Sway tire buying should be okay. The last time I
can remember something this awkward, it was Dana Altman. It

(00:49):
was it was Dana Altman. So, Dana Altman is the
head coach the University of Oregon. He was a longtime
head coach at Creighton and he left, and I don't
know if you guys remember this. He was actually the
head coach at Arkansas for like two weeks two weeks
and when he went there, they had him call the hogs. Sammy.

(01:13):
How familiar with calling the hogs?

Speaker 2 (01:16):
Does it involve a pig Suey.

Speaker 1 (01:18):
Yes, that's calling the hawks. There you go, so you
put your hands up in the air, right, and you
do a little little jazz hand finger things and you
say whoo pig siwey, pig siwey. And at the end
a third time you go, razorbacks right. And there's a
video somewhere if you guys Google search, and there's like

(01:43):
one hundred people in the room, or it looks like
a hundred people might have been twenty, you know, tight
camera angle whatever, and ninety nine of them are all
in on calling out the pit, calling the hogs woo pig.
And there's one that looks like, how quickly can I
get out of here because this is not my jam?

(02:05):
And that that one person was Dane Altman, and he
left his job, went back to Creighton, and then eventually
years later left went to Oregon and he's kind of
been a staple of success at Organ's, taking them to
the point of four. I bring that up because Liam Cones,
the new head coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars. Now, look,
I've had the introductory press conference. I'm sure it went

(02:25):
too long. I'm sure I talk too much, right, everybody
does they? I don't talk too much, and he ended
up talking too much. Don't say you know, it's like
the old uh Austin powers too. Don't say anything about
the mole, and you can't stop saying guage, mole, mole.
And there is a certain amount of local flavor you
have to have. So Jacksonville, the Jaguars are located in

(02:50):
Duval County. Duval County. I only know this because they've
had that Duval chant. And at some point I was like,
why do they chant fall? And I got to my
Twitter fingers or my Google fingers and I was like, oh,
Duval County. Guess it's a thing. Didn't know it's a thing.
So when he's at his introductory press conference, uh, well,

(03:17):
this is what his Duvall sounded like. Douval felt like
a question mark there. All right, it's first shot at it.
Here's Trevor Lawrence by the way, showing how it's done.

Speaker 3 (03:31):
Appreciate you guys can do without your.

Speaker 1 (03:38):
Here's some example from some fans saying Duvall. So I'm
sure he's always like, man, I can't wait to get there.
I'm a Duval chant. I'm an offer up two possibilities.

(04:01):
Either one he ran it by the wife and kids.
Don't know if he's married with wife, kids, whatever. Probably
should have researched that one anyway, and you know your
wife and kids. You could say whatever to them and
they're like, that's great, honey, go with it.

Speaker 4 (04:13):
Or maybe the wife was like, yeah, I don't know,
you're like, go, oh, this is what you gotta do
when you get the job. You gotta go do vall
or maybe he did in the shower, and in the
shower everything sounds really good.

Speaker 1 (04:26):
I'm not sure if you're aware, but I sound like
Riley Green in the shower. I do. I'm a big
Riley Green guy. I sing a little Riley Green when
he's playing. I got a speaker in my shower. It
sounds just like him. When I'm not in the shower,
I don't sound anything like I sound like Barry Green,
who's a rabbi of mine. Anyway. So I have a

(04:49):
lot of thoughts. First is, when you're going into a
new area, you do have to make sure like go
over like go over that little detailed time and again
before you actually break it up out is it duval
somebody who's like no, no, no, don't don't do that. No, no, no,

(05:09):
that's my question mark. At the end, you're putting the
wrong emphastest on the wrong syllable, So you really got
to know it if you're going to break it out.

Speaker 5 (05:23):
Now.

Speaker 1 (05:23):
The other thing to it, and this is a real thing,
is a lot like our friend who's the head coach
of u c l A Football. You guys remember this, right,
what happened with U c l A Football when they
had their introductory uh introductory press No, it was it
was media day, right, yeah, Big ten media day, and

(05:49):
Deshaun Foster was like where U c l A were
in LA. That's about it. But what hed do afterwards
was they print up T shirts and kind of leaned
into it. So now they can do the duval question
mark and they kind of make it a thing. Dou

(06:10):
all the other part to it, and this is really important,
is what I said to Jason. It's fun to make
fun of him, to tease him, and at the end
of the day, it so doesn't matter. Right. Nick Sirianni's
press conference could not have been more comically bad, and
yet here he is in his second Super Bowl. Dan
Campbell's press conference was widely panned, right with the We're

(06:32):
gonna bite off their kneecaps, and if you shoot us,
you're gonna have to shoot us a third time. I'm
gonna take out your other kneecap. Whatever he seems to
be doing okay. And press conferences maybe a little bit
in college in terms of generating interest and momentum. They
don't do a ton for you. They really don't, but
they kind of have to be done. First thing is

(06:54):
Jay stew You're big on this du Vall thing being
a disaster in terms of his emphasis on the salable.
Can you do a better do all?

