  Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: So our lead this hour is from Denver. The AFC
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: side early game talked earlier about the Seahawks and the
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: Rams as Seattle that gets a gift the muffed punt
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: by the Rams sending Seattle to the Super Bowl. You're welcome.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: You're welcome now in Denver, Drake May and the Patriots
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: entered as the biggest road favorite in the history of
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: Championship Sunday in the NFL IS. The Broncos were going
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: with the backup quarterback Jared Stidham. So has never seen
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: a team favored by more on the road than the
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: New England Patriots. The game played in the first half
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: in good conditions and then by late third quarter it
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: was a snow globe game. In the third late part
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: of the third quarter and the fourth quarter. So I
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: don't know if you saw this or not. It made
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: for compelling television late in the game. It was not
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: the most aesthetically pleasing matchup in the world. Maybe not though,
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: But in the frigid, snow swirling AFC Championship game there
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: at Mile High, Mike Vrabel coach the Patriots to survive
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: and advance as they get it done with their defense.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: They win a slug fest over the Broncos, where nobody
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: played well at the quarterback position, although you wouldn't know
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: that from the media giving tongue bash to Drake May.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: Ten to seven the final ten to seven the final,
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: as the Patriots win and advance with the snow building
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: up as the game progressed in the second half, their
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: New England getting you tell me their defense in this
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: particular game. So they're on to Super Bowl sixty where
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: they will take the Seattle Seahawks on that'll be coming
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: up a week from this Sunday, so almost two full
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: weeks to go here as this is early on a Monday.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: Drake May did score the Patriots only touchdown, a six
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: yard scamper. I like the word scamper. You don't use
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: the word scamper much other than football scamper. Yeah, scampered anyway,
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: late second quarter there for the Patriots. So that was
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: the only score of the game in terms of the touchdown.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: The better story is in the losing locker room. A
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: lot of people up in arms in the post mortem
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: at Broncos coach Sean Payton, who's getting cooked for his
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: decision to go for it rather than kick it. And
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: if you didn't see it, let me set the game up.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: So the Broncos got an early touchdown. Lightning struck early,
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: so the Broncos had a seven nothing lead all the
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: way into the second quarter. Was seven to nothing Broncos.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: Early in the second quarter, Jared Stidham and the Broncos
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: offense was they were right there, set up deep in
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: Patriot territory for a chip shot field goal. It was
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: fourth down and Sean Payton said, no, no, no, I'm gonna
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: go for it. I we should go for it rather
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: than kick a field goal. Go up by two scores.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: He said no, So Peyton deciding to not send out
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: the field goal unit and send the offense back out
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: fourth down and won and from the fourteen yard line.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: How did that turn out? Yeah, the Broncos rolled out
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: Jared Stidham on a pass play and he was pressured
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: and it fell harmlessly incomplete. That's it. That's all. See
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: you later. Denver did not score again. That was it.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: He did not score the rest of the game. Now,
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: when asked why he didn't just take the points right,
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: just take the points up by two scores, you've got
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: your backup quarterback who sucks in the game, Peyton, Well,
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: he got defensive is what he got. Do we have
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: the audio? Here's a Sean Payton tike A Lias.
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: Just felt like, man, we had momentum, momentum, momentum, get
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: up fourteen and felt like we had a good call
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: where we at yard line wise there point Yeah, I
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: think I think the feeling was, man, let's let's be
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: aggressive to get up fourteen. I was just watching the
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: way our defense was playing.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: Okay, all right, so let us discuss. That's a good
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: jumping off point. The question, what is your read on
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: what you just heard Sean Payton saying the Broncos had momentum, momentum,
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: The Broncos had momentum to justify his decision to pass
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: up a chip shot field goal and go up by
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: a touchdown and a field goal. So my observations, I
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: have cross examination, Paris and police, and we will combine
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: all of these things together. One, two, and three. We're
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: gonna play Connect three. We're gonna play Connect three. So
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: number wa number. So when I heard Sean Payton's response,
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: I knew one word applies here. Buffoonery. Buffoonery. Sean Payton
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: knows he made the wrong decision. How do I know that?
