0:14

it's SV Pod. Stepper,

0:16

Steve, is here. We're getting back to something

0:19

closer to a normal schedule, which is which

0:21

is good. I'm a I'm a the creature

0:23

I have it, aren't I, Steve?

0:28

You hear that laugh right there? The best part

0:31

is that you know it. Yep.

0:33

And 60 else does too,

0:35

and that's what that's what makes it work. But

0:38

we couldn't give it to people too much. Like, we take

0:40

Thursday and, you know,

0:42

they can't have another one Monday. We gotta gotta

0:44

get some to chew let them chew on something, you

0:46

know. Also needed to wait for the wild card

0:48

weekend. Pardon me super wild card weekend to

0:50

be done, which it duper. Thank you. Which it

0:52

was? It will and then was. It was a fun weekend.

0:56

Most impressive team was to

0:59

Dallas. Right? Yeah. With

1:02

what was riding. Yeah. I just

1:04

I I

1:04

just still am heartbroken for Ravens.

1:07

III can't believe they

1:09

give that effort and they lose on a ninety eight yard

1:11

follow term. No. That's not that. But yeah. Let's go

1:13

cowboy. Cabble combo. That that was

1:15

stunning a result as it could be. I mean, you're gonna be a

1:17

head seven instead you're down seven. I mean, it's just -- Yeah. --

1:19

supposed to happen. I mean, it did. Because

1:22

of what's riding, because they played, like,

1:24

absolute 60 against

1:26

Washington the week before. Mhmm. I I mean,

1:29

you and I don't know how many people

1:31

saw it. Because, you know, there's a lot going

1:33

on that Sunday. I mean, people if if you're watching

1:35

Red Zone, however I was in LA watching

1:37

Bronco's charters. That was our

1:39

game out there. That's too bad because that

1:41

was not a great one. But

1:44

look, Washington and Dallas has won any good

1:46

either because Washington kicked their ass. And

1:48

McCarthy said as much, And Zach said

1:50

as much afterwards when he talking about his kicker,

1:52

saying was given money money monitor,

1:55

you know, don't worry about it. You're

1:57

good. I played like

1:59

last week too. Well, yeah, you did. That

2:01

was horrible. And the stakes

2:03

can't be higher, man. No.

2:05

Or is it Troy's in a building? Last time they

2:07

won a road playoff game, he was he's beaten Steve

2:10

Young thirty years ago. That's

2:12

insane. For a franchise

2:14

we talk about, as incessantly

2:16

as we do, they've

2:19

got they've done nothing for

2:21

that long. I said in our

2:23

show 60, I said, the cowboys are the Knicks.

2:25

We just 60 a

2:27

lot about

2:28

them. What do they ever do?

2:30

I mean, can you make you mad? Just like, I'm not That's

2:32

not my opinion. I'm just looking at the

2:34

wall. Look at the results. Correct.

2:36

So they had to do something and

2:39

did. And they did it pretty emphatically,

2:41

their defense, which is you've been pointing

2:43

out, been concerning? Yeah.

2:46

Look the part against tap it. Maybe

2:48

part of that's what they're up against. We'll get to

2:50

the Brady piece in a minute, but all

2:52

credit to DAC, all credit to Kellogg

2:54

more I thought he was great,

2:56

their coordinator, had great play

2:58

calls, great designs. McCarthy people loved to

3:00

crush that guy. He was aggressive. Early

3:04

worked. His team was ready

3:07

for certain. You know? Like, they flushed

3:09

They flushed last week 60 in a week. Yep.

3:12

Again, knew they had an extra

3:14

day to stew on it, and

3:16

they came out with an attitude, man. 60, we

3:18

were watching those first couple 60. Both

3:20

teams had the ball twice, and then

3:22

there was the fourth punt, and

3:25

there was ten minutes left on the clock. And I said,

3:27

oh, boy. Hard to do than the NFL

3:29

soccer. Hard to have four possessions

3:31

in less than five minutes at game time, but

3:33

then there was a penalty for

3:35

roughing. It put it put

3:37

Dallas on the on the Tampa Bay side

3:39

of the 60, and it was like they were off

3:41

and running. Mhmm. And all

3:44

credit to him. All credit to him. The

3:46

kicking piece is wild because that kickers

3:48

he's he's a good kicker. And I mean, you

3:50

had Jerry Jones said, no. No. He's he's done enough

3:52

good ones. They're not gonna

3:54

run him. I mean, I don't think you're gonna be trotting

3:56

out kickers the week before you go play San

3:58

Francisco. I also think you'd like to probably

4:00

you'd love to see him sort that out. That became

4:02

really I felt like the

4:05

America was watching hoping

4:07

Dallas would score just to see what would happen.

4:09

No joke. Like, I think it's It's

4:11

never happened before. No. Well,

4:13

it's just it's I I saw it interesting.

4:15

I think it might have been brandle 60 on

4:17

Twitter. Which was a fascinating question.

4:19

Do people love to watch? Great

4:22

players do the do great things?

4:24

Or is there some part in people

4:26

that they enjoy 60 more

4:29

watching someone who's great at something 60

4:32

not be able to do it. I think there's this

4:34

You think it's that. Right? No, Dow. I mean,

4:37

just look at the US Open and Golf.

4:39

People love when those

4:41

guys are out there grinding trying

4:43

to stay below par and that course

4:45

is just eating them alive. People love

4:47

that. Yeah. III don't

4:49

I I like to see greatness, Scott. So do

4:51

I? So I I get it

4:53

though. People you know, a golf I think

4:55

is is totally different in the

4:57

essence of so many more people

5:00

can play it later in their How many

5:02

people no no one listening to us right now

5:04

can make a fifty yard feel go. Now 60 gonna

5:06

tweet us and go, I played for college. You know what I mean?

5:08

Okay. You you can. Most most

5:10

people listening can't. No. So

5:12

there's but most of you have probably played

5:14

golf or at least a lot of you have. So that's a great that's a

5:16

great 60, but It it just adds an

5:18

interesting subplot for them as they

5:20

go out and play for San Francisco. I asked Troy

5:22

this question. And his answer

5:24

was it could, but

5:27

And my point was, look, they

5:29

haven't been good in the playoffs. They've lost

5:31

at home. They but they've been at home and

5:33

they've been favorites. And the

5:35

pressure of that is massive. Now

5:37

they're playing the hottest team in football. They're

5:39

underdogs. Can that free you up

5:41

to just go let a rip? Absolutely. 60

5:44

Troy and Joe were so great all year long.

5:46

Such a blast to talk to those guys. And

5:48

Troy's got a smile on his face. He's like, yeah, I

5:50

could. But And

5:52

he's in an interesting spot. You know, he's an

5:54

all time legend. Yep. We all know what he

5:56

did there. And he kept saying over

5:58

and

5:58

over. Look, this is their time. It's their

6:01

chance to make to beat, to make it

6:03

their thing. And I'm certain

6:06

that there's that that a big part of

6:08

them wants and roots for that to happen. How could

6:10

you not? You know, you wore that star on the

6:12

side of your head. Yeah. It's it's

6:14

star back. It's you. I mean, there's

6:16

more, but I mean, the legends So

6:18

shortlist. And I'm sure he'd love to

6:20

see Jack become that, and Jack was great on Monday

6:22

night. Sure was.

