Speaker 1 (00:01):
Don't the Fox Sports he's a no show for today.
That's coming right up. Good morning on a super Sunday.
Yes it is. This is Fox Football Sunday. He's Bucky
Brooks and Mandy Ferminant. By the way, we're broadcasting live
from the tire rack dot Com studios. Tire rack dot com.
We'll help you get there and unmatched selection, fast free shipping,

(00:25):
tire rac dot com the way tire buying should be here.
He is the formal pro, but he's a pro on
my mind all the time. My guy, Bucky Brooks, Hello, Buck,
how are you? I'm good, I'm good, I'm good. What's
going on in you? Sounded like a million? You look
like ten million. You really do the best. Look, I'm
gonna say this right now, getting off my chest. All
I hear all week long? I'm crying. It is the

(00:47):
end of the football season. Oh. First of all, there's
more football to come. Isn't the XFL gonna be there
like in April? Okay, nip dip pro. So there's gonna
be more football. And I'm tired of the crying because
here's the deal. I've always believed in life, less is more, really,
and and everything food intake everything and everything and anything
less is more. And if they continue to saturate usward

(01:11):
football like on Thursday nights right now, and they want
to increase the schedule to eighteen games, They're gonna kill it.
I mean, maybe I'm wrong, and maybe you disagree. I
just believe less is more everything. I has to have
a starting point, at an ending point, and today's standing point.
Stop crying, period, stop crying, um No. I mean I
think what it does is I think it speaks to

(01:32):
the fascination and the love affair that we have with
the National Football League. When you look at the TV
ratings and you look at the top events, football is
always dominating the top ten. And then when you think
about the fandom um and in terms of how it's
increased over the years. Part of the reasons because the
National Football League is found a way to create a

(01:53):
system where everybody has hope and opportunity. When you have
a team like the Bengals who have been down forever
and they rise back up and they reached the Super
Bowl last year. You think about the Philadelphia Eagles a
few years ago, like they had bad years. Skip, you
don't know how good they're going to be. To bring
in a young quarterback Jaalen Hurst, they flip uh some personnel,
and here they are back in it. And so because

(02:14):
it is the one sport where you can see worst
to first happen quickly, everyone believes that their team can go.
And so there's a fascination in watching. And there's also Look,
as soon as this ends, eyes go right to the
draft and it starts all over again. And so even
though people are sad to see the sport, the game
port leave, I mean, the fascination will still remain. Yeah,

(02:36):
I agree with you. And and look, the program is
laid out to such a way that football is there.
Three you know, they got as you said, they got
the draft coming up and everything else right down the road.
And people love that even though it's not on the field,
game game time, whatever it may be. But but here's
the deal. The program was also set in the same
fashion in the NBA, where everybody could be competitive with

(02:57):
the draft. And you would think that maybe one player
would have of an influence in basketball than it does
in football. But in football, for some reason, it works
better than a basketball think about that. I mean, you
have teams that are downtrodden year in and year out.
For example, the New York Knicks every year. When was
the last thing they won? Fifty years ago, they won
a championship with seventy three It was so right now.

(03:17):
I mean, it just doesn't work as well in the
NBA as it does in the NFL. I don't know why,
but it just doesn't know it doesn't it did. Look,
the National Football League is the ultimate team sport, and
you know, trying to get eleven guys to to play
his one on each side of the ball, UH, down
after down after down its challenging. Whereas in basketball, if
you have to UH dominant players, you really can mask

(03:40):
a lot of your issues. And we've seen it time
and time again, and so I think that's why it
doesn't work. I think, um, the way the NFL has
been marketed and packaged uh in terms of being a team,
you celebrate the team more so than the stars, with
the exception of the quarterbacks. UM, it just makes it
one that is a little more summer friendly and one

(04:01):
that kind of creates these loyal bonds that lasts a lifetime.
You know, because even if your favorite player leaves your
favorite team, it's unlikely that you're going to leave your team,
whereas in basketball, when Lebron James bounces around, you kind
of take your fandom to wherever he is. And so
it's just a difference in the way the game has
been packaged and marketed and the way that we follow

(04:22):
those teams. Yeah, and it's funny pick us in my mind.
To me, the football situation, the National Football League is
in fact a national sport, where I still gotta believe
with baseball and basketball is somewhat regional sports. If you
don't have a franchise in your city, it's very difficult
to route for that team. That's not the case in
football because this gambling, this fantasy football, whatever it may be,

(04:43):
fantasy that's that's really that's the key. I would say
that fantasy football probably like quietly has created the biggest explosion.
When fantasy football really took hold, I don't know, decade,
maybe fifteen years ago, that's when you saw people really
buy into it because it gave you an opportunity to
look at the game without necessarily having a team. It

(05:03):
allows you to follow players had made you have a
vested interest all of the time that's always worked and
right now I don't want to say that the NFL
can't miss but it doesn't appear that they can miss
many when it comes to the way that they promote
the game, the way they market a game, the way
to distribute a game. I knew when fantasy football took
holds when I went to a football game. It was
a local game, was a Bengal game, and I heard

(05:24):
people behind me cheering for the opposite team. No. I
asked the people behind me, what's what's wrong? What are
you doing? Are you not from Cincinnati? They said, no,
we have these players in our fantasy league. That's what
we're rutting for them. So that's basically what it does.
You know, it gets people involved. It gets people to
know players. That's the key. They know these players on
various teams, and they're involved really heavily because there's money

(05:46):
involved and they've been on it. So you don't have
to necessarily root for the team in your region in
your area. You're rooting for your players. That's what you do.
And it's it's ingenious when you think about it, really is.
It's ingenious and other sports really need to pick up
on it. I don't think bacebook could ever do that.
They've tried, but when you play every single day, it's
just too difficult to stay on top of that. Football
is perfect once a week bingo. Yeah, like it's a

(06:09):
really it's a big commitment to play fantasy baseball. I
mean for a hundred and sixty two games that it
takes a lot of concentration and focus and the switching times.
Okay they have a night game. Oh they're playing at
one o'clock. Oh, I gotta keep up with all the
different things. Yeah, rainouts and all that, and then the rotations,
who's in the line up, who's out the lineup? A

(06:30):
lot more to keep up with when as opposed to
um football, which is you know, you kind of know
what it is. Thursday, Uh, Sunday and Monday, those are
the games, and so it makes it easy for you
to set your line up, to keep it with your team,
to pay attention to the news that impacts your players
and your team, whereas the daily hustle it becomes more
of a four time job. Right. I mentioned coming into

(06:52):
the segment, he's a no show for today. I'm talking
about our President JB. Joe Biden he's not gonna have
anything with Fox TV today. You know that to me
is someone of a Super Bowl tradition also making the
pick for the winner the president making a bet. Come on,
I mean, JB have a pair? Really, I mean, You're
not gonna have an interview on Fox. I don't get it.
I mean, you know, a guy can check an opportunity

(07:13):
to get photo ups anywhere anytime. He's not gonna do
it on the super Bowl. I don't just don't understand that.
But that's yeah. But if I'm not mistaking, his wife,
Dr Joe Biden is a huge Eagles fan. I think
she's been at games, she's been in attend It's like,
maybe he's not there, but maybe she'll be there because
of her fandom and those things that. Who knows, man,
I don't much. There's so much going on. There's so

(07:34):
much going on around the game. It's kind of hard
to keep up with who's then, who's out, who's going
to be there. The only thing I do know is
who's participating in a halftime show. And there are a
lot of people excited to see Rihanna perform, right, they
really are, you know, honestly, I was gonna ask you
this question during fucking remembers, But I'll ask you now
how many players that you've played with, former players or

(07:54):
teammates actually attend the Super Bowl because it's a pretty
big number for a ticket. Do you know friends of
yours that have just purchased tickets who had played the
game and go to the Super Bowl? So normally what
what happens Andy Um super Bowl Week is a great
opportunity for everyone to kind of go. And for a
lot of guys, they make money on appearances, they do

(08:14):
the thing on radio row. They attend the party's Wednesday
through Saturday. But normal that the normal routine is you
fly in Wednesday, Thursday, you leave out first thing Sunday
morning so you can get back to your destination to
watch the game. And so, uh, most guys don't go
to the game. And as a current player, you don't