Speaker 3 (07:05):
I don't need to do it. I could do it,
but I don't need to do it. I do know
that I'm the one who found the sound for that,
and it took me about three and a half minutes
to google Trevor Lawrence doing it, and then I got
some some sound from the fans three and a half minutes.
I'm gen x. He's millennial. He should have been more,
much more resourceful online than I am. The fact that

(07:27):
I put three and a half minutes into something that
he didn't put in that might speak to the level
of a preparedness that you're getting as a head coach.
Now trying to talk to your fan base.

Speaker 1 (07:37):
No, it doesn't matter. Your fan base doesn't matter. I
hate to break it to you. In professional sports, your
fan base doesn't matter.

Speaker 3 (07:42):
And by the way, I've never met a Jaguars fan.
I've been in the business since I think the first
year they opened, and I've never met a Jaguars fan.

Speaker 1 (07:51):
Yeah, it's kind of like people say they're lifetime Clipper fans.
You're like, that's not true. That doesn't No one has
ever been like like in the early years. Life may
be that change. Now we got people that are like
in their twenties because Lob City. But generally, anybody said
I was a lifelong Clipper fan, like, you're a liar.
It is not possible.

Speaker 6 (08:08):
I do know more Clipper fans, dug Way, more than
I don't even personally know any Jacksonville Jaguar fans.

Speaker 1 (08:14):
We also live in Los Angeles, of course.

Speaker 2 (08:16):
Yeah, yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 6 (08:17):
Like Jaguar, there are a lot of transplants out here
and does not come across one Jaguar fan.

Speaker 2 (08:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (08:22):
Also, hold on, let's be honest, there's not a lot
of transplants from Jacksonville or or Northeast Florida Fair. Okay,
that's not an area. That's an area that people transplant to,
not from.

Speaker 2 (08:35):
Right, that's true.

Speaker 1 (08:36):
So look as Charger fans, and Jase Do and I
were the only like Charger fans right for years when
they played in the soccer stadium, it was filled with
visiting fans. But that's because people from Pittsburgh move out
or Pittsburgh's But part of the whole fandom thing is
it's like, why are there's so many Steelers fans? Well,
the Steelers are good for like different parts of four

(08:57):
different decades. People. It's not just because people grew up
in western Pennsylvania. The Steelers have an image of Steelers are cool.
Jacksonville's been good twice. It's like their second year they
were really good, and then I don't know what was
it about ten years ago they were good, they went
to the AFC Championship Game.

Speaker 2 (09:13):
And they haven't existed very long either. Yes they did.

Speaker 7 (09:16):
They did lose to the Titans in the AFC Championship Game,
which is I think a holdover from what you're saying
was the second year when they ended up upsetting Denver
in the divisional playoffs and then going to the uh
going to the AFC Championship game. But and then the
Blake Bortles, Yeah, Jalen Ramsey AFC Championship game that you

(09:36):
had like eight years ago.

Speaker 1 (09:38):
Yeah, Blake Bortles. Who they they they had a they
have a sixteen point lead the half, and they didn't
let them throw the foot play sat on the football
at the end of the half.

Speaker 7 (09:45):
I will also say this, I think that they were
they were decent in the David Gerrard era, like they
remember they went to Pittsburgh, Like yeah, I mean it's
it's not like there have been tons of great, great
seasons for Jacksonville, but that was another, at least little
era where they had s access.

Speaker 1 (10:01):
The point is. The point is, Jason, I agree with
you that I've never met I never met Anybody's like,
who's your team like Jacksonville, like really, But part of
it is I don't travel to jack so much. It's
really more of a college area, right, Like there's more
Dog fans and Gator fans. They would all say I'm
a Dog fan, I'm a Gator fan, and then be like, well,
would you have an NFL team like Jaguars. I guess

(10:23):
you know, so, I don't and like, I'm sure he
wanted to do the duval chant, but he like, should
he have research ship with the three and a half
minutes on YouTube that you spent, Yes, but when you're
taking a job as a coach, and oh yeah, by
the way, if we're to believe his story, he has
a sick kid. He had to agree to one contract

(10:45):
and then walk away from that contract and sign a
different contract, and he's got to worry about his roster
of fifty three and what they want to do with
it and all this other stuff. I'm thinking he didn't
have the time to google. Maybe he should have in
the in the car ride over from the hotel.

