- 0:42Speaker 1: the universe.
- 0:42Speaker 2: Now you know the game ball ceremony. You're standing in
- 0:44Speaker 2: the locker room.
- 0:45Speaker 1: You're surrounded by half dressed people and underwear and towels,
- 0:49Speaker 1: and you get to bestow a game ball for a
- 0:50Speaker 1: job well done.
- 0:52Speaker 2: And that's what this today, that's this.
- 0:59Speaker 1: Call, the call right now coming this locker kick.
- 1:04Speaker 2: To the balls today? Is this today's kick to the balls?
- 1:09Speaker 3: That was Todd Richards, NBC Olympics broadcaster as in former
- 1:14Speaker 3: snowboarder on a hot mic during a break talking about
- 1:17Speaker 3: how boring the Big Air was. I think the uh
- 1:21Speaker 3: Big Air final boring, so they I thought that was funny.
- 1:24Speaker 2: He was pretty good.
- 1:26Speaker 3: He thought the qualifiers were better, and so I mean,
- 1:28Speaker 3: maybe maybe I do get this. You know, he's a
- 1:30Speaker 3: former snowboarder, and we saw over the weekend Sean White
- 1:33Speaker 3: in his first Olympics not competing. I do get a
- 1:36Speaker 3: sense of a little bit of like, you know, these
- 1:38Speaker 3: guys just like I'm not. Since I'm not competing, it's like, man,
- 1:41Speaker 3: these guys can't do it like we used to do it.
- 1:43Speaker 4: Saw Sean White on TV. He was pretty good last
- 1:45Speaker 4: night on TV.
- 1:46Speaker 3: He's doing a great job, but he's he admitted he's
- 1:48Speaker 3: having a tough time not competing and and moving to
- 1:51Speaker 3: that next day, he didn't.
- 1:51Speaker 4: Seem like he was having nearly as much fun in
- 1:53Speaker 4: the Starbucks as he as he did on the ski
- 1:56Speaker 4: hill when they talked to him during the NFL pregame
- 1:59Speaker 4: show yesterday. During this He's like, yeah, I just this
- 2:02Speaker 4: isn't great.
- 2:03Speaker 3: Now.
- 2:03Speaker 4: I was able to watch a decent mount of the
- 2:04Speaker 4: Big Air because the uh, the kick to the balls
- 2:07Speaker 4: early for me was the fact that we're still waking
- 2:09Speaker 4: up at four o'clock weekend, however, but worked out well
- 2:12Speaker 4: for the Olympics to play this.
- 2:14Speaker 2: It is nice for that, right. That's that.
- 2:16Speaker 1: I have a buddy who when in his when he
- 2:19Speaker 1: had his first of two children, he was up for
- 2:22Speaker 1: the overnight feedings and stuff, and sure he's flipping through
- 2:24Speaker 1: the channels and the only thing on was like Premier
- 2:27Speaker 1: League soccer and European soccer. And he'd never been a
- 2:30Speaker 1: soccer guy, but he was a hockey guy and he
- 2:32Speaker 1: had to watch it because there was nothing else. As
- 2:34Speaker 1: he's sitting with a screaming, colicky baby. Yeah, and he said,
- 2:37Speaker 1: you know, the way you attack the goal in soccer
- 2:39Speaker 1: is very similar to hockey. I see parallels here. And
- 2:41Speaker 1: he got sucked in and now he's a soccer Yes,
- 2:45Speaker 1: wide awake at three in the morning watching European soccer.
- 2:48Speaker 2: Oh well, my child was born.
- 2:49Speaker 3: It was right during the Paris Olympics, which worked out
- 2:51Speaker 3: well because there was action in the middle of the night.
- 2:53Speaker 2: And my brother in law they had.
- 2:55Speaker 3: They had a son about two weeks ago, just in
- 2:57Speaker 3: time from a long winter Olympics. So it's kind of
- 2:59Speaker 3: you thread at the needle with that one there's no
- 3:01Speaker 3: question about it, and uh you do. It is a
- 3:03Speaker 3: pretty interesting uh you know, uh, it is a pretty
- 3:08Speaker 3: interesting environment and world in the middle of the night
- 3:10Speaker 3: when you're trying to figure out what to watch. And now,
- 3:12Speaker 3: of course this is that we stream now, so you
- 3:14Speaker 3: can watch anything at any time. It's not the same
- 3:16Speaker 3: as like having to watch the Time Life uh musical
- 3:19Speaker 3: cd ad from Michael Bolton every night waking grass up.
- 3:22Speaker 4: You know, Jefferson Starship then you realized then they went
- 3:25Speaker 4: to Jefferson Airplane. Then it was just starship or was
- 3:28Speaker 4: it the other way around? Sorry, I missed a mixed up.
- 3:30Speaker 2: That fifty Jefferson Starship.
- 3:32Speaker 4: That starship, that starship, because that was a you know,
- 3:35Speaker 4: three am, get back from the bar and where's the remote?
- 3:37Speaker 2: Well, it's nowhere. We don't know where it is. We're
- 3:40Speaker 2: locked in.
- 3:41Speaker 4: We're locked in where we're at, Drew, I don't know
- 3:43Speaker 4: that there's any bigger kick to the balls if we
- 3:46Speaker 4: want to start out here.
- 3:47Speaker 1: Listen, then one man Geno Smith, Oh, oh my god, Genos.
- 3:56Speaker 4: Genos Smith has to fail the absolute worst this morning
- 4:01Speaker 4: because he was so bad, apparently so bad that not
- 4:05Speaker 4: only did your team immediately trade you and then go
- 4:08Speaker 4: win the Super Bowl.
- 4:09Speaker 1: The team that traded for you signed you was good
- 4:13Speaker 1: enough to get the number one overall pick. I mean
- 4:16Speaker 1: that is that's a hell of a year for Gino Smith.
- 4:19Speaker 1: When he said I didn't write back to the to
- 4:22Speaker 1: the haters wrote him off and he didn't write back.
- 4:24Speaker 1: I don't know if he still got a pen and
- 4:25Speaker 1: paper because he.
- 4:26Speaker 2: Might want to write.
- 4:27Speaker 4: In a tough twenty five season and a tough Super
- 4:30Speaker 4: Bowl to watch for Gino Smith.
- 4:32Speaker 1: In terms of the fomo and stuff, Yeah, Vikings fans
- 4:35Speaker 1: get a kick to the juavos today.
- 4:37Speaker 2: Not that they need it, but but that's that's a
- 4:40Speaker 2: that's a game ball for me, you know, really.
- 4:42Speaker 3: Well positive suppose that's John had that one too or
- 4:45Speaker 3: I'm sorry, yeah right here, but it is a kick
- 4:47Speaker 3: to the balls for them.
- 4:48Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, game ball two. And Billy mentioned before
- 4:52Speaker 2: Devin Witherspoon.
- 4:53Speaker 5: Oh uh bmf OTF is what is the phrase Ron
- 5:02Speaker 5: Washington the baseball guy, the baddest on the field.
- 5:06Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that was him, and.
