Speaker 1 (00:07):
The season with Peter Schrager is a production of the
NFL in partnership with iHeartRadio. If you watch the pregame,
(00:30):
Historyonics and Kaylee Hartungue was great detailing at all versus
doing this lap and he had a smile a mile
wide and he's doing all this and doing the whole
Cogan and then a giant man like pulls him aside
in the back of the end zone and it's this
guy who you could see was almost like, wait a second, Palet,
you're not having your wrestling moment on us.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
This might have been that's great, This was actually might
have been a.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
Big Dom's consicly are in this situation the opposite of
how he is for everyone else. Jalen Carter talked to
Jared Versus was like the story was like we put
your play off bonus on it, like there was a
hole back and forth. And then I think Jalen Carter
was the best player on the field Sunday, and then
includes Sequon Barkley who had about five hundred yards rushing.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Jalen Carter was unblockable.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
The sack at the end, and then of course the
pressure at the end put this game on ice.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
No pun intended considering the weather.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
I think a star was born and he's been great,
all season, pro bowler, all pro, the whole thing. But
a star was born and he does have a little bit.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
Of this Jalen Carter is going to back it up.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
And with Sam Cosy out, the best offensive lineman on
Washington get injured, Carter might eat and might eat.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
A lot on Sunday.
Speaker 4 (01:40):
Woo.
Speaker 5 (01:42):
Well.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
I think the image of him with the hat really
low and the team issued gear and just a scowl
on his face and all these crazy trick plays without
seeing many items of him smiling, has put this caricature
of Ben Johnson as some bookish, almost nerdy guy who
sits in a lab and just looks at things and
tries to.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Figure out that's a that's a dad of three, like
you said. And I don't know.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
I'm not going to say he can coach yet, but
I know that that at least look like a guy
who can run a room and lead a room and
can get a response. I've never seen a coaching higher
break a brain like this coaching hire has for the
Detroit Lions fan base over the last twenty four hours,
I posted that video and Lions fans have gone absolutely
off the boat as far as their response.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
They are angry. They hate the.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
Fact that he was preparing for a Bears interview in
the division to leave for a team in the division
before he you know, they lose to the Commanders in
the divisional round. I've saw some podcasts I was saying, like, I.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Hate this man. I hate this man. I look at
that right there.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
That looks like a pretty warm, normal adjusted guy who's
looking to to start a new stage of his career.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Understand this, Lions fans, and.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
I know you didn't like the fact he went to
the Bears's almost like John marras saying, did you have
to go to the Eagles with Saquon?
Speaker 2 (02:55):
Of our things?
Speaker 3 (02:56):
If he had passed on head coaching jobs again this
this round, that's him giving up a ten million dollar
promotion for the third straight year. I don't know what
Lions fans were hoping for. It's how the building is done,
It's how this thing is set up. He had to
take a job this year, and he had to interview
last week.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
I'm sorry. I wish him well.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
It looks like a normal dat of three who's happy
to get the coolest job of his life.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Let's put it in a different situation.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
Let's say that Texans were last last week to upset
the Ken City Chiefs, and it's c J. Stroud and
this young, upstart Texans team and it's home.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
In Buffalo, and a win gets into the Super Bowl.
Does it diminish anything from the Bill season?
Speaker 5 (03:32):
No.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
All you could do is drive the car with the
keyser given by the schedule, and that's the Chief's fault,
not ours.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
We're doing our thing. We have a story.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
But gosh, is it sweeter to imagine going into Arrowhead
and sending that team home in their home field and
having a visual of Mahomes and Kelsey with their heads hanglow,
having to go shake Josh Allen's hand and having to
go shake Sean mcdermot's hand and say, hey, you guys
played the better game, and you guys beat us here.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
You know, you go through the history.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
It's the fourth playoff meeting they've lost three times to Mahomes.
Last year was at home, which was an even bitter
pill to swallow because it was in a divisional round
and they would have had a.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
Different route to take. I think you gotta go through
my Homes.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
You gotta go through Kelsey, you gotta go through Stags,
and you got to go through Andy and Chris Jones
and the bunch for this thing to really be as
sweet as it is.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
I know, a win over the Texans.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
Wouldn't have delegitimatized or would have minimized this whole Super
Bowl run for the Bills if they go on and
make it.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
But gotsh you go to like that.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
America's Game documentary that NFL Films does afterwards, or you
do some sort of thirty to thirty on this Bills team.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
That's the apex.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
We're beating the Chiefs, and we're beating them in that
building once.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
And for all.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
We got over the hump, and of course you know
the Michael Jordan Detroit Pistons references.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
We can do all day long. I feel like it's.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
Even sweeter if you have to, And I almost don't
want it any other way.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
What's that song coming home?
Speaker 5 (04:59):
Like?
Speaker 3 (04:59):
This is where Josh McDaniels belongs. He's been in other
places Denver, of course, and Vegas, and he making good
money from the Raiders, still a lot of money from
the Raiders still. But it's almost like this is home,
and this is his place of comfort.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
And where he's at his best.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
The hire by Vrabel, I think it's really interesting because
as much as they're in a post Belichick world and
we're saying, all right, the Patriots have to move on
from Brady and Belichick, they never had a post Belichick
Brady field because Gerrod Mayo was a former Patriot. Of course,
he was there coach for that one year. And now
they're going back to the well again with Brave's and McDaniels.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Now what I like about.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
Vrabel going back to New England, he chose to go
outside the nests for his coaching career. He went, of
course and worked with Bill O'Brien. He of course was
at Ohio State. He never worked for the Patriots as
a coach after McDaniels. McDaniels knows where all the secrets are,
where all the bodies are buried, and he is Patriots
football from a long generation. I think Josh's career is
(06:00):
really interesting as a coach. He never had that great
success leaving New England. You would think some coaches might
want to chase it and say, okay, but I'm gonna
find it. I'm gonna get it, and whether it be
as an offensive coordinator elsewhere, it's almost like, hey, look
that's where I've been at my best. That's where my
families had their best years. And I think there is
something to this that, Yes, it's rooted in nostalgia, but
(06:20):
I also think Rabel and McDaniels together have two very
different paths to where they are today. And I don't
think it necessarily just to dip back to the old
era and hey, remember those good times. I think they're
trying to forge their own careers and start a new
legacy with the Patriots. As these guys be the number
one and number two the.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
Higher by Vrabel. I think it's really.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
Interesting because as much as they're in a post Belichick
world and we're saying, all right, the Patriots have to
move on from Brady and Belichick, they never had a
post Belichick Brady field because Gerrod Mayo was a former Patriot.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Of course, he was their coach for that one year.