Speaker 3 (11:00):
That was another one of my takeaways. I I don't
know if you guys felt this way, but as I watched,
you know, other than that Duvall thing that fell flat,
as you watch him talk with the media, he's kind
of a goober, Like I didn't know who the heck
this guy was literally until this year until you hear
about Brek. You know, Baker Mayfield having a good year
under this guy. And then he pulls this like mafiosa

(11:22):
like power move last week where he's getting a GM
fired he's leveraging his current team, he's ghosting them, and
he's taken. It was like I figured he would be
like this assassin and walk into this press conference, cool
with sunglasses and be short like Bill Belichick and just
and just own the room. And then he starts talking
and he's a humongous dork.

Speaker 5 (11:44):
Dube all.

Speaker 1 (11:48):
But again, like none of that.

Speaker 6 (11:50):
Matter if they win it, yeah they won't if they
if they win, it won't matter.

Speaker 1 (11:53):
It just doesn't matter. I mean, we saw everybody seeing
the Andy Reid video when he was a kid in
the punt passing kick.

Speaker 2 (12:02):
We've all seen that, correct, he stands out among children.

Speaker 1 (12:05):
Well, he's just this gigantic boy like manchild, right, he's
baby huey, I'm big from my age, correct, Like that's
and stands the reason that and you Reid not the
picture of fitness. And like now he's the lovable kind
of grandpa. You know it kind of looks like hey,
kool a, like it doesn't matter and reads a great coach.

(12:27):
Nobody cares Bill Belichick. Where's what he wants? Whatever doesn't matter,
no matter how he is the press conference. Can he
coach ball? Can you get those fifty three guys to
buy into what you're doing. That's what mattered. Pro football matters.
It's like we say it all the time. Nothing matters
to any of these people except for winning football games.
That's it. So I hear you, Jaycedu. It was super awkward,

(12:49):
and you're like, it's not that hard to do the
duval chant. But lots of these guys they're football dorks.
You know, we only make them cool because their job.
And then also once they get the job, then they
get cooler. You know, like look at those they've they've
shown how many of those pictures they've shown, those old
Washington Redskins, the coaching staff with Mike Shanahan as head coach,

(13:14):
Kyle Shanahan on staff, Matt Lafleur, all those guys.

Speaker 2 (13:17):
Go.

Speaker 1 (13:17):
Look at those guys then, right, they literally look like
frat boys, but not the cool frat Then they get
a head coaching job, they get the good barber. Right,
they mature a little bit, and we're going on their diet.
Get their teeth whitened, you know, maybe get some of
those one of those things called the fake teeth that
are all whitears. Veneers, some dudes get veneers, you know,

(13:39):
get a little great to their beard, got a little
like Mike McDaniel. Like Mike McDaniel wasn't cool, he was
a mud he was a he's a wide receiver at Yale, right,
like he was a super dork football guy. Then he
gets the head coaching job in Miami. Now he's got
some money, he's bucking and he's like, I got some
swag to me, rolls in a bed.

Speaker 2 (14:00):
He turned to scarface he did in the offseason last year.

Speaker 1 (14:05):
Right, and as cool as he is, his team was
a mess this year. I didn't win you football games.
So I hear you, Jay Stu, and this is classic
j Stu, Like, how can you not do this? Just
Google search it? But as we've seen from Nick Sirianni,
like go and google Nick Sirianni's press conference, like whoa,

(14:28):
I remember sitting in this very same chair. Nick Sirianni
is opening press conference like whoa, Philadelphia's gonna eat him alive.
And then all of a sudden, he wins some games
and he becomes like a WWE character, obnoxiously so. But again,
even as obnoxious as he is, it doesn't matter. Do
you know why they win football games? Win football games?

(14:52):
That's Doug Gottlieb show. You're on Fox Sports Radio. For
the record, Dan Byer point out that Jay Stu, as
much as he crushed Liam Cohen, he also wouldn't do
the duval chan just because he doesn't. He also doesn't
want to be made funny.

Speaker 2 (15:08):
I'm with you as well.

