Speaker 2 (00:47):
My brother.

Speaker 4 (00:48):
So this is gonna be my my flu game. Brother,
Like I was on the flight yesterday.

Speaker 2 (00:52):
Coming oh you got it, starting to.

Speaker 4 (00:54):
Feel that that gun coming in didn't sleep. I got
a little bucket next to me. So if I just
appear I'm yacking and then I'm coming right back in.
We're to get through this four hours because I gotta
hang out with my brother and talk about this Super Bowl.
I am so excited for you because of your love
for Philadelphia. I'm so excited for what this game could offer.
And You're right, I'm coming off of a week in
New Orleans that I think even being there, man, Like,

(01:15):
I'm gonna be honest, the hype for this game is
not at the same level. But I think that's interesting
because both of these teams seem very balanced right now.
Like spending a little bit of time around them and
listening to them talk, it's interesting. Nobody seems fired up,
nobody seems like adrenaline. I talked to Gerald McCoy for
a while on one of our Yahoo shows, and he

(01:37):
talked about the hardest thing on games like this is
you know your your family's blowing you up, and everybody
wants tickets to this and that, and you're trying to
implement your game plan and you're studying and everybody's bothering you,
and all these things that happened the first time you
play it something like this. I think both these teams
have really insulated themselves. I mean, it is pretty I've
never seen a Super Bowl environment as business like as

(01:58):
New Orleans felt this week, and that's weird.

Speaker 2 (02:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:02):
And you know, I'll tell you from the Eagles perspective
and from both teams, because I know they both coaches
roll well and both organizations roll well. The for the
Eagles look at You know, they were there two years
ago and they lost to this Chiefs team. All year
long and in the playoffs, they did not celebrate. This

(02:25):
was not a This is not a team that celebrated
little milestones, Like they didn't celebrate the division. They didn't
celebrate the after the first divisional round, the wildcard round,
the championship, even after they beat the Washington to get
to the super Bowl. It was a muted celebration. Business

(02:47):
like is exactly how I would have described it. And
it's a team that knows, like all right, like now
we're got to win it. We're buzzing around, uh the
you know, Nick Sirianty, he's in the playoffs his first year,
he's in the super Bowl.

Speaker 2 (03:03):
Second year. He's ten and.

Speaker 3 (03:04):
One last year before falling out and losing the first
round of the playoffs. And now they're back. And that's
I think their mission is. They know they're good. They're
the better team, I think. And I'm curious to see
what you think you talked to I know you did
sixteen interviews yesterday at the media Center alone, and I'm

(03:27):
curious to see what you gleaned. But clearly I know
and I think that they're the Eagles are the better team.
They're not the season team. The Chiefs have the better
quarterback and the better coaching staff, but I think the
Eagles are are better elsewhere.

Speaker 2 (03:47):
To a man, no, I agree with that.

Speaker 4 (03:49):
And what's interesting is I talked to I think three
different people that pointed out, if you watched the Chiefs
at the podium for media Nite, they seem so annoyed.
It just seemed annoyed to be there at this point.
They've done it so many times. And a fair comp
that was made multiple times was that undefeated New England
team that at that point had been so many places
and had such high expectations, and they actually came out

(04:10):
flat in that game. And so one of the concerns
I heard a couple of people say is are the
Chiefs just so over this process that they won't get
that little adrenaline kick at the beginning of the game
and they're gonna come out a little bit flat because
they just seem annoyed buy everything. I think that's an
interesting spot here, because look, I agree with you, and
most people are picking the Chiefs to win this game,

(04:32):
at least in my world. But the reason most people
are picking the Chiefs to win this game is just
quite simply that Mahomes is that good if you actually
sit down. And this is something Gerald McCoy and Nate
ticsted with me yesterday. We did a podcast where they
went deep dive into film and they went deep dive
into defensive line play and it was really brilliant. And
the funny thing is when you hear them talk, there

(04:55):
are so many advantages not only just talent wise, but
scheme wise, on that defensive line for Philadelphia. It should
be a disruptor, right Like Jeff Saturday said the same
thing to me, It should be like that defensive line
for Philly should control.

Speaker 5 (05:08):
This whole game.

Speaker 4 (05:09):
But I think everybody, if we're being real, it's just
afraid to pick against the Chiefs because all they do
is win, win, win, no matter what.

Speaker 3 (05:15):
Yeah, I think that's exactly it. And quite frankly, and
this is not a Homer pick because I don't view
it that way, but I think the Eagles went by margin.
I mean, you know, I don't think it's going to
be a blowout, but I could see a late touchdown
to kind of push it to double digits. So where

(05:37):
the Eagles win by you know, eleven something like that,
maybe a Barkley long run to kind of seal it.
I think that's kind of where how this game is
going to go, because I mean, quite frankly, every year,
every week, people have been going, well, the Eagles are
gonna get tested, the Eagles are gonna get tested, and
they're the best team in football. And they routed Washington

(06:03):
like you just can't slough over that. The fact that
they routed Washington in the championship game. I mean, it
was a blowout. Green Bay wasn't close. Rams was close.
It was in the snowstorm, but the Rams game was close.
They were winning the game. And all season long, they

(06:24):
really haven't been tested a lot. I mean, you know,
I mean they've won. They haven't been down two scores
in the fourth quarter from Week four on. I mean,
think about that for a second. I mean, they just
don't lose. And they don't lose because you mentioned their

(06:44):
D line and they're on line and it's the best
front and football and that's how you win in the NFL.
You win in that sport, you win up front, and
that Eagles D line is a huge advantage, huge advantage.
We know how the Chiefs would have had to happen right.
They kicked Joe Tuning out to tackle to kind of

(07:07):
to solidify the edges, but it did weaken them. Having
Caliendo at at guard is a weak spot and the
Eagles strength is is I think Jaylen Carter, who is
just unblockable. Now we'll see if the if Fangio moves

(07:29):
him over Caliendo, He's usually over right guard, not over
left guard. Kaliendo is left guard, but he could either
move him or just play it straight because he can
he can get past Smith is good.

Speaker 2 (07:42):
But Carter's elite.

Speaker 3 (07:45):
So uh, it's I think that interior part of the
of the line is where the game is going to
be one for the Eagles.

Speaker 4 (07:54):
There was one thing that was pointed out to me again,
I'll reference Jerald McCoy a couple other defensive linemen that
I think, I'll make everybody the smartest person at your
super Bowl party because they made me smart. If you
go back and watch that Washington game, part of what
we don't always realize is that there are plays drawn
for defensive linemen. So you know, as was pointed out
to me, we see it and we just think, Okay,

(08:15):
this defensive lineman is going there trying to kill a quarterback.

Speaker 5 (08:17):
Well, it's not that simple.

Speaker 4 (08:18):
And one thing that McCoy pointed out is that the
Eagles against Washington did a really good job of intentionally
over pursuing behind Jayden Daniels to force him to step up.
They wanted him to step up and run because they
knew that Zach Bond could get to him. So you're
running into fast guys basically. And one of the things
that was pointed out to me is that early in

(08:39):
this game, when we see Mahomes take off, Mahomes is
going to have to understand that sometimes when he's getting
those running lanes, it's actually intentional to try and trap
him into a mistake. And I thought that was kind
of smart analysis of what happens and the dominance that
could be there for the defensive line of Philadelphia. And
it frustrates me to no end that people keep telling me, well,

(09:00):
Spags isn't gonna let Saquon run on them, like there's
a choice. I just nobody your camera, every single person,
And I said, okay, why and how that's my follow
up question? Or if you're gonna tell me that Spags
won't let it happen. The question is why and how
and to be a nerd for a second, And the
answer I got was gap discipline, not trying to make

(09:23):
the play, just trying to hold your gaps. Like the
Eagles or the Chiefs are gonna have to be very,
very disciplined defensively about staying right where they are and
not trying to make the play that they think is
there because Saquon will make that a mistake.

Speaker 5 (09:35):
But that's like.

Speaker 4 (09:37):
Easier said than done in every possible way. So I
just I sit here and I hear everybody say Spags
is one of the best and he won't let Saquon
run on them. I just I don't think that's an option.
So the hardest part about this game for me is
the only way Philly can win statistically in my mind,
is if they win by two scores. We've talked about
it in nauseum. You don't beat you don't beat the
Chiefs in a one score game. I think they could

(09:58):
win by two scores. I think that's there for them.
So your point that like a late touchdown makes it
an eleven point game. That's the only way you beat
Kansas City. You can't be up six. Can't be up six,
you'll lose. But if you if you're up and you
get that late touchdown, now you're up eleven. Statistically, that's
how you beat the Chiefs. And that I could totally
see that happening.

Speaker 2 (10:17):
Yeah, yeah, I listen.

Speaker 3 (10:19):
I love Steve Spags's you know, dear friend and a brilliant,
brilliant coach. But you know again, Dean, he goes offensive
line is the best in football, Buffalo.

Speaker 4 (10:32):
They didn't even take a step back. They lost one
of the best of all time and they didn't even
take a step back.

Speaker 1 (10:37):
I mean, how in the hell does that? Like we
talk all the time.

Speaker 3 (10:40):
About I got two I got one name for Jeff Staltlin.
Jeff Staltlin is the greatest o line coach in the
history of football. And it's not Hyperboley. This this guy
is unbelievable. He's the one who found Jordan Malatta and

(11:00):
urged how we draft him and Jordan mailatas Eagles left
tackle who is very good, who was a rugby players
from Australia. He's a rugby player and Staltland. That's why
when he gets introduced, he says, Staltlin, you and he
just is a massive human being and he has learned

(11:22):
how to play. It's a great athlete. Again, he was
a rugby player, professional rugby player and a great athlete.
And Staltlin has made him into a dominant left tackle.
And then the other thing, Howie Roseman went and signed
Mackay Beckton. If you remember Beckten, a first round pick

(11:42):
from the Jets, play tackle, was hurt a lot, never
really lived.

Speaker 2 (11:49):
Up to what he is billing was. He's massive.

Speaker 3 (11:54):
So the idea that you would have a massive right
guard is next to the best right tackle in football.
And Lane Johnson, who's been doing it forever, that right
side is amazing.

Speaker 2 (12:10):
You mentioned, you know, losing Kelsey.

Speaker 3 (12:13):
And the big thing is Cam Jurgens, who has been
who's come in and just been incredible.

Speaker 2 (12:21):
He's just been incredible.

Speaker 3 (12:23):
The Howie devoted a lot of draft capital landon Dickerson
at left guard. He's also the backup center, Cam Jurgens
the center.

Speaker 2 (12:33):
I mean, it's an elite, elite front.

Speaker 4 (12:36):
Well, and how often do we talk about teams that
are able to go from quarterback to quarterback to quarterback
and the sustain greatness that happens from them. If you
are able to go offensive line to offensive line to
offensive line, you are always going to have a shot.
And I keep saying that. You've said it several times,
We've echoed it on the show that Howie Roseman is
a superstar. And I said to on one of my

(12:58):
shows yesterday, I think the Eagles will always have a
chance at the super Bowl because they simply have one
of the best gms in football. And it's just sometimes
I just want to simplify everything, and that's.

Speaker 5 (13:08):
Where it falls.

Speaker 3 (13:10):
Yeah, totally, totally right, totally right. And here's the thing,
you know, you when you think about that O line
and with how he's done on the O line, you know, listen,
part of it's great to have Staltlin as a resource.
I mean, he's been there for over ten years or
close to ten years, and he's just incredible. Like I've said,

(13:33):
but that he learned all that stuff from one guy.
How he learned everything about the about this sport from
Andy Reid, which is so interesting because Amy Reid's fingerprints
are all over the Eagles. Now, obviously he's been going,
you know, for a dozen years.

Speaker 4 (13:52):
And the case is that even in that brother when
he did his round table with a bunch of reporters
in New Orleans. He credited it read several times. I
kept telling everybody that was on my shows, you should
be listening to Fellows. We've talked about this on Fox
Sports Radio. He credited Andy Reid several times for what
they're currently building, and he made no bones about the
fact that he thinks that Andy Reid is the greatest
coach of all time. And to throw that sort of

(14:14):
praise out in the Super Bowl for somebody that your
organization fired. I just think that takes a level of
kahonis we're not used to, you know, Like, that's just
that takes a level of self awareness. And you can
have great minds in the building, but you gotta listen
to him. You can have great minds, but you gotta
let him cook and not everybody. Ego is a dark,
dark thing in the NFL. It kills a lot of
in the whole world. Yeah, you know, so to me,

(14:36):
the fact that he actually listens to the great minds
he has is a big part of why the Eagles
are where they are.

Speaker 3 (14:42):
Yes, He's totally right, totally right. I just think it's
so interesting. That's why I think this matchup is interesting.
And look, I agree with him. I think Andy is
the best coach. And you know, if Kansas City has
a chance it's it'll be it'll be their coaching staff.
It'll be Patrick Mahomes and their coaching staff. The thing

(15:07):
that Andy is tasked with. And then really he's been
doing it all season. Like I mentioned earlier, we talked about,
you know, kicking Tuney out to tackle. You know, if
you think about it, Mahomes holds the ball less than
anybody in the league. He gets rid of it quicker

(15:27):
than anybody in the league. And they don't take shots downfield.

Speaker 2 (15:34):
There's no shot play.

Speaker 3 (15:35):
The Chiefs aren't that team that tries to set you
up and then max protect. Like look how the Rams
do it, right? The Rams will a lot of play action.
You know, you run Kyrin, you run Kiren. Next thing,
you know, you're in max protect and you take your
shot down field to Pooka or to Cup or whatever.

(15:57):
The Chiefs don't do that. Everything is horizontal everything. They
throw more passes behind the line of scrimmage than anybody.
They are a team that will quick take seven yards,
take twelve yards, try to get the ball out on
the perimeter, quick flash passes right, they work the edges.

(16:21):
And that has to do with because your old line
is not something that you're you're confident, and.

Speaker 2 (16:26):
You have to get rid of the ball. So you know,
Andy schemes that right.

Speaker 3 (16:30):
He moves the pocket, he moves my homes and they
get the ball out.

Speaker 2 (16:35):
Pull the balls out, you know. And that's what this
matchup is going to be.

Speaker 3 (16:38):
Because the only the only thing I think in the
chief favor besides the obvious the coaching staff and uh
and mahomes, is the fact that their offense matches the
Eagles defense. So the Eagles want to Eagles want to
keep everything in front of you. The vic Fangio likes

(17:01):
to play. It's like a glorified ben, but don't break.
They force you to matriculate, right.

Speaker 2 (17:07):
You got to.

Speaker 3 (17:09):
The Edison Championship game is the perfect example. Washington took
the opening kickoff, they used up eighteen plays, fancy eighteen plays,
and they only got three, but they went on three
fourth bounds. They held the ball for eight and a
half minutes. And that's what Fanzio's defense is. They force

(17:33):
you to get tired and to get impatient, and then
as sooner or later, you're gonna behind the sticks. Well,
the Chiefs don't get impatient. The Chiefs aren't happy to matriculate.
They have the playmakers, right, they have a running game,
they have that two headed monster, they have all those

(17:53):
stuff that we talked about underneath. So that to me
is the is the only Chiefs advantage the gay besides
Mahomes and the coaching staff.

Speaker 2 (18:03):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (18:03):
I agree with all of that, and it'll be interesting
because patience is a virtue and when you're patient, you
don't make mistakes. That's just the other part of this
is like Mahomes doesn't make a lot of mistakes in
these situations. So I totally agree that's that's also part
of their strategy to keep this thing close and grind
it down, you know, like that's it makes total sense
to do that. It's just I still think even playing

(18:24):
that way, this is a huge advantage for Philadelphia.

Speaker 3 (18:28):
Yeah, I don't know how I got one. I'll run
it by. I got I got one way. I would
attack if I were Randy, and then I we got
to talk about the other side of the ball, because
you talk, do you you do? You begad in the
conversation when you were like, hey, just because Spaggs is

(18:51):
a great DC doesn't mean he can stop Barkley. And
I don't know how you stopped the Eagles defense. And
there's a couple of things I gotta run by you
when it comes to formations that don't work in the
Chiefs favor. So there's a lot to unwrap from the game.
It's I love. I think this game is fascinating beyond

(19:15):
just the fact that I'm from Philadelphia. I'm fascinated by
the X and oh of the game. I just think
the matchups are really really interesting. We'll get to all
of it. It's the big game.

Speaker 2 (19:26):
Super Ball.

Speaker 3 (19:29):
We'll talk about how you're supposed to watch the game. Violations,
which are there's the more sports violations are committed on
Super Bowl Sunday than any other day, and we have
to be the police of it. Fitsy all right, And
I'm in all right, good man, Fitsy Man. Gut that out, true, true,

(20:47):
live from the ti iraq dot com studios. So a
couple of things, FITZI, I want to continue x's and
o's for a moment. The Barkley thing. You brought it up, like,
how do you stop Barkley? As badge, you can stop
bark There's one issue when it comes to Eagles run
versus Chiefs run defense.

Speaker 2 (21:09):
That's a big one.

Speaker 3 (21:09):
The Eagles run out of eleven personnel, right, that's one
tight end, Dallas Goddard. The Chiefs are twenty sixth, so
bottom third in defending the run against eleven personnel. Because
when they're in eleven personnel, you got when you have
to be a nickel, Right, you got to take your

(21:32):
big guys out and you got to be a nickel.
You can't be a base defense now against the run
in twelve personnel, where the Chiefs can run big and
run with their base. The Chiefs are sixth in the
NFL against the run, but the Eagles don't do that.
So the Eagles are going to force you to. If
you're going to be big to try to stop the run,

(21:52):
there'll be a matchup issue, right, and that'll mean someone
out of the back Barkley out of the backfield, Goddard, Right,
somebody's gonna be lined up. The Chiefs can't go with
a fifty mini with that five man front just to
help stop the run. The three linebackers, they'll be a
mismatch on the field. So it's like a it's like
a pick your poison til you go heavy and big

(22:15):
and risk the matchup, right, risk? You know somebody, you're
gonna have to force somebody to cover someone they can't
cover even in zone.

Speaker 4 (22:25):
So what alternative do you have in that? Like, if
you're just stuck, what's what's the right thing to do?

