A demolition in Super Bowl fifty nine.
Speaker 4 (02:34):
Let's look at a throw on first down. It's a
downfield Shute touchdown.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Dovtay Smith.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
There is your knockout toch killing Towns.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
The Philadelphia Eagles have been in the Kansas City Chiefs
forty twenty two to win their second Super Bowl. That
scoreline doesn't look like a blowout, but Philly led forty
points to six before a couple of late touchdowns for
Kansas City squeezed the winning margin up just a little.
Brit Let's bring an NFL writer covering the Philadelphia Eagles,
(03:07):
Chris Franklin, who stayed up like for us in Philadelphia
to have a chat. Thanks for doing so. Chris. First
of all, did you ever, in your wildest dreams expect
such a one sided game?
Speaker 4 (03:19):
I never thought that was going to happen. In fact,
I thought it was going to be one of those
games where it comes down to the fourth quarter and
you're holding your breath trying to see who's going to
win this game. I mean the way that they demolitions
put it nicely. The way that they controlled the line
of scrimmage, the way they put pressure and meet Patrick
Mahomes like somebody else. That was crazy and got to
(03:40):
give a lot of cuts to Nick Sirianni. But Vic
Vangrio with that defense, it's crazy how well they did.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
Were the Eagles really really good, were the Chiefs really
really bad? Or was it a combination of those two things.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
I think it was a both because I look at
it when I look at it, and we look at
that when you look at it received the Chief's receiving corps.
I mean, it showed up late with Xavier Warrior worthy
with those touchdowns, but when you look at it, something
just seemed off in terms of Travis See and Patrick
Mahomes in these in the last throughout the playoffs. It
wasn't until last week where you start to see him
emerge a little bit. Now you look at that the
(04:14):
Eagles secondary, and it's funny that we talk about this
defense because heading into the season, you would have thought
if the Eagles weren't able to get Super Bowl, that's
that defense was playing halfway average. And now you look like,
wait a minute, they were in the best defense in
the league. It's crazy, but I think, yeah, I think
there was some of the Chiefs deficiencies really showed themselves,
and Vic Vangel was able to exploit them.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
I do want to talk about the Eagles, but just
on Patrick Mahomes. Stop him and you go along whyle
They stopping the Chiefs obviously, but a game to forget
a couple of interceptions, including one that was returned for
a touchdown. He was strip sacked early in the fourth quarter.
How did the Eagles so efficiently limit the effectiveness of
Patrick Mahomes.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
It was It was discipline, That's That's what the biggest
thing was, because a lot of times when you see
your defensive lineman, your eyes light up big, like, oh
I can get to him, and you're thinking, like, okay
him through that reverse pivot and make these plays behind
the backs, what have you. I think what the Eagles did,
and they did very well, was they got the pressure
with the four people by themselves, and they were very
(05:17):
disciplined in their rushes, so they didn't let him get
out of the pocket too many times, so they snared
him in there. It almost like a vice that just
worked of all four guys getting into pressure on them,
and that was the biggest key on that one too,
and you put them in third and longs. I think
the Chiefs were like three of eleven or third downs
or what have you. It's rough. So yeah, it was good.
It was a good job for a good job by them.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
On the flip side, can you give us your astatement
of the performance of Eagles quarterback gilnd Hurts today.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
It was a redemption tour. I remember definitely. There were
times in the city, in the city of Philadelphia where
he was the he was vilified, and you look at
the time, like people say, oh, he can't pass the ball,
he can't throw the ball, what have you. And look
what he did when it came up time the big
in the biggest stage of them all, these last two games,
not only get the Chiefs in the Super but against
(06:07):
the Washington Commanders as well to an NSCRY Championship game.
He still tall and it's that calm cool. Is he
gonna put up three hundred yards all the time. No,
but he's going to get his completion percentage very high
enough so that way, you know, he gets stay away
from his making mistakes as possible. You continue to move
the ball down the field. It continually adds pressure on
two composing defenses, and we saw that they did. That's
the Chiefs and look where they are now.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
So Jalen Hurts aside Chris, who else really stood out
for you and stood up today?
Speaker 4 (06:33):
Cecily, I think when you look Josh Sweat, that the
ability for him to get that pressure off the edge,
I think it was like two and a half sacks
he had. It really set the tone. So Josh Sweat,
who's going to be a free agent after this coming
up this coming off season. He made a very good
case to a lot of teams, not only just the Eagles,
but to a lot of teams like, yeah, I think
(06:54):
it's not for me to get paid. He was another one.
And then you look at the I thought the corners,
the young rookie corners, Cooper dejen and Quinyon Mitchell, the
two of them playing on the brightest stage as rookies,
like they're really be immersed by the stage of it all,
and they were able to just play cool and calm, collected,
(07:14):
and we saw the genie even get that pick six.
So you look at those were those were guys, I said.
And finally I thought in Devonte Smith too to grow
up an hour away from the super Dome and the
next thing you know, you're there, You're catching touch down
at the bomb that effectively ended the game. It was good.
It was a good uh. It was a good performance
by all those guys.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
There was twenty four mili at half time, which looks
really comfortable. But then you think back to Super Bowl
fifty one and the Falcons blowing a twenty eighth free
lead to lose to the Patriots. Did you did you
feel comfortable that they would win it at halftime or
were you still quite interested to say what might happen
in the third quarter.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
I was still I'm just like, you know, let me
check because the last time I was at fifty seven
and I thought I saw Patrick Mahomes limping, Chase Daniels
was warming up, and I'm like, oh, this game's over.
So I started writing down like okay, Eagles got this,
and then all of a sudden it came a second
window that's at the loss, and that's like on overtime.
So yeah, I was going to say, you can never
you never ever ever take for granted about this thing
(08:12):
with Patrick Mahomes. But the Eagles did what they had
to do. They put continue to put pressure even those
field goals, you continue to put points on the board
and really pressure them be able to do that, and
that's and they were able to do that and really
make things difficult for Patrick Mahomes. And now they're looking
at try to start a new three pet somewhere something else.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Does this one heal the wounds of two years ago
of Super Bowl fifty seven.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
A bit?
Speaker 5 (08:35):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (08:36):
I think recently, Yeah, because now it does in a way.
But now you kind of go like, you know what,
they really should have had two in three years, because
that team should have beaten they should have beaten that,
they should have beaten the Chiefs in that previous one
fifty seven. But you take what you can get in time.
And you look at the way this team came back
from last year and they were ten to one and
you thought, okay, they're going to make the Super Bowl
(08:56):
gain and then they collapsed in epically and now that
they were pounce on the first round, but that might
have been the best thing for them. I was able
to get them refocused, they had to target, everybody came
in focus, what have you. And it was rough going.
I'm gonna lie, it was rough going early in this
season two and two at the bye weeknd, like a
lot of questions, they right at the ship and they
were able to get to what they were able to do.
And this is where we're at right now.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Well, they have a history I have bating perennial Super
Bowl winners that beat Tom Brady and the Patriots and
Super Bowl fifty two. What is it about the Eagles
when it comes to bating perennial super Bowl winners.
Speaker 4 (09:28):
I don't know. Maybe they relished a term of being
an underdog because you think even going back to eighty
when they were playing the Raiders and they beat the
Raiders beforehand, but the Raiders and they were Eagles were favorite,
and next thing you know, okay, they lost the game.
There's something about them being underdogs and they almost won.
