music is, well, don't worry, you're gonna hear it in
the moment. You see. This is a very special episode,
and what makes it special is that you get to
hear some legendary content and well we barely have to
lift a fingers, so it's great for both of us. Y. Anyway,
(00:20):
as you remember, in twenty twenty three, after the Chiefs
Eagles super fraud, we did a series of investigative episodes.
Didn't we Tony into the vast cover up perpetrated in
that game? And did we win a bulletzer on that
I can't remember.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Between that and now this Sports Podcast award that we
won for Best Comedy for the second year in a row.
It's hard to keep track. Yeah, it's hard to keep track,
you know.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
Anyway, all right, so we launched this full investigation and
through all the mouth feastings that day, specifically how the
field was so slippery that nobody could play on it
just made the horrible, the whole thing impossible, The whole outcome,
no and void should have been avoided. Well with the
rematch about to take place. We thought we'd replay for
you just that incredible bullets a probably winning episode. Can't
(01:08):
remember just one thing to note? Our video looks like
total crap because our idiot producer bought the crappiest cameras possible.
Great job by you.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
Yeah, good job by you, camera and you said it
was out of your price range.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
Oh well, good news. You're in range of my rifle.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
And if he misses, I'm gonna run you over with
my range rover.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
Oh now, shut up, shut up, and just quiet play.
That's all you gotta do. Said of all this talking,
all right, so here you go enjoy this terrific episode.
Then here you go is your precious theme music. Let's
hear it right, Yo yo life from Philly. It's the
(01:53):
number one rated poll. You Tony food job Yo yo
yo foos with Tony Fusco and Tony Huge show today.
You know, last week we sat here and boldly said,
didn't we, Tony, We said, don't fall for the media
cover up. Super Bowl fifty seven is far from over.
(02:16):
I'll go grabb in THEAFS. We just win and reside.
The truth is going to come out about what really happened,
and sure enough, Tony, now here we are. Yeah. You
see all these other major media outlets starting to follow
your lead here as they tend to go. No ways. Yeah,
and a huge story just came out of ESPN revealing
new details which further throw the outcome of the Super
(02:38):
Bowl in the question.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Yep, wipe the slate clean. We're only in the first
quarter here.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Yes, soon they'll be the congressional hearing, the lawsuits. You'll see,
it's all coming to people anyway. Yeah, don't worry. We're
also going to get into the breaking news out of
the NBA Lebron James injured or so he says. You know,
we're going to expose that story exactly. But first, right now,
we continue our special investigative coverage of Super Bowl fifty
(03:07):
seven in this FUSCO special report, payple. Just when you
thought the result of the Super Bowl couldn't get any
more suspicious, now a brave whistleblower is speaking up the
most trusted authority of Super Bowl integrity. Of course, I'm
(03:28):
talking about a name we all know, legendary groundskeeper George Toma,
who Superstowl shield as you all know, for every single
Super Bowl known to us all as the sodfather. He
has bobly come out and said the field for Super
Bowl fifty seven was quote over water. I know, we
all know we're looking at the field. We all know
(03:50):
Wede the field too slippery to play on, and he
said it wasn't standed properly. A clear day of gardening
male practice. Now, this story is sending waves through the
league and also the entire landscaping community, and that's why
today we are doing special coverage of this scandal. You
thought Watergate was big. This is Overwatergate, over Watergate, the
(04:15):
Super Bowl cover up. Now, before we get into the
details here, we do want to tell you we did
reach out and invite Commissioner Goodell on the show. No
resident respond yeah, exactly. And we did reach out to
several people in the league in league offices today, do
Chicken to come on? One person did say yes, probably
(04:36):
because he wants exposure or something. Yeah, we didn't want
to have him on the show again because he was
terrible last time. But he was at Super Bowl fifty seven,
so he might he might have some insight and he
would have some insight as to what happened there. Unlike
our guess last week, Eric Iger chiefs Homer Nerd, Yeah
Nerd anyway, his name's Rash mccazi. And he actually took
(05:00):
a photo of the field for the Super Bowl days
before they played. Well, what happened to that photo? Suddenly
is deleted. It's nowhere to be found. So let you just
find out what he's trying to hide there. But first
let's dig deeper into this troubling story. You know, in
case you haven't been following it as closely as we have,
which you should be. A war of words has broken
(05:21):
out between George Thoma and his underling NFL field director
Ed Mangan. Now, according to ESPN, Thoma claimed that Mangan
quote didn't do shit when it came to standing the
field prior to the game. Yeah, Thoma said about mangan
and how he handled the grass. Quote, he waters the
(05:42):
hell out of it and puts it right into the
stadium and that's it never sees sunlight again. He can't
do that. Incredible. And then Thoma also alleged that the
field had a rotten smell.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Yeah, something definitely smells rotten, all right.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Yeah, Thomas said, quote, he sanded it two weeks too late.