And now they're going back to the.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
Well again with Braves and McDaniels. Now, what I like
about Rabel going back to New England. He chose to
go outside the nest for his coaching career. He went,
of course, and worked with Bill O'Brien. He of course
was at Ohio State, was at He never worked for
the Patriots as a.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
Coach after McDaniels.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
McDaniels knows where all the secrets are, where all the
bodies are buried, and he is Patriots football from a
long generation. I think Josh's career is really interesting as
a coach. He never had that great success leaving New England.
You would think some coaches might want to chase it
and say, okay, but I'm gonna find it. I'm going
to get it, whether it be as an offensive coordinator elsewhere.
It's almost like, hey, look that's where I've been at
(07:36):
my best, That's where my families had their best years.
And I think there is something to this that, Yes,
it's rooted in nostalgia, but I also think Vrabel and
McDaniels together have two very different paths to where they
are today.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
And I don't think it's necessarily just to dip back
to the old era and hey remember those good times.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
I think they're trying to forge their own careers and
start a new legacy with the Patriots. As these guys
be the number one and number two. Well, they got
the fans, and they got the fans vote here.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
I think this was the pick from day one. Once
Mike Vrabel.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
Accepted that job in New England, I'd say this on
Aaron Glenn. There is something real for Jets fans and
for that building that a he is a former Pro
Bowl player who knows what that jersey feels like and
knows what being in that building feels like.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
I think that mattered.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
Think it mattered a lot to them that he's worn
different hats. He was a scouting assistant, he was a
defensive backs coach, he was a defensive coordinator, and now
he's going to be the head coach. And the reaction
from the players universally has been overwhelmingly positive. From those
Jets defensive guys specifically, I will say this on the
fact that they're hiring another first year defensive coach. The
(08:47):
six out of seven times the Jets did not even
ask to interview Todd Monkin, Cliff Kingsbury, Liam Cohen, Joe
Brady never interviewed with them, Ben Johnson never interviewed with them.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
You go down the list, the.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
Exception of Matt n Aggie and Josh McCown, who I
don't think really ever had a shot.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
In the thing.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
They didn't even think to go offensive side of the
ball in what is a passing league, and instead they
went with that culture builder, defensive type who's going to
get the.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Trust of the players.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
My final note, and people might roll their eyes here,
but this is how this organization and.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
A few in the league work.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
Bill Parcells's voice matters, and Bill Parcells spoke up and
vouched for Aaron Glenn. I think an eighty year old
man who hasn't been in the league in twenty five
years still has an influence in.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Buildings around the league.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
And I think when Bill Parcells says this is his guy,
and Bill Parcell says.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
Hell, look at Charlie Weiss.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
Bill Parcell says Aaron Glenn. The players can trust him
and he's all business. I think there's a real vintage
and glory era for a Jets time for fans in
the late nineties where Parcells brought this team back from one.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
To fifteen to respectabilability.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
I think that's where the Jets are right now, at
the bottom, and Bill Parcells vouchis for Aaron Glenn. The
hope is he can bring some of that, and the
Jets can be rose up from the ashes, and maybe
this is a Parcels disciple who can do just that.
Speaker 6 (10:18):
Name the nineties movie that best describes one of the
four remaining teams, Peter, all right, I'm.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
Gonna go back to nineteen ninety eight. Everything was about
teenage high school movies. If it wasn't American Pie, it
was anything else that you saw on television, And it
was a teenage third bags up Weeds. And I'm gonna
go to maybe the rival to American Pie. One that
I think makes a lot of sense here. The movie
was can't hardly wait? All right, Ken Harley, Wait, Third
(10:48):
Eye Blind? Of course, kid Amanda, and that girl is
Jennifer love Hewitt.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
She played Amanda.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
And a guy named Preston was the actor looking for Amanda,
and that was played by the great Ethan Embry. The
right and Preston all the way on the right is
the artistic guy Amanda is dating, the jack and the
jock Mike Dexter dumps her and Peter Facchinelli.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
The Dexter dumps her. She's lost, she's confused.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
Then the artistic guy who wrote the letter and we'll
go into the whole content.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
The bottom line is this, Yes, finally got the girl.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
After years of pining and years of watching, and years
of just doing everything right, he finally got the girl.
This is the Buffalo Bills looking at that Super Bowl
berth and getting past their Mike Dexter, getting past their
jock and their bully.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
Getting past Kansas City.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
I look at Josh Allen as the ethan embry.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
Of this playoff final four?
Speaker 3 (11:44):
Can he get Jennifer love HEWITTT and Jennifer Love Hewitt
of course is not only a Lombardi Trophy, but that
trip to New Orleans, which could happen in a train
station somewhere as they all find each other and kiss
at the point.
Speaker 5 (11:54):
Heater, let me jump out on this. I think there's
another connection.
Speaker 7 (11:56):
There's At one point, Jerry O'Connell shows up to like
kind of be a mentoring old guy. He's done it before.
I think he was like Joe Burrow in this like
he's be I've done it. I've gone into Edna's it
works bro and he.
Speaker 5 (12:07):
Does a long belts and everything.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
Oh, Kyle, friend of the show.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
Guys for the first time since nineteen ninety two, that
franchise is going to the NFC Championship round and in
Schrager's NFL Trivia.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
And it is all Washington base.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
We are going back to the seventies, the eighties, and
the nineties, and we are reliving some of the best
moments for Washington football fans because since nineteen ninety two,
this team has not been.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
To this stage of the NFL season.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
Ocbar, We're gonna start with you, and we're gonna give
you the question of the broadcast elemental of this is
the first time we will ever have a broadcast of
the NFC Championship game with its Washington's in it on
five cool so Okbar, I will ask you this question.
(13:10):
Which two broadcasters were the voices of the five conference
championship games that Washington played in during the nineteen eighties
and nineties.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
The same two guys were in the boot for five.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
Different conference championship games.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
Was it Alt Michaels and Lynn Swann, Bob Trump? Was
it Dick Enberg and Bob Trump? Be Trumpy?
Speaker 3 (13:31):
Was it Howard Cosell and Don Meredith? Or was it
Pat summer All and John Matten. Remember Fox didn't pick
up the NFL since ninety four, so all these games
were on CBS.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Oh, okay, okay.
Speaker 8 (13:47):
This is really good. I remember Howard Cosell from his
boxing days with mohammadan Lee, just being downright trucking, and
he did do football. But I don't think it was
Edinburgh being an eighties kid, nineties kid. I mean, there's
only two voices that inspired need to even be where
I'm at today. I'm gonna have to go with Pat
(14:10):
Somerll and Pope John Metten. That was a bad John
Madden voice, but that's what I think it is. I
think it's so bad and Pat Summer.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
All right, viewers at home, I want you to sit
back and enjoy the next minute of NFC Championship introductions
on screen by the best to ever do it.