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: He said momentum? He said momentum. He doesn't believe that
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: he knows. That's just get out of Joe free card.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: Because stupid people love momentum. Dumb people love momentum. They
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: can't get enough of it. They want it. Oh, I
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: need my momentum. It's ridiculous. Sean Payton screwed up. He
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: did the thing you can't do at the time, you
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: can't do it, and then he uses the momentum card
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: from the bottom of the deck. Momentum is the adult
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: version of a boogeyman. You know you're a kid. I
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: can't have the Boogeyman's under my bed, the Boogeyman's in
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: my closet. If you're an NFL coach. The boogeyman momentum. Oh,
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: it's momentum. Come on. It only exists, of course, to
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: help you, help you explain why you made a dumb decision.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: In this case, Sean Payton leaned in to momentum on
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: cross examination. On cross examination, momentum has the structural integrity
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: of a wet cardboard box, is what it's got. Okay,
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: playing a backup quarterback who has proven he's no good
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: and you got points right there. You already got that
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: Fluke early touchdown, so you got to touchdown in your
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: back pocket the field goal. Drake May, I don't even notice.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: He was pooping his pants in that game for the Patriots,
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: So the Broncos defense was man handling Drake May. You
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: go up by two scores, and you increase the degree
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: of difficulty for the Patriots offense in that case, and
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: so chips outfield goal, take the points, And no, I'm
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: not gonna take the points. Why would I do that?
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: No?
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: No, Why would I squeeze the air a little more
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: air out of the Patriot's sideline and give Drake May
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: a tighter spinter? If I'm Sean Payton, why would I
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: do that. No, Instead, Sean Payton trusted his backup suck
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: back quarterback in Jared Sidham like he was prime Drew Brees.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: Did Sean Payton know that that was not prime Drew
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: Brees while he does now? And shocker of shocker, Jared
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: Sidham did what Jared Sidam supposed to do. He did
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: a face plant right there. The moment was too big.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: And you toss in the fact that they knew the forecast. Now,
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: he didn't change. We did Benny versus the Penny in
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: the middle of the week. The forecast was much different,
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: and so we did not know at the time we
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: did that that there would be blizzard like conditions in Denver.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: We knew there was a big storm coming across the country,
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: but not necessarily for the Bronco game. That changed. The
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: weather pattern changed, So you know that going in and
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: what this means Sean Payton guilty of coaching malpractice in
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: this game. For the Broncos fourth down failure. You had
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: the clown car fumble. That's a whole different can of worms.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: The fumble by stadium. Was it a forward pass? Was
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: it not a forward pass? That was the twelve yard line,
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: which gift wrapped things for the Patriots in that case. Now,
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: most games are lost, not one. That's always the way
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: it is. It is always the way it will be
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: as long as human beings are involved. Most games are lost,
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: they're not one. So there is that in this case,
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: though it was the pure hubris of Sean Payton. I
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: don't the circus of the officiating is one thing. Did
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: anyone think that Gene Sterotare did a good job on that?
