Speaker 1 (00:04):
All right, all right, Yeah, toment Toyo Life from Philly.
It's the number one rated Polly and Tony four Stone
Showy as always, Paully Foolsco here with Tony Foolsco and
Tony Huge Show today. You know, we're gonna break down
the whole Eagles Chief super Bowl matchup and tell you
(00:24):
why the Eagles have the upper hand as long as
the refs don't cheat, you know, exactly.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
And we're going to discuss the many.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
Controversies are swirling around the whole NFL right now, you know,
about everything from the Cowboys to Tom Brady to also, yeah,
the refs and how they're clearly cheating exactly. And to
discuss this subject, we're bringing on a kind of frequent
guest of the Showy meaning he frequently gets kicked off
Fox Sports rules analyst and former vice president of NFL Officiating,
(00:53):
Dean Blandino, and Tony there just came through breaking moves
about him that could under mind the integrity of the
whole league.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
And also this interview.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
Yeah, and as we know, the most important thing in
this world is integrity. Get into the bottom of the truth,
and that's what people know. They get on this show absolutely,
and that's what we're gonna bring you.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Fine anyway, there's so much to get tough, toty, so
let's just get right into a top story story.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
All right, Well, the Super Bowl matchup is set Eagles
Chiefs again.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
And you know, if there's one stat out there that
tells you everything about how this game is going to go,
you know.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
What it is. It's point.
Speaker 4 (01:35):
You know.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
The Eagles they outscored their opponents by two hundred and ten.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
Points in regular season.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
In the playoffs, you got, the Chiefs have only outscored
their opponents by a measly seventy nine points.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
As Tommy, you had a great point the other day.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
Tell the people, you know, I think it's time the
NFL followed the PGA Tour and the terrific FedEx Cup
scoring system. When it comes time for the FedEx Cup Championship,
they don't just start to score zero zero for everybody. No, No,
they look at the point differential and the very easy
to follow FedEx Cup standings, and whoever has the most
(02:12):
points starts with a ten stroke lead. So since the
Eagles have a point differential of plus two hundred and
ten while the Chiefs only have a plus seventy nine.
I think it makes perfect sense for the Eagles to
start the Super Bowl with a thirty point lead or
else you're basically saying the rest of the season doesn't matter.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Can't argue with that at all, Dony.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
And on the subject of stats, you know, we saw
a stat the other day Jalen Hurts has now gone
two hundred and six passive demps in the postseason without
an interception, which has to be an all time record.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
It is, But as you heard.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
That number, Tony, didn't we think that seems a little
low to you, doesn't it.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
I looked it up and apparently they're only counting passes
in the air stup.
Speaker 5 (02:58):
But what about his passes to the run?
Speaker 3 (03:00):
You know, some people call them handoffs, but technically those
are passes too. Like when you're at Thanksgiving dinner and
someone says, please pass me the potatoes.
Speaker 5 (03:12):
Do you throw the potatoes at them?
Speaker 2 (03:14):
No?
Speaker 3 (03:15):
No, of course not. You hand them off, But that's
still called passing. So by my recalculated numbers, Jalen Hurts
has actually had one thousand, two hundred and fifty six
pass attempts without an interception.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Wow, just all time numbers.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
That Tony, and you know, by the way, you know,
we had to take blow up as they always do.
But this week, especially when that was just huge, super viral,
we pointed out that the Bills made a fatal and
avoidable mistake. You know, as we all know the cardinal
rule you never trust a guy with two first names. Well,
Josh Allen two first names clearly can't be trusted. But Tony,
(03:56):
you know, this made us realize something, didn't it.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
You know, it's suddenly clear why our kicker is missing
so many kicks. His name is Jake Elliot two first names.
But as usual, don't worry. We have a very simple solution.
All that has to happen is Jake Elliott changes his
name to.
Speaker 5 (04:18):
Jake Elliot Ski.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
There problem solved, just an easy, smart solution that Dony.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Well, now let's go to the other side of this matchup.
You know, obviously we don't want to help the Chiefs win. No,
you know, just like the rest are going to dope. Course,
we have to ask something. Why is it the backup
QB corson Wentz starting in the Super Bowl. Nobody knows
the Eagles better than him, as he played on the team.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Yeah, I mean, and.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Dony, what is the number one advantage you can have
in any sport.
