what's right wrong. And for you to not only just
- 3:45:49dabble but like to be like 48 games, I mean that's how much a
- 3:45:54quarter of the Season depending on if you if you take a 162 and
- 3:45:59I just I don't I don't understand it.
- 3:46:01It makes the game look terrible. In so many ways.
- 3:46:05And which way I think it it's not looking great, and we're
- 3:46:11going to lose Because now we're going into a year where it's
- 3:46:15going to strike and then there's a bad taste in people's mouths.
- 3:46:17Not only on the strike but with betting and everything that goes
- 3:46:20on top of it that's gonna lead into the season.
- 3:46:23When we don't come to agreement, that is just like it's stacking
- 3:46:27on stacking and it's just not. The game is in a great place.
- 3:46:30There was nothing better than what major league baseball
- 3:46:34wanted this postseason with Canada.
- 3:46:36Would Japan with you, Dominican? I mean, we had everything that
- 3:46:40Major League Baseball could want.
- 3:46:41Now we get a slap in the face to find out this was worse than it
- 3:46:44was, and now we're fighting for our lives.
- 3:46:47So hopefully, hold on to the season.
- 3:46:48It's just gonna leave a worst taste, and it doesn't make it
- 3:46:52and because now they're finding this out, what are they going to
- 3:46:55do? Now, they're gonna dig more.
- 3:46:57They're gonna dig more, and it's like an iceberg.
- 3:47:00You only see a little bit and we're.
- 3:47:01Now we're gonna hopefully, we don't see any more for the sake
- 3:47:04of the game and the Integrity of the game.
- 3:47:07But damn, how long did it take to find all the rest of this
- 3:47:11stuff out? Who knows how many more people
- 3:47:13deep it is. And I just, it's just not a good
- 3:47:16position or a good state of where the game should be and 48
- 3:47:20games. How does the, how does the
- 3:47:21baseball not think of this out 48 games?
- 3:47:24He was biting on that. Number is what I like.
- 3:47:28Can they pin? Did they go?
- 3:47:30Did they have an arbitrator? Did they have one dude's job
- 3:47:33like zoo or Dominican literally sitting going through every
- 3:47:37game. Like, oh, that picture.
- 3:47:38Remember what he did the first time he Through a ball here now.
- 3:47:42Okay, 40. Okay.
- 3:47:43Look at the like how do you come to that number?
- 3:47:46That's what I bet you, there's somebody inside to where they
- 3:47:50they looked at enough. Dialogue and video to be like it
- 3:47:55was 40 a games. Yeah, and like I said, job
- 3:47:58that's literally one out of every four games he appeared in
- 3:48:01in two years. So, that's crazy.
- 3:48:04Next next story Errol, I know you're gonna love this.
- 3:48:08Not really do got upset by you and yeah, yeah.
- 3:48:12And it led, so let And they led the whole game UNC charges, the
- 3:48:18court. And apparently some Duke
- 3:48:22staffers, got rocked in the face by some UNC fans in this upset.
- 3:48:27When I came back, this is coach, John sure.
- 3:48:31I came back in the locker room and I see, he's got a bloody lip
- 3:48:34and he's disheveled and he didn't know what happened.
- 3:48:37He got trampled on the floor. That was my main concerned after
- 3:48:40the game. That's why I said, what I said
- 3:48:41what I said, sure lost his mind a little bit.
- 3:48:45In the post game conference was very unhappy with how it was
- 3:48:49done. And if you remember, last year,
- 3:48:51I believe it was Houston to Kyle.
- 3:48:53Phillip house key that got hurt in one of those games.
- 3:48:59I think it was also against UNC, where they got hurt with another
- 3:49:02crowd storming Duke loses. The only dropped one point one
- 3:49:06in the standing. They're still fine Errol.
- 3:49:10Let's see about the future of crowd storming here.
- 3:49:14If they can't stop from being aggressive to the players and
- 3:49:18coaches, Dial it up. If I'm gonna storm at one of the
- 3:49:21coaches, I'm knocking out, John shot.
- 3:49:23Okay, I'm not knocking out anybody, but Jon scheyer because
- 3:49:28he's a complete moron. How do you let UNC come back in
- 3:49:32this game? You're dominating the whole game
- 3:49:34and then the last again, last three minutes of the game.