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: By the way, did anyone notice this was like comedy
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: gold They should do a bit about this. I don't
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: watch Saturday Night Live anymore. It hadn't been funny in years.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: But they used to do shows like that and be
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: a great comedy bit. Because the rules analyst Jeene Sterotor,
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: if you were paying attention, So Jeene Sterotor comes on
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: there and he changed his mind faster than a politician
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: in an election year. He was like a member of
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: Congress trying to get reelection, Jeane Sterotor. So initially the
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: call was forward pass on the field, right, So Jean
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: Sterrator said, wow, that was the right call. Forward passed
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: on the field. They got it right. No wait, no, no,
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: wait a minute, it was backwards. Yeah, Yeah, Jeane's Sterritor
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: flip flopped. He did the old flip flop right there.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: Amazing flexibility by the rules analysts there, Jeene Sterotor. And
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: if you haven't learned by now having watched these rules
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: analysts there, they hate calling out their buddies. Whatever the
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: call is, they agree with the officials. They do not
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: want to go against the officials. It's part of the
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: orthodoxy of the Zebra culture. And so, just for the record,
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: by the way, Sean Payton, momentum did not infect the
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: Broncos in this game. That's not They didn't lose the
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: game because they lost momentum. They lost the game because
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: you didn't kick the field goal. Oh my god, the arrogance,
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: the arrogance of Sean Payton. Now, meanwhile, turning the page
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: to the Patriots side of things, a lot of glowing
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: words being said about Drake May and the Patriots as
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: they are in the Super Bowl to take on the
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: Seahawks Super Bowl sixty from Northern California. So the question is,
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: how did you grade Drake May's play as the Patriots
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: have now gone on a Super Bowl run. They've gone
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: on the Super Bowl run. The Patriots are there one
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: win away from getting another Lombardi Trophy. So how did
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: you grade Drake May in this postseason run up until
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: this point for the new and the Patriots. So May
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: has been He's not been the pace car Like there's
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: this idea he's the quarterback, so he's the engine. It's
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: really not. It's reinly not the engine for the Patriots.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: Despite the Patriots success. If you look at the Malor scorecard,
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: you've got not an A, not a B. I wouldn't
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: even give Drake May a cee. I wrote down on
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: my scorecard for Drake May and this playoff run for
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: the Patriots, I wrote down A you for unremarkable capital
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: U unremarkable for Drake May. It's working, which is great.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: Although they got to get more out of this guy.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: They got to get more out of this guy now
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: seas defense fortunately is overrated. As we saw, the Rams
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: lit him up, and so Drake May will be. There
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: will be opportunities as assuming he doesn't suffer from tight
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: Tuker syndrome in the Super Bowl, to make some plays there.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: He has not been the man to lead the way
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: for the New Land Patriots. Despite what you might have
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: heard or read online it is not the case, so
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: I wrote again, unremarkable as the grade for Drake May.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: The Patriots offense stuck in wet cement and just kind
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: of stuck there against Denver for much of the day. Said, well,
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: the blizzard conditions, that's why it's the weather. Blame it
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: on the weather, and the snow excuse is a popular excuse.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: There's one problem with the snow excuse is that the
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: weather was fine in the first half of the game,
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: and Drake May was not fine. In the first half.
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: May had a passer rating below sixty and the Patriots
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: offense only had four first downs in the first half.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: That was a complete lockdown by the Denver Broncos defensively
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: in the first half of that game. Patriots had seventy
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: two yards of offense in the first thirty minutes of
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: that game with Drake May. Now, May's signature play was
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: the quarterback keeper. I would argue the twenty eight yard
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: scamper another way to say the word scramble scamper. But
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: that turn that turned out to be the winning field goal.
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: That's set up what was the winning field goal on
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: that However, you are judged by your full body of work. Here,
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: and if you look at the overall picture in the playoffs,
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: this continues a trend. Drake May has been a stumblebum
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: for the Patriots and it hasn't mattered. It has not mattered.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: Here those negative plays, which are normally the telltale sign
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: for quarterbacks. You combine interceptions in completions, sacks and fumbles,
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: those are bad plays. Drake May is averaging nineteen bad
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: plays per game in this playoff run for the Patriots.
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: Nineteen negative plays per game for Drake May, and they
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: are one win away from winning the Super Bowl thanks
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: to playing what we call the Paris Baguette schedule. A
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: lot of croissants, a lot of croissants. And while Drake
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: May does not go against the opposition quarterback, it does
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: help when the opposing quarterback is Justin Herbert or c. J.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: Stroud or Jared Stidham, and they stink right, the Drake
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: May Patriots have scored only fifty four points in this
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: playoff run. That doesn't sound like a lot, right, that
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: doesn't sound like that much. Well, didn't you know? Fun
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: fact here? How bad is that? How bad is that
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: for the Patriots? Maler fun fact? We are told that
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: is the fewest points a team has scored playing three
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: postseason games to make the Super Bowl since Jimmy Carter
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: was the president. Back in the nineteen seventies, the La
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: Rams made it in I think it was nineteen seventy nine,
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: and that's it, so my god. It does help also
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: that the opposing quarterbacks are averaging twenty over twenty two
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: negative plays, so they've been even worse than Drake May.