6:24

And that was my biggest

6:26

point coming into the game was,

6:29

first off, it's

6:32

60, really hard. It happens in NBA 60. Happens

6:35

in the at the end of the NFL season and

6:37

then the playoffs come. It's the

6:39

hardest thing to do is forget what you saw

6:41

a team look like the week prior. It's

6:44

so hard to

6:46

do. How hard is it to forget if you're the

6:48

one who did it? That's you know what I'm saying? Not

6:50

hard at all. Really not at all because you're going

6:52

back the next day. You're watching the tape. You know where

6:54

you've where you messed up. Alright. And

6:56

you know what you have to do in order for that

6:58

not to happen again. Okay. And

7:01

you're you know, I I just think it's in

7:03

green. You have motivation to not let it

7:05

happen again. You're gonna have certain periods

7:07

in practice or more individual where

7:10

those things are are are

7:12

brought up and and

7:14

assessed in a different way. And

7:17

coaches that's beauty of coaching coaches.

7:19

Go about that different ways. But

7:21

when the underdog thing here is

7:24

yeah. III think I think they benefit

7:26

often. I also think is this thing

7:28

in a in a snowball

7:30

as it goes ahead, as the cowboys

7:32

being this force going. I

7:34

think this is it for this group. I

7:36

mean, you see Dan Quinn being rumored, Kelyn

7:38

Moore's being rumored. Yeah. Like, there is

7:40

a there's a locker room. You could

7:42

see building now that they got this one.

7:45

And now it's like, alright. Now

7:47

now now we go. And

7:49

there may be Yep. Here goes Big

7:51

Bad San Francisco. But -- Yeah. -- you said you got

7:53

confidence in yourself. Yeah, quarterback 60.

7:55

That defense get looked a hell of a lot better

7:57

last night. I thought that had a lot to do with Tampa.

8:00

But just they

8:02

know what they're up against. They were

8:04

that close slash. I totally forgot about that.

8:06

That was the game of the deck. You

8:08

know, scrambling. Yeah. The

8:10

end game mayhem. And

8:13

so I think I think

8:15

Dallas is going to go on the road and

8:17

play well. Now can they do it for

8:20

sixty? That's that's what the

8:22

difference is in the NFL playoffs. And

8:24

if you've if you've learned anything listening to the

8:26

key thing in life is you gotta sign up for sixty.

8:30

Okay. Sign up for sixty.

8:32

Yeah. That's Not fifty eight.

8:34

Not fifty nine thirty. Right? Sixty.

8:36

Right? Because that that's what that's what

8:38

life that's what life compels us to

8:40

do. Sign up for sixty. From

8:43

from the other results of the weekend. Yeah.

8:46

I'm afraid I'll ping Pauling around too much. If

8:48

I just go to AFC stuff.

8:50

Yeah. I just I wanna I wanna try to go I

8:52

wanna try to tick these off in

8:55

order, not necessarily. Let's just talk

8:57

San Francisco because that's who Dallas gets next.

8:59

Mhmm. That game was really wild

9:01

because it's right there for San

9:03

Francisco 60 Yeah. They called they called

9:05

a legal 60 down field on a

9:07

completion to lock it that I wanna say got it to, like, the

9:09

five. And were there men down field?

9:11

Yeah. There were. If you

9:13

wanna call that, it's like holding. You

9:15

can call it twenty

9:17

times a game. Yep. And

9:20

that backed Seattle up Bosa

9:22

gets the strip and I

9:24

it was was depot 60 one that got the next

9:26

one. It's hard to remember because it was just an

9:28

absolute avalanche. But

9:30

Seattle Seattle had them

9:32

in a game. And they're

9:34

in the red zone. Yep. And and then,

9:36

you know, wheels fell off.

9:39

60 excuse me. San Francisco, we

9:42

know the defense. Speaking of guys

9:44

in the cycle, Demiko Ryan's gonna get a

9:46

gig. Yep. Gonna get the one. I hope I hope he

9:48

gets a great one because it'd be a blast to see

9:50

him get a great team to be in

9:52

charge of. Mhmm. I'd like Quinn too

9:54

also. Like, you're gonna get twenty eight three

9:56

hanging around your neck forever. I'd love to ever get a

9:58

chance to put that behind him. But neither

10:00

here nor there. The the

10:02

the San Francisco story, and you said it in winners

10:04

because you and I both picked Seattle. Mhmm.

10:06

It was the only game I lost. Train

10:09

one. Why did you pick Miami? No

10:11

big

10:11

deal. Because because I did

10:13

take him or don't. Yeah.

10:15

You

10:16

said, at some point, Broad 60 gotta

10:19

just be average. Right? Like,

10:21

60 not. Well, he wasn't good in the

10:23

first half. He 60. And and that's why

10:25

you saw 60. I thought take advantage.

10:27

And I just loved

10:29

the idea of a

10:32

Seattle and a Miami that we

10:34

could talk about. Mhmm. But, like,

10:36

the idea of Reliance

10:38

say, you know, you you know you're the

10:40

underdog and you're gonna

10:42

rine your defense to keep

10:44

you in the game. It feels

10:46

like that NFL's gone.

10:48

You know, like, Gino

10:50

comes out. He's slinging around. DK

10:52

makes plays. They got locked and involved.

10:54

They started getting the run game going. Like that,

10:57

it shows like a not fear, and I

10:59

think that's Pete 60. And I think Mike

11:01

McDaniel was great with it too. Knowing

11:03

that you are a big

11:05

underdog and you are

11:07

gonna have to score in order to win this game,

11:09

whereas it always felt like in years

11:11

past defense teams 60 gonna rely on their

11:13

defense and and hang around in games.

11:15

This this was a a showing

11:17

for me where it stood out where Seattle was not

11:19

gonna be afraid. Everybody knew

11:21

they had two games against them, one

11:23

touchdown. So I I thought it

11:25

was impressed with 60, but this

11:27

San Francisco deal whether it's the

11:29

offensive line or the defensive line,

11:31

you gotta line up and keep

11:33

lining up because they just they

11:35

just keep coming after you.

11:38

60. And when I look at this matchup with Dallas

11:40

for sixty minutes, I

11:43

think I think San Francisco, when

11:45

they get that that that perimeter run

11:47

game going, with Kittle and

11:49

use check and guides the size of

11:51

60 and Ayuch. That's

11:53

a scary thing for for

11:55

corners and and safeties that gotta

11:57

come up. And I think you're gonna see a heavy dose

11:59

of that stuff, knowing how versatile Mcafri

12:02

is and Mitchell getting him back. He

12:04

looks great. So I think

12:06

Dallas knows that, but they're

12:08

gonna have to get a great, great

12:10

effort of in their back end because

12:12

they're gonna be able to confuse Purdy. They're gonna get

12:14

pressure on Purdy, but you have to

12:17

tackle those niners. And that that's I mean, they

12:19

are just kidding. 60 McAfee.

12:21

They get in the open field. They don't go down.

12:23

Yeah. That's a great point. They don't have they don't have an

12:25

easy dude to correct. Oh, not one. No.

12:27

They don't. Really don't. And then and then behind

12:31

McAfee, the guys that they got running are all

12:33

running with with fury as well. That's

12:35

That's a it's a wagon at the moment

12:37

with Sam. I'm just going, what a what a

12:39

cool thing. It's the niners and the cowboys

12:41

again. They've they've hooked up through generations. They've

12:43

been many different layers with

12:46

the all time grades competing. It was

12:48

fun to show a when those highlights because, you know,

12:50

he and Joe 60 talking about it last night, but I was like, let's

12:52

take a look at this. And it's like acumen to

12:54

emit. It's it's young

12:56

to rice. You know what I mean? 60 When I talk

12:58

about talent -- Oh my god. --

13:00

being efficient on offense. lot

13:03

of goldjackets on that field.

