Speaker 6 (01:24):
On and you're now My goodness, I'm not going to
recognize the NBA when this week is over. There's so
much stuff going on. But here I am in a
radio row. But that's all right because we have Errell Davis.

turn us down It's like yeah, yeah.
Speaker 6 (01:40):
Yeah, sorry, apologize, Yeah, figure out.
Speaker 7 (01:43):
I used to know coach Dongee was using that one,
so I used to know how to work these things.
Oh was coach Dungee? Yeah yeah, he had to turn
it up for OK. I understand. Yes, how are you man?
Speaker 4 (01:54):
Doing fantastic?
Speaker 8 (01:55):
Always great to be back at the sight of any
Super Bowl. Right from here, the memories just start flowing.
Speaker 9 (02:02):
Yep.
Speaker 8 (02:03):
That Banner's pretty cool right there. I was just checking
that out. That's Super Bowl thirty two. Yeap, San Diego.
That was the first one.
Speaker 4 (02:09):
Yeah, you're just always going to stand playing shape then, huh,
I'm gonna try.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
I feel like I could hand you the ball twenty
five times right now when you would get one hundred
and seventy yards.
Speaker 8 (02:17):
I think, I don't know, I just picked the random number,
not two hundred two hundred.
Speaker 4 (02:21):
But I feel like you could still do it, man.
Speaker 8 (02:24):
And I wouldn't make it. I wouldn't make it past
two plays. I'd be one and done. That game, that
game is. That game is harder to you than it looks. Man,
that's a tough game.
Speaker 4 (02:34):
We have no idea what we're watching every Sunday. Is
that correct?
Speaker 3 (02:36):
Because all we do is pay attention to the quarterbacks.
I don't I don't know what tackles do and guards do,
what centers do, And.
Speaker 4 (02:41):
I have no idea.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
The game is so complex, and yet all we do
is focus on you guys, the running back, yeah, the
wide receivers and the quarterback.
Speaker 6 (02:48):
Well, the care only lets you see a little bit
of the field. You can't see the rest of the
field unless you're at the game.
Speaker 9 (02:52):
I know.
Speaker 4 (02:52):
But what goes into being a great team? We have
no idea. We don't. Yeah, well, I think it starts.
Speaker 8 (02:57):
It starts with, you know, it starts with some quarterbacks
that can at least hold it down right, have the
ability to be able to fight off defenses no matter
what kind of scheme they bring. I'm just I'm never
gonna say I'm old school, but I am a firm
believerer that the offense has to have a right and
(03:18):
left hook right, you know, And a lot of these
offenses that we watched, they're just one dimensional. One dimensional
they have they have a right hook, and so they
never use a running game to set up anything. When
we all get in situations where you know you've got
to run the ball, can you run the ball and
move the chain when the defense know you're gonna run
(03:38):
the ball, everybody wants to try to outscheme you and
outsmart you and make you think something and do something different.
I'm like, man, sometimes you just gotta line up and
play football.
Speaker 4 (03:47):
You can you do that?
Speaker 10 (03:48):
You know?
Speaker 6 (03:49):
Your guys's Broncos team just reminds me of a time
where there wasn't as much parody in the NFL, and
there was just more narratives, right, a lot of you
know you winning super Bowls, winn again, VP, John Elway,
finally getting his and getting a couple.
Speaker 4 (04:01):
I'm just curious what you think about like.
Speaker 6 (04:02):
Today's game, where it could be before the season, the
odds were this is the longest odds ever for a
Super Bowl matchup?
Speaker 4 (04:08):
Just is that good for the league? Bad for the league.
Speaker 6 (04:10):
As a fan of football, do you like watching a
team that could pop up and show with the Super
Bowl in the here?
Speaker 9 (04:14):
No? I like that.
Speaker 8 (04:15):
I like to have this so I like to have
those those dominant teams here and like once to every
once in a while, sneaking a team that you know,
we didn't expect. But yes, man, give me the you know,
give me the teams. We kind of know the Chiefs
will be there.
Speaker 6 (04:29):
That's why when the Patriots started their run, it was
this mega hey, greatest team on turf, the Rams and
this out of nowhere team came out and beat them
and then they created their own legacy.
Speaker 4 (04:41):
But you don't really have as many of those anymore.
Speaker 9 (04:43):
No, No, it really is.
Speaker 8 (04:44):
I don't I don't know, And that's why, you know,
It's funny when you listen to you know, the pundits
and we talk about we always got to say who's
going to go? And then there's always people who say
that that's there's teams that have no shot at it.
I'm like, are you sure about that? Like, how are
we sure that that team would never? And we don't
know that, you know, but you're but you're saying, you know,
(05:05):
a lot of times will pick a team based off
the history or the logo, and just like this year,
no one thought that Denver was going to be any good.
And I'm like, I don't know, are you sure about that?
You know, because the Denver got no love. I'm like,
all right, but are you sure about that?
Speaker 9 (05:20):
No?
Speaker 8 (05:20):
They didn't play anybody last year they played with bo.
I was like, man, but if you're not around them,
you don't see the growth. You don't see that team
and what and the pieces that they had, uh they
got They've got a really good building block to become
a real good team. And obviously unfortunately we got our
starting quarterback hurt and things didn't look good in the
championship game. But you know, I'm never one to say, well,
(05:43):
you got to the AFC Championship game. So now next
year you're going to be in the super Bowl. Every
year is different, like it's different, different, So they'll be okay.
And I think Sean I have them with the right mindset,
but too many people and maybe it's more fans like y'all. Yeah,
so next year are we going with? I'm like, it
doesn't necessarily work like that. And let me give you
(06:04):
some examples. Don't we have a due named Lamar Jackson?
Speaker 4 (06:10):
Yep, multiple time.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
Ye never been to a championship in a super Bowl,
never been to a championship game.
Speaker 4 (06:15):
I would have waged my house.
Speaker 8 (06:18):
This man would have seen a Super Bowl by now,
how about Josh Allen, I would have waged my home.
Speaker 4 (06:22):
Yes, thanks Patrick mahone.