They almost won thirty nine against the Patriots who went
on Brady. It's something they relish about being those underdogs
(09:50):
and they banded together and it seems to work out.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
So do you predicting, Chris that now having as you say,
I probably could have should have one, one, two and
three years, can I now start to you know, I
start to bat the chase a little bit and not
be the underdog anymore? Can I go on a bit
of a run?
Speaker 4 (10:09):
I think I think everybody will. They'll try it. I
can see them going like, you know, we're underdogs. Anybody's
just looking like you're a super Bowl champion, just hung
up a banner, you get in a ring, like you
can't be the underdogs? What's going on? But yeah, I
think it's one of the things for the going they'll
they'll keep that mentality and especially Yeah, a lot of
questions going into the off season now, several players such
as Josh I mentioned Josh Water earlier, Zach Bond, and
(10:32):
Milton Williams. Those three are from a free agent's right
guard McKay Beckton. He's become a free agent. So they're
going to do whatever they can in this little small
window that they have before they reach cap. The salary
cap comes and in them. But yeah, they'll think they'll
think their underdogs, but nobody, nobody in the leagues when
I ever think they're underdogs. Were coming from this one now.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
And in a wat of scenes, Chris Wait a Super
Bowl fifty nine rank among those you've seen.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
It was I think where I felt like we're looking
back at the eighties and nineties versus the Super Bowls
where there was much domination, where you saw the NFC
just paralily beat the AFC like you saw the John
Elway Broncos before he actually finally win one. When you
look at those Washington commanders with Mark Rippon, you look
at Phil Simms and taking them, you look at it
(11:21):
and you're like, it just felt like that type of game.
It was just pure domination. Was it going to go
down as one of the best, the best watched and
most exciting. No, but I think it will go down
as one of the most dominant ones. And that twenty
two full twenty two points by Chiefs cause because a
lot of that was in the garbage time and Eagles
were playing off coverage.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
Light in the evening. Now of cool some Philadelphia. But
will there be a potty young on for the not there?
Speaker 4 (11:44):
Oh, we started already. The fire fireworks are doing the city.
The city well New Orleans did it. They greased the
poles so everybody wouldn't climb up on the poles and
started the street lights and everything else. I will I
will safely bet that there even though there was a
mishap beforehand, and last the NMC Championship game where somebody
was fortunate passed away from climbing up a pole. I
(12:05):
will bet you that there were people that are still going, yeah,
why not and start throwing up there too. It's it's
party's going down probably till two three o'clock in the morning.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
Fantastic. And just to finish it, when you're talking about
the half time show, not sure how much of it
you watch, but how much is Kendrick Lamar's halftime show, Well, well,
it hasn't been received.
Speaker 4 (12:23):
It depends who you like. I see a lot of
people not liking it. I thought it was good, and
I said the little thing, especially when it came to
Drake and everybody was wondering is he going to see
the line and not like us, is he going to
say it? And then he had that little sly look.
So when we could see and they could turn TV
off and he started looking in and he said, I
was like, oh, okay, that was a that was pretty strong.
(12:44):
You so your conventions, that's very bold and it might
come up with a loss you later. That was very bold.
It was very very bold.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Chris. A wonderful day for fans of the Philadelphia Eagles.
Thanks so much for pinting the pictures for us. Hope
you get some sleate tonight with those fireworks going off.
Thanks for joining us across New Zealand.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
Thank you very much for having me on.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
It's been great to have you. Chris. Chris Franklin there,
NFL writer based in Philadelphia. After the Eagles win over
the Kansas City Chiefs forty twenty two earlier today in
New Orleans twenty past seven on the Dot, your Super
Bowl thoughts are welcome. Look, I'm not expecting you to
give us a deep dive into the tactics of the
game or where it was won or lost. That's what
(13:22):
it got chriss on for to give us some sort
of a broad idea of how the game won and lost.
But I'm more interested really on whether sper Bowl has
cut through here on one hundred and eighty ten eighty
Did you watch it today? In the United States, we
all know it's a national tradition. Super Bowl is by
(13:43):
far and away the biggest event on the American sporting calendar.
The NBA thinks it's big editors, Major League Baseball thinks
it's big editors, and hockey ice hockey NHL thinks it's big,
and it is, but it is nothing compared to Super Bowl.
Over half of the population of the United States tune
(14:07):
in to watch every year. Super Bowls make up nineteen
of the twenty most watched television broadcasts in United States history.
Nineteen of the top twenty were Super Bowls. So if
you're wondering what the other one was, it was the
series finale of mash back in nineteen eighty three. I
(14:31):
honestly don't think that there is an equivalent here in
New Zealand, certainly not an annual one. Yes, we watch
the All Blacks and big numbers and the All Blacks
in a Rugby World Cup final. Sure, twenty twenty three
Rugby World Cup Final one and a half million New
Zealanders tuned in to watch that. So if you extrapolate
(14:51):
that out, what's that about a third of us? Actually
less than a third, probably around sort of twenty seven
twenty eight percent of us watching the Rugby World Cup Final.
Over half of the population of the US tuning to
watch Super Bowl every year, So we did what another
(15:11):
at least another million of us tuning in and some
to match it. We know we're near it, So again,
what has it landed in your consciousness? Was it on
at work today? What about your kids? I've said a
few times on the show and on weekend Sport that
(15:34):
my seventeen year old son he won't watch an All
Blacks tests from start to finish, but he watches so
much NFL, so much He's got NFL pass which allows
him to watch his own team and any other team
and all of the you know, analysis shows and previews
and reviews and highlights and everything he wants. He watches
(15:55):
so much NFL compared to rugby. Is that what you're
seeing as well? Be interested to know. I eight hundred
and eighty ten eighty is our number nine two niney
two for text messages. Just a bit of an idea
of whether it was something that you know that has
all that well, or that has in the past jumped
(16:16):
into your into your consciousness, or is it really when
you look at it just like too hard to understand,
too confusing, too many stoppages. That's the thing I hear
the most. It's just too many stoppages. I get what
they're trying to do. I get that they're trying to
get the ball down that end. That's similar to rugby
in many ways, we can kind of get the idea
(16:36):
of what it's about. Want to get the ball down
the end there, don't have to press it down, you
have to run in there for a touchdown. But yeah,
is it something that that you know, perhaps is just
a little bit hard for you to understand and you've
never you haven't sort of grown we haven't grown up
with it. It's not deep in our DNA, is it.
So maybe it's a little bit hard to understand. But
(16:57):
we get events, we get big events. Lines open on
it eight hundred and eighty ten eighty nine two nine
to one, Text seven twenty four back with your calls after.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
This the right call is your goal on oh, eight
hundred and eighty ten eighty Sports Talk All on your
home of Sports News TALKSB.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Seven twenty seven on News Talks AB talking Super Bowl
and everything wrapped around it. If you text to get through.
New Zealand have just taken a third wicket in their
Tri Series match against South Africa, Michael Bracewell picking up
the wicket of Kyle Verien for just one. He has
been bold for one and South Africa in the twenty
(17:36):
seventh over one hundred and thirty two for three, a
wicket for O'Rourke earlier on timber Bevooma, the captain of
South Africa caught behind by Tom Latham off the bowling
of O'Rourke for twenty and Jason Smith run out for
forty one. So in the twenty seventh over, South Africa
are one hundred and thirty two for three. Now just
updating you on Ford Trophy as well. While were on
(17:57):
the subject of cricket, there were four Trophy matches today
in Fugoday, christ Church and Dunedin. In Fugoday, Northern Districts
all out two hundred and ten the Central Stags no
problem chasing that down two hundred and twelve for four
and they got there. Let me just check for you.