Speaker 9 (14:31):
Working with me of course, as always is the former
Oakland Raider head coach John matt and John Frankly.
Speaker 5 (14:36):
What kind of game do you see?
Speaker 10 (14:38):
I think both of these defenses are going to go
after each other. I think we're going to see a
lot of blitzing. Now. The last time they played, the
Redskins can handle the blitzer to Cowboys.
Speaker 9 (14:48):
You know, the forty nine ers came into Washington d
c two days early. They came here, as a matter
of fact, late Thursday night.
Speaker 10 (14:54):
They worked out two.
Speaker 9 (14:55):
Days on an uncovered field at the University of Maryland.
And I think, and I think John Madden agrees with me,
that that's the way to approach this thing.
Speaker 11 (15:02):
I really do.
Speaker 10 (15:03):
I think, you know, especially when you're coming from the
West coast to the east cost that you have that
three hour time difference. And this game is going to
start at nine thirty the forty nine er times.
Speaker 9 (15:13):
CBS Sports presents the National Football League Today, it's the
New York Giants against the Redskins of Washington live from
RFK Stadium. It is the NFC Championship game between the
Minnesota Vikings and the Washington Redskins, and RFK stadiums where
no one.
Speaker 11 (15:29):
I think when this all began expected to be is
sold out as usual. We've been watching Joe coaches Washington
Redskins team for eleven years and the end of this
game is the happier that I have seen him in
those eleven years.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
That's so cool, ogs, let's up cool. That's how it
was they did all those NFC championship games.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
Madden and Summer all Akbar you're right, children of the
eighties and nineties. Kyle and I were talking about it
here on the show. I say, like, when we're growing up,
it was the forty nine ers, it was the Cowboys,
and it was Washington one.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
Of those games.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
And I feel like an entire generation of fans don't
even know that.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
And now they're back at the NFC.
Speaker 7 (16:11):
So many games at RFK that was always like the
big game. Was there any movement Peter on RFK Junior Stadium?
Maybe very healthy concessions, It's very healthy.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
It's these times we used to have the big noses
and the guys dress the hogets us.
Speaker 5 (16:27):
And a Visa commercial he did, Jamie.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
We are in a nostalgia mode here. And the last
time that Washington played in the NFC Championship game was actually.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
January of ninety two.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
In that game, the Washington defense held which Hall of
Fame running back to just forty four yards rushing?
Speaker 2 (16:49):
Was it a Emmitt Smith, B. Barry Sanders, C. Walter
Payton or d the Great Marshall.
Speaker 5 (16:57):
Fuck?
Speaker 6 (16:58):
Okay, only because we're in the Lions were great thirty
years ago era. I'm gonna go with B.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
Barry Sanders.
Speaker 5 (17:07):
I was four years old.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
I don't know that's okay.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
You saw Wayne Fontz just embracing Joe Gibbs. You better
believe it was Barry Sanders, who can is one of
the all time great running backs.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
That is right, Jamie, b Barry Sanders.
Speaker 3 (17:23):
Let's run the clips. Barry comes in as like the
superstar of the world. Can he go in to Washington
and get this win? Unfortunately, it wasn't gonna be this
day for Lions fans. Washington just absolutely swallowed him on
this one. All the different highlights you see. It was
a forty four yard rushing day in the biggest game
of Barry Sanders' careers, the furthest he would ever get
(17:45):
in the playoffs.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
They get stuffed in the.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
NFC Championship game, just like Saquon gets to the NFC
Championship Game, but as a great running back, could not
get over the hump.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
Can Saquon do it?
Speaker 3 (17:56):
We'll see he'll be going up against a Washington defense
himself to reach the Super Bowl for the first time.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
Great job, Jamie, look at that defense from the area. Vie,
who need to drone?
Speaker 5 (18:07):
Cool? My drone is the goodyear blimp.
Speaker 10 (18:10):
Peter.
Speaker 5 (18:11):
We go back with I'm a blimp this year. It
means you got a game all right.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
On January seventeenth, nineteen eighty eight, Washington beat Minnesota in
the NFC Championship Games.
Speaker 12 (18:23):
Was right before my ninth birthday, right before your ninth birthday.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
Minnesota beat San Francisco the week before. They were this
upstart team and they gave Washington everything they could. Here
is a clip from the radio of Doug Williams's fourth
quarter game winning touchdown.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
Pass to the great Gary Clark.
Speaker 9 (18:41):
It bushed here through to the upside.
Speaker 5 (18:43):
Doug wanted back to back.
Speaker 9 (18:44):
Look it look he throws it to the edge.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
Pap a big gay clark o, the rich good breagade
that I had with five fifty. They go to Gary
Clark and they win seventeen to ten, and they head
to the Super Bowl where obviously they would demolish the
Denver Broncos and Doug Williams would get his It.
Speaker 5 (19:06):
Was a little detail that I always loved what he got.
Speaker 7 (19:08):
Back in the day when they would show how much
time was left in the game, five minutes and ten seconds,
it was actually a camera shot of the stadium clock.
It wasn't an on screen graphic they were filming the
stadium clock and they put it.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
There the score book.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
Take me back, there was nothing, Vikings fan, sorry to
have to relive that.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
You still haven't been back to the super Bowl, but
Washington went there. You got a Vikings question for me.
Speaker 5 (19:31):
Let's go. I'm ready, Kyle.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
That was Jerry Byanuary of eighty eight.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
Okay, what was the number one movie in America the
night that Washington beat Minnesota in the eighty seven NFC
Championship game? Was it a good morning Vietnam?
Speaker 2 (19:48):
Was it b throw Mama from the train? Was it
c overboard or was it?
Speaker 7 (19:53):
Indeed, Eddie Murphy raw, I'll start from the bottom, Eddie
Murphy raw that a fact will follow up to delirious
Eddie Murphy in a skin tight purple leather suits his
post forty eight Hours.
Speaker 5 (20:02):
Eddie Murphy, huge deal. A lot of it is aged terribly.
Speaker 12 (20:06):
There's one part where Eddie makes fun of the moonwalk.
Speaker 5 (20:09):
That was the thing where he's like he.
Speaker 12 (20:10):
Didn't know how to do it, and he'd be like,
I don't get it.
Speaker 5 (20:12):
He say, hey, baby, let's dance.
Speaker 11 (20:14):
See later, and everyone.
Speaker 5 (20:15):
Would just laugh and everyone's just actually died.
Speaker 12 (20:18):
I think it did make money, but I don't think
it was a huge number one hit overboard. My wife
and I love this movie, and he gooula he I
think they remade it with Anna Faris didn't have the
same charm.
Speaker 5 (20:27):
Now.
