Speaker 2 (00:20):
Let's you're listening to Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
Eric Mangini, former Jets head coach, good to join us
at around four twenty.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
Is y.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
I saw you perk up during the UH during the
update there, which is odd, but you perked up.
Speaker 4 (00:40):
Yeah, well.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
You perked up during the Viking sound. What made you
perk up like that? Why were you so interested?
Speaker 5 (00:49):
The combination of the actual sound and Taylor being excited too,
because as we were, Isaac was discussing the news and
do fomentsa getting fired by the Vikings. They're giving reasons
as to why, and then Taylor said it's because of
Sam Darton.
Speaker 6 (01:08):
Well they said it's not because of any one singular decision. Yes,
and that's where I have a a BS meter.
Speaker 4 (01:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (01:18):
It was going off like crazy, really because that is
exactly what happens when the quarterback you let walk goes
to the Super Bowl and the quarterback that you have
as a result looks like JJ McCarthy. That gets you
fired ten times out of ten.
Speaker 5 (01:33):
Well, I'm looking at a stat right now, sorry Stu,
but it's a few as starts by draft picks since
twenty twenty two, and if the Dolphins are the worst
at one hundred and twenty two starts, which tells you
about my fandom and what I've been dealing with. Where
the Vikings are second at one hundred and seventy two
and there's like another fifty start gap between them and
third place there and that's its twenty twenty two. But
(01:54):
the results have been there, the wins and losses have
been there, except it's been zero to two in the playoffs.
And I'm like, after watching Chris Greer here with the
Dolphins survive so many you know, calls for his firing.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
That's because they have a loyal owner though I mean they.
Speaker 5 (02:08):
Just right, but loyal for what reasons? You know, you
have mensa here, like just getting canned that for four
years and they were pretty.
Speaker 4 (02:14):
Good, they were okay, but you can't listen.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
You have a choice at quarterback and it's Jj McCarthy
or Sam Donald, And you choose JJ McCarthy over Sam Donald.
Speaker 4 (02:25):
After Sam goes fourteen and three, you're losing the playoffs.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
They understand, But he goes fourteen and three, and then
the next year Sam signs with the Seahawks. Your quarterback
keeps getting hurt, Your former quarterback is in the Super Bowl.
Speaker 5 (02:37):
What does that do though? If you're gonna say, all right,
I'm gonna fall for that narrative, I'm going to go
ahead and say, you know what, that makes sense.
Speaker 4 (02:45):
Let me get rid of him.
Speaker 5 (02:46):
Does that mean that JJ McCarthy is not well thought
of in the organization? Does that mean that the next
GM is going to say, hey, we've got to find
another quarterback because JJ's not it. And if that's the case,
like if everybody else in the organization is getting that sense, right,
why am I going to give it my all for
this guy? Why is you know, why are we even
going with JJ to begin with? I do think it
(03:08):
needs to be addressed, like when they say it wasn't
because of any one move just say the names. Hey,
we are in with JJ McCarthy, we want him to
be our quarterback. There is no judgment on him quite yet.
We still think he's going to be great, but just
getting rid of the GM right now when that is
the one sort of move that stands out.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
I don't know if that does well for your locker.
I have the Jets trading for JJ McCarthy.
Speaker 6 (03:29):
No, man, that's about fitting, that's about right, or Kirk
Cousins because the Falcons are expected or release Kirk Cousins.
The odds that JJ McCarthy or Kirk Cousins is the
next Jets starting quarterback for next season minus five thousand?
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Is he He bet on his head coach being the
quarterback whisperer and he lost.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
That's it.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
And the coach, Kevin O'Connell's not getting fired. They love
Kevin O'Connell. I don't know why, but they do. Kevin
O'Connell made the same decision, and as the GM, he's
the head coach, he's the guy working with the quarterbacks
every single day, and the guy he decided to let
go to Seattle is playing in the Super Bowl.
Speaker 4 (04:12):
Right.
Speaker 5 (04:12):
It doesn't seem like it is a GM's fault. If
he were to have assessed a talent and said, hey,
that's a good talent, and then the coaching staff did
nothing with it, Like if it goes somewhere else of
that player, if the player goes somewhere else and does well,
then you should probably hate GM's good coaches. You guys
(04:33):
are in the house. You guys are the ones responsible
for getting the best out of a singular player. The
GM's just responsible for identifying it.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
We had Salvacata on a Stegatson Company earlier today. It's
been out for a while, and now he brought up
an interesting point. When did we all start caring about
the Hall of Fame? Like suddenly everyone cares about the
Hall of Fame for a ridiculous reason, but no one
ever cares about the Hall of Fame.
Speaker 5 (05:02):
I couldn't tell you, like what coaches are really in
the Hall of Fame. Like I if you ask me
who is some of the greatest coaches in the history
of the NFL, I could name off a few names,
but I imagine there's way more coaches in the NFL that
I have any idea that exist in that league. And
I think it's yeah, it's one hundred percent right, which
is why I was saying yesterday, it's the only thing
(05:23):
that you could say about Bill Belichick that have people
coming to his defense.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
It's crazy.
Speaker 5 (05:28):
You actually you don't really care about the Hall of Fame,
but in your mind, you know, this guy's a first
ballot Hall of Famer. He didn't get that thing. Here
comes the outrage, but doesn't really matter every single year,
nobody really cares that much.
Speaker 4 (05:40):
You're right.
Speaker 6 (05:40):
Can I tell you, guys a something that is a
revelation but it's not going to shock you at all.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
Okay, well it's not a revelation, but go ahead.
Speaker 6 (05:48):
I believe it was twenty twenty one. I had one
day of PTO left and I took it to go
see Derek Jeter get enshrined in Cooperstown.
Speaker 5 (05:57):
See that's a little different. You get the opportunity to
see like a childhood hero in person in any capacity,
much less something that means so much to that player.
That's pretty cool. But who else got in shrine that day?
What were their stories, what were their speeches, what were
their histories? Like, I bet you don't remember.
Speaker 6 (06:16):
To be honest, I don't remember because in my mind
only Jeter went in that.
Speaker 5 (06:21):
It could have been Jeter opening five guys Burgers and
it would be like, Wow, what a day.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
Taylor, do me a favorite. See who else was in
that class?
Speaker 1 (06:29):
Okay, I want to see who you're dismissing right now,
if possible? Who else was in Derek Jeter's Hall of
Fame class? Tail Or a big, big Yankee fan of
course his final day PTO who spent in Cooper's down.
Speaker 4 (06:46):
I have never been prouder of you. Do you hear me? Son?
Speaker 7 (06:49):
Son?
Speaker 5 (06:49):
How you're his son? Seriously?
Speaker 4 (06:51):
Though he's looking up Derek Jeter's Hall of Fame class.
Speaker 6 (06:54):
I'll tell you, I'll tell you why. Yeah, it was
Derek Jeter, Ted Simmons.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
Really, the Brewers catcher, and Larry Walker what it might
as well have only been Jeter. Yes, you're right, Larry
Walker benefited from playing a Coors Field.
Speaker 5 (07:12):
You could have told me that second name was made up.
Who else was that? You said? The Brewers catcher?
Speaker 4 (07:16):
Oh, Teddy Simmons. Never heard of him? Yeah, Teddy ball game?
Yeah that's not Teddy.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Simba one of the great catchers of all time. I
mean he is really, yes, Tim and Johnny Bench yah
yeh huh.
Speaker 4 (07:29):
He's in the Hall of Fame.
Speaker 5 (07:30):
I mean, but I mean he wasn't first ballot, right
that what may Tries.
Speaker 6 (07:34):
Was that so he retired in nineteen eighty eight? Is
he He got inducted in twenty twenty, So I'm guessing
that wasn't the first bout exactly.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
It's unfortunate when you have to go in with Jeter
it is. That's not a guy.
Speaker 4 (07:45):
And perhaps Bobcraft is right he didn't want.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
To go in the same weekend as Bill Belichick because
you get buried.
Speaker 5 (07:50):
Yeah, okay, how just by his name because you know
his speech is going to be terrible. Like I don't
think Bill Belichick if it wasn't if it was just
this year and people Bill Belichick going into the Hall
of Fame, I think it would just be an afterthought.