Speaker 7 (06:24):
So if it worked, if it.
Speaker 4 (06:27):
Worked, Jalen Hurts gets the two. It's just a random thing.
You just never know, man, You never know, Yes, never know,
So take advantage.
Speaker 9 (06:34):
While you can.
Speaker 4 (06:35):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
Tom Brady said he doesn't have a rooting interest in
this game, which I find to be patently absurd.
Speaker 4 (06:40):
I think he's lying.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
You had a root yet he has to say that, Yeah,
but you rooting for you were rooting for the Denver
Broncos were just in the championship gamage game.
Speaker 4 (06:50):
I don't come.
Speaker 8 (06:51):
I'm not in I'm not in radio TV anymore. I'm
at a billion I can do what the hell I
want to do. I don't have to do anything.
Speaker 4 (06:57):
Okay, So what he had to say, he has to
say that he won six super Bowls there, but he so.
Do you believe that Tom Brady has no rooting interest
in the game.
Speaker 5 (07:12):
Against Drake May?
Speaker 8 (07:13):
You think he is really that? You think that that
puts a debt in his legacy? Haiti, You think him
leaving saying I don't want no one to come close
to what I did.
Speaker 5 (07:24):
I think he's looking at it like Drake May. If
he gets one to my six and he's on this
kind of pace, Drake May might get a bigger statue.
Speaker 8 (07:33):
You think you think Tom Brady is You think he's
dead petty, You think he's he think he's stooped down
to that level.
Speaker 4 (07:38):
I wouldn't put it past I think he's that level
of competitor.
Speaker 9 (07:42):
Listen.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
I think that.
Speaker 7 (07:46):
There may be some truth to that, because I think,
as any great player, not that you root against anybody,
but you want to preserve your legacy. You want to
preserve how important you were to that franchise, and you
don't want anybody to come close to duplicating what you've done,
not right away. So if he gets one, all the
(08:06):
self is Drake May is the new right, you know,
Savior Taylor.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
Congratulations you pulled to real Davis when you asked that question.
Speaker 4 (08:14):
He thought you were insane.
Speaker 11 (08:15):
And now, I mean, he's got seven of them, man,
like he got six with the Patriots. Like he's probably
like he ain't worried about Drake May. Tell us what
and I hope I'm pronouncing this correctly. Is it Tiva
or Teva? Yes, Teva Teva.
Speaker 8 (08:30):
Yeah, I'm here with Teva Pharmaceuticals, and I'm here to
raise awareness of tard of discnesia.
Speaker 4 (08:36):
We call it the other TD.
Speaker 8 (08:37):
I mean what it is is, uh, it's a chronic
movement disorder and it's cause by taking certain you know,
prescription mental health medications and you know, such as anti
sup president, anti psychotic and uh, these these medications could
cause a little bit of repetitive and uncontrollable, well controllable
(08:59):
movement your face, your hands, your feeding, your tor so
and so if you're if you're experiencing that, please go
to the other TV dot Com. I'm super big into
health man, and I try to be an advocate for that.
So that's why I wanted to use this platform to
let people know. If you are experiencing that and you
are taking some of these medications, please visit the other
(09:19):
TV dot com or go see your health professional.
Speaker 6 (09:22):
If I get health advice from somebody that looks as
fit as you, I'm like, I'm in Yeah, it's.
Speaker 4 (09:28):
An excellent job by you. Does that what ever?
Speaker 3 (09:30):
Thank you for the two Super Bowl rings? Does he
ever just say, Hey, John, thank you man? You listen,
didn't win any without you.
Speaker 8 (09:36):
But I also say the same thing, Man, I wouldn't
have wont anything, or we wouldn't have want anything without
number seven. Yes, Like the bottom line is, man, I
just try to do my do my part, play my role,
be the piece that you know can could be part
of why we win and not part of why we lose.
Speaker 4 (09:51):
And you know, we had fun.
Speaker 8 (09:53):
We had a we had a great coaching staff, we
had everything like we had if you talk about a team,
great teams great, I mean we went on a three
year span and we won forty six games, and I
think the Patriots beat our our three year records, you know,
two super Bowls, and we've had every position we had,
you know, stars, and they weren't they weren't originally stars.
(10:13):
Shannon was a seventh round pick ed McCaffrey, rod Smith
late round picks or undrafted free agents. I was a
sixth round pick time Dayalen our center the sixth. So
we had a bunch of guys we would call each
other the misfits, right, such of misfits just out there
playing the game we loved together. Were great.
Speaker 4 (10:29):
Yeah, yeah, you were so like so much fun.
Speaker 6 (10:31):
It was so good, clippery, Like, what would you say
your best skill was as a running back?
Speaker 8 (10:36):
I would say my spatial awareness and just just understanding
and having a feel for you know, bodies. Sure, uh,
I think that's why I'm a good driver right now.
I'm a really good driver because I'm my spatial awareness.
I can get inside out of traffic, you know, and
out to fill people over even if I don't see them.
Speaker 4 (10:54):
I got yeah, I feel it as a car something
I don't.
Speaker 8 (10:58):
I don't even see the car, but I know it's
behind me, right, And that's why I can get in
and out of it.
Speaker 4 (11:02):
That's why I'm good. That's a good instinct. That's what
it is. I can't teach that. So being a great
running back made you a great drive driver, great craft
and you know I have wrecked some cars.
Speaker 8 (11:11):
Uh you know, backed into a fence one time, but
that was because I was I was fussing at my kid.
Speaker 9 (11:17):
Man, it was back there.
Speaker 4 (11:21):
It's not like you can play football. You're killed on
the field. I'm distracted and he distracted me. So that's funny.
Speaker 5 (11:27):
Hit the poll to bro, you're a Georgia legend. How
do you feel about grown men barking at other people?
Speaker 4 (11:36):
Well, it was for the game. I'm down with it,
You're right, yeah, right, yeah, just walking down the street.
Speaker 5 (11:43):
It always surprises me every time I go to a
Georgia game, Like I went to Florida Georgia in Jacksonville
and it was just strange to see grown men walk out.