He had only one sanding. He should have had two
or three standings at least, but he didn't do and
that was it. Wow. And not only that he didn't
take care of it, he wouldn't listen to anybody, Tony,
your reaction.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
What was the first thing I said? When we were
watching the game? They didn't stand the field exactly.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
I could tell right away.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Anybody who knows anything knows you have to stand the
field several times. And you could tell when the Eagles
started slipping all over the place and then Jalen Hurts
fumbled that was the result of the field being not
properly sanded. As they say in the world of groundskeeping,
if the grass is too wet, then you must forfed.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
So well. But Tony, and you know, there had been
extensive coverage of this Super Bowl grass in the days
leading up to the game. You know ESPN this is true.
They actually had a whole article on it, which at
the time seemed like a terrible content strategy, but now
it actually bullets are worthy. You know exactly what it
says in this article is that the grass for the
(07:13):
Super Bowl is typically grown in Alabama, Georgia, California, where
you know grass grows. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, for some bad reason,
they decided to grow it in Phoenix. Makes no sense.
The hell tries to grow grass in a desert. I'll
tell you who that clown Ed Mangan yep. But it
doesn't even stop that dony because this grass for the
(07:37):
Super Bowl. This wasn't like your typical grass you find out,
you know, in home depot or whatever. The grass was
actually developed in some kind of scientific laboratory. This is
trope people. Wow, a guy named Yankee Wu and he's
apparently a professor at Oklahoma State University. Don't tell me
(07:59):
which can have team is closest to Oklahoma State University.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
I know who that would be, that Kansas City Chiefs. Yeah,
you know this has collusion written all over it. The
Chiefs knew the Eagles were a run first team and
that a slippery field would give them a huge advantage.
If there's anything that's slippery, it's the Chiefs who clearly
worked with Yankee Wu and Ed Mangan and the team
(08:27):
of laboratory grass scientists to undermine the Eagles.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
Absolutely reeks of corruption. And you know this brings us
back to the petition we launched last week on this
show to tell the NFL to declare no winner for
Super Bowl fifty seven, and the petition has been online
at change dot org. So let's check in right now, Jay,
how many hundreds of thousands of signatures are we up to? Now?
Speaker 3 (08:53):
You only have one hundred and ninety seven signatures total.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
That's not even possible.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
I had over two thousand text messages from our fans saying, yo,
just sign.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Clearly can't read numbers or you know what that is.
That's the algorithm hiding the truth. It hides the Do
it makes sense? Don't let that do that to you?
Or do they cover it off? There? You go to
stand up for what's right and go to change dot org.
Now you can click sign the petition, keep signing this podcast.
Don't worry about the algorithm. Let's get this fixed anyway.
Let's just move on to you know, a big story
(09:25):
out of the NBA. I guess Lebron James injured out
for at least a few weeks with a foot injury. Now,
there are so many strange parts to this story. Dote,
don'ty you know? It was broke. The ESPN headline read
and I quote sauces Lebron James feared out several weeks
(09:46):
with foot injury. Feared interest word choice than Donty who
feared this injury, because I certainly the hell didn't.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
Yeah, If anything, I feared Lebron continuing to play so
I wouldn't have to hear about him all the time.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
Same it, Tony. And you know what's so interesting here.
You know, Lebron he's playing just fine, having a good season,
and everything's good. Yeah, suddenly you know he's chasing the playoffs.
Then suddenly Kevin Durant joins the Suns. Lebron's realized he
had no shot at the title, and then suddenly he's like,
oh oh I can't play. Yeah, oh my foot pop.
(10:26):
Did you guys hear that? You didn't hear that? Oh
my totally popped. You know, at first he said he
had a problem with the left foot, then the doctor
said the left foot was okay. Suddenly it was a
problem with the right FOOTE the X right here, as
anybody looked at his medical records, you know, because this
just reveals reveals the truth about Lebron, doesn't it. You know,
(10:47):
don't be fooled people. He doesn't want to make the playoffs.
The goal for every NBA player these isn't to win
a title, it's to play in as few games this
poss relax, and so they want to do. You know,
these NBA basketball players, they're not playing basketball, They're playing hooky.
Isn't that right, Dony?
Speaker 2 (11:05):
It just goes to show that the NBA is clearly
responsible for so many of society's ills. No one of
the employers have so much trouble finding workers. I mean,
if a guy getting paid forty fifty million dollars is
allowed to not show up for his job, then why
should a guy getting paid seventeen fifty show up for
his when I see the unemployment stats. Yes, I blame
(11:29):
Joe Biden first, but Lebron James is a close second.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
Another great point, Dony. And you know, on the subject
of people, we can't stand one of them's coming on
the line. Oh yeah, get is over with and bring
him on the Fusco Satellite Network Fosco Satellite the world.
As we continue special investigative report on Super Bowl fifty seven,
(11:56):
we bring in this guy, the host of the rash
Markazi Show, longtime journalist, right whatever, Look he's going to
be Frankia. You know, we really didn't want to bring
you on the show again because your last performance was
just terrible. You know the only reason we're bringing you back,
to be honest, is because, you know, it really recently
came to our attention that you're you're at Super Bowl
(12:17):
fifty seven days before the game started. Is that true?