- 3:49:36Absolutely choked. We saw that against Houston in
- 3:49:39the final four. When you were up by 12 with what
- 3:49:42two, and a half minutes left, it's an absolute debacle and any
- 3:49:45comes out. Yeah.
- 3:49:46I'm if I'm one of the fans too, I'm not knocking out you, I'm
- 3:49:49not gonna get your coaches, I'm not gonna get players because
- 3:49:52you're gonna get knocked out of the tournament.
- 3:49:55The way you finish games as far as them driving on the, this is
- 3:49:59been going on forever. It's been going on forever.
- 3:50:02If the coach is no, it's going to happen, they're not the home
- 3:50:05team, you know what? You do, get the hell off the
- 3:50:07floor, and John shires crying about it.
- 3:50:09The only thing he should be crying about is him not getting
- 3:50:12knocked the hell out. Because if I was on that floor,
- 3:50:14I'm not knocking him the F out. That's it because he's a
- 3:50:18complete. Where did we already mentioned
- 3:50:21this? A while back moron that if Duke
- 3:50:23does win a championship with John, I'm a Duke say we're
- 3:50:25invited Carl of the parade before Arrow because Carl Lewis
- 3:50:287 stood by Jon scheyer forever. I think is an idiot, trust them
- 3:50:34the way. They actually have like one of
- 3:50:36the highest rated. Kebab seems, ever by keep
- 3:50:38trusted with Jon scheyer is a game, no time out the end of the
- 3:50:42game. Definitely not ideal.
- 3:50:43Um, going back to what you were saying, fish.
- 3:50:45But the court storming, I always said that Court storming and
- 3:50:47said they were football too. Is a lot of times more reserved,
- 3:50:50for those bigger upsets those those ACC schools or those like
- 3:50:54non-power for schools that that wasn't a big upset.
- 3:50:56And obviously, it wasn't a big upset.
- 3:50:58They were on defeated know, I know that I'm not, I'm not
- 3:51:01saying that I'm okay with that actually even in a rivalry
- 3:51:03incense, I think that's why they're trying to reduce it as a
- 3:51:06whole. But again in a rivalry like Duke
- 3:51:08North Carolina, when North Carolina is dude, you ain't
- 3:51:11barely rank you and C should have even.
- 3:51:12Yeah, back in. I'm I don't have a problem by 10
- 3:51:16with two minutes almost two and a half minutes left.
- 3:51:19And you choked. Again, the game was over.
- 3:51:21Yeah, I get, I wouldn't storm the court all the time just
- 3:51:24because if it's a road upset like you're ranked on ranked but
- 3:51:26this is fine. It's cool.
- 3:51:28Coach feel bad for the guys to the coach that climbing at
- 3:51:30calling timeouts, at the proper time, which John Shea her John,
- 3:51:34she has no understanding on how to do that.
- 3:51:36He stinks. That's all it is.
- 3:51:39And again, if I was on the basketball court, I'm I'm
- 3:51:42running. And I'm gonna punch somebody out
- 3:51:43punching him out because he doesn't know what the hell he's
- 3:51:45talking to and he's crying to the media stop.
- 3:51:48Dude, you stink. Well, at least there's a media
- 3:51:51to cry too. This next story, kind of scares
- 3:51:54the crap out of me and of course, it's Rob Manfred know.
- 3:51:57Please, the MLB in the union have agreed to use AI of players
- 3:52:05to interact with fans, how wonderful.
- 3:52:08So this means basically, there's going to be AI avatars of
- 3:52:14players that Converse directly To people like replicas of Jabba
- 3:52:21would talk to job as fans. Now I don't know how the money
- 3:52:26is going to work. Is far as the likeness in Ai and
- 3:52:29how players are going to get paid.
- 3:52:31I'm assuming there's something to it but it was a greed by MLB
- 3:52:35players in the business arm of the NBA, MLB players Association
- 3:52:38and the company Jeannie's. There's going to be interactive
- 3:52:42conversations, personalized interactions, year-round
- 3:52:46engagement and of course commercial offerings.
- 3:52:48There's going to be roll out in the this year and it's going to
- 3:52:53be contributed to some AI fan experiences.
- 3:52:56MLB wants to do going forwards with fans remotely.
- 3:53:02Errol. It's a Brand New World.
- 3:53:07First of all, am I gonna get a chance to speak to an AI version
- 3:53:10of Roman and tell him how stupid he is?