Speaker 12 (20:27):
Throw Mama from the Train is a fascinating movie directed
by Danny de Vito, very dark comedy in which Danny
DeVito wants Billy Crystal to kill his mom who is
Mama for Telly, and Billy Crystal wants Danny DeVito to
kill his wife.
Speaker 5 (20:40):
It's all over the map. I'm not gonna spoil it
out there what happens with the Mama.
Speaker 7 (20:45):
I also don't think that was a big hit, but
I know that Good Morning Vietnam, in my opinion, a
Robert wool vehicle.
Speaker 5 (20:53):
Sorry and Avin.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
Williams, JT. Walsh incredible too.
Speaker 7 (20:56):
As the heavy the movie goes weird places and there's
death and miserable stuff.
Speaker 5 (21:00):
I just remember my uncle Bob. May he rest in peace.
I loved him. We used to go together.
Speaker 7 (21:04):
Away as a family, and every single morning, to get
the kids out of bed, he would go.
Speaker 12 (21:08):
To our room and go, good morning.
Speaker 5 (21:13):
I missed your uncle Bob. I miss your Robin Williams.
This is a big hit.
Speaker 12 (21:16):
I think it's good Morning Vietnam.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
The correct answer is good Morning Vietnam.
Speaker 5 (21:22):
This inspired our show name in twenty sixteen. What do
we call the show?
Speaker 12 (21:25):
And Michael Davey said, remember the Vietnam with Robin william
Let's call it good Morning's Football and that like that.
Speaker 5 (21:30):
Yes, it was just like that.
Speaker 3 (21:31):
Your I'm sorry, good Morning Vietnam.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
You nailed it, really would have. I mean I could
be wrong here. One of Robin's first serious.
Speaker 7 (21:40):
Roles massive breakout. Yeah, and there aren't very serious parts
of it.
Speaker 5 (21:43):
I love the J. T. Wallts character.
Speaker 7 (21:44):
The whole thing is like, now you would read the
news without any jokes, without any bets.
Speaker 5 (21:48):
He's like okay, and then he would just add limb.
It's very funny, but a heavy roll at parts.
Speaker 3 (21:52):
I love this great great trip down nostalgia lane. Good
Morning Vietnam was the number one tim all four of
those movies, though did finish in the top ten.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
That was that, right? Yeah.
Speaker 5 (22:02):
I feel like if THR MoMA was a bombed, I
guess not. Billy Crystal was hot.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
Go find guys, Mama for Telly break Sooney's all right, guys.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
The video clue. We're staying in Washington, DC.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
This is this is for those fans right now who
have been longing for them to be in the NFC
Championship Game for thirty some odd years. Down thirty four
to ten in the fourth quarter of the ninety one
NFC Championship Game, what happens on this Lions offensive play?
They're down twenty four points in the fourth Is it
A Herman Moore has an eighty two yard touchdown reception.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
Is it B Matt millan sack of andre ware to
put this game on ice?
Speaker 3 (22:43):
Is it CE Dexter Manley has a strip sack of
fumble recovery for a touchdown? Or is it D Darryl Green,
the future Hall of Famer has a pick six to
put the game away. We'll go up that way, okbar,
Jamie Kyle.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
Okay, straight up, it's D.
Speaker 8 (23:00):
Darryl Green thirty two yards pick six. It's got to be.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
It has to be.
Speaker 5 (23:06):
You know I always go pick six.
Speaker 6 (23:08):
I'm going to go D Daryl Green thirty two yard
pick six.
Speaker 7 (23:11):
Well, I know it's not a because if we pay
attention earlier in the segment the meference this game and
it was forty one to ten final score. But I
don't think it's not a defensive score. I know Peter
Peter has a soft spot for Matt Mellan. He's always
like Matt Millan. So I'm going to go be a
sack of andre Ware, who I loved in college.
Speaker 3 (23:26):
Andre Ware University of Houston, a Heisman Trophy winner. For
the actual answer, I want you to watch the broadcast
clip and listen, because I think it's Madden in summer,
all at their all time best, and you could feel
that the catharsis of a fan base knowing they're going.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
To go play the Buffalo Bills in the Super Bowl.
Take a listen very.
Speaker 4 (23:45):
Where Darryl Green, Daryl Green work for for Washington, Where
big by Darryl Green, jerk Jeryl Green right out of
(24:08):
the stadium.
Speaker 11 (24:10):
There's not much Drew Green.
Speaker 10 (24:11):
They picked him up the home.
Speaker 11 (24:12):
Up Whitney fans, thirtie thu yard pick up. This has
been a complete game for these rip Skins today and.
Speaker 3 (24:22):
The owner that gets cooked, all he can do is laugh.
Speaker 11 (24:26):
It's been offense, it's been defense, it's been special teams.
Speaker 5 (24:32):
Again.
Speaker 13 (24:32):
Chills, chills, That's what football used to be like in
the eighties, a rocking stadium where the camera is shaking,
and you hear a marching band with a drum, and
you see the joy.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
Of the fans on what looks to be just an
incredibly terribly kept surface.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
That's what it was. That was it, Darryl Green, one
of his greatest moments.
Speaker 5 (24:52):
Kyle, your thoughts.
Speaker 7 (24:53):
I just think the most special moment in all of
the NFL season is when a home team knows that's
going to win the title game, you're going to the
super Bowl. The super Bowl is different. It's not the
same home atmosphere, it's not a lot of the fans.
It's the last time so many of those fans are
going to see their team and we're going.
Speaker 5 (25:07):
To the super Bowl.
Speaker 7 (25:08):
It's it's kind of like a basketball player wearing the
net when they're going to the Final four. They haven't
won the title yet, but they're going to the final four.
And we just saw it and we can see it
from Eagles or Chiefs fans again this weekend.
Speaker 5 (25:19):
It's so cool.
Speaker 6 (25:22):
To Kyle's point, just like the roar of the crowd
and honestly, listening to the broadcasters in the play, I
Love Me at a throwback pick six.
Speaker 8 (25:30):
This feels like Peter like with all this just feels
like you're you're, you're, you're setting it up for later
in the week here to tell us that the Commanders
are going to the super Bowl.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
Many of those so many of those players are home.
Speaker 6 (25:44):
To Peter's point, like, you know, the fact that they
got to go to Philadelphia and do this is a
whole different beasts.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
No doubt.
Speaker 3 (25:50):
I'll just say that there was once upon a time
where that franchise Super Bowl was not a big deal.
They would go every other year, find themselves there. Maybe
we're entering that era again. I'm just saying, I'm not.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
Going to do it next week.
Speaker 5 (26:02):
Can't do next week? A trivia about rookies in the
Super Bowl? A quarterback ever been one? It would be
the worst ever.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
Can't do it trivia, folks, Let's go.
Speaker 10 (26:12):
So good?