(08:35):
want to go to the game because you want the
you still hold out hope that you're going to play
in the Super Bowl and you want that opportunity to
be fresh so you can take it in. And so
a lot of times you bypass the chance to go
to the game live because you want your first experience
to be when you run out of the tunnel on
your own plane for your team playing for the chip,

(08:56):
as opposed to watching somebody's two other teams played for it.
I hear you. Okay. Now, I've always I've always wondered
about this. I'm gonna throw it out there right now.
I've warned it about people who are not big sports
fans and what they do in a day like today.
Obviously I throw that question out right now. I'm probably
if you're not a big sports fan, you're probably not
listening to us anyway because you don't like sports. But
what do you do? Do you go bowling today? You're

(09:17):
gonna restaurant the movies? You can't go to the library.
Libraries are probably closed. I would love to hear from
at least one person, either by phone at eight seven
seven ninety nine on Fox or on Twitter at Bucky
Brooks at any firm an FSR. Don't be embarrassed. You
can change your name. If you don't like sports, you
like the Super Bowl? What do you do on a
daylight today when the whole world is discussing it, talking

(09:39):
about it and watching it. And I'll go one step further.
I thought about this as well. If you're a TV
news anchor going against the super Bowl because the six
thirty Eastern time usually to have the news on at
that time locally. Okay, if you're working for CBS, NBC
and ABC, you really think anybody's watching you today? Honestly?
Come on, And if I was the news director, I

(10:00):
would suggests that my news actors deliver the news. Get
this in a bathing suit. In a bathing suit, baby,
just to see if anybody's watching, and they gain a
little p R. That's just my thoughts. Put on a
bathing suit, see if anybody's really watching your newscast tonight. Me,
I don't think. I don't think you have many viewers,
a handful of viewers. And when you look at the

(10:20):
number and how many people tune in to watch the
Super Bowl for various reasons. It's even a time when
the casual fan will kind of pop their head in
just to see the commercials, to see the halftime show,
go to a party to be with friends, because it's
the thing to do, um the second Sunday in February.
So look, it's it's a great times. It's a great

(10:41):
time for everyone to kind of get around and use
football that's kind of the vehicle to bring these friendships
and things together. But yeah, I mean they're I guess
they're a handful of people that won't watch the Super Bowl.
I just don't know who those people would because nobody
in my circle would bypass an opportunity to watch Super Bowl,
whether a real fan or a casual And I would
think there are people to be embarrassed to say they
don't and watched the Super Bowl. They don't watch it,
I mean really, because you feel like you're an outcast,

(11:03):
I would think, right. I mean, there are people who
are anti sports, don't like sports, don't follow sports on
a various Sunday. I get that, But the Super Bowl
is like, it's like a social event. People always get together.
Although I'm not into Super Bowl parties, I enjoy watching
the game with my family at home. I just don't
see how people can go to a sports bar or
a party. You just really can't watch the game in

(11:25):
a situation like that. Um, but I can see where
it is. Uh, it's fun because of the energy of
the crowd. Like sometimes I like to take in big
games at a sports bar, even if I don't have
a vested interest in who's playing or what's going to
take place, Just like the energy, you know, the energy
of the crowd, hearing what people are talking about, seeing

(11:46):
them kind of go back and forth and all that.
To me, that part of it is fun. A Super
Bowl though, Like I'm probably a little more locked in
because I'm I'm fascinated by the chess match, the strategy
and the tactics that teams are using. But I'm mean,
if if I had some boys were like, hey, man,
let's go to the spot we got, we got a
reservation at this place, we got a table, would have

(12:06):
been in fright in front of the big TV. I'll
be down to join. Do you think the hype this
week was somewhat less than a previous Super Bowl hypes
because in my mind, the only thing they hyped was
the Kelsey Bowl and Kelsey's mom, Donna. That's all I
heard all week longer. Maybe because I'm in an area
where Kelsey's both played college football, it was a big

(12:27):
deal here, But I just thought the hype was basically
geared around the Kelsey's and that's basically it. Yeah, I mean,
that's that's pretty much the I mean, that storyline, the
storyline regarding the two quarterbacks, a few different storylines. One
two black quarterbacks starty in the Super Bowl to Pat
Mahomes going for his second Super Bowl win? Can't he

(12:48):
do it as an m v P because he won
the second m VP Award at NFL Honors on Thursday. Um,
but outside, I mean, even the Andy Reid uh get
back didn't really resonate with the masses. And so it's
it's weird for two teams that are very popular, two
teams that have large fan bases, you didn't hear a
lot of stuff. And maybe that's because for the Kansas

(13:10):
City Chiefs fans is a little old hat in terms
of they've always kind of been in the tight a
round and beyond. And then for the Philadelphia Eagles, I mean,
it's just a different hustle. You know. They kind of
have the underdog mentality even though they come into the
game viewed by many to be the favorite. Yeah. I
did see something funny in the New York Post the
other day in Philimistic's column. He said, at the bottom

(13:30):
of the column, what time did the Riots start in Philadelphia?
If they win? It's kind of funny because the last
thing when when they're sliding down like lamp posts when
they won. They had a greased down the lamppost down
the streets in Philadelphia when they won. It was crazy. Yeah,
it kind of you know, you know, Philly, Philly is
very interesting. Um what I appreciate about Philly fans or

(13:53):
the passion they are all in, are all out on
their team and the kind of teams to fluctuate quarter
to quarter, half be half. But this, this would be
a this would be a fun one to watch how
they handle this situation. Uh, their young quarterback, their team,
their defense, all of the other stuff that people have
talked about, Like they talked about the team being really loaded,

(14:14):
and so can they fulfill their promise? Because if you
know anyone from Philly, they always view themselves kind of
like the Rocky balboas of the world underdog. No one
gave them a chance with this isn't really one of
those situations where people are talking about them like that. Yeah.
And I'm kind of happy for that coach because he
kind of kind of a bad start when he first
thought of got the Conferenceriani and he's come around full circle.

(14:35):
I kind of like the guy, Now, oh you do
so you like you like him mugging for the camera
after the plays. You like him noding his head and
fist bumping and talking trash. You're okay with that? Yeah,
I am. Actually you like Zach Taylor the channel some
of that, and well, you know, it's funny you talk
about Zach Taylor. I mean, he didn't get one vote
from the AP for Culture of the Year, and I
thought that was weird. I don't think he'd get the

(14:56):
Coach of the Year deal, but not to get one vote,
that's on And then really and truly you look at
the Joe Burrow, he kind of got zoomed out of
it too. As far as Player of the Year, that's
kind of strange for me. I don't know why. Why
is that? You know? I don't know, man. I think
the one thing about m VP voting, uh, the final
month of the season probably carries more weight than anything.

(15:17):
And I don't know if that's necessarily fair when you
think about the way the m v P voting in
my mind should have played out, Yeah, pet Ma Homes
should win it. Like this is great, Like you lose
Tyreek Kill, you put up a five thousand yard season,
You had really a cast of unknowns, outside of like
Travis Kelcey, and maybe you can talk about Juju Smith
Shuster even though he hadn't been the same since his

(15:37):
second season in the league, and he delivered in a
spectacle the way Jason hurts to me should have gotten
more love because the Philadelphia Eagles were expected to be good,
but I don't think many expected him to play the
role that he played in their ascension to the top.
You know, talking about a dude who was playing not
only will as a passer, which people have really picked

(15:59):
apart his game, but he was the second leading brushes.
He had almost eight hundred yards on the ground. And
so to me, you had a chance to see this
team without him. They were owing to we're going to
ment you. And so I thought that that in itself
proved his value and how they needed him. And so
I just felt like he should have had more than
just a handful of boats. He should have been not

(16:19):
necessarily close nipping at Pat mahomes tail, but he certainly
should have had a little more respect for the job
that he did. I agree with you there, all right, Bucky,
I gotta give a bug thank you rut now to
a Twitter friend. I never let the man, Ray Mayor.
He suggested last week after the show that I got
a hot toddy when I was under the weather. I
couldn't even talk lass, so they want to thank him.