Speaker 7 (15:09):
I'd rather have him no ways to figure out how
to make Trevor Lawrence work than to have to say
the saying. I do think the one disadvantage that we
have through our medium here of audio his the moving
of his head on the video is also something. Plus,
it's kind of got a wide eyed look at added

(15:30):
to it. It is great and I almost think that
he was reading it verbatim. I know he wasn't where
you had along with your eight us. I think he
felt that there were eight a's, and as you said
the end in the question, yeah, they're just when you
write it out, just write one A, that's all, and
then you'll know it's doveall.

Speaker 1 (15:50):
Yes, there you go run.

Speaker 1 (16:08):
What Good Doug Gottlieb Show, Fox Sports Radio, Andrew Whitworth,
Fomberall Pro Offensive Tackle, Super Bowl champion, Walter Peyton Award
recipient in twenty twenty one, same year they won the
Super Bowl with the Rams. He'll join us on behalf
of PEPSI upcoming in the meantime. We like to do

(16:31):
this once a week. You know. It's the instead of
the my bad segment, like Hey, my Bad. Dan Bayer
is a guy that owns up to any misfire in
his previous judgment. In sports, we call it buyer's remorse.

Speaker 5 (16:49):
Some have remorse.

Speaker 3 (16:51):
I am deeply sorry for my irresponsible and selfish behavior
I engage, but.

Speaker 5 (16:57):
There's nothing quite like buyer's.

Speaker 2 (17:02):
All right, dB, what he got by what you buy?

Speaker 1 (17:03):
Remorse?

Speaker 2 (17:04):
Yead, Doug.

Speaker 7 (17:04):
I got two things to pass along. One is actually
not remorse, but you'll understand when I explain it. But
the first thing absolute remorse that while I tried to
catch some college hoops last night, Buck Guys and Hawkeyes
playing USC and UCLA after the TGL event on ESPN,
it was Duke NC State, and while Cooper Flagg put

(17:27):
on a show, I regret seeing and Sam passed this
along to me that he saw it on social media.

Speaker 2 (17:36):
I regret seeing the Duke puke. That was. That was
a tough one last night. Yeah, that was that.

Speaker 1 (17:42):
Wasn't describe it to people who didn't see it.

Speaker 7 (17:45):
Duke center, uh And I don't know the player's name,
but was standing under the basket and started to get ill.
And he knew he was getting sick because he put
his hand over his mouth.

Speaker 1 (17:56):
Was he licensed to ill?

Speaker 2 (17:57):
That's it was not? This was there was There was
no Beastie boys anything with this.

Speaker 7 (18:03):
He put his hand over his mouth trying to stop
what was going to be the inevitable. And let's just
say he had a lot of green gatorade. That seemed
to be what happened last night at Cameron Indoor in him. Sam,
how many towels did we see on.

Speaker 6 (18:18):
All of them the court like like you could like
almost like someone when they make them pile of leaves.
It was like a pile of towels you could you
could bury yourself and hide in.

Speaker 2 (18:26):
It was that big. All the gatorade towels in the area.
And this isn't like a center we've seen at times.

Speaker 7 (18:34):
This happened in the NFL, or an offensive lineman or
even a defensive back. That stuff gets absorbed into the
grass or even the turf. This is a basketball court,
so it just ran like the rivers and the poor
foak togs that were sitting courtside. It was t back
clean up on Asle Cameron indoor there. Yeah, absolutely makes

(18:58):
me want to be but it.

Speaker 1 (19:00):
Isn't the Please.

Speaker 7 (19:03):
The spin off from that is Jason Stewart. Are you like,
is it Jerry Seinfeld who never threw up? Jason Stewart
is it's been absolved. That bottles my mind. Please, his
entire life, never thrown up my entire life, not once.

Speaker 2 (19:21):
He's a freak of nature. People, What is going on?
That is? That'sally never throw up your entire life, not once.
And I don't.

Speaker 3 (19:30):
I don't think that's a good thing. I think your
body needs to get rid of stuff and if it
keeps it down, it probably has made me more sick
and I'll probably die younger.

Speaker 6 (19:39):
It's an it's a biological tool for expelling bad things
out of your body. And Jason is never you know,
it's another weird thing similar to this. Manci Bolanos, one
of her update anchors and hosts here, she says she's
never gotten a headache in her life, So both of
those things just I can't wrap my head around him
because I've had plenty of headaches and I've thrown up
plenty in my life.

Speaker 2 (19:59):
Yeah, I've I've as well the throwing up portion though
to not have it.

Speaker 1 (20:03):
It's you, guys. I don't know if you guys know
this night. My daughter Grace is she has like a
legit phobia puke that she's had to overcome. It's like
a really hard thing for her. It's crazy. The other
thing about watching somebody puke is when you when you
watch it in person, a lot of times you have
to throw up yourself. It's like yawning.

