Speaker 5 (03:01):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (03:01):
And Sager Patel and of course on the SA our
man Steve Disager.
Speaker 5 (03:11):
All right, Rob, let's get into it. I don't know, Rob,
Do we have the quote?
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Is there sound of mahomes or is this a Was
this the quote?
Speaker 8 (03:21):
It was given to NFL Networks Jeff Darlington. I had
the editing staff effort to find some sound. They could
not find it. Bat, I do have the quote you
are referring to, chrisper.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Sorry, okay, why don't you read us it to us?
This is from two time MVP, two times Super Bowl champion,
pretty much very widely regarded as the best quarterback. Not
every no, but widely regarded as the best quarterback in
the league. That means there's a few exceptions, but very few.
But anyway, here's Patrick Mahomes on being a villain.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
That's right.
Speaker 8 (03:53):
Jeff Darlington asked him if he senses that he's become
a villain to other fan bases, specifically in comparison to
the Patriots and how they were considered villains during their
run with Tom Brady, Bill Belichick, Patrick Mahomes quote, I
can definitely sense it. I never felt like that because
I've never been like that in my entire life. But
it's become a little bit funny. I don't want to
(04:15):
say you enjoy it. I know the Patriots had that
for a while. I hope we do any different way,
with a little bit more fun and personality. But as
long as you keep winning, teams start to not like you.
And I want to keep winning. So if that means
some of the other teams other fan bases aren't gonna
like me, I'll still try to have a smile on
my face and I'd be a bad example. But I
can be that villain for them if they need me
(04:37):
to be.
Speaker 6 (04:39):
The biggest non story and fake narrative I've ever heard
in NFL Super Bowl history. Wow, the Kansas City Chiefs
are not the bad guys or villains. Can we stop?
The Patriots had a lot of reasons why you didn't
like them, Okay, starting with the cheating.
Speaker 5 (04:59):
Okay, Chris, can we start?
Speaker 4 (05:01):
They'll do it.
Speaker 5 (05:02):
That'll do it where you want to cheat.
Speaker 6 (05:04):
Some fan bases as the Raiders with the tuck rule, right,
Rob g that's why you hate the Patriots. They cheated.
How about Bill Belichick. That's a rosy guy that you
want to hang out with, or you think he's a
cool guy. No, all shuck's Tom Brady. He's another guy
(05:26):
make you want to throw up in your mouth. Wow,
just wit just the way here?
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Yeah, all right, some people, not everybody, like you said,
not everybody, but this notion that the Kansas City Chiefs
are the bad guys.
Speaker 5 (05:41):
They got a.
Speaker 6 (05:42):
Coaching and Andy Reid who lost so many big games
people couldn't even count. They look at Andy Reid and
they think he's a Pillsbury dough boy and they want
to push their finger into his stomach. They don't look
at that guy as a bad guy. They want to
pass the menu at Denny's. That's what they want to
do to any Weed. They don't hate Andy Weed and
(06:11):
Proderick Mahomes. He hasn't won every game, they lost the
Super Bowl. That the Dame Patrick Mahomes has done nothing
to anybody. Chris, he's a he's a talented quarterback. They've
won a couple of Super Bowls. Yes, they've gone to
the Super Bowl four to five years. I understand maybe
that jealousy, maybe a little jealousy, but hate the Kansas
(06:36):
City Chiefs preposterous, dumb, lazy, really, that that's the narrative
going on, that they're the villains. I don't buy that
for one second, that the Kansas City Chiefs or some
villain of the NFL.
Speaker 5 (06:52):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
They're not the quote unquote evil empire, right like the
Yankees have been as disliked as the Patriots were, and
like you said, there were reasons for the Patriots cheating.
They're not view like the Miami Heat were when Lebron
(07:16):
and Wade and Bosh first teamed up.
Speaker 5 (07:19):
But Rob, I.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Do since a growing, if not dislike pulling against the Chiefs.
I do feel like there is a growing group of
fans throughout the country pulling against the Chiefs. They are
not beloved. Obviously some people love them outside of Kansas City,
(07:45):
but they are not just beloved like say the Jordan
Bulls were, And there is like there were there were
surveys showing the overwhelming majority of people were pulling for Baltimore,
just outside the Baltimore and Kansas City, pulling for them
to beat the Chiefs. And I think, as you said, Andy,
(08:07):
Reid very likable, Patrick Mahomes very likable, Travis Kelsey dating
Taylor Swift like all of that. But I think it
stems from people just tiring of the winning. Like if
they win it this year and the heck they've gotten
to the super Bowl at the very least, then if
(08:29):
your other AFC fan bases, you're like, man, when are
we gonna get to the Super Bowl?
Speaker 3 (08:35):
This year?
Speaker 5 (08:35):
They were eleven and six, they.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
Played five hundred football for the second half of the season.
They the offense wasn't close to what it used to be,
and they still got to the Super Bowl. I think
that's what it is. And yeah, Joe Burrow on the
Bengals beat them once. They've been the four out of
the last five Super Bowls, So I agree. It's not
(08:57):
a hatred because they're unlike likable in any sort of way.
Speaker 5 (09:02):
But I do feel like people are.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Tiring of them winning it and just feeling like, how
in the world are we gonna beat them? And it's
our rob because it's very different from as I mentioned,
the Jordan Bulls.
Speaker 5 (09:16):
They were generally beloved all over.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
The country, not in Detroit. That's the yeah, right, because
they bad boys.
Speaker 6 (09:26):
People who have never worn of Jordan's or won't buy
him in Detroit. You know that over that they hated
Michael Jordan.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
I believe that, but they're They're in the overwhelming minority,
and get over it.
Speaker 5 (09:37):
You're jealous souls.
Speaker 6 (09:38):
Look at anyway, but you use the right word jealous,
and that's what. There's a difference between being jealous and
hating the Kansas City Chiefs. If you want to say, Chris,
there are some teams of fan bases that are jealous.
I'll buy that. But I don't think that anybody hates
the chief.
Speaker 5 (09:56):
But I think I agree that they're not just likable.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
In fact, I would look at them and think, why
can't they be like you know, if they keep winning,
why can't.
Speaker 5 (10:05):
They be like the Jordan bulls.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Mahoons is exciting, he's fun, he's a good guys and
the commercials like Michael Jordan used to be.
Speaker 5 (10:12):
The coach is likable. All of these things going on.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
But I think Rob and I give credit to Nick Wright,
my partner on first things First, for saying this.
Speaker 5 (10:21):
I thought this was a good point.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
He said it may have come too fast. I mean,
Mahmes right away as soon as he started his second year,
he was dominated through for fifty touchdowns over five thousand
yards when MVP. The next year they win the Super
Bowl with Jordan, it was you know, he didn't win
it until his seventh.
Speaker 5 (10:43):
Year, Rob and you mentioned Detroit.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
They kept beating him, and so there was this feeling
that he had overcome and he had fought hard and
earned his strikes and you know, crawled his way to
the top of the mountain, and so when he got there,
you could feel good about it. And I wonder if
to some people at least, it feels like, man, we
never saw them struggle for the most part. I mean, they,
(11:09):
like you said, they haven't won it every year. Excuse me,
but they have become dominant in very short order. And
I agree they're not hated, but I do say that
narrative are pulling against them, pulling a lot of people
are pulling against them.
Speaker 5 (11:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (11:26):
I think it's a jealousy factor more than anything. Again,
I just hate I just don't see it.
Speaker 5 (11:33):
I just don't. I don't. I don't feel that.
Speaker 6 (11:35):
I think there are people who really hate the Patriots,
who really feel like.
Speaker 5 (11:39):
You know, they they got stuff, they're cheating.
Speaker 6 (11:42):
We don't even know the scope of their cheating, Like
we know a little bit, but if we were to
pull a curtain back, Chris, it would be really bad
and we'd be like, oh my god, it was worse
than we ever thought. I think there are people who
will never give the Patriots their full credit, their full
due because they don't feel like it was above board
(12:02):
the entire way and that and that says something they
should be celebrated. Really if this was patriots, no right,
if the Patriots had done it.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
But there are people that dislike them, but they not
that those are those cheating alligators or not even allegations,
just scandals.
Speaker 5 (12:21):
They did, they got, they got. That has not stopped.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
Most people from saying Brady's to go, or most people
from Sam Belichick's to go.
Speaker 5 (12:29):
Well, I think this till they very celebrated.
Speaker 6 (12:32):
Who are looking at it and they don't, They probably
should be celebrated more to me, And I just think
it's the underlying thing that eventually will find out.
Speaker 5 (12:41):
There'll be some other I'm just waiting for, you know,
I'm waiting for the book The full scope.
Speaker 6 (12:47):
Eric Mangini gave us a taste, but there's a book
out there.
Speaker 5 (12:49):
That I want to read, Why don't you write it?
Speaker 6 (12:54):
Michael Holly, He's the one Michael Holly up there in Boston.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
He's written several he had written that. Yeah, but those
are all speculating. Those are all cotton candy books that.
Speaker 5 (13:05):
He was speculating. Of course, I'm just speculing. I don't
have anything, you know. That's why I said I can't
write anything. I'm in LA. So you're speculating that there's
more out there. Yeah, that's all. I don't have anything.
Let's see, Let's see what the listeners think.

I don't know what Rob is up. Money shot take.
Speaker 11 (16:15):
No lives there.