(16:40):
I had some of that Jamieson's Irish whiskey hot tea lemon,
and I was under the weather and at Worth and
I still want I'm still drinking at Jamison's Irish Coffee's
pretty good stuff. Got a couple of shots of that,
So thank you. Ray Mayor. Never met the man, but
thank you so very much. There we go. He's Bucky Brooks.

I'll tell you I been married now for about seven months,
and we'll be doing the same thing as we're doing
right now, and uh, same thing we've been doing since
about eleven o'clock last night. So we'll probably end up

(19:43):
oh watching the uh uh super Bowl ads because she
really likes that, and then we'll watch the Puppy Bowl. Okay,
so you're not a big sports fan. You know what
sports now? You don't watch the NFL on on a
regular basis anyway, correct, h We do wrestling, wrestling, all right,

(20:07):
indoor wrestling, indoor wrestling. Okay, I don't need to know anymore.
I don't need to know anymore. I I get the picture,
and that's great. Enjoy your day and enjoy the puppies,
all right, Philly, thank you, thanks for listening. It's interesting, though, Bucket,
because he's not a sports fan, but he's still listening
to us that. That doesn't make much unless there's nothing

(20:29):
else on the radio in du Moines. Maybe I don't know.
Maybe his wife like to lay around and listen to us.
I didn't get a good picture about that. Okay. We
got the Eagles Chiefs today. And by the way, anybody
remember the last time the Eagles played the Chiefs anybody? Yeah?
One in October. Chiefs won that game. Thirty Patrick Mahomes,

(20:50):
five t d s, five t ds, Jalen hurts through
j D seven yards and two t ds. Doesn't mean much,
but just you know, for history purposes, we we bring
that back up here. But you know, you talk about
today's game, and I know the betting line has been
going back and forth plus one minus whatever it may be. Basically,
you pick them and you look at this right. Both
teams are sixteen and three points scored. Eagles five, six,

(21:14):
Chiefs all pro players. Both teams have six old pros,
number one seeds Eagles in the NFC, Chiefs in an FC.
On paper, it's dead even. It should be somewhat even
on the field as well. It should be a good game. Uh.
Now here's what I will say, Uh, the feel that
if your Eagles get the check park to check marks

(21:37):
and the telling the tape in most categories outside of coaching,
uh quarterback. Um, that's really about it. They have a
team that is really, uh not significantly better, but they
are better in most areas. The thing that gives you
pause before you just go out and say, hey man,
to feel you if you should run away from this

(21:59):
is Pat Mahomes is a two time m VP. We
understand how specially is we have seen him put this
team on his back. He's done it all year. And
Andy Reid is a diabolical play caller who does a
great job of creating big play opportunities for his guys.
And as you get closer to the game and you
study the team, you've seen this team is undergoing a makeover.

(22:22):
They went from being a big play team that lived
and died by the deep ball in the big play
to Tyreek Hill to one that can really cut you
up with a bunch of a bunch of short and
intermediate passes and a selective or an opportunistic running game
that shows his head when it's needed. And so because
of that, they could give the Philadelphia Eagles problems because

(22:45):
you have a quarterback who has shown more patients and
restraint taking the underneath stuff. And so if the Eagles
aret intent intent on taking away the deep ball, yeah,
Pat Mahomes canna ring up a terrific completion percentage leading
them up down the field. And it's a matter of
who plays well in the red zone because they are
neutralized the pass rush by getting the ball out of
his hands quickly. Well, I look at the Philadelphia Eagles.

(23:07):
I've seen what they've done is so much amazing. Have
they rebuilt this team, the moves that they made. I'm
looking at guy like a J. Brown, he just transformed
that Eagles offense. He led the team with eleven touchdowns,
almost fourteen hundred yards receiving uh and also he kind
of took the pressure of Davante Smith as well. So
some of the moves that this Eagles team has made

(23:28):
has really been a credit I guess to how he
roseman their general manager, Hassan Reddick, what what he did,
and they signed him in the love seasons. So some
of these moves that they made James brad Berry, I mean,
you may want to talk about it, but I think
some of these moves really and truly credit to the
front office of the Philadelphia Eagles really and the A. J.
Brown thing. You look what they did that got him.

(23:49):
And at the same token, I think it really hurt
the Tennessee Titans by losing him, Oh absolutely. I mean
they're not in the same conference, of the same division.
But yeah, it was a big win for the Philadelphia
goes to get a true number one receiver and A J.
Brown and he's splitting the duties with Devantage. Both those
guys went over a thousand yards, but A J. Brown
gives them something that they didn't have. Big body, physical receiver,

(24:11):
a guy who can win the fifty fifty balls on
the outside, but also has that size, strength and running
skill to make big plays when he catches the ball
on the move. And so when you think about this
RPO based offense where you're running a bunch of option
plays where jathen Hurst is basically running the triple option,
he handed to the running back, he can keep it himself,
or he can throw it to the wide receivers. Man,

(24:33):
they put you in constant conflict at the second level.
And so A J. Brown is terrific at running those
inside routes over the middle of the field because he
has the size, he's fearless, and he's a tough dude
to tackle that two pounds. Yeah, let's talk about Haws
on Reddit for a second. This is an amazing deal.
They sign him in the offseason, like three year deal
for forty five mill, which truly and truly, by today's standards,

(24:55):
isn't much money. And he led the Eagles sixteen sacks,
Like this is a team that three other players had
double digits in sacks, And it amazes me what they've
done on the defensive side of the ball. And you
don't hear much about that year. More about offense and
Jannalen hurts. Of course you do, because that's basically how
the NFL is built. But defensively, this team really on

(25:16):
the sacks side of the ball. Wow, they've really come alive.
And I think he's a big reason for it. Oh,
without question, he's a big reason for it. This is
a team that has four guys with at least ten
sacks Uh Hassan Reddick, Josh What, Javon Hargrave and Brandon Graham.
Fletcher Cox is right after them about seven seven and
a half sacks, and so they have been able to
generate pressure with just their front guys Uh doing it.

(25:38):
They don't have to blitz a lot. They can get
home with four, they can leave seven and coverage and
that is a nightmare for the offense because they've got
maximum coverage. But yet they're still generating maximum pressure without
bringing extra bodies. Um Hasan Reddick has played a big
role because his speed rushed on the edge is remarkable,
and so they put you on the constant stress because

(26:00):
edge blocker, the the left tack or right tech who's
facing him has to kick slive fast and so he
kicks lies fast and it creates more seems more space
for the other guys to attack. Yeah, but has Reddick
has been a great signing. But he's one of a
bunch of great signings that the Eavels have had throughout
the last season, no doubt about that. He's Bucky Brooks.
I'm Andy Firman. This is Fox Football Sunday on a

(26:21):
Super Sunday for sure. And we have another person we're
gonna get to in a second about not watching the
gate to that's very interesting, but let's not forge out
about this team. Their moves weren't too chebby either. But
first to Kevin Wyatt with the latest Saturday Night a
lot of sports action that includes UFC to forty eight.
The main event islam MARKA. Cheff retains his lightweight title

(26:42):

one o three. Lebron James did not play yet a
sore ankle. Anthony Davis smish in the game with sixteen
rebounds seventy Sixers come from behind to beat the Brooklyn
Nets one oh one. The Nets appeared to tie the

(27:28):
game at the end of regulation, but it was determined
that the shot came right after the final buzzer sounded.
Joel and Beat had thirty seven points. James Harden with
twenty nine. He beat the Magic in overtime one oh seven,
one oh three. Cavaliers make it six games in a
row as they beat the Bulls seven to eighty nine.