Speaker 4 (26:13):
Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (26:14):

The season with Peter Schrager is a production of the
NFL in partnership with iHeartRadio. If you watch the pregame,
(00:30):
Historyonics and Kaylee Hartungue was great detailing at all versus
doing this lap and he had a smile a mile
wide and he's doing all this and doing the whole
Cogan and then a giant man like pulls him aside
in the back of the end zone and it's this
guy who you could see was almost like, wait a second, Palet,
you're not having your wrestling moment on us.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
This might have been that's great, This was actually might
have been a.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
Big Dom's consicly are in this situation the opposite of
how he is for everyone else. Jalen Carter talked to
Jared Versus was like the story was like we put
your play off bonus on it, like there was a
hole back and forth. And then I think Jalen Carter
was the best player on the field Sunday, and then
includes Sequon Barkley who had about five hundred yards rushing.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Jalen Carter was unblockable.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
The sack at the end, and then of course the
pressure at the end put this game on ice.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
No pun intended considering the weather.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
I think a star was born and he's been great,
all season, pro bowler, all pro, the whole thing. But
a star was born and he does have a little bit.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
Of this Jalen Carter is going to back it up.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
And with Sam Cosy out, the best offensive lineman on
Washington get injured, Carter might eat and might eat.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
A lot on Sunday.
Speaker 4 (01:40):
Woo.
Speaker 5 (01:42):
Well.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
I think the image of him with the hat really
low and the team issued gear and just a scowl
on his face and all these crazy trick plays without
seeing many items of him smiling, has put this caricature
of Ben Johnson as some bookish, almost nerdy guy who
sits in a lab and just looks at things and
tries to.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Figure out that's a that's a dad of three, like
you said. And I don't know.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
I'm not going to say he can coach yet, but
I know that that at least look like a guy
who can run a room and lead a room and
can get a response. I've never seen a coaching higher
break a brain like this coaching hire has for the
Detroit Lions fan base over the last twenty four hours,
I posted that video and Lions fans have gone absolutely
off the boat as far as their response.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
They are angry. They hate the.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
Fact that he was preparing for a Bears interview in
the division to leave for a team in the division
before he you know, they lose to the Commanders in
the divisional round. I've saw some podcasts I was saying, like, I.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Hate this man. I hate this man. I look at
that right there.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
That looks like a pretty warm, normal adjusted guy who's
looking to to start a new stage of his career.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Understand this, Lions fans, and.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
I know you didn't like the fact he went to
the Bears's almost like John marras saying, did you have
to go to the Eagles with Saquon?
Speaker 2 (02:55):
Of our things?
Speaker 3 (02:56):
If he had passed on head coaching jobs again this
this round, that's him giving up a ten million dollar
promotion for the third straight year. I don't know what
Lions fans were hoping for. It's how the building is done,
It's how this thing is set up. He had to
take a job this year, and he had to interview
last week.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
I'm sorry. I wish him well.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
It looks like a normal dat of three who's happy
to get the coolest job of his life.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Let's put it in a different situation.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
Let's say that Texans were last last week to upset
the Ken City Chiefs, and it's c J. Stroud and
this young, upstart Texans team and it's home.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
In Buffalo, and a win gets into the Super Bowl.
Does it diminish anything from the Bill season?
Speaker 5 (03:32):
No.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
All you could do is drive the car with the
keyser given by the schedule, and that's the Chief's fault,
not ours.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
We're doing our thing. We have a story.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
But gosh, is it sweeter to imagine going into Arrowhead
and sending that team home in their home field and
having a visual of Mahomes and Kelsey with their heads hanglow,
having to go shake Josh Allen's hand and having to
go shake Sean mcdermot's hand and say, hey, you guys
played the better game, and you guys beat us here.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
You know, you go through the history.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
It's the fourth playoff meeting they've lost three times to Mahomes.
Last year was at home, which was an even bitter
pill to swallow because it was in a divisional round
and they would have had a.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
Different route to take. I think you gotta go through
my Homes.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
You gotta go through Kelsey, you gotta go through Stags,
and you got to go through Andy and Chris Jones
and the bunch for this thing to really be as
sweet as it is.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
I know, a win over the Texans.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
Wouldn't have delegitimatized or would have minimized this whole Super
Bowl run for the Bills if they go on and
make it.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
But gotsh you go to like that.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
America's Game documentary that NFL Films does afterwards, or you
do some sort of thirty to thirty on this Bills team.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
That's the apex.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
We're beating the Chiefs, and we're beating them in that
building once.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
And for all.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
We got over the hump, and of course you know
the Michael Jordan Detroit Pistons references.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
We can do all day long. I feel like it's.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
Even sweeter if you have to, And I almost don't
want it any other way.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
What's that song coming home?
Speaker 5 (04:59):
Like?
Speaker 3 (04:59):
This is where Josh McDaniels belongs. He's been in other
places Denver, of course, and Vegas, and he making good
money from the Raiders, still a lot of money from
the Raiders still. But it's almost like this is home,
and this is his place of comfort.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
And where he's at his best.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
The hire by Vrabel, I think it's really interesting because
as much as they're in a post Belichick world and
we're saying, all right, the Patriots have to move on
from Brady and Belichick, they never had a post Belichick
Brady field because Gerrod Mayo was a former Patriot. Of course,
he was there coach for that one year. And now
they're going back to the well again with Brave's and McDaniels.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Now what I like about.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
Vrabel going back to New England, he chose to go
outside the nests for his coaching career. He went, of
course and worked with Bill O'Brien. He of course was
at Ohio State. He never worked for the Patriots as
a coach after McDaniels. McDaniels knows where all the secrets are,
where all the bodies are buried, and he is Patriots
football from a long generation. I think Josh's career is
(06:00):
really interesting as a coach. He never had that great
success leaving New England. You would think some coaches might
want to chase it and say, okay, but I'm gonna
find it. I'm gonna get it, and whether it be
as an offensive coordinator elsewhere, it's almost like, hey, look
that's where I've been at my best. That's where my
families had their best years. And I think there is
something to this that, Yes, it's rooted in nostalgia, but
(06:20):
I also think Rabel and McDaniels together have two very
different paths to where they are today. And I don't
think it necessarily just to dip back to the old
era and hey, remember those good times. I think they're
trying to forge their own careers and start a new
legacy with the Patriots. As these guys be the number
one and number two the.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
Higher by Vrabel. I think it's really.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
Interesting because as much as they're in a post Belichick
world and we're saying, all right, the Patriots have to
move on from Brady and Belichick, they never had a
post Belichick Brady field because Gerrod Mayo was a former Patriot.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Of course, he was their coach for that one year.