Speaker 4 (11:54):
Where did you go to school? Carolina?
Speaker 9 (11:56):
Carolina?
Speaker 4 (11:57):
Okay, walk on wide receiver right here? Yeah, listen, I
love it man, especially we kick off man go go
dog sick you know gator, So it kind of hurts. Yeah.
Speaker 9 (12:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (12:09):
We could not beat guys when I was there. You know,
all you do is beat them the Spurrier days and
that was that was a rough one. Do you like
college football today's college I love college football. I'm always
gonna love it. And I love the fact that we
have this free agency type feel. I don't like the
frequency of it, but I do like the fact that
the kids can move around. I'd like to learn a
(12:33):
roster and know a team other than everything having this turnover.
Speaker 4 (12:37):
It's weird.
Speaker 6 (12:38):
Yeah, it's it's more difficult to follow, right, to be
like a dield your turnover roster, like half the roster
every year.
Speaker 12 (12:44):
It is.
Speaker 8 (12:45):
It's just I mean a lot of times, that's why
you watched the team you watched for not only the
logo but some of the players on the team. So
to see the turnover as much as it is now,
it's it's it's hard. But I would say, if you
know just if his the solution, make him sign two
to three year deals. I like that, and then have
(13:06):
buyouts if you want to go to another school, that
school wants to whoever picks you up off that if
you enter the portal, they got to they have to pay.
Speaker 4 (13:13):
That that tag.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
But you like the idea of kids at least having
the option playing here. I was promised I was going
to play here. I'm not playing here. I can go elsewhere,
now I do. I remember going to Georgia and they
didn't promise me anything. But when I got there, man,
the amount of competition they kept bringing in. I was like,
wait a minute, so I can't leave. You're bringing in
competition seems like every week.
Speaker 7 (13:37):
Yes, and the coach bringing that competition he wants, Yes,
But I can't go and find another slot stuck there
is that fair to the to the player.
Speaker 4 (13:46):
You only have four to five years, maybe six, whatever
it is. You only have that time.
Speaker 8 (13:52):
So I like the fact that if my kid is
somewhere and he's stuck and he's not getting any planning time,
I like the fact that I can move him, take
him somewhere else without using a uh, you know, losing
that year of eligibility allowing him to play. And it
had been this great college football experience, like wherever he
wants to go. But I do think they need to
tighten it up just a little bit and have limitations
(14:13):
on how many times you can bounce around.
Speaker 4 (14:14):
I like to buy out options.
Speaker 9 (14:15):
Yeah, yeah, I.
Speaker 8 (14:17):
Would be and it because of it compensates the team
that that invested money into that kid and developed him,
and then he got you got it good, and now
he's he's in the portal, and the teams and the
universities don't get anything for it.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
So I've always wondered you were such a great player,
and I'm wondering if like the all time greats, because
you were so great, did you did you watch another
running back and kind of marvel at that running back's talents?
Speaker 4 (14:40):
I did, but it's great. I knew I couldn't do it.
Speaker 8 (14:42):
Really, I couldn't do Barry, Like like watching Barry and
you think you're gonna do Barrios.
Speaker 4 (14:46):
He's probably a great driver, Like you were fooling yourself. Man,
I knew, I knew where my what my limitations were.
Speaker 8 (14:55):
I knew I was I wasn't going to be Marshall
fall I knew I wasn't gonna be you know, a
Therma Thomas. I knew what my limitations were, and so
I just try to try to be the best version
of me. And then you can take things like mentality.
You can take that sort of what their what was
their mentality? And you know that you can take but
(15:15):
as far as skills, I don't think so.
Speaker 4 (15:19):
Question, who's your favorite running back right now in the game.
Speaker 8 (15:22):
Uh, it's it's, it's it's, it's it's the King until
the King retires, right. Derek Henry is my favorite running back.
Man and he's not flashy, but I've never seen a
big man run as fast as he can run next
to him.
Speaker 4 (15:37):
I just walked to the bathroom a well, not the bathroom.
Speaker 8 (15:39):
I was walking in that going to the bathroom with Derek,
and I'm like, it amazes me how big that dude is. Man,
he just you don't think of a running back that size.
I mean he's more like a tight end. Like are
you a tighty end? If I had to guess, I
would be like, all right, you're.
Speaker 9 (15:53):
A tight end.
Speaker 4 (15:54):
When the Ravens took off the season to realize to
give him the fall, I mean he.
Speaker 8 (15:57):
Did not use them right, Well, you got him on
your team, but yet you want to preserve him for
the postseason.
Speaker 7 (16:04):
Weird that you never make No, yeah you didn't make it. Yeah,
I mean you get there first. We don't want to
be saved. He wants to be used one more time
on the way up. And we appreciate the time. Tell
us what you're doing this week.
Speaker 8 (16:14):
I'm here to raise awareness for the other TV and
that's tart of dyskenesia.
Speaker 9 (16:18):
Again.
Speaker 8 (16:18):
It's a chronic movement disorder cause by a certain prescription
mental health medications such as antidepressants or anti psychotics that
can cause repetitive and uncontrollable movements in your face, hands, feet,
or Torso I'm here talking about this. I'm very passionate
about it because I believe you know that people out there,
if you're experiencing this and you know you're not alone,
(16:39):
number one and number two, you can go to the
other TV.
Speaker 3 (16:41):
Dot com for help. You're great, man. We appreciate the time.

are you realize we listen, we love you when we've
been doing this for years, but it is stressful because
the expectation of funny is hard, not for you, for us, right.
We don't want to get in your way, and it
makes it difficul all coming up with your ideas.
Speaker 10 (20:01):
I don't think, but here as long as you have
ideas from time to time.
Speaker 4 (20:05):

Speaker 13 (21:04):
Right, He's like these like in Ghostbusters, don't cross the
streams and streams we're getting bron.
Speaker 10 (21:09):
That's the only thing you do that you get the
state marshmallow man in front of it. We didn't have

Well gone, well done.
Speaker 10 (21:23):
You know, we're live, live radio.