Speaker 5 (04:52):
With your opponent? Exactly?
Speaker 3 (04:55):
Nobody on the Chiefs has nearly as much familiarity with
the Eagles as Costson Wentz. I mean, look at how
well Andy Reid coached against the Eagles. That's not really
talent or strategy. That's just familiarity, plain and simple.
Speaker 4 (05:09):
You know.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
Frankly, as I say this, I'm now becoming kind of
worried that the Chiefs might start Cosson Wentz fingers crossed.
Speaker 5 (05:17):
That they don't.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
I'm getting a little worried. Dope, don't you know? We
may need to edit that out. Just remember to edit
that out.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Okay, when the show's over all, right, edit a Let's
just get to other than those, Tony. You know there's
uproar over many alternates being named to the Pro Bowl.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
Now, JJ Watt.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
He came out and he said, you know, if your
five alternates deep into the Pro Bowl, then it should
be called the participation Ball.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
And you know, Tony, He's totally right here, isn't it.
You know?
Speaker 3 (05:46):
I remember when the Pro Bowl used to mean something.
It was so much better when the game featured all
the big names who clearly didn't want to be there.
You could see the fire and rage from the players
who are just check their contract and realized they were
legally obligated to play in that game. And I remember
the tension on the sidelines as all these storied NFL
(06:10):
legends would yell at their agents and beg them to
get them the fuck out of there. Sadly, it just
isn't the same now.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Just such a sad turn of events, Dony.
Speaker 6 (06:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Well, let's move to other news around the league this one, Dony.
You know you see that Bill Belichick making headlines when
he came out and said the Lombardi Trophy should be
renamed in honor of Tom Brady.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Wow, that is just a terrible idea, isn't it.
Speaker 7 (06:37):
Donny?
Speaker 3 (06:37):
Totally the trophy should clearly be named after one person,
Nick Foles, not only because he beat Tom Brady in
the Super Bowl, but also the trophy's twenty two inches long,
So you know, say no.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
More, Dony, Yeah, righty, aloud and clear. They've got perfect argument. Asyway,
let's move to the Cowboys. You know they're taking fire
as usual this for going in house for their next
head coach, tapping their offensive coordinator, Brian Schottenheimer for the job,
not Tony. You know, we've always said that the Cowboys
should not be called America's team, but it looks like
(07:13):
we might actually have to take that back, don't it.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
Yeah, I have to say the Cowboys are truly America's
team when you think about it. They switch administrations every
four years. They're led by a rich old guy. They've
also spent the last four years going in the wrong direction,
and the cost of their players has gone up due
to run away inflation, so now they can't afford jack squad.
(07:38):
So that sounds a lot like America to me.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Great football and also governmental analysis that Tony, and well,
you know, to other of those. The Jaguars new head
coach Liam Cohen, he had this very awkward introductory press conference,
and now I have people that come in out there
saying there's a bad sign for the team, Tony, and
you know, I have to agree, because you know what
we know is every time you got a new coach,
(08:03):
the most important thing is that that guy looks so.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
Smooth and totally.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
On point in his opening press conference, and nobody did
that better. As you remember the Nick Siriadi in absolutely
go play that clip, play this, watch this.
Speaker 4 (08:18):
The other thing that's important to me is that we
compete every single day. It's important to practice competing, right,
It's important to practice competing in the meeting room. It's
important that we meet or compete in the on the
field and also off the field. We're constantly going to
be competing with each other.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Wow, wow, even even better than I remember.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
No words, just goosebumps, you know, just so smooth. Everything
he said was so on point. You need to meet
and compete. And now look the Eagles are meeting and
competing in the Super Bowl.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
That they He laid out the whole blueprint right there, Dony,
just so perfect, beautiful. But something that I guess isn't
going so perfect, is it, Dony. It's an NBA story
we must address. You know, Bronni James, Lebron James's son
had another dismal performance the other night against the Sixers.
You know, as many people saying that his father, Lebron
(09:16):
needs to end this charade once and for all. And well, Dony,
you have a solution here, don't you.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
I do?