Speaker 2 (20:22):
Knee jerk reaction.

Speaker 1 (20:23):
Yeah, it's yawning.

Speaker 2 (20:25):
The other side of the coin.

Speaker 7 (20:27):
The thing that I don't regret is usually Dug TV.
If it's not Paul Patrol or Bluie or something. If
I can get my handle on it, I'll keep something
on it. My wife is great enough where she will
leave the TV on because there may be a game
mom that I need to see something happen. Sure, So

(20:48):
last night I got Brody ready for bed, went upstairs.
Usually Mom does it. Mom takes care of everything. Pj's
the whole deal. Last night. It was Mike. He wanted
me to do it last night. So we're hanging out
having a good time playing with our Air air Force jets,
the whole deal. I left Arizona Iowa State on the
TV downstairs because hey, there's a big twelve matchup, big game,

(21:13):
one of the best teams in the country on the
road in an amazing atmosphere. And I got done. My
wife had turned it over to The Bachelor, so I
did not get to see what was going on. Went
upstairs to record our I Want Your Flex podcast and
saw that there was four minutes left in overtime in
McHale Center, and that means I missed this.

Speaker 3 (21:33):
We need a three to get to overtime, y'all, also
running the line, get it off to Love Love Midport, Shut.

Speaker 5 (21:39):
Is up, cut, Glove is hit a three.

Speaker 1 (21:42):
We're going overtime, come Backpurt. Caleb Love has just tied
this game.

Speaker 7 (21:49):
Bedlam and McHale sixty feet from Caleb Love, Arizona Radio
Network on the call. What a highlight. They end up
winning in overtime. They end up covering which I know
Iowa stave. They're probably not happy about uh, in addition
to adding the insult to injury. But just a great again,
I would I would trade it one hundred times out
of one hundred to be able to spend time with

(22:11):
my kid then to see that highlight. But my wife's like,
let's check out the Bachelor, and so she turned it
over to the Bachelor. Couldn't rewind to see it and
then caught it, had to catch it on the replay.
But again there's no remorse there. But what a play
last night in Tucson.

Speaker 6 (22:25):
That game was signed, sealed, delivered for the Cyclones and wow,
she throws What a shot? What a shot?

Speaker 2 (22:33):
I was? You know, did you have a.

Speaker 7 (22:36):
Bachelor pod jay off of last night? It was last
night in a new episode.

Speaker 2 (22:42):
I need to catch up.

Speaker 3 (22:44):
It's on my It's in my cue tonight.

Speaker 2 (22:46):
Gotcha.

Speaker 1 (22:48):
Really you can do that. You can have the the
what is it? So what I'm looking for?

Speaker 5 (22:53):
You?

Speaker 1 (22:54):
You have the pod that everybody talks about with the
Bachelor and not watch it at during it's first airing by.

Speaker 3 (22:59):
The pod You're talking about the Bachelor lifestyle podcast with
you know it.

Speaker 1 (23:05):
Is it's the pod of record. Well, that's what I
was looking for.

Speaker 3 (23:09):
It's been called the Great White Shark in a Sea
of Bachelor podcast because it has teeth.

Speaker 2 (23:16):
It has teeth.

Speaker 1 (23:17):
Oh all right, more on The Bachelor in a second.
Andrew Whitworth in a moment and apparently I'm not going
to be coaching against Craig Campy on Thursday night. Oh yeah, yeah, no,
not me. I didn't. It is the first time, like
I'm I'm actually not in trouble for something I wish
I was in trouble for. Uh, we'll get to I

(23:38):
had a chance to catch up with Andrew Whitworth, super
Bowl champion, uh, former Walter Payton Man of the Year
on a Zoom call earlier. Take a listen, Andrew, when
I when I say super Bowl, and obviously we know
how your your career came to an unbelievable end. What
I say the word two words super Bowl? What comes
your mind?

Speaker 2 (23:58):
Oh?

Speaker 8 (23:59):
Man, I think it's so far stadium for sure. I mean,
you know, obviously an epic week, having the opportunity to
Thursday night when Walter paint Man of the Year, and
on a Sunday when when the Lombardi Trophy. So I
think of all those things happening under the sofa stadium roof,
and what a special place that'll always be to my heart.

Speaker 1 (24:17):
Well, look, that one was an unbelievable game, right, like
kind of lost and it was you know, you're you're
down a couple of wide receivers. Obj gets you know,
leaves the game in the first half, and it's Cooper
Cups down the stretch getting catch after catch after catch
in the moment. What do you remember about that final drive?

