Speaker 1 (00:02):
Is the best of two pros and a couple Joe
with Lamar arings and rating win and Jonas Knox on Radio.

Speaker 2 (00:13):
Boys.

Speaker 3 (00:15):
We just witnessed an ass whooping.

Speaker 2 (00:18):
Yeah, it sounds like this music right now.

Speaker 4 (00:20):
That was That's what the Philadelphia Eagles did to the
Kansasity Chiefs.

Speaker 5 (00:24):
Whoop that ass, that trick, get them that trick, you know.

Speaker 4 (00:33):
Let me say this, all right, congrats to the Philadelphia Eagles,
Jeffrey Lorie, Howie Roseman, Nick Sirianni, the Pison Passion, Jalen Hurts,
everyone else involved, obviously Saquon.

Speaker 2 (00:47):
If that game was gonna go that way.

Speaker 4 (00:50):
I don't know how you guys felt, but I kept
thinking about, like, all right, how's this game gonna go.
It felt like I was like, Oh, it's probably gonna
be a tight game one way or another, or if
there's a blowout, it's gonna Philly. Like I just I
don't I never felt like Kansas City was gonna be
able to blow them out, in part because the matchups
we talked about all last week, but also because they
really hadn't done that all year, Like they played so

(01:13):
many tight games throughout the course of the season. You
just kind of looked at the spread and you kind
of assume both teams are here, both teams are really good,
probably gonna be a tight game. But the way it went,
I kind of look back at it and go, yeah,
that's it. Probably had a better chance of that working
out that way because of the Eagles, because of the
mismatches up front, because of all the things we had

(01:36):
discussed last week.

Speaker 5 (01:38):
When I looked at the game coming into it, I
knew it was going to be a dilemma for Spagnolo
and what he was going to do schematically to stop
this offense. And I believe he chose the right He
made the right decision.

Speaker 3 (01:57):
Is just the dilemma game.

Speaker 5 (02:00):
If you fall back to play the pass and and
you allow run lanes, They're gonna gash you with the run.
They're going to eventually wear you out up front, and
they're going to get to the second level. Spaggs decided
that he was not going to allow Sakwon Barkley be

(02:20):
the reason why they won the game, thus forcing them
to have to cover. Now, looking at it from a
matchup standpoint, Davonte AJ you know about them, and they
ended up making big, you know, big catches timely catches
as well in one on one situations. But then you're

(02:41):
able to find your tight end in some key situations,
you're able to find docs and in some key situations.

Speaker 2 (02:49):
So so you thought it was about that side of it.

Speaker 4 (02:51):
I thought the defense for Philly was what I mean,
hertsonally through for like two hund and twenty yards. Yes,
I thought it was more about the other side.

Speaker 5 (02:58):
Yeah, I certainly was going to get to the defensive
side of it, but I just looked at it from
the standpoint of I started there. That was where I started.
They deferred, Casey deferred, and it just it was very
clear that Spags was going to stop the run and
that created a dilemma, which was you're going to have

(03:20):
to cover man and you're going to have to commit
more guys to the run and not to the pass
and play it more honest against the past. And it
didn't work. Jalen Hurts played played well while the yardage
wasn't high. I thought his efficiency was where it needed
to be. And as far as it, like you said,

(03:40):
as far as the defense is concerned, it was a
difference maker. And the difference making was the fact that
Fangio decided the opposite. I'm going to force y'all to run,
and I'm going to sit back in different looks, different
coverage schemes, and I'm going to force you guys to

(04:01):
establish the run. If you're going to win this game,
I'm going to try my best for you guys not
to win this game in the air.

Speaker 3 (04:10):
And they were.

Speaker 5 (04:11):
Able to get pressure with four guys the entire game.
They did not force Fangio to have to deviate from
the scheme that he came in. They did not really
try to establish the run. They did pretty well and
keeping Mahomes you know, and checked for the most part.

(04:31):
He was the leading rusher for the team. They were
going to force him to win on the ground and
they didn't do that. And whatever it is, the coverages were,
you know where. To me, I felt like they were
sitting in the center of the field and they were
waiting for Kelsey and they were waiting for the wide
throws and stuff like that. The short game that Kansas

(04:54):
City has played all year and has had success with,
they were there to defense it, and so to me,
I thought that was the title of the tape. One
team decided to play against the pass. The other team
decided to play against the run. The team that played
against the pass was able to win.

Speaker 6 (05:10):
The game, didn't It seem pretty obvious pretty quick. Philadelphia's
roster was significantly better, Like Kansas City's got Mahomes and
they've got good players, but you just saw it was
so apparent looking at the two, like Philly just had
more options to win by, which is leads to the
point of, Yeah, if there was going to be a blowout,

(05:31):
it was going to be the Philly side. It felt
like they had more that they could do as opposed
to Mahomes and Kansas City got to win it tight
and just hope Mahomes makes enough big plays and their
defense gets stopped.

Speaker 2 (05:42):
Yeah, I mean that was the thing too.

Speaker 4 (05:44):
I mean, like this, the Chiefs teams, it's no secret
they don't even try to really attempt to run the football.
They were twenty ninth this year in yards per attempt,
and so not only one are they not good at it,
they're you know, in the middle of the pack as
far as the attempts in general. So that the identity
this team has always been a kind of controlled passing game.
Put it in Patrick Mahomes's hands, let him go win it.

(06:05):
I mean, and their defense is stepped up and played
well enough at times which I would harken and say,
I really thought the defense, especially in the first half,
even though they're down twenty four to nothing, didn't play
well enough. I mean, to me, it had nothing to
do with Steve Spagnola in Kansas City's defense. It really
had everything to do with the fact that we always
talk about complimentary football. There was zero complimentary football played

(06:30):
from the Kansas City Chiefs offense.

Speaker 2 (06:32):
And I'll go step further.

Speaker 4 (06:33):
I think this is fair, even though you know people
will probably criticize me for saying this.

Speaker 2 (06:39):
I hated the Andy Reid game plan. I hated it.

Speaker 4 (06:43):
I thought at times like just their inability to even
attempt to want to run the football, their inability to
even attempt to want to try to find ways of
getting anyone into a rhythm, whether it's Patrick Mahomes Travis
Kelcey for that matter. I mean, he's one of your
best players that had a hard time getting him the football.
And then the reality is, look, Vic Fangio plays a
two high safety zone with some match coverages and a

(07:05):
little bit of man and so like if you if
you watch the Eagles, and you break down film, you'll
see they don't do a ton of stuff. It's a
lot of the disguise that happens really post snapped and
how they do it. But they essentially dare you to
want to try to matriculate the ball down the field.
It's or create some big plays, and they know that
they don't need to blitz because they can get home
with a four man rush. So that's exactly what happened

(07:27):
that on the six sacks, it wasn't one, not one
was brought off pressure. And I think they looked at
that offensive line that overachieved. You know, this is an
offensive line that had Joe Toney, who's a guard and
he's a tremendous guard that played left tackle. And for
all the people out there, as we're gonna transition and
we're gonna start talking about the combine, we're gonna talk
about the NFL draft, and we're gonna talk about the

(07:49):
measure rules, and there's there's people out there who'll go, well,
what is the murder how long as arm is Okay,
go back and watch the tape of Josh Sweat off
the edge. There's a reason why Sweat had like two
inches longer of a reach than Joe Toney who moved
inside because he's got shorter arms. Why does it matter?
Because when you put him out on an island and

(08:10):
he's got to go up against Josh Sweat, he gets
pushed back into the quarterback and it gets bumps and
it caused interception to Zach Bond or he can't get
his hands on him to control him it all, and
instead Josh Sweat ends up with a couple of sacks.
So when you talk about these small details that teams
look for in players and how they build their roster,

(08:31):
like Howie Roseman has done in Philadelphia, these are the
things that matter. They end up in the end in
the Super Bowl adding up to matter to make the
difference between winning and losing. So I just I kind
of look at it and go, you know, congrats to
really the entire Eagles organization and Jalen Hurts too, you know,
Nick Serianni and Jalen Hurts. I think in particular because people,

(08:54):
for whatever reason don't want to give Nick Sirianni his flowers.