Speaker 3 (22:30):
Well, it's you gotta pick your poison, right, You gotta
think what am I best at. I know I'm twenty
six against the run, and they have Barkley and a
great running game, So I probably would risk the matchup problem.
I'd probably risk get hurt in the past game, then
risk Sakuon catching me all day long up and down

(22:53):
the field. We saw that with Cook and the one
drive that Buffalo really needed points.

Speaker 2 (22:59):
They went light.

Speaker 3 (23:01):
They were running out of nickel and and with at
eleven personnel and Chiefs were a nickel and they gashed them.

Speaker 4 (23:08):
Yeah, I think if you're looking at it from Kansas
City standpoint, whatever you have to do to not let
Sequon do that, you're gonna do, right, You're gonna take
the risk. You're gonna take the risk because But then
I think we are a little bit underselling here the
fact that, like we've just become so convinced that everything
Saquon does is perfect, which it is, like, as you
well know, I would have given him my MVP vote

(23:29):
if I had one. But it's not like they This
Eagles team is devoid of talent in the passing game, right, Like,
So I do think it's interesting that we're not even
presuming that if they sell out to stop the run.
That there's gonna be opportunity at this point for Jalen Hurts.
He's not gonna have to throw seventy four times, like,

(23:49):
let's not get it twisted, but he's gonna have opportunity.
He's gonna have three or four times in this game
that he can make that over the top pay and
play right like that, that throw that sort of over
everybody on the back side of the defense. Like, those
going to be opportunities because Bags is going to be
doing everything he can to slow down Saqua. So I
think that that's part of the damned if you do
and damned if you don't, hear like I certainly wanted,

(24:10):
wouldn't want to take these wide receivers on and just
presume that they could do nothing in this game.

Speaker 3 (24:15):
Yeah, I mean, I gotta tell you, uh, you know.

Speaker 5 (24:22):
A J.

Speaker 3 (24:23):
Brown, I've seen it all year long, Like the Steelers
sold out to try to stop the run. Steelers have
a great run defense, right and they were all right,
we're gonna load the box and we're gonna play you.

Speaker 2 (24:36):
Know, man behind it, and aj destroyed them.

Speaker 5 (24:41):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (24:42):
I mean, Hurt's got the ball out one read boom.

Speaker 3 (24:47):
I mean, Baltimore's got a great run defense and the
Eagles were able to navigate it.

Speaker 2 (24:53):
Now I will say this, I mean.

Speaker 3 (24:57):
Trent McDuffie is ter right, Jalen Watson is terrific. I
mean they have two great corners that can really, you know,
really kind of match up.

Speaker 4 (25:10):
Now, I think this guy thinks incredibly well like that defense,
this guy thinks incredibly well. Right, So Jalen Hurts is
gonna have to be nearly flawless and pre snap recognition.

Speaker 5 (25:18):
I think that's probably a fair statement.

Speaker 3 (25:21):
The only thing here and here's here's one of the
things that that is going to be interesting.

Speaker 2 (25:29):
You.

Speaker 3 (25:30):
He's got to be great obviously recognize like you said,
but they got the Eagles can stay out of third
and seven.

Speaker 2 (25:38):
That's what Spags is the Tormentshi.

Speaker 3 (25:42):
If you're third six, third and seven, third and eight
or longer, he tortures you because you don't know where
it's coming from. Nobody disguised his pressures like he does.
It's it, really, it's amazing. I've seen him. I was
when he was There was a year where he took

(26:02):
off from football from coaching. So he goes to Saint
Louis and then he was in New Orleans, and then
he was in Baltimore, and he took off a year.
And because the man did nothing but coach, he had
no friends. He was living in Philadelphia, right, all his
friends were in the game, So he was slumming it

(26:26):
with me, right. So we would be go out a
couple times a week, grabbing some beers or something to eat,
and we'd sit there and he'd be drawing stuff up
on a napkin and just explaining stuff like I'm like,
because I'm curious. You know, you come up, when you
come up with all these pressures, the sky's these pressures.
You know, you got the volumes of this defense that

(26:50):
you've put together, And like just the little things he'll do,
scratch stuff on a bar napkin. I mean, it's it's funny.
He would always like doodle. He was a doodler, and
he would doodle all kinds of plays.

Speaker 4 (27:09):
So I asked Michael Parsons, Eli Manning, Jerald McCoy, and
Nate Tice the same question, what should the Bills have
done on that fourth down play? What could they have
done to get a different outcome? And every single one
of them said, without hesitation, nothing, there's nothing you could
have done, Like Nate Tyce gave me a very in
depth breakdown of where they could have moved the protection

(27:30):
and if they moved the protection over there, they put
themselves in a liability and a risk like it got
deep time, But every single one of them was like, no,
sometimes there's just a perfect call in the perfect spot
and there ain't nothing you can do about it. That's
stunning to me. We're talking about it an AFC Championship game
against the MVP quarterback and he just dialed up a
blitz that was so perfect that I had four different

(27:51):
incredible players, three different incredible players, and four different analysts
turn around and tell me, Yeah, there is literally nothing
that Josh Allen and the Bills could have done.

Speaker 5 (28:00):
To save that play. That is brilliant.

Speaker 4 (28:02):
That's just a level of coaching brilliance that needs more respect.
When that's why this is all so hard to predict
for the Chiefs because I don't think the Chiefs match
up like talent wise as well against the Eagles. But
my god, those sorts of moments are just how do
you stop a perfect play call? And that's what spags

(28:22):
is does late in games and key moments like it's
just the moment's never too big and he knows the
right thing to dial up.

Speaker 3 (28:30):
Yeah no, I mean that's there's no substitute like that,
right for experience and having been there and all that
stuff like that's just you know real. You win three
of four, you're there for in a row, you're there
all the time. You know, you're used to the whole thing.

Speaker 4 (28:52):
I mean, I mean, my god, if they win this
super Bowl, considering how good Philadelphia is, I think, on paper,
if they win this Super Bowl, well, it might be
the best job that the Chiefs have done. And it
certainly is the sit down, shut up, and color in
your book moment to every fan, Like, look, just just
stop trying to figure out how to take it down

(29:12):
and start figuring out how to appreciate it, because I mean,
my god, Like, if we were playing this with two
equally qualified players on Madden, I think the Eagles would
win seven out of ten times, right, Like, if this
was a Madden simulgast, the Eagles win seven out of
ten times. I just if they don't win this football game,
then I think it's truly cements You've got the greatest

(29:33):
coach of all time with the greatest defensive coordinator of
all time, with the greatest quarterback of all time. I
just I don't really care about the total numbers on
any of these things. I care about the eye test
of what we see. And this is if they win
this game, then everybody needs to throw their hands up
and say, hey, I'm gonna stop complaining and start appreciating.

Speaker 2 (29:51):
I dude, I know, I mean, it's so wild, it
really is. It's amazing.

Speaker 3 (29:59):
You know, look at this decade, right and in you know,
February twenty twenty there was Chiefs winning their.

Speaker 2 (30:06):
First against the Niners.

Speaker 3 (30:09):
And then the following year was the year of Brady
and that year Mahomes didn't have tackles. Both his tackles
got hurt and he was under a deluge and they lose.
In twenty two, they of course lose to the Bengals
in the championship game, and it's the Rams Bengals. In

(30:32):
twenty three, it's this game, thirty eight, thirty five. Last year,
it's San Francisco. And remember San Francisco had the game
one last year.

Speaker 5 (30:45):
Yep, they were young.

Speaker 2 (30:47):
Here's the thing.

Speaker 3 (30:49):
San Francisco was better than Kansas City on paper, much
what the Eagles are.

Speaker 4 (30:57):
And what did that matter in the end, you know
what I mean, Yeah, that's what's that's what's stunning about it.
I just that's where, you know, I just have such
a sense of appreciation for for what we're seeing, and
I think that that's what we need to have, especially
if this team finds a way to win this game.
Particularly just they shouldn't win this football game, I don't think,

(31:18):
and I still think they might and that's just because
they are that effing good, you know, And that's just
that's just real, and that's just the way they figure
out how to win football games is like nothing I've
ever seen. And you know it is at some point
I've said to you how many times it is no
longer you know, it's no longer a stick. It's part

(31:38):
of your identity. You're winning these games that you simply
shouldn't win. That is that is part of your identity.

Speaker 2 (31:46):
Yeah, they're they're they're special. Well though, I you know,
I think if I think.

Speaker 3 (31:51):
The Eagles are, the Eagles are prepared now, like they're
ready to win.

Speaker 2 (31:58):
It's it's rocky too, my brother yep.

Speaker 4 (32:03):
The other day, how does this go from Rocky to
Rocky Too. And one of my co hosts on that
podcast is like Jory Epstein is, she's amazing, but she
does not watch movies or pop culture at all. Like
she just reads books in football, that's all she does.
So like we had to stop the show and say
do you understand the reference? And she's like, nope, never
seen Rocky.

Speaker 1 (32:22):
So you know, I had to work on it.

Speaker 3 (32:26):
Oh my god, that's hysterical. Yeah yeah, now Rocky Too.
He wins the rematch. Yep, that's what it is. This
is it, Father Carmine, you.

Speaker 5 (32:37):
Know, father, I want.

Speaker 3 (32:43):
It's uh, you know Saquon's birthday, It's the whole thing.

Speaker 2 (32:48):
It's pretty cool, man. Where the fella is? Right here?

Speaker 3 (32:51):
Fox Sports Radio Fellas from the ti iraq dot Com
studio Chason Fits Anthony Gargano, So I this is stunning.

Speaker 2 (33:03):
No, you are a very hard worker.

Speaker 3 (33:07):
But and you are, of course, everybody knows you're on
a mission that you have. You've been incredible discipline in
becoming a beast shredding right, you're you know, twelve pack
whole thing.

Speaker 2 (33:25):
But my lord, my brother, you're in New Orleans and
you didn't go out once.

Speaker 4 (33:31):
Nope, I went out Sunday night, actually before all the
festivities started, I went to Bourbon Street and watched a
couple of bands and you know, had a couple of
waters went out.

Speaker 5 (33:42):
I wanted to get to Bourbon Street before.

Speaker 4 (33:43):
The chaos actually started, right But after that, no, I
brought my own like snacks and everything.

Speaker 5 (33:50):
But on a typical day, I was in media Row
and for.

Speaker 4 (33:54):
Anyone that doesn't know, like all of the stations are
right there, and stations from across the country. And then
you know, we had a big set that was part
of a partnership with Toyota, and so we were playing
like a card game where you flip a card over
and it brings up a question kind of out we
were doing our interviews. But on a typical day, I
was in the media center by six thirty in the morning,

(34:16):
and I was lucky if I was leaving at six
at night. So for me, that many hours of just
being on man I would go back to the hotel
and it's like I am just I'm spent. Does I
have approchate bar and you know, and pop my feet
up the way I look at I always remember this.
Last year at the draft, I talked to Brock Bauers,
and I didn't know he was going to get drafted
by my favorite team, of course.

Speaker 5 (34:37):
But after our interview I asked him.

Speaker 4 (34:39):
I said, you're doing anything in Vegas while you're out
here and he said, no, I'm taking a jet literally
back to train tonight. And I said, man, you're not
even going to take one night in Vegas. And he said,
the way I look at it, if I do things
the right way for the next ten years, I can
come back to Vegas.

Speaker 5 (34:53):
Whenever I want and do it my way.

Speaker 4 (34:55):
And I kept thinking about that level of commitment, like
that's what the greats have, you know. So you know,
I interviewed Match Crosby and he told me he got
up at four am that day to go get his
work out in, and I'm just I'm looking at all
that and thinking, hey, you got to do it the
next guy, won't you know. I'm there to work. I'm
there to make great content. I can go back to
New Orleans with my brother Anthony Gargano anytime.

Speaker 5 (35:14):
And we can celebrate, you know.

Speaker 4 (35:15):
So it was all work, all the time for me,
and not in a bad way, like I really.

Speaker 2 (35:21):
I respect that. I will say I was not in
New Orleans. I had.

Speaker 3 (35:28):
Duties here in Philadelphia because of all the hype and
everything else that we had. I had a slew of
people in New Orleans, so it was great to kind
of rally all the locals. So we did a bunch
of shows all around town. But I love New Orleans.
I love I love New Orleans. I have to tell you,

(35:48):
I just well, I would have loved to just go
on there and just walk the streets. I did one
of the great walking cities, and you know I would
have did one.

Speaker 2 (36:02):
I think I would have had one dinner, my brother.

Speaker 3 (36:04):
I mean the food the food seed is ridiculous like that.

Speaker 4 (36:08):
My only that's my only regret is that I should
have stayed an extra night. But again, this is like
in the weeds for everybody, but for anyone that again
doesn't know when you stay at a Super Bowl location.
Now you can no longer just book a Friday night,
So you have to book all the way through Monday
if you're gonna be there on Friday night. So what
almost everybody that's not actually at the game. Because my

(36:30):
my shows for Yahoo, I'm doing remote from the for
the super Bowl itself, So I didn't have to be
at the game. So then all of a sudden, those
those hotel rooms went up to like fifteen hundred bucks
a night. Yeah, you know for Friday, Saturday, Sunday. And
I just didn't feel like I didn't feel good cost
in the company, you know, five gray and just so
I could party. But it was you know, you're right,
it is very walkable. Like I walked around a little

(36:53):
bit a couple of times. I just didn't necessarily eat
or drink. And you know, I tried. I tried to
remember one thing too, Like last year again in Vegas,
the last day I'll ever forget this. I walked up
to a longtime friend of mine. I walked up the
last day and Friday, and he looked at me and said,
no offense, but you look like hell. And I was like,
you're right, I do. And I looked in the mirror
and I'd put on ten pounds that week.

Speaker 5 (37:15):
That's how hard I was partying in Vegas.

Speaker 4 (37:17):
And for me, there was this And I would give
this message to everybody that constantly says, you know, when
you when you're sacrificing something, people ask why all the time.
Nobody asks why you're gorging yourself. Everybody asks why you're
sacrificing for me as cheesy as it sounds. Friday, I
interviewed Dion wearing a T shirt. I was just wearing
a T shirt and I felt great. I walked in

(37:39):
and our crew for y'all, who was like, dude, you
look he yoked, and I was like, you know what,
those are the moments.

Speaker 5 (37:44):
That all the sacrifice is worth it, you know.

Speaker 4 (37:46):
I just you want like look good, feel good, play good,
like all that stuff. So I wouldn't trade. I wouldn't
trade any of it. Because as I sat there, you know,
Friday afternoon, I still felt like the best version of myself.
And I think everybody that's that's out there trying to
wonder why you make the sacrifice of working out or
eating right, I would just tell you that, like, there

(38:06):
are so many little moments that become really worth it
when you've made the sacrifice for nine months, that it's
a really beautiful thing.

Speaker 3 (38:13):
Yeah, man, God bless You've done it the hard way,
not the easy.

Speaker 2 (38:17):
Way, for sure. Man. Yeah, so you're to be lauded, but.

Speaker 5 (38:22):
You would have laughed, brother, I was.

Speaker 4 (38:23):
I was standing at at the media wrote at one
point talking to a bunch of more like Lwan and
Mitchell Schwartz and Jeffrey Schwartz and all those like talking to everybody.
And it was funny watching how like my friends were
making fun of me because like former players are all
bending down to look like I'm five nine, come on,
and I look tiny, But next to those guys, I'm
looking up like it's like Daddy picked me up.

Speaker 5 (38:44):
Like it's it was so funny.

Speaker 3 (38:46):
Yeah, Well, I'm glad you had a great, a great time.
You got some good weather too, which was nice. Yeah,
get a little break from the from the winter. It's
it's great city, great place, New Orleans.

Speaker 2 (39:01):
All right, we'll come back. We got to talk about
the game and how we're watching it.

Speaker 3 (39:05):

(39:51):
gonna watch with people? Are you just are you working

Speaker 4 (39:55):
No, I'm probably I'm not working to my reaction stuff.
Is it gonna be till the next morning? So I
get to let loose on this Super Bowl? So I'm
just gonna watch.

Speaker 5 (40:01):
It as a fan.

Speaker 4 (40:02):
I'm just gonna sit back and I really really decided. Right,
I've got options. I can go hang out with some friends.
I could just watch it at my place.

Speaker 5 (40:10):
I can go.

Speaker 4 (40:10):
There's a bar right down the road from a house
that does a fifty dollars all inclusive, all you can eat,
all you can drink ticket with raffles at halftime.

Speaker 3 (40:17):
That's a it's a good. It's a good little deal there,
fifty dollars. That's a good. That's a good deal.

Speaker 2 (40:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (40:24):
So you know, I really haven't decided. How are you watching?

Speaker 2 (40:28):
So I it's gonna be intimate.

Speaker 3 (40:32):
I I don't like there's a there's a friend of mine,
one of my friends is having a big party at
like a swanky place in front of Arizone's. This this
place right in the center city Philadelphia, right, and it's
a great spot. It's beautiful, and he's having top notch everything.

Speaker 2 (40:53):
It's like first class everything.

Speaker 3 (40:56):
The food's ridiculous, chefs like you name, a big screen,
television's whole thing. I will not be going there because
there'll be one hundred people there, and the last thing
I want to do is watch my team play with
one hundred people, So I won't do that. I'm either

(41:16):
going to go over It's either going to be my house,
my buddy Teach's house, or my cousin Joey's house. Right,
we'll decide that today. There'll be me, my kids, my
wife and the two kids, my boys, and you know,
my my cousin Joey, my buddy Teoch, maybe my buddy Vinnie,

(41:41):
and then their wives and that's it. And then like
I just want to be around my friends and family,
the closest people because it means like everything. Like I
was a little kid, like I grew up a huge
Eagles fan, right, Like it could be crazy crazy Eagles fan,

(42:03):
Like my father would be up here, but he's in Florida,
like or he would be, you know, with us watching
a game and like my cousin and I We've watched
a million games, going to a million games, watched a
million games. Even when I was gotten to media, I
you know, would still you know, the Eagles were still

(42:23):
like my team. And I was working in Chicago and
working in New York, so I was a writer and
journalist and I was able to be you know, I
didn't cover the Eagles, so that was always my you know,
I can let loose and be a fan because I
loved that team and.