Did they really like someone of your caliber? Low caliber?
In they did?
Speaker 4 (12:26):
I got to walk on the field as as soon
as they put the SOD back. I think it was
it was a Tuesday, Tuesday or Wednesday, but I forgot Yes.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
Interesting, So I assume, given that you'll seem to be
an expert on SOD, that you were up to speed
on the breaking and shocking developments surrounding Super Bowl fifty seven.
Speaker 4 (12:46):
Yes, you know, this is like my favorite story that
no one but you guys are talking about.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
Exactly. There you go, This this sad date, the sad
Gate is very actually hold on gates over Watergate, a
game that's better and more clever than the thing you
just came up with. They'll be perfectly honest, but I
keep going, yeah, go.
Speaker 4 (13:08):
No, I mean, I mean, usually there's not this kind
of drama between the previous guy who did the SOD
and the new guy who did the sad but you know,
the old guy, the sod bother is publicly traffic on
the new guys that you did a bad job.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
So you are familiar with legendary groundskeeper George Toma. I'm
very impressed you're up to speed here. Yeah, and uh
so we want to get into some details. Day. You
were apparently at the Super Bowl days before the game
was played, and you took a photo of the field
and tweeted it but then deleted it. So you know,
what are you trying to hide there? You trying to
hide What's something? What's really going on here? I'm not sure.
Speaker 4 (13:46):
Why the league thought that that was a secret what
the field look like.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
But I did take a picture of the field.
Speaker 4 (13:52):
I posted it, and I was gently reminded that I
was not allowed, for whatever reason, to take a picture
of the field. That listen, this is the Super Bowl,
so I'm not going to put my crudential to cover
the game at stake for a picture of the.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
Field, which coward.
Speaker 4 (14:06):
I still have the pictures, but not knowing that the
field would play such a dramatic role in the game.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
Well, hold on, who intimidated you here? I mean, he
is this Roger goodell, is it an angry horde of landscapers?
Speaker 2 (14:18):
Who gets the guy who waters the grass? Was like, hey,
he starts, Yeah.
Speaker 4 (14:25):
No, it was it was someone in pr that I
think basically pulled everyone no pictures of the field. So
I don't know why we got uh. You know, we
were there to talk to them. We were there to
talk to Toma and the groundskeeper because if you guys remember,
they really bragged on the fact that for the past year,
here's how we put this field together. You know, we've
(14:48):
wielded in, wieled it out, and we've spent They really
bragged how they spend millions of dollars in over a
year making sure this was the best field.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
And yes, and you know what connected dots here we
dug into this. You know, as a journal you'll appreciate this.
You know that the field, the grass for the field
was developed at Oklahoma State University. What's the nearest NFL
team to Oklahoma State A rash take a guess, gotta
be the Cowboys, right, No, No, the Kansas City, Chase City.
(15:20):
You need to learn how to follow a train of thought.
But George Thomas said the field had a rotten smell.
Can you describe the smell to us, what are we
talking about? You know? Is it more like a dead
fish or more like old under underway, you know?
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Or is it like a like ben gay or something like?
Speaker 1 (15:37):
What are we talking about?
Speaker 4 (15:39):
Listen, the field when ies smelled the field for the
first time when it was first rolled in, wasn't bad.
I think Toma was referring to the fact that they
put a covering on top of the field and then
Rihanna and a halftime show in the pregame show, like,
all this stuff was happening.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
On a wet field.
Speaker 4 (15:57):
So imagine you go for a workout or whatever, you
have a wet T shirt and you cover that wet
T shirt.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
It's in a wet T shirt.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
Hold on, yeah, what are we talking about over here?
Let's get back on track here. What yeah, all right,
we're talking about grass. We're talking about the grass. You're
talking about wet shirts.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
You're trying to titillate our audience here. What now, was
it like rotten eggs? Did you smell rotten eggs? Yet?
Did you smell? You smell?
Speaker 4 (16:26):
Get to the point, there was no smell whenever it
was first wheeled back in. But the smell grew apparently
as the days progress.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
So I'm assuming were you at the game itself? For you,
it was what was the smell like there?
Speaker 4 (16:40):
It didn't smell great, It didn't smell great. I don't
know what the what to describe it as it.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
Ever, Yeah, you're only a writer. I wouldn't expect that
out of you, dear lord. Put five words together. It
smelled not good, not good. That's the best we can
do here art. We have a real bullets. Yeah, wow,
unbelievable good. Can you describe this dish to me at
(17:06):
a restaurant? A rash? Yeah, it's food you eat?
Speaker 4 (17:10):
What?
Speaker 1 (17:11):
Yeah? It's ground? Describe the field some vivid description, please, rotten?
What do you you know if you open.
Speaker 4 (17:19):
Up a fridge that you've unplugged everything?