I don't even think you'd see it until like the
first set of commercials on Sports Center.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
There are certain guys, regardless of whether or not I
think their speech is going to be boring, where I
will go out of my way to watch them be
inducted into the Hall of Fame. Belichick was probably one
of those guys, now even more so because I can't
wait for his speech because he'll go scorch dearth on
everyone is he? But Belichick is probably my larger point
(08:27):
is there is a guy in every Hall of Fame
class where they are the more key, right, And you
don't want to go in with a guy like Derek Jeter.
You don't want to go in the same year Tom
Brady goes in. You don't want to go in the
same year Bill Belichick goes in. I understand that. I mean,
Bob Kraft needs to understand that we don't care when
he goes in, whether it's with Belichick or not. We're
(08:50):
not going to care about what Bob Kraft has to say.
I don't care what owners have to say. But I
am interested in this coach, his speech and when he
gets inducted into the Hall of Fame because he's great.
He's the greatest coach he's ever lived.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
Period.
Speaker 5 (09:02):
Yeah, I'm interested too. And Okay, so it's August eighth.
What do you think about this? He shouldn't go into
the Hall of Fame while he's still coaching, because like
he's gonna be sitting there, well, I mean still has
a job. Let's put it that way, because you know
how he is. And it's probably about a month before
his season starts, Like you're supposed to be sitting there
(09:25):
celebrating laying back, patting yourself on the back for everything
you've done. You know, in his mind, he's just gonna
be like, can we get this over with? I got
I gotta prepare for I don't even know who the
opener is.
Speaker 6 (09:33):
I gotta prepare forland he see you in Ireland?
Speaker 5 (09:37):
How have I not known that?
Speaker 4 (09:38):
By now?
Speaker 1 (09:39):
He knew that right off the top of his dome,
all right, But Derek Jeters Hall of Fame class and
Ted Simmons took him hours.
Speaker 5 (09:45):
I mean, Bill Belichick's gonna be up there thinking about
how the weather in the UK is going to affect
his UNC football team. He's not gonna care about his
speech and about making people cry, making people think about
his childhood. He's just gonna want to move on.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
Mike yeas all right, And I can't believe we kind
of glossed over it.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
And when he said it.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
But Pollyon did he got ten people to vote again
Bill Belichick, so he didn't have to be the one.
I mean, God, this Stu Gods is strong than him.
Speaker 4 (10:13):
It's a good move by Pollyon.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Yeah, but you hear him like he's all he's so
nervous during that during that statement, it makes you feel
like there's some holes in the story, you know what
I'm saying. Yeah, Bill Hollan, Yeah.
Speaker 5 (10:29):
I said no, it was just setting up for a joke.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
Let's go to raj in Orange County. Go ahead, Rajio.
See hey, what's going on? So what up?
Speaker 8 (10:43):
Yeah? When the next time you're coming down to UHC,
you gonna come for Ahana Fest September or what.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
I went to Ahana Fest a couple of years ago.
It was fantastic with Eddie Vedder on the beach there.
I don't know when the next time. I'm going to
be back, hopefully in a year or two.
Speaker 8 (10:58):
A man, we'll let you down here.
Speaker 9 (10:59):
What do you just say? The Ritz?
Speaker 1 (11:01):
I stayed at the Is it the Saint Regis? Well,
I've stayed at the Ritz before. Monarch Bay is where
I stay that hotel, room number five thirteen.
Speaker 8 (11:14):
Yeah, you know, it's pretty crazy. So's the last time
you work this much like you've been on the air,
on the air like every day this month.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
Ever that like never, no, no, you're asking that this
is the hardest I've ever worked, period, and the discussion
two consecutive weeks.
Speaker 4 (11:30):
It's crazy, and I'm going to super Bowl nuts.
Speaker 5 (11:33):
I mean, well, he's had you on the air this
long ride.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
Tell me about it.
Speaker 6 (11:41):
Yeah, where's radio row this year?
Speaker 4 (11:45):
In San Francisco? Where the Super Bowl?
Speaker 3 (11:47):
Right?
Speaker 8 (11:47):
Is it by like the Chase Stadium. It's not a LEVI.
Speaker 6 (11:49):
Isn't believe it's in San Jose.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
Listen.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
I just uh, I walk, I follow the crowd, and
when I get there, I get there, and then I
and then I dominate.
Speaker 5 (11:57):
That's what I do, percent man.
Speaker 8 (12:00):
I mean in both starts till Jim Rome gets there.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
Right.
Speaker 4 (12:03):
Well, now, it doesn't start until I get there. How
about that? Hey, let's go all right, roj love you.
Speaker 5 (12:08):
Thank you about Wait wait wait, Roger had a Nassi
Open question. Didn't even ask it?
Speaker 4 (12:11):
Oh he didn't. He's been on the phone forever.
Speaker 8 (12:14):
All right, man, how about that tennis down under? I
mean Djokovic.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
Do we need to look into that?
Speaker 9 (12:19):
I mean, everyone's cramping, Sinner, Mussetti, alcraz all cramp and
then Djokovic thirty eight.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
Should we be look into that?
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Or just he got two walkovers? I mean he should
be out of the tournament already.
Speaker 4 (12:29):
He was down two.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
Sets and gonna walk over. Yes, we should be looking
into this. How is Djokovic surviving this and no one
else is graty?
Speaker 5 (12:37):
I would check the bank accounts of those two players today.
Let him walk over.
Speaker 6 (12:41):
You're saying that Djokovic is surviving this. If you watched
that match today against Sinner, Yeah, he was bury.
Speaker 5 (12:48):
Survive many every point until the fifth set.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
Somehow, guys, listen to me, this is what tennis players
have to do when they age. Okay, So if you're
down too, so when it's set, you're down three in
a set, normally he would try to fight back when
he was younger in his pride, but he just lets
it go because he wants to conserve and save his
energy for the fifth set, a set that he has
to win. And so that's what you saw that. You
saw a guy it's like a kg vet. You saw
(13:15):
him being smart with his energy, okay, because he only
has so much at this point in his life.
Speaker 5 (13:21):
That's that's what I saw him. Even in the sets
he was losing, Stu cats have no air. He wasn't reaching,
he couldn't couldn't.
Speaker 4 (13:27):
Bring one to the last two standings.
Speaker 5 (13:29):
So how about that somehow found that accident in the
last set. The last two sets actually.
Speaker 4 (13:34):
Let's go to uh Derek in Pennsylvania. Go ahead, Derek, Hey,
what's up?
Speaker 8 (13:39):
Guys? First off? Hall of Fame, the Kirby Pucket first ballot. Okay,
if you look at his stats or know you've got
a stack guy, look at him and compare him to
Don Maddingly. Yeah, identical, and Don Maddingley actually has better stats.
I just want to move on to main Genie. Yeah,
(14:00):
the Cleveland Browns fan. The three greatest weeks of Cleveland
Browns fan ever was when Mangini was coach. Remember when
he stomped the Patriots yep, three weeks in a row.
It was it was the best teams in the NFL,
and then looking down to the Staints and then Breylan
Edwards dropped a touchdown in the end zone or they
(14:23):
would have beat the Saints. So if you got him
on air, ask him about those three weeks, because those
are the best three weeks of Cleveland Browns football ever.
Speaker 5 (14:32):
All right, what's that I remember to ask him?
Speaker 1 (14:33):
No, I'm going to apologize in advance for not asking
him about those three weeks.
Speaker 4 (14:41):
I try to ask.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
I mean, Derek, I love you, but I just I can't, like,
we have a limited amount of time with Eric Mangini,
and he is the greatest coach in Jet's history of
my lifetime. It's him a Rex Ryan okay, and I
want to thank him for getting me to the playoffs.
Once go ahead, Taylor.
Speaker 6 (14:56):
My word association when I hear Eric Mangini, besides just Man,
genius is sopranos. And I've been working on my James
Gandalfini impression. Where he goes that's the Jets coach.
Speaker 5 (15:06):
Just still working on that.
Speaker 6 (15:08):
I'm still working on it.
Speaker 9 (15:09):
Work.