Speaker 2 (08:58):
And I don't know if it's it's the way he.

Speaker 4 (08:59):
Talks or his antics, whatever it is, they don't want
to give him the benefit of the doubt.

Speaker 2 (09:04):
Jalen hurts.

Speaker 4 (09:05):
You know, we question because we don't always see the
big numbers and the big stats that come in the
passing game, which you know, for his style of play,
it doesn't always need to happen that way, and he
doesn't need to on a team that's incredibly talented and
had an Offensive Player of the Year and Saquon Barkley
and the best offensive line. He can just make the

(09:25):
right decisions and help this team go win a Super Bowl.
And I thought he did enough of that last night,
with exception of the one pick which he did get
pressured on even though it was a bad ball. You
know that it was a team that struck on every
opportunity given from that defense, the way their defense played,
and I just I still go back to like the
Howie Rose has been roster construction of this defense that

(09:47):
had eight new starters since the last time these two
teams met.

Speaker 2 (09:53):
And it's like he didn't overthink it.

Speaker 4 (09:55):
He basically said, all right, I watched Georgia win a
couple of national championships. I'm gonna draft an try to
sign all their best players, and that's that's an essence
what it was. And he was sprinkling some other guys too.
But you look at it and he just he doesn't
overthink it. He's not that general manager who came from
a small school and he's like, I'm going to find
that diamond in the rough guy that's gonna come in

(10:16):
and really make a big difference for our franchise. We're
gonna draft that guy played at a lower level. You
get a lot of guys who are like that a
general manager in the NFL, and I was just like, Yeah,
I'm not gonna overthink this. They went back to back
national championships. I'm gonna draft all those good defensive players.

Speaker 6 (10:31):
You want to hear a little pison passion, Little Nick
Sirianni given the credit where credit is due to the players.
This is a humble man following his first ever Super
Bowl win.

Speaker 7 (10:40):
I tell our coaches before every offseason, you want to
know what the secret to good coaching is, Yeah, come
on here, get good players. Yeah we got great freaking players.

Speaker 3 (10:50):
Man, we got great players.

Speaker 7 (10:51):
You can't be great without the greatness of others. And
this is the most ultimate team game there is. I've
said that probably fifty times to night. You can't be
great without the greatness of others, and it takes everybody in.

Speaker 3 (11:01):
This awesome game.

Speaker 6 (11:02):
What a start to his coaching career extension most likely coming.
He's got the final year of his deal in twenty
twenty five approaching, so he's probably in line for a
massive He was on.

Speaker 3 (11:15):
The hot seat, yeah coming into the season a year ago.
Was Man, I don't know.

Speaker 5 (11:19):
He's losing them. He's losing the locker room. He's losing them, Johnny,
He's losing them.

Speaker 6 (11:24):
He's one of the guys on Belichick Watch.

Speaker 3 (11:27):
He's one of the guys that you know feels him
creeping up.

Speaker 6 (11:30):
But man, that's just a hell of a start to
his career in Philadelphia.

Speaker 5 (11:34):
I think they're the he's allowed to be that fiery
wild card coach because he has a quarterback that is
totally internal. I mean, his emotions are on the inside.
I mean, it was nice to see him have a
moment with his father and had that emotional moment, But

(11:56):
for the most part, dude is like just super steady,
doesn't doesn't show real emotion, doesn't get you know, in
the in the moment of it where he's loud about
it or what would be seemingly passionate about it. It's
like it's like, yeah, yeah, the Q DO throws up.

(12:21):
I can't tell you doesn't look like war though, you know,
I don't know, a little different, a little different facial structure,
but kind of the same thing. I wish I could
say what I really wanted to say in that moment.

Speaker 2 (12:32):
What do you want to say?

Speaker 5 (12:33):
Well, you know, he's it's no, I ain't gonna do
what because it's a setup. It's a setup. I'm not
gonna do it.

Speaker 4 (12:44):
LeVar at one point, at one point in last night's game,
did you get concerned that there's a chance it was
gonna be Cooper Machine as a Super Bowl MVP?

Speaker 3 (12:53):
No, I'm not at all.

Speaker 5 (12:57):
You're gonna tell me this doesn't look like Jalen Hurts.
Check your check your phone. I was going to say something, really,
is that what he really does? WHOA thank you? That's
what I'm saying.

Speaker 3 (13:12):
Let me see, I didn't get it. I mean, I mean,
throw some EyeBlack on there, bro, you can't.

Speaker 2 (13:21):
Tell me that.

Speaker 3 (13:24):
His dad daddy.

Speaker 5 (13:28):
I just I just feel like, I just feel like
all light skinned dudes have the same look there. Yeah,
I said it work to get it said, I said it,
and there you go. It's like kind of like how
I feel about Notre Dame quarterbacks, Like they all got

(13:48):
this certain look to him, like.

Speaker 4 (13:50):
They speaking of Ian Book gets a super Bowl ring. Yeah, yeah,
hell that.

Speaker 3 (13:55):
Can it's a ring. Yeah maybe KP.

Speaker 6 (14:02):
John Dotson, Yeah.

Speaker 4 (14:05):
Man, touchdown, I'll say, well don't yeah right, yeah, that
first one. I was like, man, who had that on
the Bengo cards. Someone's gonna win big money on Johan
Totson be the first touchdown score in the Super Bowl.

Speaker 3 (14:18):
I mean, yeah, it was good to see you.

Speaker 6 (14:20):
It was good to see Jalen Hurts afterwards, you know,
having a celebratory cigar following the.

was going to be heads, son of a bitch, and
of course it was tails. Wow, I don't know why

(16:55):
I do it every year. I can't get that right, man.
It's a damn shame I don't. But yeah, so Ray
Ray's rested. She's got her blow up mattress. Now how
long will that stay blown up before you kind of
pop that? And what was the purpose of blowing up
a mattress.

Speaker 3 (17:12):
To begin with?

Speaker 10 (17:13):
Well, I don't like the car is not as comfortable
coming inside.

Speaker 11 (17:18):
I can put it in the dark studio.

Speaker 3 (17:20):
It was the purpose.