Speaker 4 (21:25):
Job almost said it.
Speaker 7 (21:26):
And what's bad is I'm allowed to swear on my show,
So I forgot to turn it off. But he used
to in like the meeting room right as a rookie,
he'd be like he'd make me get up and say
the snapcount in front of everybody.
Speaker 4 (21:38):
Like go ahead, to Sims, let me see it.
Speaker 7 (21:39):
And I'd be like looking around, like really like right now,
and there's there's forty guys and they're just in the
middle of the meeting room, and I do it, and
I started to embrace it finally to where he would
love it, like.
Speaker 4 (21:50):
Oh, he's a psycho. I love it.
Speaker 10 (21:52):
I love that you're doing with that right now, threshing
that up a little bit. If you can't do it
in front of thirty five of your front.
Speaker 13 (22:01):
Amigos in Spanish teammates, if you can't do that here,
how are you gonna do.
Speaker 10 (22:06):
That in front of twenty five thousand fans.
Speaker 4 (22:09):
You're no joke. That's exactly like what he would say.
Speaker 10 (22:11):
You gotta do it. You're here the acting process.
Speaker 5 (22:13):
Man.
Speaker 10 (22:14):
It's like, look, there's nobody else in the room with you.
Got to focus.
Speaker 4 (22:17):
You got to.
Speaker 10 (22:17):
Understand that you're the only thing in this world right now,
and if other things.
Speaker 16 (22:21):
Are getting inside your head, you're not gonna be able
to win the Super Bowl. Man.
Speaker 4 (22:27):
I'm gonna talk to football with Chris here.
Speaker 3 (22:29):
Please do and you just follow up with any question
from any other Oh yeah, yes, we're all better for it.
Speaker 10 (22:37):
Ask me the questions and I'll judge the answer.
Speaker 4 (22:40):
I don't know the man like.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
I have a Drago PFD with Mike Florio every day
on Peacock The Unbuttoned Podcast as well in Football Night
in America. Since it's different for you this year, because
you guys, you know, you're the station that.
Speaker 7 (22:55):
We got to carry the super Bowl right, It's made
it a little crazier. It definitely does. You know you're
being pull than a million different directs a few other
events you gotta go to do stuff like that.
Speaker 4 (23:03):
The biggest thing is just that.
Speaker 7 (23:05):
I mean, as you guys know, first off, I love
the Super Bowl in San Francisco. I love being downtown
and be able to walk to restaurants and do that.
Speaker 4 (23:11):
So I'm all for that.
Speaker 7 (23:12):
But like tomorrow night, we got to switch to another
hotel that's closer to the stadium because yeah, Friday will
start some pregame rehearsal stuff. Saturday will do that too.
It's awesome, it really is. But yeah, it's a long
leek Wait.
Speaker 10 (23:26):
You guys rehearse and I don't see anything it man.
Speaker 4 (23:30):
No, no, this is NBC. I on NBC. I go
like NBC.
Speaker 7 (23:34):
I'm literally like, are we going to rehearse the rehearsal?
Because I'm like, I think that's what we're doing right now.
We're actually rehearsing the rehearsal, like and that's it kills
me sometimes, I know, and I've learned to deal with rehearsals.
Speaker 4 (23:46):
And not give my best stuff and mess myself up
when it's time to go.
Speaker 9 (23:50):
You are.
Speaker 3 (23:50):
Last week we were trying to get ahold of you.
You were in Seattle, I'm assuming doing features for the
Super Bowl. So who'd you sit down with?
Speaker 7 (23:56):
I saw Jackson Smith and Jigba and Leonard Williams, which
was a lot of fun, and then I got to
talk to a bunch of other guys. They hung around
the facility really the whole day. But yeah, sorry about
that last week. And really what happens too, just I
was just trying to promote what you were doing for
the It just happens that it like you don't understand
the way it is now you win the championship games. Yeah, right,
the next day, the TV companies are calling because they're like,
(24:19):
we got to get the Super Bowl pregame. When can
we come there to start doing interviews? Right, And you're
kind of just waiting to hear from them, and then
all of a sudden, it's like Tuesday evening and they're like, hey,
Wednesday night, you're going there. You're going tomorrow to Seattle,
and then you're coming back on the Red eye after that.
So it was really cool. Uh, you know, they got
they got juice in that building, that's for sure. Kendrick
(24:39):
Bourne said to us earlier.
Speaker 3 (24:40):
He said he's jealous of JSM because he played it
seems like he's playing the game at half speed.
Speaker 7 (24:45):
He's like, it's ridiculous, He's playing a life at half speed.
He's so calm and cool, and I just I even
asked him in the interview. You'll see it on the
pregame show. I'm like, when's the last time you yelled?
Speaker 9 (24:55):
There?
Speaker 7 (24:55):
Got like became a diva receiver. I was like, I've
never seen you yell at a receiver. I was like,
how dare Why couldn't you play with me? Every receiver
is always like I'm open, I'm open, Hey call this play.
Speaker 9 (25:04):
I'm open. You know.
Speaker 7 (25:05):
And then you go back and watch the film the
next day and you go there was freaking guys around
it like he's coming to the sideline, Like I can't
trust him anymore. But he's totally cool and yeah, he
makes it look easy.
Speaker 4 (25:15):
I'll tell you what.
Speaker 10 (25:16):
That's the end of the end. I tell you what, man,
I got the anger, the fire, and.
Speaker 4 (25:21):
He's got the calm.
Speaker 9 (25:22):
Man.
Speaker 4 (25:22):
I'll tell you what. We're gonna go.
Speaker 10 (25:24):
Tornado hunting calm before the storm man.
Speaker 4 (25:26):
I thought for sure al Pacino was gonna yell right there.
Speaker 9 (25:29):
Oh I'm ready. I'm just getting warmed up. We're getting
ready for the super Bowl.
Speaker 10 (25:35):
I can't wait to see the features.
Speaker 9 (25:36):
Yea.
Speaker 4 (25:37):
Chris Sims sits down talk ask questions.
Speaker 10 (25:42):
He's curious.