Speaker 4 (15:10):
I said, I was working on it.
Speaker 5 (15:12):
The air.
Speaker 4 (15:14):
Work harder.
Speaker 6 (15:15):
That's the Jets coach.
Speaker 5 (15:20):
The Swede helps, the Swedia helps a little bit.
Speaker 4 (15:22):
I'm not gonna lie. We're all exhausted.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
We've done four shows today, but at least we don't
have to travel six hours to talk to Solomon Wilcut.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in

Speaker 6 (15:44):
Is he for me?
Speaker 1 (15:45):
Super Bowl Week starts right now because we are having
former Jets coach John Eric Mangini for me in my lifetime,
He's a top two new York Jets head coach of
all time Rex Ryan, Eric Mangini never should have been fired,
and the coach joins us.
Speaker 4 (16:01):
Right now here on Fox Sports Radio. How you doing, Eric?
Speaker 9 (16:06):
Great with that intro Island. I love that, fantastic listen.
Speaker 4 (16:12):
I love you.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
You delivered me one of the few playoff years that
I've ever had, so thank you for that.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
No worries.
Speaker 9 (16:19):
I enjoyed my time with the Jets.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
Let's start in the obvious place here, the big story
of the week.
Speaker 4 (16:26):
What were your.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
Thoughts when you heard Bill Belichick was not going to
be your first ballot Hall of Famer?
Speaker 4 (16:31):
What were your thoughts?
Speaker 9 (16:33):
Yeah, it didn't make any sense when you look at
his body of work, it's hard to compare him to
any other head coach and think this guy doesn't deserve
to be on the first ballot. And it just felt
like there was maybe some I don't know if it's
pettiness or personal issues associated with it, but you know,
(16:56):
Bill isn't mister personality, and he can rub a lot
of people the wrong way, and he never really cared
what the media thought of him, and the bulk of
the voters are media, so I think it's unfortunate. I
think it is a discredit to the hall because it's
(17:18):
so obvious that anybody that he deserves to be.
Speaker 5 (17:21):
In Eric Izzigutierrez here, I'm curious just how you know him.
Like you mentioned, he doesn't care what the media thinks
about him, right, he probably doesn't care what anybody other
than his peers really think about him. How would you
say that he would view this as sort of a
minor inconvenience or something that he's taking very seriously because
(17:41):
it's not proportionate to what he actually wronged somebody.
Speaker 9 (17:47):
Yeah, look, I'm sure he's frustrated. I don't know how
you couldn't be frustrated with it. But you know, his
mantra was always he didn't worry about the media because
if he lost, they couldn't favor him, and if he won,
they couldn't touch him. And unfortunately, you know that there
is such a role that the media has played, and
(18:11):
it's gotten bigger and bigger as years have gone on,
and and it's proliferated. So I'm I would imagine he
is a football purist. He would look at it based
off of results as opposed to you know, whatever the
the personal associations people may have with him, Eric, what.
Speaker 4 (18:34):
Is your Do you have any sort of relationship with
Bill now?
Speaker 3 (18:38):
Uh no, we're we do not have a relationship.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
So I'm just wondering as the guy who as the coach,
and I applaud you by the way for doing it
at the time, for the coach who kind of, I
don't know, kind of peeled back the curtain on the
flake Gate, what were your feelings like, if that's the
reason he's not in the Hall of Fame, how does
that Eric Mangini feel about Spygate?
Speaker 4 (19:01):
I'm sorry, how does Eric Mangini feel about that?
Speaker 3 (19:05):
Yeah?
Speaker 9 (19:05):
Look, I don't think that's the reason. That may be
part of the reason. There are a lot of things
that happened over the course of time that people have
pointed to, and then people have looked at the way
that the Hall is voting, you know, in terms of
you have to pick three out of the five candidates, right,
you know, I don't those twenty years ago and he
(19:26):
won what three Super Bowls after that? Went to six
one two? Is the coordinator? I mean, I think in retrospect,
look at the the amount of winning that he did
with multiple different types.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
Of teams, and.
Speaker 8 (19:46):
Through the free.
Speaker 9 (19:46):
Agency and salary cap era, there have been a lot
of great coaches who have had great quarterbacks that couldn't.
Speaker 3 (19:55):
Win anywhere near as consistently and builded.
Speaker 4 (19:58):
Right. What'd you make here of the Giants hiring John Harbaugh.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
Yeah, it's you know, it's going to be interesting.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
John.
Speaker 9 (20:09):
John was in a really unique situation in Baltimore. I
actually was with the first ever Baltimore Ravens team and
I was in the interview when we interviewed Eric Tacosta.
He came in as an intern. You know, I was
satting with Ozzy, who's a nest cat guy. I was
a nest cat guy. And you know, he's been there
thirty years and and several people in that personnel department,
(20:33):
including the salary cap pro personnel. Uh, multiple multiple guys
have been part of that department and it's a real strength,
and they have an identity and they've they've done such
a good job over the course of the Baltimore Ravens
time of identifying players and bring bring great players in
(20:55):
and and now he goes to a situation where he's
going to get a lot more responsibility for doing that
which which is his which great and it's something he
earned based off of the success that he had. But
it's challenging. It's extremely challenging. So it's not just coaching
the team, but now being responsible for all those other
(21:16):
decisions were related to personnel in conjunction, you know, with
the GM to try and identify guys that are right
for his program.
Speaker 5 (21:26):
Eric, I'm curious, as you know, I would imagine that
people that go into coaching just love football more than
other people. Right, So you're probably not having a hard
time figuring out what's interesting or most interesting about this
Super Bowl coming out, But from your perspective, what is
like if you're geeking out on this, what's the most
interesting parts or part of the Super Bowl coming up?
Speaker 3 (21:49):
Yeah?
Speaker 9 (21:49):
Look, I love New England defense and that's really been
the story through the playoffs and listen their offense to
face three really really challenging defenses to get to the
super Bowl. But when you look at what they've done
defensive lea, it's very similar to what we did the
first time we won the Super Bowl, where we were
(22:10):
coming off a down year. We brought in a bunch
of players that from all different teams and Mike Brable
was part of that group who we brought in who
is going to be a special teams player, that was
going to be his core identity, and he morphed into
something totally different and then they gained the momentum that
they gained throughout the course of the season. Tom Brady
(22:32):
was in the.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
Second year, Drake may Who's is in the second year.
Speaker 9 (22:36):
They had more wins than we did. We were five
and five at one point and then went on a run.
But during that first Super Bowl run, we only scored
three offensive touchdowns and Tom Brady I think was responsible
for two of those, and then Drew Bledsoe had had
the third. And the defense and the special team. But
(22:57):
really the story and New England's defense is very similar
to that. You know, they're starting a rookie force around
safety and Craig Woodson. You got a guy like Elijah
Ponder who's undrafted free agent who's getting meaningful snaps. You
got guys like Harold Landers from Tennessee or Milton Williams
(23:18):
right on the Electrician Ellis.
Speaker 3 (23:20):
There's so many guys.
Speaker 9 (23:22):
That they brought in and have come together and they're
doing a lot of things. They're matching up, they're disguising
the brain, different glitches each week, multiple fronts. A lot
of that stuff is based off of communication being able
to play well together. So that to me has been
really really fun to watch, especially in the AFC Championship game,
(23:45):
Andrew was hurt and they lost Roberts Blaine pretty early.
You know, all these other other guys had to fill
roles and they did such a good job. That's that's
it's peaking out.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
Why, that's probably where well.
Speaker 4 (24:01):
You geeked out, man, you really did. That was great?
Speaker 5 (24:04):
Yes, yes, well look I'm with you here. And I
actually think that for a bunch of reasons that both
of these quarterbacks are probably going to struggle in the
Super Bowl, not just because they haven't necessarily faced the
type of defense as they're about to face, but also
just all the nerves and everything that comes with the
Super Bowl. So I'm just curious as a coach, right,
if you're going into a game where you think, all right,
(24:24):
maybe my offense or my quarterback specifically is going to struggle,
how do you talk up the rest of the team
to tell them, hey, look this, if we win, it's
going to be because of you. Let's focus on this
this and this without sort of insulting the side of
the ball that you don't think is going to do
particularly well.