Speaker 7 (16:16):
I had to take no, what do you got.
Speaker 11 (16:20):
I live in an area of the country that no
one really there's no there's no home team, and everybody
kind of picks.
Speaker 7 (16:26):
Their own team.
Speaker 11 (16:28):
There's just not a team very close, so there's a
lot of varying opinions. And going into last well week
before last AFC Conference Championship game, you know, of course
I was cheering for Kansas City because they were playing
a Steelers rival, the Steelers rival, so all week long,
(16:48):
people are like, who you got, I'm all Kansas City,
can't City? They go, I'm not betting to get some homes.
I'm cheering for Kansas City. And people are like why,
why are you cheering for Kansas City? And I'm like why,
and I kept here I hate Kansas City. I'm like why.
Speaker 7 (17:02):
I'm tired of them winning.
Speaker 11 (17:03):
So they are slowly becoming Vielins, even though they've done
nothing to Now I ask you a question. I know
the Patriots gave you reasons, but if the Patriots had
cheated and never won, nobody would even talk about it.
Speaker 7 (17:16):
You gotta win to be hated.
Speaker 5 (17:18):
No, there's I agree with everything you said. I don't
disagree with that. Yeah, I agree with everything you.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
Said, and I would Rob, Why do you want they
wouldn't be viewed like the Bulls. You got a transcendent
quarterback star like you have. Jordan was a transcendent star.
Speaker 5 (17:39):
You know, the Bulls never lost. I think it was Jordan's.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
But I'm just saying when when you never lose, there's
something about like they never saw you.
Speaker 5 (17:51):
Lose lose before they got there.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
On the bigger stage, though, I just think that there's
something about Jordan and the winning.
Speaker 5 (17:59):
As how he's just yeah, everybody love me. Yeah, there's
just something about it.
Speaker 6 (18:04):
Charles in Washington, you're in the odd couple Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 5 (18:08):

Speaker 7 (18:10):

Speaker 5 (18:18):
Man on.
Speaker 13 (18:22):
MA Homes gets hate for I mean, for different reasons,
but to me, it's.
Speaker 7 (18:27):
It's opened everything. You know, they've been winning so much.
Speaker 12 (18:29):
You know, he looks the way he looks me personally,
what you.
Speaker 5 (18:32):
Make Wait wait you said he looks the way he
looks What does that mean?
Speaker 13 (18:36):
They get some of the same hay that step Curry
gets with the Warriors.
Speaker 7 (18:39):
Man.
Speaker 12 (18:39):
You know, like I said, I'm t skin because I'm
somewhere between like Robert Oregon You Chris honestly like what
Shade is like. And if summertime I'm more like Jim
Jackson Robert, or in the winter time when I get
no sunshine, I'm more like you. I'm watch staffs like
I go from carry out to corn torup.
Speaker 7 (18:54):
That's what Rob?
Speaker 5 (18:56):
Where are you at on that?
Speaker 14 (18:57):
You?
Speaker 5 (18:58):
You? You hate? You? Do you think that's a factor
because he's light skinned? No, No, I just don't.
Speaker 7 (19:04):
He could be.
Speaker 13 (19:05):
Great small Naessa Robbie right by Jordan, because Jordan's what
I was about Jordan, espcially by the Yoka's dog.
Speaker 7 (19:12):
The winning is the winning.
Speaker 13 (19:13):
But he was so smooth with him, man like the
way he moved like that he had a combination of
about leticism. Plus it was hard not like.
Speaker 5 (19:20):
And he had and he had so much he had.
Speaker 6 (19:23):
He had so much swagger he made having the ball
head look good like Chris. There was so many things
about him for real. And Michael Jordan was a dark
skinned guy, you know what I mean. He wasn't like
some fly guy, you.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
Know, what everybody says, he made dark he made dark
skinned Brothers, put Dark Brothers in style.
Speaker 5 (19:47):
No, I mean he he had I.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
Think he I think first one, I guess it's arguable.
I think he had the best looking game in the
NBA history. The better I mean, I guess some people
might try to argue, I don't know Kyrie or but
Jordan's game was just Doctor j obviously is up there.
Speaker 5 (20:05):
But Jordan's game, Yeah, Donald Man, Thanks, thanks Chawles.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
We're appreciating the shoes and the shoes and and and
to this day, still twenty five.
Speaker 5 (20:16):
Years, I think they're there. I don't think there's a doubt.
Speaker 7 (20:19):
Rob.
Speaker 5 (20:20):
They're more popular now.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
They that's more popular they weren't in thet Jordans. Oh yeah,
big time. Mark and Sacramento. Man, Mark, you're on the
odd couple of Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 5 (20:30):
What's up?
Speaker 7 (20:30):
What's going on? What's going on, gentlemen, what's up? Money?
Speaker 5 (20:34):
It's the shoes.
Speaker 7 (20:39):
So that's a big part of it because of the
coach of the shoes created. Not to say Michael Jordan
was Michael Jordan.
Speaker 12 (20:44):
We all know that, but you have to add the
cultural part of the shoes kind of like Ellens and
culture part of his dress. He changed me there how
you dressed yep, the corn rows.
Speaker 6 (20:56):
You know what's crazy, though, is when the tattoo thing.
When I remember when I when I remember tattoos, it
would be on like biker white guys, you know, bikers, right, plumbers,
guys in the in the navy or something like.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
That's a war tattoos, you know what I mean, Like,
I don't remember. That's strange that that became such a thing,
but it still is big. I mean, obviously people are
getting tattoos. Yeah, I guess go ahead, mark your thought
on are they hated or just they're just jealousy. I
think there's a lot of jealousy, because it's hard to
(21:31):
hate a guy who sounds like coming the falls.
Speaker 5 (21:35):
He does. Its jealousy, That's what I think it is.
Speaker 12 (21:41):
Have some assholes to be to be, you know, to
be you know, feelings good guys.
Speaker 6 (21:48):
One hundred percent, thanks Mark, one hundred percent, Chris, that
there they are.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
You might not want to see win all the time,
but it's gotta be jealousy like that. Get on your team.
You want your team to win, you want somebody else
to win. Yep, no doubt all right, it is the
odd couple, Chris and Rob Solomon will Cox.
Speaker 5 (22:06):
He's right over there.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
Exit NFL player is around the corner. He'll join us
in a moment.

Bengals and a couple of other teams, and now he

Speaker 3 (22:43):
So U good to see you guys.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
Yes, absolutely, brother, great to have you on. And we
were just talking Rob and I about there seems to
be a growing sentiment of people just pulling against the Chiefs.
Patrick Mahomes was asked about it. He said, look, he'll
be the villain if he has to. Do you feel
I mean, Robin concluded on jealousy. They're not hate Patricks,
(23:07):
They're not unlikable like maybe the Patriots and some other
teams have been.
Speaker 5 (23:12):
But where where are you at on the Chiefs.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
And do you think a lot of times, a lot
of people now are starting to pull against them, maybe
because there's a feeling they win in too much.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
Yeah, that's just kind of the trend, right.
Speaker 15 (23:26):
I think professional jealousy does begin to creep in after
you've won and won and continue to win.
Speaker 5 (23:32):
And he's done so.
Speaker 15 (23:33):
At an early clip, like early in his career, right,
twenty eight years old, but yet has accomplished so much.
But he's so wonderful, Like he has all the right
answers in the postgame press conferences.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
He says all the right things, he does all the
right things.
Speaker 15 (23:49):
He knows how to win at clutch time, he gets
to do things other quarterbacks don't get to do, throw
late over the middle of the field, still has things
workout for him, right, he can do a show like
the quarterbacks that Peyton Manning did last year. He can
do that in the middle of the season, not have
it distracting, and still go on to win a Super Bowl.
So I think after a while, people do get tired
(24:12):
of seeing the same group of people win and they
want someone else that's new and so yeah, I think
they've reached that point of success in their career as
the Kansas City chiefs Andy Reid, Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelcey.
Where you're starting to the tide is kind of going
against them a little bit. I'm still for them because
I love when I love excellence, and I love to
(24:34):
see when people do the right things.
Speaker 3 (24:36):
I love to see them rewarding.
Speaker 5 (24:38):
How about if they lose.
Speaker 6 (24:39):
If they lose and they're two and two and say
everything that happened during the regular season, they were five
and five their last ten, say it catches up and
they were able to win those two playoff games. But
you look at them and go threes with some of
the issues. Three playoff games, these are some of the
issues that they had all year. How would you look
at what they've done in their run it's a loss
(25:00):
instead of a win coming.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
I would still say it's a dynasty, the house of
the dynasty.
Speaker 15 (25:06):
Because they've had a high level of success over extended
period of time.
Speaker 3 (25:10):
You're talking still a six year window.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
A dynasty is about winning two championships in there's two champions.
Speaker 5 (25:16):
No, no, no, they're not two in a row.
Speaker 6 (25:18):
Though, Solomon hold On, let me give you my definite
I got it, okay to me. A dynasty you gotta
win three.
Speaker 5 (25:26):
Out of four.
Speaker 6 (25:28):
Two like, you gotta win at least two in a row.
And you got to me minus three in a row
or three out of four, so you could you could
have a.
Speaker 5 (25:35):
Nobody's won three in a row.
Speaker 6 (25:37):
No, no, no, but wait a minute when we talk
about it, but the Cowboys won three out of four
and that's the last thing that they're a dynasty to me,
the Patriots. When I look at teams, you know, winning, Uh.