13:05

A lot of goldjackets on

13:07

that field. I I you wanna

13:09

talk about 60. We do that a lot. This

13:11

Yeah. You got those cowboy those cowboys

13:13

60. You talk about hating because

13:16

they were so damn

13:18

good. And no one like even

13:20

brings up

13:21

the idea of their defense and the

13:23

guys they had on like, they just

13:25

had 60. Every week they were so

13:27

hard to 60. Gosh, they were

13:29

good. It's fun because I have a

13:31

ton of having going to Maryland, there's a ton

13:33

of giant friends in my

13:35

timeline. Oh. It's

13:37

gonna be Have you heard from him recently? I mean,

13:39

it's just excruciating. I also have more than

13:41

usual. We'll just say I also have a bunch of

13:44

eagles fans. So What a

13:46

fun week this is. Bang bang,

13:48

bang, bang, bang, 60. We got the

13:50

60 band, and we got the eagle fans. Just

13:53

and I'm just

13:54

sitting. Look, I got nothing to say. But it's just

13:56

could we could I could I not be on the thread

13:58

this week? You 60

14:00

remove yourself? Yeah. I've done that once

14:02

before. Yeah. But done

14:04

it. Alright. Here you go. Who would you

14:06

rather watch the game with? Your

14:08

giants friends or Eagle friends?

14:10

Oh. Eagle friends. Because they're

14:13

nicer? No. Because they listen

14:15

to podcasts. They

14:19

listen to podcasts and we'll get it. I'll get an

14:21

early morning text from one of them.

14:23

Know, I think those giant those giant fans, so

14:25

they got, like, guys that could listen to

14:28

the pod and, like, give them clip notes too. So you

14:30

gotta be careful of those guys. Well, I'll just

14:32

say this one of my Giants friends. Like, if

14:34

it's if we get to watch at his

14:36

place in Cabo or his place in Vegas,

14:38

then I'd rather watch I mean,

14:40

if it is it a home game? I

14:42

don't know if you'll make it to the full sixty minute.

14:44

You wanna sign up for sixty? That's

14:47

that's a whole difference. That guy out

14:49

there. Now that sixty with him is I'm not

14:51

built for it. Not built

14:53

for it. But this is very

14:55

inside the Beltway. What we're talking

14:57

about is 60 Eagles

15:00

running it back for a third time.

15:02

And I I was reminded of

15:04

when Washington was a different version of

15:06

themselves. They were once they were known as the

15:08

RedSkins. They were Super Bowl contenders.

15:11

God, the Giants Washington rivalry

15:13

was fun. And certainly, the

15:15

Dallas rivalry, I think, through the

15:17

years, was one of the great rivalries

15:19

60 football when it was

15:21

at its 60. And, you know, the

15:23

Washington is the one NFC's team is not playing

15:26

this 60. I'm I'm interested

15:28

if people are gonna talk themselves into the

15:30

giants having a chance against Philly this week

15:32

because of what they saw last week.

15:34

Forgetting that they were playing against the Vikings

15:36

defense that's just awful. That

15:39

that's a great point. Great

15:41

point because III

15:44

just wonder about Philly

15:46

and them

15:48

possibly not being the team

15:50

we saw come out and

15:52

smash the Vikings early in the air and

15:54

roll through teams. They smash the

15:56

Giants Week fourteen 60 them twenty eight

15:58

twenty two, man. I I'm with you. They I

16:00

I think that losing losing hurts for

16:02

a couple of 60. I mean,

16:05

it's it's a it's a we joke about

16:07

me being a 60. I have it in teens. I 60, the

16:09

NFL, there's there's no more routine based

16:11

thing than the NFL. Mhmm. Nothing

16:13

nothing more routine based than that league.

16:16

And they had it cooking Greece

16:18

was hot, buddy. And then,

16:20

you know, not that mention wasn't bad or

16:21

60. I'm not saying that. But, you

16:24

know, you just lose the momentum that

16:26

you have of and and they and they

16:28

if you don't buy momentum, it's it's a confidence

16:30

based thing. And I I I'm with you there.

16:32

I wonder about that. But I don't

16:34

wonder about the giants against

16:37

the Eagles. I mean, I saw it. You

16:39

know? Yes. They're not they're not playing

16:41

Minnesota again. Minnesota? There's a reason

16:43

we all doubted you all year. There's a reason

16:45

you guys got mad at us for pointing out the point

16:47

differential, and you

16:49

guys had one game to wait and

16:51

you didn't. No.

16:53

They didn't. And just

16:56

the giants are dangerous, man,

16:58

because when you look at it, doesn't

17:00

look like a lot, but god are they

17:02

effective. And the way they line up

17:04

Barclay all over 60 place, Ryan Clark talks

17:06

about last night, you know, putting breed in,

17:08

making sure he gets some runs inside the

17:10

tackles to take hits off 60

17:12

Barclay. It's just smart

17:14

smart football. They don't ask, you know,

17:16

Jones to do too much.

17:18

The receivers have played out of

17:21

their minds. You know, no name guys. I knew Hodges because he

17:23

was 60 state. He's been

17:25

phenomenal. Yeah. It ends. Good for all

17:27

names. Yeah. Look look at there. You talk about

17:29

why receiver 60, why receiver too

17:31

and that everybody thinks that way now because of fantasy. I mean, they

17:33

don't have one.

17:34

No.

17:34

No. I mean, and 60 let me let me 60. Hodges

17:37

is played like one. And 60 all

17:39

credit too. I'm I'm saying they don't have one that no

17:41

one got drafted. None of these guys. No. No.

17:43

They they might 60 picked up late, picked

17:45

them up. But all credit to them.

17:47

I love the giant fan Steve, by the way, that

17:49

chirp at 60, you know,

17:52

six years

17:52

later, does he look like the number six

17:55

pick now? Your

17:58

team didn't pick up his

18:00

option, buddy. Yeah. Alright. Take it up

18:02

with them. All

18:04

I said, many years ago when he got

18:06

picked that night was, wow. This guy didn't seem

18:08

like the number six picked to me. Lost his last

18:10

home game. I think it was fifty eight to three to Wake

18:12

Forest. That's all I was saying.

18:14

It's just Typically, that's not the

18:16

profile of someone that goes

18:18

inside. I've met Daniel Jones. I

18:20

thought he hated me. Then we had just

18:22

to talk at the at the

18:24

Carolina Duke game last year in Chapel Hill. Just

18:26

60 briefly. You know, it's funny. I I was remembering

18:28

that this this week. I was like, So, when you think of

18:30

Daybell? He's like, I like him a lie. So, you're gonna love

18:32

him. I said, this this thing's gonna be

18:34

good. I really think this is gonna be good.

18:36

And that combination of Daybell,

18:38

the Martin Dale Hire. And I

18:40

think could he be a head coach? He seems like the kind of

18:42

guy that just knows this is the lane I'm supposed to be 60

18:44

I'm great in this lane. I'll stay in it. Maybe I'm wrong.