Speaker 10 (17:22):
Nap for two hours before my shift started tonight. Okay, yeah,
because you know us overnight people on the weekends, we
kind of go back to regular sleep schedules.

Speaker 3 (17:31):
That's true.

Speaker 11 (17:32):
So I woke up.

Speaker 10 (17:33):
At eight am yesterday, so if I tried to do
an all nighter today, it could be quite dangerous.

Speaker 2 (17:39):
That's true if it's a valid point.

Speaker 11 (17:42):
So a little nappy nap on my blow up mattress
with my squish mellow. It's a good day.

Speaker 2 (17:47):
You have a squish mellow.

Speaker 11 (17:48):
I have multiple squish mellows.

Speaker 2 (17:50):
What's the squish mellow? Choice?

Speaker 11 (17:52):
This one is a frog?

Speaker 2 (17:54):
Okay, my children have squish mellows.

Speaker 3 (17:57):
Interesting.

Speaker 11 (17:58):
I also have an alligator and an eggplant and a cupcake.

Speaker 3 (18:01):
What the hell is?

Speaker 6 (18:02):
Whoa an egg an egg plant? Squishmellow?

Speaker 3 (18:08):
I give you that one all the way. Pause.

Speaker 5 (18:11):
I could guess I got one. Guess I got one,
really really good guess. I know that I know who
it wasn't I wanted I know who it was.

Speaker 11 (18:20):
I want it at the fair.

Speaker 3 (18:22):
Okay, they probably share that one. Get on, LeVar.

Speaker 12 (18:27):
You guys ever like that cue like sex LaVar.

Speaker 11 (18:30):
And Jonas, have you touched one? Have you ever touched it?

Speaker 3 (18:33):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (18:33):
No?

Speaker 11 (18:35):
Oh no, they're so squishy.

Speaker 5 (18:38):
And even if I did, I wouldn't admit it. After
that conversation. Okay, alright, oh yeah, I know what those
things are. Let me see them.

Speaker 10 (18:51):
I almost got you all one for Christmas. And then
I was like, no, grown men don't want stuffed animals.

Speaker 3 (18:55):
Well they got it. They got a Saint Patty's Day one. No,
don't give me one.

Speaker 11 (18:58):
I'm a vampire one that looks us like you, Jonas.

Speaker 3 (19:00):
I'll screw you guys.

Speaker 2 (19:03):
Well, that's rude.

Speaker 3 (19:03):
What planet looked like.

Speaker 12 (19:12):
She's real fat.

Speaker 3 (19:14):
It's real fat. All right.

Speaker 13 (19:18):
Well, hey, we're off and running here hour two of
our post Super Bowl recap here from the tiraq dot
com studios, and we are just sort of looking back
on what a year it was for Saquon Barkley, who decided,
you know what, I'm no longer going to be sitting

(19:40):
in the midst of a diaper fire.

Speaker 6 (19:42):
I'm gonna go ahead. I'm gonna take my talents to Philadelphia.
And then he goes on to rush for over two
thousand yards and then gets himself a Super Bowl ring
at the end of this whole thing. And here he
was postgame talking about the year his arrival in Philly
and just what this means to the running back position.

Speaker 14 (20:00):
Six months ago, I couldn't stand this team, and you.

Speaker 3 (20:04):
Know how things work.

Speaker 14 (20:05):
I'm forever grateful for everything that went on in New
York and got nothing but love for those guys and
hopefully you know they're super proud.

Speaker 3 (20:11):
Of me and see me in this moment.

Speaker 14 (20:13):
But the opportunity came where I had to make the
decision for me and my family, and my family felt
like coming into Philadelphia, I'll be able to expand my legacy.
I'll be able to show the world a type of
player I am, and I'll be able to compete for
a championship. And it sounds crazy at the time you
believe in it, but when it actually come to life,
you know you're still shocking. I'm just happy of that
I'm able to say I'm a world champ. You're gonna

(20:33):
have some gms that believe you can go get a
back anywhere.

Speaker 3 (20:36):
You have some.

Speaker 14 (20:36):
Gms like how we I believe the back can be
the final piece. I just hate the narrative that only
with the running backs. We get too much credit to quarterbacks,
We get too much credit to wide receivers. It's a
team sport. Hopefully it's not that. I just show that
the position is back. Just change that whole narrative. If
you surround a great player with great players and put
them in a great environment, he's going to thrive and
it takes a team Jesus Trey.

Speaker 3 (20:58):
And now history of the sport.

Speaker 4 (21:00):
I just don't hear a lot of people actually just
say it like that right after, like right after the
Super Bowl.

Speaker 5 (21:04):
Think that they give you out all that attention. Honestly,
I watched how you got all that attention in New Orleans.
I just think it is whackint that quarterback to get
all of the attention. Like everybody be sweating to QBS.

Speaker 2 (21:17):
I think we're just nice people.

Speaker 5 (21:20):
I mean, that's not what it is. They just people
just are going to gravitate to the person that is
made to.

Speaker 2 (21:27):
Be more in person.

Speaker 3 (21:29):
A nice person.

Speaker 5 (21:30):
You are a nice person. I mean I will say
that you are. You are very nice person, and people
really enjoy your niceness.

Speaker 2 (21:39):
You know, we're just having a good time. I still
there's one moment that stands out from our super Bowl.

Speaker 5 (21:45):
Here we go and we all three shared his throat.
He's going to clear his throat out on you know.

Speaker 4 (21:50):
We all we all three shared in this moment. We
were all right there. I think we were all. I
know you and I were right there. I think Jonas
might have been. It could have been Liner. I'm not sure,
but we were talking about how we were taking care
of the bartenders, like make sure to you know, tip
them out and take care of them, right, And then
you and I were like right there next to each

(22:13):
other talking about it, really close, and I just remember thinking, like,
this is a moment. I'm never gonna forget. This was,
This is great. That was That night was fun. I
felt awful the next day. But Thursday, Thursday night was
the best night of the week by far.

Speaker 3 (22:31):
There was a lot going on.

Speaker 2 (22:37):
It was a huge choice. Was a liner.

Speaker 6 (22:40):
I don't believe it was me, but it must have
been lighter.

Speaker 2 (22:45):
Liner came up, didn't he?

Speaker 3 (22:46):
In the moment? Yes he did.

Speaker 2 (22:47):
Okay, I'm like, did I have this right?

Speaker 5 (22:49):
There were a lot of people coming up, you know
what I mean, There were a lot of them. There
was a lot of a lot of movement at that
that hotel. Lot. Yeah, I don't know what you're talking about.

Speaker 3 (23:04):
There was a lot.

Speaker 5 (23:05):
There was a whole lot of gossiping going on too
because of the intermingling and the mixing of all the
different outlets that were in that place. But back to
my original point, because I don't want this to get
lost and Q deflecting quarterbacks should not get all the attention.
You know, I was making the point on Saturday. It

(23:26):
just doesn't make any sense to me now that I
really took a deep dive on these awards. It just
doesn't make sense. Why is there never I won't say
never because there have been at times a few times,
but here and there, there should always be a defensive
player that is a finalist for the NFL MVP Award.