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: The collective of CJ. Stroud who had thirty negative plays
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: in that game for the Texan thirty thirty negative players,
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: Jared Stidham, and of course Herbert. So that's where we
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: are right now.
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: Now.
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: Final point to the postgame commentary from Patriots defensive tecker
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: tackle Milton Williams. Good old uncle Milt, Milton Williams who
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: said the thing that we knew was going to be
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: said postgame Milton Williams, defensive tackle for the New Emland
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: Patriots postgame team has wanted advance to the Super Bowl.
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: He said, everybody doubted us. That's what he said. Everybody
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: doubted us. Does that work for you? Does that work
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: for you? So it is predictable and silly. At the
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: same time, the Patriots did not overcome the odds. In fact,
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: they failed to live up to the standard of the odds.
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: They were given the New Eland Patriots a police escort
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: to the promised land of Super Bowl sixty. And there's
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: no debate over that. This is a generational mister Softy
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: run for the New England Patriots. Congratulations. I'm jealous. I
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: am absolutely jealous. It's like it's not really a postseason run.
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: It's like a massage at the Foxborough day Spa, the
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: manny and the petty, the bubble bath. Now, what is
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: my evidence if you look at the receipts and looking
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: there the easiest schedule in the league this year and
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: the easiest schedule in his generation, plus strength of schedule
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: of the opponent that was during the regular season. This
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: was not a football obstacle. Course, this was a study
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: diet of creampuffs and doughnuts and then threw some mcclair's
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: in there. The whole thing. You played a Charger team
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: held together by duck tape and a prayer and Justin Turbert,
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: justin Herbert there who went out there and the moment
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: was too big. He's a coward. He played cowardly football
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: for the Chargers.
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: C J.
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: Stroud hanging out handing out interception. You get an interception,
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: you get an interception like that famous TV thing back
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: in the day with Oprah. And then the AFC Championship
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: game where Sean Payton decides that his quarterback is good
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: rather than kick a field goal and go up by
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: two scores. And then in the second half the blizzard
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: kicked in. So that's a couple of gifts from the
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: heavens for the Patriots that went their way. New England
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: is averaging eighteen points per game. The last time a
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: team was this bad was the Rams nineteen seventy nine.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: La Rams. It's almost fifty years ago. Almost fifty years ago,
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: so enjoy the flight out to the Bay Area there.
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: And I don't want to hear about the doubters. Though
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: you were the biggest favorite, you didn't cover the spread
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: against a backup quarterback in a blizzard, and you couldn't
• 17:24

• 18:08
  Speaker 1: get back to the championship Sunday in the NFL. The
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: Super Bowl is now set the Seahawks and the Patriots
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: in Super Bowl sixty. But we head to Western Pa.
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: Some news over the weekend that got our attention. The
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: Yinsurs have found their man. Did you see this? Yeah,
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: maybe you missed it, Perhaps you did not hear the news.
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: But over the weekend, the Steelers announced they have agreed
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: to terms on a coaching contract with Mike McCarthy. Mike
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: McCarthy is going to be the new coach. He replaces
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin as the coach in Pittsburgh. The former Packer
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: and cowboy head coach gets the coveted gig that has
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: lifetime tenured professor employment, and he's got it. Now. The
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: reaction has been overwhelmingly negative, like what the hell have
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: you done, you country bumpkins in Pittsburgh. Well, Art Rooney,
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: the second was having none of that. Art Rooney talking
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: about winning the genetic lottery. Now he runs the Pittsburgh Steelers.
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: So Art Runey, the second Steelers president, said, of the
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy hire, he said, quote the message to our
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: fans is we're very excited, folls.
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: Quote.
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: So that's a good jumping off point. Let us discuss
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: the question Art Rooney, the guy running the Steelers. Art
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: Rooney says, the message after the coaching hires, we're very excited.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: What is your word? What is your word for the
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: Steelers deciding to go with Mike McCarthy as the coach
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: there in Pittsburgh. So I've got tupperware, Star Wars, and
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: Rattlesnake King, and we will combine all of these things
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: together and we are going to make a spicy meatball.