Speaker 2 (42:40):
They were horrible.

Speaker 3 (42:42):
Like the amazing thing about my journey as an Eagles
fan is I was like a little kid when they
went to the Super Bowl nineteen eight against the Raiders.
So I don't really you know, I remember being at
the championship game.

Speaker 2 (42:57):
I was.

Speaker 3 (42:57):
My father took me to the championship game out of
e eight, I don't know, eight or nine, and they
beat the Cowboys and it was like a huge thing
and it was awesome and it was at the VET
and it was cold and the whole thing, and then uh,
they lose.

Speaker 2 (43:12):
The Super Bowl was ironically was in New Orleans.

Speaker 3 (43:15):
Dick Vermial, who later coached the Rams, was like a
legendary figure. He turned around like a horrible franchise to
get them to the Super Bowl. They he is too
they're too tight. He has them locked away. The Raiders
were like marauders on Bourbon Street, partying like Raiders would do.

(43:39):
And the Raiders crossed them in the Super Bowl as
an underdog, and then they stink right, they go away.
They have They have this guy named Marion Campbell who
stakes the coach. Then Buddy Riley comes in for the
Bears and he has the one of the best defenses ever,
Reggie White, Jerome Brown, Clyde Simmons, and they can't win

(44:03):
a playoff game. Randall Huntingham, who was this all world talent,
who was the talented quarterback before all these mobile quarterbacks.

Speaker 2 (44:13):
He was the guy.

Speaker 3 (44:15):
But they had no oc they couldn't figure out how
to use them, and they were disappointment. The nineties they suck, right,
They just you know, they stink again. Early part of
the decade, they have a chance, they can't get it done,
and then they just blow. And then comes the early
two thousands, and that's when Amy's here.

Speaker 2 (44:36):
Amy shows up.

Speaker 3 (44:37):
In nineteen ninety eight, the Eagles were an awful team.

Speaker 2 (44:41):
Awful they were so bad.

Speaker 3 (44:43):
There was a game against Green Bay where Vegas took
them off the board. They couldn't make the spread high enough. Wow, yep,
it was that bad Ray Roads. It was a great man,
great he was a great coordinator, but not a good
head coach. And the roster was bad and they were terrible.
And he comes in and redods the whole franchise. He's

(45:07):
five and eleven his first yeary dress McNab the whole thing.
And then from there on it's their run. But they
don't win, dude, Like, as great as they are, they
win a ton of games, but they don't win.

Speaker 2 (45:22):
So here it is.

Speaker 3 (45:25):
Going into the twenty February of twenty eighteen, and I
still have never seen them win a Super Bowl, right,
I only saw one Super Bowl that I ever remember.
I mean the other one again I was little, which
was oh four Jacksonville where they lost to the Patriots,
and they had all kinds of t drama McNab drama.

Speaker 2 (45:49):
And then finally.

Speaker 3 (45:52):
In twenty eighteen with Carson Wentz hurt and Carson Wentz
on the Chiefs roster.

Speaker 2 (45:58):
By the way, now Carson went hurt, they.

Speaker 3 (46:02):
They Dick Foles comes in and is I mean, I
never say anything like it. The backup quarterback we we
was Saint Nick. He started on Christmas right Christmas Eve
against the Raiders, Satan Nick's.

Speaker 2 (46:19):
First start, and he was horrible.

Speaker 3 (46:22):
And he goes on this magical run that culminates in
the super Bowl against Belichick and all his rings with
his with his hot young girlfriend.

Speaker 2 (46:32):
Right, that picture is the greatest.

Speaker 3 (46:37):
How about the digress the second the picture of Belichick
and his girlfriend on the red carpet. He's wearing the rings,
so he's got every one of the rings. And then
she's got a ring on too, the super Bowl rings.
He's got the red jacket. He looks like the devil.

Speaker 4 (46:58):
Yeah, and he's also flatting it would do at that point,
like go for it. You live your best life, Bill
like that, You're you're you're out there in the streets.
Go get your go, get your your joy.

Speaker 5 (47:07):
There we go.

Speaker 2 (47:09):
Actually, that's one of the greatest things ever. Uh.

Speaker 3 (47:12):
Anyway, falls wins the super Bowl. It's like, oh my god.
And now they've been to three super Bowl since a
third super Bowl in eight years and dude, I don't
even recognize it, Like I can't even tell you. We
used in Philadelphia. We spelled fatalism with a pH. All right,

(47:33):
that's how we were bred as sports fans. Always close
but never win, always decent but never great, always foul
in the biggest moments. And the Eagles e rased that,
which is why I expect them to win tomorrow. I've

(47:53):
put aside the fatalism that I was born with as
a Philadelphia sports fan, and the Eagles have cured me
of that because I saw twenty eighteen and they were
the better team up front. In twenty eighteen, the Patriots
had the better quarterback. The Patriots were dynasty, but the

(48:14):
Eagles were better on both sides of the ball. And
it's the same thing in this game. The Chiefs have
the better quarterback the Eagles or the Chiefs are a dynasty,
but the Eagles are better on both the offensive, defensive line,
in the trenches.

Speaker 5 (48:33):
So can I tell you my only Super Bowl Raiders story?

Speaker 2 (48:36):
Oh?

Speaker 5 (48:36):
Yeah, only one, because there's only one.

Speaker 4 (48:38):
Super Bowl I remember in my life, like much like you,
when the Washington football team lost to the Raiders in
eighty three. I was a child, so I don't remember
that at all. I don't remember that game. I know
I watched it with my dad, but I don't remember it.
So my super Bowl memory by Jason Finson is the
Super Bowl against Tampa back.

Speaker 5 (48:59):
So let me pay a picture here.

Speaker 4 (49:00):
All right, I'm living in nash I'm having every like
the Raiders are a big favorite in the Super Bowl.
I am throwing a monster party, monster party. So I've
ordered a cake, I've ordered kegs. I've got it all
handled right. So the morning of I get up to
go pick up the cake and the kegs, only to
find out that maybe the most important person not named
Rich Cannon on that team had gone a wall, Barrett Robbins,

(49:23):
the offensive of the center, and really the lead of
the offensive line, had just disappeared. And that was the
breaking story of the morning. So I'm already in panic bow.
So I go pick up my kegs and I'm like,
all right, everything's going to be fine. I put the
kegs on the back porch. Then I go to the
Kroger to pick up my Raiders cake that I'd ordered,
only to find out that at the time, again this
is twenty years ago, at the time, apparently they can't

(49:45):
they couldn't make black frosting. So my Raiders cake was blue,
like my my Super Bowl was blue, and I looked
at it. I was like, man, this day is not
going particularly well. And then I'm sitting down and all
my friends start showing up. Do you know my friends
thought it would be funny if they all came in
Tampa Bay t shirts. So all of a sudden, my

(50:05):
house is overrun by people wearing Tampa Bay buccaneer Scared,
which is something I will never allow it to have
happen again in my life. If the Raiders are ever
lucky enough to be in a Super Bowl. They just
thought it'd be funny to troll me. And then that
game started so terribly, and I remember I had my
favorite chair right in front of the TV. Everybody's rage partying.
I'm watching the game. I'm wildly disappointed. At the end

(50:26):
of the game, I go out to the backport, so
I was like, all right, I'm just gonna drink my
way through this, only to find out that my friends,
who had all left at this point because I was grumpy,
had drank all my beer. All the kegs were completely tapped,
not an ounce of beer was left in the house,
and I just sat in my house alone. After the
Raiders lost the Super Bowl, realizing that my friend sucked.

Speaker 5 (50:44):
I'm just gonna be honest with you.

Speaker 4 (50:46):
So I hear you talk about the super Bowl and
I totally feel that, Like I think it's you know,
I told people a couple of years ago when the
Raiders were lucky enough to make the playoffs and lose
to the Bengals. You know, everybody's like, you're gonna watch
with people, You're gonna have friends over, and it's like, no,
that experience went so wrong for me at the super Bowl.
I may never do that at a key game again,
or if I do, there will be a understanding with

(51:08):
everybody that walks in my house that if you are
not head to toe supportive, like I don't want you
trash talking, I don't want your logic, I don't want
your reasoning. I want you to be a diehard Raiders fan.
And if you're not going to be that, get the
hell out of my house. Like I learned that from
my super Bowl. So I respect the fact that you
know you're going to watch watch, you know, with close friends.
That's the only way to do it. Like the super
Bowl is not like losing the super Bowl is a

(51:29):
memory that sticks with you forever, as a friend or
as a fan, I should say, so, there are no variables.

Speaker 3 (51:36):
I will take you know, wow, I remember that Super
Bowl distinctly because we were on the losing side of
that Tampa Bay debacle, which it's interesting how it might
have played out for you. Yeah, so let me go

(51:58):
to the NFC portion of it. It was the last
game of Veterans Stadium. Now, I grew up like in
the shadows of the Vet, like we used to. That
was like our playground. I love the Vet, right, loved it.
It was our stadium, horrible concrete bowl, you know, built
in the seventies, like everything else was trash right architecturally

(52:20):
in the seventies, and that stadium was terrible of the
artificial tarraph, the whole thing. But it was our. It
was our you know stadium in two thousand and two.
It's set to be demolished right earlier three. So here
it is January of three, championship game. It will be

(52:42):
the final game of Veterans Stadium, Eagles and Buccaneers. Tampa
Bay had never won when it was under thirty I
want to say thirty eight degrees, they were winless. And
of course it's January Pildolpia. So it's freezing and that

(53:06):
was a big deal. Oh man, Buccaneers never, they can't
win in the cold. They're coming up here. The Eagles
were on the ascent. The Eagles were just rolling and
he had him, you know, playing great defense. And Donovan McNabb,
who mind and dude, their favorite right. The game starts

(53:29):
off with and there was like a snowstorm that like before,
and it was all cleared out and there it is
freezing Colt. The game starts out with a Brian Mitchell if.

Speaker 2 (53:44):
You remember b Mitch who was a kick returner.

Speaker 3 (53:46):
Yeah, b Mitch takes one like eighty yards the opening
kickoff takes them back eighty yards. Duke Staley runs it
in for a touchdown. They're up seven to Ofhing Toy
get an interception and then a field goal. They're up
ten to nothing. The place is going bananas, like they're
gonna go to their first super Bowl since nineteen eighty

(54:09):
and twenty three years.

Speaker 2 (54:11):
They're gonna go to their first foot ball Dude, they
just die.

Speaker 3 (54:18):
They wither, and McNabb's horrible, and the office doesn't move
and there's Joe Juravicius. They can't tag Uh, it was
just it was a blood letting. I was on the
sidelines thing a book project. So I was behind Amy
Reid the whole game. I that whole season. I was

(54:40):
embedded with them, so I live with them, So I
was at meetings and on the road and their hotel
and all that stuff. And I was sure I was
gonna have this bestseller because I was gonna they were
gonna win the Super Bowl, go to the Super Bowl,
and it's gonna do this big thing. And they lose
freaking game. I mean, of course, for you, you've got

(55:05):
the Grooden factor. Yep, because Grouden knew the Raiders like
no other team.

Speaker 2 (55:13):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (55:13):
John Lynch actually said after that game that they knew
every like they've been they knew every play and Rich
Cannon and the Raiders admitted it like they would date
audible and all of a sudden, like I mean, the
fact that their head coach, Bill Callahan at the time
hadn't changed any of the verbiage is I think one
of the greatest coaching malpractice things I've ever seen. How

(55:34):
do you take it on John Gruden and not have
changed a single word of his playbook like that is
just that's a level of stupid that shouldn't be allowed
on the sideline. It just I'll never.

Speaker 5 (55:43):
Ever get it ever forget it.

Speaker 3 (55:46):
I mean, Licky Kennedy, who was a dear, dear friend
who was in the game, is still haunted by that.
And you know, the original Fellas and Fitzy he talked
about a chapter verse like how you know they would
call out the play on defense. They were like, it's

(56:09):
going here, And if you go back and watch the game,
forget the early on slot. They were able to run
the ball. He didn't run the ball, but the Raiders
could still run the ball. Even then would happened knowing
the play The Raiders could still run the ball. And
it was just it was probably the worst ever coaching

(56:33):
job in the Super Bowl by that staff.

Speaker 4 (56:37):
And the funny thing is you think, in the moment,
you know what, that's okay, Like the Raiders are gone
to the AFC Championship game, they've been a playoff team.
You just think, okay, we'll get them next year. I
get we'll figure this out. We will get them next year.
And then that started the spiral of you know whatever.
It was like thirteen straight seasons of double digit losses,
you just never know, You never like. That's all the

(56:59):
more reason that I tell I would tell anybody that's
a massive fan of the Chiefs or of the Eagles,
like man, watch it home because you like watch with
close friends, because you just never know if this is
going to be the last super Bowl you'll see for
thirty years, like you just you don't know. And if
it goes the wrong way, man, at least you're gonna
be around friends, you know, Because again, losing losing a

(57:20):
championship for fans, I can't even imagine what it feels
like for players, But for fans, it's suffocating.

Speaker 5 (57:26):
It is just it is.

Speaker 4 (57:27):
It's a level of defeat that you just you never forget,
you never forget it.

Speaker 3 (57:33):
It's yeah, it's it's awful, all right. Coming up, how
we watch the game? You bring it up watching with
family and friends. I kind of dive into that a
little bit and the idea of this super Bowl party.
And at some point we got to talk about the
Luca trade. I I just need to go. I don't

(57:54):
understand any of its Wow, the worst trading the history
of the leak. I feel sorry.

Speaker 2 (58:03):
I did a.

Speaker 3 (58:05):
Dallas ESPN radio show yesterday and my god, I just
I felt. I felt for those people. Man, that's trade
is talking about malpractice. Oh my god. We're the Fellas

Post it right after we get off the air and
give us a follow up. Do us a solid We
appreciate it. All right, how do you watch a Super
Bowl now? Obviously because I have a team in it. Right,
when you have a team in it, you want you
want to concentrate on everything and just immerse yourself in

(59:43):
the moment, right like that's it. You appreciate that you
had that one experience where you're throwing the party where
the Raiders were in it. I just want to watch
it with family of friends, close people. I don't want
one hundred people. I told you I got invited to
big party. I could have went to the game, I
don't want to. I don't want to. I just want

(01:00:04):
to have my closest people around me to just savor
the moment in case they win. I saw them winning eighteen.
I was on Broad Street until I don't know I
went to I went to work the next morning. So
I was out all night hugging people on Broad Street
and drinking tequila. And it was one of the greatest

(01:00:25):
knights I ever had.

Speaker 2 (01:00:27):
I want to I.

Speaker 3 (01:00:28):
Want to just appreciate the moment in this game and
not talk about nonsense. I have a buddy of mine,
I coached basketball with.

Speaker 2 (01:00:39):
Fitzy. You'll appreciate this, he said, he's watching that game.

Speaker 3 (01:00:43):
When they win and they beat Brady in eighteen and
his sister in law is next to him and she's
you know what, people are talking and you don't really
register what they're saying, and then all of a sudden,
the dawns on you. And he's like, she's like three
and a half minutes left and they're going to game,
and she's talking about Disney World and how all the

(01:01:05):
family you're gonna go to Disney World, but it's expensive
and all stuff. He said, I turned my system one.
I said, you gotta give me three and a half minutes.
All right, you just gotta be quiet. I'll talk all
the Disney you want after three and a half minutes,
but you gotta be quiet right now.

Speaker 5 (01:01:25):
How did she react to that?

Speaker 3 (01:01:27):
And apparently she got, you know, she began offended, offended,
but she got I think it was a little butt hurt, right.

Speaker 4 (01:01:36):
But I think that's one of the weird things about
the Super Bowl is that so much of it is
just casual friends coming together. Everybody's shooting the shot, you know,
everybody's just kind of talking and catching up on how
life is going and all these different things. And like,
I get that there's a place in time for that.
But that's tough, man like, it's not now.

Speaker 2 (01:01:56):
I'm sorry. I'm no fun.

Speaker 3 (01:02:00):
I'm telling you right off the bat, I got no
problems admitting it. I'm not fun. I don't want nonsense.
I don't want ridiculously stupid conversation. I don't care about
the commercials. I freaking hate the halftime show, all right.
I hate the pop culture element of the super Bowl,
the bigness of the super Bowl. I freaking hate it.

(01:02:21):
I like football. I'm simple. I'm a loser. I'm a nerd.
I like football. I don't like all the stuff. I
don't care about the commercials. I don't care about the
halftime show. I don't care about what's going on. Who's
their celebrities, I don't care about any of it.

Speaker 2 (01:02:39):
I just want to watch the game.

Speaker 4 (01:02:41):
I think the commercials particularly have become a lot like
the Dunk contest too, Like it's just impossible to do
anything that really stands out. And now you know, so
many of the commercials are out early anyway that I
don't know. It just doesn't feel like there's as much
hoopla over oh my god, did you see that great
Budweiser or Dorito's commercial. You know, it just feels feels
like that stuff is sort of played out at this point.

(01:03:03):
There's not much you can do anymore that gets a
reaction out of people.

Speaker 5 (01:03:06):
From a commercial.

Speaker 4 (01:03:06):
So to me, commercials have sort of the run their
course on a lot of this and the halftime show.
You know, I'm kind of with you, Like I just
I'm not sitting here excited about Kendrick Lamar at all
doing the halftime show. I saw him do the halftime
show of the college football National Championship Game years ago,
and I was there and watched it, and I thought,
you know, like, to me, a great halftime show is

(01:03:28):
this big, high energy you know, everybody's jumping up and down,
Oh my god, Like it really hits on a million
different cylinders, like the Super Bowl a few years ago,
where you know, it was Doctor Trey and Eminem and everybody,
Like there was so much vibe to that thing that
I loved it. Or you know Bruno Mars in New York,
Like I do love those like big, high energy performances.
But like I don't know, I said last year, I

(01:03:50):
think Usher's baby making music, and I don't want baby
making music at the halftime of a football game. So
I think Kendrick Lamar is like super heady, smart, like
he's gonna make a statement with this music. And I
don't really need all that, Like, just entertain me. Just
entertain me and they get off the field. You know,
That's all I ask.