(23:52):
There should always be a defensive player present because whoever
is going to end up winning the defensive Most Valuable
Players year has to be considered the most valuable player
in some regards, in some aspect, because you have to
really be a really, really good football player to be
even up for that award, let alone win it. And

(24:13):
then the idea that a cornerback would win the award
he should have been up for MVP of the league.
A defender should always be on the finalist list. That
would be like you having a finalist list for the
MVP of the league and not having a quarterback on it.
It's preposterous to say that it should be the same

(24:35):
exact way for a defender.

Speaker 3 (24:37):
There should be a representative from each group.

Speaker 5 (24:39):
There should be a representative. There should be a specialist
on the MVP list. Who's your best specialists.

Speaker 3 (24:46):
In the league. They should be on.

Speaker 5 (24:48):
That list because you're talking about the most valuable player,
not the most valuable position, the most valuable player.

Speaker 3 (24:56):
And it made me wonder, like, when you.

Speaker 5 (24:59):
Look at the vote that took place, how the hell
do you justify the voting like.

Speaker 3 (25:05):
You won these these votes for MVP of the league?

Speaker 5 (25:09):
Yet when you look at the guys that are on
the finalist list, some of those guys aren't even on
the offensive finalist list.

Speaker 3 (25:16):
How does that work? They played offense.

Speaker 2 (25:18):
Because they're nice guys.

Speaker 3 (25:20):
There you go, There you go.

Speaker 5 (25:22):
That that ends I mean, that really ends it, because
at the end of the day, the quarterbacks are.

Speaker 3 (25:26):
The nice guys. It pays to be nice.

Speaker 5 (25:28):
Well, there you go, And that's why I'm glad I
got it. Going to knock the hell out of quarterback
hostile and they're not going to call you hostile because
you don't have a hostile look to you.

Speaker 2 (25:44):
Well, at that point we're just on the phone, so
it's like.

Speaker 5 (25:46):
Well, I don't know, which I think is interesting because
when y'all give y'all cadences and stuff like that, y'all
like that. You know, they tell y'all to put all
that you've never heard. It's hostile. That's that's very that's
very hostile, don't.

Speaker 3 (26:04):
You know what?

Speaker 5 (26:05):
But you know what, y'all get away with murders? What
y'all get away y'all get away with things. I don't
want to use murder because y'all have been associated with
those things.

Speaker 4 (26:14):
Well, and the problem is you can't say that as
a linebackers. If I turned a background on you, it's like, well.

Speaker 3 (26:19):
Maybe.

Speaker 2 (26:21):
There's a couple of situations.

Speaker 5 (26:27):
We're killers. We we are killers? Yeah literally, Jonas, Yeah,
let's move on from that.

Speaker 2 (26:38):
Jonas moving on.

Speaker 3 (26:40):
Let's move on from that.

Speaker 6 (26:41):
Let's move on to a story about also, can Saquon
Barkley just admit this as well too, like having that
offensive line helped your cause as well?

Speaker 4 (26:51):
Oh my god, that's just like they're so good man,
I mean, and it's oh here, hold on, I do
have to acknowledge this, and I know it's been like
for me Howie Roseman love fest.

Speaker 2 (27:03):
But I just want to point out one thing.

Speaker 4 (27:06):
Okay, Philly has eight guys playing on a contract that's
worth fifty million dollars or more in total, and six
guys making an average annual salary of twenty million or more.
So when you hear about your favorite team or your
team that you root for, you know doesn't have enough
money to pay, they're full of it. Okay, they're full

(27:29):
of it. It's just your owner doesn't want to pay.
That's how this works. So so don't get it twisted,
all right, Like when we talking about the offensive line
that all these day they've hit in the draft, they've developed, well,
they also spend money. And you could say, well, Jalen
Hurt's contract isn't the highest paid you know quarterback, Okay,
well neither's Patrick Mahomes.

Speaker 2 (27:50):
He's not getting paid more than any other quarterback in
the league this year.

Speaker 4 (27:54):
So every single time when you're like, why can't my
team win because your owner's cheap, kang Like, I'll just
I'll be honest, Like your owner's cheap. You know, we saw,
we saw Jeffrey Lorie and Howie Roseman and the Eagles
Brass Monday night, and I wanted to you know, I
was thinking, we're sitting out dinner at Demonica. Yeah, I
was like if I walked up and said to them

(28:17):
one thing, what would it be? And I honestly think
I would go over to Howie Roseman and like compliment
him on the job he's done, specifically, like say hello
to mister Lorie, but specifically Howie and the job. But
really those two have done to be able to construct
the roster for their fan base to be able to

(28:37):
get a winner.

Speaker 2 (28:39):
Because that's what this is.

Speaker 8 (28:40):
Like.

Speaker 4 (28:40):
Philly fans are passionate fans, they're critical, they're tough fans,
but they also have an owner and a general manager
who are willing to actually spend money. And this is
the end result. We've seen it before with other teams
where Stan Kronky did it with the Rams.

Speaker 2 (28:55):
Like you can.

Speaker 4 (28:56):
I'm not saying you can buy a Super Bowl because
you still have to go out and exte cute, you
still have to win the games, but you can put
together and construct a roster that gives you a shot
or a strong chance. Because if we're being real, there's
like eight, maybe nine, ten teams that actually have a
shot at winning a Super Bowl. The rest are just
out there playing. They just are, man, I'm just telling

(29:17):
you right now. And that's one example looking at the
roster they constructed in Philly. But there's only you know,
maybe eight or nine others that you could say are actually.

Speaker 2 (29:27):
In that category.

Speaker 5 (29:27):
And there's no signs, especially on the NFC side. I mean,
it looks as though, you know, Washington is going to
trend up and be very very competitive. I don't know
about Detroit. I find that to be a tad bit
of a question. I don't know about some of the
other teams. Minnesota, I don't know. I don't know what

(29:49):
they end up being. Was that a one year deal
or are they trending up? I know, I don't question Philadelphia,
and it brings me back. I think I brought this
up to you guys on you know, last week. I
don't know what day it was, but is Jalen Hurts
not being looked at hard enough as a guy that

(30:12):
is a franchise quarterback that's a difference maker for his team.
You know, how are we gonna view Jalen Hurts moving forward?
Because this very much could become the Jalen Hurts show.
It very much could become Jalen Hurts going to a
couple more Super Bowls. And sure he did not throw

(30:34):
for a ton of yards, but again he made big plays.
I mean he delivered the ball in situations. I mean, look,
we judge Garoppolo for missing missing a big pass in
a game where if he makes that pass, they most
likely win that game. The Niners most likely pull that

(30:55):
game out, and he missed it, and a lot of people,
Oh though I don't like to blame him for it,
a lot of people do. Oh well, that's why they
don't take Jimmy Garoppolos series. There were no throws in
that game last evening where you would sit there and say,
Jalen Hurts can't make the big throw.

Speaker 3 (31:11):
I know he can.

Speaker 2 (31:12):
I mean there are some off throws, like he definitely
missed some throws. Here's the other.