It went against Western Virginia sixty Missouri a three pointer

the last four games. Number seven U c l A
beats Oregon seventy to sixty three on the road. Gonzaga
holds off b y U eight eight eight one. Number
eight Virginia beat Duke at overtime sixty nine sixty two.
There was a controversial call as Duke was going for
the basket. A foul was called at the end as
a time expired, and the call was overturned because the

(28:54):
officials determined the time had expired before the foul. However,
the a SEC since stayed it that that was the
wrong call. A foul should have been called and free
throw should have been awarded. But instead of what the
overtime where Virginia wins it. Number nine Kansas beats Oklahoma

upsetting Number twenty Provide eight Craton defeating Yukon fifty six
fifty three, and number twenty four Rutgers taken down by
Illinois sixty nine to sixty Back to you guys, all right,
thank you keep seeing about an hour. What a discovery
that's right around the corner. Of course, he's Bucky Brooks
and many Firman and we are live for the ti
iraq dot Com studios and of course, we mentioned early

(29:58):
on today how many people will not be interested, not
be watching the Super Bowl, And it's kind of a
foolish question in the sense because this is a sports
so she would see that those people wouldn't be even
listening to us. But Mitchell in Ohio says he's not watching. Mitchell,
you're wrong with Bucky Brooks and Andy Fervan. How you doing, Mitch,
what's up? Yeah, my reason for not watching the Super Bowl.

(30:22):
I'm a die hard Cowboys and Bingles fans. I'm called
the cable company on Championship Sunday and I said, well,
you can shut me off for six months because my
football season end of the day. So if I get
a chance to stream with somehow catching at a restaurant
and much a few minutes of it. But yeah, Carolyn
is about either one of those teams. So that's why

(30:42):
I'm not watching them, and to me, the Bagels to
at least be there. I think that pressing to get over. Mitchell.
You've gotta let it go, man, I mean, come on,
I mean, I know a lot of people in the
Cincinnati area really upset, but you know, it's a morning period.
The morning periods over. Let it go, it's okay, all right,
the other that's true. But I can't say in the

(31:05):
Eagles because I kinta half half light the cheese. I
guess I had the root for somebody to be the chief.
I hear you, alright, have a good day, have a
great day there, you know. But I gotta ask the question.
I mean, you've been involved in some big games as
a player, and there's losses that have hurt. How long
does the laws stay with you? Because to me, I

(31:26):
think the loss of staying with the fans in the
area longer than some of the players. Um. I mean,
I mean fans short for fanatics, so yeah, like they
obsess over it. But for players, you feel those and
the playoff losses are the worst because there's a finality
to it. Um. One of my coaches, Delayed Fish S. Shermer,
who's defensive coordinated Green Bay when the Packers won the

(31:47):
Super Bowl back in nine. He used to talk about
the bad thing about the season. When the season ends,
there's no way that you can go to the next
season automatically fast forward and be right back at the
same spot. You have to go through the entire prod
sess all over again. To earn the right to have
a chance to make amends for what happened the previous season. UM.
And so that's why you see, because you have guys

(32:08):
who know this may be their final opportunity to be
a Super Bowl champion. There may be guys who play
UM this game today who never played football again after
training camp and those things. And so because of all that,
there's a lot of emotions that go with it, and
so players feel it UM like the fans. It's just
to think about the fans. Man, you so not only fanatical,

(32:29):
but you're obsessed with your team winning and loving. You
love talking trash, you love being able to put on
the T shirt and had to signifies that you're a champion.
Because we're all a tribal we all love being a
part of a tribe, and football kind of promotes that.
You think about being a part of the Chiefs, being
a part of the Philadelphia Eagles, you have an opportunity
to be with your people, and so you want to win.
You want to celebrate with your people. You want to

(32:50):
be recognized as being a champion. We all live for that.
Amazing Now, last but not least, have you had any
fans during your career, just like really try to just
not attack you, but got so close you said, like
back off, will give me some breathing room here. I mean,
they would like send you notes or try to get
ahold of you on social media, or the fans that

(33:12):
that are even outside the practice area during the week
when you're practicing, or following you on the road, or
fans that that close to you or try to get
that close. Now, I've been real fortunate not to have
any of those incidents. Um, you know. Also, I was
never good enough to be a star like that. I mean,
like at some point when you get that kind of stuff,
like you have to play at a level that uh

(33:33):
makes you become the fan favorite. It makes you become
the guy that is desired when it comes to autographs
and those things. But it's a lot of fun, you know,
and I think most guys enjoy that part of it. Like, sure,
you get a handful of crazies along the way, but
for the overwhelming majority of people that are in involved
in the game in terms of being fans or whatever, man,

(33:53):
they just celebrate you because of, uh, your opportunity to
do something that a lot of people wish that they
would have a chance to do right. But when you're
on the road and a lot of these times, these
fans just waiting at the hotel, waiting for the guy
waiting in the lobby of the hotel for the players
to come in, they are. They are because everyone wants
to picture, Everyone wants to an autograph or just a
part of it. You know. I think we all um

(34:15):
want to be around greatness and live to be around
people that accomplished good things. I mean, it's part of
the American way. We talked about winning and success and
and all of that. Well, everyone wants to kind of
touch on the him of someone who has been recognized
as being great at some at some point in their lifetime.
And so that's why I'm working with you. I want
to be part of exactly. That's why I though, but

(34:38):
I don't know about that. It's true, it really is. Okay,
by the way, let's talk about Discover for a second.
We can talk about how complicated other banks make it
to redeem credit card rewards, or we could talk about
how we discover you can redeem your rewards for cash
in any amount at any time. I mean, talk about
amazing learn more at Discovered dot com slash redeemed rewards
terms apply. Now there's only one person who can answer

(35:00):
these questions, and we're lucky. You know why he's here.
Bucky remembers his next Bucky remembers coming right up. That's
Bucky Brooks. I'm Andy Firmer. Together we are Fox Football
Sunday and Fox Books. Right now, of course we're live
from the tire Rock dot Com studios. But right now
it is time for Bucking remembers. It's time for one
of our own to remember the good old days. This

(35:21):
is why we're doing the drill from the locker room
to the gridiron. This man has seen at all. You
want your favorite NFL veteran. Bucky Brooks, he crowner gives
us the good, the bad, and the ugly from his
playing days in the NFL. And now Bucky remembers. Yes
he is our favorite NFL player, Yes he is. And Buck,

(35:43):
I gotta asked the question, what is the normal offseason
training schedule for players? And really and truly when there's
a kick in uh, you know, most guys, Andy, thell
they give themselves a month off after their season is
so whenever they play their final game, they'll take three
to four weeks to just kind of hang out. Uh. Normally,
the Super Bowl kind of signals, okay, it's time for

(36:04):
me to kind of get back in the gym and
just start doing some soft uh some soft working out,
like some slow recovery, nothing that's crazy intense and those things.
Because the official off season program doesn't start to the
middle of April. So what you want to take is
maybe the next month and a half, the next six
weeks to kind of slowly start ramping up. But you
want to give your body ample time to rest and

(36:26):
recover from a grueling year. But then you get to
get right back after it. After tonight, people will start
kind of making their way to the gym and just
start doing some light cardio, some light lifting and kind
of began to ramp it up as they get ready
for their off season workouts. And that offseason training regiment
is it done individually or is it under the team's supervision.
There's a player get a list of things to do

(36:47):
for the training staff. Okay, so the training staff will
give you a list of things to do. They'll give
you suggestions for what you can do from this time
until the off season workout starts in April, and so
most strength coaches have like a little generic play and
that they'll ask their guys to do. But you have
to remember, now there's this cottage industry where you have
these trainers that get pros ready to play the season.

(37:09):
So some guys will go right to their designated trainer
in their hometowns or in certain cities across the country
to begin to start the working out process. How can
I get bigger, faster, stronger, How can I work on
some of my deficiencies, not only uh in the weight room,
not only from a speed standpoint, but how can I
begin to work on my individual skills? And so for

(37:29):
every player it's a little bit of a different menu.
But yes, the team will send you home with like
uh prescribed workout, but most guys know what what they
need to get ready. Okay, I have heard about this
several times. Several players have had this. I've I've heard
it that read about it been publicized. But why does
certain players and some players get a training or workout bonus.

(37:52):
Isn't that part of your deal? You know, your body
is your factory, your body is your office. You know
you need to keep it in shape. Why would you
need a bonus to work out, I mean just to
make sure that I'm gonna be there. A lot of
times those bonuses are are put in contracts where you
want the person around the off season program. So for instance,
if you are in Green Bay, Wisconsin, and no disrespect

(38:14):
the Green Bay, I played there for three years. I
love my time there. But it's a cold city and
so the winter months are hard on players. But if
you want players to show it for your offseason workouts,
because offseason workouts are an opportunity for you to build camaraderie, trust,
put together the team. Guys get around each other, and
the teams that are most connected are the ones that win. Well.