We talk about the Spurs all the time. Oh, the
Spurs won five championships.
Speaker 5 (25:53):
Over twenty years. That's not a dynasty. You know, it's
a good organization. No, they weren't. Do you think five
champions on the twenty that's not a dynasty.
Speaker 3 (26:04):
They had their run. It was dynastic.
Speaker 5 (26:07):
It was odd, but it asty, you know.
Speaker 3 (26:09):
I think there was. I look, they were, they were
the dominant.
Speaker 5 (26:13):
Team, right they were. They went years without winning. They
never even went back to back. They never went back
to back.
Speaker 3 (26:20):
That's your I think that's your criteria.
Speaker 5 (26:22):
I don't think it has to be look it up
in the dictionary. I'm right.
Speaker 15 (26:25):
No, no, I saying they I think even if even
if the Chiefs don't win back to back.
Speaker 3 (26:30):
I think they have done it. You look at the
number of wins they have.
Speaker 15 (26:34):
Two champs said they would have two championships in five years,
and they would have these multiple runs dominating the AFC,
but yet still getting there and winning when they got there.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
It's not like they went oh for like the Buffalo Bills.
Speaker 15 (26:48):
Right, Maybe they didn't win your back to back, but
I think they check all the other boxes all right.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
I will also I agree with rob on that I
think they gotta win to be this dynasty now. If
they don't win the Mahone dynasty, if you will, it's
still going if they win.
Speaker 5 (27:05):
I'm not saying it's ober, but it ain't a dynasty
they lose.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
So Solomon, what are your thoughts on this matchup? I,
for one, I don't know who I'm picking yet, but
I think that I'm surprised that the Niners were favorite
the way they looked up Thescs compared to the way
the Chiefs have looked in the playoffs.
Speaker 5 (27:27):
I think the Chiefs should be favored.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
But how do you how do you assess this game
and what's your feeling on what could happen.
Speaker 3 (27:34):
I'm okay with the forty nine ers being favored.
Speaker 15 (27:37):
And here is why fourth team in NFL history have
a four thousand yard passer and then four guys who've
had over a thousand yards from scrimmage. That's a potent
offense now. And it's not like they don't have a
great offensive line.
Speaker 7 (27:50):
They do.
Speaker 3 (27:50):
They can bludge in you.
Speaker 15 (27:52):
So they can run it, they can throw it, and
they can put up a lot of big time plays.
And I think they have a lot of matchup in managers.
So you said, Okay, the offense can go through Christian
McCaffrey and we know they're going to be productive. Oh no,
this week, We're offense is going to go through Deebo
Samuel and they can be productive.
Speaker 3 (28:08):
Oh no, this week it's gonna be Brandon Ayyuk. They
can have Kyle hus Check.
Speaker 15 (28:13):
Maybe won't be the primary, but he could be a
secondary guy that can win his matchup. So they have
multiple different ways where they can really provide an explosive
offense that could give the Chiefs problem. So I could
see them scoring a lot of points in this game.
And obviously you got Patrick Mahomes. This guy's the grim Reaper.
He can score points and score in a hurry so
(28:35):
I see it being a high scoring game. I have
Kansas City winning it, but that's only because I'm giving
the benefit of the doubt to what I know about
Patrick Mahons.
Speaker 6 (28:45):
My thing is when you look at the forty nine Ers,
they should have lost it first two playoff games. There's
something about teams that, you know what I mean, that
can come back and win even when they're not playing great.
I mean, they should have lost to the Packers, and
definitely without Dan Campbell, the line beat them.
Speaker 5 (29:00):
I mean, the line should know that, you.
Speaker 15 (29:02):
Know what, before that pay before that Packers game. I
think under Kyle Shanahan, his teams were thirty thirty. We're
losing by seven points, and then they have a comfort
behind wind in both of these postseasons.
Speaker 5 (29:15):
That makes any sense, right, It's kind of weird, all right, Chris.
Speaker 6 (29:18):
We also have doctor Chad Hansen here with us as well,
and he's the Raiders team physician and doc. You and
Solomon are both here on behalf of MACY and uh
tell us about that.
Speaker 14 (29:31):
So MACY is a procedure where we can repair cartilage
injuries and knees and hopefully help people avoid future problems,
including knee replacements. So you take and you harness the
patient's own cells to grow new healthy cartilage.
Speaker 5 (29:47):
So you have to do that.
Speaker 6 (29:48):
Okay, so you you do this before you even know
that they need it, is what I'm trying to say.
When do you start to take from them?
Speaker 14 (29:55):
So you'll see the cardilige defect on MRI and then
you'd go in do it arthroscopy or a scope is
commonly called, and there you can measure the lesion. You
can take and harvest the cartilage from that patient. You
send the cartilage off, you grow it in a lab. Wow,
and then you come back and you seal that man
cover hole.
Speaker 3 (30:16):
That's amazing something. And you're using your own sales.
Speaker 5 (30:18):
That's what I'm saying. That's what I was so shocked about.
Speaker 15 (30:21):
That's what they call an atolicous science. And so using
your own sales. Don't have to worry about a match.
It's been widely successful and it's it's really you probably
heard of other different procedures where they prick the bone
and they have to do other different things and that's
not long lasting. This has proven to last over time.
And again, using your own sales for healing. I don't
(30:44):
know that there's a better way, and that.
Speaker 6 (30:48):
Is it's unbelievable what can be done nowadays and how
quickly people come back from injuries or whatever. Even though
we never thought Aaron Rodgers was coming back despite all that,
we were like, hey, no way, you know that, like,
you ain't getting back out there. You can walk around
and throw the ball all you want.
Speaker 15 (31:05):
Not from that history, not from that torn Achilles Stanton.
Now you're gonna have to go through the process. The
body is saying, there are no short cuts to being
able to heal yourself. And look, just go to the
website at Macy dot com, maci dot com find a
doctor in your area to find out more about the
Macy procedure. Very innovative and a new and really important
(31:27):
way to treat people who are dealing with cartilage damage.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
All right, that is our man, Solomon will Cots, former
NFL defensive back. Check him out on Serious XM NFL Radio.

Speaker 7 (32:37):
Why I'm here?
Speaker 3 (32:38):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (32:38):
I didn't know that here man, I didn't know that. Okay,
you're avoiding Radio Row.
Speaker 6 (32:47):
Huh.
Speaker 5 (32:47):
It's a it's a deluge here, my god, with all
this water.
Speaker 7 (32:51):
I'm gonna be at Radio Row on your Wednesday.
Speaker 1 (32:54):
Okay, get all your interviews when they pay them, you
know what I mean, when they pay the big dollars.
Speaker 5 (32:59):
I hear well. So let me let me say this
real quick, Chris, Okay, real quick.
Speaker 6 (33:06):
So we just got a report from the big media
h scrum Chris at the stadium where they got all
the players and everything, and the biggest line Rod and
Chris is not around Patrick Mahomes.
Speaker 5 (33:18):
Guess who it's.
Speaker 6 (33:19):
Around Rock Party, No Kelsey over Taylor Swift. It's about
That's where everybody is. Patrick Mahomes is sitting there twiddling
his stumps. What what is the league turned into?
Speaker 7 (33:32):
Rod Man? Well, we know the league soft already, right,
we know, we do know that. That's because the rules
and all that.
Speaker 5 (33:41):
This is crazy.
Speaker 7 (33:43):
But the what's crazy is just watching how they are
feel in love and now maybe maybe maybe these two
are going to be married and and and have five
kids and be together for the next fifty years. Maybe
that's gonna happened. I have no idea. But what the
league is smart? In one then they know that if
(34:06):
they give love to Taylor Swift, she's gonna have her
swifties and they gonna follow her. They're gonna watch the
game because they might see her there more eyes. So
that's I mean, is it smart?
Speaker 1 (34:20):
Yeah?
Speaker 11 (34:21):
Are we all tired of it?
Speaker 7 (34:23):
Absolutely?
Speaker 5 (34:24):
I'm tired of it. I don't I'm not even against her.
I'm just taught. I want to watch football.
Speaker 6 (34:29):
I don't want to see her The cuttings my god,
how many times are you going to show her during
the game?
Speaker 7 (34:34):
I know, definitely.
Speaker 5 (34:37):
Love that, you know, yeah, wouldn't be watching the game otherwise.
Speaker 7 (34:42):
Absolutely, There you go, that's right, that's right. They brought
in another another group of audience, the captive audience that
they got for every time that the Chiefs are playing.
And Taylor Swift's at the game, Yeah.
Speaker 5 (34:53):
Until Kelsea breaks up with her, and then they won't
be watching.
Speaker 1 (34:56):
Okay, just speaking of Kelsey, he he said, I don't
know if it was yesterday or day before, but he said, recently,
George Kittle's the best tight end and football. I really
praised him. And then one of the former Chiefs players
who played under Andy Reid, he tweeted out that Andy
Reid would get more upset with players if they said
(35:18):
something negative about an opponent that could be used as
bulletin board material than if they messed up in the game.
Speaker 5 (35:25):
So my question to you is, is bulletin board material real?
Speaker 9 (35:30):
Like?
Speaker 5 (35:30):
Do you think that really has any impact?
Speaker 1 (35:33):
And did you ever use it or fear saying something
or somebody else on your team saying something that might
give the opponent bulletin board material.