Speaker 3 (01:04:07):
Yeah, it's funny. I don't even get like, I won't
even watch. I don't care who's there. The only person
that would I would watch, that actually would watch for
a halftime show would be you, all right, only because
you're my friend. Otherwise I don't care who it is. Honestly,

(01:04:29):
I'm a I was a huge Prince fan, right, you know,
Prince came back there, came back and did the show.
I wouldn't watch. I have no interest in a halftime show.
In fact, especially if there is like my team's in it.

(01:04:51):
I'll need to pace, I'll need to walk to a
walk outside. I don't know, I need to do something
all that they sit there and watch some stupid halftime show.
What I what Bob is me is I wish they
have alternative everything, right, right right? Why can't they have
alternative halftime shows?

Speaker 5 (01:05:12):
Oh that's a great idea actually.

Speaker 3 (01:05:14):
For football fans where you get to turn off the
nonsense and listen to coaches analyze the first half.

Speaker 4 (01:05:25):
Now, that would actually be like a mega cast broadcast own.
It does a great idea where you can actually hear
people talk about what's happening.

Speaker 5 (01:05:31):
That's a great idea.

Speaker 3 (01:05:33):
I mean, I would love to hear you know, you
know the Manning's right, give me, you know, give me
something football, Like I get it. The super Bowls not
for football fans, I understand. I mean, and you know
I get it, grow the game and make all your money.
I understand it. Right, whatever, it's cool.

Speaker 4 (01:05:55):
But well, I like not for no, like just super
Bowls for growth, but for you this one isn't your
team's in it. It takes a total different gravitas to
the whole thing.

Speaker 3 (01:06:08):
You know.

Speaker 4 (01:06:08):
It's just at that point when your team's in it. Frankly,
you know, screw everybody that's there for growth of the game.
In that moment, like you've spent your whole life rooting
for a team that has a chance to win a
championship like that, that just hits so differently, you know,
like y, yeah, that's because you.

Speaker 3 (01:06:25):
Know what it is. It connects and this is the
commonality for us, all of us. No matter what team
you're root for, that team goes back to your childhood
informative years, and it connects you with memories of your life.

(01:06:47):
In many ways, it's a timeline of your own life.
And if you're lucky enough and you have a core
family friends, you draw the parallel of watching the games
and experiencing that team with those people, those who have passed,
those who are with us right the closest people to you.

(01:07:11):
It connects you with them. I tell you about you know,
my cousin. My cousin is three and a half years
older than me, so we were raised like brothers. And
my mom and his mom were sisters. She my aunt Cookie,
was like my second mother. My mother was like my
cousin's second mother. Both of the ladies are gone, and

(01:07:32):
you know where he's my best friend and we talk
every other day and.

Speaker 2 (01:07:38):
We just talk sports, right like that's it. We talked
on life and all. But you know, we are sports heads,
like to know, to the nth degree. We played it
growing up. You know, we just watch it, play love it.

Speaker 3 (01:07:52):
He's at my kids games, like we're just a sports
family and I love it, every speed of it and
I just want to watch it with like those types
of people and no ancillary nonsense, and especially when your
team's in it, Like that's what it's about. It's about

(01:08:14):
those people, and you know, it's a beautiful kind of moment.
And my wife was like, you're the worst. You're boring
to watch games with because I don't cheer. I rarely react, right,
once in a while get mad, but normally I just
sit there and you know, immerse myself in the game.

Speaker 2 (01:08:40):
How are you to watch it?

Speaker 4 (01:08:40):
One that's funny because I yell into you, Like if
I'm watching the Raiders, I'm yelling and screaming.

Speaker 5 (01:08:44):
The entire time.

Speaker 2 (01:08:46):
That's cool.

Speaker 4 (01:08:47):
Yeah, I'm I am worked up and I'm yelling at
the TV.

Speaker 5 (01:08:50):
I make no apologies for that. I am.

Speaker 4 (01:08:53):
I am absolutely that guy that is sitting there and
just going apoplectic, especially in a game that has true meaning.
Although I will say I surprised myself when the Raiders
played the Bengals in the playoffs. I so appreciated the
fact that they'd finally made the playoffs that I wasn't
even that heartbroken when they lost. It was just like,
you know what, this was a really fun year and

(01:09:15):
I'm going to appreciate that it was a really fun
year because I'd gone through so many years that were
just terrible to have a year that was, like, man,
I won ten games this year. It was a good
football team, Like it was fun to watch this team
week in and week out.

Speaker 5 (01:09:27):
That just hit different.

Speaker 4 (01:09:28):
So, you know, I didn't find myself yelling at screaming
at the Bengals game because I didn't really necessarily think
they would.

Speaker 5 (01:09:33):
Win, but it was.

Speaker 4 (01:09:35):
I was far more subdued early in the season, particularly
when I don't know yet how bad the Raiders are
going to be. Oh man, Like I'm teaching the entire
neighborhood four letter words that they don't want to know.
Like it's just I am mother f in the entire place,
Like there's no doubt about that.

Speaker 2 (01:09:52):
Yeah, I see. I love that you can't have.

Speaker 3 (01:09:58):
You can't have nonsense, Like I just don't want to
be around a bunch of people that aren't paid attention
to the game. Like I know that's antiquated and ridiculously stupid,
but I'm sorry. I don't care about you know, the
patae that's in the shape of a football, and I

(01:10:19):
don't care about any of that stuff.

Speaker 2 (01:10:21):
Give me a wing or slice of pizza. I call
it a day.

Speaker 3 (01:10:24):
Like, I don't really care. The menu is not important
to me. The drinks aren't important to me. I just
want the game.

Speaker 4 (01:10:35):
Yeah, And I think that that that speaks to you know,
everybody's got to know exactly what their goal is with
the Super Bowl party. Like if you're throwing a super
Bowl party, I think you just got to set up
the rules, like, hey, this is the vibe of this
party before you come.

Speaker 5 (01:10:49):
Here's the vibe.

Speaker 4 (01:10:50):
We're going to be all in on the game, or
we're going to be all in on the commercials, or
we're all in on the snacks. Like You've got to
set the expectations so the people that are deciding to
attend will know exactly what vibe they're supposed to be.

Speaker 2 (01:11:01):
You're right, all right?

Speaker 3 (01:11:02):
When we come back, there's a million violations, you know
that that people make for these games. So I'm curious.
I want to find out what Bree and Mighty Mark
and we all like our happy place when it comes
to the super Bowl and no violations. All right, there
is something to do with talking and fandom and everything else.

Speaker 2 (01:11:25):
There's got to be some.

Speaker 3 (01:11:26):
Order to the Super Bowl party where the fellas right
here on Fox Sports Radio. Welcome back Fellas from the
tire Raq dot Com studios. All right, let me ask
our fine production team, Brianna and Mighty Mark. Right, let's

(01:11:47):
see what they're doing. Let's see all right. So, Brianna,
you're interesting because you're a real football fan.

Speaker 2 (01:11:54):
Yes, all right.

Speaker 3 (01:11:56):
In fact, you hate like when you're on the daties scene,
you run into these gazy football dudes all.

Speaker 7 (01:12:04):
The time, these randoms.

Speaker 3 (01:12:06):
Yes, they have no idea what they're looking at, what
they're watching aliens.

Speaker 7 (01:12:10):
Yes, you called that on.

Speaker 2 (01:12:12):
Yes, which I totally respect.

Speaker 7 (01:12:15):
Thank you.

Speaker 2 (01:12:16):
How do you watch the game?

Speaker 8 (01:12:18):
So for the past two years, I've been working here,
so I will be here watching the game.

Speaker 7 (01:12:23):
Oh yes, Do you like that?

Speaker 1 (01:12:25):
I do?

Speaker 8 (01:12:26):
I actually do, because it's kind of like a camaraderie
thing that we're all kind of in it together, so,
I mean, and it's kind of good. We don't really
have anybody that's on one side or the other, so
everybody's pretty neutral, but we're all really.

Speaker 7 (01:12:38):
Excited about the game in general.

Speaker 8 (01:12:39):
Right, So I like that kind of vibe that we're
all kind of But then during the game, you kind
of figure out who you're rooting for, Like I am
rooting for the chief Oh my god, I'm so sorry.

Speaker 7 (01:12:49):
I can't believe I just.

Speaker 1 (01:12:50):
Like on the show, I know I did.

Speaker 9 (01:12:52):
I did out loud.

Speaker 4 (01:12:54):
I did that.

Speaker 2 (01:12:55):
That's not who are afraid? O, men?

Speaker 1 (01:12:58):
You are? I have a reason.

Speaker 2 (01:13:01):
I we're afraid.

Speaker 8 (01:13:02):
I have a real reason. I have a real reason.
My uncle was a Chiefs fan and he passed away.
He was a big Derek Thomas fan, and he never got.

Speaker 7 (01:13:11):
To see them win a Super Bowl.

Speaker 8 (01:13:12):
So I'm carrying on that, like my mom's carrying on
that family legacy, like as a Chiefs fan. So I'm
I'm slightly rooting for them, but you know, I'm a
Saints fan. You known scenes like I bleed black and Gold? Okay,
do that makes sense?

Speaker 4 (01:13:26):
I mean, thank you?

Speaker 2 (01:13:27):
I did? Yeah, I did.

Speaker 4 (01:13:31):
In the ESPN radio show a few years ago when
the at the time, when the Chiefs lost to the Bucks,
we did a post game Super Bowl show, and my
producer at the time, a great guy, is a lifelunk,
diehard Chiefs fan, so he had to sit there through
the whole game and watch his favorite team lose and
then produce a radio show reacting to it. I always

(01:13:53):
looked at it. I was like, that's way more pro
than I could ever Ever.

Speaker 5 (01:13:57):
That's pain.

Speaker 7 (01:13:58):
That's painful.

Speaker 8 (01:14:00):
After the Suns lost the finals, I actually I think
I was an intern at the time and I had
to go and like everybody was just making me wear
it and it was devastating.

Speaker 3 (01:14:13):
You're dead to me, I'm out, i'mboutn't break, just like that.

Speaker 2 (01:14:22):
You are You're afraid.

Speaker 5 (01:14:24):
You don't say.

Speaker 8 (01:14:26):
Yeah, student, I know, Okay, Well, we're talking about violations,
so I think I hit one of the big violations.

Speaker 5 (01:14:32):
Is that?

Speaker 7 (01:14:32):
Is that true? Here's the thing that's ultimate violation.

Speaker 2 (01:14:36):
Like, here's the thing.

Speaker 3 (01:14:37):
It is an ultimate violation because if the Saints are
in the super Bowl or the Raiders are in the
super Bowl, and maybe there's a team that I would
have like an off I don't know, some trivial way
the reason why I would root for them if that
were true, which it wouldn't be, But if it were,

(01:15:01):
I wouldn't say out loud and stuff it.

Speaker 8 (01:15:06):
But we're a family, aren't the Fellas as a family?
Aren't we a family?

Speaker 3 (01:15:11):
Even more reason, it's not say out loud and fagged
your family to each other.

Speaker 5 (01:15:17):
This is.

Speaker 4 (01:15:19):
A little bit like when a girl comes in and says,
how does this dress look? And like even if you
know it makes you look fat, you don't say it.
You don't say like, wow, that's not flattering on you.

Speaker 5 (01:15:28):
You're just like I love it. If you love it, it's great.

Speaker 4 (01:15:30):
Like that's where we're like, we're a family, but we
can't you know, show the show.

Speaker 5 (01:15:34):
Family can't be that on us. Like there's a.

Speaker 4 (01:15:36):
Kid, I never look at your mom and thanksgiving me Like,
hey mo, turkey really sucked this year.

Speaker 5 (01:15:41):
Like even if you think it sucked this year, Like
that's a violation.

Speaker 7 (01:15:45):
I can't say that.

Speaker 2 (01:15:46):
I know for a fact.

Speaker 3 (01:15:48):
Mighty Mark never Go is a Bears fan, right, and
Mighty Mark will say he's rooting for the Eagles because
Mighty Mark is is true blue in that sense.

Speaker 8 (01:16:02):
This is true Eagles and the point in the point
point of you you know, betting standpoint. Yeah, I got
some money.

Speaker 2 (01:16:12):
There, But wait a second. It's a one point game.
It's a pick them.

Speaker 7 (01:16:15):
Basically, that's my kind of thing. I feel good about it.

Speaker 2 (01:16:19):
Wait so wait a second. You're rooting for the Chiefs
because of your.

Speaker 3 (01:16:24):
Uncle, yes, who passed yes, but you want the Eagles
to win because you bet the Eagles.

Speaker 5 (01:16:30):
Yes.

Speaker 7 (01:16:32):
Does that make sense?

Speaker 2 (01:16:33):
No, it makes no sense.

Speaker 8 (01:16:34):
And then I want to see Bradley Cooper really happy.

Speaker 7 (01:16:37):
Oh like a celebrity. Another violation.

Speaker 3 (01:16:39):
Huh oh that's a stone violation. I like actually, like
he's there we go. He's Actually he's a great guy.
I years ago when he was first like wedding crasher
days and all, and he's coming up. I did a
bunch of interviews with him and sit down and he's
actually a legit. The reason why I like him is

(01:17:00):
I mean, besides, he's a great talent. But the reason
why I like him for two reasons. One, he's legit.
He's not a Fu Gasey celebrity fan. He loves the Eagles.
He's true, he's and he knows the game. No understands
the game. He's a true football guy. So I respect that.

(01:17:21):
And he's got a chief steak business with my friend.

Speaker 4 (01:17:25):
Even better that you can actually introduce me to Bradley Cooper,
and I'm just now finding this out. You can make
Bradley Cooper and I friends, and I'm just not discovering that.

Speaker 5 (01:17:35):
Yeah, yeah, okay, now.

Speaker 2 (01:17:39):
Steak joint mobile thing in New Orleans.

Speaker 4 (01:17:43):
Yeah, he was making all of the clips on it,
and all I kept thinking he's.

Speaker 3 (01:17:47):
A partner is a guy named Danny who owns a
place called Angelo's and Danny's. I know Danny a hunter
ears and he's a great dude, and he makes the best.
He's a master baker. He makes the best roles ever.
His chief takes the best in the city. They're ridiculous baker.

Speaker 2 (01:18:07):
Uh, we got to take quick to you. We'll come
right back. Fellas on Fox.

Speaker 1 (01:18:13):
Fox Sports Radio Radio.

Speaker 3 (01:18:16):
Well, good morning, good morning, good morning, happy happy Super Saturday. Fellas,
Jason fitz Anthony Gargano coming alive from the ti rack
dot Com studios.

Speaker 2 (01:18:28):
Tyrack dot com. I'll help you get there.

Speaker 3 (01:18:30):
And I met selection fast, free shipping, free road as
a production over ten thousand recommended. It's dollars tire rack
dot Com the way tire buying should be. Fellas on
a Super Bowl edition. Uh, FITZI was out in New Orleans.
How was uh? How was the vibe compared to other years?

Speaker 4 (01:18:51):
FITZI quiet until yesterday? New Orleans was really quiet, honestly,
like it was. It was pretty stunning to me. But
what I learned, and I don't think I really realized
this because I've been to one other Super Bowl in
New Orleans years ago when I was just trying to
make it in this business, and my longtime friend John

(01:19:11):
McClain had got me a media passed so I could
go check out what media role was like. I went
into that I think on a Thursday or Friday, and
I was like, gosh, this this vibe is electric. Well,
for the most part, over the course of the week,
New Orleans was really quiet, and then as I'm getting
on my flight yesterday to fly back, all of a sudden,
I'm seeing every celebrity known a man doing like you
were talking about Bradley Cooper, who I'm still kind of

(01:19:33):
hurt that you haven't made us besties during the break,
but you know, Bradley Coeper out there feeding people cheese
steaks like none of that was going on, So it
was kind of amazing. They were still building the sets
on Tuesday for fan experience stuff all over downtown New Orleans,
all over Bourbon Street, all over Frenchmen. So it's kind
of crazy to me that it went from zero to

(01:19:54):
one hundred and now I have so much fomo that
I left early and didn't get to see all of
the famous people last night.

Speaker 3 (01:20:01):
Yeah, the big parties, you know, obviously, So the parties
start like Thursday is when there's a Wednesday usually.

Speaker 2 (01:20:10):
Are the the.

Speaker 3 (01:20:12):
Leaner ones, and then Thursday starts to amp it up,
and of course Friday and Saturday are ridiculous.

Speaker 2 (01:20:18):
I friend of mine is the same people that own
my company.

Speaker 3 (01:20:26):
Which is All City and we're in a half dozen
markets around the country where regional streaming sports and of
course Philly is won. And the people that run that
have us also own athletes first, right, they're the money
behind athletes first. And A one is the biggest football agency.

(01:20:50):
So they rented like four mansions in the Garden district
and are having a huge blowout. They had one last
night and they're having another one tonight. So they're having
the big parties.

Speaker 4 (01:21:06):
Yeah, and you can honestly see that. Like on Thursday
on Media Row, everybody was on time, and in fact,
people were early at seven am on Thursday.

Speaker 1 (01:21:15):
It was wild.

Speaker 4 (01:21:16):
Everybody like everything ran smoothly on Friday, man, because everybody
went out Thursday night until like two in the morning.

Speaker 5 (01:21:23):
On Friday. At seven thirty in the morning.

Speaker 4 (01:21:25):
It was amazing how each of these you know, players
that were coming through suddenly everybody was running a little
bit late, and everybody was wearing sunglasses and just felt rough,
you know, like it's it's amazing how even a bunch
of the people that I was there with they were like, yeah,
went to bed at two thirty and back here at six,
and I'm like, ah, that's a before a long day.

Speaker 5 (01:21:45):
That is just a tough pill to swallow. So yeah,
you could.

Speaker 4 (01:21:47):
See the the partying effect that was starting to actually
set in.

Speaker 5 (01:21:51):
And that's what makes New Orleans a great host city,
you know, that's what.

Speaker 2 (01:21:54):
Wow, that's why it's a great city. Man.

Speaker 3 (01:21:56):
You're right, it's why it's an awesome city. That's cool, man,
that's fun.

Speaker 2 (01:22:02):
It it is. It's a lot of great vibes to it.