- 3:53:12I mean seriously, this is the dumbest dumbest thing.
- 3:53:15I understand it's starting to transition.
- 3:53:17You don't need AI to talk to, to be this speaker for the players
- 3:53:22that you could reach out to the players, there's social media,
- 3:53:25there's actors Instagram. Why do I want to speak to AI if
- 3:53:29I want to speak to AI, I'll just go reach out to Chad GPT or
- 3:53:32Google AI and how the conversation to my self.
- 3:53:35This is the most dumbest stupid ass ridiculous move that
- 3:53:41baseball has brought to the table and if anybody copies
- 3:53:44baseball it just shows you how stupid and how dumb every
- 3:53:47organization has its a dumb move.
- 3:53:49Baseball. Should not be doing this.
- 3:53:50Eventually, it will happen. Eventually, we'll have robotic
- 3:53:54professional athletes. But right now where, what, five
- 3:53:58years into Ai and we're going to have ai speaking for the
- 3:54:01players. It's damaged stupid, it's
- 3:54:03dumbass they're not speaking for the players.
- 3:54:05They're gonna be their gonna The player they're going to even
- 3:54:08more players that's even they're going to pretend their job.
- 3:54:11Yeah, they're speaking. They're speaking of that.
- 3:54:14That's where that's where I hate it and I don't care what the non
- 3:54:19I guess. Extrovert people but that takes
- 3:54:24away from my brain because what if AI is not like the way I
- 3:54:28perceive things or the way and I don't know, obviously I'm not
- 3:54:32that smart but if I'm having a conversation am I just agreeing
- 3:54:37with you and like having a great conversation and like just
- 3:54:40making you feel good? Like no.
- 3:54:42Like if you don't like what I'm saying, I'm telling you because
- 3:54:45like that's my opinion and that's how I feel like Okay, am
- 3:54:49I getting paid for it? Yeah, you have to if the PA
- 3:54:52agreed to it. it just goes into our license, check But at the
- 3:54:57same time you're affecting my brain.
- 3:54:58Because now what if this mom or dad or brother sister Aunt Uncle
- 3:55:02comes to me and he's like oh you agree on such and such topic and
- 3:55:07I'd be like no I that wasn't me. That was AI me.
- 3:55:12Like, you're taking away from my brand personally. like, Is AI
- 3:55:17that so far along where they follow me and granted our
- 3:55:22phones. Listen to us like everything, I
- 3:55:23type that is related to my name. Is that all taken into my cloud?
- 3:55:28To where that's how it's going to respond.
- 3:55:30Like, let me get a trial run with this, like have somebody
- 3:55:33interact and let me approve of it.
- 3:55:35And if I'm okay with it, then I sign off on.
- 3:55:38It's like, that's why Barry Bonds was never in any video
- 3:55:41games or trading cards because he didn't sign with the PA.
- 3:55:44Because he wanted his own brain. You're affecting my brand
- 3:55:48because how the hell do I know what AI is going to say to this
- 3:55:52person? I'll go one further Java.
- 3:55:55How does it creepy house? Creepy as hell.
- 3:55:58And who, who in their right mind.
- 3:56:00Like so this eight year old kid. I have a son, granted, he's a
- 3:56:03sophomore in college. But say when he was 12, he
- 3:56:07wanted to talk to his favorite player and it's like, oh, I can
- 3:56:10spend 100 bucks and you can talk to AI, like I would be a shity
- 3:56:14parent. That is terrible. like, hey, you
- 3:56:18could talk to the fake him, but he looks like him and you're
- 3:56:20having a conversation like That's what we're creating for
- 3:56:23our children know. Yeah, and Java.
- 3:56:26It's it honestly like it's probably like, oh, hello, I'm
- 3:56:30Java Chamberlain by Upper Deck baseball cards.
- 3:56:33I giving you subliminal messages because they have Partnerships
- 3:56:36and I just keep thinking of that Old South Park episode with like
- 3:56:40the doll, and it's like to keep telling them, however, with the
- 3:56:43subliminal messages because it's got its own brain, they have an
- 3:56:47ulterior motive, these AIS, man. I don't trust it for a second.
- 3:56:51I wouldn't want kids playing with it.