Speaker 4 (31:17):
Thing about that is it doesn't you can say both
these things like Patrick Mahomes has displayed he is the
best quarterback on the planet in the NFL, and then
there's a clear separation from him and everyone else. And
in saying that he had a bad game, last night,
and there was a lot of circumstances that caused that,
and Hurts I thought, did exactly what he needed to

(31:38):
do with what he was given, and credit to him,
credit to the coaching staff. I also felt like, you know,
when they had the one on one opportunities for the
most part, there's one go ball to the left hand
side that he missed poorly inside and obviously the interception too,
which you know, and that honestly, it was a bad
ball either way. Maybe if he follows through, maybe there's
a shot, but was kind of right there. But outside

(32:02):
of that, outside of those couple of throws, there really
weren't many you looked at and said, like, these are
bad balls. I just I don't know if you can
carry a team for the extent of a season. I
mean six different times this season, really seven if you
include the game he got hurt versus Washington where he
really didn't play in that game. But there's I mean

(32:25):
six or seven times he didn't even throw for two
hundred yards.

Speaker 2 (32:29):
So you know, when you.

Speaker 4 (32:30):
Ask the question, it's like, well, I think the hard
thing is I think when we look at guys like
Lamar Jackson, when we look at guys like Patrick Mahomes
or whoever else, Josh allenho's the MVP this year, or
Joe Burrow. Those guys are legitimately carrying their team. I
think you see that from time to time from Jalen Hurts,
but you don't see that consistently through the actual season.

(32:53):
And that's that's one of the differences that if you
want to throw him that category, you can't.

Speaker 2 (32:56):
He got a Super Bowl ring, No can take that off.

Speaker 5 (32:58):
I'm not throwing him in the most elite of elite quarterbacks.
But how far can I carry you?

Speaker 3 (33:06):
You know? I think I guess maybe looking at what.

Speaker 5 (33:09):
His total value is as a leader and what that
represents to that entire team, his presence on that entire team,
I guess I'm looking at it more and I don't
see him as a League MVP. I don't see him
as a League MVP candidate. I just think that maybe
it's a little understated that this guy is like literally

(33:30):
one of the main cogs of why that team is
able to be the type of team that they are.
And I almost feel like there's a chance that we
may see a lot of Jalen Hurts going very deep
and very far pause into the postseason. I don't think

(33:51):
there's any There's at least two more years because of
the way they've drafted and the way they've built this roster,
two more years where he has this pretty much the
roster that they want and how they've built it, especially
on the defensive side of the ball. So if I'm

(34:12):
looking at it from the offensive standpoint, I just want
to make sure I keep Smith, and I keep Brown
and say Kawan Barkley and keep my line together, which
it doesn't seem like that's going to be that hard,
that's that difficult. I just I think we're going to
see a run. There's a possibility we may see a

(34:33):
run where Jalen Hurts is making. I mean, he's already
in his second one and he's already outperformed Patrick Mahomes
for the second time in a Super Bowl. I'm just saying,
I know he's not Tier A. There's only one Tier A,
and that's Patrick Mahomes, I believe, all by himself. Then
there's Tier B. I put Burrow and Alan and Jackson

(34:56):
and those tiers, and then you know it's the rest
of them.

Speaker 2 (35:00):
Let me go through a list.

Speaker 4 (35:01):
By the way, when you talk about keeping all together
because some of it's money in the ability to spend money,
and maybe some of these guys will come back.

Speaker 2 (35:06):
But did you guys feel like Josh Sweat had a
had a big impact on the game.

Speaker 4 (35:11):
Yes, he's a restricted or unrestricted free agent, so they'd
have to look to sign him back. But I imagine after
that game he's gonna be looking at cashing in. Zach
Bond another guy who played well. He's a unrestricted free agent.
Brandon Graham's getting up there, so it kind of feel
like this'd probably be retirement for him. Makai Becton, starting guard,

(35:33):
kind of reclamation project. He he's an unrestricted free agent. Uh,
you can go on down the line. There's a lot
of guys, I mean, and look, this happens with every team.
I mean kind of Gainwell the running back for example,
I believe he's unrestricted free agent. But you know, when
you're looking at it, they'll figure it out because Howie.

Speaker 3 (35:50):
Roseman, they've done that.

Speaker 14 (35:52):
Man.

Speaker 5 (35:53):
They've always been like even when I was playing, you
just look at their rosters.

Speaker 3 (35:57):
They're always loaded.

Speaker 6 (35:59):
When they drafted Jalen Carter, it was like, of course
they ended up with Jalen Carter. Of course they did.
And it's like that guy's one of the better interior
defensive linemen in the league. And of course he fell
to Philly, of course, and they got Leonard what what
not in that Leonard Davis?

Speaker 5 (36:14):
What was the big big do with Jordan Dave? Jordan Davis.
Leonard Davis was a big Muther lover too, of course.

Speaker 1 (36:20):
The right.

Speaker 3 (36:23):
It's aggravating, man.

Speaker 6 (36:25):
They be loaded, man, And Jerry Jones is talking about
glory holes.

Speaker 3 (36:28):
And all in.

Speaker 2 (36:30):
You know what's sad too, is uh, pat Riley doesn't
get paid.

Speaker 5 (36:34):
Yeah, he was waiting for it, man, and now you
gotta wait another three years. Really in theory, which that's hard.
That's hard.

Speaker 2 (36:44):
Two or two if it's Philly, they have to win.

Speaker 3 (36:47):
Two if it's Philly.

Speaker 5 (36:48):
Yeah, and very well could be Philly next year, man,
I'm just saying, very well, could be.

Speaker 3 (36:53):
I know, it feels like it could be out of reach.
I don't know, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (36:57):
Be sure to catch live editions of two. Ro was
in a Cup of Joe with Brady Quinn, LeVar Errington,
and Jonas Knox weekdays at six am Eastern three am Pacific.

Speaker 5 (37:08):
Where the hell is the end of my show. By
the way, what do you.

Speaker 12 (37:13):
Print it on both sides?

Speaker 3 (37:14):
That's my fault. I understand that that way.

Speaker 4 (37:17):
Lee probably made sense after about eight beers or a
drinks last night.

Speaker 3 (37:20):
So yeah, I just don't show where, you know.

Speaker 4 (37:27):
Sorry, guess the drinks before the shots didn't count.

Speaker 3 (37:31):
Brady, You're like, we're bearing the lead here.

Speaker 6 (37:33):
Lee is a hell of a healer because his nose
looks better, his head looks better. It's like he it's
like he didn't actually face plant in the streets of
New Orleans like last Wednesday the power of aloe?

Speaker 4 (37:47):
Have we not looked at like any security cameras to
just find the footage of that.

Speaker 3 (37:52):
I was worried.

Speaker 2 (37:53):
I would love to see what that looked like.

Speaker 3 (37:57):
I don't know, I don't know.

Speaker 6 (38:00):
Yeah, if you care somewhere around there, Yeah, you know,
I just yet, that's wrong.

Speaker 3 (38:06):
You know.

Speaker 5 (38:06):
It's just sometimes you just get the reality of what
your realities are and every once in a while you
got to accept them for what they are. And that's
just kind of part I'm getting older, Lee, Lee.

Speaker 3 (38:18):
That's you know.

Speaker 5 (38:20):
I guess I get to leave at age twenty because
that's all I have. I don't you know, there is
no we.