Speaker 4 (01:22:05):
It felt like it was it's actually easier to like,
you know, last year in Vegas, everything was really centralized
in the casinos.

Speaker 5 (01:22:12):
This time, what's cool is people are.

Speaker 4 (01:22:14):
Just out on the street, like nobody's out on the
strip handing out cheese steaks, you know what I mean.
So like the whole Lady Gaga was out, you know,
just taking a picture behind one of the sets and
she's just walking around the middle of Bourbon.

Speaker 1 (01:22:24):
Street, Like that's that's what makes New Orleans.

Speaker 4 (01:22:27):
I think a cool spot is the walk up of
it and like the fact that the party is really
outdoors and not you know, some people are at Caesar's
and some people are at MGM. Like that's such a
different world, you know, So I see why it's more
magical than Vegas was.

Speaker 2 (01:22:41):
Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:22:42):
And here's the thing is as grand as the casinos are,
they are still antiseptic. Right, It's still like feels like
this man made thing, whereas a place like New Orleans
is completely authentic and real. And those streets are you know,

(01:23:06):
they speak to you, like I love it because it's
a real, soulful city. It's like it's like, you know,
there is a vibe to it. It's not like man made,
created city like Vegas is.

Speaker 2 (01:23:20):
Listen, it's awesome.

Speaker 3 (01:23:21):
Vegas is you know, Vegas is Vegas, right, But there's
something that I love. I love about New Orleans. I
think New Orleans is a great, great place to have
the Super Bowl. I think that's a that's a cool spot.

Speaker 4 (01:23:34):
Yeah, for sure, it is. Absolutely each city, each host
city has its own charm. Next years in San Francisco,
that will be brutal for trying to get around because
that's not an easy spot for the city. So maybe
really appreciate New Orleans for sure.

Speaker 2 (01:23:47):
That's right.

Speaker 3 (01:23:47):
Next year is in Santa Clara, right, yep, so what
they'll have everything all the I guess they'll do everything
in San Francisco and then go out there.

Speaker 4 (01:23:59):
Yes, So when I was there on the music side,
we did a Super Bowl in San Francisco. We played,
we played the pregame show, and so I checked all
this stuff out and yeah, everything's downtown San Francisco. But
then if you want team access, the team hotels are
out by Santa Clara, like, so you end up having
to drive an hour to get anywhere. It's really, you know,

(01:24:19):
substantially different as a whost city.

Speaker 2 (01:24:21):
What's your favorite host?

Speaker 4 (01:24:23):
I mean, I think seeing New Orleans as I left
was pretty pretty amazing. I mean, New Orleans is pretty special.
I think New Orleans does it, does it right. Their
convention center is also really nice. Like I think I
think New Orleans is probably the best city. Yeah, at
least until Nashville gets the Super Bowl in.

Speaker 5 (01:24:39):
A few years.

Speaker 2 (01:24:41):
Yeah, that would be interesting. That would be incredible.

Speaker 3 (01:24:43):
I mean the next one is you said San Francisco's
next year, then La then Atlanta.

Speaker 5 (01:24:53):
That it'll be an interesting host city.

Speaker 2 (01:24:55):
Yeah, that's the next that's the next ones. That's interesting.
I mean I like it.

Speaker 3 (01:25:05):
I like New Orleans is easily my favorite. Oh why
he's always good. I mean Florida, Miami is I think
Miami is probably number two, would be my second.

Speaker 2 (01:25:16):
I like Vegas. I thought, you know, Vegas was unique.

Speaker 3 (01:25:19):
The good thing about Vegas and you're from there, Fitci
is that I felt like Vegas put its stamp on it.

Speaker 5 (01:25:30):
Yeah, much like New Orleans.

Speaker 4 (01:25:33):
Like New Orleans is like, this is a New Orleans
super Bowl, And I think Vegas did a very good
job of this is a Vegas vibe of a super Bowl.

Speaker 3 (01:25:40):
Like I want this city vibe to it, right, Like
that to me is important. Ye know, when's in Texas,
give me a Texas vibe?

Speaker 2 (01:25:50):
Right.

Speaker 3 (01:25:52):
Atlanta does a good job with big events because I
feel like there's like great Southern hospitality.

Speaker 4 (01:26:01):
I mean the college football championship games that I've been
to in Atlanta, they have always been spectacular.

Speaker 2 (01:26:06):
Yeah yeah, yeah, that's a great. That's a great one.

Speaker 3 (01:26:11):
There's always that's always been a fun place. I covered
a lot of torn like at CUAA tournaments too, and
you know, they're.

Speaker 2 (01:26:19):
Always doing nice job there. You know, it does a
nice job.

Speaker 3 (01:26:23):
It's a it's a strange city because it doesn't have
the bigness of you know, Midwest like Chicago, right, which
is so that's such a distinct vibe. But I've always
liked Indianapolis. I think Indianapolis does a nice job. It
just doesn't have a flavor to it.

Speaker 4 (01:26:44):
Indianapolis does a great job. I think it hosts, but
you're right, like especially because they have underground tunnels so
even when it's cold, you can walk around and get everywhere.
Like I love Indianapolis as it's a.

Speaker 3 (01:26:55):
Great and the people are I love the people there
like that. I've always had great experiences there. It just
the only thing is the city. I just don't know
the city, Like what's the city? What's the distinct piece
of that city? Like you know the big ones like
La right, Miami, New Orleans, Vegas, Like there's distinctness about

(01:27:21):
those cities.

Speaker 4 (01:27:22):
Yeah, no, you're right about that, Like what is the
Dallas from Cocktail Sauce can't be the thing that makes
everybody really freak out about a city like that.

Speaker 5 (01:27:30):
You can't that.

Speaker 4 (01:27:31):
That can't be what you're known for. It is known
for like releasepleasies from cocktail sauce.

Speaker 5 (01:27:36):
I got it. I don't know.

Speaker 4 (01:27:37):
But Indy does a great job, like the Scouting Combine
every year they do a really good time.

Speaker 3 (01:27:41):
Yeah, I'm actually looking forward to because I'm going to
the Combine, So I'm looking forward to, uh to go
in there. And they do a great job with it.
They do, and I love that. The people are always
really hospitable. They're friendly and helpful and the whole thing.

Speaker 2 (01:27:57):
Uh. So you're you're still up in the air about
how you're gonna watch.

Speaker 5 (01:28:01):
Yeah, I think, uh, I think the move for me
is probably to watch at home.

Speaker 2 (01:28:05):
You know.

Speaker 4 (01:28:05):
That's just it's such an easy opportunity to just watch
and soak it in, maybe have a couple of buddies
over that. I know we're equally interested in the same same.

Speaker 3 (01:28:15):
All right, So you're gonna do the same thing with
you don't want you don't want the ancillaries.

Speaker 5 (01:28:22):
No, I don't want. I don't wanna.

Speaker 4 (01:28:24):
I don't want to have to yell and scream over again.
I just don't want to have to like I don't
want to have to talk over talking, and my social
battery sometimes during football games gets really low on the
first to admit it, like I don't you mentioned, you know,
sister in law talking about Disney, Like I don't want
to have that conversation in the third quarter, like I
I want to just be able to sit there and
soak in what I'm watching. So you know, I don't

(01:28:46):
really care about the Dorito's commercial, Like it could be funny,
but once once we see it, then it's like, all right,
move about the cabin, like so, yeah, I don't I
think for the Wings pizza and then you know, Wings
pizza and might eat a little bit of junk food
and enjoy enjoy a little bit of splurge day in
the Super Bowl.

Speaker 3 (01:29:02):
Come on, yeah, move about the cabin. Oh that's great,
that's great. We're uh Soal'll be working Briefredo Brie works right.

Speaker 2 (01:29:17):
What do you doing, Mark.

Speaker 3 (01:29:19):
Lighty, Mark our of our five production staff, what are
you gonna be doing?

Speaker 7 (01:29:26):
I would more than likely just be at home.

Speaker 9 (01:29:29):
I'll watch a little bit of it just to sit
I would rather either go to a friend's house or
just have maybe one person over so that could have
someone to talk with during the game and just you know,
go back and forth.

Speaker 5 (01:29:44):
Game.

Speaker 3 (01:29:44):
Right, you're a football man. You don't want all the nonsense.

Speaker 9 (01:29:48):
I mean, if it was a party and you know,
there's a bunch of people there, and like if it
was an office or just a bunch of friends go together,
I would find a place to sit so I can
watch the game. I don't want a lot of stuff
going on. I want to be able to see the
game and hear the game. Yes, but that's that's like

(01:30:09):
my kind of thing. Either just with one buddy with me,
or I go to someone's house and watch and only.

Speaker 7 (01:30:15):
A few people. Because you want to see the game.

Speaker 9 (01:30:17):
You want to concentrate on the game so you can
see the strategy and kind of figure out what's gonna happen,
because you want to be in it. And they say,
you know, you're not gonna put on pads and hit people,
but you want to see it. You want to feel that.
You want to be able to see the strategies, see
it coming, and just and enjoy. Hopefully you're happy at

(01:30:38):
the end.

Speaker 2 (01:30:40):
Yeah, you're a football guy. That's it.

Speaker 3 (01:30:42):
Like, that's it. You're a football dude, Mark. I appreciate
that breeze too. She's true, she's true blue football definitely,
she's afraid of She's true.

Speaker 2 (01:30:54):
She's true football fan.

Speaker 9 (01:30:55):
She loves the game.

Speaker 8 (01:30:56):
She loves surrounded by like nine TVs.

Speaker 7 (01:30:59):
Yes, I will be here working.

Speaker 2 (01:31:01):
Yes does well.

Speaker 3 (01:31:06):
Scott Scott's our big balls at Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 2 (01:31:09):
Will Scott send over food?

Speaker 7 (01:31:13):
I think that is the plan. I think we usually
do some pizza.

Speaker 8 (01:31:17):
We don't do I don't know why they never want
to add some wings, Like I don't know why we
never add get some protein. We usually just get the pizza,
which I'm very very appreciative of. But yes, we usually
get untunately.

Speaker 4 (01:31:27):
Though, like La Pizzas trash and so la pizza and
La wings.

Speaker 8 (01:31:35):
We have a New York's place up the street. It's Maulberry.
They say it's from New York kind of style.

Speaker 4 (01:31:41):
Okay, to pizza fame is that you've got sort of
kind of New York style pizza.

Speaker 8 (01:31:48):
I don't know how to say it, because you know,
I feel like you're gonna like not like give me
the credit.

Speaker 5 (01:31:53):
I'm just saying.

Speaker 9 (01:31:57):
We had a previous producer Ethan who used to he
would find a pizza place out here for us and
he would buy something for us at night. So there
is a good place if he loves it. He's a
Philadelphia guy, then it was a good place.

Speaker 2 (01:32:14):
Yeah he was.

Speaker 3 (01:32:18):
He's a sport Yeah, but I I, I don't know,
you know, I don't know, FITZI I mean, how good
could it be?

Speaker 5 (01:32:26):
Right?

Speaker 4 (01:32:26):
I mean there's look, I'm living. I'm living in the
hotbed here at Connecticut. Like when I moved up here
and I was like, what pizza Capital World? Yeah, what's
the good food? Everyone's like pizza and wings And I'm like,
pizza and wings can't really be it. And then you know,
I went to J Tims, which has won the Food
TV network or for the award for Best Wings in
the Country multiple times, and I understand why they're amazing.

(01:32:47):
And then the pizza everywhere app here spectacular, Like so,
you know.

Speaker 3 (01:32:51):
I'm sure, what's I never had those wings? What makes
those ways? Because I went like, a great wing is great?
Is like heavenly?

Speaker 2 (01:33:01):
What makes that? What makes them great?

Speaker 5 (01:33:04):
So J Tim's a they're they're like really big wings.

Speaker 4 (01:33:07):
But also, uh, they do dirt styles so basically it
gets sauce and fried and then resauced and refried and
then sauce again. So by the time you get it
like there is just there are layers to the flavor
on it that are so snack.

Speaker 5 (01:33:21):
It's just us. It's the whole.

Speaker 4 (01:33:24):
And then like the sauces that they have, like they
have a sweet tie chili that is just man, it
is good. So, like you know, obviously buffalo is always good.
But like I I really thought, how good can a
wing be? And then I started having wings in Connecticut
and I was like, Okay, I get it. I I
now understand why Connecticut, Connecticut Connecticut idiots like whatever you
call Connecticut people, I now understand why they're proud of the.

Speaker 5 (01:33:46):
Wings up here.

Speaker 3 (01:33:46):
Well, they're peach is ridiculous. The peach is unbelievable. It
really is great pizza. Now you know it is true
the buffalo that is legit, like the buffalo true buffalo
wings are unbelievable.

Speaker 8 (01:34:05):
Yeah, boneless, Like where you guys stand on that that's.

Speaker 2 (01:34:12):
Its Cutlet exactly?

Speaker 7 (01:34:13):
Thank you think.

Speaker 4 (01:34:17):
Yeah, look I think they have it's kind of like
a McDonald's hamburger isn't really a hamburger.

Speaker 5 (01:34:21):
It's its own food group.

Speaker 4 (01:34:22):
And sometimes you want that, like, I'm good if sometimes
you want a boneless wing, like if that's really what
you're feeling. But like when I say I'm having wings,
it's not They're not boneless. No, I want flats, not sticks.
I want I want flats where I can rip them
apart and just like chew the meat off the Dude.

Speaker 3 (01:34:38):
I just had this conversation flats versus drumsticks. They were
talking about it at work, and I gotta tell you,
I was stunned by the alien nature of the drumstick.
People like to me, the flats are the greatest because

(01:34:59):
the are always cooked perfectly. It's it's more fun to eat.
It's just a it's just a it's a way better
experience than the stick.

Speaker 5 (01:35:13):
I'll actually pay extra to get all flats. Yeah, let
me pay for all flats. I will pay for all flats.

Speaker 3 (01:35:18):
Yeah, I dude, I'm with you. But you'll be surprised.
We're in the minority. I think there's more stick people
than flat people.

Speaker 4 (01:35:27):
That's not American, you know. In my America, we go flats.
You rip the flat apart of the edge at the end,
so that it becomes two separate pieces. And that way
you can dip each of the halves in respective sauce
and then you can just take it there. And by
the way, blue cheese not ranch. I don't want ranch
on my wings. I want blue cheese.

Speaker 2 (01:35:47):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:35:48):
I mean, I'm not a big either or but I
would go blue cheese over the ranch. I'm I'm not
a big you know, saucer dipper, Okay.

Speaker 2 (01:35:57):
Like I like it sauce or cooked in and that's it.

Speaker 3 (01:35:59):
But I feel you and I and all I ask you, Brie,
are you drumsticks are flats?

Speaker 7 (01:36:07):
I like I prefer flats?

Speaker 2 (01:36:09):
Okay, I bet you Mark, I'm going.

Speaker 7 (01:36:12):
To plead ignorance.

Speaker 9 (01:36:13):
I'm not sure what you mean right then?

Speaker 3 (01:36:16):
So you know the drums the little drumstick in the wings, yeah,
or the other ones which are the flat ones that
where you break them apart to eat.

Speaker 7 (01:36:24):
I would rather break it apart, okay.

Speaker 3 (01:36:26):
So you like the flat still, so you're you're you
guys are with us in the flat in the flat world.

Speaker 8 (01:36:32):
I'm just very anti boneless, Like I can't I can't
like go out to eat with someone if they open
if they order boneless.

Speaker 7 (01:36:38):
I just I don't respect it. I just don't believe
in it.

Speaker 2 (01:36:42):
I respect that, right do I It's a fougazy item.

Speaker 8 (01:36:45):
Their chicken tenders call them what they are and just
accept it that that's what they are.

Speaker 7 (01:36:48):
They're not wings, they're not.

Speaker 3 (01:36:51):
I agree you wings, you need a bone. That's your
spot on. I think I'm with you, thank you. And
the tender is really a cut, like a chicken cutlet.

Speaker 4 (01:37:02):
I don't discreet that at all, you know which, And
sometimes I want like sometimes that's what I want, like
super easy, you know, like it's just a different food group.

Speaker 5 (01:37:09):
You know.

Speaker 4 (01:37:10):
If I'm having wings, I want a bucket of flats.

Speaker 2 (01:37:14):
Yeah, yeah, dude, I'm with you. I'm with you now.

Speaker 3 (01:37:18):
I think I'm gonna make chicken cutlets, not a boy.

Speaker 2 (01:37:22):
My grandmother used to make these chicken cutlets.

Speaker 3 (01:37:25):
So she had this frying pan, you know, the cast
eye and the old cast iron frying pans, right. I
think she bought it from Italy, this pan, and she
never washed it, and I guess you can't wash. I
don't know, but anyway, she never washed it. I don't
know what she did with it, but whatever, it was,

(01:37:46):
this freaking pan. The way she used to pound out
the chicken cutlet, and she breaded it right. She made
this thing to use the olive oil. This thing, this
cutlets work to this day. I've never had cutlet like that.
I still can't find it. I can't make it. I've
tried to make the cutlet the way she did it.

(01:38:07):
I can't do it. It was Fitzy, you and went
nuts over the cutlet. It was just a beautiful cutlet.

Speaker 4 (01:38:13):
I mean, that's where cast iron is undefeated to a
perfect cast iron seasoned pan undfeated.

Speaker 2 (01:38:21):
Yeah, now you know, you're right.

Speaker 3 (01:38:24):
She used to get I don't know if you like
the well, the hot peppers, oh yeah, but she would
she in the cellar. She would hang hot peppers and
they would dry out right, she'd hang them, and then.

Speaker 2 (01:38:40):
She would fry them in olive oil.

Speaker 3 (01:38:44):
And you'd walk into the house and you'd start coughing
because it's in the air.

Speaker 2 (01:38:49):
These things were so ridiculous.

Speaker 3 (01:38:52):
She would have the cutlet with the pepper, and she
also would do it with it like a like a palm,
with a sauce gravy like a marinara and a and
some woodsandella and w a role.

Speaker 2 (01:39:09):
That was just ridiculous. She knew how to do it.
That was my Uh, that was my grandmother. Uh Sunday.
Her name was Dominica. She was, she was, She was
a cool lady.