And now they're going back to the.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
Well again with Braves and McDaniels. Now, what I like
about Rabel going back to New England. He chose to
go outside the nest for his coaching career. He went,
of course, and worked with Bill O'Brien. He of course
was at Ohio State, was at He never worked for
the Patriots as a.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
Coach after McDaniels.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
McDaniels knows where all the secrets are, where all the
bodies are buried, and he is Patriots football from a
long generation. I think Josh's career is really interesting as
a coach. He never had that great success leaving New England.
You would think some coaches might want to chase it
and say, okay, but I'm gonna find it. I'm going
to get it, whether it be as an offensive coordinator elsewhere.
It's almost like, hey, look that's where I've been at
(07:36):
my best, That's where my families had their best years.
And I think there is something to this that, Yes,
it's rooted in nostalgia, but I also think Vrabel and
McDaniels together have two very different paths to where they
are today.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
And I don't think it's necessarily just to dip back
to the old era and hey remember those good times.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
I think they're trying to forge their own careers and
start a new legacy with the Patriots. As these guys
be the number one and number two. Well, they got
the fans, and they got the fans vote here.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
I think this was the pick from day one. Once
Mike Vrabel.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
Accepted that job in New England, I'd say this on
Aaron Glenn. There is something real for Jets fans and
for that building that a he is a former Pro
Bowl player who knows what that jersey feels like and
knows what being in that building feels like.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
I think that mattered.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
Think it mattered a lot to them that he's worn
different hats. He was a scouting assistant, he was a
defensive backs coach, he was a defensive coordinator, and now
he's going to be the head coach. And the reaction
from the players universally has been overwhelmingly positive. From those
Jets defensive guys specifically, I will say this on the
fact that they're hiring another first year defensive coach. The
(08:47):
six out of seven times the Jets did not even
ask to interview Todd Monkin, Cliff Kingsbury, Liam Cohen, Joe
Brady never interviewed with them, Ben Johnson never interviewed with them.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
You go down the list, the.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
Exception of Matt n Aggie and Josh McCown, who I
don't think really ever had a shot.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
In the thing.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
They didn't even think to go offensive side of the
ball in what is a passing league, and instead they
went with that culture builder, defensive type who's going to
get the.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Trust of the players.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
My final note, and people might roll their eyes here,
but this is how this organization and.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
A few in the league work.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
Bill Parcells's voice matters, and Bill Parcells spoke up and
vouched for Aaron Glenn. I think an eighty year old
man who hasn't been in the league in twenty five
years still has an influence in.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Buildings around the league.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
And I think when Bill Parcells says this is his guy,
and Bill Parcell says.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
Hell, look at Charlie Weiss.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
Bill Parcell says Aaron Glenn. The players can trust him
and he's all business. I think there's a real vintage
and glory era for a Jets time for fans in
the late nineties where Parcells brought this team back from one.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
To fifteen to respectabilability.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
I think that's where the Jets are right now, at
the bottom, and Bill Parcells vouchis for Aaron Glenn. The
hope is he can bring some of that, and the
Jets can be rose up from the ashes, and maybe
this is a Parcels disciple who can do just that.
Speaker 6 (10:18):
Name the nineties movie that best describes one of the
four remaining teams, Peter, all right, I'm.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
Gonna go back to nineteen ninety eight. Everything was about
teenage high school movies. If it wasn't American Pie, it
was anything else that you saw on television, And it
was a teenage third bags up Weeds. And I'm gonna
go to maybe the rival to American Pie. One that
I think makes a lot of sense here. The movie
was can't hardly wait? All right, Ken Harley, Wait, Third
(10:48):
Eye Blind? Of course, kid Amanda, and that girl is
Jennifer love Hewitt.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
She played Amanda.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
And a guy named Preston was the actor looking for Amanda,
and that was played by the great Ethan Embry. The
right and Preston all the way on the right is
the artistic guy Amanda is dating, the jack and the
jock Mike Dexter dumps her and Peter Facchinelli.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
The Dexter dumps her. She's lost, she's confused.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
Then the artistic guy who wrote the letter and we'll
go into the whole content.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
The bottom line is this, Yes, finally got the girl.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
After years of pining and years of watching, and years
of just doing everything right, he finally got the girl.
This is the Buffalo Bills looking at that Super Bowl
berth and getting past their Mike Dexter, getting past their
jock and their bully.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
Getting past Kansas City.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
I look at Josh Allen as the ethan embry.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
Of this playoff final four?
Speaker 3 (11:44):
Can he get Jennifer love HEWITTT and Jennifer Love Hewitt
of course is not only a Lombardi Trophy, but that
trip to New Orleans, which could happen in a train
station somewhere as they all find each other and kiss
at the point.
Speaker 5 (11:54):
Heater, let me jump out on this. I think there's
another connection.
Speaker 7 (11:56):
There's At one point, Jerry O'Connell shows up to like
kind of be a mentoring old guy. He's done it before.
I think he was like Joe Burrow in this like
he's be I've done it. I've gone into Edna's it
works bro and he.
Speaker 5 (12:07):
Does a long belts and everything.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
Oh, Kyle, friend of the show.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
Guys for the first time since nineteen ninety two, that
franchise is going to the NFC Championship round and in
Schrager's NFL Trivia.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
And it is all Washington base.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
We are going back to the seventies, the eighties, and
the nineties, and we are reliving some of the best
moments for Washington football fans because since nineteen ninety two,
this team has not been.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
To this stage of the NFL season.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
Ocbar, We're gonna start with you, and we're gonna give
you the question of the broadcast elemental of this is
the first time we will ever have a broadcast of
the NFC Championship game with its Washington's in it on
five cool so Okbar, I will ask you this question.
(13:10):
Which two broadcasters were the voices of the five conference
championship games that Washington played in during the nineteen eighties
and nineties.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
The same two guys were in the boot for five.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
Different conference championship games.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
Was it Alt Michaels and Lynn Swann, Bob Trump? Was
it Dick Enberg and Bob Trump? Be Trumpy?
Speaker 3 (13:31):
Was it Howard Cosell and Don Meredith? Or was it
Pat summer All and John Matten. Remember Fox didn't pick
up the NFL since ninety four, so all these games
were on CBS.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Oh, okay, okay.
Speaker 8 (13:47):
This is really good. I remember Howard Cosell from his
boxing days with mohammadan Lee, just being downright trucking, and
he did do football. But I don't think it was
Edinburgh being an eighties kid, nineties kid. I mean, there's
only two voices that inspired need to even be where
I'm at today. I'm gonna have to go with Pat
(14:10):
Somerll and Pope John Metten. That was a bad John
Madden voice, but that's what I think it is. I
think it's so bad and Pat Summer.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
All right, viewers at home, I want you to sit
back and enjoy the next minute of NFC Championship introductions
on screen by the best to ever do it.