Speaker 4 (25:43):
He gets answered, that's good, you're good. Did John madd
have a question here?
Speaker 14 (25:50):
I don't really happen you're write down questions. I didn't
even know we're doing this.
Speaker 4 (25:55):
But why don't you ask him about Darnold or Drake
Bay in which quarter?
Speaker 10 (25:59):
Look?
Speaker 14 (26:00):
I mean, if you look, if you had to pick
one of those two quarterbacks, which quarter, that's that's a
bad I don't want to ask. It's a terrible question.
Ques any question I would ask, I mean, what's yeah, yeah,
that's Stegatsi in question. Gats in question is a question
that puts the interviewee in the bad position, right and
the worst the position is the worst that the feedback is.
(26:22):
So say, give me something that you like the most
about Drake May and something you like the most about
Sam Darnold, and then give me something will like the
least about Drake May, and then something the least about Sam.
Speaker 7 (26:36):
All right, John, I got you. John let me out
his bus a few times when I was a young kid.
Actually it was very cool.
Speaker 14 (26:42):
Yeah, I mean yeah, but sometimes you know, he would
he would get the crans out and start drawing on
the bus. And I said he wasn't drawing plays. I said,
if you're gonna draw the bus, you gotta draw a play.
Phil was out angry, wanted to punch me. Do you
want to answer his question?
Speaker 4 (27:01):
So here's the answers.
Speaker 14 (27:02):
Yeah, yeah, I know you're such a positive guy, crush
and you would never want to say negative about anybody.
Speaker 4 (27:09):
Yeah, yeah, that's that's not true.
Speaker 7 (27:10):
No, that's the honest the I think it's weird, right,
just with the Drake May Sam Donald thing.
Speaker 4 (27:16):
We're talking about Drake May.
Speaker 7 (27:17):
Of course, the thing I love about the Super Bowl
is it's kind of crapping all over narratives. Right, don't
you gotta have an offensive genius to go to the
Super Bowl and be a good team. And we got
two defensive coaches, right who just replaced legends, and two
years later here they are in the Super Bowl. But
like Drake May won in the MVP conversation, I don't
think he's gonna win it. But he's gonna be top two.
(27:38):
We know that, right, Yes, it's odd for that guy
and that kind of whatever category you want to put
and go. I think he's coming into the game more
shaky and less common than the other guy, right right,
the other guy who we've questioned and I've seen ghosts
and done everything this whole life, Sam Donald.
Speaker 4 (27:53):
I mean, you look at it.
Speaker 7 (27:54):
Ever since the Rams game, the first time around where
he threw the four interceptions, he has been a different guy.
Speaker 4 (27:59):
He has not been turning the ball over. He showed
up in.
Speaker 7 (28:02):
Big moments, and he's played well in the playoffs to
where I feel like he's going in the game with
the hot hand and Drake May and the new England offense.
You go, man, it's been five or six weeks since
they really like executed at a high level on the
offensive side of the ball.
Speaker 4 (28:16):
Now.
Speaker 7 (28:16):
I know they played some awesome defenses in the playoffs,
so that was a big part of it. But just
as far as the psyche of the quarterback going into
the game, yeah, I think it's interesting and I think
you saw a little of the psyche in the AFC
Championship game. I mean, one of the things I wrote
early on in the game, I went, Damn, who's the
backup quarterback in the game?
Speaker 9 (28:33):
Right?
Speaker 4 (28:33):
I mean, damn, they don't trust Drake May to do
much either either. In the game. They weren't gonna throw it.
They were gonna be like, no, we're just gonna run
it and do that.
Speaker 7 (28:39):
And I thought that spoke a little bit to where
they might even be a hair uneasy with the way
he's played through the playoffs. Six fumbles, two interceptions, all
that stuff there, So that's gonna be interesting. I think
they got to make a concerted effort to get him
going early in the game.
Speaker 4 (28:54):
I think the big difference where you give it that answer,
by the way, John.
Speaker 14 (28:57):
Or there's men John thought, I think that's just Christims
being Christims right, exactly right, bringing it down. Yeah, yeah,
I I tuned out and was eating a turkey.
Speaker 4 (29:08):
Way sure it wasn't, John c Riley.
Speaker 15 (29:11):
Yeah, I trusted him A good danswer, right, you know.
Speaker 14 (29:16):
Wow, truth of the matter is going through voice and reason.
Speaker 4 (29:20):
What's the weapon?
Speaker 10 (29:22):
Just to make sure that you you.
Speaker 4 (29:26):
It's amazing you click in your brain.
Speaker 10 (29:29):
It's repetition.
Speaker 4 (29:30):
It's just repetent.
Speaker 13 (29:30):
It's repetition, just like think about anything you've done in sports.
When you're gonna throw you got a spider two?
Speaker 4 (29:36):
Why banana? Yeah?
Speaker 13 (29:38):
Primary primary, man's fullback. Man primary is a full back.
Get it through your skull, but you gotta drop. You
got your footwork. Your footwork is automatic. You don't even
to think about.
Speaker 10 (29:48):
That's what it is. What it's it's a it's an
on scheduled play, that's what that is.
Speaker 13 (29:52):
When it's something new, it's you know, going to the
outside trying to break contein right, But it's really script.
It's off script. I was looking so uh for me,
I see the person in front of me. If I
actually talk about Morgan Freeman, I see him in front
of me. I'm going there it is you know, yes
dog like that or Robert Danny Junior once again just
(30:13):
belching out the punch lines. So that's the deal. Have
a cheven up not just for shick kids. It's uh
and ch all show to get comedy timing.
Speaker 4 (30:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (30:23):
Uh So it's like, how do those those are all
just right there?
Speaker 12 (30:27):
Uh?
Speaker 13 (30:27):
If they're new, they're tougher. So it's like it's like
a new play. Is everybody going to be in the
right position? That's the muscles and stuff in the throat
and stuff. It's I grew up playing sports, so baseball
that was my sport.
Speaker 15 (30:40):
Uh.
Speaker 13 (30:40):
My dad was my league baseball player, the White Sox organization.