Speaker 7 (35:42):
No, I really didn't care what my players are saying.
I mean I used it one time when I was
getting ready for the Super Bowl in ninety five. Mike
Bird was talking crazy, saying it he can't come back
from ACL might use that, but I really didn't use
it to get better because I was already working out.
But when I made a play, I let him know
what he was talking about.
Speaker 5 (36:03):
Did you really, no, fool?
Speaker 7 (36:04):
Yeah, that's when I pointed at my knee in the
Super Bowl when I broke up the route, I was like, now,
it's like, the knee is fine, and if you to
do it down, I was gonna pick it. I mean,
I did that so I get where. You know, guys
can't get that material and it gives them some type
of motivation. But at the end of the day, let
us a super Bowl. You better be motivated to players
(36:25):
super ill. What they say nights about you, what they
say against you. You need to be able to go
out there and play your best football, you know. And
it's you know, if you think about the forty nine ers,
the forty nine ers, man, they'll play lights out football,
and you got a hope that the defense plays the
way they did at the beginning of the year comparable
(36:46):
to the way they finished because they finished up, they
didn't finished as strong as they did when they thirsty. It.
If they can do that and they can stay in
the game, they can't get behind by fourteen and put
all their pressure on Brock thirty. If they can stay
real close in that game, keep that game close or
get the lead, I think the advantage goes to the
forty nine ers. I think they can get pressure like
(37:08):
the Ravens did in the second half. I think they
can get that pressure with their guys without bringing blitzers
like the Ravens had to do in the second half.
They can do that and they can still play their
own cover because in some of their man so I
think it's gonna be a really good game. It's gonna
be fun to watch.
Speaker 1 (37:26):
How much of a an advantage Kansas City's obviously been here,
you know, recently, and they know how it is with
the pregame is longer than usual, the halftimes longer than usual,
you know what I mean, all this stuff that goes
with the Super Bowl because it's a unique game. How
much of an advantage is that for a team that's
(37:47):
been there a few times versus one that hasn't And
do you think that can have any impact on the result.
Speaker 7 (37:53):
Noah, I don't think there's a real advantage to it.
I mean, it's at the end of the day, the
halftime is a little longer, but the game is the
same way. I feels the same size, right, I mean,
it's the only difference is that there's a bunch of
eyeballs and a bunch of cameras that's going to be
flash and when the opening kickoff starts. But at the
end of the day, well left. When I went to
the raven in two thousand and we went to the
(38:14):
Super Bowl, there's only two of us, myself and Channon Sharp.
I believe that ever went to the Super Bowl. But
we went there and we I mean we waxed right
the Giants. So does it really matter? No, I don't
think it matters. I think I think the forty nine
ers have enough leaders that they can go out there
(38:34):
without that experience so called in the Super Bowl because
they know how to play. They're not how to play football.
They're not to play in the National Football League Yet
a half times is going to be bigger or longer.
Excuse me, but I don't think that's going to really matter.
I don't think it's not an effect of the game.
Speaker 5 (38:47):
How about the forty nine ers. The thing that I'm
most impressed by, Rod is that they should have lost both.
Speaker 1 (38:55):
Of their playoff games, and somehow they were able to
come back and win those games.
Speaker 5 (39:03):
And I think that that counts for something. I really
do want team, don't you?
Speaker 6 (39:07):
Don't you they have something because the Packers should have
beat them, and really the Lions were ready to snap
their necks and they let them get off.
Speaker 5 (39:15):
The mat and they came back and won that game
going away.
Speaker 7 (39:19):
Yeah, I mean it's for me, you know. I mean,
obviously the Lions kicking Hill Gold, they those two killgos,
they win their football game. But what I what that
being said, I think you have to give that grit,
that determination, that perseverance of the of the forty nine
ers and how they overcome not playing their best football
right still and still one and then I'm pretty sure
(39:41):
they're talking about that, Hey, no, we did not play
our we have not played our best football yet in
the postseason. And but once we get to the Super Bowl,
you put one good game together. You're bringing Allenbardi kirkhy
back home when you're getting the Super Bowl in and
I'm pretty sure that's going to be the message sitting
there in that locker room. Put the forting on it,
right this.
Speaker 1 (39:59):
I know this is simp ballistic, but if I'm the Niners,
I'm like, Kelsey is not beating us. And I've said that,
you know the people, and they're like, yeah, everybody says
that they're gonna stop Kelsey and nobody does it in
the playoffs.
Speaker 5 (40:16):
How you were obviously a great defensive player.
Speaker 7 (40:20):
Is it?
Speaker 5 (40:21):
How do you stop him or at least slow him
down where he's not dominating the game like he did against.
Speaker 1 (40:25):
Baltimore and make Rashid Rice and mvs and all these
other guys beat you rather than having Kelsey do it.
Speaker 7 (40:33):
Okay, if Bill Belichick was coaching, what would Bill Belichick
do to Kelsea?
Speaker 5 (40:39):
I think you take him out of the game somehow.
Speaker 7 (40:41):
Yeah, but he's gonna press him, right, He's gonna pressing,
and he's gonna hit him with the outside backer defensive end.
Anytime Kelsey's around the core, he's gonna take that defensive
end moving two three feet two or three yards outside
a little bit wider. He's gonna hit Kelsey first and
then go to the quarterback. He's like, we ain't give
him your release today, And that's that was my That's
(41:03):
the mind that you have to have where you know,
you look at the Baltimore even in the first half,
they didn't they never.
Speaker 5 (41:09):
Touched him, which ridiculous, yet a free release.
Speaker 7 (41:11):
And you know, that's one of the things that when
you have a player who's having a day like that
or you know how good he can be, you got
to you gotta do something. You gotta take something away
from their game plan. And I would believe that the
forty nine ers are gonna do something where they're not
gonna let this guy just have a free release. They're
(41:32):
gonna make a tough on him, and they make it
tough on him, then hopefully the pressure can get there
to quarterback, get back to Patrick Mahomes and make him
throw the ball, you know, sooner, or hold onto it
too long and get a sack.
Speaker 6 (41:45):
I'm gonna say, I know we're gonna talk about Kyle
Shanahan by coming up later. All right, We're gonna do that,
But let me ask you about uh, the forty nine
ers are complaining about the practice feel that they have
to practice on.
Speaker 5 (41:56):
I guess the league, uh put grass on top of turf.
Speaker 1 (42:00):
So they're they're saying like yeah, like like like that
don't even sound right, Rod, Like that could mess you
up to.
Speaker 7 (42:08):
Wait, where do you practice practice?
Speaker 5 (42:11):
They're u n l v U n LV, but they
put they put grass on top of the turf.
Speaker 7 (42:17):
I never heard of that one. Now, Yeah, that's that's
that was I would it's gonna be there's gonna be
a lot softer and you're gonna have movement.
Speaker 6 (42:27):
That's it that they're complaining like crazy, like they don't
like the setup of what they have. But I guess
there's a lot of things that will figure in there.
And the last thing I want to ask you about
is just a quick on Shanahan.
Speaker 3 (42:40):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (42:41):
You know, everybody says he's this offensive genius.
Speaker 6 (42:44):
He's done terrible in big games, and uh, at some point, Rod,
don't you have to win?
Speaker 7 (42:52):
You gotta have you know, you look at his you know,
his teams when they're trailing in the fourth quarter, it's
not a good record, right, and then.
Speaker 5 (43:00):
They want to after they right after they were thirty right.
Speaker 7 (43:03):
Right, So everybody knows that, and he he knows it.
He's a good coach though. I mean, let's get it straight.
He is a really good coach. Man, he is. He's
one of the better off of the coaches in the
National Football League.
Speaker 5 (43:18):
Still got to win, though, Rod, Don't you come on.
Speaker 6 (43:20):
Nobody ever says that Marv Levy's the greatest coach every
went the four straight Super Bowls.
Speaker 5 (43:25):
Why don't they say it?
Speaker 7 (43:26):
Oh, you you still have to win now. I'm not
saying that Kyle Shanahan is one of the best coach ever.
I'm just saying he's a really good football coach. And
what I know, he knows he has to win for
this football team. In this team, if you watch them
play when they're in the thicket things, especially late in
the games, they normally pull him out. But when they
(43:48):
get behind and you got to put all that pressure
on brock Purty to kind of be somebody he's not.
And I'm not saying he's not a really good quarterback,
because I think he is. He has to find the
open receivers. You got to throw the ball to girl
for all that matters. I just think you can't put
that much pressure where they don't run the football and
they're behind. They got to get to a Pappy game
(44:10):
and it's all dropped back and you put all their
pressure on brock Purty. You can't do that. When they're
running the football with the best running back of the
National Football League and then doing the play action passes,
that's when this offense is the best. And that's when
the football team is the best.
Speaker 5 (44:25):
All right, Speaking of the best, that's our man RYE.
Woods in the Hall of Famer. Thank you, brother. We

Speaker 1 (02:57):
On the social media, is it the great one?
Speaker 5 (03:01):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (03:01):
And Sager Patel and of course on the SA our
man Steve Disager.
Speaker 5 (03:11):
All right, Rob, let's get into it. I don't know, Rob,
Do we have the quote?
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Is there sound of mahomes or is this a Was
this the quote?
Speaker 8 (03:21):
It was given to NFL Networks Jeff Darlington. I had
the editing staff effort to find some sound. They could
not find it. Bat, I do have the quote you
are referring to, chrisper.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Sorry, okay, why don't you read us it to us?