Speaker 6 (24:43):
Well.
Speaker 9 (24:43):
It's it's interesting because break May is so new to
this and he had this huge and I felt like,
break May, it is, you know, in a unique situation,
should to get Josh McDaniels in the second year. And
that's that's helped him so much in terms of his
(25:07):
development and and the progress that he's made. But he's
he's very much about, hey, I'll do whatever I need
to do help the team win. He had there's no
ego associated with with with him at this point, which
is which is fantastic. And on the flip side of that,
(25:28):
Damn Darnold kind of had a hero's journey. You know,
he had the frustrating years in New York and they
got rid of him, and then he traveled to with
the Carolina next was starting there with four and two there,
he gets stumped there, goes to San Franz, plays a
year there, then goes to Minnesota, has the excellent season,
kind of falters down the stretch. They don't want to
(25:49):
commit to him. Now he goes to Seattle. So he's
he's really totally uh just changed the narrative. I think
this last game, the NFC Championship, to me was the biggest.
Speaker 3 (26:02):
Change in the narrative because he was.
Speaker 9 (26:05):
A big reason why they won. Where he's been a
big reason why teams have lost in those moments. So
hopefully he's over that hump. And you know, I'm cheering
for me. You love to see a guy who who's
kind of had the arc that he's had be successful.
(26:26):
It's a great story and it's another good lesson for
any young athletes or any athletes that are struggling that, Yeah,
if you work hard and you keep out it, you
can you can get better. And you're not defined by
the moment you're in.
Speaker 3 (26:38):
You're defined by the things that you do.
Speaker 9 (26:41):
Moving forward, and you get to keep rewriting your story.
And Sam's doing an amazing job of that.
Speaker 5 (26:47):
Yeah, we cheer for all former Jets around you.
Speaker 4 (26:50):
I just wish he was still a Jet. Eric, what
was your reaction.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
People don't realize what a big star you were when
you were the head coach of the York Jets, And
I'm wondering what your reaction was when your agent whomever
I asked you, Hey, Sopranos called they want you to
do a cameo.
Speaker 4 (27:08):
What was Eric Mangini's reaction to that?
Speaker 9 (27:12):
So I was actually in a bus.
Speaker 3 (27:13):
We had we had taken a group of players. We
went to see there's a.
Speaker 9 (27:18):
Golden Gloves fight in the city, or a series of fights
in the city, and we had gone to that. We'd
got a bus to go watch the Fight's Teddy Atlas,
you know, was a guy that I was friendly with.
He actually worked with the team. And so we're driving
back in the bus and I got a call on
myself from a producer and I thought it was you know,
I thought it was someone you know, I had a
(27:42):
prank or something like that when they asked me, because
I was, you know, I was such a huge fan.
I love the show. My wife and I watched it religiously,
and then to have an opportunity to be on it,
it was you know, I said yes right away, and
it was so interesting when we went to film the
(28:02):
actual episode, I was supposed to be friends with Tony
and James Gandolfini that look, Eric, you can't, we can't
have you be my friend. People will take it seriously,
and I thought, who would possibly this is a television
show who's going to have a problem with this, But
got quite a few emails and i'm negative reactions.
Speaker 3 (28:25):
To it, saying, you know.
Speaker 9 (28:26):
You're presenting Italian Americans the wrong way, You're presenting pro
football the wrong you know, all the things that people
can sometimes get.
Speaker 3 (28:37):
Up and arms about.
Speaker 9 (28:37):
But it was a great call by James Gandalpini to
have it be more of a hello as opposed to
you good to see again type things right?
Speaker 4 (28:47):
And you thought Jet fans were bad?
Speaker 1 (28:48):
I mean, geez, Eric, we appreciate it. Thank you for
the time. I hope to do it again soon. Sorry
we're short on time, but thank you. Super Bowl and
just started for me.
Speaker 5 (28:58):
Thank you, Eric.
Speaker 9 (28:59):
Yes, no, guys, great to do it.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
All right, appreciate it. The great Eric Mangini, the greatest
check coach.

ninety on x Taylor put it on the.
Speaker 4 (29:49):
Poll late edition.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
Yes, more surprising Joe Flacco making the Pro Bowl this season.
Speaker 5 (29:59):
He just was named the bowler, but we went outside
and came back and Joe Flacco made the Pro Bowl
in twenty twenty six, or the.
Speaker 4 (30:05):
Fact that this is Joe Flacco's first Pro Bowl.
Speaker 5 (30:10):
Pro Bowls are weird?
Speaker 9 (30:11):
Man?
Speaker 5 (30:12):
Can you put this on the pole tail? I'll let
you be the judge of whether you want you want
to put this on bos are weird? Do you imagine
Joe Flack? I don't know why I stud is probably
the dumbest thing I've said in two weeks on the show.
For some reason, I believe Joe Flacco looks exactly like
Vincent Van Goh the artist used to look.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
Ah Vinnie Yeah, do you ever seeg.
Speaker 5 (30:37):
One ear? Do you ever see like well, they cut
it off famously. What I'm not gonna do art history
classes with you now? Go ahead, Okay, long story short,
he's done self portraits. Kind of looks like Joe Flacco
staring off into nothingness when he's on the sideline.
Speaker 4 (30:55):
Okay, let me look up Vinnie van Go just to
see what he looks like.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
Listen, if Vincent van Goh was sitting in these studios
right now, I wouldn't know it look good?
Speaker 4 (31:10):
Did he say that on the air?
Speaker 6 (31:12):
Say it on the air, Vinny van Go sounds like
a good basketball coach.
Speaker 4 (31:15):
Put it on the pole? Tailor does Vinnie van Go
sound like a good basketball coach?
Speaker 9 (31:19):
Wow?
Speaker 5 (31:20):
Also sounds like a good track coach.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
Put it on the pole, Taylor, how do you spell
his last name? Yeah, it's z O g H.
Speaker 4 (31:32):
Too many letters. Shorten it up. You're right, he does
he looks like him.
Speaker 5 (31:37):
Yes, he looks like a pensive Joe Flacco. I'm just saying, yes,
your congratulations Joe your first Pro Bowl.
Speaker 4 (31:43):
When you're right?
Speaker 1 (31:43):
You're right, all right, Taylor, let's uh, let's give the

That was the super Bowl last Sunday in Seattle.
Speaker 7 (32:00):
Oh my god, ray Lewis is here. Can we get

Speaker 5 (32:04):
That, of course, is the great Kevin Rodgers at Sad
Sad Radio. Where we're going. We have to preview, We

Speaker 4 (33:23):
All right, we love you.
Speaker 6 (33:24):
If you disregard the six Super Bowls and past two
plus decades, this Patriots team is kind of likable right now.
Speaker 4 (33:34):
I don't understand the question.
Speaker 6 (33:36):
Is Patriots team likable? Someone's gonna fire off Kevin.
Speaker 4 (33:39):

I'm going to San franciscover the super Bowlvin.
Speaker 6 (33:45):

I'm like, okay, we're we're a little group.
Speaker 1 (33:54):
Wait held out to Taylor before you continue. So, Iowa, Sam,
I love you. I'm disappointed you're not going. I might
call someone at the top of the food chain here
at Fox Premiere and iHeart Radio and demand that IOWA
saying be there. But when Taylor's done, ready the next
pole question, hit the first k roj sound and when
(34:14):
he's done, given the results, hit the second.
Speaker 5 (34:16):
K rog every time, every single time. A right, there's
a lot of yeah a lot of chaining discs over here.
Speaker 4 (34:21):
All right, Yeah, I know, listen, we're terrible with.
Speaker 5 (34:23):
This radio chemistry class lives, Go ahead, Taylor.
Speaker 6 (34:27):
Did you know the Broncos lost once he saw how
many photos Jared Stidham was taking pregames?
Speaker 7 (34:32):
Oh my god, ray Lewis is here? Can we get
Ray Lewis's show before my tongue falls off?
Speaker 6 (34:39):
Eighty seven point six percent of the audience said yes.
Speaker 7 (34:45):
Whenever Ray Lewis walks in, my tongue is bleeding.