We grew up playing bas We tried playing everything out
but baseball. You always said, what you're five six, you
got a chance, right we do?
Speaker 4 (30:50):
Yeah?
Speaker 10 (30:50):
Well I was a zero tool player.
Speaker 4 (30:54):
So but that's there.
Speaker 13 (30:54):
That's the tie in there is There is a lot
of sports that I've put in. It's almost a little
bit of science. I talk about the twenty Tony Gwinn
was the only person watching videotape twenty twenty five years.
Right now, everybody watches video on everything. You can't even imagine, yes,
not having video in all of some.
Speaker 3 (31:09):
No doubt, right, no doubt, Sims. I feel like the
biggest difference between these two two I'm not saying the
Patriots defense is bad. I'm just saying the Seahawks defense
is overwhelming. Yeah, and I think that's gonna be the
difference and why I think Seattle could win the game.
Speaker 7 (31:21):
Well, I'm leaning Seattle too, I mean I did. Yeah,
it's gonna be a close game, though, I would be
shocked if it's not that right, and it's two defensive
teams that again, they're not gonna make it about the
quarterback and you got to throw for three hundred and
fifty yards and win the game. They're gonna play defense,
they're gonna run the ball, they're gonna do all that.
But within all that, yes, Seattle's the more talented team.
Seattle's more talented, but as we've seen, like Mike Vrabel's
(31:43):
worth a few points in a close game. I know
we didn't get to talk about after the AFC Championship game.
All right, First off, you know Sean Payton the stupid
fourth and one, just go up ten to nothing. But
still the defense called in that big play situational football
we talk about was rare goal line defense. They played
Tampa two so caught Denver up. They were like, what,
we can't run up the middle, but yet they're playing
(32:03):
this coverage over here. So that was that the Drake
May keeper at the end of the game, to end it, right,
they got in his ear and said, call this play,
but keep it.
Speaker 4 (32:12):
Don't tell anybody right then.
Speaker 3 (32:14):
So that wasn't Drake May going off script there like
people thought.
Speaker 7 (32:16):
No, no, it's it's Josh McDaniel in his ear going
called this play and if they line up like we've
talked about, keep it around the edge, right, Because you
say that because now everybody blocks the play aggressively. Sometimes
if you tell the old line where I'm going to
keep it around the edge, they they're old linemen, they're
grazers in the pasture, they're cows, and they just.
Speaker 4 (32:36):
Go, well, I'll just go over because I don't really
have to block anybody.
Speaker 13 (32:42):
Last morning, the league man cows bulls off a lineman, Doug,
Buddy Joe. That way you're behind them. Man, I'm not
so sure you're gonna be buying a much longer.
Speaker 4 (32:55):
Probably why I lost myleen.
Speaker 13 (32:59):
This lot easier to say that when you're an analyst.
You said something that was very interesting to be as
a human being person. An impression you said, these guys,
neither of these guys are gonna make it about the
quarterback is that most of the Super Bowls I can
remember right now are all about ball control and defense, right,
So who is somebody that has made about was whether
(33:22):
the last time be mahomes and not even the last
couple of times.
Speaker 4 (33:25):
Well that's what I've said.
Speaker 7 (33:25):
People still made it about Mahomes, and I'd go, Kansas
City's a defensive team. Right, we're going to just talk
about Mahomes all the time, right, said that drives me
crazy a little bit.
Speaker 4 (33:33):
So, but is there a team?
Speaker 13 (33:35):
Is there somebody you can go back and go, well,
that was a team that was all about the quarterback
because I feel like when you get to the Super Bowl.
Speaker 7 (33:40):
Yeah, usually those teams lose. Yeah, like Manning in twenty thirteen,
the Seahawks. Right, it's the greatest offensive for the Toreno. Right,
some of those teams, you're you're right about it. You've
got to be again, when you play just one style
and it's like, oh, we just got to outscore you
and throw you, that's the only way you can win
a game. Where these teams can go, we can play
a variety of different styles. Right, We're not just going
to go, Oh, our quarterback's gotta play awesome, and if
(34:01):
he doesn't do that, then damn we're in trouble. Right,
So they're able to go, no, we're just gonna win.
If we gotta win thirteen to ten, that's fine. If
we gotta play ball control and defense, that's fine. So
they're willing to do that. And that's where I get worried,
where even though I pick Seattle, Vrabel is the best
situational coach in football. So the interception, right, Yeah, the
(34:22):
interception at the end of the game. I broke this
down on my podcast. Denver substituted. Brabel took advantage of
the rules. He took him to the up. He slow
substituted on the defensive side of the ball, right, So
he had guys one guy go in. And there's kind
of a gray area right now in the NFL when
the offense substitutes, there's no exact time to how long
the defense can substitute, so the ref stands over the ball.
(34:45):
He then so one guy went in. He tapped the
two guys to come out. Then the other guy kind
of slowly walked in. And as this is going, the
play clock's going ten nine and Jared Stidham's going, wait,
I want to check the protection, and I don't know
defense they're in because they're still lining up.
Speaker 4 (35:02):
And then it's three to two.
Speaker 7 (35:03):
Once a hot and the guy comes, he can't check
the protection, he can't get check the coverage, throws the
ball up. He's flustered, and that's where I can see
New England upsetting or winning.
Speaker 4 (35:11):
The game is a close football game.
Speaker 7 (35:14):
Rabel is worth a few points in every one of
those games, right, And that's what's.
Speaker 10 (35:19):
Scary because I would that is stuff I would never realize.
Speaker 3 (35:23):
No, I always say that we have no idea what
we're watching every Sunday. We're just paying attention to the quarterback.
So I trust Chris Sims what he tells me. That
kind of stuff is happening. But that's the kind of
stuff when Rabel pays so much attention to the smallest
of details, and that's what gets his team. I'm assuming
I'll ask Chris that's what gets his team to play
so hard for the small details are getting lost in
the current NFL world.
Speaker 7 (35:44):
Right, let's check to this play, Let's be Spider two,
why banana check fifty eight? And it's like, but we
we haven't talked about like mechanics or how many feet
that many steps we're gonna take.