Speaker 8 (24:39):
You know, I think the craziest part that I remember is,
you know, almost that feeling like here we are in
the Super Bowl, and it felt like every drive we
went out on the field, we lost a player. I mean,
it was like, emotionally on the sideline, you're like, Odell
just went down. You know, Tyler Higby had blown his
knee out the week before or two weeks before in
the championship game. And then you know, our back up

(25:00):
tight end goes down. And then you're like, all right,
now we're down to tight end who's only played special
team so far this season. We're down our receiver. One
of the other receivers is banged up.

Speaker 5 (25:09):
Who in the.

Speaker 8 (25:10):
World's going out on the field to help us? Win
this game, and so you just started feeling like things
are going against you. And I'll never forget Sean McVay
bringing the whole offense down, getting down on the knee
and going, listen, guys, this has not been our day
like this, everything's gone against us. But right now we're
about to get the ball back, and if for the
next five minutes, you guys can go be unbelievable, you'll
be world champions. And after he said that, it's almost

(25:33):
like it just clicked in everybody's mind, like you're right, like,
no matter what's happened in this game, if we can
just go on this drive and take this football and
score touchdown, we'll be world champions. And that's what I
really remember is just the vibe in that huddle of
every single snap there was positivity. There was guys saying
we got this, We're about to do it, We're about
to you know, And it's just it was like we

(25:54):
believe before we even walked out there that no matter
what happened on this drive, there's gonna be some adversity,
we're gonna find a way to get it in that
end zone.

Speaker 2 (26:01):
And it worked out that way.

Speaker 1 (26:03):
As somebody who was in the league as long as
you were in the league and now covering the league
since you ended, what are your feelings on the rematch,
the idea of not just having two teams that faced
off in Super Bowl a couple years ago, but also
having Kansas City there, because I do think that more
social media wise, there's some Chiefs fatigue. But for you personally,

(26:24):
what's your feelings about this rematch?

Speaker 8 (26:26):
Yeah, I think people talk about Chiefs fatigue, and I
love good football, and like you know, regardless of what
people think about all the different things of why the
Chiefs are there, the way they are able to make
plays and be polished and at their absolute best in
huge moments and continue to make teams play great to
beat them, like, you have to come up with some

(26:48):
special play, some special moment if you want to win
against them. They never give you the game. And to me,
there's so much greatness in that that it's more than
just Mahomes being this special quarterback that you've got to
be able to beat Andy Reid, you got to be
able to beat Steve Spagnol, you got to be able
to beat Chris Jones, Like they're gonna find these ways

(27:10):
to just make the plays in the moment, and it
just seems like every single time teams can't find a
way to make bigger plays. And so when you're able
to put people in those positions, you have to get
credit for that. And that's why they're sitting here with
the opportunity to do something nobody in NFLA history has
ever done. At the same time, I love this Philadelphia
Eagles team and ever since the bye week, who they've

(27:32):
been and really have stuck to that identity of we're
going to show people we can run the football and
go to the super Bowl and win.

Speaker 5 (27:40):
What they did.

Speaker 8 (27:41):
After one week rest, really where they were in their
season to finish the season. I mean, this is a
talented roster that's healthy and to get a week off
and be fresh. This is a great offensive line and
a Saquan has been out of his mind. You know,
I said I was never going to pick against the
Chiefs again. I lost last week by picking the Bills
because I thought they'd finally become the team. I think

(28:03):
I'm gonna do it again.

Speaker 1 (28:04):
I think I'm gonna go Eagles, going to go Eagles.
Tell me on what you're doing for PEPSI for the
Super Bowl.

Speaker 8 (28:10):
Yeah, I got an opportunity. Pepsi's hosting the first ever
Pepsi Super Bowl Boil crowning the best seafood Bowl in
the Big Easy, February seventh at Walden Park. It's gonna
be a really cool opportunity to come together. We got
two of New Orleans' finest restaurants in Mister Shrimp's Kitchen
and Crawling Seafood. Gonna have a little competition so you
can throw down and have the best ball. I mean,

(28:30):
coming from Louisiana, this is what you did Friday nights
after a game Saturdays watching college football. You get the
table out and throw a cloth over it, throw the
crawfish bowl out there, and sit around and fellowship and
have a great time and tell stories and enjoy food
and fellowship and something nice ice cold to drink. And
in this case, it'll be some good pepsi and for me,

(28:51):
some Pepsi zeros. I'm watching my cows Doug in my retirement,
so you know it's gonna be a good time. It's
be a lot of fun. I'm looking forward to judge it.
I'm gonna get a chance to be one of the
lead judges. I don't miss any opportunities to eat good food,
so this would be a good opportunity to do that.