Speaker 3 (01:39:23):
Anyway, now I'm thinking about the Eagles because she was
a big Eagles fan.

Speaker 2 (01:39:27):
So I think about these people.

Speaker 3 (01:39:28):
That's the beauty of football and sports, right is that
the people that helped raise us, that love the game
like we bonded with them over this stuff. It brings
us all together, which is what I love. We're the

Speaker 2 (01:40:43):
FITZI, I gotta ask you about this.

Speaker 3 (01:40:48):
So Luca gets traded, and I just don't understand. I
don't get it. I don't understand the trade. I think
it's one of the like hideous trades of all time,
like complete malpractice from a GM. How do you trade

(01:41:10):
for a thirty one year old big who's always hurt.

Speaker 5 (01:41:14):
I don't disagree with you.

Speaker 4 (01:41:15):
I think the only thing that continues to stick in
my mind is I don't believe the MAVs are stupid,
and so they had to look and just finally tell themselves, hey,
there is no wake up call that will get Luca
where we need Luca to be. They have to believe
that for them to trade him in conference, like they

(01:41:36):
are basically saying for all the people that are saying, well,
this will be a wake up call and now Luca
will take his conditioning differently and Lebron can get through
to him. If the MAVs believed anybody could get through
to him, they would keep him. I think what they're
telling you is they genuinely believe that he's going to
be Dowe not well conditioned, and he's not going to
be somebody that can rely on forever. Now, that doesn't

(01:41:58):
justify not not exploring better market value for the trade
in my opinion, But I do think there has to
be a moment where, you know, if you turn around,
if you're dating a girl, and you turn around, you're like,
you know what, I'm gonna introduce you to my best friend.
You guys should date. You got to know she's seven
layers crazy at that point. Like you, if you're pawing
in her off on somebody else and you're still going

(01:42:20):
to see her all the time, you got to be
confident she's seventh and the seventh layer crazy, right, Like
I think that the maps are confident that nothing will
wake Luca up and that he's going to waste his career, now,
are they right?

Speaker 3 (01:42:32):
I ask you a question, though, Yeah, I just let
me ask you a question by giving you these numbers
in order set This is last year seventy thirty seven
and a half thirty three point nine, nine point two
nine point eight. That's seventy games, thirty seven and a

(01:42:54):
half minutes per game, thirty three excuse me, almost thirty
four points per game nine boards and.

Speaker 2 (01:43:04):
Of says.

Speaker 3 (01:43:06):
Cares about Dewey coming into the season for real, Like
are we kidding ourselves? So like you like you're you're
gonna be high in bighty because the guy's Dewie and
al who gives you crap?

Speaker 2 (01:43:19):
The guy?

Speaker 4 (01:43:22):
Yeah, but for three hundred and forty five million dollars
if you never think he's gonna win you a championship.

Speaker 3 (01:43:27):
Well maybe a parent, maybe a parent with somebody that can.
Then you got a pair with somebody other than Kyrie
irving that that's not that's not a.

Speaker 5 (01:43:43):
Plan.

Speaker 3 (01:43:44):
There's ridiculously stupid, Like I'm gonna have two guards and
build around that.

Speaker 2 (01:43:50):
And I liked what they did with some of their bigs,
but that they didn't fit.

Speaker 5 (01:43:56):
I agree with everything you just said.

Speaker 4 (01:43:58):
I'm just saying that that's some level the MAVs had
to look around and say this guy ain't it, Like
we're so confident he's not it, then we're just gonna
let him go.

Speaker 3 (01:44:07):
And I think they are stupid, because I gotta tell you,
I think he is it.

Speaker 2 (01:44:14):
I mean, and I don't know, I don't know what more.

Speaker 3 (01:44:18):
Again, if you put him in the right and build
the right team, around him? What does he do pay
just because you know the luck the way you wanted
the luck? Who cares? Look at his game? Watch him play.

Speaker 5 (01:44:33):
Now.

Speaker 4 (01:44:34):
But so the couple of things here is like you
need somebody that's gonna be more active on both ends
of the court at some point.

Speaker 5 (01:44:40):
I think that would be part of their argument.

Speaker 4 (01:44:41):
And then the other part is like if you're gonna
have to pay him three hundred and forty five million,
I think where the dopingess becomes an issue is like, man,
is that CAF gonna turn into Achilles?

Speaker 2 (01:44:50):
Is that?

Speaker 4 (01:44:51):
Like if according to the reports that I saw that,
you know, he's weighing in at two hundred and seventy
five pounds, Like that's like there is there is.

Speaker 2 (01:45:00):
It was deweie. Charles Barkley was dewie.

Speaker 4 (01:45:04):
Yeah, but like it's such a different world now. Like
I'm just saying, would you, like's.

Speaker 2 (01:45:09):
Not Charles's dewie?

Speaker 4 (01:45:11):
I mean, but are we would you would you be
concerned giving him three hundred and forty five million dollars
knowing that he doesn't.

Speaker 3 (01:45:17):
I mean, I'm sorry, I I you know, no, I'm
I'm I got a talent like that, and I don't care. Yeah,
he's not a great defender, it doesn't matter. I don't care.
That's why I have role players well as someone that
could dominate the offensive floor the way, the way he
sees the floor, the way he could shoot it, the
way he could pass it, the way he could board. No,

(01:45:41):
I'm good. I'll take my chances and have you know,
get a role player can defend.

Speaker 4 (01:45:47):
My biggest issue wasn't necessarily that they traded him, because
I do sit here and say, man, they must they
must see something. They must see something that they're out on.
My biggest issue is that they didn't take their time
to run it around the market, like I just cannot
believe that.

Speaker 1 (01:46:02):
Well, that's that's obvious.

Speaker 2 (01:46:04):
Yeah like that.

Speaker 3 (01:46:06):
Yeah, I'm with you, Like that's that is the is
the lead, right, the fact that you trade him, if
you trade him for some monster hall, I go, all right, well,
you know, I mean I get it. You want to
move him, and you believe that he's you know, everything

(01:46:26):
you said about his being in shape and the long
term and the contract on the other side of it,
it's going to be a bad deal, all right, you know,
but look, you got seventeen first round picks and you
know whatever, young players like okay, like you trade him
the okay, see you or you had some monster hall.

Speaker 2 (01:46:48):
But that's the point that I can't get over, is what.

Speaker 3 (01:46:51):
You just said Anthony Davis at thirty one off injured
Anthony Davis. I mean I was lamenting that they could
trade a be for him.

Speaker 4 (01:47:04):
Yeah, I mean, God's that's crazy. Like the Anthony Davis
thing just doesn't make any sense to me. Like even
if you made yourself better, you know, when he's healthy,
I just don't. I don't trust any of that. I
don't trust any of that. And I'm just trying to
figure out if you're the MAVs, at least give yourself.

Speaker 5 (01:47:26):
The opportunity to turn around and say, hey.

Speaker 4 (01:47:28):
We're going to compete for a championship right now, we're
gonna get rid of Luca, but we're gonna put ourselves
in the championship conversation. They didn't do that. So now
they got older. They are old at this point, and
I don't think.

Speaker 5 (01:47:40):
That they're ahead of where everybody else is going to be.

Speaker 4 (01:47:43):
So I don't have great expectations for them in any
any way, shape or form.

Speaker 5 (01:47:47):
I think history's going to look back at this is
a terrible trade, I do.

Speaker 2 (01:47:50):
I agree with you. Yeah, I don't get it.

Speaker 3 (01:47:53):
By the way, can I answer this other question, why
would the NBA make the trade deadline during super Bowl Week?

Speaker 4 (01:48:02):
Hmm, you're right, I mean it doesn't make any sense.

Speaker 1 (01:48:07):
I think leagues, leagues lack self awareness.

Speaker 2 (01:48:09):
Across the board.

Speaker 4 (01:48:11):
It's like, just just step back and know what you like,
know what you are, and know how you can maximize
whatever you get. And so yeah, I think that it's
absolutely asinine to get in the way of super Bowl
Week in any way, shape or form, because to your point,
like something a huge strait, one of the most landmark
trades that you'll like name recognition trades we've ever seen

(01:48:32):
in NBA history, and it got buried behind super Bowl
talk for days. And that's just that's not good for
the sport. That's not good for the promotion. Like we
talked about casuals earlier, like you didn't you didn't serve
any of the casuals.

Speaker 3 (01:48:45):
With that, No, no casuals. And yeah you had other
stuff like Jimmy Butler. You know, people were talking about
KD being on the move and you do it. Now,
WoT you take that's the highest stupidity.

Speaker 2 (01:49:03):
I don't understand it.

Speaker 3 (01:49:04):
I don't get that league. I'm sorry, I don't understand
what Adam Silver's doing. I just don't get it. I
look at it and go If you just be patient
and wait, you'll have the sports landscape to yourself. Like

(01:49:25):
if you're in the NBA right, think about it. You
have as soon as the Super Bowl's over. Yeah, you know,
the parade or whatever it is. You get that, but
that's dark until March madness. You own that whole time.
And even when March Madness comes, it's just an initial
selection Sunday in the first couple of weeks of the tournament,

(01:49:48):
and then you regain it and when baseball starts, but
you're still there until the draft, and then it's you
again for the playoffs.

Speaker 2 (01:49:56):
So why you just be patient? I don't understand it.

Speaker 5 (01:50:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:50:01):
I think it speaks to just not not thinking things
through and having the ego. We said earlier, Egan that
pride is the down follow me in. I mean the
amount of ego that comes into this word. It's like, no,
we do, we do, We don't get out of anybody
else's way. You can do that if you're the NFL.
You can't do that if you're anybody else.

Speaker 2 (01:50:19):
Yeah, No, you're you're spot on my brother. Uh.

Speaker 3 (01:50:23):
Next hour, the brain will join us and we're gonna
go through a bunch of Super Bowl props. We'll play
the game out ex and O wait lots to get
to where the fella is.

Speaker 2 (01:50:34):
Right here on Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 3 (01:50:38):
Fellas from the ti raq dot com Studios, Jason Fitz,
Anthony Gargano. Let me ask you, Rick, if I ask
you favorite Super Bowls. So if I go and I
say to you, you know what I'm gonna do.

Speaker 2 (01:50:55):
I wanna play a little game with you.

Speaker 3 (01:50:58):
I'm gonna give you from this Super Bowl passed, all right?

Speaker 2 (01:51:03):
And then you tell me what you remember from the game.
How was that?

Speaker 5 (01:51:09):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:51:10):
All right?

Speaker 3 (01:51:11):
So if I give you last year, what sticks out
from last year?

Speaker 4 (01:51:23):
I'm trying to think of anything sticks out from last year.
Nothing really sticks out to me from last year. The overtime,
overtime decision.

Speaker 5 (01:51:30):
To what to do with the ball. I guess that's
what will always stick out to me on that Super Bowl.

Speaker 3 (01:51:35):
Yeah, because it was interesting because the Niners, Like this year,
the Niners were better than Kansas City on their fronts
on the in their defense. I mean, I mean, they
were the better team although they quarterback, coach and defensive coordinator.

Speaker 4 (01:51:53):
I mean, if you think about what that tells us,
and that these games come down to one of two plays,
even when you're better than Kansas City and you got
to make the right decisions, you know, I still don't
have any problem with the way they did it and
overtime everybody else did. I thought, I thought I kind
of understood the logic, but man's that's always going to

(01:52:14):
be something. You gotta imagine that forty nine Ers players
and Kyle Shanahan will forever wonder, you.

Speaker 5 (01:52:19):
Know, how they could have played that differently.

Speaker 4 (01:52:21):
It's a lot like the end of the Seattle Patriots
Super Bowl.

Speaker 5 (01:52:25):
It was just better. It was just better, you know.

Speaker 3 (01:52:27):
Yeah, yeah, what do you remember from the first game
thirty eight thirty five between these two Arizona two years ago?

Speaker 4 (01:52:41):
The controversy on the holding call, right, Like, yeah, I mean,
that's always going to be and again I thought they
got it right. I don't think it was a big deal,
but that's every I mean, that's just now you think
about those narratives and my god, like if there's a.

Speaker 1 (01:52:56):
I truly I beg Paul Gods.

Speaker 4 (01:53:00):
To not let this game be decided by a back
call like or a questionable call or how could you
call that in that situation, or a favorable call like.
I just don't want the rest to be part of
the conversation on Monday, and they certainly were last time
these two teams went.

Speaker 3 (01:53:14):
Yeah. So I got a couple of things off that game.
The field, Remember the field, how bad it was?

Speaker 4 (01:53:20):
Lick slicker, it's not on our door, knob, I don't
know what that The.

Speaker 3 (01:53:24):
Sod father was the guy responsible for the field, who's
a Kansas City guy, and he slowed down the Eagles
pants rushers.

Speaker 2 (01:53:36):
God, and do you remember.

Speaker 3 (01:53:41):
This was one of the most amazing things. Mahomes gets
hurt before halftime. It looks like a high ackle spring. Yeah,
it's like, oh my god, he's done. I remember thinking,
how's he going to play? He was gepping around and
then he comes out in the second half like he

(01:54:03):
was blessed by Padre Pio.

Speaker 5 (01:54:06):
Yep, Padre.

Speaker 4 (01:54:08):
It must be the name of the ejection they gave
him at halftime, because you could tell like he came
out a different man on that one.

Speaker 3 (01:54:14):
Any ebbut moving left and right, scrambling, diving.

Speaker 4 (01:54:20):
It was unbelievable, absolutely, Like, you know, those are the
moments that I do. Part of me always thinks that
momes it's a bit of a drama queen with some
of that stuff. It's like, oh, I'm so hurt, and
then all of a sudden, he's not hurt anymore.

Speaker 3 (01:54:34):
Yes, yes, you're right, you're right, But but that's time
I actually thought I believed hurt, you know, all right?
How about the one before that, which is Rams Bagels.

Speaker 2 (01:54:51):
So fun?

Speaker 4 (01:54:52):
That's someone that OBJ was going off in the beginning, right, Yeah, yeah,
Like I remember.

Speaker 2 (01:54:59):
That twenty three twenty Colley.

Speaker 5 (01:55:04):
I don't even I didn't remember the game was that close? Yeah, wow,
they all sort of.

Speaker 4 (01:55:09):
Blend together at that point. I remember O'Dell Beckham Junior
going off at the beginning of the game, and I
remember the halftime show of that one said earlier, Yeah,
Cooper Cup went nuts, Like, yeah, I really thought the
Bengals could win that game.

Speaker 5 (01:55:23):
Man.

Speaker 3 (01:55:24):
How about Tampa Bay thirty one Chiefs nine.

Speaker 4 (01:55:29):
Yeah, I just remember that offensive line being an abject disaster,
and that was the thing we didn't predict that Brady Nope,
we should We should have known that offensive line just
got crushed and Mahomes was running for his life the
entire stinking game.

Speaker 3 (01:55:45):
How about Kansas City thirty one, San Francisco twenty.

Speaker 4 (01:55:52):
Yeah, I mean that's the imagine how differently we would
talk about Jimmy G. Now you know, had a fourth
quarter leading Super Bowl and didn't get it done.

Speaker 5 (01:56:03):
Like that's just wild.

Speaker 4 (01:56:04):
Like Jimmy G his entire legacy changed because his defense
couldn't get a stop in the fourth quarter.

Speaker 5 (01:56:11):
It's crazy.

Speaker 2 (01:56:13):
Newng Win thirteen rams three.

Speaker 5 (01:56:19):
That was an ugly football game.

Speaker 1 (01:56:21):
Yeah, Like even people.

Speaker 4 (01:56:23):
That love defense that were like, no, no, no, you should
kind of appreciate your defensive matchup. Nope, that was an
ugly damn football game. I don't care what anybody says.

Speaker 2 (01:56:32):
Eagles forty one Patriots thirty three.

Speaker 4 (01:56:36):
I mean that's always going to be Nick Foles, right,
like that's the Philly Special. Like that was such a
mad Like that's one of the most magical super Bowls
I've ever watched, because it just wow.

Speaker 3 (01:56:48):
Because I'm thinking, while you know, I'm an Eagles fan,
so of course I'm going to find I don't want
to believe that. But the fact that you said it's
one of the most magical Super Bowls you've ever watched,
that meets.

Speaker 4 (01:57:00):
Up that that game was a true Disney movie like that.

Speaker 5 (01:57:04):
That's what it was. Everything about that.

Speaker 2 (01:57:07):
Was Brady, even to the end of the game.

Speaker 3 (01:57:10):
Brady's got the ball strip Sat Brandy Graham, who's going
to play on Sunday. By the way, Fellas Big Hour Ahead,

Fits he Ultimately, how you feel right now?

Speaker 4 (01:58:32):
I feel like flu I feel like this this game
is going to be epic, I really do. I feel
like this is going to be a great football. Okay,
And as much as everybody seems to have fatigues all
of it, at some point, can't we separate all those
conversations and just acknowledge that these were throughout the course
of the entire season. They were two of the four

(01:58:54):
best teams in the NFL. Right, they were two of
the best teams week in and week out. They were
two They are two teams that come in really with
a purpose and a focus that I think is incredible.

Speaker 5 (01:59:05):
Like I don't know that.

Speaker 4 (01:59:07):
I always feel like the super Bowl is going to
be a great game, and this just feels like it
is going to be a great game. The chess match
of the coaching adjustments is going to be absolutely epic.
And that to me is somebody that falls in love
with what football is. This is the type of super
Bowl I mean, was gonna fall in love with.

Speaker 3 (01:59:25):
Yeah, it's funny you said that. I feel kind of
the same way. I feel the same way. I think
it's gonna be a great game. I'm fascinated by the
chess match. Ultimately, I think the Eagles can pull away
and win and give a little margin at the end.
And I don't know, I mean, maybe it's just the

(01:59:46):
easy way out. It's the Barkley, It's Barkley's birthday. He's
had such a great year. The fact that he could
be the MVP is just the neat and perfect bow
of the season.