They got there in forty overs, last ball of the
(18:18):
fortieth overs, so with ten overs to spare, no problem
there for the Central Stags to win by six wickets.
Canterbury three hundred and twenty one for five batting first
against the Wellington Firebirds in christ Church, Wellington all out
for two hundred and forty two or went for Canterbury
by seventy nine runs. And in Dunedent the Otago vaults
(18:38):
two hundred and sixty eight, the Auckland Asers getting there
with a ball to spare two hundred and seventy one
for seven off the final ball of the In fact,
I think it was the fifth ball of the fiftieth
over so so just getting there. Leon emails and you
might have heard Leon yesterday afternoon giving us a brilliant
preview of Super Bowl fifty nine. This is our regular
(19:00):
correspondent from Melbourne. Leon obviously dissip pointed the Chiefs couldn't
make history, but well done to the Eagles, deserving winners.
Kansas City being unable to score in the first half
was their eventual downfall, but I'm confident they will be
back next year. NRL reject and star offensive alignsman aligneman
(19:21):
Jordan Malata picks up his first Lombardi Trophy for Philadelphia
after a huge year, so weld Doune for him. He's
actually a New Zealand citizen, so we'll take it. I'm
already counting down the day, says Leon, until the new season.
Can't wait. Ps. With the NFL season over now, Andy
and I can focus on the NBA. Go Pelicans. How
are the Pelicans going? Andy? Are they are they doing.
Speaker 6 (19:41):
Yeah, let's not talk about that.
Speaker 7 (19:42):
Piney thinks.
Speaker 6 (19:43):
Okay, okay, I think they've they have won twelve games
out of how many they've lost forty, that's all.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
It doesn't sound like a great ratio to me. But
haven't we meant to be talking NFL? Pinehing? Move on?
Move on?
Speaker 4 (19:59):
Now?
Speaker 2 (19:59):
How do I get brought into this all? Leon brought
you into it on text? My thirty three year old
son went to a Vikings game when he was twelve,
never looked back. Still loves the e're blacks, though, thank
you for your text. Halftime show. Have to be honest, Piney,
Dane rumble would have been better. Yeah, I got to say,
I'm talking about watching it at work here. When the
(20:25):
game was on, there were people sort of wandering pasts.
This is a TV over one side of our office,
and people were wandering past and having a look and saying, oh,
what's the score and what's happening, and taking I think
what you would describe as a passing interest in the game.
But at halftime that entire side of the office filled up,
mainly with younger people. I must say, to watch the
(20:46):
halftime show, to watch Rapper Kendrick Lamar in the halftime show,
and I think reviews of his performance have been mixed.
I am in no way an authority on that genre
of music, but there are I've done a bit of
(21:07):
reading online and some people say, hey, yeah, he was
he was terrific, really really good. Others are saying, ah,
it was a bit underwhelming. I'm not sure what you're
supposed to expect from a halftime show. I know over
there it's as much a tradition as the as the
halftime commercials, and we get to those in the moment.
But look, I watched it. I was more interested, I
(21:28):
think in the sport, but I saw him up there,
and it's clearly a multi million dollar production. Hell on earth,
they even get the stage up, it's a I mean,
normally for a concert, it takes a day or two
to get a stage up. For this, it's, you know,
all happened so so quickly. Halftime's elong gated. It's about
half an hour I think between when they run off
and when they run back on again. And you know,
(21:48):
there's obviously five minutes each side to get the stage
set up. The show itself about fifteen minutes, but it's
as much a tradition as the halftime commercials. Nick Siriani
is the coach, the head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles.
He was clearly the happier of the two coaches after
the game, and most people picked up on the fact
that Philadelphia's defense and even talking to Chris Franklin there
(22:12):
oh Man at a Philadelphia picked up on this that
the Philadelphia defense was what won them the game. So
what would Nick Siriani's thoughts on his team's defense.
Speaker 8 (22:22):
Yeah, if you look at you know, if you look
at we haven't We haven't traditionally blitzed a lot. This year,
we've been able to get home with our four man
rush and been able to cover there with the seven
in the back in the back end. You know, we
were able to get home that today with with it
as well. Again, we do what we think we need
(22:44):
to do to win, not what anybody else thinks we
got to do to win. And this was the way, uh,
you know, we felt like we needed to go about it.
That doesn't mean that there wasn't things that you have
in there that you blitz, but you know, just like
I would say, just like you know, I'm sure there
was some there were some times there that you know,
(23:05):
I'm thinking, hey, I go for this on fourth down
in this scenario. Well, the game flow told me to
do something different, Right, There's a feel to how things
transpire throughout a game. You don't just close your eyes
and say I'm gonna do this because this you know,
there's a flow to it. And it's the same thing
with calling a game offensively, defensively, game management wise, you
(23:26):
play the flow of the game. And with the way
it was working, you know, we kept we kept ripping it.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
Twenty four zero a hate at half time, which seems
a big lead and as it turned out, Walls and
an assyluable one. So what was the feeling in the
ego shit at half time?
Speaker 8 (23:40):
The things we talked about. We made sure everyone was
resting at first, but one of the main things we
talked about is be ready for anything, you know, be
ready for more, for different exotic things, things that make
them be able to try to get back into the game.
But one thing that we really focused on and studied
a bunch of you know, we got to protect the
way they get that they can get back into this
(24:02):
game is you know, us going three and out on offense,
having sacks, having penalties, turning the ball over, and for
explosive plays to happen on offense, on their offense, giving
up on our defense. And I just thought we did
a great job of, you know, handling that. We truly
were playing it like hey, this is the second game
at zero zero, and if we win this one, we're
(24:24):
gonna win this game. And the guys were focused, the
guys were locked in. It really was evident of the
entire week, the entire two weeks. I think when we
won the NFC Championship game in twenty twenty two, there
was so much joy, and I don't want to say
there wasn't joy. It was just like all right, this year,
it was like all right, let's go. We got to
go finish the job now. And I think it was
(24:46):
the same attitude at halftime of just locking in, focused
and let's go finish the job. And that's what we did.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
And finally from Nick Soriiani, the head coach of the
Philadelphia Eagles, how much has this quarterback Jalen Hurts growing
since the last Super Bowl two years ago, which the
Eagles lost to the Kansas City Chiefs.
Speaker 8 (25:08):
Yeah, he just keeps getting He just keeps getting better.
He knows how to win. He does a great job
of being able to block out all the outside noise.
I think it's you know, I find it funny when
it's like, you know, well, Jalen is good, but he's
got a good team around him. Like that's football, Like
a gain, you cannot be great without the greatness of others,
Like Jalen can't do it by himself. He needs a
(25:31):
j He needs that offensive line, He needs Saquon and
UH and vice versa. You know the reason Saquon has
a special year, you know, not only the offensive line,
but the attention that Jalen commit commands for the run game.