Speaker 1 (17:24):
So good, Tony, tell them your theory. That's what Nick.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
Sirianni right during the national anthem, A lot of people
looked at Nick Sirianni and thought, wow, he's really crying
and emotional because of the national anthem. Now, while he
does love this country more than anybody else, we can't
confirm that he was actually crying because the field smelled
so awful.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Yeah, so did were.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
Your eyes tearing it all a rush during the national anthem?
Speaker 3 (17:51):
No?
Speaker 4 (17:52):
Thankfully they put me in the press box so I
had the smell of hot dogs and popcorn.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
It was I did not smell the feeling he's coming
on here? Know what? He's not giving us anything? Yeah? Yeah,
let's keep question. Are you covering the NFL or covering
for the NFL? Exactly? Come on, guys, come on, how
about this? How about you know he's afraid of losing
his precious badge. That's what's going on. That's what he
(18:16):
cares about.
Speaker 4 (18:18):
There's two teams that played on that field though, right,
it wasn't just one team.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
Is a passing team. Yeah, that's hurts them more. That's
why the Chiefs sabotaged the field, so they slip sliding
all over the place. You know that there? Come on,
you kidding. He's too busy imagining himself in a wet
T shirt. I don't know what I think. I'm too busy.
Speaker 5 (18:44):
I struggling to come up with the words. He's struggling
to come up with words. It maybe we'll get four
out of them, all right, Look, you know why we
got you here. You know, on our last show we
revealed what you know that you are a total Lakers homer.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
You're probably you're probably crying in your wet T shirt.
That's why your T shirt's wet because of the Lebron injury.
All those trees, those Lebron come on, don't listen it
all right? Don't you think he's a little suspicious to
Lebron gets injured all of a sudden, right, put it together.
He's playing so well, then suddenly Kevin Durant joins the
Suns and then suddenly he's like, oh my full are
(19:22):
you guys for a title anymore? Like my foot popped? Everybody?
Speaker 4 (19:26):
Right, no, listen, I mean, Lebron was having a good season.
I thought they could have made the playing tournament. Who
knows that maybe they'll make it all the way those
first round. My dream was the Lakers to have a
Philadelphia season where they got to the finals and then
they lost. I mean, that was my dream for the Lakers.
But I don't think it's gonna happen this.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
Yeah, yeah, how long you spend writing that one? Rush,
don't you think we as the media have a right
to review his personal medical records and just you know,
make sure he's not just resting.
Speaker 4 (20:03):
Saying that he's not playing because he's afraid of Kevin Durant.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
Exactly, that's exactly what we're saying he was going to lose.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
No, he's not afraid of Kevin Durant. Come on now, really, the.
Speaker 4 (20:16):
West is wide open. This is why I'm so upset
that he's not playing right now. I mean, who is
who is he supposed to be afraid.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
Of the Sun's kings. You know how to read something
called NBA standings, Yeah, they're the eleventh seed. I said,
I don't have to be the tennis seed. That's all
I want. All right, Listen, We've covered a lot of
seeds and sides in this show. Yeah, all right, you
know what, can we just go back to something because
I'm not over it yet. You know you said the
(20:43):
field smelled rotten. Well, you know what smells rotten to
me is your inability to describe this rotten field? Can
you for our audience so they know, as a journal
card smelled like.
Speaker 4 (20:58):
You can ever walk into a public restroom? I mean,
I mean, how would you describe that smell?
Speaker 1 (21:03):
You're asking us, you're asking it. This guy can't do it, Tony.
You know how I describe that smell. Yeah, it smells
like you on the.
Speaker 6 (21:10):
Yad, like you're interview. Yes, guess who You're off this shop?
That's what the field smells like. It smells like this interview.
It's looking at you like you're done. You're off this shop?
Speaker 4 (21:25):
Shide?
Speaker 1 (21:28):
Is he off the line? Jay, hang up the phone.
We're running short on time here. We haven't even done
our sponsor raids, so let's just get get it in here. Now.
It's time for a word from our good friends at
home Depot. Where do you buy your grass from a
scientific laboratory in Oklahoma? Well? Why the fuck you're doing that?
Speaker 2 (21:50):
Yeah, Home Depot proudly grows all their grass in house
and properly stands it unlike those folks who ruin the
Super Bowl.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
Go to home Depot dot com and enter the promo
code Ruined super Bowl for one point percent off your
first order of three thousand dollars a more offer ex
byers March first, twenty twenty three on Deep Bubble. All right,
well that wraps what I thought was a terrific special report.
Dony and uh yep, waw No, someone we should report
(22:19):
for terorble producing producing Jay, what make it. What do
you want?
Speaker 3 (22:24):
What?
Speaker 1 (22:24):
Just go directions? Hurry up, go.
Speaker 3 (22:27):
You said Michael Jordan never missed a single game. Yeah,
he was more stoppable. Yep, No, that's not true. And
also when Michael Jordan was lebronze age and playing for
the Wizards, he was out for twenty two games that season.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
Oh yeah, well you know who's out for you? The
hit man I just hired. Yeah, you're going to be
out for eternity. Yea, you going no more? We're done.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
That's his second. You said you should be able to
inspect Lebron's medical records. Yeah, he's not lying about is
we have a right to know?