Speaker 4 (02:00:00):
Yeah, I mean, isn't the storybook ending of this actually
Saquon going off for two hundred yards in an MVP, Like,
isn't that for all the records that he didn't go for,
for all of the moments that he did what was
best for the team, put himself, put the team ahead

(02:00:20):
of himself. To me, the best moment here, the best
thing that we could possibly get is Saquon saying I'm
going to Disney World. Like, that's such an incredible story
for him, And to finally get the opportunity to win
and be away from the Giants and the dysfunction that
comes with it.

Speaker 5 (02:00:38):
I just think that's incredible.

Speaker 4 (02:00:39):
For somebody that has worked so hard for so long
to finally get this dream in this moment, and I
think it's one of the coolest Super Bowl stories we're
sending in a minute, like it really is.

Speaker 2 (02:00:50):
Yeah, unless you're Joe Change.

Speaker 5 (02:00:55):
Right right, right right, Yeah, that's fair.

Speaker 2 (02:00:59):
Hey, rook, quick, let's go back.

Speaker 3 (02:01:01):
We're doing the Super Bowl, rememberances real quick, let's go
through it. We did Eagles forty one, Patriots thirty three.
You called it magical, I called it heavenly New England
thirty four, Falcons twenty eight.

Speaker 4 (02:01:24):
Remember where I was sitting sitting at a buddy's house
and watching twenty eight three just become something different and
just screaming, run the ball, Run the ball. I just unbelievable.
For everybody that you know, we all yell and scream
at the TV during Super Bowl, So that one might
be the most frustrating super Bowl I've ever seen in

(02:01:45):
my life.

Speaker 2 (02:01:47):
Dude, it was. That was amazing.

Speaker 3 (02:01:50):
I still can't believe you can remember the breakdowns after that,
Like if they just bled X amount of seconds off
the clock before they snapped the ball, Brady won't have
any time.

Speaker 2 (02:02:03):
It's unbelievable, dude.

Speaker 5 (02:02:07):
How do you let that happen? Like it just how
do you let that happen.

Speaker 4 (02:02:11):
It's that's just unbelievable, Like you just you think about
twenty eight to three.

Speaker 5 (02:02:19):
That's just the sort of we.

Speaker 4 (02:02:20):
Talked earlier about how heartbreaking it is to lose the
Super Bowl, Like you never get over that.

Speaker 5 (02:02:23):
Atlanta fans will never get over that.

Speaker 2 (02:02:25):
No, even though that might be the worst loss in
the history of losses.

Speaker 1 (02:02:29):
Yeah, although.

Speaker 3 (02:02:34):
Twenty eight to twenty four New England twenty eight twenty
four of a Seattle, dude, I mean, just run the ball.

Speaker 5 (02:02:44):
Yep, it's crazy. I was in the state.

Speaker 2 (02:02:48):
Alcolm Butler play. Oh my god, I.

Speaker 4 (02:02:51):
Was in the stadium watching that game, and I'll never
forget when he dropped back to throw. The stadium for
that split second got so quiet because I don't think
anybody realized what had happened. So there was this split
second where you could hear a pin drop and then
just an absolute explosion of energy.

Speaker 5 (02:03:10):
I'll never forget.

Speaker 4 (02:03:11):
Like it is, it was insane and one of the
craziest play calls in NFL his three and you know,
also insane that it just speaks to the greatness of
Belichick that he knew it was coming. They practiced that
play and knew it was coming, Like, that's just insane
to me.

Speaker 2 (02:03:27):
Yeah, it is. It really is.

Speaker 3 (02:03:30):
The one before that we missed Denver twenty four Carolina ten.

Speaker 4 (02:03:35):
That was Peyton, Yeah, I mean it was sort of Peyton,
but it was mostly that defense.

Speaker 3 (02:03:43):
Yeah. The do you remember was that Cam? Was that
that cam and the fumble von Miller And remember Cam
looks at the ball and does it go after it?

Speaker 5 (02:03:58):
Yep, And yeah, that's so memorable.

Speaker 4 (02:04:01):
And I was actually again, I was at that super
Bowl all you know, during my music life. And the
funny thing is we had we got on the sideline
to watch Lady Gaga sing the national anthem, which was spectacular,
and then they forgot you know, they have an escort
usually that comes and grabs you and takes you back
into the club section or whatever when you're just sort
of like hanging at those things. They forgot to come

(02:04:24):
get us. So we ended up standing on the sideline
for the entire first half. It was the wildest thing
ever to be on the sideline at a super Bowl
because somebody forgot to get us, so it was crazy. Finally,
one of the guys had to go inside and go
to the bathroom, and that's when they discovered that we'd
been outside the whole time. They're like, you have to
get in, so I'll never forget standing on the sideline
for a half.

Speaker 3 (02:04:43):
Dude, are you serious that that's awesome weird experience.

Speaker 5 (02:04:49):
Yeah, I mean we're just standing right for that.

Speaker 3 (02:04:52):
Guy for wanting to go to the band from Like, dude,
we called it in. Man, you're on the sidelines.

Speaker 5 (02:04:57):
I told him.

Speaker 4 (02:04:57):
I was like, nobody could tell if you pissed yourself,
just like do it, like there's just tinkle in your pants,
Like we don't need to go inside.

Speaker 5 (02:05:04):
But yeah, we ended up going inside. I lost the
second half of that game.

Speaker 3 (02:05:08):
That's a great story, man, that's awesome. Seattle forty three Broncos.

Speaker 4 (02:05:16):
Eight, the band had played the pregame show and we
were walked into that Super Bowl after we played the
pregame show. Eight rows off the field in most incredible
seats I've ever had in a Super Bowl, and I remember
so vividly. There was a couple of fans, because that

(02:05:37):
was the New York Super Bowl, a couple of fans
that were in front of us that were wearing Broncos
gear and they were literally sobbing at the start of
the second half when that kick returnment back and he
knew the game was over then. And the guy was
sobbing because he said, you know, we spent I spent
the money to come here to New York for a
week at the Super Bowl, and the tickets for that
thing were astronomical, and that I spent twenty thousand dollars

(02:06:00):
to watch my favorite team get killed. And I'll never forget.
The guys behind me were Seahawks fans, and I kept
looking back and I was like their joy did not
outweigh the sorrow that those Broncos fans felt. It really
resonated in that game. Nobody saw that slaughter coming.

Speaker 3 (02:06:18):
Were all the war thirty four, San Francisco, thirty one,
Flacco v. Kaepernick and the Hardball Bowl and.

Speaker 4 (02:06:29):
The Lights Out Bowl, like that the lights went on
that one. That was the craziest part of that game.
That's what I remember the most about that is that
the lights went out in the game, and certainly it
changed everything for Flacco. Flacco was suddenly elite because of
that Super Bowl. And again we talked about legacy, like
how different would we look at Kaepernick at this point

(02:06:50):
if he'd gotten that win.

Speaker 5 (02:06:51):
So it's wild to me.

Speaker 3 (02:06:54):
Giants twenty one, Patriots seventeen.

Speaker 4 (02:07:01):
That's the I mean, you just think about that loss
for the Patriots and just the fact that that happened
was a big part of why so many people thought,
you know, Eli would be a Hall of Famer. You
get Super Bowl wins against the Patriots and people thought
that would put Eli in the Hall of Fame on
the first ballot. It shows you how little was expected

(02:07:25):
of those Giants teams in that area, yet they still
got to win.

Speaker 3 (02:07:27):
Really both wild card teams. We'll get to the other
one in a minute. Green Bay thirty one, Pittsburgh twenty five.

Speaker 5 (02:07:36):
I don't remember anything about that game.

Speaker 3 (02:07:38):
Was Aaron Rodgers. Yeah, that was Rogers and his first
You remember how good they were eight He was pretty doe.
I mean, he was amazing. That was McCarthy and they
were the toast of the town. Take it over for
home run and then Big Ben that that was a

(02:08:00):
good game. I remember that game. How about this one?
New Orleans thirty one, Indianapolis seventeen. It was Breeze and
Peyton and Katrina.

Speaker 2 (02:08:21):
What a story that was?

Speaker 4 (02:08:22):
Man, God, I mean, you're right, and that on side
kick to start the second half something that can't even
be done anymore. And that what that changed in that
game and how that was the moment you just sort
of knew that the Saints were they were playing a
different they were playing a different from the outset. It's
just what an incredible win for them and what an

(02:08:43):
incredible moment for the NFL.

Speaker 2 (02:08:45):
Yeah, Drew was unbelievable, incredible in that game.

Speaker 3 (02:08:54):
How about Giants Pittsburgh twenty seven Arizona twenty three.

Speaker 2 (02:09:01):
That was a great Super Bowl.

Speaker 5 (02:09:03):
Yeah, that was a great game.

Speaker 3 (02:09:04):
That was a look like Arizona was gonna win. Kurt
Warner was amazing. It's bold and remember.

Speaker 5 (02:09:10):
To catch Yeah, yeah, god, I mean and then.

Speaker 3 (02:09:14):
The Steelers come back right down the field. Heines ward.

Speaker 4 (02:09:20):
A legacy making moment two, you know, for for Ben,
for Hines, for everybody like that. That's just the way
that we look back at Ben's career. It was different
because he won that Super.

Speaker 3 (02:09:30):
Bowl Giant seventeen Patriots fourteen. I mean that was I mean,
that unbeaten Patriot team spags the NASCAR package yep, Tyrie
a helmet catch.

Speaker 4 (02:09:48):
I didn't even watch that Super Bowl at the time,
because I was just like, I don't want to watch
the Patriots win another Super Bowl. And I remember so
vividly there was I was that game is probably about over.
I'll see what the score is. So I turned off
just as the drive happened, and I was like, oh
my god, I saw the most incredible dry Like I
saw the catcher, saw all of that happen, and I
didn't watch the rest of the game. I was just

(02:10:08):
so over the Patriots at that point. Just a reminder
that when we say that there's Chiefs fatigue, there was
Patriots fatigue also back in two thousand and eight.

Speaker 5 (02:10:15):
Let's just remember that.

Speaker 2 (02:10:17):
Yeah, and many years after that too.

Speaker 5 (02:10:20):
Yeah, yeah, one hundred percent.

Speaker 3 (02:10:22):
Colts twenty nine, Bears seventeen.

Speaker 5 (02:10:30):
You know what I remember about that.

Speaker 4 (02:10:32):
I was at david Busters all right in Nashville, went
to watch that Super Bowl. I spent the whole day
at David Busters. And I remember the opening kickoff made
everybody freak out and think that the Bears were going
to win it. And there were there were Bears fans
and Colts fans.

Speaker 5 (02:10:48):
Everyone was like a.

Speaker 4 (02:10:49):
Fifty to fifty split. Everybody was yelling at each other
and I just remember so vividly that that was the
Purple Rain halftime show.

Speaker 2 (02:10:57):
Oh wow.

Speaker 4 (02:10:58):
I looked around at halftime and all of these people
that have been mother f and each other the entire
day suddenly were arm in arm and all singing Purple
Rain at the top of their lungs. And I was
just like, what a connective moment for music, You know,
it just really is. The music guy in me at
the time really was struck by how powerful that was

(02:11:18):
for everybody that had different rooting interests to all come together.

Speaker 5 (02:11:21):
At halftime of a magical halftime performance.

Speaker 2 (02:11:24):
That's cool. That's very cool.

Speaker 3 (02:11:27):
Steelers twenty one Seahawks ten fed five, two thousand and six.

Speaker 5 (02:11:35):
I don't remember anything about that game.

Speaker 2 (02:11:39):
Ross v.

Speaker 3 (02:11:41):
Ben, Yeah, no, I don't either. I'm trying to think
back to that game. The one before that. I remember
vividly Chapter Verse Patriots twenty four Eagles twenty one in Jacksonville.
That was Donovan throwing up and at the end of

(02:12:04):
the game, they're trying to play that. They're trying to
go no huddle and hurry up and Donovan's gast Oh god,
the game was tidy. They kept Brady kept going to
white out of the backfield in two long drives to
start the second half.

Speaker 4 (02:12:23):
Spygate spy Yate YEP, spy Yate Championship.

Speaker 3 (02:12:29):
Before that, it was Patriots thirty two Carolina twenty nine.

Speaker 4 (02:12:35):
Was j J.

Speaker 2 (02:12:35):
Loon, Yeah, stallone, let's go jac yes, yes.

Speaker 5 (02:12:39):
God, yeah.

Speaker 4 (02:12:40):
I don't remember anything else about that game. And then
it was close and Jake to Loane was there?

Speaker 2 (02:12:45):
Where was the super Bowl?

Speaker 4 (02:12:46):
Right before that? That there wasn't actually a super Bowl
right before?

Speaker 5 (02:12:50):
It's funny they get it.

Speaker 4 (02:12:52):
January twenty six, two thousand and three.

Speaker 2 (02:12:54):
Yeah, the super Bowl. We talked about it earlier. Fits
he had to deal with that.

Speaker 3 (02:13:02):
He was all excited or even show tell everybody you
had the made you had the cake, but they messed
up the cake.

Speaker 4 (02:13:10):
Blue cake. I had blue cake for a black logo.
I mean the cake was bad. My friends tapped all
my beer and then everybody trash talking me while the
Buccaneers went forty eight to twenty one. I'll never forget
that day because the Raiders were a heavy favorite going
in and I really believed I was about to see
a Super Bowl win, and like that was the most
you never know, but like that was the most devastating.

(02:13:32):
Part of it is that, like I truly believed a
Super Bowl win was coming and then it wasn't even
a close game. It was a blowout from the outset.

Speaker 3 (02:13:40):
It's crazy crazy, my man, figure checking in. It wasn't Ross.
It was mad hassled back. Oh my bad, mad hassleback
versus Ben Jerome Battis's last game the Boss.

Speaker 2 (02:13:58):
It was in Detroit.

Speaker 3 (02:14:00):
Thank you, Fig, good memory, Buddy, New England twenty Saint
Louis seventeen. Greatest show on Turf goes down to Brady.

Speaker 4 (02:14:16):
I mean that was the greatest greatest show on turf.
Going down to Brady just felt a lot like the
uh wide right Builds Super Bowl from when I was
a kid, you know, against the against the Giants, so
uh it just it. I thought that Rams team was
just going to absolutely go in and do whatever they wanted,
and they didn't.

Speaker 3 (02:14:34):
Well, that was the Tuck Rull game, right that then
against your boys?

Speaker 2 (02:14:38):
Yeah, yeah, gotta get.

Speaker 5 (02:14:40):
Them to that. Yep.

Speaker 2 (02:14:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (02:14:42):
As opposed to the year before when the Ravens went
to the Super Bowl after Sarahgusa landed on Rich Cannon
and knocked him out of the game in the first
the first quarter, like weird playoff losses really encapsulated two
thousand and one, two and three.

Speaker 5 (02:14:59):
For me, it's crazy.

Speaker 3 (02:15:00):
Yeah, yeah, oh and yeah, I mean, I mean that
Raven's defense of what was unbelievable.

Speaker 5 (02:15:06):
Man.

Speaker 2 (02:15:08):
Yeah, I mean that was incredible.

Speaker 3 (02:15:10):
The one before that was the great twenty three sixteen
Rams over the Titans that ends at the goal line.

Speaker 2 (02:15:18):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (02:15:18):
I was in Nashville at the time. No, I'll never
forget watching the stretch out for the goal line. I
really thought they were gonna get it. And you know
who would have known at that period At that time,
the Titans were so good. They're so good, and to
think that they've never gotten back, it's crazy, so.

Speaker 3 (02:15:35):
Real quick, just to jock some memories before that, it
was Denver thirty four nineteen over Atlanta.

Speaker 2 (02:15:46):
That was Terrell Davis. It was back to back.

Speaker 3 (02:15:51):
It was Elway the wins, the back to back at
the end of his career with Terrell Davis. I covered
in those games Denver thirty one twenty four of Green
Bay and over farv and thirty four nineteen over Atlanta,
the Dirty Birds ninety seven Packers thirty five, Patriots twenty one.

Speaker 5 (02:16:17):
That was I barely remember that game barely.

Speaker 3 (02:16:22):
Well, yeah, I know you remember this game in nineteen
ninety six, the last time the Dallas Cowboys were relevant.

Speaker 2 (02:16:32):
Yeah, thirty years ago.

Speaker 5 (02:16:37):
That's wild.

Speaker 3 (02:16:38):
Cowboys twenty seven, Steelers seventeen.

Speaker 4 (02:16:41):
That is wild to think that it's been that long,
only because it was such a dominant era.

Speaker 5 (02:16:48):
You know, when you think about what.

Speaker 4 (02:16:49):
The Cowboys were doing year and in year out, like
the Cowboys in the forty nine Ers really just it
was such a back and forth era of if one
wasn't in the Super Bowl, the other would be. And yeah,
insane to me that to look back at that era
and realize that they've.

Speaker 5 (02:17:04):
Never done it since.

Speaker 4 (02:17:05):
But every time Cowboys fans yell and scream about that,
I just say, okay, so what like there are tons
of teams in the NFL that haven't won a Super
Bowl in thirty years, So you know, like Browns fans,
Raiders fans, Titans fans, we already mentioned, Like you can
go up and down the list of teams that haven't
made it. Like the Cowboys aren't special, They're just a
great brand.

Speaker 5 (02:17:24):
So I mean it isn't special Dallas, No.

Speaker 2 (02:17:28):
But the grief before that is truly Buffalo.

Speaker 3 (02:17:31):
I don't know how you know, you know nowadays like
you can't go to a super Bowl because when you
come back the next season, you lose. Like if you
lose the Super Bowl, you usually have a devastating season.
And there was Buffalo, and when you see it in
black and white, you just go, oh my god. First
lose twenty to nineteen to the Giants the wide right,

(02:17:53):
then lose thirty seven to twenty four to Washington, then
fifty two to seventeen to Dallas, and then thirty to
thirteen to Dallas for in a row.

Speaker 2 (02:18:02):
It's unthinkable.

Speaker 3 (02:18:03):
It's why our hearts will always go out to Buffalo,
where the fellas, we'll come back, look at the game
from a betting standpoint, props the whole thing.

Speaker 2 (02:18:15):
You name it. With the brain that's next.

Speaker 2 (02:18:42):
Super Bowl Saturday.

Speaker 3 (02:18:46):
All right, we're joined now by our men's let's take
a look at the game from a betting standpoint, because
you will, and he's our man, our insider when it
comes to betting.