He's special. Jalen special. And you know, the criticism, it
(25:51):
just blows my mind because I think he I think
he's so special and won so many games and works
his butt off and UH just continues to get better,
can block out everything and and just focus on the
task at hand of getting better, putting yourself position and
to win each week. And he does a great job
of that. And he had an unbelievable game today when
(26:12):
we needed him too, because when you sell out to stop,
you know, we knew how good of a coach, and
how good of a defense that we were playing today
and it all but when you sell out to stop
one thing, another thing opens and Jalmen was able to
take advantage of that today. And man, he's him and
this team are world champs forever.
Speaker 7 (26:33):
That is.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
Nick Siriani, head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles. GA Poney
says this text from Mike Hell, yeah, I love the NFL.
My forty nine ers didn't make it, but yeah, the
Eagles get rid of the Rappers at halftime. They're all waste.
He's very good. Mike Will says it was on at work,
but I'm not that interested. Yes, I'll keep tabs on
the result, but I won't lose sleep over it if
(26:55):
I miss it. Think you will. I managed to watch
twenty minutes of coverage before tapping out because there were
only four minutes of game time. Yeah, I think as
I see before. That's the biggest criticism of NFL from
those who don't watch it religiously is the ball and
play time. Evening Jos says Nath the best halftime shadowed day,
(27:19):
ice Cube, Doctor Dre and Snoop Dogg. That was a
good one. Even I appreciated that Naith, thank you. In
the nineteen sixty nine moon landing, says Peter had around
one hundred and twenty five to one hundred and fifty
million viewers in the US when the population was not
much over two hundred million, So that beats the Super Bowl.
I checked on that, Peter, and it was never officially
(27:40):
recorded by Nielsen, who are the ones who gather this
data in terms of the number of people. It was
only it was only based on household viewership. They did
household viewership rather than actual viewership, which is obviously the
(28:00):
technology has improved in the time since, so and it
still it does say here in some of the reading
I've just done since you sent your text, that it's
generally accepted that the Apollo eleven moon landing in July
of nineteen sixty nine was the most watched. However, a
(28:22):
lot of different news networks had their own coverage, and
Super Bowl is typically just on the one channel, isn't
it CBS. I think so. CBS's coverage of Super Bowl
fifty eight last year holds the record for the largest
average viewership for any live network US television broadcast. But
(28:43):
I take your point on the moon landing if there
was any way of knowing for sure, I would say that, yes,
it probably is. Hi, Chris, Okay, NFL, you're a fan. Yeah,
I'm a huge.
Speaker 7 (28:57):
I'm a huge fan of my dad's America. He played
high school footboy quarterback and every Super Bowl he had
come home from work at twelve o'clock. Every every Monday
was a half day. Put it that way?
Speaker 2 (29:15):
Was that because of Monday? Was it Monday night football?
Speaker 9 (29:18):
Is that?
Speaker 5 (29:18):
Is?
Speaker 7 (29:18):
That?
Speaker 2 (29:18):
Is that what it was over there?
Speaker 8 (29:21):
No?
Speaker 7 (29:21):
No, No, in New Zealand?
Speaker 2 (29:23):
Oh gotcha, Now I'm with you. Now I'm with you. Right, Yeah, yeah,
you always came home.
Speaker 7 (29:26):
He always came home on a Monday at around twelve o'clock.
And yeah, it was half Monday.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
Love it, love it? And so have you? Have you
picked up the bug?
Speaker 7 (29:37):
Uh? Yes, it's it's it's like a it's like it's
like a tradition. Once you it's monkey see, Monkey do,
and then that's it just goes from there. Really and yeah,
I watch it every every time. And my yeah, I'm
like many New Zealanders. I'm actually a forty nine Ers
fan just because of the New Zealand player that played
for them, a guy I forget I figured his name.
(30:00):
It beats me, but he's well, he's on a few rings,
the Kiwi from Christy. I'm not sure if you know
his name.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
Uh yeah, I know who you're talking about, but I
can't remember his name. Just now, I'm sure and you'll
and you'll tell me who it is.
Speaker 7 (30:12):
Yeah, it's not quite in my head as well, but yeah,
so yeah, so that was the first Australian to ever
won a Super Bowl ring. So we've had many many
rings from.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
Ricky Ellison, Ricky Yep, that's the man.
Speaker 7 (30:27):
So yeah, Kiwi's a traditional forty nine ers fans since
the nineties, since the Jerry Rice days, and it is
it is the biggest for me. It has to be
one of the biggest days in sport because it goes,
it goes for four hours. You know, you make your
chicken wings or popcorn, or or you c Coca cola.
(30:47):
You know, you get to have a treat and just
sit there and watch it and yell and scream of
the TV. And it's America is very tribal.
Speaker 3 (30:53):
You know.
Speaker 7 (30:54):
People know some some people will never leave their estate
that it is born and raised in the estates. Some
people will will never leave their block. They us have
everything there. They have their house, their restaurant, their their business,
and then that's them and their team. Yeah, that's what
they do. You know, it's a working man's fun. They
What my old man uged to say was is that
he loves sport because he gets to have a good
break from reality and not think about reality and the
(31:17):
zone and on the sport and no worries in the world.
Speaker 2 (31:21):
Chris, that is the Yeah, Chris, that is exactly the
reason I love it so much, sport. That is as
you're right. I mean, we all know that it's not
really real life, but it is a heck of a
good escape from real life. Yep, good man, Chris, thanks
for calling in. I appreciate it very much. Regards to
your dad. Just on the food, these stats, I don't
(31:45):
know how they work these stats out, but here are
a couple of food facts about Super Bowl. Americans today
will have consumed one point two five billion chicken wings.
That's according to the National Chicken Council of the United States.
Who knew there was such a thing. Approximately forty eight
(32:05):
million Americans will order takeout or have food delivered on
game day. Sixty percent of those will be pizza. Americans
munch on thirty million pounds of snacks, and of those,
three point eight million pounds popcorn, eleven million pounds of
(32:25):
potato chips eaten on Super Bowl Sunday, four million pounds
of pretzels, two and a half million pounds of nuts.
Twelve million pounds of avocados will be purchased the week
leading up to the game to make all the guacamole.
Presumably fifty million, five oh fifty million cases of beer
(32:47):
are consumed on Super Bowl weekend. The overall beer tab
ten point eight billion US dollars, but not everybody drinks beer.
Two point three seven million spent on soft drink. And
just before we move Super Bowl halftime, commingeis speaking of numbers.
(33:09):
Do you know how much it costs to buy the
airtime for a thirty second Super Bowl ad? This year
it went up again eight million US dollars to buy
the space to buy a thirty second commercial. Now, the
national average annual salary in the US is thirty one
(33:30):
thousand dollars. That means that an entire year of work
for the average American would buy you less than point
two of a second of Super Bowl airtime. It's crazy
fifty one minutes of advertising sold. So the total amount
of ad sales are somewhere in the hundreds of millions.
Estimates are that in the next two or three years,
(33:51):
Super Bowl ad sales will reach a billion dollars. A
billion dollars in AD sales, and that's just to buy
the airtime. Then you have to produce an ad that
will stand out among all the others, and the budget
for that is whatever you want it to be. But
if you are after a captive audience, you've got it.
There's a survey recently that said of the viewers, sixty
(34:15):
percent of them tune in specifically for the commercials. They're
not really there for the game, they're there for the ads.
Only in America, the world's greatest consumers. Would you pop
out to go to the toilet while the game's on,
just to make sure you're back in time for the ads?
Sixteen away from eight well play some ads come back.

I think that's going to be going down in Philadelphia tonight.