- 5:08Speaker 4: Then he became the best on the mic after when
- 5:11Speaker 4: he was talking to Kaylee Hartong for like three minutes
- 5:13Speaker 4: and just ripped an absolute promo out after the game.
- 5:15Speaker 2: He was an absolute set.
- 5:17Speaker 1: Now, Okay, Kenth Walker's the MVP, first running back MVP
- 5:21Speaker 1: since Terrell Davis in the Super Bowl.
- 5:22Speaker 2: We want to forget Damn twenty. Didn't want to think
- 5:25Speaker 2: about that one. But yes, that's hard. I believe that
- 5:27Speaker 2: no running backs won.
- 5:28Speaker 1: It's and they weren't going to give it to a kicker.
- 5:30Speaker 1: But five field goals is no joke. No Super Bowl
- 5:32Speaker 1: record definitely would have been in the conversation. And didn't
- 5:35Speaker 1: that guy set the record for points now in the
- 5:38Speaker 1: totality of the season, including playoffs, like I think the
- 5:41Speaker 1: highest scoring single season.
- 5:42Speaker 2: I think he beat or.
- 5:43Speaker 4: Something that sounds that sounds right, I do remember. I
- 5:46Speaker 4: think it was in the mix.
- 5:47Speaker 1: But I think if you count the playoffs and stuff,
- 5:48Speaker 1: he scored more points than La Damian Tomlinson did it.
- 5:52Speaker 2: Drew.
- 5:52Speaker 4: It's tough when you look at the Seattle defense because
- 5:54Speaker 4: I thought the same thing, like, not to diminish what
- 5:56Speaker 4: Kenneth Walker was, because he was definitely the only offense
- 5:59Speaker 4: in the higher game, but you did think like they
- 6:03Speaker 4: got to give it to somebody on the Seattle defense, right,
- 6:05Speaker 4: Like it's got to be somebody on the Seattle defense.
- 6:07Speaker 4: But similar to last year in New Orleans when Philadelphia
- 6:12Speaker 4: just beat the piss out of Kansas City, Like you
- 6:15Speaker 4: just kept looking like, do we give it to Milton
- 6:18Speaker 4: Williams because he had two sacks or Josh Sweat, I mean,
- 6:21Speaker 4: Cooper Degen had a pick six. But it feels like
- 6:23Speaker 4: the most forgotten touchdown in the entire Super Bowl. It
- 6:26Speaker 4: was such a drumming that you could have given it
- 6:29Speaker 4: to two or three defensive players. But Devin Witherspoon. Those
- 6:32Speaker 4: blitzes that he was coming off the edge with were
- 6:36Speaker 4: next level. And for a group that their cornerback room
- 6:40Speaker 4: is littered with top Day one, Day two picks, Kobe
- 6:45Speaker 4: Bryant Cincinnati, one of Luke Fickles.
- 6:47Speaker 2: Guys.
- 6:48Speaker 4: They've they've brought a bunch of those guys together really good,
- 6:51Speaker 4: and now they're all kind of hitting that ascent right there.
- 6:53Speaker 4: Three four years in the league, all at the same time.
- 6:55Speaker 1: Game balls and kicks eight seven seven seven three random
- 6:59Speaker 1: thought off topics slightly let me hear it.
- 7:02Speaker 2: Game ball So the college football playoff? Oh yeah, good one.
- 7:09Speaker 3: Sorry, there's a lot called that was a gamer kick.
- 7:12Speaker 3: I'm sorry that was a game. Sorry there, Yeah.
- 7:17Speaker 1: Indiana Miami game was what a championship game you like
- 7:21Speaker 1: to see last night?
- 7:23Speaker 4: Yeah, well in the game Miami and uh Indiana had
- 7:27Speaker 4: you thought it was gonna be so much more lopsided
- 7:29Speaker 4: like this, and then all of a sudden, Miami was
- 7:31Speaker 4: able to do exactly what they needed get a couple
- 7:34Speaker 4: of drives together.
- 7:35Speaker 2: May was just so bad. Like it's just and it's
- 7:38Speaker 2: it's tough to watch.
- 7:39Speaker 4: When you have such a good season and it will
- 7:42Speaker 4: get somewhat forgotten.
- 7:44Speaker 2: But he this is gonna be a tough top takee.
- 7:46Speaker 1: This is where and he's in the unique spot of
- 7:49Speaker 1: entering his third season. Like you talk about sophomore slumps.
- 7:52Speaker 1: Dude went to the you know, went to the Super
- 7:54Speaker 1: bowls pretty good slump.
- 7:55Speaker 2: Yeah that's.
- 7:58Speaker 1: This, And you went to super Bowl and people are
- 8:01Speaker 1: questioning your acumen and your wherewithal and whether you're the
- 8:04Speaker 1: dude or not. After taking your team to the super Bowl,
- 8:06Speaker 1: you got to prove yourself next year that it wasn't
- 8:09Speaker 1: a fluke and that you're you know, the bonkers.
- 8:11Speaker 2: It's a really real yeah yeah yeah, like one.
- 8:15Speaker 1: Vote away from the MVP and now people are like,
- 8:17Speaker 1: I wonder if this guy sucks or not.
- 8:18Speaker 2: Little Carson Wentz vibe to it.
- 8:19Speaker 3: I mean he had a year like that and he
- 8:21Speaker 3: would you know, got hurt, but might have won MVP,
- 8:23Speaker 3: and then it would seem like after that he was
- 8:25Speaker 3: never the same. I'm not saying, who knows what type
- 8:27Speaker 3: of career Drake May is gonna have. It could be
- 8:29Speaker 3: a great one. It could be a pedestrian moment. We
- 8:31Speaker 3: don't really know, Yeah, but it might be.
- 8:34Speaker 2: But it could be a similar situation like that tough.
- 8:36Speaker 4: Thing about that is Arman like once his team ended
- 8:39Speaker 4: up winning three games without him to win the Super Bowl, Like, yeah,
- 8:42Speaker 4: I don't know that New England was scoring you know,
- 8:45Speaker 4: three points in any of these playoff games without May,
- 8:48Speaker 4: especially like the way he ran the ball in Denver,
- 8:50Speaker 4: the way he ran the ball against uh Los Angeles.
- 8:53Speaker 4: He played three really really good defenses. They just couldn't
- 8:56Speaker 4: be able to get anything going. And in those games
- 8:59Speaker 4: they got with they were trying to do last night
- 9:02Speaker 4: and just didn't get They were so close. Yeah, they
- 9:04Speaker 4: needed one of those batted balls to get intercepted.
- 9:08Speaker 1: Splain was seconds away. And it's why this game ball
- 9:11Speaker 1: goes to Christian Gonzales. He was I mean, if it
- 9:16Speaker 1: wasn't for Gonzales, that game is thirty to nothing. Yeah
- 9:20Speaker 1: yet halftime and instead I mean Collins.
- 9:23Speaker 4: Swart's like and almost Interceptsance what I'm like, he's got
- 9:26Speaker 4: two hands on the ball that's in the end zone
- 9:28Speaker 4: when they're trying to get it to Smith and Jigba.