Speaker 4 (34:48):
Wow, what was the question again, Taylor, without the sounds, please?
Speaker 6 (34:53):
Did you know the Broncos lost once he saw how
many photos Jared Stidham was taking?
Speaker 4 (34:56):
He took a thousand, Yes, with strangers, with family. It
was like this my last start.
Speaker 6 (35:01):
So were the Jets the toughest team that Sam Darnold
had to overcome on the road to the Super Bowl?
Speaker 10 (35:06):
Oh, hey, Lewis is here?
Speaker 7 (35:08):
Can we get Ray Lewis and the show before my
tongue falls off?
Speaker 6 (35:13):
Ninety five percent of the audience said, Yes, the Jets
were the toughest team.
Speaker 5 (35:17):
I've never actually been talking to a person like, hey.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
That's on you his job And yes, Well ran through
that like a charge.
Speaker 5 (35:26):
In my defense, I wasn't expecting it where it was.
Speaker 6 (35:29):
Supposed to be, and you had every reason not to.
Is football officially over when Seth Greenberg starts popping up
on your TV?
Speaker 10 (35:39):
Yes, Oh my god, Ray Lewis is here.
Speaker 4 (35:43):
Yes, go ahead.
Speaker 6 (35:45):
Ninety percent of the audience said yes.
Speaker 7 (35:49):
Whatever Ray Lewis walks in and my tongue is bleeding.
Speaker 8 (35:52):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (35:53):
Yeah, we are dancing now, we're making music, so what
I'm talking about.
Speaker 6 (35:58):
This question comes courtesy of Mark Slarey state, has Math
ever made a tackle?
Speaker 10 (36:04):
Oh my god, Ray Lewis is here.
Speaker 7 (36:06):
We'll get Ray Lewis the show before my tongue falls off.
Speaker 6 (36:09):
Seventy four percent of the audience said Nope, Matt zero tackles.
Speaker 8 (36:15):
Right.
Speaker 7 (36:16):
Let's see whatever Ray Lewis walks in. My the tongue
is bleeding.
Speaker 5 (36:21):
I disagree. I think Matt has tripped up stude got
several times.
Speaker 1 (36:23):
Yes, that my tongue is bleeding is perfectly acceptable. Anything
after he's done, given the results, I love that, Go
ahead him.
Speaker 6 (36:30):
If Tom Brady didn't win the Super Bowl with Tampa,
is Bill Belichick in the Hall of Fame today?
Speaker 7 (36:36):
Oh my god, Ray Lewis is, here, can get Ray
Lewis the show? Before my tongue falls off?
Speaker 1 (36:42):
I do believe that that Belichick would be in the
Hall of Fame, that Brady not left gone to Tampa,
won a Super Bowl A Bruzarians Yes.
Speaker 6 (36:49):
Sixty six point two percent of the audience said, yes,
Brady Hall of Fame.
Speaker 5 (36:52):
In fact, I think Bill Belichick would be doing games
on five. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Jesus, I'm sorry, Miami
Sam over here.
Speaker 4 (37:02):
Sorry?
Speaker 6 (37:03):
Will Bill Belichick's Hall of Fame speech just be thanks?
Speaker 4 (37:09):
Not anymore?
Speaker 7 (37:14):
Dude, Lewis said, here, can we get Ray Lewis the show?
Before my tongue falls off?
Speaker 4 (37:19):
It just dawned on me the Iowa Sam is playing chess.
We're playing checkers.
Speaker 1 (37:23):
I mean he is, and I love him for it
because this show is sloppy, and I'm okay with Iowa
Sam picking and choosing the.
Speaker 4 (37:32):
Tops he wants to play the sounds that he's supposed
to play.
Speaker 6 (37:35):
You guys have never not a gun at my feet
and I'm dancing.
Speaker 5 (37:37):
I'm trying here, We're dancing. Yes, started bleeding.
Speaker 4 (37:40):
Listen. It's Isy's fault, all of it.
Speaker 5 (37:42):
No, it's not Taylor, what's the last one?
Speaker 6 (37:44):
Ninety two point two percent of the audience said yes,
Bill Belichick's All Fame spirits, will just briefing Lewis there.
Speaker 7 (37:49):
It is whatever ray Lewis walks in, My tongue is bleeding.
Speaker 4 (37:54):
We're putting so much an Eyeowa, Sam, you can't even see.
Speaker 6 (37:56):
This question comes courtesy of mikey A Yes, tally. Is
every team playing for a championship on the verge of
a potential dynasty?
Speaker 7 (38:04):
Oh my god, ray Lewis is here? Can get ray
Lewis in the show before?
Speaker 6 (38:09):
Seventy two point one percent of the audience said yes, technically.
Speaker 5 (38:12):
Okay, now we're going to do this all over again

Speaker 2 (00:20):
Let's you're listening to Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
Eric Mangini, former Jets head coach, good to join us
at around four twenty.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
Is y.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
I saw you perk up during the UH during the
update there, which is odd, but you perked up.
Speaker 4 (00:40):
Yeah, well.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
You perked up during the Viking sound. What made you
perk up like that? Why were you so interested?
Speaker 5 (00:49):
The combination of the actual sound and Taylor being excited too,
because as we were, Isaac was discussing the news and
do fomentsa getting fired by the Vikings. They're giving reasons
as to why, and then Taylor said it's because of
Sam Darton.
Speaker 6 (01:08):
Well they said it's not because of any one singular decision. Yes,
and that's where I have a a BS meter.
Speaker 4 (01:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (01:18):
It was going off like crazy, really because that is
exactly what happens when the quarterback you let walk goes
to the Super Bowl and the quarterback that you have
as a result looks like JJ McCarthy. That gets you
fired ten times out of ten.
Speaker 5 (01:33):
Well, I'm looking at a stat right now, sorry Stu,
but it's a few as starts by draft picks since
twenty twenty two, and if the Dolphins are the worst
at one hundred and twenty two starts, which tells you
about my fandom and what I've been dealing with. Where
the Vikings are second at one hundred and seventy two
and there's like another fifty start gap between them and
third place there and that's its twenty twenty two. But
(01:54):
the results have been there, the wins and losses have
been there, except it's been zero to two in the playoffs.
And I'm like, after watching Chris Greer here with the
Dolphins survive so many you know, calls for his firing.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
That's because they have a loyal owner though I mean they.
Speaker 5 (02:08):
Just right, but loyal for what reasons? You know, you
have mensa here, like just getting canned that for four
years and they were pretty.
Speaker 4 (02:14):
Good, they were okay, but you can't listen.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
You have a choice at quarterback and it's Jj McCarthy
or Sam Donald, And you choose JJ McCarthy over Sam Donald.
Speaker 4 (02:25):
After Sam goes fourteen and three, you're losing the playoffs.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
They understand, But he goes fourteen and three, and then
the next year Sam signs with the Seahawks. Your quarterback
keeps getting hurt, Your former quarterback is in the Super Bowl.
Speaker 5 (02:37):
What does that do though? If you're gonna say, all right,
I'm gonna fall for that narrative, I'm going to go
ahead and say, you know what, that makes sense.
Speaker 4 (02:45):
Let me get rid of him.
Speaker 5 (02:46):
Does that mean that JJ McCarthy is not well thought
of in the organization? Does that mean that the next
GM is going to say, hey, we've got to find
another quarterback because JJ's not it. And if that's the case,
like if everybody else in the organization is getting that sense, right,
why am I going to give it my all for
this guy? Why is you know, why are we even
going with JJ to begin with? I do think it
(03:08):
needs to be addressed, like when they say it wasn't
because of any one move just say the names. Hey,
we are in with JJ McCarthy, we want him to
be our quarterback. There is no judgment on him quite yet.
We still think he's going to be great, but just
getting rid of the GM right now when that is
the one sort of move that stands out.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
I don't know if that does well for your locker.
I have the Jets trading for JJ McCarthy.
Speaker 6 (03:29):
No, man, that's about fitting, that's about right, or Kirk
Cousins because the Falcons are expected or release Kirk Cousins.
The odds that JJ McCarthy or Kirk Cousins is the
next Jets starting quarterback for next season minus five thousand?