Speaker 4 (35:55):
On the drop.
Speaker 7 (35:56):
Right, So these two teams, this is where it's great
is I do believe both coaches are a little bit
into just the basics of football again, like a Bill
Belichick was or a Bill Parcells was where it's like,
we're gonna do all the little things that are like,
we're gonna have the the defense end is going to
play the proper technique and have his hand right in
the perfect spot right and and and and we're gonna
(36:17):
tackle and practice that. And Rabel's a hands on guy
that's gonna teach his guys to correct hand to hand
combat so they don't do those little things.
Speaker 4 (36:25):
And hey, look at this, you see.
Speaker 10 (36:26):
It's getting back to the fundamental.
Speaker 4 (36:28):
Wanted to I'm looking at this idiot over here. Billy
Billy used to work for them, He used to love
us what he used to do. But screw you is
what I said. This is real or not, it's real,
very real. Billion Chris have an odd relationship. Relationships more
(36:48):
like hate. Yes, yeah, there's a lot of that. Well
I'm from Jersey. That's like I love. That is the
same thing. It's the same thing. How'd you feel about
the analysis right there?
Speaker 13 (36:57):
I was overly impressed, I mean honest that the angry
or the actual football football. Now I learned something I
never thought i'd Sanna Stu Gott show, that's that that
that stuff that that's the stuff that I like and
hearing from.
Speaker 10 (37:13):
An analyst is something that I go. I didn't see
that happen.
Speaker 7 (37:16):
Right, Well, if you come and check my podcast, Christians
un button that's the kind of crap I do.
Speaker 10 (37:23):
I've seen so many and heart so many podcasts. Chris Sims,
he's completely unbuttoned.
Speaker 4 (37:29):
Jim, I haven't heard this one. You haven't heard that?
That's I wrap up the Tony Romobile perfect for f one.
Speaker 9 (37:44):
That is so good.
Speaker 4 (37:46):
It's so good, right, how about Jim Rome? Can Jim
Rome promote Chris.
Speaker 17 (37:50):
Simps podcast as great as this? The greatest podcast as
far as learning about football? There are a lot of
people out there who think they know football. But Chris
Sims is completely unbuttoned.
Speaker 4 (38:02):
Is that the right?
Speaker 12 (38:03):
Right?
Speaker 4 (38:03):
You're at dude?
Speaker 17 (38:04):
You're incredible, phenomenal Ah Rugela, great Lettuce, even better podcast.
Speaker 10 (38:11):
Great job by Chris, better job by me.
Speaker 17 (38:14):
A great promotion Caliendo actually promoting Chris Sim's better than himselfing,
which is rare.
Speaker 4 (38:22):
We'll take it. That's a win win.
Speaker 17 (38:24):

We were talking to music right before the MIC's came

music for Garrett Bulls before he plays in an NFL game?
Speaker 12 (41:37):
So I collapsed by Eminem has to be to be
in eminem and I'm not afraid you know that song too.
Those two songs get me going, gets my blood going,
and I'm ready to rock the rocket.
Speaker 9 (41:48):
Yep.
Speaker 4 (41:49):
You having fun this week?
Speaker 12 (41:50):
Yeah, it's been fun. It's been fun to be out
here with my family, my kids, my wife and let
them enjoy it. My son's digging it.
Speaker 9 (41:57):
The most. He's the greatest ever.
Speaker 12 (41:59):
So he's at that age nine years old where he
understands get to see all his athletes, his great athletes
like that. That's you know, that's that's seventeen, that's twelve,
that's ten.
Speaker 9 (42:08):
So it was fun. That's number one for the Bengals.
Speaker 4 (42:11):
So it's been fun to watch them get autographs and stuff.
Speaker 9 (42:14):
Yeah, it's been cool.
Speaker 4 (42:15):
That's so cool. What's the feeling being here knowing that
you were a game away?
Speaker 9 (42:21):
I knew that question coming. No, it's good, it's good.
One on one.
Speaker 12 (42:26):
It's been cool to just experience the Pro Bowl experience,
you know, obviously Walter Payton, and to be here with
all my peers and let my family enjoy. You know,
this was our first one, so being here with my
son and let them understand and let them be with me,
being in the locker room, being on the field with
all the guys. It's been amazing. But it's it's a
bittersweet for me too, because I wish I was playing
in the Big Dance. You know, being three points away
(42:48):
is it's a terrible feeling. It's it's not the greatest feeling.
It's took me probably up to this point to let
it go away.
Speaker 4 (42:55):
But I get it.
Speaker 9 (42:57):
No, No, you're good, You're good. I'm not. I'm gonna
remember that, you know.
Speaker 12 (43:00):
Obviously, It's just gonna give me motivation to go out
there and uh, you know, train hard this offseason to
get back to where we've blown.
Speaker 5 (43:07):
Garrett all to talk this week is about the Seahawks defense,
but it feels like the Patriots defense is underrated. Having
gone up against them. What can you kind of tell
us about that Patriot.
Speaker 12 (43:15):
Yeah, I mean their defense is good. They definitely have
some two big hogs in the middle that that can
stuff the run and and do that, and then their linebackers.
You know, Ellis is a freaking nature. Obviously, I know
his brothers, so I know what the Ellis brothers can do.
They can they can bring it, high motor, high functioning.
And then obviously you know you got the star on
the outside that can that can track the ball and
(43:37):
do the things. So they're they're a good defense and
I'm looking I'm looking forward to watching this matchup.
Speaker 3 (43:42):
Tony Biselli used to tell me that when he had
to face Jason Taylor, it would keep him up the
entire evening. Is there a guy when you have to
face him the next day, you're up all night thinking
about it.
Speaker 9 (43:51):
You know, that's that's a good one. You know.