(38:36):
You put money in the contract to entice guys to
come to workouts, to entice guys just been maybe Monday
through Friday in the city working out with their teammates,
Whereas if you didn't put that, they say, not a coach,
I'll just wait to the mandatory stuff, which is when
the off season workouts. Uh, command sing when you begin

(38:57):
to have those MANI camps. So that's why the workout
on this is they're in there. And then for some guys, uh,
they just have really good agents who are able to
kind of negotiate it in their contracts. Alight, do we
have time for one more quickly? I want to know
where you're gonna watch the game today. So I'm actually
going to be working for NFL Network. I will be
doing the post game uh show on the NFL channel
on Fast or everyone who has the streaming services. I'll

(39:19):
be doing that. So I will not be able to
have a super Bowl party and I won't be in
the bar like I told you how I love to
be around the energy. I'm actually gonna be uh doing
double duty today. Well, you'd be working and your favorite
Super Bowl foods if you had a choice to go
to the bar and maybe watch the game in the
bar or friends houses. Okay, so there are two things
that I have to have that requirements. So I need
to have chips in guak homemade guaca molly like right

(39:42):
table side gualk. I need to get that, so I
go to my favorite Mexican restaurant and pick that up.
And then I need to have chicken wings. And if
you ask me, do I want flats or drums? I
want drums with a little mix of blue cheese and
ranch dressing. There to do it. You give me those things,
I'm a happy camper. What about chicken wings? Bone? So
a non boneless? I mean, they're not chicken wings if
they don't have bones in them, right, exactly, That's exactly

(40:08):
what they're doing right now, that bone. And I never
heard of bone, and with chicken wings, gonna have a
bone in it. That's what it basically is. Right. What
about any alcohol consumption? Na, no, no, no drinks? Well,
keep it light. I want to be able to focus,
want to be able to lock in because I got
to talk about it afterwards. I want to make sure
I remember what actually took place, because Monday and Tuesday's

(40:28):
I get some phone girls to talk about it, So
I need to know what's going on. Here we go,
all right, he's Bucky Brooks. I'm Andy Firm, and we
got Fox Football Sunday. And should you really be concerned
with him today? We'll tell you all about it next.

the nation. Catch all of our shows at Fox sports

(40:49):

We'll explain that in just about a minute. Good morning everybody. Yes,
this is Fox Football Sunday on a Super Sunday for

(41:11):
thousand recommended installers ti rack dot com the way tire
buying should be. Okay, Buck, this is a big day
for you double duty. As you mentioned, NFL network work
after this and uh, you know the Eagles chiefs. I
think that people are kind of expecting a tremendous game,
but a tight game. Nonetheless, let's just hope that this

(41:33):
game is not affected by the officiating. That's all I'm saying.
Normally in these situations, Um, you know it's been a
nominally because we saw it early. One of the things
that you know in the playoffs, as a player, typically
the officials let you play, and so, uh, there's a
lot of outrage and consternation the first weekend, Wild Card
weekend when you saw what appeared to be a lot

(41:55):
of holding on the defensive end. Uh, there weren't many
uh calls for holding on offense, two fall stars, and
those things appear to be let go unless it was egregious. Well,
that's kind of how you want the Super Bowl to be.
You want the players to ultimately decide the game. And
I know someone will say, well, that's not fair because
you've called things a certain way the entire time. It's
not fair or whatever. But you don't want the officials

(42:16):
to be right in the middle of a controversial play
that dictate that determines who wins or loses the game.
And so early in the game you want to kind
of test the boundaries if you're a player, to see
how much you can get away with, and then you
begin to kind of adjust accordingly. So if I'm a dB,
I may grabbing clutch early in the game to just
kind of see, okay, how they calling the is it

(42:37):
a tiki tag game? Or are they letting us play?
And if they're letting us play, then it becomes all
out brawl on the perimeter. When it comes to doing
those things, it's no different than watching a team that
presses in basketball, like the old forty minutes of hill
On the Nolan Richardson, are they calling the tiki tag?
Reaching files or are they letting them kind of grab
and hold and do those things. You change the way

(43:00):
that you play based on the way that deficiates, and
you use that first quarter to figure out howspit and
go down. You know. But I'm reading scanning reports all
big long about both teams. You know, when one team passes,
when one team runs. And one of the things that
have listed in the scantning report is coaching. And we've
always been learned and taught that, you know, a coach
is only as good as his personnel. So and when

(43:21):
they put down the coaching aspect and the scanning report,
and certainly they giving the nod to Andy Reid, I
question that because the coach, as I say, is only
as good as his personnel. And certainly Andy read has
had a great run, no doubt about it. He's a
he's a Hall of fame, he'll be in Canton. But still,
I mean the personnel there, I don't think it's as
good in Kansas City as it is in Philadelphia. That's

(43:43):
why I think Philadelphia is gonna win. But still, in
all they put down coaching as a possibility on a
scanning report, explain that to me, Well, I think the
coaching aspect comes from the Kanti. The Chiefs lost in
All Pro wide receiver and Tyreek kill. Yeah, their offense
is still number one in scoring, number one in like
yards and and and passing yards and all this other stuff.

(44:04):
And you want to know, how how do you do that?
How do you lose the receiver of that caliber? You
don't bring another receiver who appears to be that caliber.
But yet the offense is just as productive, maybe even
more explosive. And that is Andy due to Andy reads
ability to take what he has and to make it better,
to take Pat Mahomes and say, here's how we have
to play with the people that we have around us

(44:25):
to be able to look at what he has and
and and and kind of make it work. And so
it's been a terrific job by him. But I will
say this on the other side, I do not believe
that Nick Sirianni has got enough credit for the job
that he has done over the past two years with
the Philadelphia Eagles. You have to remember that this team
completely revamped how they played offense in the middle of

(44:46):
season last year with Jalen Hurts. They went from trying
to do some of the stuff that um Sirianni was
familiar with from his time at the Chargers and with
the Indianapolis Colts to really bringing in a college football
approach when it comes to the option game, the r
P O s and those things to make sure that
their quarterback was comfortable. They continue to add to it

(45:07):
by adding different players to the mix this year, and
the offense has continued to evolve and explode, and so
he's done a really good job with that. Jonathan getting
the defensive coordinator, has gone from being a guy who
was very conservative in his approach early in terms of
playing a lot of his own not really taking chances,
to now they dialed up. They bring some pressure, but
they do it in a very clever and creative way

(45:28):
while maintaining kind of like that that's safe approach that
he likes to play in the back end and it's
worked so to me. Both guys have excellent coaches. But
Andy Read's experience is what kind of tips it in
his favorite Now, we heard all week long about the
high ankle spread of Patrick Mahomeers. He said he everything's fine,
and that kind of shadowed what the real problem is.
I think the problem is for the Philadelphia Eagles, their

(45:50):
quarterback Jalen Hurts. He had that shoulder spring. It cost
him two games earlier this season against the forty nine
Is in that NFC title game, he seemed pretty uncomfortable
against the pair rush. The deep past attack has been
limited to less several games. In his last two games,
he's thrown only eight passes that traveled more than fifteen
yards behind the line of scrimmage and completely just too

(46:11):
I get it. I understand in that game against San
Francisco he didn't have to pass the ball because they
were ahead. But honestly, the Chiefs have had some success
with a four man pass rush. I think this could
really be a major factory in the game. And not
many people are talking about the situation with Jalen Hurts. No,
there's not a lot of people talking about it. There
are a lot of people that are kind of waiting
for him to falter and feel But I I will

(46:33):
say this, he does exactly what he's needed uh in
that moment, and given two weeks to continue to recuperate
and recover, he'll be a better version than the version
that we saw a couple of weeks ago. Uh. The
show is certainly an issue but now that you're in
the Super Bowl, hey man, you lay it all on
the line. You do whatever you need to do to
win the game. And so I believe you. We will