Speaker 9 (14:31):
Working with me of course, as always is the former
Oakland Raider head coach John matt and John Frankly.
Speaker 5 (14:36):
What kind of game do you see?
Speaker 10 (14:38):
I think both of these defenses are going to go
after each other. I think we're going to see a
lot of blitzing. Now. The last time they played, the
Redskins can handle the blitzer to Cowboys.
Speaker 9 (14:48):
You know, the forty nine ers came into Washington d
c two days early. They came here, as a matter
of fact, late Thursday night.
Speaker 10 (14:54):
They worked out two.
Speaker 9 (14:55):
Days on an uncovered field at the University of Maryland.
And I think, and I think John Madden agrees with me,
that that's the way to approach this thing.
Speaker 11 (15:02):
I really do.
Speaker 10 (15:03):
I think, you know, especially when you're coming from the
West coast to the east cost that you have that
three hour time difference. And this game is going to
start at nine thirty the forty nine er times.
Speaker 9 (15:13):
CBS Sports presents the National Football League Today, it's the
New York Giants against the Redskins of Washington live from
RFK Stadium. It is the NFC Championship game between the
Minnesota Vikings and the Washington Redskins, and RFK stadiums where
no one.
Speaker 11 (15:29):
I think when this all began expected to be is
sold out as usual. We've been watching Joe coaches Washington
Redskins team for eleven years and the end of this
game is the happier that I have seen him in
those eleven years.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
That's so cool, ogs, let's up cool. That's how it
was they did all those NFC championship games.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
Madden and Summer all Akbar you're right, children of the
eighties and nineties. Kyle and I were talking about it
here on the show. I say, like, when we're growing up,
it was the forty nine ers, it was the Cowboys,
and it was Washington one.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
Of those games.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
And I feel like an entire generation of fans don't
even know that.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
And now they're back at the NFC.
Speaker 7 (16:11):
So many games at RFK that was always like the
big game. Was there any movement Peter on RFK Junior Stadium?
Maybe very healthy concessions, It's very healthy.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
It's these times we used to have the big noses
and the guys dress the hogets us.
Speaker 5 (16:27):
And a Visa commercial he did, Jamie.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
We are in a nostalgia mode here. And the last
time that Washington played in the NFC Championship game was actually.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
January of ninety two.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
In that game, the Washington defense held which Hall of
Fame running back to just forty four yards rushing?
Speaker 2 (16:49):
Was it a Emmitt Smith, B. Barry Sanders, C. Walter
Payton or d the Great Marshall.
Speaker 5 (16:57):
Fuck?
Speaker 6 (16:58):
Okay, only because we're in the Lions were great thirty
years ago era. I'm gonna go with B.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
Barry Sanders.
Speaker 5 (17:07):
I was four years old.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
I don't know that's okay.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
You saw Wayne Fontz just embracing Joe Gibbs. You better
believe it was Barry Sanders, who can is one of
the all time great running backs.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
That is right, Jamie, b Barry Sanders.
Speaker 3 (17:23):
Let's run the clips. Barry comes in as like the
superstar of the world. Can he go in to Washington
and get this win? Unfortunately, it wasn't gonna be this
day for Lions fans. Washington just absolutely swallowed him on
this one. All the different highlights you see. It was
a forty four yard rushing day in the biggest game
of Barry Sanders' careers, the furthest he would ever get
(17:45):
in the playoffs.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
They get stuffed in the.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
NFC Championship game, just like Saquon gets to the NFC
Championship Game, but as a great running back, could not
get over the hump.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
Can Saquon do it?
Speaker 3 (17:56):
We'll see he'll be going up against a Washington defense
himself to reach the Super Bowl for the first time.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
Great job, Jamie, look at that defense from the area. Vie,
who need to drone?
Speaker 5 (18:07):
Cool? My drone is the goodyear blimp.
Speaker 10 (18:10):
Peter.
Speaker 5 (18:11):
We go back with I'm a blimp this year. It
means you got a game all right.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
On January seventeenth, nineteen eighty eight, Washington beat Minnesota in
the NFC Championship Games.
Speaker 12 (18:23):
Was right before my ninth birthday, right before your ninth birthday.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
Minnesota beat San Francisco the week before. They were this
upstart team and they gave Washington everything they could. Here
is a clip from the radio of Doug Williams's fourth
quarter game winning touchdown.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
Pass to the great Gary Clark.
Speaker 9 (18:41):
It bushed here through to the upside.
Speaker 5 (18:43):
Doug wanted back to back.
Speaker 9 (18:44):
Look it look he throws it to the edge.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
Pap a big gay clark o, the rich good breagade
that I had with five fifty. They go to Gary
Clark and they win seventeen to ten, and they head
to the Super Bowl where obviously they would demolish the
Denver Broncos and Doug Williams would get his It.
Speaker 5 (19:06):
Was a little detail that I always loved what he got.
Speaker 7 (19:08):
Back in the day when they would show how much
time was left in the game, five minutes and ten seconds,
it was actually a camera shot of the stadium clock.
It wasn't an on screen graphic they were filming the
stadium clock and they put it.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
There the score book.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
Take me back, there was nothing, Vikings fan, sorry to
have to relive that.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
You still haven't been back to the super Bowl, but
Washington went there. You got a Vikings question for me.
Speaker 5 (19:31):
Let's go. I'm ready, Kyle.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
That was Jerry Byanuary of eighty eight.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
Okay, what was the number one movie in America the
night that Washington beat Minnesota in the eighty seven NFC
Championship game? Was it a good morning Vietnam?
Speaker 2 (19:48):
Was it b throw Mama from the train? Was it
c overboard or was it?
Speaker 7 (19:53):
Indeed, Eddie Murphy raw, I'll start from the bottom, Eddie
Murphy raw that a fact will follow up to delirious
Eddie Murphy in a skin tight purple leather suits his
post forty eight Hours.
Speaker 5 (20:02):
Eddie Murphy, huge deal. A lot of it is aged terribly.
Speaker 12 (20:06):
There's one part where Eddie makes fun of the moonwalk.
Speaker 5 (20:09):
That was the thing where he's like he.
Speaker 12 (20:10):
Didn't know how to do it, and he'd be like,
I don't get it.
Speaker 5 (20:12):
He say, hey, baby, let's dance.
Speaker 11 (20:14):
See later, and everyone.
Speaker 5 (20:15):
Would just laugh and everyone's just actually died.
Speaker 12 (20:18):
I think it did make money, but I don't think
it was a huge number one hit overboard. My wife
and I love this movie, and he gooula he I
think they remade it with Anna Faris didn't have the
same charm.
Speaker 5 (20:27):
Now.