Speaker 1 (29:04):
If I were to tell eighteen year old you that
you would have, you know, twenty twenty years in the NFL,
you'd be working on TV, you'd be a spokesperson for PEPSI,
you'd be the Walter Payton Umnitary of the Year, you'd
be a Super Bowl champion, You'd have all of these accolades.

(29:25):
What would you said to eighteen year old you?

Speaker 8 (29:28):
I would have never believed you as possible, and probably
that eighteen year old There's a lot of people that
spoke life into me and said that you were capable
of more than you think, and I'm glad I listened
to them, because sometimes we are our worst enemies and
that we don't believe in ourselves. And that's why I'm
really thankful for Nick Saban and a lot of coaches

(29:49):
that had impact in my life and telling me what
I'm capable of until I learned how to believe in
it myself and then took it from there. So I'm
very thankful for the people that poured into me that way,
because none of this would have been possible without them.
Speaking that belief into me.

Speaker 1 (30:05):
The last thing is the super Bowl and winning. It's
a drug, you know, so often cond times coaches, you know,
they lose and they're like, man, I just get I
get one more chance. What's it like to walk away
from now you got a couple of years away. What's
it like to walk away from that drug?

Speaker 2 (30:21):
You know?

Speaker 8 (30:22):
I think after the first year it was a little
bit of a struggle, and you've kept like having these
moments or have flashbacks and thinks I want to go
play again. I always say, the best thing it could
have ever happened to me is the Rams having a
really bad year in twenty twenty two, because I didn't
have the itch to think I might could go out
there and do it again. Because every week I would

(30:42):
watch a team play like I could go play better
than this guy, I could go do this, I could
go do this an elite level. And it didn't happen
that year, and then the Rams weren't really good. So
I wasn't like an old man come back for the
playoffs or come back for this final stretch trying to
make the playoffs. So after that year I was done mentally,
and so it was that helps me a bunch, because

(31:02):
that that is real. Once you win it, you think
you want to go do it again. And I'm always
thankful to Sean McVay too, because the very first meeting
I have with him in March, when I was trying
to decide what I wanted to do after we won, as
he was like, manage your friend, Like there is nothing
left for you to accomplish in this game, Like you know,
just go take care of those kids and that family
and do what's right for you this time instead of

(31:24):
doing for us. And so that that gave me a
lot of freedom too, man, But it is real. Once
you win it or you get that opportunity, all you
want to do is get back in there again.

Speaker 1 (31:33):
Dating time of the of the ball.

Speaker 8 (31:36):
Twelve to two. Man, We're gonna have a good time, brother,
It's gonna be good. Which day it's Friday, February seventh,
twelve to Walden Park in New Orleans, the River Walker
z Ebo.

Speaker 1 (31:45):
It's got a big time, am I. Thanks for you
and for PEPSI for letting us have you on and
we'll see you Nola. Can't wait look forward to it. Brother.
All right, that sounds pretty good, right, Yeah, we'll just
get your get your get your feeding cap on. If
you're going to come to that that broil.

(32:37):
Bud Doug.

Speaker 7 (32:38):
We start out with the news in the NBA that
dearon Fox want Oda. Sacramento and the Kings are likely
to open up trade talks for Fox prior to the
trade deadline coming up on Thursday. There are multiple reports
of saying that Fox has a desired destination. In fact,
kingsbeat dot Com is quoting called a couple of sources

(33:01):
is saying they know what team de Aaron Fox wants
to go to? Would you guys like to take a
guess at what destination de Aaron Fox would like to
go to or be traded to? Anybody want to take
a guess? Lakers from Jay Stu, Doug Iowa, Sam Nuggets, Nuggets,
Great Guests, No Dougs.

Speaker 1 (33:22):
I'm gonna go. I have one of two choices. I
would say one is.

Speaker 2 (33:32):
You can have them both.

Speaker 1 (33:33):
Your name's on the show, Okay, he's from Texas, so
I'd say either Miami or Shoot.

Speaker 2 (33:45):
You're getting warm, You're really warm?

Speaker 1 (33:48):
Warm?

Speaker 2 (33:48):
Yes, Jacksonville. No, now you're getting colder. No, he snowed
it there a couple of weeks ago.

Speaker 1 (33:56):
Warm. I said Miami, I was getting warm. No, well,
he said, I said, Texas, Yes, yeah.

Speaker 2 (34:02):
A three shot snow there too, Houston, the San Antonio.