(46:54):
see him run more. You'll see them use some of
the design quarterback runs and some of the options that
made the offense it's dangerous and explosive. They'll continue to
do those things because it plays well with his skill set.
You're talking about the run game, I mean basically they
have it all. You tell the Philadelphi Eagles, I don't
see many weaknesses there. They've got Miles Sanders. It was
a contract year for him. It was his best years

(47:15):
of pro of yards, rushing a love and rushing touchdowns.
He made the Pro Bowl team. They also have Kenneth
Gained well, they have Boston Scott. Although the problem I
think is uh Jalen Hurts and his last two playoffs
starts towards seventy five passing guards. As I mentioned early on,
probably didn't have to pass the ball that much against
the forty nine is because they were ahead, and then
you know, you don't have to pass the football, so

(47:36):
you know, honestly, the question of the day is how
is his brain throwing shoulder holding up and we'll hold up.
I mean that is a big question, and it's one
of those things. Well, we'll know early in the game
how he's feeling when it comes to the way that
he throws the ball, the way he tossed it kind
of around the yard. They've had enough time for him
to get rehab and to work on his stuff, and
he'll be the best that we've seen. And then it's about, um,

(48:00):
how does he manage his nerves. That's the part that
I'm more worried about than the injury. Uh, the nerves
will be a big factor. This is the biggest game
that most of these guys have ever played, and it's
a different kind of game, meaning, Uh, the energy, the emotions,
the swings are so different than any other thing because
there's really a finality to it. I mean, you talk
about your this close to being able to kind of

(48:22):
grab the trophy, to grab the Lombardi, to feel the
confetti following on your your shoulders, and so everything takes
on a more magnified meaning when you're playing how do
you handle that? Whether ken see, the Chiefs have a
bunch of guys that have been there before. It doesn't
guarantee that they're gonna win. But in terms of the
managing of the nerves, the managing of the opening uh

(48:43):
stands at the first quarter in keeping everything in check
so you don't get too high or too low with
the good and bad plays that might happen. And then
how do you handle halftime? Most halftimes in the National
Football the halftime in the NFL is twelve minutes. Well,
now it's longer. You talk about like a twenty minute
a half time, more time, more time to think, more
time to change, more time to adjust and all that.

(49:05):
How do you handle all of these different situations because
players are creatures of habit and coaches try and keep
everything on the same schedule. How does everyone manage these
emotions in these different things? Ultimately will play a party
who wins. I'm glad you mentioned the halftime situation because basically,
the team that scores at the end of the second
quarter and if they receive in the third quarter, you know,

(49:28):
to have that so called momentum going for them, that
momentum could be lost because of an extra halftime. Yeah,
I mean, it's a different it's a different deal. And
what some coaches do is they practice, uh the differences
they practice like in their practices. Yes, yeah, you practice everything. Uh.
Nothing should be done by happenstance. So what you want

(49:49):
to do is you want to have a practice sometimes
throughout the course of these two weeks where you have
a practice and then you tell the team all right, guys, halftime,
and you take a twenty or twenty five minute break
and you restarted, and you do it just like you
were doing the game. Hey guys, were canna warm this
up again? We can go back out because you want
your players to kind of get familiar with that long

(50:09):
break in between because it's different. It is much different
than how it is in the regular season. I can
tell you from being on the southe hone with the Jacks.
When the clock hit zeros, you got twelve minutes to
get in and out and do your thing. That is
enough time for you to literally going. Because paid Manning
joked about, hey guys go in. Uh. They they go
to the bathroom, they eat a couple of orange slices.

(50:31):
Coach comes in with a bout. YEA coach comes in.
Coach comes in and says, hey, guys, here's what we
gotta do. YadA, YadA YadA, and before you know you're
back on the field. So Andy that that is different
than having an extended twenty to twenty five minute a
half time when you're legitimately sitting around trying to figure
out what's going on and all that. So you want
to practice it because if not as a thought out

(50:53):
your normal routine. By the way, have you seen players
have a smoke at halftime? I can't say that I've
seen players have a smoke at half time. I may
have seen a player or two have a smoke during
practice way back, but those are old school rules, old school,
old school school. I'm not against him, just saying it.
Probably this happen time to time. You know. By the way,
we mentioned early on today that there are some people

(51:15):
there's a segment of the population that does not like football,
does not follow football, probably will not watch the Super Bowl. Uh.
And I wanted to know if we could hear from
them being at eight seven seven ninety nine Fox eight
seven seven sixty nine, or at Bucky Brooks or at
Andy Firm and FSR. And I said, well, maybe they
wouldn't have the counis to call us, because you know,

(51:38):
there's somewhat a shame that could change their name. More
than that, if they don't like football, while would they
be listening to us in the first place. But John
in Pennsylvania says he has a unique way of watching
the Super Bowl. So John, Welcome to Fox Football Sunday. Hi, guys,
I really like you. You're the one. You're the one, John,
You're the one. I'm I'm a big sports fan. I'm

(52:01):
a gambling degenerate, but I always served the channel during
commercials because I record the Super Bowl, So I always
try to serve the channels to see what's going on.
The other angle is I live with my sister knew
that she just moved in here seventy years old, and
she doesn't much football one bit. She has to go
to her room and watch movies and so forth, and

(52:23):
whenever she's watching. But I honestly am interested in other shows.
What's going on, durn thing. Everybody knows sixty minutes is
gonna be on. That gets a little bit, But I
do that. The other part I want to say, and
I mean this truly, I'm not joking here. I put
eight hundred to win on Chief's money line. The world

(52:44):
is taking the Eagles on paper, the Eagles win a
to Z. On paper, Eagles habit only one position they
don't are not superior at, which is quarterback. But I
have to go with the chief Do I guarantee a wager? Never,
never in my life being a gambler, But my goodness,

(53:06):
it is the Chiefs today. In my opinion, I just
don't see Eagles winning, even though on paper it says everything,
because they don't play on paper. They play on the field. John,
I hear what you're saying. But do you bet on
on a normal basis every Sunday on every game? How
do you do that? You see your degenerate gamble? What
does that mean? Basically I'll miss here and there. I'll

(53:29):
miss here and there. But basically yeah, But the other
part is I don't like playing one game. I don't
mind is parlay's during the year. So now I have
to go forward and I gotta pet more money on
one game, which my normal play is like a three
game or two game parlay, and that's my preference. But yeah,

(53:51):
basically I might miss a couple of weeks here and there,
but oh yeah, I'm I'm laying it now. I do
not play out of sports. I can't stand basketball. I
can't stand baseball. So after today you finished with your
with gambling. So this is it for you. Right now,
I go right to horses, the right to horses, all right,
I hear you. Well, good luck today, Thank you for listening.

(54:14):
There we go interesting. I mean, guys betting on the
on the Eagles to lose because he thinks that that
one position and one quarterback position Patrick Mahomes may make
the difference. The game is so close. I think if
I'm a gambling I'm not, and I don't think you
are either, Buck, But I can't be. Technically, because of
my affiliation with NFL network in the NFL, I cannot

(54:35):
participate in gambling, even though I've always been curious about
how guys go about it, because to me, it would
be so nerve racking to have money on the game. Uh,
the ebbs and flows. I do think the prop bit
thing is kind of fun, betting on the random instances
and circumstances that might come through that again, coin flip
or receiver over sixty yards or those things. Those things

(54:59):
make it appelling to continue to watch the game. And
certainly the NFL has benefited from gambling being uh, kind
of given an opportunity to kind of intermingle with the
National Football League, But I don't gamble. It would drive
me crazy. Though I don't know if I can mess
with it. I I can understand why people do it,
because I think it has an extra incentive to watch

(55:20):
the game and maybe a little more excitement watching the game,
and never excited me. I just enjoy watching the game, period.
But that's what people do, and more power to them.
But I can't see myself doing that. All right, he's
Buckey Brooks. Get him on Twitter at Bucky Brooks or
at Andy Firm and FSR our number three. We have
Mike Harmon here, get him at Swollen Dome, bottom barrel