Speaker 3 (38:26):
Got we got run there.

Speaker 5 (38:29):
You know, Holy moly, there we go, there we go.
All right, Lee's leftovers is right there?

Speaker 3 (38:39):
All right? What kind of bears are there?

Speaker 6 (38:42):
Bar?

Speaker 3 (38:45):
All right?

Speaker 12 (38:49):
Gotcha?

Speaker 11 (38:50):
All right?

Speaker 12 (38:50):
And uh yeah, the power the power of Alo.

Speaker 9 (38:53):
I got the big alo plant. I just take a
leaf off, cut it open.

Speaker 3 (38:58):
Put it on my face.

Speaker 8 (39:00):
It is that?

Speaker 3 (39:00):
Really what you do? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (39:01):
What did you just say?

Speaker 7 (39:02):
So?

Speaker 9 (39:02):
I do neo sporing on the on the cuts, of course,
to keep it cleaning, saying if they make the tequila
wit you know, he cuts it on his face, so
go figure.

Speaker 3 (39:11):
It just makes all the sense in the world. He
pours a saws off.

Speaker 5 (39:15):
Uh yeah, okay, yeah yeah.

Speaker 12 (39:19):
Now the same plant that's been in my front yard.

Speaker 3 (39:21):
For in your life forever.

Speaker 6 (39:23):
Huh yeah, all right, and you used to you take
the plant off, you cut it open, and you just
rub it on your skin.

Speaker 3 (39:29):
That is true, That is what you do.

Speaker 2 (39:31):
Actually, has this happened to you so many times?

Speaker 4 (39:34):
Lee that you have to have a protocol like this
in your back pocket using.

Speaker 9 (39:37):
It for sunburn? Yeah right, don't you use it. You
can't use it for summer. It does yeah, any kind
of burn or scrape. It'll work anti itch too. Oh yeah,
it's very or something, which is uh yeah, very helpful
because yeah it itches, but I don't want to touch it.

Speaker 5 (39:54):
Lee, How did you feel about Loraina being at Coop's house?

Speaker 3 (39:58):
For I was? I was did that make like? Did
you have feelings towards that?

Speaker 12 (40:02):
I was a little butt hurt?

Speaker 9 (40:03):
I felt I felt a certain way about it for
a second, but I'm over it.

Speaker 5 (40:06):
Tell us not but tell us what you felt in
the moment. Was it jealousy? Was it anger?

Speaker 9 (40:11):
Like a little fomo like I missed out like hanging
out with them because I really didn't have much going
on until about an hour before the game and you realized.

Speaker 5 (40:19):
That Lorena was going to hang out with Coop at
his house.

Speaker 9 (40:22):
They were like, oh, we thought about hitting you up
and they didn't, so.

Speaker 5 (40:25):
So they didn't invite you. You found out about it
when that I.

Speaker 10 (40:29):
Thought about okay on Coop said don't. On the last
show of last week, he said he didn't know what
he was doing yet, but I assumed he'd be with Demonica.

Speaker 3 (40:40):
What is it?

Speaker 2 (40:41):
Gosh?

Speaker 1 (40:42):
What?

Speaker 2 (40:42):
Oh my restaurant. We went to the restaurant.

Speaker 3 (40:47):
We went enough.

Speaker 5 (40:49):
You can't you know, Kendrick Lamar, he's going to get suits.
I'm just saying that.

Speaker 3 (40:55):
Dang. I was about to call herding the name, all right,
not just be careful. Hey, what do you call her
demon for short? Dang? God dang?

Speaker 10 (41:07):
Anyways, So yeah, I didn't text him because I was like, no,
he doesn't he doesn't need to come to our super Bowl.

Speaker 5 (41:13):
Parent, did you feel like he would ruin the super
Bowl party or did you time? Oh?

Speaker 12 (41:19):
Wow, and I don't.

Speaker 11 (41:20):
I just we don't need.

Speaker 5 (41:21):
That, Lee, How does that make you feel that you would?
You're being deemed a problem and the issue because it's
by association.

Speaker 12 (41:30):
That doesn't bother me because I'm not wrong.

Speaker 3 (41:33):
No, No, it's fine, but I was.

Speaker 12 (41:35):
You know, I would have liked hanging out with them.

Speaker 3 (41:37):
I had a great time with my buddies.

Speaker 12 (41:38):
Then, and I should have I should have done the same.
I should have reached out to both Cooper and Lareda
and invited them.

Speaker 6 (41:44):
To my super Bowl viewing. You need less distraction. It does.

Speaker 5 (41:48):
It does bug me, and you were live texting the
whole entire time.

Speaker 9 (41:53):
I sent like three texts to kind of like rub
it in her face that she was losing so bad.

Speaker 10 (41:58):
But and also if you came to hang out with me,
then you would have had to lie to her, And
so you weren't hanging out with me, and we cannot
have you lying.

Speaker 2 (42:05):
Yeah, Lee, is that true? Monica, she's doubling down.

Speaker 3 (42:08):
So yeah, he did. I don't lie. It's fine.

Speaker 5 (42:11):
So I would have been if you don't lie, so
it would have been fine. So you would have said
you were at Coop's house. Yeah, and that's it. You
would say, I'm at Coop's house watching the super Bowl
with cup of friends.

Speaker 9 (42:21):
Him on the details, Yeah, sometimes I skim them details,
but yeah, I would have just right there, you go, all right?

Speaker 4 (42:27):
So there, Hey, can we get some of the low
hanging fruit out of the way. We've we've obviously broken
down the Super Bowl in many ways. At this point,
I do want to ask about officiating. That was a
big storyline going into the game. There was two awful
calls to start, and then I felt like there's another one, like, well,
I know you didn't like the was that Nick Bolton

(42:48):
is that it was for the personal foul?

Speaker 2 (42:51):
I think you didn't like it. I can see why
they did it. I don't know that one the.

Speaker 4 (42:55):
Field goal, Like there was a couple others that was
kind of like, all right, whatever, But the first two
were as bad of a start as you could have
made for a Super Bowl. And this is being obviously
a crew that's being awarded the opportunity to do this.
But outside of that, it actually wasn't that badly efficient.

Speaker 2 (43:15):
And I thought it was that bad. Yeah, it was
like they kind of stayed out of it.

Speaker 3 (43:18):
Am I crazy?

Speaker 6 (43:19):
Because I know that the call on AJ Brown felt
pivotal because that was a third down they threw the ball,
or that was a fourth down. Rather they threw the ball,
got that big completion, it comes back for an offensive
PI and I thought, initially it's a terrible call, and
I think we were texting about it. The pushing away
of the face mask. Face mask, Yeah that felt After

(43:43):
watching it, I thought, okay, well I get it, like
it wasn't as agree just as I initially right.

Speaker 4 (43:48):
It was again same thing, like it wasn't a two
hundred push off, which is typical that you see to
create separation. And you heard Prayer talk about it. I
mean he called the NFL office. And so the explanation
for the NFL was that it wasn't your typical hand
fighting that because he was pushing off the defender to
his face mask.

Speaker 2 (44:06):
That's why the call was made.