18:47

Mhmm. But I'm thrilled for

18:49

Jones because they

18:51

didn't pick his his option

18:53

up, and now he's gonna get paid. And

18:55

every and every game he

18:57

wins It just adds to it. And now

18:59

you got a chance, 60, because not you know,

19:01

I do think because I do, that

19:04

if you win a game like this

19:06

against 60 if

19:08

it were Dallas that it's in a way worth

19:10

more in the playoffs because it feels like it

19:12

magnifies it to

19:13

me. Oh, for sure.

19:16

It's it's it's enormous. I

19:18

just think about I could be

19:20

totally wrong here, but the

19:22

idea of Eagles' giants always

19:26

felt like the Eagles were

19:28

the underdog. In playoff

19:30

games. You know? That's because that's because

19:32

you're old enough to remember when when the

19:34

giant when that's that was the rep. And

19:36

the Eagles and and by

19:38

the way, Think about being in the NFL 60, Steve,

19:40

and being the 60, where

19:42

Washington, Dallas, and New York all

19:44

have not Lombardi. They

19:46

got multiple. Yeah. You got none. And boy,

19:48

we got our money's worth making funny Eagle fans on

19:50

that one. Yeah. But

19:52

now they've got one. And so it

19:55

it it's a different feel for that

19:57

for that Although our friends just waken

19:59

the back and forth, I mean, you know,

20:01

giant fans will be dusted off the

20:03

old ones. Oh, yeah. That's that's what fans are

20:05

supposed to do. Absolutely. 60 I

20:07

do you mentioned Martindale. Mhmm. That's the thing. That's where,

20:10

like, Philly, are they

20:12

as good as they have been off? I think the

20:14

Lane Johnson injury is

20:16

enormous 60. Because that's

20:18

what the giants the difference in.

20:20

Everybody talks about Jones in the offense.

20:22

That defensive line.

20:25

Leonard Williams, Dexter Lawrence,

20:27

you wanna talk about men up front?

20:29

Those are some men. Yeah. I hear you.

20:31

And Phyllis, this is gonna be a

20:33

good test. Right. Now So

20:35

that's No one else will mention.

20:38

This is a night game at the

20:40

LINQ. That place

20:43

60, Rowdy, bed. Rowdy,

20:46

bed. There'd be

20:48

a I don't know if we can play that.

20:50

They will be red to go.

20:53

Yeah. I just I know that. No

20:55

question. Maybe we're red to go. I

20:57

remember that night. I remember that night

20:59

when when they wanted and Chris, but it was

21:01

them against the Vikings. Yeah. And they played

21:03

Meek Mill for getting And

21:05

that game was over. I just remember Chris and

21:07

Alex said anybody could 60 got it

21:09

that night. Like, I'm

21:11

talking I mean, the fuse was

21:13

lit and it was

21:16

hold up. Wait a minute. Here we go. 60 was

21:18

something. Yeah. You're yeah. I that's you know

21:20

what? I hadn't thought about that. And I just did. And I'm

21:22

like, oh, yeah. Okay. Mhmm.

21:25

As you as you're fond of saying buckle up. So -- Yeah.

21:27

-- I had written down here one 60 that you're you're

21:29

concerned about. I I think

21:32

it's it's obviously Philly

21:34

looking forward to next

21:34

weekend. Kansas City isn't concerned you as much.

21:36

Right?

21:37

No. I I think Kansas City 60 in a

21:40

great spot here, Scott. I really do. 60

21:42

no one is talking about them.

21:44

Isn't that crazy? It's it's

21:46

amazing to me. Knowing what they've

21:48

done. I feel like we've talked about a lot

21:51

where other people have just brushed to

21:53

the side and with Hasselback

21:55

every 60, you know, with his anti

21:57

read, you know, experience and just

21:59

pointing out all the things they've done throughout

22:01

the year where they've

22:03

shown they are fine on

22:05

offense. Now it helps a lot. You got fifteen

22:07

back there getting every snap, but

22:09

just the diversity they've shown, and

22:11

I'm telling you they they pieced together

22:13

this defense. I think they're gonna be

22:16

better. There's not as many holes in it.

22:18

They're more active. Jones

22:20

upfront is a monster and

22:22

they feed off to him and everything, you know,

22:24

they they all their based off of what he does.

22:26

So Wouldn't they much they

22:28

they much rather would have played Jacksonville. I mean,

22:30

you don't wanna play Herbert. You guys there's

22:33

fundamental under standing. They they played

22:35

the charges twice this year, two really good

22:37

games. You know, the charges know what

22:39

Arrowhead is. They're, you know,

22:41

they're not gonna blink I

22:44

I feel that

22:46

the jags, whether they'd admit it

22:48

or not, look at all credit

22:50

to them for winning this game

22:53

go back to how they got there. They were down

22:55

I wanna say they were down nine points or more in

22:57

their last, like, their last five wins, some like

22:59

that. They were down big to Baltimore, down

23:01

big to Dallas, and they kept getting

23:03

up to off the deck. And when they're down twenty

23:05

seven, 60, there's a zillion things to talk about

23:07

from that game.

23:08

They've exuded a lot of energy. I

23:11

agree with that, you know. Yes.

23:13

Yes. But whatever

23:15

happens Saturday 60 Arrowhead.

23:18

Trevor Lawrence in the

23:20

playoffs for the first time in his

23:22

life had the worst thirty minutes of football

23:24

he's ever

23:24

had. Mhmm. And he didn't

23:27

blink and he came out

23:29

swinging in the second half charges

23:31

had

23:31

to participate in that. They had

23:33

to help. They had to give an

23:36

opening they did. But

23:38

Lawrence and the jags took

23:41

it. And that's, you

23:43

know, that's just fun. It's interesting how things

23:45

go. Because when people talk about

23:47

chartering, I understand Fine.

23:51

But it only happens

23:53

if the other team signed

23:55

up for 60. If the other team didn't

23:57

just decide to quit, if the other

23:59

team kept punching, and the other

24:01

team did. And so

24:03

it's just It's just like we'd rather 60 somebody than give

24:05

60. And I get that and

24:07

certainly the whole 60 piece. Yeah. You

24:09

deserve you deserve what you get

24:11

for that. Mhmm. But I

24:13

don't feel like the jags have gotten a whole lot of love for

24:16

what they actually did to win, but I do

24:18

still think it's house money this week

24:20

and whatever. Like, I don't I don't feel like they're

24:22

dragging a whole lot of baggage with

24:24

them. It's like, yeah, let's sue still see what

24:26

happens. I'm sure they rolled their eyes at me. That's just the way

24:28

I see it. No. I I'm just like,

24:30

I talked about the 60 defense being different.

24:32

I'm dying to see what Peterson does.

24:34

I think the world of him was a

24:37

game planner. Know you didn't. You I think

24:39

we've talked about this. You look at their

24:41

games and the Fantasy

24:43

Football mentality. People can't ever

24:45

seem to pick the right receiver or

24:47

Ingrams, like, turned into a weapon.

24:49

And what Peterson's gonna

24:51

do is attack he thinks is

24:54

that weakness in the back end.

24:56

And I I I'm just I can't wait to see it.

24:58

I think I think

24:58

you have to have the Ohio state against Georgia

25:01

mentality. I think you have to go in there just Here's we're

25:03

gonna do. If if we

25:05

got 60 got a ball play over there?

25:07

You got you got something.