Speaker 1 (34:07):
Superb want to play Wemby? Yes, yep. I think what's
funny about the Sacramento thing is like they fired Mike
Brown because well, Dearreon Fox screwed up in the game
situation and he called out dearon Fox. But they did
so because they thought they were pacifying Darreon Fox. Right,
They're like, oh, he doesn't like Mike Brown. Let's get
rid of Mike Brown, then he'll resign with us. He's like, no, no, no,

(34:28):
I have no problem with Mike Brown. I have a problem
with you. So it's slowly always something. And of course
he wants to play with Wemby. Why because he's Wemby?

Speaker 2 (34:36):
Yeah? Absolutely?

Speaker 1 (34:37):
Do you want to play with an X men or
an alien? That's what it's like.

Speaker 2 (34:41):
Cold.

Speaker 3 (34:42):
We just do a breakdown of Doug's guesses. He like
his first instinct, just like the book Blink, Your first
instrinc is typically right. He said he's from Texas, so probably.

Speaker 5 (34:54):
No.

Speaker 1 (34:54):
I just thought, like, there's one in Texas and then
the only other one outside of that. Guys for some
reason and want to go to Miami. He played for
the Heat, so I can see.

Speaker 2 (35:04):
Yeah, I can see what you were you were saying,
I and I.

Speaker 1 (35:07):
Did san Antonio. But again, who has ever said I
want to go to San Antonio?

Speaker 2 (35:12):
Sure?

Speaker 1 (35:13):
Right, it's a lot like that.

Speaker 2 (35:14):
Uh, I want to see the river wal I think
we should go for the final four.

Speaker 1 (35:17):
I mean, I love san Antonio. I love it, and
proximity to Austin pretty great. I'm just saying generally, The
only guy I can ever remember voluntarily going to San
Antonio as a free agent was what's his name? Power forward?

Speaker 2 (35:32):
Marcus Oli.

Speaker 1 (35:33):
No, well, no, he was traded.

Speaker 2 (35:35):
He was traded, that's ready. And then he didn't like
it at first.

Speaker 1 (35:38):
No, no, no, he was drafted. Uh what's that he
played in xavior guy played for the Pace Yeah.

Speaker 2 (35:47):
David West and call all right.

Speaker 1 (35:49):
He gave up ten million dollars to go play for
the Spurs and then they went and win a championship.
You're like, dude, what you doing? What are you doing? Anyway?
What else?

Speaker 3 (35:58):
He yet?

Speaker 7 (35:58):
In an effort to get more families to the ballpark,
Major League Baseball said that sixty two point eight percent
of their Monday through Friday games for the upcoming season
will begin prior to seven o'clock local time. Last season,
eighty seven point eight percent of weekday games ended before
ten o'clock local time, trying to get more families to
the ballpark doing so during the week, expect those earlier

(36:22):
than normal starts in baseball.

Speaker 1 (36:24):
So what time?

Speaker 2 (36:25):
Six point thirty local time? Yeah, six o'clock. It was
a big No.

Speaker 1 (36:29):
One problem with that is I get how it's not
a long day but man, you get doing work, you
gotta go pick up the kids. You come back, you
go to the ballpark. The ballparks are downtown. I don't know,
does that really make it better?

Speaker 7 (36:40):
Yes, it actually does. And the Brewers, I remember when
I cover them twenty years ago. I'd have to cover
in the in April weather it's not good, so you
don't really want to be out late because you never
know what you can get. In April still can be
kind of chilly. Yeah, I think that it's smart form
Major League Gates.

Speaker 1 (36:58):
Very exciting me about the spring. By the way, talking
about April.

Speaker 7 (37:00):
Yeah, Eagles are gonna wear their home green uniforms for
Super Bowl fifty nine. Chiefs will wear their road whites,
the same exact look that we had in Super Bowl
fifty seven.

Speaker 1 (37:09):
Mistake. Eagles should wear the throwback green.

Speaker 2 (37:11):
Yes, the Kelly Greens should throw the Kelly Greens. They
should wear them all the time. I don't like this.

Speaker 1 (37:16):
Are the Chiefs wearing the all whites.

Speaker 7 (37:20):
I'm not sure. I just saw the jerseys. I think
we'll see red pants though.

Speaker 1 (37:23):
I like the all whites. I would go all whites
in the and the and if I was them, I
would do with a Kelly Green. But that's just me.
I'm not the guru of uniforms the way you are.

Speaker 2 (37:32):
Dan. And that's the press. Get out there and pressed.

Speaker 5 (37:36):
That was the press.