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Is he He bet on his head coach being the
quarterback whisperer and he lost.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
That's it.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
And the coach, Kevin O'Connell's not getting fired. They love
Kevin O'Connell. I don't know why, but they do. Kevin
O'Connell made the same decision, and as the GM, he's
the head coach, he's the guy working with the quarterbacks
every single day, and the guy he decided to let
go to Seattle is playing in the Super Bowl.
Speaker 4 (04:12):
Right.
Speaker 5 (04:12):
It doesn't seem like it is a GM's fault. If
he were to have assessed a talent and said, hey,
that's a good talent, and then the coaching staff did
nothing with it, Like if it goes somewhere else of
that player, if the player goes somewhere else and does well,
then you should probably hate GM's good coaches. You guys
(04:33):
are in the house. You guys are the ones responsible
for getting the best out of a singular player. The
GM's just responsible for identifying it.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
We had Salvacata on a Stegatson Company earlier today. It's
been out for a while, and now he brought up
an interesting point. When did we all start caring about
the Hall of Fame? Like suddenly everyone cares about the
Hall of Fame for a ridiculous reason, but no one
ever cares about the Hall of Fame.
Speaker 5 (05:02):
I couldn't tell you, like what coaches are really in
the Hall of Fame. Like I if you ask me
who is some of the greatest coaches in the history
of the NFL, I could name off a few names,
but I imagine there's way more coaches in the NFL that
I have any idea that exist in that league. And
I think it's yeah, it's one hundred percent right, which
is why I was saying yesterday, it's the only thing
(05:23):
that you could say about Bill Belichick that have people
coming to his defense.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
It's crazy.
Speaker 5 (05:28):
You actually you don't really care about the Hall of Fame,
but in your mind, you know, this guy's a first
ballot Hall of Famer. He didn't get that thing. Here
comes the outrage, but doesn't really matter every single year,
nobody really cares that much.
Speaker 4 (05:40):
You're right.
Speaker 6 (05:40):
Can I tell you, guys a something that is a
revelation but it's not going to shock you at all.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
Okay, well it's not a revelation, but go ahead.
Speaker 6 (05:48):
I believe it was twenty twenty one. I had one
day of PTO left and I took it to go
see Derek Jeter get enshrined in Cooperstown.
Speaker 5 (05:57):
See that's a little different. You get the opportunity to
see like a childhood hero in person in any capacity,
much less something that means so much to that player.
That's pretty cool. But who else got in shrine that day?
What were their stories, what were their speeches, what were
their histories? Like, I bet you don't remember.
Speaker 6 (06:16):
To be honest, I don't remember because in my mind
only Jeter went in that.
Speaker 5 (06:21):
It could have been Jeter opening five guys Burgers and
it would be like, Wow, what a day.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
Taylor, do me a favorite. See who else was in
that class?
Speaker 1 (06:29):
Okay, I want to see who you're dismissing right now,
if possible? Who else was in Derek Jeter's Hall of
Fame class? Tail Or a big, big Yankee fan of
course his final day PTO who spent in Cooper's down.
Speaker 4 (06:46):
I have never been prouder of you. Do you hear me? Son?
Speaker 7 (06:49):
Son?
Speaker 5 (06:49):
How you're his son? Seriously?
Speaker 4 (06:51):
Though he's looking up Derek Jeter's Hall of Fame class.
Speaker 6 (06:54):
I'll tell you, I'll tell you why. Yeah, it was
Derek Jeter, Ted Simmons.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
Really, the Brewers catcher, and Larry Walker what it might
as well have only been Jeter. Yes, you're right, Larry
Walker benefited from playing a Coors Field.
Speaker 5 (07:12):
You could have told me that second name was made up.
Who else was that? You said? The Brewers catcher?
Speaker 4 (07:16):
Oh, Teddy Simmons. Never heard of him? Yeah, Teddy ball game?
Yeah that's not Teddy.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Simba one of the great catchers of all time. I
mean he is really, yes, Tim and Johnny Bench yah
yeh huh.
Speaker 4 (07:29):
He's in the Hall of Fame.
Speaker 5 (07:30):
I mean, but I mean he wasn't first ballot, right
that what may Tries.
Speaker 6 (07:34):
Was that so he retired in nineteen eighty eight? Is
he He got inducted in twenty twenty, So I'm guessing
that wasn't the first bout exactly.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
It's unfortunate when you have to go in with Jeter
it is. That's not a guy.
Speaker 4 (07:45):
And perhaps Bobcraft is right he didn't want.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
To go in the same weekend as Bill Belichick because
you get buried.
Speaker 5 (07:50):
Yeah, okay, how just by his name because you know
his speech is going to be terrible. Like I don't
think Bill Belichick if it wasn't if it was just
this year and people Bill Belichick going into the Hall
of Fame, I think it would just be an afterthought.
I don't even think you'd see it until like the
first set of commercials on Sports Center.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
There are certain guys, regardless of whether or not I
think their speech is going to be boring, where I
will go out of my way to watch them be
inducted into the Hall of Fame. Belichick was probably one
of those guys, now even more so because I can't
wait for his speech because he'll go scorch dearth on
everyone is he? But Belichick is probably my larger point
(08:27):
is there is a guy in every Hall of Fame
class where they are the more key, right, And you
don't want to go in with a guy like Derek Jeter.
You don't want to go in the same year Tom
Brady goes in. You don't want to go in the
same year Bill Belichick goes in. I understand that. I mean,
Bob Kraft needs to understand that we don't care when
he goes in, whether it's with Belichick or not. We're
(08:50):
not going to care about what Bob Kraft has to say.
I don't care what owners have to say. But I
am interested in this coach, his speech and when he
gets inducted into the Hall of Fame because he's great.
He's the greatest coach he's ever lived.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
Period.
Speaker 5 (09:02):
Yeah, I'm interested too. And Okay, so it's August eighth.
What do you think about this? He shouldn't go into
the Hall of Fame while he's still coaching, because like
he's gonna be sitting there, well, I mean still has
a job. Let's put it that way, because you know
how he is. And it's probably about a month before
his season starts, Like you're supposed to be sitting there
(09:25):
celebrating laying back, patting yourself on the back for everything
you've done. You know, in his mind, he's just gonna
be like, can we get this over with? I got
I gotta prepare for I don't even know who the
opener is.
Speaker 6 (09:33):
I gotta prepare forland he see you in Ireland?
Speaker 5 (09:37):
How have I not known that?
Speaker 4 (09:38):
By now?
Speaker 1 (09:39):
He knew that right off the top of his dome,
all right, But Derek Jeters Hall of Fame class and
Ted Simmons took him hours.
Speaker 5 (09:45):
I mean, Bill Belichick's gonna be up there thinking about
how the weather in the UK is going to affect
his UNC football team. He's not gonna care about his
speech and about making people cry, making people think about
his childhood. He's just gonna want to move on.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
Mike yeas all right, And I can't believe we kind
of glossed over it.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
And when he said it.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
But Pollyon did he got ten people to vote again
Bill Belichick, so he didn't have to be the one.
I mean, God, this Stu Gods is strong than him.
Speaker 4 (10:13):
It's a good move by Pollyon.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Yeah, but you hear him like he's all he's so
nervous during that during that statement, it makes you feel
like there's some holes in the story, you know what
I'm saying. Yeah, Bill Hollan, Yeah.
Speaker 5 (10:29):
I said no, it was just setting up for a joke.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
Let's go to raj in Orange County. Go ahead, Rajio.
See hey, what's going on? So what up?
Speaker 8 (10:43):
Yeah? When the next time you're coming down to UHC,
you gonna come for Ahana Fest September or what.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
I went to Ahana Fest a couple of years ago.
It was fantastic with Eddie Vedder on the beach there.
I don't know when the next time. I'm going to
be back, hopefully in a year or two.
Speaker 8 (10:58):
A man, we'll let you down here.
Speaker 9 (10:59):
What do you just say? The Ritz?
Speaker 1 (11:01):
I stayed at the Is it the Saint Regis? Well,
I've stayed at the Ritz before. Monarch Bay is where
I stay that hotel, room number five thirteen.