This is from two time MVP, two times Super Bowl champion,
pretty much very widely regarded as the best quarterback. Not
every no, but widely regarded as the best quarterback in
the league. That means there's a few exceptions, but very few.
But anyway, here's Patrick Mahomes on being a villain.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
That's right.
Speaker 8 (03:53):
Jeff Darlington asked him if he senses that he's become
a villain to other fan bases, specifically in comparison to
the Patriots and how they were considered villains during their
run with Tom Brady, Bill Belichick, Patrick Mahomes quote, I
can definitely sense it. I never felt like that because
I've never been like that in my entire life. But
it's become a little bit funny. I don't want to
(04:15):
say you enjoy it. I know the Patriots had that
for a while. I hope we do any different way,
with a little bit more fun and personality. But as
long as you keep winning, teams start to not like you.
And I want to keep winning. So if that means
some of the other teams other fan bases aren't gonna
like me, I'll still try to have a smile on
my face and I'd be a bad example. But I
can be that villain for them if they need me
(04:37):
to be.
Speaker 6 (04:39):
The biggest non story and fake narrative I've ever heard
in NFL Super Bowl history. Wow, the Kansas City Chiefs
are not the bad guys or villains. Can we stop?
The Patriots had a lot of reasons why you didn't
like them, Okay, starting with the cheating.
Speaker 5 (04:59):
Okay, Chris, can we start?
Speaker 4 (05:01):
They'll do it.
Speaker 5 (05:02):
That'll do it where you want to cheat.
Speaker 6 (05:04):
Some fan bases as the Raiders with the tuck rule, right,
Rob g that's why you hate the Patriots. They cheated.
How about Bill Belichick. That's a rosy guy that you
want to hang out with, or you think he's a
cool guy. No, all shuck's Tom Brady. He's another guy
(05:26):
make you want to throw up in your mouth. Wow,
just wit just the way here?
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Yeah, all right, some people, not everybody, like you said,
not everybody, but this notion that the Kansas City Chiefs
are the bad guys.
Speaker 5 (05:41):
They got a.
Speaker 6 (05:42):
Coaching and Andy Reid who lost so many big games
people couldn't even count. They look at Andy Reid and
they think he's a Pillsbury dough boy and they want
to push their finger into his stomach. They don't look
at that guy as a bad guy. They want to
pass the menu at Denny's. That's what they want to
do to any Weed. They don't hate Andy Weed and
(06:11):
Proderick Mahomes. He hasn't won every game, they lost the
Super Bowl. That the Dame Patrick Mahomes has done nothing
to anybody. Chris, he's a he's a talented quarterback. They've
won a couple of Super Bowls. Yes, they've gone to
the Super Bowl four to five years. I understand maybe
that jealousy, maybe a little jealousy, but hate the Kansas
(06:36):
City Chiefs preposterous, dumb, lazy, really, that that's the narrative
going on, that they're the villains. I don't buy that
for one second, that the Kansas City Chiefs or some
villain of the NFL.
Speaker 5 (06:52):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
They're not the quote unquote evil empire, right like the
Yankees have been as disliked as the Patriots were, and
like you said, there were reasons for the Patriots cheating.
They're not view like the Miami Heat were when Lebron
(07:16):
and Wade and Bosh first teamed up.
Speaker 5 (07:19):
But Rob, I.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Do since a growing, if not dislike pulling against the Chiefs.
I do feel like there is a growing group of
fans throughout the country pulling against the Chiefs. They are
not beloved. Obviously some people love them outside of Kansas City,
(07:45):
but they are not just beloved like say the Jordan
Bulls were, And there is like there were there were
surveys showing the overwhelming majority of people were pulling for Baltimore,
just outside the Baltimore and Kansas City, pulling for them
to beat the Chiefs. And I think, as you said, Andy,
(08:07):
Reid very likable, Patrick Mahomes very likable, Travis Kelsey dating
Taylor Swift like all of that. But I think it
stems from people just tiring of the winning. Like if
they win it this year and the heck they've gotten
to the super Bowl at the very least, then if
(08:29):
your other AFC fan bases, you're like, man, when are
we gonna get to the Super Bowl?
Speaker 3 (08:35):
This year?
Speaker 5 (08:35):
They were eleven and six, they.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
Played five hundred football for the second half of the season.
They the offense wasn't close to what it used to be,
and they still got to the Super Bowl. I think
that's what it is. And yeah, Joe Burrow on the
Bengals beat them once. They've been the four out of
the last five Super Bowls, So I agree. It's not
(08:57):
a hatred because they're unlike likable in any sort of way.
Speaker 5 (09:02):
But I do feel like people are.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Tiring of them winning it and just feeling like, how
in the world are we gonna beat them? And it's
our rob because it's very different from as I mentioned,
the Jordan Bulls.
Speaker 5 (09:16):
They were generally beloved all over.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
The country, not in Detroit. That's the yeah, right, because
they bad boys.
Speaker 6 (09:26):
People who have never worn of Jordan's or won't buy
him in Detroit. You know that over that they hated
Michael Jordan.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
I believe that, but they're They're in the overwhelming minority,
and get over it.
Speaker 5 (09:37):
You're jealous souls.
Speaker 6 (09:38):
Look at anyway, but you use the right word jealous,
and that's what. There's a difference between being jealous and
hating the Kansas City Chiefs. If you want to say, Chris,
there are some teams of fan bases that are jealous.
I'll buy that. But I don't think that anybody hates
the chief.
Speaker 5 (09:56):
But I think I agree that they're not just likable.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
In fact, I would look at them and think, why
can't they be like you know, if they keep winning,
why can't.
Speaker 5 (10:05):
They be like the Jordan bulls.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Mahoons is exciting, he's fun, he's a good guys and
the commercials like Michael Jordan used to be.
Speaker 5 (10:12):
The coach is likable. All of these things going on.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
But I think Rob and I give credit to Nick Wright,
my partner on first things First, for saying this.
Speaker 5 (10:21):
I thought this was a good point.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
He said it may have come too fast. I mean,
Mahmes right away as soon as he started his second year,
he was dominated through for fifty touchdowns over five thousand
yards when MVP. The next year they win the Super
Bowl with Jordan, it was you know, he didn't win
it until his seventh.
Speaker 5 (10:43):
Year, Rob and you mentioned Detroit.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
They kept beating him, and so there was this feeling
that he had overcome and he had fought hard and
earned his strikes and you know, crawled his way to
the top of the mountain, and so when he got there,
you could feel good about it. And I wonder if
to some people at least, it feels like, man, we
never saw them struggle for the most part. I mean, they,
(11:09):
like you said, they haven't won it every year. Excuse me,
but they have become dominant in very short order. And
I agree they're not hated, but I do say that
narrative are pulling against them, pulling a lot of people
are pulling against them.
Speaker 5 (11:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (11:26):
I think it's a jealousy factor more than anything. Again,
I just hate I just don't see it.
Speaker 5 (11:33):
I just don't. I don't. I don't feel that.
Speaker 6 (11:35):
I think there are people who really hate the Patriots,
who really feel like.
Speaker 5 (11:39):
You know, they they got stuff, they're cheating.
Speaker 6 (11:42):
We don't even know the scope of their cheating, Like
we know a little bit, but if we were to
pull a curtain back, Chris, it would be really bad
and we'd be like, oh my god, it was worse
than we ever thought. I think there are people who
will never give the Patriots their full credit, their full
due because they don't feel like it was above board
(12:02):
the entire way and that and that says something they
should be celebrated. Really if this was patriots, no right,
if the Patriots had done it.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
But there are people that dislike them, but they not
that those are those cheating alligators or not even allegations,
just scandals.
Speaker 5 (12:21):
They did, they got, they got. That has not stopped.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
Most people from saying Brady's to go, or most people
from Sam Belichick's to go.
Speaker 5 (12:29):
Well, I think this till they very celebrated.
Speaker 6 (12:32):
Who are looking at it and they don't, They probably
should be celebrated more to me, And I just think
it's the underlying thing that eventually will find out.
Speaker 5 (12:41):
There'll be some other I'm just waiting for, you know,
I'm waiting for the book The full scope.
Speaker 6 (12:47):
Eric Mangini gave us a taste, but there's a book
out there.
Speaker 5 (12:49):
That I want to read, Why don't you write it?
Speaker 6 (12:54):
Michael Holly, He's the one Michael Holly up there in Boston.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
He's written several he had written that. Yeah, but those
are all speculating. Those are all cotton candy books that.
Speaker 5 (13:05):
He was speculating. Of course, I'm just speculing. I don't
have anything, you know. That's why I said I can't
write anything. I'm in LA. So you're speculating that there's
more out there. Yeah, that's all. I don't have anything.
Let's see, Let's see what the listeners think.

I don't know what Rob is up. Money shot take.
Speaker 11 (16:15):
No lives there.
Speaker 7 (16:16):
I had to take no, what do you got.
Speaker 11 (16:20):
I live in an area of the country that no
one really there's no there's no home team, and everybody
kind of picks.
Speaker 7 (16:26):
Their own team.
Speaker 11 (16:28):
There's just not a team very close, so there's a
lot of varying opinions. And going into last well week
before last AFC Conference Championship game, you know, of course
I was cheering for Kansas City because they were playing
a Steelers rival, the Steelers rival, so all week long,
(16:48):
people are like, who you got, I'm all Kansas City,
can't City? They go, I'm not betting to get some homes.