I might join them. I'm not even a Philly fan. Yeah,
I did hear, even through the even through the glass.
I could see your ears prick up as that stat

A demolition in Super Bowl fifty nine.
Speaker 4 (02:34):
Let's look at a throw on first down. It's a
downfield Shute touchdown.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Dovtay Smith.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
There is your knockout toch killing Towns.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
The Philadelphia Eagles have been in the Kansas City Chiefs
forty twenty two to win their second Super Bowl. That
scoreline doesn't look like a blowout, but Philly led forty
points to six before a couple of late touchdowns for
Kansas City squeezed the winning margin up just a little.
Brit Let's bring an NFL writer covering the Philadelphia Eagles,
(03:07):
Chris Franklin, who stayed up like for us in Philadelphia
to have a chat. Thanks for doing so. Chris. First
of all, did you ever, in your wildest dreams expect
such a one sided game?
Speaker 4 (03:19):
I never thought that was going to happen. In fact,
I thought it was going to be one of those
games where it comes down to the fourth quarter and
you're holding your breath trying to see who's going to
win this game. I mean the way that they demolitions
put it nicely. The way that they controlled the line
of scrimmage, the way they put pressure and meet Patrick
Mahomes like somebody else. That was crazy and got to
(03:40):
give a lot of cuts to Nick Sirianni. But Vic
Vangrio with that defense, it's crazy how well they did.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
Were the Eagles really really good, were the Chiefs really
really bad? Or was it a combination of those two things.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
I think it was a both because I look at
it when I look at it, and we look at
that when you look at it received the Chief's receiving corps.
I mean, it showed up late with Xavier Warrior worthy
with those touchdowns, but when you look at it, something
just seemed off in terms of Travis See and Patrick
Mahomes in these in the last throughout the playoffs. It
wasn't until last week where you start to see him
emerge a little bit. Now you look at that the
(04:14):
Eagles secondary, and it's funny that we talk about this
defense because heading into the season, you would have thought
if the Eagles weren't able to get Super Bowl, that's
that defense was playing halfway average. And now you look like,
wait a minute, they were in the best defense in
the league. It's crazy, but I think, yeah, I think
there was some of the Chiefs deficiencies really showed themselves,
and Vic Vangel was able to exploit them.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
I do want to talk about the Eagles, but just
on Patrick Mahomes. Stop him and you go along whyle
They stopping the Chiefs obviously, but a game to forget
a couple of interceptions, including one that was returned for
a touchdown. He was strip sacked early in the fourth quarter.
How did the Eagles so efficiently limit the effectiveness of
Patrick Mahomes.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
It was It was discipline, That's That's what the biggest
thing was, because a lot of times when you see
your defensive lineman, your eyes light up big, like, oh
I can get to him, and you're thinking, like, okay
him through that reverse pivot and make these plays behind
the backs, what have you. I think what the Eagles did,
and they did very well, was they got the pressure
with the four people by themselves, and they were very
(05:17):
disciplined in their rushes, so they didn't let him get
out of the pocket too many times, so they snared
him in there. It almost like a vice that just
worked of all four guys getting into pressure on them,
and that was the biggest key on that one too,
and you put them in third and longs. I think
the Chiefs were like three of eleven or third downs
or what have you. It's rough. So yeah, it was good.
It was a good job for a good job by them.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
On the flip side, can you give us your astatement
of the performance of Eagles quarterback gilnd Hurts today.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
It was a redemption tour. I remember definitely. There were
times in the city, in the city of Philadelphia where
he was the he was vilified, and you look at
the time, like people say, oh, he can't pass the ball,
he can't throw the ball, what have you. And look
what he did when it came up time the big
in the biggest stage of them all, these last two games,
not only get the Chiefs in the Super but against
(06:07):
the Washington Commanders as well to an NSCRY Championship game.
He still tall and it's that calm cool. Is he
gonna put up three hundred yards all the time. No,
but he's going to get his completion percentage very high
enough so that way, you know, he gets stay away
from his making mistakes as possible. You continue to move
the ball down the field. It continually adds pressure on
two composing defenses, and we saw that they did. That's
the Chiefs and look where they are now.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
So Jalen Hurts aside Chris, who else really stood out
for you and stood up today?
Speaker 4 (06:33):
Cecily, I think when you look Josh Sweat, that the
ability for him to get that pressure off the edge,
I think it was like two and a half sacks
he had. It really set the tone. So Josh Sweat,
who's going to be a free agent after this coming
up this coming off season. He made a very good
case to a lot of teams, not only just the Eagles,
but to a lot of teams like, yeah, I think
(06:54):
it's not for me to get paid. He was another one.
And then you look at the I thought the corners,
the young rookie corners, Cooper dejen and Quinyon Mitchell, the
two of them playing on the brightest stage as rookies,
like they're really be immersed by the stage of it all,
and they were able to just play cool and calm, collected,
(07:14):
and we saw the genie even get that pick six.
So you look at those were those were guys, I said.
And finally I thought in Devonte Smith too to grow
up an hour away from the super Dome and the
next thing you know, you're there, You're catching touch down
at the bomb that effectively ended the game. It was good.
It was a good uh. It was a good performance
by all those guys.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
There was twenty four mili at half time, which looks
really comfortable. But then you think back to Super Bowl
fifty one and the Falcons blowing a twenty eighth free
lead to lose to the Patriots. Did you did you
feel comfortable that they would win it at halftime or
were you still quite interested to say what might happen
in the third quarter.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
I was still I'm just like, you know, let me
check because the last time I was at fifty seven
and I thought I saw Patrick Mahomes limping, Chase Daniels
was warming up, and I'm like, oh, this game's over.
So I started writing down like okay, Eagles got this,
and then all of a sudden it came a second
window that's at the loss, and that's like on overtime.
So yeah, I was going to say, you can never
you never ever ever take for granted about this thing
(08:12):
with Patrick Mahomes. But the Eagles did what they had
to do. They put continue to put pressure even those
field goals, you continue to put points on the board
and really pressure them be able to do that, and
that's and they were able to do that and really
make things difficult for Patrick Mahomes. And now they're looking
at try to start a new three pet somewhere something else.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Does this one heal the wounds of two years ago
of Super Bowl fifty seven.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
A bit?
Speaker 5 (08:35):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (08:36):
I think recently, Yeah, because now it does in a way.
But now you kind of go like, you know what,
they really should have had two in three years, because
that team should have beaten they should have beaten that,
they should have beaten the Chiefs in that previous one
fifty seven. But you take what you can get in time.
And you look at the way this team came back
from last year and they were ten to one and
you thought, okay, they're going to make the Super Bowl
(08:56):
gain and then they collapsed in epically and now that
they were pounce on the first round, but that might
have been the best thing for them. I was able
to get them refocused, they had to target, everybody came
in focus, what have you. And it was rough going.
I'm gonna lie, it was rough going early in this
season two and two at the bye weeknd, like a
lot of questions, they right at the ship and they
were able to get to what they were able to do.
And this is where we're at right now.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Well, they have a history I have bating perennial Super
Bowl winners that beat Tom Brady and the Patriots and
Super Bowl fifty two. What is it about the Eagles
when it comes to bating perennial super Bowl winners.
Speaker 4 (09:28):
I don't know. Maybe they relished a term of being
an underdog because you think even going back to eighty
when they were playing the Raiders and they beat the
Raiders beforehand, but the Raiders and they were Eagles were favorite,
and next thing you know, okay, they lost the game.