(55:40):
bending in this hour Swollen Dome and Bucky's best an
hour number three. But right now, forget about the air.
Let's take a look at the ground and we will next.
They have a number one back right now. We'll get
to that in just about a minute. He's number one
in our book. He really is a number one in
our hearts Bucky Brooks, Andy Fermer. They got a Fox
Football so a day on Super Sunday. But it is

(56:02):
time for the progressive play of the day a second
he can run it. He runs the base slide to
the left. Here's the baseball pass high up into the air.
It's caught. Oh my goodness, I can't believe what I
just saw. Holy cow. Watch the catch and release by

(56:23):
Isaiah Johnson falling backwards and that's kind of count at
the vikings to it again. That was the play of
the day a Portland's State insane buzzer beata Isaiah Johnson

really and truly if you haven't got a chance to

(57:07):
see that, google that that Portland State Northern Arizona Game
seven at the buzzer Isaiah Johnson, an unbelievable play that
we move on, all right? Did you did you have
to take a look at that bucket? Have you seen
that place. I did. I get a chance to see
it last night when it took place, and it was
a crazy shot for the guy that threw it. The
length of the floor and the catch catch it. I

(57:28):
think it was like point four left and to get
it up and off the window, and all that other stuff,
it's kind of crazy. You can't practice that. That's just athleticism, correct,
You can't practice. You can practice that, man, I mean,
you can throw it up there, you can say we
have these situations and stuff like that, but to do
it in the game, it's unbelievable. That's a great shot,
it really is. All right. Now, let's talk a little
bit about the Super Bowl game here with the chief
the Chiefs. The Kansas City Chiefs usually have a platoon

(57:52):
at running back, but since Clyde edw was Hilaire his injury,
Isaiah Pachco's number one. Although Hillaire, I believe it's back
on the roster right now. Who but I don't know
if it is he gonna play today. I don't think
he will. Yeah, I don't know. He may be a
game day active guys day decision. But they got Jered
McKinnon and uh and of course Pacheco, who's what a
late draft pick, seriously, but they're valuable as received us

(58:15):
from the backfield. McKinnon, he had nine touchdown receptions in
the regular season, and the Eagles run defense they did
shut down the forty nine is on the NFC Title game,
but it's not as strong as that peace defense. I
think the Chiefs may have the edge over here. You
know that that that's where that's where the edge um
is for the Chiefs. And if you're the Chiefs, there

(58:36):
are a couple of different ways that you can utilize
your running backs. You can utilize the mats. Traditional runners
like Pacheco certainly can run in between the tackles. He
has power, he has for it, does a great great
job of of utilizing his vision, balancing body control to
um get first downs and to move the chains and
to do those things. But Jered McKinnon is really the

(58:56):
X factor nine receiving touchdowns you alluded to. In the
red zone, the ball is going to eight seven Travis
Kelsey or number one Jered McKinnon, And so you have
to have a plan to deal with him. And in
a game like this where the Eagles are trying to
create pressure, and put a lot of pressure on Pat Mahomes.
McKinnon is important not only for words receiving skills out

(59:17):
of the backfield, but because he is solid, super solid
and pass protection. He will have an opportunity to make
an impact on the game. Keep an eye on him,
as they expected for the Chiefs. And we talked about
momentum all the time, not only in this game, but
in sports in general. And I think that the willingness
to know how to win, and certainly both these teams

(59:38):
know how to do that. What do I mean by that?
The Chiefs they are twelve and one since October the seventeenth,
and their only loss was to the Cincinnati Bengals, and
they took care of the Bengals in the a f
C title game. The Eagles, they're sixteen and one in
starts by Jalen Hurts and they've allowed just fourteen points
in this postseason. So you're talking about that offensive line
on the Eagles, eighth ranked in pressure and get this,

(01:00:01):
this is an unreal status far as I'm concerned. They
allowed jail and Hurts to be sacked only one time,
only once the entire sea. That's amazing. That is that
is an amazing stat um. They they are a dominant
team and one of the reasons why the Eagles are
modeled for team building, offensive and defensive lines are strong.
They've thrown various different resources to make sure that those

(01:00:24):
UH positions are strong. Whether it's utilizing a bunch of
top pics to make sure their offensive line is stout
and sturdy, whether it's usualizing topics and acquiring trades and
free agent UH pickups to fortify a defensive line to
make sure they have a top notch pass rush. That
is what they've done, and their ability up front to
win the line of scrimmage on offense and defense has

(01:00:47):
been a big part of why they are successful and
why they're sitting here in the super Bowl. And then offensively,
you talked about Jail Hurts not getting hit. That offensive
line is the best in football. They're big, fast, the
physical UH. They have some nastiness that's a requisite to
being an elite offensive line. They do not mind mixing
it up. They kind of relative the opportunity to play

(01:01:08):
against these highlights outed defensive lines and defensive defenders, and
so this would be one where Chris Jones will certainly
get their attention. UH I can't wait to see what
it looks like. You know, I never understood this. They
was called the skilled performers in the National Football Like
and if I was a player in the league, I'd
be highly offended. They call the skilled performers. Obviously the quarterback.

(01:01:30):
They're running back in the receivers. I gotta believe that
an offensive lineman is a skilled performer, and I think
that the success of the quarterback is basically dependent upon
how strong your offensive line is. We saw what happened
last year, how many times Joe Burrow was sacked by
by their offensive line A lot thereof. In Cincinnati, they
bolsted that offensive line and luckily did this year. I
think you really have to go and get a great

(01:01:52):
offensive lineman. And I remember years ago there was a
TV commercial with a cigarettes that what's upfront that counts?
And that's basically what the Paul Brown did his first
draft pick when the Cincinnati Bengals were formed. His first
draft pick was an offensive center. That's what he was
smart enough to realize. You have to build from the front.
You gotta start up front. That's where it counts. Yeah,

(01:02:13):
it starts right there, front to back. Making sure that
you have the necessary ingredients at the line of scrimmage
to be able to dominate at the point of attack.
That's how you win games. That's how it's a sustainable model.
You beat people up. And the phil Eagles have done that.
And so, even though we were here a lot today
about the conversation regarding the sexiness of their offense and

(01:02:36):
the bills and whistles and the smoking mirrors in the deception,
they are the team that they are because they can
control the trenches on both sides of the ball. There
you go. Now they have to control one guy, and
that guy is Chris Jones for the Chiefs. He finished
the season with fifteen and a half sacks seventeen tackles
for losses. He added two more sacks and three more

(01:02:56):
tackles for losses and that a f C title game.
How do you how do you control a guy like
Chris Jones? How do you stop him? At The concern
obviously is not getting jail and Hurt's heard again with
that shoulder and the Chiefs running game. I mean, what
about Chris Jones? What do you do to stop this guy? Well,
he's hard to stop and you won't necessarily stop him,
but You've got to make sure that you're always aware

(01:03:17):
of where he lines up. Uh, knowing where his whereabouts
will allow you to slie protection to him. You want
to make somebody else have a big day, not him.
The problem that you have with the Cancie the chiefs
is Frank Clark is on the outside, and Frank Clark
is is a handful to deal with a will, and
so you have to pick and choose when you want
to kind of slide your protections to Chris Jones and

(01:03:39):
when you want to make sure you give Frank Clark
a little added attention. What you're hoping is that your
your your left tackle can hold up against Frank Clark alone.
So we can make sure that we take care of
the all pro on the inside. But it's a tough
it's a tough day. The one thing is, uh, they're
not many weak spots on that Philadelphia offensive line, so
they should be able to get the job done. One
of my everybody, they were broadcasting life on the tire

(01:04:01):
Rap dot com studios and of course this is Super
Bowl Sunday, and uh, you know this is a game,
the Super Bowl where really nobody can become a household
name you know, you've got some names that you may
hear about today and some of these names that you
hadn't heard about it maybe all season long. I mean
go back to Super Bowls spin the past. Names like
David Tyree, Malcolm Butler, they used the Super Bowl to

(01:04:24):
game fame. They really did cannon happen today? What do
you think? What are your thoughts about that? Some guys
some also ran, some guy that we never talk about
may come about and be the hero today being on
Philadelphia or Kansas City. I mean, it's it's it's quite possible. Uh.
The games are normally decided by the stars, but you
need your role players to step up and make plays
when those players are there. Years ago, we saw Malcolm