- 3:56:52It doesn't imagine a world like that, it doesn't help podcasting
- 3:56:56either when, when you get a chance to listen to your
- 3:56:58favorite player. And if you're, if you're doing a
- 3:57:00podcast, are you gonna go out to have somebody reaches out to you
- 3:57:03on the social media? Marketing says, I reached out to
- 3:57:06you as this year and you're going to be like, no, I have a
- 3:57:08set that was my butt. I didn't even yourself.
- 3:57:11So okay, so let me let me present this question this for
- 3:57:15everybody. So still part of the
- 3:57:18association, what if somebody? Wants to interact with me.
- 3:57:23Are you gonna let me know or you just sending me a check?
- 3:57:29I I guess that's something that they must have worked out.
- 3:57:32I can't wait Java to find that. I'm sure we're gonna end up
- 3:57:35another stupid, Rob fans for deal.
- 3:57:37It might be a trip that shows up from the PA, and I'm like, what
- 3:57:40the hell is this for Rob Manford?
- 3:57:42But he knows man, who knows? Jackass just crazier than after
- 3:57:47the crazier. This was a crazy move.
- 3:57:49I don't know. I kept thinking of the legendary
- 3:57:52booty Miles when Lindsay exactly and Boobie had a torn ACL when
- 3:57:59he wanted to go in and it did not go well for booby.
- 3:58:01When he went in, it did not go well for Lindsey Vonn as she
- 3:58:05attempted to go downhill after like the first or second, turn
- 3:58:09she wiped out. Apparently, she has a complex
- 3:58:13tibia. Fracture and is going to need
- 3:58:17multiple surgeries on top of the torn ACL.
- 3:58:20She ate it super hard. They had the helicopter off the
- 3:58:25the course I guess and it's took about a half hour.
- 3:58:29So I'd really say today, pretty terrible.
- 3:58:32But, you know, maybe you shouldn't be trying to compete
- 3:58:36in the Olympics with a torn ACL. You're not Kurt Angle with a
- 3:58:39broken neck over here, Arrow dial it.
- 3:58:43Up. First of all, that's one of the
- 3:58:44hardest downhill courses in the world.
- 3:58:47And one of the fastest, I think it's not even snow.
- 3:58:50And and, and you have a torn ACL going into, you know, the
- 3:58:54practice turns and everybody, his car coach was out there
- 3:58:57speaking for her and saying, oh, she looked good on a practice
- 3:59:00turn when you're competing you have to go faster and you know,
- 3:59:04you got to go faster. How did you think on a torn ACL?
- 3:59:08She was gonna be able to go down one of the hardest Hills in the
- 3:59:12whole world. It makes no sense.
- 3:59:13I knew it was going to be a catastrophe before it even
- 3:59:17happened. Brittany actually told me before
- 3:59:19you got a chance to see it at 5:30 in the morning, that there
- 3:59:22was a whole big story, that Lindsey Vonn fell down and
- 3:59:26almost killed herself and it was horrible to watch.
- 3:59:29When she is an Olympic champion, she such a great Samaritan,
- 3:59:33perfect person when it comes to the Olympic sports.
- 3:59:35And then a father came out and said my daughter should have
- 3:59:38never done this. She would.
- 3:59:40And and I and he said, he went out there today.
- 3:59:43When she was speaking to one of Yahoo sports is, uh, analyst.
- 3:59:47And writer says, you will never see my daughter compete in the
- 3:59:49Olympics ever again, period. That's what he said.
- 3:59:53So it's a horrible story, to see her go down the way she did.
- 3:59:55And the final thing, you're gonna remember of Lindsey Vonn
- 3:59:58is that absolute crash and being flying off the court flowing off
- 4:00:03the course for the last time of her Olympic Championship career.
- 4:00:07So it's just horrible story. Yeah, I was absolutely
- 4:00:09devastating injury for something.
- 4:00:11I see there's a lot of risk when you're already doing. 412 for
- 4:00:15somebody. Yes she started her first
- 4:00:16Olympics were in Vancouver in 2010 and she was young.
- 4:00:20Yeah thank you John. Yeah she had two World
- 4:00:23Championships I believe that the two years before that so 41
- 4:00:26years old. It was obviously it timing.
- 4:00:28It just sucks with those happening.