There's something about them being underdogs and they almost won.
They almost won thirty nine against the Patriots who went
on Brady. It's something they relish about being those underdogs
(09:50):
and they banded together and it seems to work out.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
So do you predicting, Chris that now having as you say,
I probably could have should have one, one, two and
three years, can I now start to you know, I
start to bat the chase a little bit and not
be the underdog anymore? Can I go on a bit
of a run?
Speaker 4 (10:09):
I think I think everybody will. They'll try it. I
can see them going like, you know, we're underdogs. Anybody's
just looking like you're a super Bowl champion, just hung
up a banner, you get in a ring, like you
can't be the underdogs? What's going on? But yeah, I
think it's one of the things for the going they'll
they'll keep that mentality and especially Yeah, a lot of
questions going into the off season now, several players such
as Josh I mentioned Josh Water earlier, Zach Bond, and
(10:32):
Milton Williams. Those three are from a free agent's right
guard McKay Beckton. He's become a free agent. So they're
going to do whatever they can in this little small
window that they have before they reach cap. The salary
cap comes and in them. But yeah, they'll think they'll
think their underdogs, but nobody, nobody in the leagues when
I ever think they're underdogs. Were coming from this one now.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
And in a wat of scenes, Chris Wait a Super
Bowl fifty nine rank among those you've seen.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
It was I think where I felt like we're looking
back at the eighties and nineties versus the Super Bowls
where there was much domination, where you saw the NFC
just paralily beat the AFC like you saw the John
Elway Broncos before he actually finally win one. When you
look at those Washington commanders with Mark Rippon, you look
at Phil Simms and taking them, you look at it
(11:21):
and you're like, it just felt like that type of game.
It was just pure domination. Was it going to go
down as one of the best, the best watched and
most exciting. No, but I think it will go down
as one of the most dominant ones. And that twenty
two full twenty two points by Chiefs cause because a
lot of that was in the garbage time and Eagles
were playing off coverage.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
Light in the evening. Now of cool some Philadelphia. But
will there be a potty young on for the not there?
Speaker 4 (11:44):
Oh, we started already. The fire fireworks are doing the city.
The city well New Orleans did it. They greased the
poles so everybody wouldn't climb up on the poles and
started the street lights and everything else. I will I
will safely bet that there even though there was a
mishap beforehand, and last the NMC Championship game where somebody
was fortunate passed away from climbing up a pole. I
(12:05):
will bet you that there were people that are still going, yeah,
why not and start throwing up there too. It's it's
party's going down probably till two three o'clock in the morning.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
Fantastic. And just to finish it, when you're talking about
the half time show, not sure how much of it
you watch, but how much is Kendrick Lamar's halftime show, Well, well,
it hasn't been received.
Speaker 4 (12:23):
It depends who you like. I see a lot of
people not liking it. I thought it was good, and
I said the little thing, especially when it came to
Drake and everybody was wondering is he going to see
the line and not like us, is he going to
say it? And then he had that little sly look.
So when we could see and they could turn TV
off and he started looking in and he said, I
was like, oh, okay, that was a that was pretty strong.
(12:44):
You so your conventions, that's very bold and it might
come up with a loss you later. That was very bold.
It was very very bold.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Chris. A wonderful day for fans of the Philadelphia Eagles.
Thanks so much for pinting the pictures for us. Hope
you get some sleate tonight with those fireworks going off.
Thanks for joining us across New Zealand.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
Thank you very much for having me on.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
It's been great to have you. Chris. Chris Franklin there,
NFL writer based in Philadelphia. After the Eagles win over
the Kansas City Chiefs forty twenty two earlier today in
New Orleans twenty past seven on the Dot, your Super
Bowl thoughts are welcome. Look, I'm not expecting you to
give us a deep dive into the tactics of the
game or where it was won or lost. That's what
(13:22):
it got chriss on for to give us some sort
of a broad idea of how the game won and lost.
But I'm more interested really on whether sper Bowl has
cut through here on one hundred and eighty ten eighty
Did you watch it today? In the United States, we
all know it's a national tradition. Super Bowl is by
(13:43):
far and away the biggest event on the American sporting calendar.
The NBA thinks it's big editors, Major League Baseball thinks
it's big editors, and hockey ice hockey NHL thinks it's big,
and it is, but it is nothing compared to Super Bowl.
Over half of the population of the United States tune
(14:07):
in to watch every year. Super Bowls make up nineteen
of the twenty most watched television broadcasts in United States history.
Nineteen of the top twenty were Super Bowls. So if
you're wondering what the other one was, it was the
series finale of mash back in nineteen eighty three. I
(14:31):
honestly don't think that there is an equivalent here in
New Zealand, certainly not an annual one. Yes, we watch
the All Blacks and big numbers and the All Blacks
in a Rugby World Cup final. Sure, twenty twenty three
Rugby World Cup Final one and a half million New
Zealanders tuned in to watch that. So if you extrapolate
(14:51):
that out, what's that about a third of us? Actually
less than a third, probably around sort of twenty seven
twenty eight percent of us watching the Rugby World Cup Final.
Over half of the population of the US tuning to
watch Super Bowl every year, So we did what another
(15:11):
at least another million of us tuning in and some
to match it. We know we're near it, So again,
what has it landed in your consciousness? Was it on
at work today? What about your kids? I've said a
few times on the show and on weekend Sport that
(15:34):
my seventeen year old son he won't watch an All
Blacks tests from start to finish, but he watches so
much NFL, so much He's got NFL pass which allows
him to watch his own team and any other team
and all of the you know, analysis shows and previews
and reviews and highlights and everything he wants. He watches
(15:55):
so much NFL compared to rugby. Is that what you're
seeing as well? Be interested to know. I eight hundred
and eighty ten eighty is our number nine two niney
two for text messages. Just a bit of an idea
of whether it was something that you know that has
all that well, or that has in the past jumped
(16:16):
into your into your consciousness, or is it really when
you look at it just like too hard to understand,
too confusing, too many stoppages. That's the thing I hear
the most. It's just too many stoppages. I get what
they're trying to do. I get that they're trying to
get the ball down that end. That's similar to rugby
in many ways, we can kind of get the idea
(16:36):
of what it's about. Want to get the ball down
the end there, don't have to press it down, you
have to run in there for a touchdown. But yeah,
is it something that that you know, perhaps is just
a little bit hard for you to understand and you've
never you haven't sort of grown we haven't grown up
with it. It's not deep in our DNA, is it.
So maybe it's a little bit hard to understand. But
(16:57):
we get events, we get big events. Lines open on
it eight hundred and eighty ten eighty nine two nine
to one, Text seven twenty four back with your calls after.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
This the right call is your goal on oh, eight
hundred and eighty ten eighty Sports Talk All on your
home of Sports News TALKSB.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Seven twenty seven on News Talks AB talking Super Bowl
and everything wrapped around it. If you text to get through.
New Zealand have just taken a third wicket in their
Tri Series match against South Africa, Michael Bracewell picking up
the wicket of Kyle Verien for just one. He has
been bold for one and South Africa in the twenty
(17:36):
seventh over one hundred and thirty two for three, a
wicket for O'Rourke earlier on timber Bevooma, the captain of
South Africa caught behind by Tom Latham off the bowling
of O'Rourke for twenty and Jason Smith run out for
forty one. So in the twenty seventh over, South Africa
are one hundred and thirty two for three. Now just
updating you on Ford Trophy as well. While were on
(17:57):
the subject of cricket, there were four Trophy matches today
in Fugoday, christ Church and Dunedin. In Fugoday, Northern Districts
all out two hundred and ten the Central Stags no
problem chasing that down two hundred and twelve for four
and they got there. Let me just check for you.