Speaker 1 (23:02):
Yeah? That would be a hip of violation. It's against
the law. Oh yeah, well I'm gonna break your hip.
But if you don't shut the up.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
Yeah, and you know who's about to get your medical records?
The coroner's office. Oh we've finished.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
That's it. No more? What last one?
Speaker 3 (23:24):
What?
Speaker 1 (23:24):
Hurry up? Look?
Speaker 3 (23:26):
I looked it up. A Rash's right. The Chiefs are
not the closest. The Cowboys are the closest. Arrowhead is
about a four and a half hour drive away. Well,
at and T Stadium is about four hours and ten
minutes away. So basically AT and T is twenty minutes closer.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
Oh yeah, well, arrowhead is what they're gonna call you
after I shoot you with a crossbow.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
Yeah, when we're done with you. Not even map Quest

he's sulked you. What is the football field anyway? I'll
look at this, Tony on our high note.

(00:20):
as you remember, in twenty twenty three, after the Chiefs
Eagles super fraud, we did a series of investigative episodes.
Didn't we Tony into the vast cover up perpetrated in
that game? And did we win a bulletzer on that
I can't remember.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Between that and now this Sports Podcast award that we
won for Best Comedy for the second year in a row.
It's hard to keep track. Yeah, it's hard to keep track,

Anyway, all right, so we launched this full investigation and
through all the mouth feastings that day, specifically how the
field was so slippery that nobody could play on it
just made the horrible, the whole thing impossible, The whole outcome,
no and void should have been avoided. Well with the
rematch about to take place. We thought we'd replay for
you just that incredible bullets a probably winning episode. Can't
(01:08):
remember just one thing to note? Our video looks like
total crap because our idiot producer bought the crappiest cameras possible.
Great job by you.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
Yeah, good job by you, camera and you said it
was out of your price range.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
Oh well, good news. You're in range of my rifle.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
And if he misses, I'm gonna run you over with
my range rover.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
Oh now, shut up, shut up, and just quiet play.
That's all you gotta do. Said of all this talking,
all right, so here you go enjoy this terrific episode.
Then here you go is your precious theme music. Let's
hear it right, Yo yo life from Philly. It's the
(01:53):
number one rated poll. You Tony food job Yo yo
yo foos with Tony Fusco and Tony Huge show today.
You know, last week we sat here and boldly said,
didn't we, Tony, We said, don't fall for the media
cover up. Super Bowl fifty seven is far from over.
(02:16):
I'll go grabb in THEAFS. We just win and reside.
The truth is going to come out about what really happened,
and sure enough, Tony, now here we are. Yeah. You
see all these other major media outlets starting to follow
your lead here as they tend to go. No ways. Yeah,
and a huge story just came out of ESPN revealing
new details which further throw the outcome of the Super
(02:38):
Bowl in the question.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Yep, wipe the slate clean. We're only in the first
quarter here.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Yes, soon they'll be the congressional hearing, the lawsuits. You'll see,
it's all coming to people anyway. Yeah, don't worry. We're
also going to get into the breaking news out of
the NBA Lebron James injured or so he says. You know,
we're going to expose that story exactly. But first, right now,
we continue our special investigative coverage of Super Bowl fifty
(03:07):
seven in this FUSCO special report, payple. Just when you
thought the result of the Super Bowl couldn't get any
more suspicious, now a brave whistleblower is speaking up the
most trusted authority of Super Bowl integrity. Of course, I'm
(03:28):
talking about a name we all know, legendary groundskeeper George Toma,
who Superstowl shield as you all know, for every single
Super Bowl known to us all as the sodfather. He
has bobly come out and said the field for Super
Bowl fifty seven was quote over water. I know, we
all know we're looking at the field. We all know
(03:50):
Wede the field too slippery to play on, and he
said it wasn't standed properly. A clear day of gardening
male practice. Now, this story is sending waves through the
league and also the entire landscaping community, and that's why
today we are doing special coverage of this scandal. You
thought Watergate was big. This is Overwatergate, over Watergate, the
(04:15):
Super Bowl cover up. Now, before we get into the
details here, we do want to tell you we did
reach out and invite Commissioner Goodell on the show. No
resident respond yeah, exactly. And we did reach out to
several people in the league in league offices today, do
Chicken to come on? One person did say yes, probably
(04:36):
because he wants exposure or something. Yeah, we didn't want
to have him on the show again because he was
terrible last time. But he was at Super Bowl fifty seven,
so he might he might have some insight and he
would have some insight as to what happened there. Unlike
our guess last week, Eric Iger chiefs Homer Nerd, Yeah
Nerd anyway, his name's Rash mccazi. And he actually took
(05:00):
a photo of the field for the Super Bowl days
before they played. Well, what happened to that photo? Suddenly
is deleted. It's nowhere to be found. So let you just
find out what he's trying to hide there. But first
let's dig deeper into this troubling story. You know, in
case you haven't been following it as closely as we have,
which you should be. A war of words has broken
(05:21):
out between George Thoma and his underling NFL field director
Ed Mangan. Now, according to ESPN, Thoma claimed that Mangan
quote didn't do shit when it came to standing the
field prior to the game. Yeah, Thoma said about mangan
and how he handled the grass. Quote, he waters the
(05:42):
hell out of it and puts it right into the
stadium and that's it never sees sunlight again. He can't
do that. Incredible. And then Thoma also alleged that the
field had a rotten smell.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Yeah, something definitely smells rotten, all right.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Yeah, Thomas said, quote, he sanded it two weeks too late.