25:10

What is it? Right? Get put it put it in the pot

25:12

over here. Like, alright. Alright. You

25:14

wanna run a reverse in our own

25:16

five yard line? Alright. Go ahead.

25:18

Let's see. What do we got? Let's scheme it up.

25:20

Let's draw it up. You just you gotta you gotta

25:22

throw

25:22

haymakers. That's gotta be your approach.

25:26

And so Burndowns Good

25:28

luck getting fifteen off the field. That

25:30

doesn't happen a whole lot. But,

25:32

hey, man, they they

25:34

got they got sixty more minutes to play this

25:36

60, and that's more than a bunch of 60 from last

25:38

weekend can say. Baltimore is one of those teams.

25:41

Look, my affinity for them, not not a

25:43

secret, talked about 60 lot, how how we feel

25:45

about them organizationally. I

25:47

think you saw it. You saw their DNA

25:49

on display in that game. You got

25:51

Huntley out there. Mhmm.

25:55

And they're a yard and a half away from getting in.

25:57

I thought Harbor's explanation after the loss

25:59

was really interesting. Yep. He said it's a play

26:01

where it's designed. It's gotta be a 60

26:03

play note Not not just

26:05

tomorrow. Although although it does Right.

26:07

He burrows his way in.

26:09

We'll be right

26:12

back. From the one But

26:14

Huntley went over the top and,

26:16

you know, you're you're up twenty four

26:18

seventeen. No. You're down. And I

26:20

I put nothing past Joe Burrow,

26:23

but their old line was was influx

26:25

that

26:25

night, and they weren't moving the ball in

26:27

that second half. They were

26:29

gonna have to they were

26:31

about to need a drive 60 to get even. Mhmm. And

26:34

Hubbard makes an incredible play. What a call

26:36

from Tarico? God, he was great. The Cincinnati

26:38

kid, the whole bit.

26:41

But I just the

26:43

day after, it's like, you think of all the games I

26:45

look at that one, I think, that'd be a

26:47

that'd be a tough one.

26:50

For that to be how your season ends against the division

26:52

rival with your backup quarterback and

26:54

you're a yard and a half away from taking

26:56

a lead and then you're down seven.

26:59

I mean, longest return in the history of the

27:01

NFL. Mhmm.

27:03

I'll I'll just stop because III don't wanna

27:05

just dive right into the bills and what they did,

27:07

but what what Is there anything from that

27:09

game that's you had mentally noted?

27:12

Yeah. It's the I

27:15

think people's if I read this

27:17

correctly, they're gonna have the same offensive line at the

27:19

end of the season with, which wasn't

27:21

great Cincinnati. 60 of

27:23

Williams to dislocate a

27:25

kneecap He played the week after that happened the first time, though, I

27:27

believe. Like, I think they're telling him I mean, look, I'm

27:29

not I I don't know. You don't get mad with

27:31

that because it's I hear you.

27:33

Your socket gets smaller or

27:35

I should say expand. So

27:37

the ability for it to pop out again

27:40

is that much more. Just tape it up, Steve, if you get

27:42

some listen. Get some of that gorilla

27:44

get gorilla glue tape. That stuff will

27:46

hold 60 together. Not

27:51

not against the guys. He's gonna have to coming

27:53

after him. Like, it's it's it's

27:55

it sucks because it feels

27:58

But the littlest slippage and that's where you start getting to,

28:00

like, non contacting or, like, just a

28:02

jolt of a hand, not even getting

28:04

landed on or anything like that. It's

28:06

it's pressure based and it's it's really

28:08

tough for 60 knowing

28:10

the size of him too. That that's

28:12

what complicates everything. With that

28:14

knee. 60 all all lines a huge

28:16

concern for Cincinnati in 60 this

28:19

game. For Buffalo, the the

28:21

concerns turnovers, although I

28:23

I give Miami so much

28:26

credit. Mhmm. And and I give Mike McDaniel a

28:28

ton of credit. They're crushing him afterwards,

28:30

like, all the procedural penalties and couldn't

28:32

get plays in. You got third string quarterback.

28:34

They're fourteen point dogs, Steve. They're down three

28:36

with a ball in a chance, man. What do you

28:38

want? Be realistic. Be

28:40

reasonable. Like, Could they have gotten plays in yet?

28:42

And McDaniel explained afterwards Thought he

28:44

had a first

28:44

time. Correct. And so you got your personnel grouping and

28:47

your play call to to to run a

28:49

first down play and it's a fourth in one play and

28:51

now you you're out of time outs. As it

28:53

is, the play that ran was about to get blown up

28:55

anyway. Mhmm. So

28:57

the fourth and

28:58

sixth, frankly, was, you know, they got

29:00

a second shot at it after the after the

29:03

delay. But What's the play

29:05

clock in flag

29:07

football league. Alright. You

29:09

you're allowed the other team's defense is allowed

29:11

to get their guys set. Alright. Unless you

29:13

quick snap and then maybe we got

29:15

we got 60 rule changes for next

29:17

year. You on that committee? I don't

29:19

know. I don't know. I don't know. We're still again, Sam's in

29:21

the portal, he's fielding offers. Respect

29:24

my

29:24

decision. The the

29:27

the turnover thing, like,

29:29

it's I get it. Mhmm. Alan's

29:31

turned it over a

29:33

bunch. But if you'll

29:35

watch the game, the the

29:38

plays that Alan gets massive,

29:40

not chunk plays, fifty yard place.

29:43

The the mob that digs early, this

29:45

he's looking for the same thing to

29:47

brown later and Miami makes a great

29:49

play on a ball. Mhmm. You're looking for Beasley,

29:52

the ball stinks off his

29:54

shoulder, and they and Holland, I who's

29:56

Holland. Right? 60 makes a

29:58

play. Yeah. I I

30:00

don't there there have been a bunch of

30:02

turnovers that Allan's had in the red zone where I

30:04

feel like he gets impatient and just

30:06

It's almost like he just it's almost like the

30:09

controller For second. The short the

30:11

the the controller just I hit the

30:13

wrong button. Mhmm. I was trying to hit

30:15

a. I was trying to hit I

30:17

just freaked out. But I don't

30:19

feel like those were the turnovers that were made in

30:21

that game. I

30:23

do think that you 60 to

30:25

be buttoned up and clean against

30:27

Cincinnati, or you're gonna be in

30:29

trouble. Because both of those neither of those teams

30:31

have lost in a long time, And,

30:33

you know, we get the game. We were going to get

30:35

the night of the of the Hamlin 60, and

30:37

his recovery continues to be just great

30:39

news all around. But

30:42

is is pissed off as I think I mentally

30:44

got over the and

30:47

I I again, I'm gonna make it

30:49

clear The Moore's

30:51

most important thing was the Hamlin injury 60

30:53

and dealing with it, but the

30:55

way the AFC got sorted

30:57

out would like this coin flip thing with

31:00

Kansas City and Buffalo because Buffalo beat them

31:02

and it earned the right to have home field if they ended

31:04

up with the same record. We'll since

31:06

an 60 have ended up with the same thing too, and now they

31:08

gotta go to Buffalo. Yeah. You know,

31:11

how that works doesn't feel fair

31:13

either. I just I just really

31:15

like both of these teams Both of their

31:17

coaches that who they are as

31:19

humans, I think, was elevated in the

31:21

eyes of everyone. The way Zach

31:23

Taylor and Sean McDermott dealt

31:25

with the situation that Monday

31:27

night in Cincinnati. And the way both those

31:29

teams dealt with it, I think,

31:31

was incredible. But now it's cool,

31:34

is now 60 we gotta

31:36

play, and we're gonna play. And the stakes are

31:38

higher than they were in that game.