Speaker 8 (11:14):
Yeah, you know, it's pretty crazy. So's the last time
you work this much like you've been on the air,
on the air like every day this month.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
Ever that like never, no, no, you're asking that this
is the hardest I've ever worked, period, and the discussion
two consecutive weeks.
Speaker 4 (11:30):
It's crazy, and I'm going to super Bowl nuts.
Speaker 5 (11:33):
I mean, well, he's had you on the air this
long ride.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
Tell me about it.
Speaker 6 (11:41):
Yeah, where's radio row this year?
Speaker 4 (11:45):
In San Francisco? Where the Super Bowl?
Speaker 3 (11:47):
Right?
Speaker 8 (11:47):
Is it by like the Chase Stadium. It's not a LEVI.
Speaker 6 (11:49):
Isn't believe it's in San Jose.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
Listen.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
I just uh, I walk, I follow the crowd, and
when I get there, I get there, and then I
and then I dominate.
Speaker 5 (11:57):
That's what I do, percent man.
Speaker 8 (12:00):
I mean in both starts till Jim Rome gets there.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
Right.
Speaker 4 (12:03):
Well, now, it doesn't start until I get there. How
about that? Hey, let's go all right, roj love you.
Speaker 5 (12:08):
Thank you about Wait wait wait, Roger had a Nassi
Open question. Didn't even ask it?
Speaker 4 (12:11):
Oh he didn't. He's been on the phone forever.
Speaker 8 (12:14):
All right, man, how about that tennis down under? I
mean Djokovic.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
Do we need to look into that?
Speaker 9 (12:19):
I mean, everyone's cramping, Sinner, Mussetti, alcraz all cramp and
then Djokovic thirty eight.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
Should we be look into that?
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Or just he got two walkovers? I mean he should
be out of the tournament already.
Speaker 4 (12:29):
He was down two.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
Sets and gonna walk over. Yes, we should be looking
into this. How is Djokovic surviving this and no one
else is graty?
Speaker 5 (12:37):
I would check the bank accounts of those two players today.
Let him walk over.
Speaker 6 (12:41):
You're saying that Djokovic is surviving this. If you watched
that match today against Sinner, Yeah, he was bury.
Speaker 5 (12:48):
Survive many every point until the fifth set.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
Somehow, guys, listen to me, this is what tennis players
have to do when they age. Okay, So if you're
down too, so when it's set, you're down three in
a set, normally he would try to fight back when
he was younger in his pride, but he just lets
it go because he wants to conserve and save his
energy for the fifth set, a set that he has
to win. And so that's what you saw that. You
saw a guy it's like a kg vet. You saw
(13:15):
him being smart with his energy, okay, because he only
has so much at this point in his life.
Speaker 5 (13:21):
That's that's what I saw him. Even in the sets
he was losing, Stu cats have no air. He wasn't reaching,
he couldn't couldn't.
Speaker 4 (13:27):
Bring one to the last two standings.
Speaker 5 (13:29):
So how about that somehow found that accident in the
last set. The last two sets actually.
Speaker 4 (13:34):
Let's go to uh Derek in Pennsylvania. Go ahead, Derek, Hey,
what's up?
Speaker 8 (13:39):
Guys? First off? Hall of Fame, the Kirby Pucket first ballot. Okay,
if you look at his stats or know you've got
a stack guy, look at him and compare him to
Don Maddingly. Yeah, identical, and Don Maddingley actually has better stats.
I just want to move on to main Genie. Yeah,
(14:00):
the Cleveland Browns fan. The three greatest weeks of Cleveland
Browns fan ever was when Mangini was coach. Remember when
he stomped the Patriots yep, three weeks in a row.
It was it was the best teams in the NFL,
and then looking down to the Staints and then Breylan
Edwards dropped a touchdown in the end zone or they
(14:23):
would have beat the Saints. So if you got him
on air, ask him about those three weeks, because those
are the best three weeks of Cleveland Browns football ever.
Speaker 5 (14:32):
All right, what's that I remember to ask him?
Speaker 1 (14:33):
No, I'm going to apologize in advance for not asking
him about those three weeks.
Speaker 4 (14:41):
I try to ask.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
I mean, Derek, I love you, but I just I can't, like,
we have a limited amount of time with Eric Mangini,
and he is the greatest coach in Jet's history of
my lifetime. It's him a Rex Ryan okay, and I
want to thank him for getting me to the playoffs.
Once go ahead, Taylor.
Speaker 6 (14:56):
My word association when I hear Eric Mangini, besides just Man,
genius is sopranos. And I've been working on my James
Gandalfini impression. Where he goes that's the Jets coach.
Speaker 5 (15:06):
Just still working on that.
Speaker 6 (15:08):
I'm still working on it.
Speaker 9 (15:09):
Work.
Speaker 4 (15:10):
I said, I was working on it.
Speaker 5 (15:12):
The air.
Speaker 4 (15:14):
Work harder.
Speaker 6 (15:15):
That's the Jets coach.
Speaker 5 (15:20):
The Swede helps, the Swedia helps a little bit.
Speaker 4 (15:22):
I'm not gonna lie. We're all exhausted.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
We've done four shows today, but at least we don't
have to travel six hours to talk to Solomon Wilcut.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in
the nation. Catch all of our shows at Foxsports Radio
dot com and within the iHeartRadio app search fs R
to listen live.
Speaker 6 (15:44):
Is he for me?
Speaker 1 (15:45):
Super Bowl Week starts right now because we are having
former Jets coach John Eric Mangini for me in my lifetime,
He's a top two new York Jets head coach of
all time Rex Ryan, Eric Mangini never should have been fired,
and the coach joins us.
Speaker 4 (16:01):
Right now here on Fox Sports Radio. How you doing, Eric?
Speaker 9 (16:06):
Great with that intro Island. I love that, fantastic listen.
Speaker 4 (16:12):
I love you.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
You delivered me one of the few playoff years that
I've ever had, so thank you for that.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
No worries.
Speaker 9 (16:19):
I enjoyed my time with the Jets.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
Let's start in the obvious place here, the big story
of the week.
Speaker 4 (16:26):
What were your.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
Thoughts when you heard Bill Belichick was not going to
be your first ballot Hall of Famer?
Speaker 4 (16:31):
What were your thoughts?
Speaker 9 (16:33):
Yeah, it didn't make any sense when you look at
his body of work, it's hard to compare him to
any other head coach and think this guy doesn't deserve
to be on the first ballot. And it just felt
like there was maybe some I don't know if it's
pettiness or personal issues associated with it, but you know,
(16:56):
Bill isn't mister personality, and he can rub a lot
of people the wrong way, and he never really cared
what the media thought of him, and the bulk of
the voters are media, so I think it's unfortunate. I
think it is a discredit to the hall because it's
(17:18):
so obvious that anybody that he deserves to be.
Speaker 5 (17:21):
In Eric Izzigutierrez here, I'm curious just how you know him.
Like you mentioned, he doesn't care what the media thinks
about him, right, he probably doesn't care what anybody other
than his peers really think about him. How would you
say that he would view this as sort of a
minor inconvenience or something that he's taking very seriously because
(17:41):
it's not proportionate to what he actually wronged somebody.
Speaker 9 (17:47):
Yeah, look, I'm sure he's frustrated. I don't know how
you couldn't be frustrated with it. But you know, his
mantra was always he didn't worry about the media because
if he lost, they couldn't favor him, and if he won,
they couldn't touch him. And unfortunately, you know that there
is such a role that the media has played, and
(18:11):
it's gotten bigger and bigger as years have gone on,
and and it's proliferated. So I'm I would imagine he
is a football purist. He would look at it based
off of results as opposed to you know, whatever the
the personal associations people may have with him, Eric, what.
Speaker 4 (18:34):
Is your Do you have any sort of relationship with
Bill now?
Speaker 3 (18:38):
Uh no, we're we do not have a relationship.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
So I'm just wondering as the guy who as the coach,
and I applaud you by the way for doing it
at the time, for the coach who kind of, I
don't know, kind of peeled back the curtain on the
flake Gate, what were your feelings like, if that's the
reason he's not in the Hall of Fame, how does
that Eric Mangini feel about Spygate?