He had only one sanding. He should have had two
or three standings at least, but he didn't do and
that was it. Wow. And not only that he didn't
take care of it, he wouldn't listen to anybody, Tony,
your reaction.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
What was the first thing I said? When we were
watching the game? They didn't stand the field exactly.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
I could tell right away.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Anybody who knows anything knows you have to stand the
field several times. And you could tell when the Eagles
started slipping all over the place and then Jalen Hurts
fumbled that was the result of the field being not
properly sanded. As they say in the world of groundskeeping,
if the grass is too wet, then you must forfed.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
So well. But Tony, and you know, there had been
extensive coverage of this Super Bowl grass in the days
leading up to the game. You know ESPN this is true.
They actually had a whole article on it, which at
the time seemed like a terrible content strategy, but now
it actually bullets are worthy. You know exactly what it
says in this article is that the grass for the
(07:13):
Super Bowl is typically grown in Alabama, Georgia, California, where
you know grass grows. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, for some bad reason,
they decided to grow it in Phoenix. Makes no sense.
The hell tries to grow grass in a desert. I'll
tell you who that clown Ed Mangan yep. But it
doesn't even stop that dony because this grass for the
(07:37):
Super Bowl. This wasn't like your typical grass you find out,
you know, in home depot or whatever. The grass was
actually developed in some kind of scientific laboratory. This is
trope people. Wow, a guy named Yankee Wu and he's
apparently a professor at Oklahoma State University. Don't tell me
(07:59):
which can have team is closest to Oklahoma State University.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
I know who that would be, that Kansas City Chiefs. Yeah,
you know this has collusion written all over it. The
Chiefs knew the Eagles were a run first team and
that a slippery field would give them a huge advantage.
If there's anything that's slippery, it's the Chiefs who clearly
worked with Yankee Wu and Ed Mangan and the team
(08:27):
of laboratory grass scientists to undermine the Eagles.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
Absolutely reeks of corruption. And you know this brings us
back to the petition we launched last week on this
show to tell the NFL to declare no winner for
Super Bowl fifty seven, and the petition has been online
at change dot org. So let's check in right now, Jay,
how many hundreds of thousands of signatures are we up to? Now?
Speaker 3 (08:53):
You only have one hundred and ninety seven signatures total.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
That's not even possible.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
I had over two thousand text messages from our fans saying, yo,
just sign.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Clearly can't read numbers or you know what that is.
That's the algorithm hiding the truth. It hides the Do
it makes sense? Don't let that do that to you?
Or do they cover it off? There? You go to
stand up for what's right and go to change dot org.
Now you can click sign the petition, keep signing this podcast.
Don't worry about the algorithm. Let's get this fixed anyway.
Let's just move on to you know, a big story
(09:25):
out of the NBA. I guess Lebron James injured out
for at least a few weeks with a foot injury. Now,
there are so many strange parts to this story. Dote,
don'ty you know? It was broke. The ESPN headline read
and I quote sauces Lebron James feared out several weeks
(09:46):
with foot injury. Feared interest word choice than Donty who
feared this injury, because I certainly the hell didn't.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
Yeah, If anything, I feared Lebron continuing to play so
I wouldn't have to hear about him all the time.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
Same it, Tony. And you know what's so interesting here.
You know, Lebron he's playing just fine, having a good season,
and everything's good. Yeah, suddenly you know he's chasing the playoffs.
Then suddenly Kevin Durant joins the Suns. Lebron's realized he
had no shot at the title, and then suddenly he's like,
oh oh I can't play. Yeah, oh my foot pop.
(10:26):
Did you guys hear that? You didn't hear that? Oh
my totally popped. You know, at first he said he
had a problem with the left foot, then the doctor
said the left foot was okay. Suddenly it was a
problem with the right FOOTE the X right here, as
anybody looked at his medical records, you know, because this
just reveals reveals the truth about Lebron, doesn't it. You know,
(10:47):
don't be fooled people. He doesn't want to make the playoffs.
The goal for every NBA player these isn't to win
a title, it's to play in as few games this
poss relax, and so they want to do. You know,
these NBA basketball players, they're not playing basketball, They're playing hooky.
Isn't that right, Dony?