- 4:00:30Right before the Olympics is always one of the unfortunate
- 4:00:33things and for somebody that is 41 years old and it's just
- 4:00:36trying to build on when it's already an amazing Legacy that
- 4:00:38she has in skiing and like you're saying Harold the slalom
- 4:00:41course is the tough. One too, with the flags, with
- 4:00:44the changing direction with those Hills, it's a lot more
- 4:00:47difficult. For somebody like, it's like the
- 4:00:49second hardest question to go downhill from in the world.
- 4:00:54And she's, and as fast as it is down, the course.
- 4:00:57She on a torn ACL. She thought she was gonna get
- 4:01:00down there. Yeah, and timely fashion, I
- 4:01:02gotta here, but being, just with the years too.
- 4:01:04Like you're not gonna be able to compete another Olympics.
- 4:01:06Again, you get the incentive, we talk about with guests all the
- 4:01:08time. Like it's so hard to give up the
- 4:01:10game that you love and the sport that you love.
- 4:01:11And that's obviously her head were saying oh she shouldn't
- 4:01:15compete and I'm having a leg injuries and surgery and all
- 4:01:18that stuff saying yeah she wasn't 100% healthy.
- 4:01:21She was 100% healthy. That's fine.
- 4:01:23It's Lindsey Vonn letter. Let her try to win another a
- 4:01:28bronze medal or a silver medal. Gold medal, she wasn't 100%
- 4:01:31healthy. She just had ACL surgery, a year
- 4:01:34and a half ago and she's they before the tournament before the
- 4:01:38preliminary things they said that her other knee wasn't 100%
- 4:01:41healthy. If you know that in your coach
- 4:01:43knows that and he's being interviewed by all the media,
- 4:01:46why would you let her go out there?
- 4:01:48And Rest her life. Yeah, and Italian.
- 4:01:51Downhill skater, a man's Italian skater, I mean ski or less, what
- 4:01:56was it? Six, seven months ago, went
- 4:01:58downhill over there in the same downhill competition in a world
- 4:02:02championships and die. Yeah, and there's been there was
- 4:02:05the US stop bobsled guy that died too and one of those
- 4:02:08training as well. It's very scary.
- 4:02:10A lot of those training facilities too.
- 4:02:12And the other thing too is, I mean, I see the Skiers looking
- 4:02:16up to her gonna say, I want your spot anyway but that could have
- 4:02:18been a spot for somebody else to make their first Olympics.
- 4:02:20So like it's you know, there was gonna get.
- 4:02:22But again that's the Dilemma run.
- 4:02:24It's your first Olympics. You want to say and if it's and
- 4:02:27a father was a competitive skier.
- 4:02:28Yeah, he was a great competitive skier.
- 4:02:31If he knew her, his daughter wasn't 100% healthy, why would
- 4:02:35he let her go on that downhill and actually competing the
- 4:02:39Olympics? I don't care.
- 4:02:40If it's Lindsey Vonn, you're putting her at risk.
- 4:02:42She could have died. She could have died on that
- 4:02:45course, that was horrible to watch and it's remember Lindsay
- 4:02:49Vonn going down like that an Olympic champion.
- 4:02:51It's just horrible to say, lot multiple surgeries may never, I
- 4:02:55mean, I'm assuming it never. All right.
- 4:02:59Last story tonight guys, we made it this one.
- 4:03:01I couldn't I didn't realize this was happening to this extent but
- 4:03:05yeah, still queeg. Was found guilty of obstruction
- 4:03:10of justice. He's facing up the 20 years.
- 4:03:12He has been sentenced and May 26th, but you know what?
- 4:03:16His defense was no for obstructing justice.
- 4:03:20His lawyers claimed that when he pled guilty, originally, he
- 4:03:25didn't mean to. He just has a third grade
- 4:03:29education. and does not understand how to do these legal
- 4:03:36proceedings, you speak of Basically was their defense, he
- 4:03:40did not win Shocker on that defense.
- 4:03:43He initially played guilty to a felony charge of lying, to
- 4:03:47federal agents investigating, of course, an illegal gambling
- 4:03:50operation. He took a plea in August of
- 4:03:532022. After acknowledge racking up
- 4:03:56about a quarter million dollars in losses.
- 4:03:57Over just a few months. I pled guilty.
- 4:04:01Let's just say, it didn't go. Well, he wanted to clear his
- 4:04:05name. I never should have agreed to
- 4:04:08plead guilty to a crime. I did not commit.
- 4:04:10Well, the courts said, he committed it.