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: This is what we're going to make a nice spicy meatball.
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: All right. So, first of all, the word for Mike McCarty, Dorothy.
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: The word for Mike McCarthy being hired as the Steelers
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: coach is sedative. Why why is that the word? The
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: word is because you're putting people to sleep, You're putting
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: your fan base to sleep. You make a coaching now,
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: you don't always, it doesn't necessarily always matter whether you
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: win the coaching higher or not. This is the least
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: imaginative coaching higher. When I heard the rumors that McCarthy
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: was the favorite for the Steelers job, I thought, well,
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: that was planted by his agent. Why would Mike McCarthy
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: be the favorite for the Steelers job. It makes no sense.
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: It makes no sense. You got rid of Tomlin, you
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: got a chance to bring in a fresh breath of air.
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: And Pittsburgh decides that, you know what we want, comfort food.
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: That's what we want. We want comfort food. And so
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: we're going to go to the back of the fridge.
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: They started digging around. They were futting around the Steelers
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: in the back of the fridge. They grabbed the tupperware
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: with the blue top, not the white top, the blue top.
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: They grabbed the tupperware, the blue top, and then they
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: open it up and it was it was meat loaf.
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: And then they said, well, well reheat the meat loaf.
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: And that's what they did, Well, reheat the meat loaf,
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: and they hired this guy. Same taste, little dryer, The
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: edges are a little dryer on the meat loaf. And
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: you just didn't aim high. You didn't aim high. You
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: aimed for familiar is what you aim for, and that
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: is fear. The word I will use is buzzkill. This
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: is a buzzkill is another word I always because this
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: is listen. This is Mike Tomlin was there forever right,
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: almost twenty years Mike Tomlins coaching, the steels and all
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: that stuff. You're essentially getting Mike Tomlin without the juice.
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: Where's the juice? No juice. You're getting cliches, not as
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: many quotable lines, a lot of standard coach speak from
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy. And it's the store brand version, is what
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: it is. You're getting the store brand version, generic brand.
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: The box is ripped a little bit. That's your new coach.
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: And this is the Steelers essentially telling their customers, their
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: fan base that we don't want to be great, we
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: want to be fine. We want to be fine. And
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: every other time the Steelers have hired coaches for the
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: past sixty years, they've always gone with the new, up
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: and coming coach, the next big thing. Not this time.
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: This different than all other coaching hires, not that there
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: have been many for the Pittsburgh Steelers. And it's like,
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: you didn't really replace Tomlin. You photo copied Tomlin. And
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: I know they don't like look exactly alike, but the
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: way that they approach things good regular season teams, teams
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: that often underachieve in the playoffs. That's the pedigree of
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: a Mike Tomlin coach team. And as much as I
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: love Mike Tomlin, Mike Tomlin's teams often were the same way.
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: They overachieve in the regular season, and then when the
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: playoffs came around, they would be exposed. And that was that.
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: And so Pittsburgh used to be steel Boots, lunch, Paale,
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: the whole thing, bloody knuckles, and now this just reeks
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: of crocs and sweatpants and desperation and the whole thing.
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: And McCarthy is leftover, as we know that, Mike McCarthy.
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: And it's like it's okay. The Steelers are not going
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: to likely fall off the map with Mike McCarthy, and
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: he just doesn't excite the electorate. The electorate at the
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: convention does not get excited about this. And this is
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: not some kind of reboot to reinvent the Steeler franchise
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: going forward. It's a screensaver, is what it is. Like, Well,
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: we're going to change the screensaver instead of Mike Tomlins photo,
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: We're gonna put Mike McCarthy up there now. Secondly, keeping
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: the theme of the hour, we'll get back to the
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: championship games now the super Bowl on tap Seattle and
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: New England. With the question, what is the lesson to
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: voisterous Steeler fans who are up in arms, up in
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: arms over Mike McCarthy replacing Mike Tomlin in Pittsburgh, And
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: we have something. I took a lot of crap from Spaccoli,
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: who's a Steeler apologies because he hated Tomlin. He loathed
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin. And I laugh at guys like Spaccoli, and
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: I laugh at the other Steeler fans that were so
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: ready to run Mike Tomlin out of town. This is
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: a teachable moment. Be careful what you asked for, Be
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: careful what you wish for. Steeler fan, congratulate you chased
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: Tomlin out. Congratulations you chase chased him out of Dodge
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: to hire Mike Tomlin. I say, Mike Tomlin light. He's
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: obviously a lot heavier than Mike Tomlin and Mike McCarthy.