Speaker 3 (09:24):
Right now, I think there is only one thing Lebron
can do to get himself out of this whole mess
with Bronny. What he needs to do is go on
the Maury Povid Show, do one of those DNA tests,
and then just hope for the best. I mean, you know,
it really doesn't make sense that Lebron's own son would
be so terrible at basketball. So there's a very plausible
(09:46):
chance that he takes that test and then Morey comes
out and says, Lebron, you are not the father, and well,
Lebron and the Lakers would then be off.
Speaker 5 (09:54):
The hook problem solved.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Just such a brilliant solution for all bodies involved at
Tony and Well. On the subject of solutions, hopefully we
have a fix for what's going about to happen to
the Super Bowl with the whole shenanigans with the refs.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
I see, I guess he's coming on the line.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
So let's bring him on the full SCO Satellite network
FUS satellite the world.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Okay, this guy's back.
Speaker 4 (10:18):
You know.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
He was the NFL's vice president of officiating twenty thirteen
to twenty seventeen, and you see him all the time
on Fox Sports as their rules analyst. But this is
what's most concerning, actually Tony. On his Wikipedia it says,
and I quote, at some point around two thousand and five,
he did stand up comedy in several comedy clubs around
(10:39):
New York City. Wow, you know we have the problem
on the show. People come on the show and they
start acting like they're at the laugh Hut. So Dean,
just know we're here for some serious conversation. Okay, you understand.
Speaker 7 (10:49):
Yeah, this is not my comedy days are over. This
is serious. You guys are serious. I'm serious. Let's let's
keep it. Let's keep it sophisticated.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Thank you, thank you? All right, I know you know
what that means.
Speaker 7 (11:02):
I just want to know you're kidding me.
Speaker 6 (11:04):
Was that?
Speaker 3 (11:05):
Was that something from the laugh Factory? From Caroline's in
New York?
Speaker 7 (11:08):
All right, that's the last one.
Speaker 5 (11:10):
Okay, that's it, no more.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
That's why it's that's why it's been since two thousand
and five people, Okay, twenty years.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
He still hasn't been able to workshop any better material.
Speaker 5 (11:18):
All right.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
Anyway, now that we got all that out of the way, Look,
we have many concerns about the current state of refereeing,
as everybody does. That we want to discuss with you now.
First off, you just made headlines for saying that the
refs made a mistake in the Bills game. Right, They
said the Bills were not given a first down that
they should have been against the Chiefs. So that leads
to a dupac question. One, why did the refs make
(11:40):
this mistake?
Speaker 2 (11:41):
And two?
Speaker 1 (11:41):
How much do you think Patrick Mahomes paid the refs
to make that call? Like a ballpark figure?
Speaker 2 (11:46):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (11:46):
Okay, Well I'll answer the second question first. I don't
know what the amount was. I don't I don't think
there was any money exchanged, although that seems to be
the popular opinion out there. I thought it was the
first spoken when I watched it live, I thought it
was a first down. But but you know, it's one
of those deals where it's close. One official came in
(12:08):
had it at the line of the game, the other
one was short. The one that had at the line
of game deferred to the one that was hold on.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
We have to interrupt here because there's actual breaking news
involving you. Mike Florio just posted on the headline on
Pro Football Talk which said that your book your brother
believes the NFL is rigged, and that he says you
signed an NDA the NFL to keep it all a secret.
So how do we know this isn't just all NDA stuff? Yeah,
(12:37):
you're lion.
Speaker 7 (12:39):
He thinks I signed an NDA and that I can't
divulge all of the shady things that happened when I
was at the NFL, and I'm here to say that that. Listen,
if the NFL is rigged or scripted, I was never
invited in the in the room, I wasn't writer.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
You know, maybe you just had to work harder up
the flag bole.
Speaker 5 (13:00):
Then hold on, follow up.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
You know, we totally know one hundred percent what NDA
stands for, but I am audience might not know, you know,
can you tell them what NDA stands for?
Speaker 7 (13:11):
It's a non disclosure agreement, Okay, when you do that,
when you leave a company or you leave an organization,
you sign that and you can't talk about things that happened.
Maybe it's maybe it's it's it's intellectual property. Maybe it's
things that you developed when you were there. That's more
or less what an NDA For the audience.