Speaker 4 (44:07):
And I think when you looked back and saw how
Trent McDuffie was impacted by it, you could kind of
understand them making that call. So another one that I understood.
It didn't look great in real time. That stuff happens
about the course of a game and oftentimes, you know,
players get away with it. So again, didn't love it,
but I understood the rational after the fact. It was

(44:28):
the same thing with the field goal, Like it didn't
look like anyone from Kansas City once they showed that
over the top view, and again Pereira, you know, said this,
He's like, look, the defender never got in the neutral zone.
So there was a snap infraction on top of the
fact that it looked like someone from Philly actually jumped
as well when the Kansas City player moved. So another
one that ultimately didn't matter. Elliott made the kick anyway.

(44:51):
But again one that people kind of found controversial that
really wasn't that bad.

Speaker 5 (44:56):
Yeah, I mean, I don't know, confused on on the
personal foul or unnecessary roughness, like yet so when it
took place after.

Speaker 3 (45:10):
The interception, little makeup call there maybe well.

Speaker 5 (45:13):
Well I was curious, like, should not have taken away
the interception and been an automatic first down?

Speaker 3 (45:22):
That wasn't a that was.

Speaker 5 (45:24):
Not a post post plate like, it wasn't a dead
ball foul? Did they make it a dead ball foul
like that? That had me a tad bit confused, Like
they picked the ball off that the guy hits, hits
Patrick Mahomes in the face.

Speaker 3 (45:43):
Oh you mean that was a strip sack? That the
strip strip strip sack. Yeah, I wanted the same thing.
I don't understand how.

Speaker 4 (45:52):
I feel like at that point, Yeah, because he had
already lost possession of it at that point then then
it so it's not could impact then the recovery of it.
It will only impact the end result of the play.

Speaker 6 (46:04):
That's why you remember the call a couple of years
ago that was that still confused me a little bit. Still,
one of the worst calls I've ever seen is when
Chris Jones stripped Derek Carr and got called for roughing
the passer while he was stripping the ball, Like like this,
so you've got that last night to where had he
not lost the ball. They you know, probably would have

(46:26):
called a blow to the head because he did get
hit in the head.

Speaker 3 (46:29):
I mean that, you know, they got a really good
lick on it.

Speaker 5 (46:31):
I was so happy for all defenders in the world
of football they got such a good hit on Patrick
Mahomes at the end of that game. I mean, just
the way they like. You don't see pops anymore. You
just see tackling, you know, and the men they throw flags,
you know.

Speaker 4 (46:48):
Can I fire off a couple of I guess tweets
if we still called him that on X that I
thought were somewhat entertaining. Yeah, never realized how much the
Chiefs depended on the funding from us A.

Speaker 2 (47:02):
I D there's that. That's been a topical one.

Speaker 4 (47:07):
Serena Krip walked for four seconds and gained more yards
than the Chiefs in the entire first half.

Speaker 3 (47:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (47:15):
No, she was like talking about it on on social
media afterwards, so that was for sure her but also
not inaccurate. She was definitely moving further ahead than the Chiefs.

Speaker 2 (47:24):
Did in that one.

Speaker 4 (47:27):
Someone had tweeted out, this is more probably towards Jonas here.
But if you ever wondered what Patrick Mahomes being drafted
by the Bears would look like this is it.

Speaker 5 (47:35):
That was probably my favorite of the ones that I
may come through.

Speaker 3 (47:41):
You know that that is the reality.

Speaker 4 (47:44):
And one last one and this one is an Alzheimer
all right, Uh, this is so bad. Thousands of little
white boys will remember Cooper de Sheets picked six in
the Super Bowl for the rest.

Speaker 2 (47:55):
Of their lives.

Speaker 4 (47:56):
Seeing somebody who looks like you play the position they
said you never could means everything.

Speaker 5 (48:03):
Yeah, I mean I'm not white, so I can't relate,
but I will say.

Speaker 4 (48:09):
This is our Jackie Robinson moment. I'm like serious.

Speaker 5 (48:13):
I thought that was a cute moment for all little
white boys out there that that you know, aspire and
dream of being small step for man white mankind. There's
hope that you could play something other than quarterbacks.

Speaker 6 (48:28):
We get around the Flaws for just a huge night
for U for white people.

Speaker 3 (48:33):
You know, that was that was really sick.

Speaker 4 (48:37):
All I know is when Zach Bond picked that one
ball off Jonas Window immediately celebrating.

Speaker 3 (48:42):
I was like, no, no, no, not fast, but put
it back in the holster.

Speaker 2 (48:47):
So you did go to Wisconsin. But you know, I'm
just saying.

Speaker 3 (48:50):
So fast, my yeah, that was that was real close.

Speaker 5 (48:55):
We should but as you as you well know, when
it's it's it's on our side of it, you know,
you don't don't go to opposite direct you know, don't
go oh, it's very close. Yeah, we're going to claim
him as a fully Caucasian Like I don't do that,
all right, doesn't happen?

Speaker 2 (49:12):
One last order of business to clear things up.

Speaker 3 (49:14):
That's god.

Speaker 2 (49:15):
This actually went viral.

Speaker 4 (49:17):
A lot of people were irritated by this, and this
is typical with with most networks. They roll out what's
going to be a new graphics package or something else.
So for people who are listening don't know what this
is called, it's called a score bug. It's basically the
thing that sits on the bottom of the screen that
gives you the down distance. The score shows the logos

(49:37):
of teams, et cetera. Fox rolled out their new score
bug in obviously the Super Bowl, and there was a
lot of people who did not like the minimalistic, very
simple approach.

Speaker 3 (49:51):
I loved it.

Speaker 4 (49:52):
So that's the thing is from from the other graphics
that I've seen from Fox this year, obviously working for
Fox and doing it, I actually like didn't thought it
was an improvement because it was more minimal. But I
can understand why there's a lot of people who are
making jokes about the simplicity of it. So I didn't
have an issue with it. I thought it was an improvement.
It's not my favorite. But at the same time that

(50:15):
seemed to really upset people, Like I didn't know that
many people cared about how that score bug looks on
the bottom of the screen.

Speaker 6 (50:22):
I don't need all the bells and whistles and a
big long banner across or to have it moved from
different portions.

Speaker 3 (50:29):
They threw it up there. It was simple. I know
who Casey is, I know who Phi is.

Speaker 6 (50:36):
Like, I don't need everything else to go along with it,
and for anybody else it does like dude, go through
everything else like they need like, oh, it's colors more,
it's got to have this more details added on to
it. It's like, you don't need all that, And if you
do need all that, then you probably shouldn't be watching football,
Like go watch something else, you know, go get a

(50:57):
you know, like go throw a party for your kids,
go to a ounce house and and you know, throw
on the iPad and put on some goofy show on Nickelodeon,
like go watch that broadcast, simple to the point, old
school football.

Speaker 3 (51:11):
And an ass whooping. By the way.

Speaker 6 (51:13):
DeAndre Hopkins speaking of the officiating, uh, he did call
out people who were complaining about the Chiefs going into
the game and had this to say, you.

Speaker 14 (51:23):
Know, I saw a lot of things in the media
about the relfs, But obviously, what y'all, what y'all gonna
say now about the reels and us when there was
a lot of touchy calls.