They got there in forty overs, last ball of the
(18:18):
fortieth overs, so with ten overs to spare, no problem
there for the Central Stags to win by six wickets.
Canterbury three hundred and twenty one for five batting first
against the Wellington Firebirds in christ Church, Wellington all out
for two hundred and forty two or went for Canterbury
by seventy nine runs. And in Dunedent the Otago vaults
(18:38):
two hundred and sixty eight, the Auckland Asers getting there
with a ball to spare two hundred and seventy one
for seven off the final ball of the In fact,
I think it was the fifth ball of the fiftieth
over so so just getting there. Leon emails and you
might have heard Leon yesterday afternoon giving us a brilliant
preview of Super Bowl fifty nine. This is our regular
(19:00):
correspondent from Melbourne. Leon obviously dissip pointed the Chiefs couldn't
make history, but well done to the Eagles, deserving winners.
Kansas City being unable to score in the first half
was their eventual downfall, but I'm confident they will be
back next year. NRL reject and star offensive alignsman aligneman
(19:21):
Jordan Malata picks up his first Lombardi Trophy for Philadelphia
after a huge year, so weld Doune for him. He's
actually a New Zealand citizen, so we'll take it. I'm
already counting down the day, says Leon, until the new season.
Can't wait. Ps. With the NFL season over now, Andy
and I can focus on the NBA. Go Pelicans. How
are the Pelicans going? Andy? Are they are they doing.
Speaker 6 (19:41):
Yeah, let's not talk about that.
Speaker 7 (19:42):
Piney thinks.
Speaker 6 (19:43):
Okay, okay, I think they've they have won twelve games
out of how many they've lost forty, that's all.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
It doesn't sound like a great ratio to me. But
haven't we meant to be talking NFL? Pinehing? Move on?
Move on?
Speaker 4 (19:59):
Now?
Speaker 2 (19:59):
How do I get brought into this all? Leon brought
you into it on text? My thirty three year old
son went to a Vikings game when he was twelve,
never looked back. Still loves the e're blacks, though, thank
you for your text. Halftime show. Have to be honest, Piney,
Dane rumble would have been better. Yeah, I got to say,
I'm talking about watching it at work here. When the
(20:25):
game was on, there were people sort of wandering pasts.
This is a TV over one side of our office,
and people were wandering past and having a look and saying, oh,
what's the score and what's happening, and taking I think
what you would describe as a passing interest in the game.
But at halftime that entire side of the office filled up,
mainly with younger people. I must say, to watch the
(20:46):
halftime show, to watch Rapper Kendrick Lamar in the halftime show,
and I think reviews of his performance have been mixed.
I am in no way an authority on that genre
of music, but there are I've done a bit of
(21:07):
reading online and some people say, hey, yeah, he was
he was terrific, really really good. Others are saying, ah,
it was a bit underwhelming. I'm not sure what you're
supposed to expect from a halftime show. I know over
there it's as much a tradition as the as the
halftime commercials, and we get to those in the moment.
But look, I watched it. I was more interested, I
(21:28):
think in the sport, but I saw him up there,
and it's clearly a multi million dollar production. Hell on earth,
they even get the stage up, it's a I mean,
normally for a concert, it takes a day or two
to get a stage up. For this, it's, you know,
all happened so so quickly. Halftime's elong gated. It's about
half an hour I think between when they run off
and when they run back on again. And you know,
(21:48):
there's obviously five minutes each side to get the stage
set up. The show itself about fifteen minutes, but it's
as much a tradition as the halftime commercials. Nick Siriani
is the coach, the head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles.
He was clearly the happier of the two coaches after
the game, and most people picked up on the fact
that Philadelphia's defense and even talking to Chris Franklin there
(22:12):
oh Man at a Philadelphia picked up on this that
the Philadelphia defense was what won them the game. So
what would Nick Siriani's thoughts on his team's defense.
Speaker 8 (22:22):
Yeah, if you look at you know, if you look
at we haven't We haven't traditionally blitzed a lot. This year,
we've been able to get home with our four man
rush and been able to cover there with the seven
in the back in the back end. You know, we
were able to get home that today with with it
as well. Again, we do what we think we need
(22:44):
to do to win, not what anybody else thinks we
got to do to win. And this was the way, uh,
you know, we felt like we needed to go about it.
That doesn't mean that there wasn't things that you have
in there that you blitz, but you know, just like
I would say, just like you know, I'm sure there
was some there were some times there that you know,
(23:05):
I'm thinking, hey, I go for this on fourth down
in this scenario. Well, the game flow told me to
do something different, Right, There's a feel to how things
transpire throughout a game. You don't just close your eyes
and say I'm gonna do this because this you know,
there's a flow to it. And it's the same thing
with calling a game offensively, defensively, game management wise, you
(23:26):
play the flow of the game. And with the way
it was working, you know, we kept we kept ripping it.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
Twenty four zero a hate at half time, which seems
a big lead and as it turned out, Walls and
an assyluable one. So what was the feeling in the
ego shit at half time?
Speaker 8 (23:40):
The things we talked about. We made sure everyone was
resting at first, but one of the main things we
talked about is be ready for anything, you know, be
ready for more, for different exotic things, things that make
them be able to try to get back into the game.
But one thing that we really focused on and studied
a bunch of you know, we got to protect the
way they get that they can get back into this
(24:02):
game is you know, us going three and out on offense,
having sacks, having penalties, turning the ball over, and for
explosive plays to happen on offense, on their offense, giving
up on our defense. And I just thought we did
a great job of, you know, handling that. We truly
were playing it like hey, this is the second game
at zero zero, and if we win this one, we're
(24:24):
gonna win this game. And the guys were focused, the
guys were locked in. It really was evident of the
entire week, the entire two weeks. I think when we
won the NFC Championship game in twenty twenty two, there
was so much joy, and I don't want to say
there wasn't joy. It was just like all right, this year,
it was like all right, let's go. We got to
go finish the job now. And I think it was
(24:46):
the same attitude at halftime of just locking in, focused
and let's go finish the job. And that's what we did.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
And finally from Nick Soriiani, the head coach of the
Philadelphia Eagles, how much has this quarterback Jalen Hurts growing
since the last Super Bowl two years ago, which the
Eagles lost to the Kansas City Chiefs.
Speaker 8 (25:08):
Yeah, he just keeps getting He just keeps getting better.
He knows how to win. He does a great job
of being able to block out all the outside noise.
I think it's you know, I find it funny when
it's like, you know, well, Jalen is good, but he's
got a good team around him. Like that's football, Like
a gain, you cannot be great without the greatness of others,
Like Jalen can't do it by himself. He needs a
(25:31):
j He needs that offensive line, He needs Saquon and
UH and vice versa. You know the reason Saquon has
a special year, you know, not only the offensive line,
but the attention that Jalen commit commands for the run game.