31:40

And each team's got some things to be

31:42

concerned about going in, but each team has

31:44

enough to they're 60 lean into the confidence if if we're

31:46

right, that we're playing next weekend to go to the

31:48

Super Bowl.

31:49

Yeah. One thing I was wondering because

31:52

I got lost in the whole neutral site deal. Why

31:54

isn't this game, the neutral site

31:57

game? That's my point. That

31:59

there there was that that was the conversation

32:01

people were having about, well,

32:03

why could why why aren't we playing in Atlanta for

32:05

this one? Yeah. Well,

32:07

because because Buffalo's record was

32:09

better than Cincinnati's. And

32:12

do I have that right? I don't You

32:16

know what? I'm just gonna do something people that do what we

32:18

do, mostly don't do and say, I can't remember.

32:20

I don't know. I read it and I know.

32:22

There's some there's there's a

32:24

reason but it's not a great reason.

32:26

Yeah. Because it was enough of of a thing where I

32:28

thought that doesn't seem fair for Cincinnati wire.

32:30

They they 60 be complaining more. I mean, they'd

32:32

have every right They'd have every right

32:35

to to complain more based on the

32:37

way it all got shaken out. Now they didn't have to

32:39

flip a coin for Baltimore, but, like, 60 we in

32:41

Buffalo? And again, I read something, I

32:43

forget.

32:43

36:44

got some sort of postmortem things on

36:47

on some people here. I saw

36:49

Lombardi got fired as 60 with

36:51

the chargers, and 60 looks like 60

36:53

gonna maybe maintain his gig with the

36:55

chargers. Mhmm. That's interesting because saw everybody at at Saturday night on Twitter,

36:58

no. It was official that already he had

37:00

been replaced. Yeah.

37:02

Maybe not.

37:04

No. Apparently not. 60 is interesting.

37:06

Maybe they feel organizationally. We just make

37:08

a change at the o c. We like who Staley

37:10

is as our guy. Okay.

37:13

Doesn't trouble me one way or another. But that job not

37:15

being available makes me ask

37:17

you, I see

37:20

every day the names that are in

37:22

the mix. There are a lot of interesting

37:24

names of all the jobs that

37:26

are currently available. And I say

37:28

currently because a job normally opens that a weird

37:30

time and you go, whoa, I didn't see that

37:32

comment. What what job do you

37:34

think? Is is it if

37:36

you're patent, And now the

37:38

chargers isn't available with

37:40

Herbert. Is there one that you go, oh,

37:42

that's that I want

37:43

that one. I

37:45

look at the people

37:47

laugh. After

37:48

watching last night, if that's

37:51

a division winner, 60 me

37:53

Carolina. They got pieces on defense. They

37:55

got they got other pieces 60 we

37:57

could piece this thing together

37:59

and we're we're in the

38:01

mix. Because if And Matt, is this that's

38:03

and that's your division winner. I'll I'll take

38:06

my chance at that division.

38:08

Okay. Alright. And 60 mean, I don't know. The temper

38:10

piece is interesting. You 60 a you got a, you know, an

38:12

entrepreneurial billionaire type guy that,

38:14

you know, I think he he's 60 he

38:16

wants to be great. Yeah.

38:19

But okay.

38:22

You don't you don't worry about I mean, 60, everybody

38:24

if you're the Texas, you got a quarterback question. If

38:26

you're Carolina got a quarterback question, you're

38:29

Denver, you have a quarterback question. That question is what

38:31

what did we sign up for here?

38:33

Yeah. I didn't know it for more Job sixty

38:35

with that contract. Jobs

38:39

come open for a reason. It's not because everything went great last year. So I

38:41

just was curious who what

38:43

you

38:43

thought. III

38:46

just reading what I've read,

38:48

talk to people I talked to, the Houston,

38:50

Texas could be the worst run organization

38:52

in

38:52

sports. Yeah. I don't want anything to

38:54

do with that. Yeah. I mean, look

38:56

what they did the last two years. I mean, I

38:58

mean, what took, like, couple of years 60. I

39:00

don't know. I mean, they they've

39:03

they've changed up some stuff. 60

39:05

mean, there's stories. I mean, look up the, like, the Easter based stuff that's just 60 it's

39:07

wild. Yeah. I mean, there's thirty two of these things

39:09

and one of them is being run

39:12

like this. Correct. What are

39:14

we what are we doing? Yeah. You could They

39:16

got a ton

39:17

of assets, man. A ton of assets. Oh,

39:19

wait. The cults are open. I would I'd I'd

39:21

say cults over Carolina. Sorry about

39:23

that. What about their quarterback situation? Wheel them

39:27

in. Okay. That

39:29

that works great. Yeah. This

39:32

year was additional extra

39:34

extra extra step back in quarterback.

39:36

I thought around the league. I mean,

39:38

just 60 the recognition of what you but you'd better have

39:41

somebody that can give you a

39:43

chance. Yep. I mean,

39:45

60 third of the games last week, yet

39:47

a yet huntley, and you had Skyler Thompson.

39:50

And they merged and they and

39:52

you missed well. Three third

39:54

stringers. That's

39:56

true. And both one of them

39:58

hasn't lost a start, and the other two

40:00

lost by single

40:01

digits, both covered again. Mhmm.

40:03

No big deal. 60

40:05

that makes the market

40:08

for a guy 60 Brady

40:10

interesting. Because

40:13

Quarterback play was so lousy,

40:15

and there were so many who

40:17

started games. And

40:20

Brady, The thing about a conversation

40:22

now, it it's it

40:24

feels like it's hard for people to

40:28

be reasonable because it's

40:30

not enough to just say 60 isn't what he

40:32

was. You gotta say so

40:34

much garbage

40:36

or washed or, you know,

40:38

you gotta use the most demonstrative aggressive, dismissive

40:42

adjectives -- Mhmm. -- to

40:44

describe somebody. Yeah. And I'll

40:46

say this. I watched

40:48

them a lot where I thought

40:50

those things weren't far from being

40:52

accurate because I just can't

40:54

I lost count of how many balls across

40:57

the middle short and a yard

40:59

and a half behind guys

41:02

I saw. It happened a lot

41:04

on Monday night. Yeah. You know, it's

41:06

sixty six times. It had thirty one in

41:08

completions. Both were

41:10

career highs. And so I

41:12

think I feel like a more reasonable way

41:14

to say it is, I think Brady's

41:16

still one of the top I

41:18

don't know. Is it

41:20

fifteen quarterbacks or 60? Probably?

41:22

Mhmm. But is that

41:25

enough for him? And I

41:28

say this with 60. I mean,

41:30

given given what he was willing to

41:32

to risk to play again, and I

41:34

mean, like, We all know what happened in his life. I mean, that's

41:36

that's 60 a sad situation

41:38

to have happened. I mean, your your marriage

41:40

breaks up. I in

41:42

part, I think, because you could still play keep

41:44

playing football. So if your appetite to

41:46

keep doing this is that and

41:48

and now you're that's no longer

41:50

you're no longer a couple. Well then,

41:53

what are you 60 decide now?