Speaker 2 (02:18:57):
The brain, that's it, Brad Feinberg.

Speaker 3 (02:19:01):
We are now one day and with thirty three hours
I guess from kickoff, the lines still one and a
half chiefs.

Speaker 2 (02:19:13):
Good morning, Brain, Good morning, my friend.

Speaker 10 (02:19:16):
How are you, buddy?

Speaker 2 (02:19:17):
Good buddy? What do you make of the line? Right now?

Speaker 3 (02:19:22):
It appears that all of the money, or most of
the money is on the Eagles, Is that right?

Speaker 10 (02:19:30):
Yeah, most of the quote unquote This is one game
where I think, actually, usually the public money will beat
the quote unquote sharp money. But yeah, most of the
money has actually been on Philadelphia. The sharp money, which
doesn't surprise me, has been on Philadelphia in the sense
that anyone who does this, like for a business point
of view, a power ratings point of view, everyone's gonna

(02:19:52):
have Photolphia ready to head of Kansas City. So there
was okay, I have the better team getting points. But
again the reason I thought, I can't they would be favored,
and I thought it'd actually be a little bit even
higher than one of them. If I just thought that
the cort Unico public money would drive this up to
at least two I've been wrong and havn't really ever,
you know, gotten there. Maybe for a brief period it

(02:20:12):
was it too and then all the sharp money wipe
you know, all the money in general, wipe that away.
So look, this should be a great game, you know,
and it really should be close. I'd be surprised, but
it's not an exciting typical chief scheme that we see
that always comes down to the end. But you know,
last game of the year antheys, we always talk about
NFL's King will be sad day for me, bittersweet day

(02:20:34):
just knowing that it's over now, and you know, you know, yeah,
my favorite thing is is the NFL. So another year,
a great year, and I'd always get sad when it ends.

Speaker 4 (02:20:45):
So what do you do from a betting standboy, Because
everybody I talked to, most of the people I talked
to over on media row over the course of the week,
we're constantly saying the same thing. The Eagles are the
better team, but you don't beat Mahomes, right, So that's
not great a lot with my money attached to it.
So how do you approach this from a money standpoint?

Speaker 10 (02:21:04):
Well, it's funny to say that it's you just everything
you just said is how I feel. It's it's from
the analytical point of view, you're like, who cares? You know,
just you got to take the better team? Do you
put your head down and you go forward? You don't
really dive into the emotional part. But when I look

(02:21:24):
at this game and again, look, while I do have
the Eagles power to hire like that I do, I
always come back to the fact and I went over this.
I've gone of this with a bunch of every single
Chiefs game last like three years. It's kind of culd
have gone either way. Every single one of them goes
their way, and it's been like a crazy turn, like

(02:21:45):
how did it happen? It's like seventeen eighteen games in
a row where what you want to call it luck,
good breaks, flukes, whatever you want to call it, it
keeps going their way time. It's like a simul apersong
time after time, time after time. The Chiefs get every
single break humanly possible. Obviously they're a great team. Obviously
they have the best quarterback, best coach. And to get lucky,

(02:22:06):
you have to put yourself in position to get lucky. Okay,
and the Chiefs always win these games, and it's a
credit and they just they seem to have like a
just a DNA ship where they people said the same
thing with the Patriots too, you know, with Brady, they
would always win the close games. So to me, look,
I'm gonna go twenty four to twenty three Chiefs here,
even though I think Eagles are the better. I think

(02:22:27):
that we're gonna leave.

Speaker 2 (02:22:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 10 (02:22:30):
Well, I I I'm kind of taking a no spread
thing here where I think we're gonna wake up Monday
morning like how did the Chiefs do it again? How
did it happen again? Like something weird is gonna happen, something,
something that just shouldn't have happened. And every thought of
they fans like we were the better team, and she
said like, well we want to get yeah again, I

(02:22:54):
just the emotional side of me just I can't go
against my homes when you wins these games.

Speaker 3 (02:23:01):
Every well, you gotta play football brain on you get
I mean you're better, I do well.

Speaker 2 (02:23:08):
I mean Billy Walters is going birds.

Speaker 10 (02:23:12):
Yeah well again, I'm sure every listen, anyone who does
these things for empowering perspective Again, no one's gonna have
the Chiefs for the head Eagles.

Speaker 3 (02:23:19):
No one shocked you are You're always math, always am cerebral,
You're never emotional.

Speaker 2 (02:23:29):
Why would you go emotional?

Speaker 10 (02:23:31):
Last week? I was though too, it's funny I and
I said, I that pretty big. I bet the Chiefs
against the Bills, and I'm like, this is always a
game in the past. I would just take the Bills.
And something bizarre is gonna happen. There's be some call
by the referees. There's gonna be some controversial play. I
don't know what it's gonna be, but just gonna something's
gonna happen wherever it's gonna be talking about it. And
I don't want to be on the right side of

(02:23:52):
this one. I don't. I want to feel what it's
like to be with like you know, Darth Vader and
the dark side of getting this or whatever. I want
to see all the luck factor on my side for once,
tim always going at the Chiefs, and of course the
Josh Allen play happened, and you know the Chiefs got
away with it again. I just again, by the way,
just say you know, for everyone listening, I had a

(02:24:13):
future bet on the Eagles. I bet the Chiefs the
open it pick. It was a natural hedge of anything.
My big bets in this game is the props. The
game itself literally is like nothing just for everyone listening,
it's for me. I really have truly no big opinion

(02:24:34):
on the side. I think the Chiefs will win by one.

Speaker 2 (02:24:36):
The Spreads won.

Speaker 10 (02:24:38):
But my post thing is the props, and I'll give
you guys some props that I like that I think
have more value than the game itself, and that's what's
great now you could always do the props at just
do the game. My biggest bet by a zillion is
Patrick Maholmes under rushing attempts. I got under six and
a half. You can still find that, but the choose
is now a lot higher than when I got of that.

(02:24:59):
This bet is seventy one and ten is last eighty
one games, only eleven and four in the playoffs, but
still eleven and four, And I still like even under
five and a half, that's what you have to play.
I still think that is worth a bet. I bet
Jalen Hurts under forty and a half now thirty eight
and a half rushing yards. I still think that as value.
I don't think Hurts is fully healthy in terms of

(02:25:20):
his mobility. I bet Jalen Hurts scoring any time touchdown
around even money. Love that that last three years, guys,
he's gone over that two thirds of the time every
single year. I see no reason why Jalen Hurts are
not scored. I think he's better scoring touching on Barkley
and Barkley. He scores more touched on the Barkley, and
yet Barkley has a higher double the ratio of touchdown

(02:25:41):
than Hurts does, which is insane. Travis Kelson under six
and a half catches, I think as value guys, don't
think he's the same player that he's been in the past.
And I like under five and a half sacks as well.

Speaker 4 (02:25:54):
Any sake on props you like, you know.

Speaker 10 (02:25:58):
Sak one is funny. His his total has been creeping
down on the sharp site. I lean over for Saquon,
I do I think that he's still you know, when
he did it in that game against the Ravens. For me,
when I thought, okay, going into this dominant run defense,
you know he's going to be shut down, and he

(02:26:19):
still did it. You can get one oh nine and
a half. I did bet a little on his over.
You can actually get a good medal over one nine
and a half a hundred one fourteen and a half
if you shop this, get a nice five yard middle.
But I lean over Saquon. He's just not a guy.
I know a lot of the sharps are dating him.
I just I've seen this too much. U pan close.

(02:26:39):
I have no interest in fading Saquon Barkley. You could
have him. He get had seventy yards in the fourth quarter.
I still wouldn't even feel good about it because he
just always seems to have every single game one of
those fifty yard runs. So for me, it's over or.

Speaker 2 (02:26:52):
Passed for Saquon.

Speaker 3 (02:26:54):
Yeah, I've seen him do it every week. I don't
really stand how you can fade him. I think that's ridiculous,
to be honest with they.

Speaker 10 (02:27:04):
A lot of people are doing it though, a lot
of people are doing it, and I.

Speaker 2 (02:27:07):
Doubt I was gonna answer you. I like over Eagles
team total.

Speaker 10 (02:27:15):
Twenty three and a half. Yeah, twenty three and a
half is a big thing. It's key because you can't
say is twenty four and a half? Throw it off
his twenty three and a half, and for a game
like that, listen to the value is theoretically on the
Chiefs under twenty four and a half and Eagles over twenty
three and a half, because the game really is such
a close number and like one is such a spread,
but the difference between twenty three and a half and
twenty four and a half is a masset in an

(02:27:35):
NFL game. So I actually do think there's a little
bit of value there, Anthony, I agree with you.

Speaker 3 (02:27:40):
I like, uh, you know what, when I like for
the Chiefs, I like over Mahomes completions because you have
to throw the ball to win it, and you have
to throw it a ton and he throw it underneath,
so they're gonna have to striculate.

Speaker 10 (02:27:56):
The ball down the We talked this, and you thought
this one before you you talk about this one, and
the line has really moved your way since you've told
me this before, and the line has moved about fifty cents.
And I'm not talking about the rapper since you gave
this what you told me. You really like this one,
and people have gotten behind this one. You can still
get over twenty three and a half playing about a
dollar thirty something. Before it was plus money, But this

(02:28:20):
is I agree with me, this is a bet that's
won over half the time on its own merits, and
now you're getting a game where they're actually the chance
they could really be traveling this game, they could really
be losing this game. Eagle is not easy to run on.
I do agree, Mahomes goes over twenty three and a half. Absolutely.

Speaker 4 (02:28:37):
What advice would you give people regarding parlays, Like, everybody
that's listening may not gamble all the time.

Speaker 10 (02:28:44):
Yeah, well, listen, parlays. If you could ever find something
that has plus ev you know, plus expected value, you
want to parlay that with the world. Okay, if there's
something that's really good that you determine is an off number,
it's great to parlay that with every single thing that
you can, because you're just getting theoretically more guney down
on something that you think is tied to a really

(02:29:05):
exceptional bet. Now, for those people that like to do
the same game parlays, listen, I'm gonna tell you this.
If you're just doing this for fun and this is
just like something you know what, you don't care to
your quote unquote getting ripped off, then go ahead do it.
Don't do something. Just don't get crazy money on it
because the biggest hold okay, the biggest hold for these
force books are these seeing game parlays. They are giving

(02:29:27):
you the worst payouse possible compared to what is a
quote unquote they're payout, but you know people will see
someone bet five dollars to win eight thousand, and you
know that they want to do it too, but that
eight thousand dollars payout theoretically five and twenty thousands. But
the people love to do them, and that's fine. It's
like a way, it's like almost like playing the lottery
in some ways, and I'm supposed to having going to

(02:29:49):
your local seven to eleven and having the store generate numbers.
You at least got to pick what you want it
to be. So again, if you're doing it for fun,
I have no problem with it. But if you're doing
it professionally, no, no pro I can tell you this.
It's doing the same game parlays. But if you're doing it,
just have fun and enjoying yourself, have at it, and
you know, good luck and hopefully you know you got

(02:30:09):
to what do.

Speaker 3 (02:30:10):
You do you bet the You would you bet all
those props single right singles?

Speaker 10 (02:30:16):
Yes, yeah, you could listen, you could if you if
you think that there's because what's going to happen is
when they especially if there's anything correlated, which they really like.
Years ago, they didn't do this like they weren't. The
forces have gotten smarter, guys, They've gotten smarter.

Speaker 2 (02:30:32):
Years ago.

Speaker 10 (02:30:33):
I would do some parlays that were correlated, okay, and
they weren't factoring in that they were correlated. Like for example,
if you like the Chiefs to lose, okay, you would
like Mahomes pass attempts and pass completions over that much more.
Why because the Chiefs lose the game, theoretically, Mahomes is
having to throw the ball more right theoretically, So that's

(02:30:54):
a correlated parlace.

Speaker 2 (02:30:55):
Right.

Speaker 10 (02:30:56):
They've wised up to those in those days have kind
of over. Now they understand, okay, uh, if the Chiefs
lose the game, home is gonna have the basketball there.
So they're not going to give you that like they
used to give you this free lak.

Speaker 3 (02:31:09):
I got more more, I got real quick, I got
a home more give me uh. I like I think
the way the Chiefs Andy reach scripts the opening script,
the way the Eagles Fangio is where he likes to
get a beat on you. You could you can move on
him first drive, or two Chiefs to score first, Eagles

(02:31:33):
to win, or you know something, all those lines.

Speaker 2 (02:31:38):
What's that kind of payout?

Speaker 10 (02:31:40):
Yeah, I know there was one Anthony that was like that.
This is where I say it's the Chiefs to score
first and then and then Eagles. When I preferred it
was I think it was Chiefs to be leading at any
point and then the Eagles to come back and win.
To me, then you're not somehow the Eagles get the
ball first and they play deal goal and then the
Chiefs called seventy three, you could still win the bet.
I think it's I don't like the random that just

(02:32:03):
munching the me team to score first, A little more.

Speaker 2 (02:32:05):
Random point on us.

Speaker 10 (02:32:06):
If you want to take a chance on the Eagles
to be trailing at some point and then to win
the game getting plus four eighty five, I think it
is that, you know, I very strong chances the Chiefs
are going to be leading at some point. Even if
you really like Philadelphia in this game, you could recognize
much better chance. Not the Chiefs are already leading this game.
I prefer attacking it from that point of view. And

(02:32:28):
again I always says that everyone live betting the game.
I'm like, one of the best whatever was the Tampa
Bay Kansas City game where you could see early they
could not protect Mahomes, They had no chance protecting Mahomes,
And it was an amazing live betting day for a
lot of pros because they kept favoring the Chiefs to
you know, to win the game from that point on.

(02:32:48):
And I'm like, they can't even protect mahomes, can't complete
the pass. How's they going to know? How they're favoring
the Chiefs throughout the game. So if you see a
situation like that, either way, smart one, Domini, We're I
like it.

Speaker 5 (02:33:00):
I like it.

Speaker 3 (02:33:01):
We're late, my brother, let's see great stuff. Good luck
to you, all right, I help you, uh hit all
your props and the Eagles win. All right, all right,
we'll come back, fellas. Wrap it up next right here,
Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 2 (02:33:23):
The last game of the season. Fetsake.

Speaker 4 (02:33:27):
Yeah, you're you're win or lose tomorrow there's gonna be
a single solitary tier, yes, coming down your face. Just
football season is officially over tomorrow.

Speaker 2 (02:33:36):
I know, I know that sucks. There'll be all right,
the Eagles win.

Speaker 5 (02:33:42):
Though, Yeah, I mean, let's be real.

Speaker 4 (02:33:46):
If the Eagles win, football season will last another month.

Speaker 2 (02:33:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:33:50):
If they lose, it'll be ten times worse. They can't lose, man,
They're not losing them all. Yeah, I'm thinking of myself.
There's no way you can't lose with the better line
of scrimmage. When you own the line of scrimmage, you
can't lose.

Speaker 4 (02:34:07):
I don't know, man, gonna get the ah, Yeah, I know,
I know why to the right over and over and
over again, and he's just gonna like it out out over.

Speaker 3 (02:34:20):
They're going to stop now. Ain't going to stop the
Eagles offense. Seriously, They're not. They're not gonna stop saying
they can't. Yeah, I don't think they can all. Listen,
I love the spags that that. You know, the kids
go on uncles bags, right, they love them. But you know,
how's he going to stop? If not Barkley, Like you
could slow Barkley. I get it, you want to do that,

(02:34:42):
but you still have to deal with aj Brown the outside,
Davante Smith, Dallas Goddard, that offense, Jalen's legs, right, I
mean fourth and five last week, Jalen thirty yards down
the field, drops it in the bucket the aj Brown.

Speaker 4 (02:35:01):
Yeah, but that's thinking about Keep thinking about that play
and the types of opportunities they could have in this game,
because it's gonna be all in on stopping Saquon. I mean,
since a couple of those sorts of passes early on,
it's going to change everything everything.

Speaker 3 (02:35:19):
And suoner or later, Barkley's gonna going to break free.
I'm not saying he's going to hate home runs, but
I mean he'll gashing the secondaries.

Speaker 5 (02:35:29):
You know, he hit home runs, I know.

Speaker 2 (02:35:32):
I mean, I'm trying to be conservative about it. He's
going to get into the secondary.

Speaker 5 (02:35:36):
Yeah, there's no doubt about that.

Speaker 4 (02:35:39):
I I struggle here because I don't it seems like
bad business to pick against Mahomes and Andy Reid.

Speaker 5 (02:35:46):
It really does.

Speaker 4 (02:35:47):
But also the Eagles are a better team, so like that,
this really feels like the most unsure I've ever been
of a Super Bowl prediction coming into the game, because
I certainly feel like the Eagles should win, but I
also certainly feel like the fact is that the Bill
should have won last week too.

Speaker 2 (02:36:04):
You know.

Speaker 4 (02:36:04):
It's like it's just the number of times that I
think Kansas City has Yeah, but because the.

Speaker 2 (02:36:09):
Bill, the bill, skilled people still aren't. They're not.

Speaker 5 (02:36:12):
That's fair, it's very fair.

Speaker 2 (02:36:13):
You know.

Speaker 3 (02:36:14):
The great Josh is great and cooks very good, but
he's not Barkley. And the receivers none of them are
a J. Brown or Davante.

Speaker 5 (02:36:24):
You're all. That's all very fair. It's all very fair.

Speaker 2 (02:36:27):
I just and got it paid.

Speaker 3 (02:36:31):
And the Eagles old line is Buffalo's old line is terrific,
but Eagles on lines better.

Speaker 2 (02:36:38):
And who's blocking Jalen Carter?

Speaker 4 (02:36:40):
Nobody, Like, nobody's gonna block Jalen Carter.

Speaker 5 (02:36:43):
He's gonna be.

Speaker 2 (02:36:43):
Talking about fit. See he's talking about man.

Speaker 5 (02:36:47):
I don't want a world where Jalen Carter somehow wins
the MVP.

Speaker 2 (02:36:51):
Gucci Prediction.

Speaker 5 (02:36:54):
Chiefs twenty three.

Speaker 2 (02:36:57):
Gold Birds.