Speaker 3 (51:32):
Are y'all gonna report that?

Speaker 2 (51:33):
Are y'all gonna talk about the reels now?

Speaker 3 (51:36):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (51:36):
Bar that surely didn't make the difference in that game.

Speaker 5 (51:39):
No, not at all there, and we're being honest. They
got away with some blatant assholes in that game, like
blaytant Kelsey got away with one. There were a couple
of linemen that clearly like the way they were holding him.
The guy was trying to get away and they held
him long enough for Patrick Mahomes to get through the

(52:01):
center of the line.

Speaker 3 (52:02):
They should have been called.

Speaker 5 (52:04):
There were there were a lot of calls that that
could have gone either way. I thought, we and we
talked about it. You know, Q you gave your you know,
your your opinion on it. I didn't. I was not
offended by the way they called the game. I thought
that when when I saw a BS call, I texted, y'all.

(52:26):
You know, But for for what it's worth, I thought
it was a pretty evenly called game. I didn't think
that there felt like outside of that first one against Brown,
I didn't think that there was like, okay, like that
feels like an agenda. You you sabotaged their draft or
their drive, Like, who knows how bad it gets if

(52:48):
they don't call that back, Like it could have got
bad quicker if they don't call that back, because that's
the first drive. Correct, that was on third down? Right,
fourth down? Fourth down? No, fourth down?

Speaker 3 (53:00):
Yeah, I think it was because they had the pope.

Speaker 5 (53:02):
Well right, so it took it to fourth down. They
they took the penalty. Then it goes to right and
it stay fourth down, stage fourth down. Okay, there you go,
all right? Yeah, I just I don't know. I don't
I don't think that, you know, I get where he's
coming from, because he's probably hurt from the results of
the game, and you know, it's probably was his best

(53:22):
opportunity to get a Super Bowl ring and that might
not happen for him now, So I get it. But
by no means was this the type of game where
you'd sit there and you'd say, all right, you know, no,
you didn't get the calls, but you shouldn't be talking about, well,
talk about how they didn't call this or call that. Like, no,
they called a pretty even game. So the fact that

(53:45):
you guys didn't get the benefit of the referees giving
you guys more calls was.

Speaker 3 (53:51):
Like you shouldn't. You know, good, you know that should
be normal.

Speaker 2 (53:56):
Can I give you guys?

Speaker 4 (53:57):
The moment in which I was like, oh, this is
like officially over, like this game is done done. It
was the DeAndre Hopkins drop when he was wide ass open.

Speaker 3 (54:09):
That's the weirdest drop I've ever seen.

Speaker 4 (54:11):
Well, let me just put perspective for you, Okay. It
his entire NFL career, which I think he's played now,
is twelve years. He's had thirty five drops in his career.
All right, He's only had nine since twenty twenty, So
think about that. That's how rare that occurrence was. As
soon as I saw him drop that pass, I'm like,

(54:33):
all right, this is it's a wrap. Just let this
and this thing now, because like Mahomes obviously wasn't playing well,
the offensive line was struggling.

Speaker 3 (54:41):
Again.

Speaker 4 (54:42):
It was a terrible offensive game plan in my opinion.
But give credit to Philly that too. But in that instance,
when you get a player like that who's wide ass
open and a guy who almost very rarely throughout his
career has dropped the balls, known as one of the
better players in his career as far as making especially
contested catches, when that's not going right for you, it's over.

(55:05):
It's just it wasn't your night. It wasn't your night.
I mean, that's the bottom line. But that was that
was the moment where I was like, okay, we can
just we can move on here.

Speaker 3 (55:14):
By the way, LaVar love seeing Mahomes take a beating,
Like no, I love seeing a quarterback take a beating. Damn.

Speaker 5 (55:20):
Like when you get that big, big hit like they
did on that Like what an emphatic fashion of ending
the game. It's just being able to get a hold
of the quarterback. The quarterback still like trying to like
make it happen and what like dang, that's that'd be.

(55:42):
That's the NFL. I grew up watching I've watched Greg Lloyd,
watched Kevin Green, you know, I watch them guys like
you know, got back when they really hit people.

Speaker 3 (55:52):
They're nice people though, I get it.

Speaker 5 (55:55):
I just I mean, the people hit no more nice
people too, But it can't say it can be. Yeah,
I will never forget how people reacted to Brady Quinn
in New Orleans. It will be something that's burnt into
my memory forever.

Speaker 3 (56:11):
And now I will.

Speaker 4 (56:12):
Never forget the great service we all got from that bar.
Because we did not go anywhere outside of like one
or two instances we lived at that hotel. Hotel it
was almost like we're quarantining with the exception of the
bar area, which I'm telling you, man, we got the
best treatment you could ask for.

Speaker 5 (56:32):
I got in particular, well you did when I was
with you.

Speaker 3 (56:37):
I mean that was just.

Speaker 5 (56:40):
Never speak to me, we're speaking to wasn't with you
that much. But the one time that you were it
was a good chicken sandwich. It was you know what
the cheese put on it too. The first time I
had it, it was really good. The second time I
ordered room service not as good. I agree, I agree,
I did the same thing. I fell victim to that

(57:02):
same thing that you just said.

Speaker 3 (57:05):
I agree.

Speaker 5 (57:06):
I don't know, man, you know, but I will say this.
The steak and the eggs.

Speaker 12 (57:11):
Oh yeah, I was gonna ask you was that better
the steak and eggs?

Speaker 3 (57:14):
Oh my gosh.

Speaker 12 (57:15):
And took it off the menu, and they still gave
it to you.

Speaker 3 (57:18):
Man, Let me tell you that they did. It was
not on the menu.

Speaker 2 (57:22):
Yeah they did.

Speaker 5 (57:23):
They gave it to me. They gave me that steak
and eggs over easy. Yeah, they did easy, super easy. Yeah,
real dipped up to touch.

Speaker 3 (57:34):
It and it just go all over the place, you know.

Speaker 5 (57:38):
Yeah, that's almost harder control that yop, just go all
over the place, you know what I mean. You got
to know how to hit it. The egg Yeah, over easy.

Speaker 4 (57:52):
And you kind of stayed in one position. It's kind
of one spot the whole time down there, right.

Speaker 3 (57:55):
That's right.

Speaker 5 (57:56):
Yeah, Yeah, that's why I had my spot. I had
my spot out. They was holding it for me at
one point.

Speaker 6 (58:03):
Strategically, ask question, when you got there Thursday for the
sales luncheon that we had.

Speaker 3 (58:11):
It started at noon local time. What time did you arrive?

Speaker 5 (58:15):
Well, I was already there in a space at the
bar that was kind of, you know, hidden. So I
was already I had already had a drink.

Speaker 3 (58:26):
And I had there what like eleven probably.

Speaker 5 (58:30):
Because I was doing interviews. So I got I got
there by eleven thirty and had got one drink and
one drink of water. I got water and one one
tequila mule. And you never left there. I never left
the rest of the day.

Speaker 3 (58:45):
I'm telling you, I think you put twelve hours in that.
I never left the rest of the time. It's incredible.