He's special. Jalen special. And you know, the criticism, it
(25:51):
just blows my mind because I think he I think
he's so special and won so many games and works
his butt off and UH just continues to get better,
can block out everything and and just focus on the
task at hand of getting better, putting yourself position and
to win each week. And he does a great job
of that. And he had an unbelievable game today when
(26:12):
we needed him too, because when you sell out to stop,
you know, we knew how good of a coach, and
how good of a defense that we were playing today
and it all but when you sell out to stop
one thing, another thing opens and Jalmen was able to
take advantage of that today. And man, he's him and
this team are world champs forever.
Speaker 7 (26:33):
That is.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
Nick Siriani, head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles. GA Poney
says this text from Mike Hell, yeah, I love the NFL.
My forty nine ers didn't make it, but yeah, the
Eagles get rid of the Rappers at halftime. They're all waste.
He's very good. Mike Will says it was on at work,
but I'm not that interested. Yes, I'll keep tabs on
the result, but I won't lose sleep over it if
(26:55):
I miss it. Think you will. I managed to watch
twenty minutes of coverage before tapping out because there were
only four minutes of game time. Yeah, I think as
I see before. That's the biggest criticism of NFL from
those who don't watch it religiously is the ball and
play time. Evening Jos says Nath the best halftime shadowed day,
(27:19):
ice Cube, Doctor Dre and Snoop Dogg. That was a
good one. Even I appreciated that Naith, thank you. In
the nineteen sixty nine moon landing, says Peter had around
one hundred and twenty five to one hundred and fifty
million viewers in the US when the population was not
much over two hundred million, So that beats the Super Bowl.
I checked on that, Peter, and it was never officially
(27:40):
recorded by Nielsen, who are the ones who gather this
data in terms of the number of people. It was
only it was only based on household viewership. They did
household viewership rather than actual viewership, which is obviously the
(28:00):
technology has improved in the time since, so and it
still it does say here in some of the reading
I've just done since you sent your text, that it's
generally accepted that the Apollo eleven moon landing in July
of nineteen sixty nine was the most watched. However, a
(28:22):
lot of different news networks had their own coverage, and
Super Bowl is typically just on the one channel, isn't
it CBS. I think so. CBS's coverage of Super Bowl
fifty eight last year holds the record for the largest
average viewership for any live network US television broadcast. But
(28:43):
I take your point on the moon landing if there
was any way of knowing for sure, I would say that, yes,
it probably is. Hi, Chris, Okay, NFL, you're a fan. Yeah,
I'm a huge.
Speaker 7 (28:57):
I'm a huge fan of my dad's America. He played
high school footboy quarterback and every Super Bowl he had
come home from work at twelve o'clock. Every every Monday
was a half day. Put it that way?
Speaker 2 (29:15):
Was that because of Monday? Was it Monday night football?
Speaker 9 (29:18):
Is that?
Speaker 5 (29:18):
Is?
Speaker 7 (29:18):
That?
Speaker 2 (29:18):
Is that what it was over there?
Speaker 8 (29:21):
No?
Speaker 7 (29:21):
No, No, in New Zealand?
Speaker 2 (29:23):
Oh gotcha, Now I'm with you. Now I'm with you. Right, Yeah, yeah,
you always came home.
Speaker 7 (29:26):
He always came home on a Monday at around twelve o'clock.
And yeah, it was half Monday.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
Love it, love it? And so have you? Have you
picked up the bug?
Speaker 7 (29:37):
Uh? Yes, it's it's it's like a it's like it's
like a tradition. Once you it's monkey see, Monkey do,
and then that's it just goes from there. Really and yeah,
I watch it every every time. And my yeah, I'm
like many New Zealanders. I'm actually a forty nine Ers
fan just because of the New Zealand player that played
for them, a guy I forget I figured his name.
(30:00):
It beats me, but he's well, he's on a few rings,
the Kiwi from Christy. I'm not sure if you know
his name.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
Uh yeah, I know who you're talking about, but I
can't remember his name. Just now, I'm sure and you'll
and you'll tell me who it is.
Speaker 7 (30:12):
Yeah, it's not quite in my head as well, but yeah,
so yeah, so that was the first Australian to ever
won a Super Bowl ring. So we've had many many
rings from.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
Ricky Ellison, Ricky Yep, that's the man.
Speaker 7 (30:27):
So yeah, Kiwi's a traditional forty nine ers fans since
the nineties, since the Jerry Rice days, and it is
it is the biggest for me. It has to be
one of the biggest days in sport because it goes,
it goes for four hours. You know, you make your
chicken wings or popcorn, or or you c Coca cola.
(30:47):
You know, you get to have a treat and just
sit there and watch it and yell and scream of
the TV. And it's America is very tribal.
Speaker 3 (30:53):
You know.
Speaker 7 (30:54):
People know some some people will never leave their estate
that it is born and raised in the estates. Some
people will will never leave their block. They us have
everything there. They have their house, their restaurant, their their business,
and then that's them and their team. Yeah, that's what
they do. You know, it's a working man's fun. They
What my old man uged to say was is that
he loves sport because he gets to have a good
break from reality and not think about reality and the
(31:17):
zone and on the sport and no worries in the world.
Speaker 2 (31:21):
Chris, that is the Yeah, Chris, that is exactly the
reason I love it so much, sport. That is as
you're right. I mean, we all know that it's not
really real life, but it is a heck of a
good escape from real life. Yep, good man, Chris, thanks
for calling in. I appreciate it very much. Regards to
your dad. Just on the food, these stats, I don't
(31:45):
know how they work these stats out, but here are
a couple of food facts about Super Bowl. Americans today
will have consumed one point two five billion chicken wings.
That's according to the National Chicken Council of the United States.
Who knew there was such a thing. Approximately forty eight
(32:05):
million Americans will order takeout or have food delivered on
game day. Sixty percent of those will be pizza. Americans
munch on thirty million pounds of snacks, and of those,
three point eight million pounds popcorn, eleven million pounds of
(32:25):
potato chips eaten on Super Bowl Sunday, four million pounds
of pretzels, two and a half million pounds of nuts.
Twelve million pounds of avocados will be purchased the week
leading up to the game to make all the guacamole.
Presumably fifty million, five oh fifty million cases of beer
(32:47):
are consumed on Super Bowl weekend. The overall beer tab
ten point eight billion US dollars, but not everybody drinks beer.
Two point three seven million spent on soft drink. And
just before we move Super Bowl halftime, commingeis speaking of numbers.
(33:09):
Do you know how much it costs to buy the
airtime for a thirty second Super Bowl ad? This year
it went up again eight million US dollars to buy
the space to buy a thirty second commercial. Now, the
national average annual salary in the US is thirty one
(33:30):
thousand dollars. That means that an entire year of work
for the average American would buy you less than point
two of a second of Super Bowl airtime. It's crazy
fifty one minutes of advertising sold. So the total amount
of ad sales are somewhere in the hundreds of millions.
Estimates are that in the next two or three years,
(33:51):
Super Bowl ad sales will reach a billion dollars. A
billion dollars in AD sales, and that's just to buy
the airtime. Then you have to produce an ad that
will stand out among all the others, and the budget
for that is whatever you want it to be. But
if you are after a captive audience, you've got it.
There's a survey recently that said of the viewers, sixty
(34:15):
percent of them tune in specifically for the commercials. They're
not really there for the game, they're there for the ads.
Only in America, the world's greatest consumers. Would you pop
out to go to the toilet while the game's on,
just to make sure you're back in time for the ads?
Sixteen away from eight well play some ads come back.