Speaker 12 (20:27):
Throw Mama from the Train is a fascinating movie directed
by Danny de Vito, very dark comedy in which Danny
DeVito wants Billy Crystal to kill his mom who is
Mama for Telly, and Billy Crystal wants Danny DeVito to
kill his wife.
Speaker 5 (20:40):
It's all over the map. I'm not gonna spoil it
out there what happens with the Mama.
Speaker 7 (20:45):
I also don't think that was a big hit, but
I know that Good Morning Vietnam, in my opinion, a
Robert wool vehicle.
Speaker 5 (20:53):
Sorry and Avin.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
Williams, JT. Walsh incredible too.
Speaker 7 (20:56):
As the heavy the movie goes weird places and there's
death and miserable stuff.
Speaker 5 (21:00):
I just remember my uncle Bob. May he rest in peace.
I loved him. We used to go together.
Speaker 7 (21:04):
Away as a family, and every single morning, to get
the kids out of bed, he would go.
Speaker 12 (21:08):
To our room and go, good morning.
Speaker 5 (21:13):
I missed your uncle Bob. I miss your Robin Williams.
This is a big hit.
Speaker 12 (21:16):
I think it's good Morning Vietnam.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
The correct answer is good Morning Vietnam.
Speaker 5 (21:22):
This inspired our show name in twenty sixteen. What do
we call the show?
Speaker 12 (21:25):
And Michael Davey said, remember the Vietnam with Robin william
Let's call it good Morning's Football and that like that.
Speaker 5 (21:30):
Yes, it was just like that.
Speaker 3 (21:31):
Your I'm sorry, good Morning Vietnam.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
You nailed it, really would have. I mean I could
be wrong here. One of Robin's first serious.
Speaker 7 (21:40):
Roles massive breakout. Yeah, and there aren't very serious parts
of it.
Speaker 5 (21:43):
I love the J. T. Wallts character.
Speaker 7 (21:44):
The whole thing is like, now you would read the
news without any jokes, without any bets.
Speaker 5 (21:48):
He's like okay, and then he would just add limb.
It's very funny, but a heavy roll at parts.
Speaker 3 (21:52):
I love this great great trip down nostalgia lane. Good
Morning Vietnam was the number one tim all four of
those movies, though did finish in the top ten.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
That was that, right? Yeah.
Speaker 5 (22:02):
I feel like if THR MoMA was a bombed, I
guess not. Billy Crystal was hot.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
Go find guys, Mama for Telly break Sooney's all right, guys.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
The video clue. We're staying in Washington, DC.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
This is this is for those fans right now who
have been longing for them to be in the NFC
Championship Game for thirty some odd years. Down thirty four
to ten in the fourth quarter of the ninety one
NFC Championship Game, what happens on this Lions offensive play?
They're down twenty four points in the fourth Is it
A Herman Moore has an eighty two yard touchdown reception.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
Is it B Matt millan sack of andre ware to
put this game on ice?
Speaker 3 (22:43):
Is it CE Dexter Manley has a strip sack of
fumble recovery for a touchdown? Or is it D Darryl Green,
the future Hall of Famer has a pick six to
put the game away. We'll go up that way, okbar,
Jamie Kyle.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
Okay, straight up, it's D.
Speaker 8 (23:00):
Darryl Green thirty two yards pick six. It's got to be.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
It has to be.
Speaker 5 (23:06):
You know I always go pick six.
Speaker 6 (23:08):
I'm going to go D Daryl Green thirty two yard
pick six.
Speaker 7 (23:11):
Well, I know it's not a because if we pay
attention earlier in the segment the meference this game and
it was forty one to ten final score. But I
don't think it's not a defensive score. I know Peter
Peter has a soft spot for Matt Mellan. He's always
like Matt Millan. So I'm going to go be a
sack of andre Ware, who I loved in college.
Speaker 3 (23:26):
Andre Ware University of Houston, a Heisman Trophy winner. For
the actual answer, I want you to watch the broadcast
clip and listen, because I think it's Madden in summer,
all at their all time best, and you could feel
that the catharsis of a fan base knowing they're going.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
To go play the Buffalo Bills in the Super Bowl.
Take a listen very.
Speaker 4 (23:45):
Where Darryl Green, Daryl Green work for for Washington, Where
big by Darryl Green, jerk Jeryl Green right out of
(24:08):
the stadium.
Speaker 11 (24:10):
There's not much Drew Green.
Speaker 10 (24:11):
They picked him up the home.
Speaker 11 (24:12):
Up Whitney fans, thirtie thu yard pick up. This has
been a complete game for these rip Skins today and.
Speaker 3 (24:22):
The owner that gets cooked, all he can do is laugh.
Speaker 11 (24:26):
It's been offense, it's been defense, it's been special teams.
Speaker 5 (24:32):
Again.
Speaker 13 (24:32):
Chills, chills, That's what football used to be like in
the eighties, a rocking stadium where the camera is shaking,
and you hear a marching band with a drum, and
you see the joy.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
Of the fans on what looks to be just an
incredibly terribly kept surface.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
That's what it was. That was it, Darryl Green, one
of his greatest moments.
Speaker 5 (24:52):
Kyle, your thoughts.
Speaker 7 (24:53):
I just think the most special moment in all of
the NFL season is when a home team knows that's
going to win the title game, you're going to the
super Bowl. The super Bowl is different. It's not the
same home atmosphere, it's not a lot of the fans.
It's the last time so many of those fans are
going to see their team and we're going.
Speaker 5 (25:07):
To the super Bowl.
Speaker 7 (25:08):
It's it's kind of like a basketball player wearing the
net when they're going to the Final four. They haven't
won the title yet, but they're going to the final four.
And we just saw it and we can see it
from Eagles or Chiefs fans again this weekend.
Speaker 5 (25:19):
It's so cool.
Speaker 6 (25:22):
To Kyle's point, just like the roar of the crowd
and honestly, listening to the broadcasters in the play, I
Love Me at a throwback pick six.
Speaker 8 (25:30):
This feels like Peter like with all this just feels
like you're you're, you're, you're setting it up for later
in the week here to tell us that the Commanders
are going to the super Bowl.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
Many of those so many of those players are home.
Speaker 6 (25:44):
To Peter's point, like, you know, the fact that they
got to go to Philadelphia and do this is a
whole different beasts.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
No doubt.
Speaker 3 (25:50):
I'll just say that there was once upon a time
where that franchise Super Bowl was not a big deal.
They would go every other year, find themselves there. Maybe
we're entering that era again. I'm just saying, I'm not.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
Going to do it next week.
Speaker 5 (26:02):
Can't do next week? A trivia about rookies in the
Super Bowl? A quarterback ever been one? It would be
the worst ever.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
Can't do it trivia, folks, Let's go.
Speaker 10 (26:12):
So good?
Speaker 4 (26:13):
Oh my god.