Speaker 12 (43:53):
I love going against the best of the best, I
truly do. I think it brings the best competitive nature
out of me. I I love the you know, the
butterflies and the moments and you know, the tingling feeling
in my toes and my hands as I wake up
in the morning going. But you know, I have to
give my hat off to Myles Garrett. I respect the
hell out of him. I think he's a phenomenal player
and definitely one of those dns that can change the
(44:15):
game forever. Max Crosby is another one. So but I
like playing those guys because it brings the bets out
of me and makes me study the best. And I
love those moments. You know, sometimes they win, sometimes I win,
and you know, it's just a great competitive nature for
all of us.
Speaker 6 (44:29):
I'm so glad you said that, because I play a
lot of flag football at the local league. Sometimes I
travel for tournaments and stuff, and I still get those
butterflies before games, and I'm just like, I've been doing
this for like fifteen years, Why is that still happening.
Speaker 4 (44:41):
I'm glad to see you still get.
Speaker 6 (44:43):
Do you feel like that's just reminds you that, hey,
I like this or it's just a competition, like still
a lot.
Speaker 4 (44:48):
Man, right?
Speaker 9 (44:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 12 (44:49):
I think it just makes you feel, you know, like
you're you're young again and you're playing a game that
you love, and I feel like, you know, when it's
the biggest games on the brightest stage. I definitely get
those goops bunps more than others, but I'm ready to
play every single time.
Speaker 9 (45:04):
I love football.
Speaker 12 (45:05):
Football something where nothing like, you know, all my struggles,
all the things I struggle with off the field, I
can just go on the field and it all goes
away and I can just focus on what I love
in between those.
Speaker 9 (45:15):
White lines for four hours.
Speaker 12 (45:16):
Get I get that peace and quietness of don't have
to worry about anything else except just playing football, the
game that I grew up playing.
Speaker 3 (45:23):
Wait, so you're in the middle of all that chaos
and it's peace and quiet for you. Listen, that's where
you find your piece. I know it's it's crazy, but
playing football is something that I just I love. I
love being with my teammates, I love being with my coaches.
I love, you know, watching my son and my kids
grow up in this atmosphere and to be around me
and to see what dad does, you know, coming from
(45:43):
where I was to where I am now. I want
them to know that if they put their mind to something,
they can they can achieve anything. And I get to
go out there every single day and there's my boy,
von Miller Hill.
Speaker 12 (45:58):
That's my dude. That's my dude. Love that dude to death.
We go at it all the time. He's made me
the player I am today.
Speaker 3 (46:06):
So I am so happy. Mike Golick would be thrilled.
I'm not certain he's aware of this yet, but I
didn't realize this. You're a finalist and it's the first
time they're ever doing this NFL Protector of the Year award.
And the reason I say that is Golic is always
talking about line play and how important it is that
we don't know what we're watching every Sunday, which he's right.
Speaker 4 (46:23):
Because we're paying attention to the quarterbacks. I am so
happy we have an award from offensive lineman man.
Speaker 12 (46:29):
No, for sure, Yes, I think it's amazing. I think
it should have. You know, it's been in a long
time coming. I know a lot of people put a
lot of effort into it. It probably should have been
around a lot longer. Yes, just to prove to who's
the best. And you know, and being an offensive lineman.
You're so used to living in the shadows, you know,
and being unrecognized. But really we're the most recognized. That
people were the biggest, we're the strongest, we're the most
(46:50):
powerful est. Everyone watches us. Yes, bad play, good play.
When you play tackle, it doesn't matter if you make
a mistake. Everyone's booing you and yelling at you. Make
a big time block. Everyone loves you. So you just
live inside those trenches and you know, it's let the
big boys go to work. And finally we we got
a reward to appreciate it.
Speaker 6 (47:07):
Yeah, we only got about like ninety seconds left. But
I was just curious because the NFL, like has so
many different positions, and it's so you know, you have
to be as an offensive lineman a big athletic dude.
Speaker 4 (47:17):
When did you know that I am?
Speaker 6 (47:20):
That's for me, Like, this is my athleticism at my size,
That's what I'm gonna do.
Speaker 12 (47:24):
So I played tied end and defensive end in high
school and then when I went to junior college. It's
Snow College, which is about two and a half hours
south of Salt Lake City. I They're like, hey, you're
gonna play tackle, and I'm like tackle. They called me
the dancing bear because you know it's a defensive end.
You're you're leaning forward. You couldn't, you know, you know,
adjust it.
Speaker 9 (47:43):
I like it.
Speaker 12 (47:44):
Yeah, yeah, well I've dancing bears. That's exactly how it was.
And so then my coaches like, hey, listen, you want
to do this. I was like, let's do it. And
so I loved it. It was it's where I can
just focus, and I took pride in it because you know,
playing left tackle, you got to protect the quarterbacks blindside,
and you know it's like how I protect my wife.
Speaker 9 (48:01):
You touch my wife, I kick your ass.
Speaker 12 (48:04):
Yeah, sure that's how it is. Yes, Yes, don't touch
my quarterback. Yes, and let me you know, it's it's
time to fight if you do.
Speaker 9 (48:12):
So. I take pride in it.
Speaker 4 (48:14):
I love it.
Speaker 12 (48:15):
I think the world of it, and it's definitely something
that I appreciate every single day that I get to
do it.
Speaker 3 (48:20):
We have about a less than a minute here. Tailor
has a quick question for you got Taylor.
Speaker 4 (48:25):
The Holy War is on my college football bucket list,
of course.
Speaker 5 (48:27):
But I'm debating whether to go to the game at
Utah or at BYU. Which one would you say would
be a better?
Speaker 12 (48:33):
Oh boy, so Utah has more. I mean BYU has
more fans. Seat's about eighty thousand if I had to guess,
maybe a little less than that. But either one you
can't go wrong with. If you want craziness, you're going
to see craziness at both places. But I gotta say
Solid Cities is rocking when you have the third down jump,
for sure.
Speaker 5 (48:50):
And I should be on the youth side.
Speaker 9 (48:52):
Youth side for sure. No BYU whatsoever, No.
Speaker 3 (48:55):
No, no, all right, we have to get out of here. Garret,
thank you so much for the time. We appreciate it,
your great man man. Appreciate you, guys, enjoy the rest
of the time here This week the Great Garrett bowls
with us.