- 9:31Speaker 1: If he squeezes that, it's a totally different game. You
- 9:34Speaker 1: would think maybe maybe New England still doesn't get another
- 9:37Speaker 1: first name. Yeah, but he was the only reason why
- 9:40Speaker 1: that game was close for two and a half quarters
- 9:42Speaker 1: and gave me a little bit of life. Dround that
- 9:44Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty to one Super Bowl MVP ticket.
- 9:46Speaker 1: If Drake May's got to do some digging out kick
- 9:49Speaker 1: to the balls to Will Campbell.
- 9:51Speaker 6: Oh yeah, you expect a little more out of a
- 9:57Speaker 6: fourth overall pick hitting the rookie wall, biggest stage that
- 10:00Speaker 6: there is, give.
- 10:01Speaker 2: Up fourteen pressures?
- 10:03Speaker 1: I mean not since again this is old guy reference
- 10:07Speaker 1: to bility before your time, even before Armand's time as
- 10:09Speaker 1: a fan, probably, but Tony Manderich comes to mind as
- 10:12Speaker 1: a guy who just got rag dolled.
- 10:17Speaker 2: How do you bounce back from that game? Well, you
- 10:19Speaker 2: probably play guard.
- 10:20Speaker 4: Yeah, you go to guard like it, and it seemed
- 10:22Speaker 4: like that was where they thought he might go in
- 10:24Speaker 4: the beginning of the year. But when you draft somebody
- 10:26Speaker 4: fourth overall to play guard, that's gonna be a tough
- 10:29Speaker 4: that's gonna be a tough pill to swallow.
- 10:30Speaker 1: As brilliant as Tony was in constructing this roster, oh boy,
- 10:35Speaker 1: that's when you're looking at going.
- 10:36Speaker 3: But Tony became a productive guard for the Colt. So
- 10:39Speaker 3: sometimes that's the best you can get. Sometimes that's just
- 10:41Speaker 3: the best you can make out of that meat. Like
- 10:43Speaker 3: this meat love didn't turn out right, but I'm just
- 10:45Speaker 3: gonna eat it, you know.
- 10:46Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, I also will say that I'm not
- 10:48Speaker 4: throwing Will Campbell out with the rest of the bathwater
- 10:51Speaker 4: because I also watched most of the rams front get
- 10:54Speaker 4: kind of run through a decent amount, and he faced
- 10:57Speaker 4: a lot of the best pass rushers. But you know,
- 11:00Speaker 4: when you're unable to trust your backside, that's gonna be tough.
- 11:06Speaker 4: But like we mentioned, the Witherspoon blitzes, every one of
- 11:09Speaker 4: those comes the exact same way, and Collinsworth was phenomenal
- 11:13Speaker 4: at calling it out last night. He's like they've brought
- 11:15Speaker 4: the same blitz four times, they've got home four times
- 11:20Speaker 4: because they've never they've never clearly had the pressure package
- 11:25Speaker 4: look to be able to get out of it. Somebody's
- 11:27Speaker 4: got to be able to identify that. And generally that's
- 11:29Speaker 4: the you know, runner up for MVP behind, which is
- 11:32Speaker 4: gonna be a difficult one. Gave all to Derek Hall.
- 11:37Speaker 4: I thought he was going to win the MVP. He's
- 11:40Speaker 4: got a tremendous story. Was born twenty one weeks At
- 11:45Speaker 4: twenty one weeks he was born, was pronounced dead at
- 11:49Speaker 4: one point in the ICU as a baby, and his
- 11:52Speaker 4: mom was kind of told, you know, I don't I
- 11:54Speaker 4: don't necessarily know what the likelihood is here. He was
- 11:56Speaker 4: a dude that I believe played at Auburn and was
- 11:59Speaker 4: a you know, second round pick. He was one of
- 12:01Speaker 4: those guys that you kind of fall in love with.
- 12:02Speaker 4: Drew in the draft a couple of years ago, crazy
- 12:06Speaker 4: speed and then had the story goes to Seattle and
- 12:09Speaker 4: not that he you know, didn't do a whole lot,
- 12:11Speaker 4: but I think he had like four sacks throughout the
- 12:14Speaker 4: year or whatever. Just incredible, incredible super Bowl for a
- 12:18Speaker 4: remarkable human story.
- 12:20Speaker 2: Tell the story absolutely. That is amazing.
- 12:22Speaker 3: I really didn't really know much about that, and then
- 12:24Speaker 3: you get into it a little bit on Wikipedia and
- 12:26Speaker 3: on reading some articles.
- 12:27Speaker 2: That's pretty amazing, you know. That's that's a.
- 12:30Speaker 3: Remarkable of the greatest seats of life, faith and faith
- 12:34Speaker 3: by his doubts.
- 12:35Speaker 2: Yeah, not giving up.
- 12:36Speaker 1: So eight seven seven seven nine ninety seven three. All right,
- 12:40Speaker 1: So we mentioned Jason Myers did in fact past Ladanian
- 12:44Speaker 1: Tomlinson most points by a player in a single year
- 12:46Speaker 1: regular season and playoffs combined. Wow, two hundred and six.
- 12:49Speaker 1: Tomlinson had one hundred and ninety eight in his MVP season.
- 12:52Speaker 2: And six My goodness's amazing.
- 12:55Speaker 1: Yeah, And they in an era when everybody goes for
- 12:58Speaker 1: it on fourth down. They took the points a lot
- 13:01Speaker 1: Seattle's Special Teams game ball because.
- 13:07Speaker 2: Dixon pinned him back. He was he was awesome.
- 13:10Speaker 1: Yeah, channeling is Danny Whalen good enough? Back seven punts?
- 13:14Speaker 4: And I thought Shaheed was gonna be the Special Teams
- 13:16Speaker 4: player of the game and he wasn't. Right, Like, I mean,
- 13:18Speaker 4: they kind of kept him under wraps did in New England.
- 13:21Speaker 2: But Dixon, like the one.
- 13:23Speaker 1: Punt that he has at the five drew It felt
- 13:25Speaker 1: like an absolute dagger and I think it's six to
- 13:27Speaker 1: nothing in the second quarter when your defense is like
- 13:30Speaker 1: that and you're pinning him back in bad field position,
- 13:32Speaker 1: giddy up like that was you know, talk about complimentary football.
- 13:37Speaker 4: That's as good of complimentary football as you can have.
- 13:39Speaker 2: What about this?
- 13:40Speaker 4: And I imagine we'll see a couple of these maybe
- 13:42Speaker 4: coming in from the nine to two zero game, all
- 13:44Speaker 4: of the Tritons.
- 13:47Speaker 2: Game ball.
- 13:48Speaker 1: The Notre Dame Academy in Green Bay. Now John Schneider
- 13:52Speaker 1: from Notre Dame Academy, a graduate there in the obvious
- 13:57Speaker 1: general manager of the Seattle Seahawks. However, also the home
- 14:00Speaker 1: and uh the high school of one Elliott Wolf.