I'm cheering for Kansas City. And people are like why,
why are you cheering for Kansas City? And I'm like why,
and I kept here I hate Kansas City. I'm like why.
Speaker 7 (17:02):
I'm tired of them winning.
Speaker 11 (17:03):
So they are slowly becoming Vielins, even though they've done
nothing to Now I ask you a question. I know
the Patriots gave you reasons, but if the Patriots had
cheated and never won, nobody would even talk about it.
Speaker 7 (17:16):
You gotta win to be hated.
Speaker 5 (17:18):
No, there's I agree with everything you said. I don't
disagree with that. Yeah, I agree with everything you.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
Said, and I would Rob, Why do you want they
wouldn't be viewed like the Bulls. You got a transcendent
quarterback star like you have. Jordan was a transcendent star.
Speaker 5 (17:39):
You know, the Bulls never lost. I think it was Jordan's.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
But I'm just saying when when you never lose, there's
something about like they never saw you.
Speaker 5 (17:51):
Lose lose before they got there.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
On the bigger stage, though, I just think that there's
something about Jordan and the winning.
Speaker 5 (17:59):
As how he's just yeah, everybody love me. Yeah, there's
just something about it.
Speaker 6 (18:04):
Charles in Washington, you're in the odd couple Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 5 (18:08):

Speaker 5 (18:18):
Man on.
Speaker 13 (18:22):
MA Homes gets hate for I mean, for different reasons,
but to me, it's.
Speaker 7 (18:27):
It's opened everything. You know, they've been winning so much.
Speaker 12 (18:29):
You know, he looks the way he looks me personally,
what you.
Speaker 5 (18:32):
Make Wait wait you said he looks the way he
looks What does that mean?
Speaker 13 (18:36):
They get some of the same hay that step Curry
gets with the Warriors.
Speaker 7 (18:39):
Man.
Speaker 12 (18:39):
You know, like I said, I'm t skin because I'm
somewhere between like Robert Oregon You Chris honestly like what
Shade is like. And if summertime I'm more like Jim
Jackson Robert, or in the winter time when I get
no sunshine, I'm more like you. I'm watch staffs like
I go from carry out to corn torup.
Speaker 7 (18:54):
That's what Rob?
Speaker 5 (18:56):
Where are you at on that?
Speaker 14 (18:57):
You?
Speaker 5 (18:58):
You? You hate? You? Do you think that's a factor
because he's light skinned? No, No, I just don't.
Speaker 7 (19:04):
He could be.
Speaker 13 (19:05):
Great small Naessa Robbie right by Jordan, because Jordan's what
I was about Jordan, espcially by the Yoka's dog.
Speaker 7 (19:12):
The winning is the winning.
Speaker 13 (19:13):
But he was so smooth with him, man like the
way he moved like that he had a combination of
about leticism. Plus it was hard not like.
Speaker 5 (19:20):
And he had and he had so much he had.
Speaker 6 (19:23):
He had so much swagger he made having the ball
head look good like Chris. There was so many things
about him for real. And Michael Jordan was a dark
skinned guy, you know what I mean. He wasn't like
some fly guy, you.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
Know, what everybody says, he made dark he made dark
skinned Brothers, put Dark Brothers in style.
Speaker 5 (19:47):
No, I mean he he had I.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
Think he I think first one, I guess it's arguable.
I think he had the best looking game in the
NBA history. The better I mean, I guess some people
might try to argue, I don't know Kyrie or but
Jordan's game was just Doctor j obviously is up there.
Speaker 5 (20:05):
But Jordan's game, Yeah, Donald Man, Thanks, thanks Chawles.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
We're appreciating the shoes and the shoes and and and
to this day, still twenty five.
Speaker 5 (20:16):
Years, I think they're there. I don't think there's a doubt.
Speaker 7 (20:19):
Rob.
Speaker 5 (20:20):
They're more popular now.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
They that's more popular they weren't in thet Jordans. Oh yeah,
big time. Mark and Sacramento. Man, Mark, you're on the
odd couple of Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 5 (20:30):
What's up?
Speaker 7 (20:30):
What's going on? What's going on, gentlemen, what's up? Money?
Speaker 5 (20:34):
It's the shoes.
Speaker 7 (20:39):
So that's a big part of it because of the
coach of the shoes created. Not to say Michael Jordan
was Michael Jordan.
Speaker 12 (20:44):
We all know that, but you have to add the
cultural part of the shoes kind of like Ellens and
culture part of his dress. He changed me there how
you dressed yep, the corn rows.
Speaker 6 (20:56):
You know what's crazy, though, is when the tattoo thing.
When I remember when I when I remember tattoos, it
would be on like biker white guys, you know, bikers, right, plumbers,
guys in the in the navy or something like.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
That's a war tattoos, you know what I mean, Like,
I don't remember. That's strange that that became such a thing,
but it still is big. I mean, obviously people are
getting tattoos. Yeah, I guess go ahead, mark your thought
on are they hated or just they're just jealousy. I
think there's a lot of jealousy, because it's hard to
(21:31):
hate a guy who sounds like coming the falls.
Speaker 5 (21:35):
He does. Its jealousy, That's what I think it is.
Speaker 12 (21:41):
Have some assholes to be to be, you know, to
be you know, feelings good guys.
Speaker 6 (21:48):
One hundred percent, thanks Mark, one hundred percent, Chris, that
there they are.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
You might not want to see win all the time,
but it's gotta be jealousy like that. Get on your team.
You want your team to win, you want somebody else
to win. Yep, no doubt all right, it is the
odd couple, Chris and Rob Solomon will Cox.
Speaker 5 (22:06):
He's right over there.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
Exit NFL player is around the corner. He'll join us
in a moment.
Speaker 5 (22:12):
All right.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
Our next guest played in the NFL with the Cincinnati
Bengals and a couple of other teams, and now he
has made his mark as a broadcaster, currently with Serious
Excellent in FL. A radio friend of the show, Solomon
will Cott Solomon, what up, brother, Chris?
Speaker 3 (22:30):
How you doing? Good to you? Can you hear me?
Speaker 5 (22:34):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (22:35):
The good to be on with you and Rob.
Speaker 15 (22:38):
Of course, you guys have always been so gracious to
have me on with you, sharing your platform.
Speaker 3 (22:43):
So U good to see you guys.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
Yes, absolutely, brother, great to have you on. And we
were just talking Rob and I about there seems to
be a growing sentiment of people just pulling against the Chiefs.
Patrick Mahomes was asked about it. He said, look, he'll
be the villain if he has to. Do you feel
I mean, Robin concluded on jealousy. They're not hate Patricks,
(23:07):
They're not unlikable like maybe the Patriots and some other
teams have been.
Speaker 5 (23:12):
But where where are you at on the Chiefs.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
And do you think a lot of times, a lot
of people now are starting to pull against them, maybe
because there's a feeling they win in too much.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
Yeah, that's just kind of the trend, right.
Speaker 15 (23:26):
I think professional jealousy does begin to creep in after
you've won and won and continue to win.
Speaker 5 (23:32):
And he's done so.
Speaker 15 (23:33):
At an early clip, like early in his career, right,
twenty eight years old, but yet has accomplished so much.
But he's so wonderful, Like he has all the right
answers in the postgame press conferences.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
He says all the right things, he does all the
right things.
Speaker 15 (23:49):
He knows how to win at clutch time, he gets
to do things other quarterbacks don't get to do, throw
late over the middle of the field, still has things
workout for him, right, he can do a show like
the quarterbacks that Peyton Manning did last year. He can
do that in the middle of the season, not have
it distracting, and still go on to win a Super Bowl.
So I think after a while, people do get tired
(24:12):
of seeing the same group of people win and they
want someone else that's new and so yeah, I think
they've reached that point of success in their career as
the Kansas City chiefs Andy Reid, Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelcey.
Where you're starting to the tide is kind of going
against them a little bit. I'm still for them because
I love when I love excellence, and I love to
(24:34):
see when people do the right things.
Speaker 3 (24:36):
I love to see them rewarding.
Speaker 5 (24:38):
How about if they lose.
Speaker 6 (24:39):
If they lose and they're two and two and say
everything that happened during the regular season, they were five
and five their last ten, say it catches up and
they were able to win those two playoff games. But
you look at them and go threes with some of
the issues. Three playoff games, these are some of the
issues that they had all year. How would you look
at what they've done in their run it's a loss
(25:00):
instead of a win coming.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
I would still say it's a dynasty, the house of
the dynasty.
Speaker 15 (25:06):
Because they've had a high level of success over extended
period of time.
Speaker 3 (25:10):
You're talking still a six year window.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
A dynasty is about winning two championships in there's two champions.
Speaker 5 (25:16):
No, no, no, they're not two in a row.
Speaker 6 (25:18):
Though, Solomon hold On, let me give you my definite
I got it, okay to me. A dynasty you gotta
win three.
Speaker 5 (25:26):
Out of four.
Speaker 6 (25:28):
Two like, you gotta win at least two in a row.
And you got to me minus three in a row
or three out of four, so you could you could
have a.
Speaker 5 (25:35):
Nobody's won three in a row.