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: So how's that taste? How's that taste? Well, you're got
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: the same combo meal, except it's been shrinked, the shrink flation,
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: if you will. So you got the same combo miller
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: as Truer fries in there, and it's the sequel that
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: nobody asked for, the same plot, fewer zingers, none of
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: the iconic soundbites that Mike Tomlin provided us. And the
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: big takeaway from this is that Mike McCarthy has to
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: be this era of the NFL's greatest interviewer in modern
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: NFL history for a guy that hasn't done all that
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: much considering the talent that he was given as a coach.
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: When you look at Mike Tomlin, he sounds like a
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: meathead when we hear him talk to the media, does
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: not sound like the most intelligent man in the world.
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: And Yet he gets into those meeting rooms with executives
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: and owners and he is all of a sudden, mister Simpotoco.
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: He's mister Simpotoco when he talks to ownership. He must
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: be a big Star Wars guy. Must be a big
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: Star Wars guy using Jedi mind tricks to convince these
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: NFL owners to give him the job. McCarthy hypnotized Green
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: Bay got the job, lasted a long time. Jerry Jones
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: in Dallas gave McCarthy the gig, and now the Rooney
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: family said, here, come on down, the price is right.
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: We want you to coach a team. Those are three
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: iconic brands with national fan bases in the NFL. What
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: exactly is the sales pitch? I would love to know
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: what the sales pitch is. It's like, don't ask regular
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: season wins, then Boom goes to Dynamite, Abracadabra playoffs, crash landing.
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: So the Steelers it's like discarding your iPhone seventeen Pro
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: Max and so I'm going to take an iPhone four S. Well,
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: you know you had a better phone than that, but
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: I want the iPhone four S. It's a classic, but
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: you don't need that you have the newest iPhone, but
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: I want the old one. I want the old Okay,
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: we'll bring in the old one. This hire is a
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: referendum also on how much this younger group of coaches
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: must blow the so called young up and coming generation
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: of coaches that they must have no spark. No, you
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: supposed to be terrible at interviewing. You think that one
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: of those guys would have stood out where the Rooney
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: family would have hired him. And the Steelers they're like, no,
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: we want Dolesville. We're gonna sign up for Dolesville. Uh.
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: And the Steelers know that they hired a coach who's
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: not popular and this is not something where they won
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: the news conference. What is my evidence here, Well, my
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: evidence is they buried the lead. Don't bury the lead,
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: ma man. They buried the lead. They announced it on
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: a Saturday before Championship Sunday in the NFL. That is
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: the walk of shame. That is the walk of shame
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: for the Pittsburgh Steelers. They hoped, they hoped that nobody
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: would notice. We're gonna send this out. Well, you're busy
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: doing your stuff. You're out shopping for that extra thing
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: of water. Because of the blizzard. Whatever you're doing, We're
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: we're gonna just drop this year. Well you're not paying
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: attention and yp beat kaye. They hired a local guy,
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: that's the selling point. You hired a guy who's a
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: pittsburgher way to go, congratulations. He can wipe his ass
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: with a terrible towel. That's wonderful. And of course the
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: argument is you could have hired a person I don't
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: care from mat a gas car. It doesn't matter where
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: the coach is if they win. This is not some
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: kind of geographical contest. We're not working with geography here.