- 14:02Speaker 2: So they couldn't lose last night.
- 14:04Speaker 4: They were like the they were like the mom with
- 14:07Speaker 4: the split jersey, so they had maybe.
- 14:10Speaker 2: One logo on one side, one on the other the
- 14:12Speaker 2: kelsey mom and that one yeah moment yeah.
- 14:14Speaker 4: Or maybe you just have like two T shirts on
- 14:16Speaker 4: and then after the game you just rip it off
- 14:18Speaker 4: the one and be able to celebrate that way. That's
- 14:21Speaker 4: a hell of an accomplishment and one feat that I
- 14:24Speaker 4: would like to see another high school in the country
- 14:27Speaker 4: be able to be able to accomplish good one.
- 14:30Speaker 2: All right, I'm gonna do a kick to the balls.
- 14:34Speaker 3: Lest we not forgets over the week and the couple
- 14:37Speaker 3: of important one important college basketball game for Wisconsin. I
- 14:42Speaker 3: want to say Marquette is important because they're not really
- 14:44Speaker 3: in a tournament mix, even though it was National Marquette.
- 14:47Speaker 3: But kick to the balls for the officiating at the
- 14:49Speaker 3: end of that. The Badger's Indiana game, I have to
- 14:52Speaker 3: mention it. It was absolutely.
- 14:56Speaker 2: Fall on black Well, like they were both atrocia.
- 15:00Speaker 3: Game ball to Greg guard, sorry to interrupt you, and
- 15:02Speaker 3: getting his boys ready to steal one of the road
- 15:04Speaker 3: in a tough environment when they were down all game,
- 15:06Speaker 3: probably should have won and had to endure two of
- 15:08Speaker 3: the toughest calls and and taken l because because these
- 15:11Speaker 3: officials don't have their job. In my opinion, that's two
- 15:14Speaker 3: terrible calls down the Dredge.
- 15:16Speaker 1: They were bad and and and Drew. I don't know
- 15:18Speaker 1: Greg said it the right way. He's like, I just
- 15:20Speaker 1: haven't seen it.
- 15:21Speaker 4: I don't know that I've ever seen an offensive foul
- 15:25Speaker 4: when the other team is trying to foul. I don't
- 15:28Speaker 4: know that I've ever seen that. And like they tried
- 15:32Speaker 4: to say it was because of the chicken went well, yeah,
- 15:34Speaker 4: because he's getting run into and run through.
- 15:37Speaker 2: It wasn't even close, and they were atrocious calls and
- 15:39Speaker 2: a game ball.
- 15:40Speaker 3: Well, I guess either it's, however you look at it,
- 15:42Speaker 3: a game or kick to the ball. To the India
- 15:44Speaker 3: NFNS who found my tweet and we're getting to my mentions,
- 15:47Speaker 3: But congrats to them for uh hey, you know they
- 15:51Speaker 3: always find a way to cape up and have the
- 15:52Speaker 3: pitchforks out when it comes in.
- 15:53Speaker 2: He had of basketball to defend the call.
- 15:55Speaker 4: See you were seeing somebody. You were seeing totally different
- 15:57Speaker 4: Indiana and supporters than I did. Like I saw a
- 16:00Speaker 4: big cat going back with somebody else that was mad
- 16:03Speaker 4: about a call earlier in the game. He's like, what
- 16:04Speaker 4: I said, the officials were amazing all game.
- 16:07Speaker 2: It was tremendous.
- 16:08Speaker 4: I saw dockets say in the middle of the game,
- 16:10Speaker 4: he's like, the hall of calls is coming and like
- 16:14Speaker 4: the Indiana is good. Indiana is about to get a
- 16:16Speaker 4: run of calls and all of a sudden he's like, hey,
- 16:18Speaker 4: I gotta go take a shower after that win.
- 16:20Speaker 2: But you'll take it whenever you need it.
- 16:21Speaker 1: They won't remember it in March that a lot of
- 16:23Speaker 1: people realize that those were pretty arm pretty cheeks. You
- 16:26Speaker 1: want to dunk on people on X game ball to
- 16:28Speaker 1: Ernest Jones, oh pooka nakua in the watching the Super
- 16:35Speaker 1: Bowl wherever he was, but the crying laughing emoji and
- 16:38Speaker 1: said Sam Donald like crying laughing Sam Donald. Ernest Jones
- 16:42Speaker 1: replied quote tweeted that and said, ain't you at home?
- 16:45Speaker 1: Goofy ass?
- 16:46Speaker 3: Damnos is one of the toughest burns. When you get
- 16:51Speaker 3: a goofy ass, that's one of the toughest burns.
- 16:53Speaker 2: It's a good Trey Crossey one. He's always going to
- 16:57Speaker 2: I love that.
- 16:57Speaker 3: That's good stuff. Yeah, that's a good point. I mean, now,
- 17:00Speaker 3: who likes to tea for sure?
- 17:02Speaker 2: Ye too.
- 17:03Speaker 4: Actually I think I saw him in the crop my
- 17:05Speaker 4: buddy taking a picture and either that or it was
- 17:07Speaker 4: his doppelganger hanging out. In section four thirteen mentioned the
- 17:10Speaker 4: high school ones that you might find one that's cooler.
- 17:12Speaker 4: What about a game ball to Centennial High School in Roswell, Georgia. Now,
- 17:20Speaker 4: not only the high school and place that started the
- 17:25Speaker 4: coaching lineage for Mike McDonald when he went and coached
- 17:29Speaker 4: high school football when he was at Georgia. It's also
- 17:33Speaker 4: where he went to school with the lady that handed
- 17:37Speaker 4: him the Lombardi Trophy. Last night in Maria Taylor old
- 17:41Speaker 4: high school classmates on the biggest stage. Mike McDonald and
- 17:45Speaker 4: Maria Taylor been knowing each other since two thousand and five.
- 17:48Speaker 4: That's awesome. As Taylor becomes the first black woman to
- 17:51Speaker 4: ever host the postgame ceremony and give out the trophy,
- 17:53Speaker 4: she hands it to a high school classmate.
- 17:56Speaker 2: That's pretty cool. I think it's super cool.
- 17:57Speaker 3: I think it's it's so funny to think about what
- 18:00Speaker 3: how well they knew each other in high school and now,
- 18:01Speaker 3: well they didn't know each other because everyone's like, wow,
- 18:04Speaker 3: old high school classmates, it must be a super cool moment.
- 18:06Speaker 3: Or maybe they never talked to him, weren't friends, like
- 18:08Speaker 3: you never know. I'm so curious to know about all
- 18:10Speaker 3: that stuff. Do you think he was friend zoned? I
- 18:12Speaker 3: don't know that he was Maybe friends owner, maybe just
- 18:15Speaker 3: not interested in that way, or maybe didn't pursue that way,
- 18:18Speaker 3: or maybe not in the same circles.
- 18:20Speaker 2: Was it a big high school, was.
- 18:21Speaker 3: It a small class Was it one of these huge
- 18:22Speaker 3: college campus ones. Those type of things, just those type
- 18:26Speaker 3: of things, just totally like.