Speaker 5 (13:29):
I know you guys, yeah, yeah, we know. Okay, Okay,
the audience.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
So you're saying you did not sign an NDA. Is
that that's.
Speaker 7 (13:36):
What you're saying, wow, I did not correct.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
Okay, okay, So then go ahead and answer that answer
this question. Is there a payment scale in how it
works with the refs? Like, you know, is it like
ten K for a first down call? Then maybe like
fifty K for like defensive pass interference?
Speaker 2 (13:51):
How does it work?
Speaker 7 (13:52):
They get paid by game, not by call, and they
get paid regardless.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
As far as the bride goes said the Chiefs, how
much as they probably don't know.
Speaker 7 (14:02):
I don't know about the bribes. I can't speak to that. Hey,
the Eagles, you guys are big Eagles guys, right when.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
They won the Super very Pertive.
Speaker 7 (14:11):
Back in twenty seventeen, you know, they beat Tom Brady,
the goat, the whole thing, you know, Nick Foles. Was
it the refs or was it the Eagles?
Speaker 1 (14:19):
No, it was the Eagles were talking about, brother, the
Eagles were so good, they were so they all the bribery, yeah,
god yeah.
Speaker 7 (14:28):
But when the Eagles lost to the chief slast.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
Bride was a clear briber bribery, got it? Yeah, your brother,
he sounds like.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
He's got more of a head on than your Yeah,
I mean you should have this to him on the show.
Speaker 5 (14:41):
We should have you.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
What's your brother's name, Albert Einstein.
Speaker 7 (14:45):
Dave, Dave Blend.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
You know, we gotta have Dave know us what he believes, like,
tell us what he believes about it.
Speaker 7 (14:50):
He believes. He believes that the NFL is scripted and
it's rigged to set up the best pop pop possible outcomes.
He thinks the the odds makers in Vegas, they're all
everybody's in bed together, everybody's you know, they're making billions
of dollars.
Speaker 8 (15:06):
On gambling, and the NFL is in on it. You
know when I say, listen, if you think the NFL
is rigged, and you think it's favoring the Chiefs, why
don't you just go bet on the Chiefs. I know
you guys aren't going to do it for the Super Bowl,
but if you want to make some.
Speaker 7 (15:20):
Money, why aren't you betting on the Chiefs?
Speaker 1 (15:22):
Honestly, I can't bet right now because I'm saving just
in case we need to bribe the refs last year
exactly and all that stuff. But you know another thing
that's very weird here. First of all, you know you're
coming out, you're talking about how the NFL screwed up?
Are you afraid that they're going to come at you,
like have you woken up with you know, like a
(15:42):
seven horse's head in your bed or making.
Speaker 7 (15:45):
I was a little worried. I don't own a horse,
but I own a bearded dragon, and I was a
little worried. Here we go back to about my son's
bearded dragon. But he's okay, he's okay, Tony.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
I think he's work shopping material now. I think that's
what you're right.
Speaker 7 (16:02):
I can show you. I could go in the other
room and get him.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
That's okay.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
Please, No, we believe he's materials working. He became a
prop comic, That's what's going on here.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
Yeah, car exactly.
Speaker 7 (16:11):
He's like Alcolm Mike was one of my Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
We can tell clearly. Yeah, yeah, yeah exactly.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
You remind me of Gallon Kurt Dead not getting any
laughs anymore, bro.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
You know.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
And another thing that was so strange in that Eagles game,
although it was perfect in many ways, you know, the
refs they handed out points, and you know, we thought,
this is actually an interesting situation that the refs could
hand out points at any time.
Speaker 7 (16:35):
They could they didn't, but but by rule you could
in a situation where a team intentionally fouls to prevent
the score.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
But what about you know, when you were in the league,
like you know during the Broncos Seahawks Super Bowl, weren't
you tempted? Why don't you just give the Broncos like
twenty one points in the third quarter, you know, just
to keep it interesting for everybody.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
Yeah, I think that was a miss. Bil.
Speaker 7 (16:57):
I wish I would have thought of that. I wish
I would to make the game closer. Right, so it's blowout.
And that's what I think if if the NFL is
scripted and rigged, why isn't every Super Bowl going overtime?
Why isn't every game.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Just script writing?
Speaker 4 (17:11):
You know?