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: It's about wins and losses, wins and blankety blank losses
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: and the Steelers. This just screams of safe, a little
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: scared to try the unknown, not impressed with the unknown,
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: and stale, stale, melt toast, melt toast. The McCarthy higher
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: for him to get a third opportunity with the Glamour franchise.
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: Normally you get one or two chances with the Glamor franchise,
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: then you go to Jacksonville or the Browns or somewhere
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: like that. All right, now, final thought, So the Mike
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: McCarthy Steelers, how weird is that the Mike McCarthy Steelers,
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: that this is the new era here for Mike McCarthy.
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: They need a quarterback. Aaron Rodgers is free to roam
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: around the NFL and he's not locked in as the
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: quarterback there in Pittsburgh. So they don't really have anybody.
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: It's an empty barstool. So let's activate the Malard think tank.
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: The question who plays quarterback for the Mike McCarthy twenty
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: twenty six Pittsburgh Steelers. Now, if you base this on
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: public perception, it is the band is reunited again, that
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy is going to bring back his bff Aaron Rogers.
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: Although we had heard there was some tension in the
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: Green Bay days with Aaron Rodgers and Mike McCarthy, but
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: that's the early rumor. You bring back the old war
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: horse who showed that he couldn't play at a high
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: level in the playoffs, so of course you bring him back.
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: You slap some duct tape on and some get some
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: like Elmer's glue on that and make sure that the
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: Achilles is working, and you hope the engine turns over
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: and the cold weather and just go with It's go
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: with Aaron Rodgers. That's it. That's not a plan. That's
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: like triple A roadside assistance. It's like, can I get
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: a tow truck? Yes, we'll get your tow truck right there?
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: Why not?
• 30:03
  Speaker 4: What the hell?
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: And then you've also got the transfer portal crowd. He said, well,
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: what about Kyler Murray? What about? What about? What about?
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: What about? What about? What about? What about?
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: Is them?
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: What about Kyler Murray? What about a tongue of by
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: law quarterbacks that absolutely turn into popsicles in cold weather?
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: That makes sense for an outdoor cold weather team to
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: bring in Kyler Murray. Now, if I was starting a
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: video game team, I would bring in Kyler Murray because, man,
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: is he a great gamer? And Tua, he's so honest,
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: he can't tell a lie. He also can't complete passes
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: in big spots, which is a problem. So they've got
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: those guys have more baggage than the Pittsburgh International Airport
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: around the holidays. There's just nothing going on now. So
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: you're not buying new, You're not buying new. If you're
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin, you're buying refurbished. If you're bringing those guys,
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: good luck on that. And so Meanwhile, here's the move
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: that not many are mentioning, which you've got to believe
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: is com to plate it here. A few people want
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: to say it out loud. If you're Jerry Jones, I
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: know we're talking about the Steelers, But if you're Jerry Jones,
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: don't you try to tempt Mike McCarthy Like serving him
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: a deep dish Chicago pizza is very tempting. You say, hey, Mike,
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: you don't have a quarterback that's any good. We got
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: a guy we'd like to unload. He's a stiff, but
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: you could sell him to your fans. Dak Prescott, who
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: says no, right, Jerry Jones should take advantage of this
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: opportunity and do some cosplay as the Rattlesnake King and
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: try to ship Dak Prescott off to Pittsburgh. Yeah, there
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: you go. I learned about the rattlesnake King years ago.
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: The rattlesnake King is the term snake oil. There was
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: a guy that would go around and say that your
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: joints could heal because of the snake oil, and was
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: the group of traveling salespeople. But the one inarticular that
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: was involved was the rattlesnake king, and he sold the
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: snake oil traveling from town to town to town. So
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: if I'm Jerry Jones, I do that. You're not winning
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: anything with Dak Prescott. Every man, woman and child knows that.
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: So get rid of his ass and then you can
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: go out and get somebody else. And you're really not
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: gonna lose that much because Dak Prescott has a he
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: has a pre existing condition where he poops the bed
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: in big spots and the cowboys. With Dak Prescott, the
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: cowboys are like a treadmill, a lot of noise, a
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: little bit of sweat, and you're still in the same
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: damn spot with Dak Prescott.
• 32:34