- 18:29Speaker 2: You know, athletics. You know it's probably involved, right, Yeah,
- 18:33Speaker 2: I bet they were. They were at the same parties
- 18:35Speaker 2: she was.
- 18:35Speaker 4: She was a d one basketball player. I think I
- 18:37Speaker 4: think she kind of ran a decent amount of the place.
- 18:39Speaker 4: It was probably around, I would guess.
- 18:41Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 18:41Speaker 1: All right, Hey, we've reached halftime. Dolphin ready joined us.
- 18:45Speaker 1: He's back from Boots on the Beach, Pam rest and ready.
- 18:49Speaker 1: Scott Dolphin from the country station down the hall will
- 18:50Speaker 1: pop in next.
- 18:51Speaker 2: We'll get his thoughts about things.
- 18:52Speaker 1: And I got to tell you guys about since Arman
- 18:54Speaker 1: mentioned National Marquette, my encounter.
- 18:56Speaker 2: Can't wait for this.
- 18:57Speaker 1: You're I don't want to I don't want to stereotype.
- 19:00Speaker 1: I don't want to pay with a broad brush. But
- 19:01Speaker 1: when I think of Marquette students who had a couple
- 19:05Speaker 1: oils in them, I encountered one in a big way.
- 19:09Speaker 2: You that wow? Nice?
- 19:11Speaker 3: Hey man, you see a quarter beiers at Caffrey's. I
- 19:13Speaker 3: will wait for Drew's story, but.
- 19:15Speaker 1: Dolphins coming in next. It's the huddle Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin.
- 19:24Speaker 1: A huddle Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin. Drew Billy Arman and
- 19:28Speaker 1: our special guests are halftime reporter Scott Dolphin from the
- 19:30Speaker 1: Country Station down the Hall.
- 19:32Speaker 2: What's up, Drew?
- 19:32Speaker 1: Welcome back boys, back from the Dominican. Yes, back from
- 19:36Speaker 1: Boots on the Beach. A successful mission.
- 19:38Speaker 2: Very much so.
- 19:39Speaker 7: Two hundred and just shy two hundred and thirty people
- 19:41Speaker 7: went with us. A lot of those were former Sunburn bowlers.
- 19:48Speaker 2: Yeah like that. Yeah, I saw the crew there a
- 19:50Speaker 2: little bit. Yeah, we did.
- 19:51Speaker 7: I would say, I don't know how many total, but
- 19:54Speaker 7: I'll bet you there was between maybe fifteen and twenty.
- 19:57Speaker 3: And how'd you manage the clicks? Because I know how
- 19:59Speaker 3: it is and these it's like a high school. There's
- 20:01Speaker 3: clicks here. There's these guys that hung out together. There's
- 20:03Speaker 3: the five that we've been.
- 20:04Speaker 2: Here last year. We know each other already, we're already friends.
- 20:07Speaker 6: Now.
- 20:07Speaker 2: There wasn't any of that, was there. If there were
- 20:09Speaker 2: issues Armored, I did not hear from anybody. See.
- 20:11Speaker 3: One of my biggest one of my biggest jobs is
- 20:13Speaker 3: always trying to unite all the friend groups and get
- 20:15Speaker 3: everyone to.
- 20:15Speaker 4: Know, Hey, you know this guy, is that a self
- 20:18Speaker 4: appointed job or that's that's why he's prompt Probably?
- 20:21Speaker 3: Yeah, that probably is trying to do it is it's
- 20:24Speaker 3: part of my instinct to try and unite and bring
- 20:26Speaker 3: the bring them together. And sometimes, you know what, people
- 20:29Speaker 3: just want to hang out and they want to hang
- 20:30Speaker 3: out with and I have to understand that sometimes.
- 20:32Speaker 7: Yeah, you know at the pool, at the pool and
- 20:34Speaker 7: and uh and and stuff, everybody is kind of doing
- 20:36Speaker 7: their own thing because it's you know, it's an all
- 20:38Speaker 7: inclusion for it.
- 20:38Speaker 2: There's like three or four pools.
- 20:40Speaker 7: But you know, during our show in the morning, the
- 20:42Speaker 7: concerts and stuff we did with the country actual night,
- 20:44Speaker 7: everybody was one big happy family.
- 20:46Speaker 3: That's the key that that's all that matters. That's everyone
- 20:48Speaker 3: comes together for those more.
- 20:49Speaker 1: Armon wants the vibe to be like the last six
- 20:51Speaker 1: weeks of six weeks of high school clicks disappear like united. Yes, yes,
- 20:56Speaker 1: it's like, oh it should have been like the sophomore years.
- 20:59Speaker 4: Everybody's sitting around the can fire me like, man, miss
- 21:01Speaker 4: you guys so much last night of summer, can't It's like.
- 21:04Speaker 2: A Brent Pack movie. Yes, very much.
- 21:08Speaker 3: It's so it is a big thing for I don't
- 21:10Speaker 3: know why what it is, but I'm glad you're back
- 21:13Speaker 3: and congrats and like another great trip for you guys.
- 21:16Speaker 7: It was thank you for me. It was very cool
- 21:18Speaker 7: and you know, every it never ceases to amaze me that.
- 21:20Speaker 1: People want to sample a shot of the shots we
- 21:23Speaker 1: did their mama wana, Oh my god.
- 21:24Speaker 2: Oh yeah, it hasn't gotten better.
- 21:26Speaker 1: That is the local, that's the Dominican. Their their national
- 21:29Speaker 1: pride of the shot.
- 21:31Speaker 7: I thought, you know, I think Milort is probably the
- 21:33Speaker 7: worst tasting booze I've ever.
- 21:35Speaker 2: Had, the Chicago thing.
- 21:37Speaker 7: Yeah, but but Mamauana is probably a close second. It's
- 21:41Speaker 7: just kind of cough, syrupy. It's just that.
- 21:47Speaker 1: Maana is rum red wine, honey and a mix of
- 21:51Speaker 1: tree barks, herbs and roots. Jesus liqueur. It's sacred in
- 21:56Speaker 1: the Dominican.
- 21:57Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like port wine and honey and like the roots. Yeah.
- 22:00Speaker 1: And we were I was driving in and uh thick,
- 22:03Speaker 1: we were. We had some Our cab driver had like
- 22:07Speaker 1: his own, like you guys want to drive like they
- 22:09Speaker 1: make their own at the store.
- 22:11Speaker 2: People make their own.
- 22:12Speaker 1: So of course we did and he did a shot
- 22:13Speaker 1: with us while he was driving us our cab of course.
- 22:17Speaker 4: So it's wort and moonshine basically what it sounds like
- 22:21Speaker 4: it's basically.
- 22:22Speaker 3: The forty four now they give you on your twenty
- 22:24Speaker 3: first birthday.
- 22:25Speaker 2: To be funny, the drink.