- 4:04:13And I mean, regardless of the fact that he's probably going to
- 4:04:17jail for a while, probably won't be a full 20 years, but he's
- 4:04:19going to jail. This is got to be one of the
- 4:04:22dumbest defenses I've ever seen in my life Errol.
- 4:04:27Dial it up. Here's my question.
- 4:04:29If I Was a Serial Killer and I didn't graduate from the third
- 4:04:33grade, and I killed about 10-15 people, oh, I didn't graduate
- 4:04:38from the third grade. So I guess I should be acquitted
- 4:04:40for everything. I'm not smart enough.
- 4:04:42So I killed everybody. I mean, the way you eat string
- 4:04:46cheese dogs, you know, I kill string cheese.
- 4:04:48I I kill string cheese, so you're absolutely right.
- 4:04:51I I mean, this is a horrible. Terrible, dumb.
- 4:04:56Ridiculous story and I remember Yasiel Puig, he was a good
- 4:04:59player. I watched him play for the
- 4:05:01Dodgers and and he bounced around at the tail end of his
- 4:05:04career. But the guy wasn't smart, he
- 4:05:06never was smart. Even when he spoke to the media,
- 4:05:08you couldn't understand him and when he did on when he did
- 4:05:11understand him, it was like, it's like talking to a child.
- 4:05:14So maybe he didn't graduate from the third grade, that's fine.
- 4:05:17But when you come out and say, well, the reason why this will
- 4:05:20happen is because I didn't graduate from the third grade.
- 4:05:22It just tells me, you're trying to hide more things and just
- 4:05:27Show people that even dumber than you look.
- 4:05:29I again, if I was a serial killer and I didn't graduate
- 4:05:33from the third grade and I killed 15 people.
- 4:05:36And the first thing that I say, when I'm speaking to, you know,
- 4:05:40the judge and the jury and they asked me well, why did you do
- 4:05:44this? Well, Fudge.
- 4:05:46I kill 15 people because I didn't graduate from the third
- 4:05:49grade. I'm just I'm stupid.
- 4:05:51What can I say judge? Let me go.
- 4:05:53I'll never do it again. What I mean?
- 4:05:56Well, let anyone who wants to come in just jump in over the
- 4:06:00top. All I have to say about it is I
- 4:06:02work with kids that are special needs and have, you know, a
- 4:06:05third grade education. They understand right from
- 4:06:08wrong. They understand they wouldn't
- 4:06:09have done something like this. This ridiculous.
- 4:06:11Ridiculous. Excuse.
- 4:06:14I, I can't even believe it. He's probably, I mean, I guess
- 4:06:18he's deserves what. All right, John Wayne Gacy.
- 4:06:21I'm John Wayne Casey, I killed over 30, something boys, and I
- 4:06:26buried them in my garden. And under, in my basement, my
- 4:06:29crawl space and and they asked me, they interview me.
- 4:06:32And they say, well, John, why did you do this?
- 4:06:35Sorry I I didn't graduate from the second grade.
- 4:06:38I wasn't taught from right and wrong.
- 4:06:40I I'm sorry. Just let me go.
- 4:06:43I I just killed 34. 34 35 boys. I mean I'll never do it again
- 4:06:48sir. I promise.
- 4:06:49I didn't know I could do that my bad.
- 4:06:52I'm sorry. I didn't know.
- 4:06:53I couldn't kill people for a living.
- 4:06:55Don't know. Yeah.
- 4:06:57Makes anyone got anything to add on this one?
- 4:07:00Because I mean, otherwise that's it for the night on another
- 4:07:04great episode of dial. It up.
- 4:07:07Unbelievable. Unbelievable.
- 4:07:10Yasiel Puig. I mean, how stupid could you be?
- 4:07:13I mean, wow. I and honestly, you know, just
- 4:07:17who is it? Trevor Bowers agent.
- 4:07:20There you go. I mean, Trevor's a nice dude,
- 4:07:23too. By the way, up front door.
- 4:07:25It was nice. It was nice to me.
- 4:07:30I know Tom. I don't like him.
- 4:07:32Right, like him. I just I just know more than I
- 4:07:36can say. I know, I know, I know, I, I
- 4:07:38know he's not it a good person but he was nice to me.
- 4:07:42I mean, that's it's a statement. I say about Aaron.
- 4:07:46So I guess I can't be a hypocrite.