41:55

You're gonna quit? Forget that. You keep

41:57

60, I would think. Because that's

41:59

just how you're wired competitively.

42:02

So, you know, is it enough to be one of the top? I don't

42:04

know, fifteen

42:06

quarterbacks? Well, What else am I gonna do? I mean, I guess you could go at

42:08

Fox for a zillion dollars. Yeah. But

42:10

III would I don't know. I

42:12

I just get the sense from the people that

42:16

I talked to in respect that that he's playing somewhere and 60

42:18

be a market, but I guess this

42:20

is a lot of words, and

42:23

I'm sorry, I'm rambling. To

42:25

just ask you, what is he? Now,

42:27

what do you see when you

42:29

watch and play? I

42:35

think a

42:36

top fifteen quarterback, maybe

42:40

fifteen. What

42:42

It's obviously not what it 60, but also,

42:44

like, just look at the situation. I

42:46

I just I didn't think

42:49

they

42:50

reacted to the possibility of grok being gone.

42:52

I thought that was big because

42:54

you saw how important he was.

42:57

60 they, you they drafted some young guys.

42:59

That hasn't panned out. The offensive line

43:01

obviously took its toll. Yep.

43:04

And, you know, they

43:06

don't have You know, if there was

43:08

never think about the years, you know, that

43:10

it was edelman, it was Welker. It wasn't

43:12

that guy. You know, that that

43:14

that guy that, you know, they're down

43:16

guy. And I don't know the construction of the team. I think he probably upset

43:18

at that. But I was just gonna ask you,

43:20

do you think it's taking more time

43:24

to realize he wants to play

43:26

or retire or

43:28

the situation he wants to find.

43:32

That's interesting. III

43:34

would guess it's trying to find

43:37

the right fit. Me too.

43:39

60 it's more Yeah.

43:42

I wanna play. And I think he's demonstrated that

43:44

he still can. Yes. To

43:46

the level of

43:47

all like, his his

43:50

peak? No. So not how it works. No. He Forty

43:52

five was the number, and he's forty five.

43:54

He got 60, you know. Thank you.

43:58

But if I'm if

44:00

I'm him and I

44:02

had the year the hellish year I

44:03

had, I

44:06

wanna know what's what's our coaching

44:08

situation? Mhmm. Who am I throwing it

44:10

to? Correct.

44:12

Who my

44:14

left tackle to right tackle look like across

44:17

the board? What are

44:19

we

44:19

doing? Yeah. I think important things. And

44:21

and if you're him, you're

44:23

one of the you're one of the rare people

44:26

in sports for whom

44:28

organizations will bend. Mhmm.

44:32

Ask you what it is you want slash need even at this point.

44:35

But but is he I guess

44:37

that's that's the part that I'm that I'm struggling

44:39

with because there's just there's

44:41

just so much tape

44:44

of him looking just

44:47

60 up by the moment and walking off after yet

44:49

another three and out where it's three

44:53

60 great to Rose, and

44:56

I get, okay, the line's not good in this stuff. You got

44:58

Micah Evans and Chris Godwin. Yeah.

45:00

You're talking about the giants? Like,

45:04

Evans and

45:05

Godwin. Mhmm. Got a Lenny Fornett behind 60, running

45:08

around. Although you never had 60 to

45:10

one. It

45:12

ran it like eight times. I it's

45:15

just because it's Brady. He's

45:18

earned a different sort of a runway than anyone

45:22

else. To ponder these types of

45:24

things. And I just I don't

45:26

know. He's coming off a game where they were just

45:28

absolutely not competitive,

45:30

which wasn't some

45:32

stunner. There's just so many

45:34

examples of that throughout this

45:36

year, but that's what they look like.

45:39

And that's what he looked 60. And

45:42

just makes me shrug and

45:44

and wonder. I mean, tell

45:46

people let people in own little secret. I

45:50

went to the doctor on Tuesday

45:52

because I'm gonna get hearing 60. You know what?

45:54

Because I

45:56

can't 60. And I went to the I went to an

45:58

audiologist, like, five years ago. It was awesome.

46:00

He was, like, an SVP in 60, chunky,

46:04

awesome dude. And

46:06

he was just he was great because I think he just had license to be very 60 of

46:08

fact with me. He's like, alright. So here's the 60. You

46:10

don't hear real well. But you're not gonna get

46:13

hearing aids because your 60 and

46:15

you think it's like you're it means you're old and

46:18

elderly person bordering on

46:20

death and and so you won't get

46:22

them. But here's the

46:24

thing. It's not gonna get better.

46:26

Okay? You're getting older.

46:28

And so part of this is

46:30

hereditary. Part of this is that you have headphones on your head

46:32

blah blah blah. It's like, and then here's what you're

46:34

gonna do. In about five years, you're gonna come in,

46:36

you're gonna go, 60

46:38

need some hearing aids. And

46:42

so I went and I went and I told the doctor I said, look, I'm not here to

46:44

find out if I can't hear. I can't hear.

46:46

I'm here to help you ask you to

46:48

help me figure out what I won't lose

46:51

what I might be able to keep

46:53

tabs on and what won't be

46:56

that clunky thing that I'll look at and go, oh,

46:58

boy, I'm I really am

47:00

someone's people. What all of

47:02

this has to do with Brady

47:04

is, you can do

47:06

time with Tom you can

47:08

do Tom against time. It

47:10

it it ain't gonna

47:12

get better. No. You know? You

47:14

can dig in your heels and you could hold it

47:16

off as long as you want, but it's common, man.

47:20

Regression is coming for

47:22

everyone in whatever it is we 60,

47:24

and it's no fun to contemplate. So

47:27

I wonder, you

47:29

know, as 60 going

47:32

to get 60 big

47:35

old horn up. What'd

47:38

you say? I've said this before. God, my grandpa got blessed, headed

47:40

guy couldn't hear. I heckled him

47:42

for both things. Here I am bald.

47:44

60 get

47:47

it. You get it. It's all coming around kids. I just I don't know

47:49

if I don't know if this is what Brady is.

47:51

Somebody will want them I

47:54

just don't I don't know. Is there like some magical elixir

47:56

where he suddenly becomes the

47:58

twenty ten version? No. It's

48:01

not how life works. Sadly for

48:04

anyone. Like, I've checked

48:06

off everything I had

48:07

from my list of stuff. I'm sure you have

48:09

things I didn't get to. I

48:11

got one more thing. I I have one more thing

48:13

too. It's completely unrelated to any of this. Go

48:15

ahead. Okay. I

48:17

think I have a big

48:20

time money idea. Well,

48:23

why

48:23

share it with people here? Let's talk about

48:26

it privately.

48:26

We need a lot of people involved. Oh, is it like

48:29

a posy scheme? No. No. 60 to

48:31

remember to video BHS videos

48:33

like you could buy and

48:36

you would recap your championship season. And

48:38

then 60 MacRiff, Tom Amansky, instructional

48:42

video. Sure. K? Here's

48:44

the idea. Alright. I mean, FL

48:46

referees. Give me an instructional

48:48

video about what defensive

48:51

guys are supposed to do when they get to the

48:53

quarterback and they don't have to get

48:55

a flag. Show me how

48:58

you could sack a quarterback without getting

49:00

a flag. Because it

49:03

is insane. You levitate --

49:05

Yeah. -- you levitate. You you used to

49:07

spend the laws of gravity

49:09

and you don't land on him with your full

49:11

weight. Only some of your

49:13

weight. I'm I'm just

49:14

so tired of saying what you can't do.