Speaker 2 (11:05):
It just goes to show that the NBA is clearly
responsible for so many of society's ills. No one of
the employers have so much trouble finding workers. I mean,
if a guy getting paid forty fifty million dollars is
allowed to not show up for his job, then why
should a guy getting paid seventeen fifty show up for
his when I see the unemployment stats. Yes, I blame
(11:29):
Joe Biden first, but Lebron James is a close second.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
Another great point, Dony. And you know, on the subject
of people, we can't stand one of them's coming on
the line. Oh yeah, get is over with and bring
him on the Fusco Satellite Network Fosco Satellite the world.
As we continue special investigative report on Super Bowl fifty seven,
(11:56):
we bring in this guy, the host of the rash
Markazi Show, longtime journalist, right whatever, Look he's going to
be Frankia. You know, we really didn't want to bring
you on the show again because your last performance was
just terrible. You know the only reason we're bringing you back,
to be honest, is because, you know, it really recently
came to our attention that you're you're at Super Bowl
(12:17):
fifty seven days before the game started. Is that true?
Did they really like someone of your caliber? Low caliber?
In they did?
Speaker 4 (12:26):
I got to walk on the field as as soon
as they put the SOD back. I think it was
it was a Tuesday, Tuesday or Wednesday, but I forgot Yes.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
Interesting, So I assume, given that you'll seem to be
an expert on SOD, that you were up to speed
on the breaking and shocking developments surrounding Super Bowl fifty seven.
Speaker 4 (12:46):
Yes, you know, this is like my favorite story that
no one but you guys are talking about.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
Exactly. There you go, This this sad date, the sad
Gate is very actually hold on gates over Watergate, a
game that's better and more clever than the thing you
just came up with. They'll be perfectly honest, but I
keep going, yeah, go.
Speaker 4 (13:08):
No, I mean, I mean, usually there's not this kind
of drama between the previous guy who did the SOD
and the new guy who did the sad but you know,
the old guy, the sod bother is publicly traffic on
the new guys that you did a bad job.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
So you are familiar with legendary groundskeeper George Toma. I'm
very impressed you're up to speed here. Yeah, and uh
so we want to get into some details. Day. You
were apparently at the Super Bowl days before the game
was played, and you took a photo of the field
and tweeted it but then deleted it. So you know,
what are you trying to hide there? You trying to
hide What's something? What's really going on here? I'm not sure.
Speaker 4 (13:46):
Why the league thought that that was a secret what
the field look like.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
But I did take a picture of the field.
Speaker 4 (13:52):
I posted it, and I was gently reminded that I
was not allowed, for whatever reason, to take a picture
of the field. That listen, this is the Super Bowl,
so I'm not going to put my crudential to cover
the game at stake for a picture of the.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
Field, which coward.
Speaker 4 (14:06):
I still have the pictures, but not knowing that the
field would play such a dramatic role in the game.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
Well, hold on, who intimidated you here? I mean, he
is this Roger goodell, is it an angry horde of landscapers?
Speaker 2 (14:18):
Who gets the guy who waters the grass? Was like, hey,
he starts, Yeah.
Speaker 4 (14:25):
No, it was it was someone in pr that I
think basically pulled everyone no pictures of the field. So
I don't know why we got uh. You know, we
were there to talk to them. We were there to
talk to Toma and the groundskeeper because if you guys remember,
they really bragged on the fact that for the past year,
here's how we put this field together. You know, we've
(14:48):
wielded in, wieled it out, and we've spent They really
bragged how they spend millions of dollars in over a
year making sure this was the best field.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
And yes, and you know what connected dots here we
dug into this. You know, as a journal you'll appreciate this.
You know that the field, the grass for the field
was developed at Oklahoma State University. What's the nearest NFL
team to Oklahoma State A rash take a guess, gotta
be the Cowboys, right, No, No, the Kansas City, Chase City.
(15:20):
You need to learn how to follow a train of thought.
But George Thomas said the field had a rotten smell.
Can you describe the smell to us, what are we
talking about? You know? Is it more like a dead
fish or more like old under underway, you know?
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Or is it like a like ben gay or something like?
Speaker 1 (15:37):
What are we talking about?
Speaker 4 (15:39):
Listen, the field when ies smelled the field for the
first time when it was first rolled in, wasn't bad.
I think Toma was referring to the fact that they
put a covering on top of the field and then
Rihanna and a halftime show in the pregame show, like,
all this stuff was happening.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
On a wet field.
Speaker 4 (15:57):
So imagine you go for a workout or whatever, you
have a wet T shirt and you cover that wet
T shirt.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
It's in a wet T shirt.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
Hold on, yeah, what are we talking about over here?
Let's get back on track here. What yeah, all right,
we're talking about grass. We're talking about the grass. You're
talking about wet shirts.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
You're trying to titillate our audience here. What now, was
it like rotten eggs? Did you smell rotten eggs? Yet?
Did you smell? You smell?
Speaker 4 (16:26):
Get to the point, there was no smell whenever it
was first wheeled back in. But the smell grew apparently
as the days progress.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
So I'm assuming were you at the game itself? For you,
it was what was the smell like there?