Speaker 6 (25:37):
No, no, no, but wait a minute when we talk
about it, but the Cowboys won three out of four
and that's the last thing that they're a dynasty to me,
the Patriots. When I look at teams, you know, winning, Uh.
We talk about the Spurs all the time. Oh, the
Spurs won five championships.
Speaker 5 (25:53):
Over twenty years. That's not a dynasty. You know, it's
a good organization. No, they weren't. Do you think five
champions on the twenty that's not a dynasty.
Speaker 3 (26:04):
They had their run. It was dynastic.
Speaker 5 (26:07):
It was odd, but it asty, you know.
Speaker 3 (26:09):
I think there was. I look, they were, they were
the dominant.
Speaker 5 (26:13):
Team, right they were. They went years without winning. They
never even went back to back. They never went back
to back.
Speaker 3 (26:20):
That's your I think that's your criteria.
Speaker 5 (26:22):
I don't think it has to be look it up
in the dictionary. I'm right.
Speaker 15 (26:25):
No, no, I saying they I think even if even
if the Chiefs don't win back to back.
Speaker 3 (26:30):
I think they have done it. You look at the
number of wins they have.
Speaker 15 (26:34):
Two champs said they would have two championships in five years,
and they would have these multiple runs dominating the AFC,
but yet still getting there and winning when they got there.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
It's not like they went oh for like the Buffalo Bills.
Speaker 15 (26:48):
Right, Maybe they didn't win your back to back, but
I think they check all the other boxes all right.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
I will also I agree with rob on that I
think they gotta win to be this dynasty now. If
they don't win the Mahone dynasty, if you will, it's
still going if they win.
Speaker 5 (27:05):
I'm not saying it's ober, but it ain't a dynasty
they lose.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
So Solomon, what are your thoughts on this matchup? I,
for one, I don't know who I'm picking yet, but
I think that I'm surprised that the Niners were favorite
the way they looked up Thescs compared to the way
the Chiefs have looked in the playoffs.
Speaker 5 (27:27):
I think the Chiefs should be favored.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
But how do you how do you assess this game
and what's your feeling on what could happen.
Speaker 3 (27:34):
I'm okay with the forty nine ers being favored.
Speaker 15 (27:37):
And here is why fourth team in NFL history have
a four thousand yard passer and then four guys who've
had over a thousand yards from scrimmage. That's a potent
offense now. And it's not like they don't have a
great offensive line.
Speaker 7 (27:50):
They do.
Speaker 3 (27:50):
They can bludge in you.
Speaker 15 (27:52):
So they can run it, they can throw it, and
they can put up a lot of big time plays.
And I think they have a lot of matchup in managers.
So you said, Okay, the offense can go through Christian
McCaffrey and we know they're going to be productive. Oh no,
this week, We're offense is going to go through Deebo
Samuel and they can be productive.
Speaker 3 (28:08):
Oh no, this week it's gonna be Brandon Ayyuk. They
can have Kyle hus Check.
Speaker 15 (28:13):
Maybe won't be the primary, but he could be a
secondary guy that can win his matchup. So they have
multiple different ways where they can really provide an explosive
offense that could give the Chiefs problem. So I could
see them scoring a lot of points in this game.
And obviously you got Patrick Mahomes. This guy's the grim Reaper.
He can score points and score in a hurry so
(28:35):
I see it being a high scoring game. I have
Kansas City winning it, but that's only because I'm giving
the benefit of the doubt to what I know about
Patrick Mahons.
Speaker 6 (28:45):
My thing is when you look at the forty nine Ers,
they should have lost it first two playoff games. There's
something about teams that, you know what I mean, that
can come back and win even when they're not playing great.
I mean, they should have lost to the Packers, and
definitely without Dan Campbell, the line beat them.
Speaker 5 (29:00):
I mean, the line should know that, you.
Speaker 15 (29:02):
Know what, before that pay before that Packers game. I
think under Kyle Shanahan, his teams were thirty thirty. We're
losing by seven points, and then they have a comfort
behind wind in both of these postseasons.
Speaker 5 (29:15):
That makes any sense, right, It's kind of weird, all right, Chris.
Speaker 6 (29:18):
We also have doctor Chad Hansen here with us as well,
and he's the Raiders team physician and doc. You and
Solomon are both here on behalf of MACY and uh
tell us about that.
Speaker 14 (29:31):
So MACY is a procedure where we can repair cartilage
injuries and knees and hopefully help people avoid future problems,
including knee replacements. So you take and you harness the
patient's own cells to grow new healthy cartilage.
Speaker 5 (29:47):
So you have to do that.
Speaker 6 (29:48):
Okay, so you you do this before you even know
that they need it, is what I'm trying to say.
When do you start to take from them?
Speaker 14 (29:55):
So you'll see the cardilige defect on MRI and then
you'd go in do it arthroscopy or a scope is
commonly called, and there you can measure the lesion. You
can take and harvest the cartilage from that patient. You
send the cartilage off, you grow it in a lab. Wow,
and then you come back and you seal that man
cover hole.
Speaker 3 (30:16):
That's amazing something. And you're using your own sales.
Speaker 5 (30:18):
That's what I'm saying. That's what I was so shocked about.
Speaker 15 (30:21):
That's what they call an atolicous science. And so using
your own sales. Don't have to worry about a match.
It's been widely successful and it's it's really you probably
heard of other different procedures where they prick the bone
and they have to do other different things and that's
not long lasting. This has proven to last over time.
And again, using your own sales for healing. I don't
(30:44):
know that there's a better way, and that.
Speaker 6 (30:48):
Is it's unbelievable what can be done nowadays and how
quickly people come back from injuries or whatever. Even though
we never thought Aaron Rodgers was coming back despite all that,
we were like, hey, no way, you know that, like,
you ain't getting back out there. You can walk around
and throw the ball all you want.
Speaker 15 (31:05):
Not from that history, not from that torn Achilles Stanton.
Now you're gonna have to go through the process. The
body is saying, there are no short cuts to being
able to heal yourself. And look, just go to the
website at Macy dot com, maci dot com find a
doctor in your area to find out more about the
Macy procedure. Very innovative and a new and really important
(31:27):
way to treat people who are dealing with cartilage damage.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
All right, that is our man, Solomon will Cots, former

Speaker 7 (32:28):
What's up, hard Man? What's up? My brother? My mother? Mother? Hey?
Speaker 5 (32:33):
How are you you going to be in Vegas? Are
you here yet?
Speaker 7 (32:37):
Why I'm here?
Speaker 3 (32:38):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (32:38):
I didn't know that here man, I didn't know that. Okay,
you're avoiding Radio Row.
Speaker 6 (32:47):
Huh.
Speaker 5 (32:47):
It's a it's a deluge here, my god, with all
this water.
Speaker 7 (32:51):
I'm gonna be at Radio Row on your Wednesday.
Speaker 1 (32:54):
Okay, get all your interviews when they pay them, you
know what I mean, when they pay the big dollars.
Speaker 5 (32:59):
I hear well. So let me let me say this
real quick, Chris, Okay, real quick.
Speaker 6 (33:06):
So we just got a report from the big media
h scrum Chris at the stadium where they got all
the players and everything, and the biggest line Rod and
Chris is not around Patrick Mahomes.
Speaker 5 (33:18):
Guess who it's.
Speaker 6 (33:19):
Around Rock Party, No Kelsey over Taylor Swift. It's about
That's where everybody is. Patrick Mahomes is sitting there twiddling
his stumps. What what is the league turned into?
Speaker 7 (33:32):
Rod Man? Well, we know the league soft already, right,
we know, we do know that. That's because the rules
and all that.
Speaker 5 (33:41):
This is crazy.
Speaker 7 (33:43):
But the what's crazy is just watching how they are
feel in love and now maybe maybe maybe these two
are going to be married and and and have five
kids and be together for the next fifty years. Maybe
that's gonna happened. I have no idea. But what the
league is smart? In one then they know that if
(34:06):
they give love to Taylor Swift, she's gonna have her
swifties and they gonna follow her. They're gonna watch the
game because they might see her there more eyes. So
that's I mean, is it smart?
Speaker 1 (34:20):
Yeah?
Speaker 11 (34:21):
Are we all tired of it?
Speaker 7 (34:23):
Absolutely?
Speaker 5 (34:24):
I'm tired of it. I don't I'm not even against her.
I'm just taught. I want to watch football.
Speaker 6 (34:29):
I don't want to see her The cuttings my god,
how many times are you going to show her during
the game?
Speaker 7 (34:34):
I know, definitely.
Speaker 5 (34:37):
Love that, you know, yeah, wouldn't be watching the game otherwise.
Speaker 7 (34:42):
Absolutely, There you go, that's right, that's right. They brought
in another another group of audience, the captive audience that
they got for every time that the Chiefs are playing.
And Taylor Swift's at the game, Yeah.
Speaker 5 (34:53):
Until Kelsea breaks up with her, and then they won't
be watching.
Speaker 1 (34:56):
Okay, just speaking of Kelsey, he he said, I don't
know if it was yesterday or day before, but he said, recently,
George Kittle's the best tight end and football. I really
praised him. And then one of the former Chiefs players
who played under Andy Reid, he tweeted out that Andy
Reid would get more upset with players if they said
(35:18):
something negative about an opponent that could be used as
bulletin board material than if they messed up in the game.
Speaker 5 (35:25):
So my question to you is, is bulletin board material real?
Speaker 9 (35:30):
Like?