Speaker 1 (17:11):
Yeah, and there's some bad shows on TV, like you
see the last the last Game of Throne season was horrible.
Speaker 7 (17:17):
Yeah, not every show can be Game of Thrones. You're right,
that's a good point.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
And then the last season of Perfect Strangers it just
went off the cliff.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
So you know that shows you Yeah, the first.
Speaker 7 (17:27):
Yes, the Bronson Pin Show, you're right, absolutely right.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
Look, so let's get to the most important thing going
on here.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
You know, here we are another Eagles chief super Bowl, right,
remember last time the Super Bowl?
Speaker 2 (17:39):
How watery. That field was totally overwatered. So the players
going slip slider.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
Are you concerned that the field might get overwatered again
this year?
Speaker 7 (17:49):
I hope not indoors, so I don't. I don't know.
I don't.
Speaker 5 (17:55):
The game of Orleans, New Orleans, Bro, it rains all
the time.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
What about the.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
These break break all the time that that ground?
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Is this going to be flooded? You got to think
about these things?
Speaker 7 (18:08):
Yeah, I guess again again, you guys are ahead. I
think the league needs to consider that and make sure
that if the levees break, that the water doesn't affect
the playing surface of the super.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
There you go, see, to be prepared because now especially
it's called the Gulf of America.
Speaker 5 (18:24):
Bro, it's even stronger than ever before. Those levees don't
stand a chance.
Speaker 7 (18:28):
No, absolutely not not not the Gulf of America.
Speaker 5 (18:31):
No way, exactly.
Speaker 3 (18:32):
Bro.
Speaker 5 (18:33):
Finally said something.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
Right, See now you're coming in the right the rest,
So you're coming around. This is why people need people
like you. It's people we can trust. People with integrity minds,
tell us, tell us what the truth is, despite whatever
was in their nda that they did or did not sign. No,
that's what I want you to do because the integrity
of the NFL is on the line. Look into the camera, Dan,
(18:55):
people are worried out there. Tell the people that this
Eagles Chief super Bowl won't be totally rigged like the
last one.
Speaker 7 (19:02):
Just go ahead, this this super Bowl will not be rigged.
And and and that has been the case for every
super Bowl. No, and so I can't say that.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
You want me to know, You've got to say specifically,
like the last Chiefs Eagle super Bowl.
Speaker 7 (19:18):
Was, Yes, like the last Chiefs Eagle super Bowl, this
one will not be rigged. You know, I'm just I
feel very strongly.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
So you are admitting that the last Eagles Chief super Bowl.
Speaker 3 (19:32):
Admitting now this one, guess I'm gonna admit you're gonna.
Speaker 5 (19:40):
Because guess what you means?
Speaker 2 (19:47):
No, Dean again, we'll see you later.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
By it's along the line, Jay, hang up the fire.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
Obviously we should have had his brother on this ship.
Speaker 5 (19:59):
That's who we should have.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
It is just as stupid as a producer of that. Anyway,
let's not let double Ruin, which was a terrific show.
Of course, we remind you rate and where the hell
are you?
Speaker 6 (20:12):
Where are you in Germany?
Speaker 1 (20:14):
Did you get arrested for like crimes against humanity, yes,
and crimes against shows.
Speaker 5 (20:19):
Did they depoyt you?
Speaker 6 (20:20):
No?
Speaker 1 (20:21):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (20:21):
Too bad?
Speaker 6 (20:22):
The conference?
Speaker 1 (20:23):
Oh that's I guess this is what all the virgins get,
the Virgin Germany exactly what are you corrections?
Speaker 2 (20:28):
Is that what you're gonna do? Why?
Speaker 5 (20:30):
Yes, yes, just go.
Speaker 6 (20:33):
Look, you said many things wrong about Jalen Hurts, but
the first thing, his two hundred and six pass attempts
without an interception in the postseason are not nearly a record.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
Yeah they are, hater No.
Speaker 6 (20:47):
Aaron Rodgers had four hundred and one attempts without an interception.
That's the record.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
Oh yeah, well you hold the record for biggest douche.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
Yeah, four hundred and one is also the number of
Saturday nights you spend the loan.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
There you go. Yeah, start talking a lot.
Speaker 6 (21:07):