- 22:27Speaker 1: In Costa Rica, the drink is the chili watto and
- 22:29Speaker 1: wato is like the when they scrape the barrels from
- 22:33Speaker 1: the rum, they get this byproduct and it's called what
- 22:35Speaker 1: it's like, sheep rum, and then the chili wato is
- 22:37Speaker 1: basically it tastes very much like.
- 22:39Speaker 7: A bloody marry. Yeah, I was okay with the chili
- 22:41Speaker 7: wata this year when we were there. Yeah, the Mama Wana,
- 22:44Speaker 7: I don't think I can ever get used to. But
- 22:45Speaker 7: I'll say this, the Dominican people are the best, man.
- 22:47Speaker 7: They're so cool. They're always in a good mood, at
- 22:50Speaker 7: least the ones we met resort, and I love the
- 22:52Speaker 7: fact that that country is more baseball crazy than this
- 22:56Speaker 7: one is. You walk around and if you're wearing any
- 22:58Speaker 7: Brewers gear at all, Milwaukee, I want to talk to
- 23:02Speaker 7: you them up and talk baseball.
- 23:04Speaker 3: I remember where my brust up there, and I don't
- 23:06Speaker 3: remember who it was, but one of the one of
- 23:08Speaker 3: the ladies that was bartending told me how her son
- 23:11Speaker 3: was in one of the junior academies and that William
- 23:14Speaker 3: Domas was her favorite player, and she just wanted to
- 23:16Speaker 3: talk baseball, and I'm like, this is great. You know,
- 23:18Speaker 3: we got true baseball fans down here.
- 23:19Speaker 7: It is pretty cool. Bruce had that amazing complex down there.
- 23:22Speaker 7: I wish we could have taken a field trip there,
- 23:24Speaker 7: but it was like two and a half hours.
- 23:25Speaker 2: It was near Sena Demingo. Have you ever been down
- 23:27Speaker 2: there for that, Drew, I've never been to the complex. No, no,
- 23:29Speaker 2: I heard it's very nice, looks incredible. Yeah, all right, Dolf.
- 23:32Speaker 2: What was it like for you watching the Super Bowl?
- 23:34Speaker 7: Probably, like everybody else, you kept waiting for something to
- 23:37Speaker 7: happen early.
- 23:39Speaker 2: It was just kind of a stink. I felt bad
- 23:41Speaker 2: for the.
- 23:41Speaker 7: New England defense because they were really playing well in
- 23:44Speaker 7: that first half, but I mean, after a while, it
- 23:46Speaker 7: just breaks your spirit.
- 23:48Speaker 4: Was that not one of the defense shots? I can't
- 23:50Speaker 4: wait for the NFL films miked up of the sideline
- 23:53Speaker 4: when May fobbles and all of the defender defensive players
- 23:57Speaker 4: just heads got Yeah.
- 24:00Speaker 7: I mean that's what else can you do. It's just
- 24:02Speaker 7: a spirit breaker. But uh, you know people said it
- 24:05Speaker 7: all this year, Well, the Seahawks are a good team.
- 24:07Speaker 7: Their playoff team. But Sam Darnold's going to be the
- 24:09Speaker 7: trump factor here? Is he going to be throwing four
- 24:11Speaker 7: picks in the big Last night it was the Kenneth
- 24:14Speaker 7: Walker Show and that damn Defense.
- 24:17Speaker 2: Defense super Billy.
- 24:18Speaker 1: They just showed us stat fort of New England's plays
- 24:22Speaker 1: went for a zero or negative yards.
- 24:23Speaker 2: That's disgusting that.
- 24:25Speaker 1: That's like your dad playing Madden for the first time
- 24:27Speaker 1: and you won't start feeling bad for him.
- 24:29Speaker 3: He's hitting the button that just gets you know, the
- 24:31Speaker 3: guys in the back immediately.
- 24:32Speaker 4: Throwing the pass of the lap of tapping accent.
- 24:36Speaker 3: Yeah, oh, the linebackers trying to bad balls in the
- 24:38Speaker 3: air when it's a running play, no shot. Do you
- 24:42Speaker 3: think this is going to be a super Bowl that's memorable?
- 24:45Speaker 3: The all people were discussing that. In my event, it's like,
- 24:48Speaker 3: we won't remember the super Bowl. It's nothing remember Bunny
- 24:50Speaker 3: more than the super Bowl.
- 24:51Speaker 7: Absolutely, Yeah, the halftime show obviously will get way more talk.
- 24:55Speaker 2: Uh No, I don't.
- 24:56Speaker 4: Is it bad enough to be like memorable, like because
- 24:59Speaker 4: we had somebody out because this is the worst super
- 25:01Speaker 4: Bowl that you see.
- 25:01Speaker 2: I'm like, I don't know.
- 25:02Speaker 4: I did watch that Patriot Rams like thirteen to three.
- 25:06Speaker 4: I watched Seattle and Denver, which is like four super
- 25:08Speaker 4: Bowl since last year's.
- 25:09Speaker 3: Yeah, right, the Ravens one that went that the lights
- 25:13Speaker 3: went off was the most memorable.
- 25:14Speaker 2: Yeah, that was a good well and it was actually
- 25:16Speaker 2: a good game.
- 25:16Speaker 7: Right came on and it was more competitive when the
- 25:18Speaker 7: Broncos were getting blown out by everybody. What was it
- 25:22Speaker 7: fifty five to ten one year against the forty nine ers.
- 25:25Speaker 2: But yeah, overall, it's not gonna rank top once. We
- 25:27Speaker 2: got points at the end, but they all felt like
- 25:28Speaker 2: garbage points. I was already sleeping, I missed. I was
- 25:31Speaker 2: really surprised when I.
- 25:32Speaker 1: Saw points in the fourth quarter of a terrible game. Yeah,
- 25:35Speaker 1: I think that combined thirty points.
- 25:37Speaker 4: Yeah, in last year, I think it was like twenty
- 25:39Speaker 4: five or whatever, and it was thirty four.
- 25:41Speaker 2: Nothing at some point.
- 25:42Speaker 4: So it's just like we we it's a weird oddity
- 25:45Speaker 4: because in my lifetime, all of these games become the
- 25:48Speaker 4: best games of the season, and instead, you know, there's
- 25:51Speaker 4: been like four or five now sprinkled in back to
- 25:53Speaker 4: back years where it's kind of been a clunker.
- 25:56Speaker 2: You start seeing it though, that there's a little bit
- 25:58Speaker 2: of a difference. Dolf. We were saying it earlier.
- 26:00Speaker 4: It feels like the best teams are on the NFC side,
- 26:04Speaker 4: the best quarterbacks are all on the AFC side, and
- 26:07Speaker 4: maybe it just culminates when you see the team go
- 26:10Speaker 4: up against that quarterback almost won the MVP.