Speaker 4 (16:40):
It didn't smell great, It didn't smell great. I don't
know what the what to describe it as it.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
Ever, Yeah, you're only a writer. I wouldn't expect that
out of you, dear lord. Put five words together. It
smelled not good, not good. That's the best we can
do here art. We have a real bullets. Yeah, wow,
unbelievable good. Can you describe this dish to me at
(17:06):
a restaurant? A rash? Yeah, it's food you eat?
Speaker 4 (17:10):
What?
Speaker 1 (17:11):
Yeah? It's ground? Describe the field some vivid description, please, rotten?
What do you you know if you open.
Speaker 4 (17:19):
Up a fridge that you've unplugged everything?
Speaker 1 (17:24):
So good, Tony, tell them your theory. That's what Nick.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
Sirianni right during the national anthem, A lot of people
looked at Nick Sirianni and thought, wow, he's really crying
and emotional because of the national anthem. Now, while he
does love this country more than anybody else, we can't
confirm that he was actually crying because the field smelled
so awful.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Yeah, so did were.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
Your eyes tearing it all a rush during the national anthem?
Speaker 3 (17:51):
No?
Speaker 4 (17:52):
Thankfully they put me in the press box so I
had the smell of hot dogs and popcorn.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
It was I did not smell the feeling he's coming
on here? Know what? He's not giving us anything? Yeah? Yeah,
let's keep question. Are you covering the NFL or covering
for the NFL? Exactly? Come on, guys, come on, how
about this? How about you know he's afraid of losing
his precious badge. That's what's going on. That's what he
(18:16):
cares about.
Speaker 4 (18:18):
There's two teams that played on that field though, right,
it wasn't just one team.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
Is a passing team. Yeah, that's hurts them more. That's
why the Chiefs sabotaged the field, so they slip sliding
all over the place. You know that there? Come on,
you kidding. He's too busy imagining himself in a wet
T shirt. I don't know what I think. I'm too busy.
Speaker 5 (18:44):
I struggling to come up with the words. He's struggling
to come up with words. It maybe we'll get four
out of them, all right, Look, you know why we
got you here. You know, on our last show we
revealed what you know that you are a total Lakers homer.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
You're probably you're probably crying in your wet T shirt.
That's why your T shirt's wet because of the Lebron injury.
All those trees, those Lebron come on, don't listen it
all right? Don't you think he's a little suspicious to
Lebron gets injured all of a sudden, right, put it together.
He's playing so well, then suddenly Kevin Durant joins the
Suns and then suddenly he's like, oh my full are
(19:22):
you guys for a title anymore? Like my foot popped? Everybody?
Speaker 4 (19:26):
Right, no, listen, I mean, Lebron was having a good season.
I thought they could have made the playing tournament. Who
knows that maybe they'll make it all the way those
first round. My dream was the Lakers to have a
Philadelphia season where they got to the finals and then
they lost. I mean, that was my dream for the Lakers.
But I don't think it's gonna happen this.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
Yeah, yeah, how long you spend writing that one? Rush,
don't you think we as the media have a right
to review his personal medical records and just you know,
make sure he's not just resting.
Speaker 4 (20:03):
Saying that he's not playing because he's afraid of Kevin Durant.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
Exactly, that's exactly what we're saying he was going to lose.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
No, he's not afraid of Kevin Durant. Come on now, really, the.
Speaker 4 (20:16):
West is wide open. This is why I'm so upset
that he's not playing right now. I mean, who is
who is he supposed to be afraid.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
Of the Sun's kings. You know how to read something
called NBA standings, Yeah, they're the eleventh seed. I said,
I don't have to be the tennis seed. That's all
I want. All right, Listen, We've covered a lot of
seeds and sides in this show. Yeah, all right, you
know what, can we just go back to something because
I'm not over it yet. You know you said the
(20:43):
field smelled rotten. Well, you know what smells rotten to
me is your inability to describe this rotten field? Can
you for our audience so they know, as a journal
card smelled like.
Speaker 4 (20:58):
You can ever walk into a public restroom? I mean,
I mean, how would you describe that smell?
Speaker 1 (21:03):
You're asking us, you're asking it. This guy can't do it, Tony.
You know how I describe that smell. Yeah, it smells
like you on the.
Speaker 6 (21:10):
Yad, like you're interview. Yes, guess who You're off this shop?
That's what the field smells like. It smells like this interview.
It's looking at you like you're done. You're off this shop?
Speaker 4 (21:25):

Yeah? That would be a hip of violation. It's against
the law. Oh yeah, well I'm gonna break your hip.
But if you don't shut the up.

Hurry up? Look?
Speaker 3 (23:26):
I looked it up. A Rash's right. The Chiefs are
not the closest. The Cowboys are the closest. Arrowhead is
about a four and a half hour drive away. Well,
at and T Stadium is about four hours and ten
minutes away. So basically AT and T is twenty minutes closer.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
Oh yeah, well, arrowhead is what they're gonna call you
after I shoot you with a crossbow.