49:17

Show me what you can do.

49:20

Yeah.

49:21

That's I I don't Get

49:24

all the reps, get them in some shoulder

49:26

pads, get dummies out there. Yeah. You show me show me what mister

49:28

60 -- No problem. -- show me how to do it,

49:30

buddy. And the NFL reps, you could get all

49:32

money. Just show us. Think people won't buy

49:35

60. 60 see what

49:37

is possible and the idea of referees 60 and other

49:38

referees, that'd be great. And

49:41

it's there's There's

49:44

real iffy stuff with that. It's not even iffy. It's just it's it's you're

49:46

asking people to you're asking people to do something that's

49:48

not show me what

49:50

they are supposed

49:50

to do. That's what I wanna see.

49:53

60. Because all you

49:55

say is everything is wrong

49:58

and that's a

50:00

flag. Fifteen. And those those are those are penalties that typically

50:02

change. And we're only gonna see more of

50:04

them. Entire

50:06

games. Yep. There's some influence this

50:08

weekend. There there that's the sad thing is that

50:10

we've got well, there's a lot of sad things. There's always

50:12

seven more football games, but there'll be

50:14

there'll

50:15

be some calls this weekend. Oh. Best best weekend of football year

50:17

that will be lamented 60 follow next week,

50:19

which we'll hate. But

50:22

we'll let's enjoy.

50:22

Let's enjoy this this weekend 60 there's big

50:25

games absolutely fantastic. Correct.

50:27

I wanna talk about

50:30

Legos. I've spent

50:32

kids were off on Monday. Weather wasn't

50:35

great here. Try to figure out what what are we

50:37

gonna do. My kids like Daddy Wood Sports are on.

50:39

I'm like, well, we actually got some games. But if I

50:41

turn the TV on and we

50:43

start watching, We aim over. 60 doing Michigan State,

50:45

by the way, that game was

50:47

awesome. Yeah. Eighty national player of the

50:49

year, market down. Who's

50:52

beaten 60? Nobody.

50:54

We couldn't we can't just watch

50:56

games all day. So Okay. So

50:58

my daughter had had a

51:01

it's a horse trailer set. And and so

51:03

she asked, can I go up? Like, hey, can we

51:05

do Legos? Yeah. Several

51:08

hours later, they're they're in

51:10

bags now, which --

51:12

Oh, they're numbered. --

51:13

correct one through eight in this

51:15

particular set. This is an

51:17

extensive build. And I'm I'm I'm trying

51:19

to think back in our day, it was

51:22

just a box and you dumped them out -- No. --

51:24

bags and y'all figured it out.

51:26

Yeah. I bolded it. You We need a red one

51:28

or a blue one.

51:30

But I I guess what I

51:32

wanna do is two things. A, I wanna say

51:34

to the 60 people, Bravo. It's

51:36

it's it's there's a strange satisfaction in

51:39

the completion of a bag. You feel like,

51:41

60, we're making some headway.

51:45

It's tedious work though. They're they're I

51:47

don't understand why we have these little tiny

51:49

things that go underneath and and we we it's

51:52

like page after page

51:54

after page. And then 60 do we

51:56

do? We take one giant blue square and put it on the whole

51:58

thing. And now all that work

52:00

that I've just done is

52:03

covered up. And you know what I realized? I didn't need to do any of it. 60 could've just put

52:05

this blue thing on and we could've just

52:07

could've just kept on moving,

52:10

man. But I

52:12

applaud I applaud the directions.

52:14

It's all very it's

52:16

all very laid out. There is this

52:18

satisfaction of the accomplishment when you're

52:21

done. Yep. You do it together with your

52:23

kids. A lot of fun when you're talking about

52:25

life and what's going on this and that.

52:27

Then we're done, and we have AAA

52:31

cool car. With stickers that we've

52:33

put on 60. And and

52:36

then then what

52:38

do we do? Where do

52:40

we do we put it somewhere? 60 he

52:43

can't do 60 you can't

52:45

do? You can't move that

52:46

car. You can't do the car. Gotcha. No

52:49

remote control either. Mhmm. We got those in the

52:51

basement seat, and then what Charlie will do is he'll

52:53

take the remote control car and he'll drive it into the LEGO

52:55

car and then the

52:57

LEGO car explodes and now we gotta put it back together, and

52:59

now we got 60. Because now we gotta

53:01

just eyeball it like we did back in

53:03

the seventies. 60 are in the garbage.

53:05

They're in new Harvey. Oh, my god, brother.

53:07

But I guess I guess the the answer is is what my

53:09

daughter's done is she's got these elaborate builds that

53:11

have been completed and it's just all over the

53:13

shelves 60 and

53:16

you just You just appreciate the art because they are. They're

53:18

artistic. Yeah. Alright.

53:20

There we go. That's that's that's

53:23

I need room. 60 need another wing for construction. Truly

53:26

do. And you need a different room for

53:28

construction because --

53:30

Oh, yeah.

53:31

If you if you end up with a bunch

53:33

of Legos on tables and you have boys,

53:35

then they start breaking 60 what

53:37

we got 60 we've got

53:39

get people that out there that

53:41

don't want their food to be 60 touch

53:44

each other. For me, I don't

53:45

care. That's why my thanksgiving plate. I've

53:47

always told you. First plate Potatoes

53:50

stuffing, corn Why you love Chipotle?

53:52

They're all in there. Boom. It's fine. We

53:54

can mix it all up. You know what that

53:56

work? Does not work for? Legos. Know.

53:59

Okay. Some people are weird. 60 shouldn't say weird. You're not weird. You like what

54:01

you like. Some people do not want stuff to

54:03

touch each other. Well, the

54:06

Legos from the the

54:08

horse trailer build cannot blend in

54:10

with the with the beach house build.

54:12

Because now I I

54:14

got tiny

54:16

little things that don't go

54:17

together. And then one

54:20

falls on the floor. It's I think it I

54:22

think it's but

54:24

it's struck to look because it it it teaches you patience 60

54:26

and it's more and that just means more

54:28

time with your kids. Mhmm.

54:31

We we did the bill with with my daughter and then my son

54:33

was like, it's absolutely

54:36

not. You're coming with me, pops, 60 building a

54:38

car. And

54:40

did So there was there was good solid five hours of LEGO building

54:42

on Monday? 60 came

54:44

in

54:44

and did a show. Try to entertain

54:46

America. Did you

54:47

step on any? 60 the

54:50

thing that everyone 60 Yeah. It's bringing

54:52

everything in the world. Everybody talks about because

54:54

and it's right. I mean, if you

54:55

do, it's there's a pain.

54:57

It's it's uncommon. To your 60, that's why you need a different room.

54:59

Right. We do a really good

55:02

job of eyeball on the floor and making

55:04

sure that that

55:06

doesn't happen. Okay. Because it only needs to happen once

55:08

where you get our corner in your

55:10

foot late at night when they're

55:11

asleep and then you wake them up and they they're

55:14

terrified because

55:16

you make and noise that is, you know

55:18

-- Mhmm. -- you make when you step on a

55:20

LEGO. No good. It only has to happen

55:22

once 60 people figure

55:24

it 60. So Okay.

55:26

Shout to the Legos folks. And

55:31

This is the part where it's the end and and I

55:33

don't know what to do. Bye.

55:35

Thanks for listening.