- 26:13Speaker 7: Yeah yeah, well we saw that yesterday. The defense wins championships, right,
- 26:17Speaker 7: They always said that. You know, for me, the Super
- 26:19Speaker 7: Bowl Sunday is just about the emotion you get. It
- 26:21Speaker 7: doesn't really matter who's playing for ninety nine percent of
- 26:23Speaker 7: the country, but you're when you're watching, you know, you
- 26:26Speaker 7: watch the flyover and they yeah, god get you get
- 26:29Speaker 7: a little misty eyed, and you get you get that
- 26:30Speaker 7: lump in your throat, and just from then on, it's
- 26:33Speaker 7: just it's such a special event. You know, the team
- 26:36Speaker 7: intros having superstars there. I mean, it's not a common
- 26:40Speaker 7: man's game anymore. You're not going to go watch with
- 26:42Speaker 7: your son.
- 26:43Speaker 1: It's one of the few, uh, monocultural events, like every
- 26:47Speaker 1: income strategy for It's like there aren't many of those.
- 26:50Speaker 2: Aren't really any of those anymore.
- 26:52Speaker 1: Really, the Olympics maybe okay, everybody can, but even the Olympics,
- 26:55Speaker 1: like it doesn't.
- 26:56Speaker 2: Compare to Americans to Super Bowl Sunday. I don't know,
- 26:59Speaker 2: I don't. I mean, I like it, but it's not
- 27:00Speaker 2: like Olympics.
- 27:02Speaker 1: So the biggest one of the world is the World Cup,
- 27:05Speaker 1: which is going to be here in North America.
- 27:07Speaker 2: But it's like even that in the States. We like
- 27:11Speaker 2: what we like.
- 27:11Speaker 7: That's the superw and and ad vice versa europe Europeans
- 27:16Speaker 7: South Americans. You know, there's a lot of people that
- 27:18Speaker 7: love the NFL and they'll tune into this game.
- 27:20Speaker 2: Sure, for sure.
- 27:21Speaker 1: And that was the thing and again with Bad Bunny,
- 27:23Speaker 1: like the NFL knew what they were doing, Like they
- 27:26Speaker 1: were trying to get eyeballs, and they were trying they're
- 27:28Speaker 1: trying to go to Rio, they're trying to open up
- 27:30Speaker 1: other markets and stuff.
- 27:31Speaker 7: That's what they were doing. The most streamed artist in
- 27:33Speaker 7: the world. Yeah right, yeah, yeah, so it made it
- 27:35Speaker 7: makes perfect sense. You know, follow the money. Despite the controversy,
- 27:39Speaker 7: the NFL doesn't care about your feelings when it comes
- 27:42Speaker 7: to that. They're they're out to protect the shield and
- 27:44Speaker 7: make money for them.
- 27:44Speaker 1: We talked about it earlier though, because Armond's a big
- 27:46Speaker 1: Olympics guy. The lump in your throat moment of the
- 27:49Speaker 1: opening ceremonies was Andrea Bocelli singing Ness and Dorma in Italian.
- 27:53Speaker 1: I didn't know any single word, but it was cool
- 27:54Speaker 1: as hell.
- 27:54Speaker 2: It was cool.
- 27:55Speaker 1: So that's I went into the like, I know a
- 27:57Speaker 1: little Spanish, but bad bunnies think it was all about
- 28:00Speaker 1: the cinematography and the show, the staging and the fact
- 28:03Speaker 1: that they could do that in twelve minutes and get
- 28:04Speaker 1: that set on there and make a compelling TV show.
- 28:08Speaker 1: Twelve minutes of compelling TV in the middle of a
- 28:10Speaker 1: halftime like it's incredibly.
- 28:11Speaker 7: Brought an entire sugar cane field. Uh did you feel
- 28:14Speaker 7: for the Olympics at all? When you know, you know,
- 28:16Speaker 7: you see the breaking news and we won Golden figure
- 28:19Speaker 7: skating in downhill and I'm thinking, damn, this is a
- 28:22Speaker 7: bad day to be a United States Olympian because you're
- 28:25Speaker 7: not getting your glory.
- 28:26Speaker 2: That's right, you know, I just saw it, and this
- 28:28Speaker 2: stunned me.
- 28:29Speaker 1: That the Super Bowl we've been talking about, super Bowl
- 28:31Speaker 1: sixty one, the one that we hope the packers are
- 28:33Speaker 1: in all due respect, golf at so Fi Stadium.
- 28:36Speaker 2: That's gonna be on Valentine's Day next year.
- 28:38Speaker 4: Wow, crazy idea, Huh? Valentine's Day, Super Bowl times quarterback.
- 28:44Speaker 2: Come on, come on, that's a game ball Billy, we
- 28:49Speaker 2: can't go. Let's go, baby.
- 28:52Speaker 4: You might as well just might as well just make
- 28:54Speaker 4: the reservations now. Twenty twenty seven, Super Bowl Valentine's Night.
- 28:59Speaker 4: Jordan Love hoist thing the Lombardi trophy packers for it.
- 29:01Speaker 2: To the beach. Yeah, I better push it back. Well,
- 29:05Speaker 2: you guys probably have to.
- 29:06Speaker 7: We've been on boots on the beach when the Super
- 29:08Speaker 7: Bowls happened before, and they usually do a nice job
- 29:11Speaker 7: of putting up a bit.
- 29:11Speaker 2: And we did watch one one time. I was one
- 29:14Speaker 2: time it happened.
- 29:14Speaker 1: Yeah, we did watch the Super Bowl at Sunburn, but
- 29:16Speaker 1: I wasn't. I don't remember where it was.
- 29:18Speaker 2: I was on the travel.
- 29:20Speaker 1: I was on the travel roster, you know. Yeah, next
- 29:22Speaker 1: year it's like the fourteen. Well and Drew, I've you know,
- 29:26Speaker 1: started doing more of that because you start to understand
- 29:28Speaker 1: like where you can start pitting pointing. All right, I
- 29:31Speaker 1: got to make it six months and I can get
- 29:33Speaker 1: to this day and I get to watch football, like now,
- 29:35Speaker 1: I'm already starting a countdown. Yeah, I put that countdown
- 29:38Speaker 1: on my on my phone. It's one hundred and eighty
- 29:40Speaker 1: nine days until I watched the football What.
- 29:42Speaker 7: About the calendar of the combine that's next just a
- 29:44Speaker 7: few short weeks away.
- 29:45Speaker 2: Yeah, the underwear Olympics just isn't gonna do it. Are
- 29:47Speaker 2: you serious? You're not a fan, Billy. I'm surprised that you.
- 29:50Speaker 2: I didn't say that. It's just it's not the same,
- 29:53Speaker 2: scratched it.
- 29:54Speaker 4: Yeah, I appreciate it, and I like the draft and
- 29:57Speaker 4: and you know, maybe we'll be doing a draft show.
- 29:58Speaker 4: I don't know because we're doing the show in the
- 30:00Speaker 4: morning and basically doing a draft show.
- 30:02Speaker 2: But like you, you you have a time for that. And
- 30:05Speaker 2: right now I'm in the sulking in.
- 30:07Speaker 4: I'm sad that football is over and now I'm gonna
- 30:10Speaker 4: have to deal with these other sports.