Speaker 5 (35:30):
Do you think that really has any impact?
Speaker 1 (35:33):
And did you ever use it or fear saying something
or somebody else on your team saying something that might
give the opponent bulletin board material.
Speaker 7 (35:42):
No, I really didn't care what my players are saying.
I mean I used it one time when I was
getting ready for the Super Bowl in ninety five. Mike
Bird was talking crazy, saying it he can't come back
from ACL might use that, but I really didn't use
it to get better because I was already working out.
But when I made a play, I let him know
what he was talking about.
Speaker 5 (36:03):
Did you really, no, fool?
Speaker 7 (36:04):
Yeah, that's when I pointed at my knee in the
Super Bowl when I broke up the route, I was like, now,
it's like, the knee is fine, and if you to
do it down, I was gonna pick it. I mean,
I did that so I get where. You know, guys
can't get that material and it gives them some type
of motivation. But at the end of the day, let
us a super Bowl. You better be motivated to players
(36:25):
super ill. What they say nights about you, what they
say against you. You need to be able to go
out there and play your best football, you know. And
it's you know, if you think about the forty nine ers,
the forty nine ers, man, they'll play lights out football,
and you got a hope that the defense plays the
way they did at the beginning of the year comparable
(36:46):
to the way they finished because they finished up, they
didn't finished as strong as they did when they thirsty. It.
If they can do that and they can stay in
the game, they can't get behind by fourteen and put
all their pressure on Brock thirty. If they can stay
real close in that game, keep that game close or
get the lead, I think the advantage goes to the
forty nine ers. I think they can get pressure like
(37:08):
the Ravens did in the second half. I think they
can get that pressure with their guys without bringing blitzers
like the Ravens had to do in the second half.
They can do that and they can still play their
own cover because in some of their man so I
think it's gonna be a really good game. It's gonna
be fun to watch.
Speaker 1 (37:26):
How much of a an advantage Kansas City's obviously been here,
you know, recently, and they know how it is with
the pregame is longer than usual, the halftimes longer than usual,
you know what I mean, all this stuff that goes
with the Super Bowl because it's a unique game. How
much of an advantage is that for a team that's
(37:47):
been there a few times versus one that hasn't And
do you think that can have any impact on the result.
Speaker 7 (37:53):
Noah, I don't think there's a real advantage to it.
I mean, it's at the end of the day, the
halftime is a little longer, but the game is the
same way. I feels the same size, right, I mean,
it's the only difference is that there's a bunch of
eyeballs and a bunch of cameras that's going to be
flash and when the opening kickoff starts. But at the
end of the day, well left. When I went to
the raven in two thousand and we went to the
(38:14):
Super Bowl, there's only two of us, myself and Channon Sharp.
I believe that ever went to the Super Bowl. But
we went there and we I mean we waxed right
the Giants. So does it really matter? No, I don't
think it matters. I think I think the forty nine
ers have enough leaders that they can go out there
(38:34):
without that experience so called in the Super Bowl because
they know how to play. They're not how to play football.
They're not to play in the National Football League Yet
a half times is going to be bigger or longer.
Excuse me, but I don't think that's going to really matter.
I don't think it's not an effect of the game.
Speaker 5 (38:47):
How about the forty nine ers. The thing that I'm
most impressed by, Rod is that they should have lost both.
Speaker 1 (38:55):
Of their playoff games, and somehow they were able to
come back and win those games.
Speaker 5 (39:03):
And I think that that counts for something. I really
do want team, don't you?
Speaker 6 (39:07):
Don't you they have something because the Packers should have
beat them, and really the Lions were ready to snap
their necks and they let them get off.
Speaker 5 (39:15):
The mat and they came back and won that game
going away.
Speaker 7 (39:19):
Yeah, I mean it's for me, you know. I mean,
obviously the Lions kicking Hill Gold, they those two killgos,
they win their football game. But what I what that
being said, I think you have to give that grit,
that determination, that perseverance of the of the forty nine
ers and how they overcome not playing their best football
right still and still one and then I'm pretty sure
(39:41):
they're talking about that, Hey, no, we did not play
our we have not played our best football yet in
the postseason. And but once we get to the Super Bowl,
you put one good game together. You're bringing Allenbardi kirkhy
back home when you're getting the Super Bowl in and
I'm pretty sure that's going to be the message sitting
there in that locker room. Put the forting on it,
right this.
Speaker 1 (39:59):
I know this is simp ballistic, but if I'm the Niners,
I'm like, Kelsey is not beating us. And I've said that,
you know the people, and they're like, yeah, everybody says
that they're gonna stop Kelsey and nobody does it in
the playoffs.
Speaker 5 (40:16):
How you were obviously a great defensive player.
Speaker 7 (40:20):
Is it?
Speaker 5 (40:21):
How do you stop him or at least slow him
down where he's not dominating the game like he did against.
Speaker 1 (40:25):
Baltimore and make Rashid Rice and mvs and all these
other guys beat you rather than having Kelsey do it.
Speaker 7 (40:33):
Okay, if Bill Belichick was coaching, what would Bill Belichick
do to Kelsea?
Speaker 5 (40:39):
I think you take him out of the game somehow.
Speaker 7 (40:41):
Yeah, but he's gonna press him, right, He's gonna pressing,
and he's gonna hit him with the outside backer defensive end.
Anytime Kelsey's around the core, he's gonna take that defensive
end moving two three feet two or three yards outside
a little bit wider. He's gonna hit Kelsey first and
then go to the quarterback. He's like, we ain't give
him your release today, And that's that was my That's
(41:03):
the mind that you have to have where you know,
you look at the Baltimore even in the first half,
they didn't they never.
Speaker 5 (41:09):
Touched him, which ridiculous, yet a free release.
Speaker 7 (41:11):
And you know, that's one of the things that when
you have a player who's having a day like that
or you know how good he can be, you got
to you gotta do something. You gotta take something away
from their game plan. And I would believe that the
forty nine ers are gonna do something where they're not
gonna let this guy just have a free release. They're
(41:32):
gonna make a tough on him, and they make it
tough on him, then hopefully the pressure can get there
to quarterback, get back to Patrick Mahomes and make him
throw the ball, you know, sooner, or hold onto it
too long and get a sack.
Speaker 6 (41:45):
I'm gonna say, I know we're gonna talk about Kyle
Shanahan by coming up later. All right, We're gonna do that,
But let me ask you about uh, the forty nine
ers are complaining about the practice feel that they have
to practice on.
Speaker 5 (41:56):
I guess the league, uh put grass on top of turf.
Speaker 1 (42:00):
So they're they're saying like yeah, like like like that
don't even sound right, Rod, Like that could mess you
up to.
Speaker 7 (42:08):
Wait, where do you practice practice?
Speaker 5 (42:11):
They're u n l v U n LV, but they
put they put grass on top of the turf.
Speaker 7 (42:17):
I never heard of that one. Now, Yeah, that's that's
that was I would it's gonna be there's gonna be
a lot softer and you're gonna have movement.
Speaker 6 (42:27):
That's it that they're complaining like crazy, like they don't
like the setup of what they have. But I guess
there's a lot of things that will figure in there.
And the last thing I want to ask you about
is just a quick on Shanahan.
Speaker 3 (42:40):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (42:41):
You know, everybody says he's this offensive genius.
Speaker 6 (42:44):
He's done terrible in big games, and uh, at some point, Rod,
don't you have to win?
Speaker 7 (42:52):
You gotta have you know, you look at his you know,
his teams when they're trailing in the fourth quarter, it's
not a good record, right, and then.
Speaker 5 (43:00):
They want to after they right after they were thirty right.
Speaker 7 (43:03):
Right, So everybody knows that, and he he knows it.
He's a good coach though. I mean, let's get it straight.
He is a really good coach. Man, he is. He's
one of the better off of the coaches in the
National Football League.
Speaker 5 (43:18):
Still got to win, though, Rod, Don't you come on.
Speaker 6 (43:20):
Nobody ever says that Marv Levy's the greatest coach every
went the four straight Super Bowls.
Speaker 5 (43:25):
Why don't they say it?
Speaker 7 (43:26):
Oh, you you still have to win now. I'm not
saying that Kyle Shanahan is one of the best coach ever.
I'm just saying he's a really good football coach. And
what I know, he knows he has to win for
this football team. In this team, if you watch them
play when they're in the thicket things, especially late in
the games, they normally pull him out. But when they
(43:48):
get behind and you got to put all that pressure
on brock Purty to kind of be somebody he's not.
And I'm not saying he's not a really good quarterback,
because I think he is. He has to find the
open receivers. You got to throw the ball to girl
for all that matters. I just think you can't put
that much pressure where they don't run the football and
they're behind. They got to get to a Pappy game
(44:10):
and it's all dropped back and you put all their
pressure on brock Purty. You can't do that. When they're
running the football with the best running back of the
National Football League and then doing the play action passes,
that's when this offense is the best. And that's when
the football team is the best.
Speaker 5 (44:25):
All right, Speaking of the best, that's our man RYE.
Woods in the Hall of Famer. Thank you, brother. We
appreciciate it.
Speaker 7 (44:31):
I appreciate your brothers.
Speaker 5 (44:32):
Turn the water off here in Vegas.
Speaker 1 (44:34):
Okay, all right, all right, moreye couple coming your way,
keep it lot, Fox Sports Radio.