Speaker 4 (19:01):
I'm sorry, how does Eric Mangini feel about that?
Speaker 3 (19:05):
Yeah?
Speaker 9 (19:05):
Look, I don't think that's the reason. That may be
part of the reason. There are a lot of things
that happened over the course of time that people have
pointed to, and then people have looked at the way
that the Hall is voting, you know, in terms of
you have to pick three out of the five candidates, right,
you know, I don't those twenty years ago and he
(19:26):
won what three Super Bowls after that? Went to six
one two? Is the coordinator? I mean, I think in retrospect,
look at the the amount of winning that he did
with multiple different types.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
Of teams, and.
Speaker 8 (19:46):
Through the free.
Speaker 9 (19:46):
Agency and salary cap era, there have been a lot
of great coaches who have had great quarterbacks that couldn't.
Speaker 3 (19:55):
Win anywhere near as consistently and builded.
Speaker 4 (19:58):
Right. What'd you make here of the Giants hiring John Harbaugh.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
Yeah, it's you know, it's going to be interesting.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
John.
Speaker 9 (20:09):
John was in a really unique situation in Baltimore. I
actually was with the first ever Baltimore Ravens team and
I was in the interview when we interviewed Eric Tacosta.
He came in as an intern. You know, I was
satting with Ozzy, who's a nest cat guy. I was
a nest cat guy. And you know, he's been there
thirty years and and several people in that personnel department,
(20:33):
including the salary cap pro personnel. Uh, multiple multiple guys
have been part of that department and it's a real strength,
and they have an identity and they've they've done such
a good job over the course of the Baltimore Ravens
time of identifying players and bring bring great players in
(20:55):
and and now he goes to a situation where he's
going to get a lot more responsibility for doing that
which which is his which great and it's something he
earned based off of the success that he had. But
it's challenging. It's extremely challenging. So it's not just coaching
the team, but now being responsible for all those other
(21:16):
decisions were related to personnel in conjunction, you know, with
the GM to try and identify guys that are right
for his program.
Speaker 5 (21:26):
Eric, I'm curious, as you know, I would imagine that
people that go into coaching just love football more than
other people. Right, So you're probably not having a hard
time figuring out what's interesting or most interesting about this
Super Bowl coming out, But from your perspective, what is
like if you're geeking out on this, what's the most
interesting parts or part of the Super Bowl coming up?
Speaker 3 (21:49):
Yeah?
Speaker 9 (21:49):
Look, I love New England defense and that's really been
the story through the playoffs and listen their offense to
face three really really challenging defenses to get to the
super Bowl. But when you look at what they've done
defensive lea, it's very similar to what we did the
first time we won the Super Bowl, where we were
(22:10):
coming off a down year. We brought in a bunch
of players that from all different teams and Mike Brable
was part of that group who we brought in who
is going to be a special teams player, that was
going to be his core identity, and he morphed into
something totally different and then they gained the momentum that
they gained throughout the course of the season. Tom Brady
(22:32):
was in the.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
Second year, Drake may Who's is in the second year.
Speaker 9 (22:36):
They had more wins than we did. We were five
and five at one point and then went on a run.
But during that first Super Bowl run, we only scored
three offensive touchdowns and Tom Brady I think was responsible
for two of those, and then Drew Bledsoe had had
the third. And the defense and the special team. But
(22:57):
really the story and New England's defense is very similar
to that. You know, they're starting a rookie force around
safety and Craig Woodson. You got a guy like Elijah
Ponder who's undrafted free agent who's getting meaningful snaps. You
got guys like Harold Landers from Tennessee or Milton Williams
(23:18):
right on the Electrician Ellis.
Speaker 3 (23:20):
There's so many guys.
Speaker 9 (23:22):
That they brought in and have come together and they're
doing a lot of things. They're matching up, they're disguising
the brain, different glitches each week, multiple fronts. A lot
of that stuff is based off of communication being able
to play well together. So that to me has been
really really fun to watch, especially in the AFC Championship game,
(23:45):
Andrew was hurt and they lost Roberts Blaine pretty early.
You know, all these other other guys had to fill
roles and they did such a good job. That's that's
it's peaking out.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
Why, that's probably where well.
Speaker 4 (24:01):
You geeked out, man, you really did. That was great?
Speaker 5 (24:04):
Yes, yes, well look I'm with you here. And I
actually think that for a bunch of reasons that both
of these quarterbacks are probably going to struggle in the
Super Bowl, not just because they haven't necessarily faced the
type of defense as they're about to face, but also
just all the nerves and everything that comes with the
Super Bowl. So I'm just curious as a coach, right,
if you're going into a game where you think, all right,
(24:24):
maybe my offense or my quarterback specifically is going to struggle,
how do you talk up the rest of the team
to tell them, hey, look this, if we win, it's
going to be because of you. Let's focus on this
this and this without sort of insulting the side of
the ball that you don't think is going to do
particularly well.
Speaker 6 (24:43):
Well.
Speaker 9 (24:43):
It's it's interesting because break May is so new to
this and he had this huge and I felt like,
break May, it is, you know, in a unique situation,
should to get Josh McDaniels in the second year. And
that's that's helped him so much in terms of his
(25:07):
development and and the progress that he's made. But he's
he's very much about, hey, I'll do whatever I need
to do help the team win. He had there's no
ego associated with with with him at this point, which
is which is fantastic. And on the flip side of that,
(25:28):
Damn Darnold kind of had a hero's journey. You know,
he had the frustrating years in New York and they
got rid of him, and then he traveled to with
the Carolina next was starting there with four and two there,
he gets stumped there, goes to San Franz, plays a
year there, then goes to Minnesota, has the excellent season,
kind of falters down the stretch. They don't want to
(25:49):
commit to him. Now he goes to Seattle. So he's
he's really totally uh just changed the narrative. I think
this last game, the NFC Championship, to me was the biggest.
Speaker 3 (26:02):
Change in the narrative because he was.
Speaker 9 (26:05):
A big reason why they won. Where he's been a
big reason why teams have lost in those moments. So
hopefully he's over that hump. And you know, I'm cheering
for me. You love to see a guy who who's
kind of had the arc that he's had be successful.
(26:26):
It's a great story and it's another good lesson for
any young athletes or any athletes that are struggling that, Yeah,
if you work hard and you keep out it, you
can you can get better. And you're not defined by
the moment you're in.
Speaker 3 (26:38):
You're defined by the things that you do.
Speaker 9 (26:41):
Moving forward, and you get to keep rewriting your story.
And Sam's doing an amazing job of that.
Speaker 5 (26:47):
Yeah, we cheer for all former Jets around you.
Speaker 4 (26:50):
I just wish he was still a Jet. Eric, what
was your reaction.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
People don't realize what a big star you were when
you were the head coach of the York Jets, And
I'm wondering what your reaction was when your agent whomever
I asked you, Hey, Sopranos called they want you to
do a cameo.
Speaker 4 (27:08):
What was Eric Mangini's reaction to that?
Speaker 9 (27:12):
So I was actually in a bus.
Speaker 3 (27:13):
We had we had taken a group of players. We
went to see there's a.
Speaker 9 (27:18):
Golden Gloves fight in the city, or a series of fights
in the city, and we had gone to that. We'd
got a bus to go watch the Fight's Teddy Atlas,
you know, was a guy that I was friendly with.
He actually worked with the team. And so we're driving
back in the bus and I got a call on
myself from a producer and I thought it was you know,
I thought it was someone you know, I had a
(27:42):
prank or something like that when they asked me, because
I was, you know, I was such a huge fan.
I love the show. My wife and I watched it religiously,
and then to have an opportunity to be on it,
it was you know, I said yes right away, and
it was so interesting when we went to film the
(28:02):
actual episode, I was supposed to be friends with Tony
and James Gandolfini that look, Eric, you can't, we can't
have you be my friend. People will take it seriously,
and I thought, who would possibly this is a television
show who's going to have a problem with this, But
got quite a few emails and i'm negative reactions.
Speaker 3 (28:25):
To it, saying, you know.

staring off into nothingness when he's on the sideline.

see what he looks like.

Betrayal Season 5
Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