- 30:12Speaker 3: See that will be That's the thing, Billy, and I
- 30:15Speaker 3: can never get with you because I like all sports,
- 30:16Speaker 3: so I'm looking forward to the next one. But for Billy,
- 30:19Speaker 3: I know it's hard for you to mourn the football
- 30:21Speaker 3: season right away. Like as many times as I tell Billy,
- 30:24Speaker 3: we're only four and a half weeks from selection Sunday,
- 30:26Speaker 3: it doesn't do it for you.
- 30:27Speaker 7: No, it doesn't. No, see, No, it does for me.
- 30:29Speaker 7: I'll be excited about college basketball like you do, Arman.
- 30:32Speaker 7: So I am looking forward to the next chapter, which
- 30:34Speaker 7: is college hoops really amping up now that we're getting
- 30:36Speaker 7: into the middle of February.
- 30:37Speaker 3: I think Billy wants you sit down at the restaurant
- 30:39Speaker 3: and the menus in front of you are like, all right,
- 30:40Speaker 3: it's here, We're ready to eat. But you're not looking
- 30:43Speaker 3: forward to go one to that restaurant, like for a
- 30:44Speaker 3: month ahead of time. Is that a fair way to
- 30:46Speaker 3: look at it. You're gonna make me do this? Like, no, no,
- 30:50Speaker 3: you can be you. It's the most overrated sporting event
- 30:54Speaker 3: in the world. WHOA No, but I appreciate it.
- 30:59Speaker 2: I like it. I love watching it.
- 31:01Speaker 4: But no, but people act like it is the the
- 31:04Speaker 4: greatest things in slice bread. Why so you can watch
- 31:06Speaker 4: Furman Like, I'm sorry, I like watching Mercer enough to
- 31:11Speaker 4: think that it's the greatest thing.
- 31:12Speaker 7: And you can watch Furman take down Duke. Possibly that's
- 31:15Speaker 7: what makes it such a special event.
- 31:17Speaker 2: I totally could.
- 31:17Speaker 4: And I could also maybe watch my two year old
- 31:20Speaker 4: listen to me when I say, don't push your brother
- 31:22Speaker 4: over when he's standing at the couch. It might happen
- 31:25Speaker 4: once every forty eight times, but likely I'm gonna be
- 31:28Speaker 4: sitting here saying, great, now I gotta get up, pick
- 31:30Speaker 4: the crying kid up, and now we gotta go here
- 31:32Speaker 4: watch it.
- 31:33Speaker 2: In the three o'clock window and lose again.
- 31:35Speaker 7: So you're never gonna see Furman take you down Ohio
- 31:38Speaker 7: State or Georgia.
- 31:39Speaker 2: But there's a chance Virginia.
- 31:42Speaker 4: Yeah, no, doll, thank you, thank you, because it's the
- 31:44Speaker 4: same people that told me, you know what, we need
- 31:47Speaker 4: five teams from the group of five into the college
- 31:49Speaker 4: football playoffs.
- 31:50Speaker 2: That was a miss. That'll make it so much better.
- 31:52Speaker 2: It was a mistake. But college bat.
- 31:54Speaker 7: Chance is different, don't you agree, Because every once in
- 31:56Speaker 7: a while, once in a blue moon, you get that
- 31:58Speaker 7: fifteen to US County awesome, and you get.
- 32:01Speaker 2: It more than more than that, you get it the more.
- 32:04Speaker 3: The biggest complaint people happened, just too much chaos now,
- 32:07Speaker 3: so I don't know.
- 32:07Speaker 2: Okay, one's got their taste. That's okay.
- 32:09Speaker 4: It was too much chaos when the team won by
- 32:13Speaker 4: double digits every single game of the championship.
- 32:15Speaker 2: Was that two years ago?
- 32:17Speaker 3: That did happen? Yeah, I mean that was the champion.
- 32:20Speaker 3: But in the midst of that journey, we got some
- 32:22Speaker 3: wild stuff.
- 32:23Speaker 1: And the NFL story we just watched unfold yesterday, we
- 32:27Speaker 1: had a worse The first team had a top four
- 32:29Speaker 1: draft pick, you know, play in the super Bowl and
- 32:31Speaker 1: get their ass kicked.
- 32:31Speaker 2: But they played in the super Bowl.
- 32:32Speaker 1: And the Super Bowl team that was ten and seven
- 32:34Speaker 1: with Gino Smith that no one had on their radar
- 32:37Speaker 1: of going to the Super Bowl.
- 32:38Speaker 2: The second year coaching.
- 32:40Speaker 1: Thirty yd field goals last year that somehow drew at
- 32:43Speaker 1: one point had worse Super Bowl odds than the Arizona Cardinal.
- 32:47Speaker 2: How about that at one point the Cardinals the title.
- 32:50Speaker 7: It was a team that really wanted Gino Smith back,
- 32:53Speaker 7: but it just wasn't meant to be, so they rolled
- 32:55Speaker 7: the dice on Sam Darnold. I didn't realize this until
- 32:57Speaker 7: I broke yes. Every playoff game was an outdoor. Despite
- 33:02Speaker 7: the fact that everybody's going Dome and that awesome, every
- 33:04Speaker 7: playoff game.
- 33:05Speaker 2: Was outside might last one of the last times that happens.
- 33:08Speaker 2: We should we should appreciate it, Beautiful Santa Clara. It
- 33:11Speaker 2: really was.
- 33:11Speaker 1: How many teams have completed the entire playoff run in
- 33:14Speaker 1: the expanded playoff era without a turnover because Seattle went
- 33:17Speaker 1: the entire tournament without a turnover.
- 33:18Speaker 4: Yes, well, and that being that, and that being Donald's thing. Drew,
- 33:22Speaker 4: you're right, because there's always a turning point in the season, right,
- 33:24Speaker 4: and you can pinpoint this game.
- 33:25Speaker 2: Or that game.
- 33:26Speaker 4: He throws four picks against the Rams the first time
- 33:29Speaker 4: they play in Los Angeles. They lose it by like two,
- 33:33Speaker 4: They damn near win it on like a sixty some
- 33:34Speaker 4: yard field goal. Remember we're watching doing backers ot Well,
- 33:38Speaker 4: I think he's turned the ball over six times since
- 33:40Speaker 4: Week twelve, which was the next week.
- 33:43Speaker 2: They beat the Rams twice in that run, and they
- 33:44Speaker 2: haven't lost.
- 33:45Speaker 7: So you have to appreciate what the guy has done
- 33:47Speaker 7: because remember he was just kind of a punchline early
- 33:49Speaker 7: in his career with the seeing ghosts and all that.
- 33:51Speaker 7: And then last night you thought maybe the way the
- 33:53Speaker 7: Patriots were playing d they might get to him. He
- 33:55Speaker 7: had the overthrow. It was at Smith and Jigmo where
- 33:58Speaker 7: had six six easy. But then after that he settled
- 34:01Speaker 7: in and let his running game do the rest.
- 34:03Speaker 1: And was dialed in late big time. Was absolutely it's
- 34:06Speaker 1: now we start. Now winter's underway. When you're having boots
- 34:10Speaker 1: on the beach like winter's here. It's the long cold