(01:04:46):
Butler make a huge play down in the red zone,
tight red zone. Uh, that the interception that really changed
the fate in the fortune of the Seattle Seaharks because
they go back to back. Who knows what kind of
dynasty they have up in the Pacific Northwest, we seen
other guys step up and have huge games and take
advantage of those opportunities. And so this is one where, uh,

(01:05:08):
you just gotta keep your eye out see how the
teams are playing. And then someone is gonna get a
chance for the Kan City Chiefs. I'm thinking the Eagles
are gonna do everything in their power to take away
Travis Kelsey so m vs. Juju Smith, Schuster sky More.
They should have ample opportunity to make plays and really
put their their imprint, their impression on this game. I

(01:05:30):
have a couple of names that maybe stars at the
end of the day today, and I'm not talking about
Patrick Mahomes and Jalen Hurst. Those are the easy ones.
We're not gonna mention them. I'm gonna talk about the
Eagles defensive tackle Javon Hargrave. Okay, here's a guy who
plays on the interior of the defensive line. He recorded
a career high eleven sacks has past season. He had
sixteen quarterback kids. I think this guy could be a

(01:05:51):
major factor in today's game. He could be. He's a
dominant player on the inside. And anytime you have an
in serial pass rusher, uh, it's it's problematic because what
it does is it puts it right in the quarterback's
face right away. It forces him to move in with
the pass rushers that they have on the outside. Uh,
it's a tough deal. Brandon Graham, how sign Reddick Josh Wit.

(01:06:13):
Those guys gobble up those sacks that are created by
the inside penetration. John Highgrave has been a good before
a while. He's now beginning to notoriety and respect the
desserts because he got the double dig sacks. Okay, so
you're gonna give me a check next that he could
be a possibility, He could be, he could absolutely be. Okay,
I'm gonna give you another one. Kenneth Gainwell, this guy
was a fifth gun draft pick. He rushed for a

(01:06:35):
career high one hundred twelve yards and a touchdown against
the Giants in the Divisional round, which I think shocked everybody.
He carried fourteen times in the NFC Championship game. I
think he's a guy that's gonna help this offense and
the ground game. That's basically the key for the success
of the Eagles, especially now with the shoulder problem of
Jalen Hurts. So I think game Well could be a
major factor today. Game Well. You know, it's funny when

(01:06:59):
you look at the stay as he doesn't have a lot,
but in the postseason he has a little juice. But
I think he might be the leading Russian in the postseason.
He has the quickness, he has the burst to get
to the second level. The Eagles like playing a variety
of different backs around Jason Hurts. Uh. Something that is
due to Jalen hurts ability to command so much attention
that those guys, particularly the fast guys, get to the

(01:07:19):
next level. They can't be seen and it creates big place.
He's a good one. He's a good one to keep
an eye on. Okay, I'm gonna move to Kansas City now,
I want to take everything with Philadelphia and Kansas City.
I'm gonna look at their linebacker Nick Bolton. Okay uh.
Second to year in the league, he became the Chief's
most prolific tackle at a hundred eight tackles this year,

(01:07:41):
nine tackles for losses perio of deceptions. Seven quarterback kids.
You don't hear much about Nick Bolton. Local guy went
to Missouri. They drafted him locally. I think against the Eagles,
he's gonna have to be all over the field to
stop that rushing attack that the Eagles have, which is
so strong. Bolton could be a major factor in today's
game for Kansas City. He absolutely could be. He's a

(01:08:02):
tackling machine. A guy has great instincts and diagnostics skills,
always around the ball, always near the play. Uh. This
is one where you need him to be very active
because Janen Hurst is going to be active not only
is a runner, but as a thrower. And so when
you have a second level defender that is able to

(01:08:22):
kind of track his whereabouts. Not that you would use
a spot but he has to be able to track
him and see him, see where he's going, and make
those tackles when he gets one on one with him
in space. Uh. Bolden is a big, big part of
their defensive plan. Okay, speaking a linebacker, let's go back
to Philadelphia. I think a guy who's really have to
be zeroed in on Travis Kelsey, t J. Edwards. Here's
a guy who's played, uh in the middle of the field,

(01:08:44):
that's what Kelsey does most of his roaming around. I
think t J. Edwards is the guy who's will be
spotting on Kelsey today. Yeah. T J. Edwards has to
play a role and everyone has to be um locked
in on Travis Kelsey. He has to be the guy
that we talked about. Uh. If this was in the pool,
like he where where Where's Waldoor, Marco Polo? Where is he?

(01:09:06):
You have to know where he is at all times.
And then what you want to do is for Travis Kelsey,
you want to make sure that you get a bump
and a bang on him every time. You do not
want him to have free access into his routes. And
what the Chiefs have done, they've done a really good
job of using him, uh kind of as a blocker
before they release him into the route. And what that
does is sometimes he gets lost in the sauce. And

(01:09:28):
so he had a bunch of receptions. Uh. In the
divisional round, we had like fourteen or fifteen catches, but
he had those because a lot of them won't check downs.
He only averaged seven yeards per cats. But it's annoying.
It's that production that you just can't control. And so
he will continue to play a big part of what
the big part of the Kancity Chiefs offensive game plan

(01:09:48):
because he is such as dynamic player that creates these
flash plays on the perimeter. You know, honestly, I I
feel as if I'm showing my favoritism towards the Eagles,
but they have so many players that could really shine
today that you don't hear much about during the regular season.
I'm looking at their undrafted safety red Blanketship. Here's a
guy who's really coming to his own an amazing fine

(01:10:09):
for the Philadelphia Eagles. Really undrafted and he came on
there done a great job of the safety spot. He
has done a really good job. He's made some plays.
I want to say, he's come up with a turnover
to um. And they have so many good guys that
he's look it's easy to overlook him. When you have
Chauncey Gardner Johnson, you have Brad you have Bradberry, you

(01:10:31):
have Darius slay Uh. There are a lot of people
that you can talk about, but he is one of
those guys. A glue performer, guy does all the dirty
work that no one really talks about. But he's very,
very important to the defensive Paulsy he needs to be
able to have a great game to that. There you go,
He's Bucky Brooks. I'm Andy from it. Together. We are
Fox Football Sunday on a Super Sunday. Nonetheless, and of
course let's talk about Discovery. We could talk about how

the first TV of of tonight's game be scored by
a player wearing a jersey number over or under eleven
and a half. I'm gonna say over. I'm not too
sure what the number of Miles Sanders is, but I
think he's the guy. I think he's over eleven. Believe
he's number twenty six something like. I'm gonna go I'm
not Miles Sanders. I'm gonna go on there because I

(01:17:06):
got Jalen. I have Jalen Hurts, I have a j Brown,
have DeVante Smith you check o yeah, this easy one. Yeah,
I gotta agree with money. Easy money. You don't like
Miles now? I like Miles Sanders A good player, all right,

(01:17:29):
all right, all right, So the Chiefs and Eagles are
both known for being very aggressive on short yard each
converting Aye Bucky over under two and a half fourth
down conversions in this game, I'll go under. He's rare
for those guys. I'm gonna go over. I think they're

(01:17:52):
gonna gamble a little bit too. I think it's gonna
be a close game. They have to do some gambling.
See on this one, I would agree with you, Andy, Yeah,
I think I think they'll have to do this because
the game maybe really knotted up in that fourth quarter. Alright,
Rihanna is going to be performing the halftime show this year.
Last year, the Super Bowl halftime show set featured a
whopping ten songs set. Now, Rihanna has a ton of radio,

(01:18:18):
it's in her career. So Annie and Buckey over under
nine and a half songs for re read this Sunday.
I'm going under and I'll tell you why. But our
songs are rather long, and I think there'll be a
lot of choreograph the material there too, like dancing. I'm
gonna go under, I'm gonna go into nine and a hit. Yeah,
I'm I'm gonna go I'm gonna go into Andy on

(01:18:38):
this one. Man ten songs, a lot of songs, a
lot of songs. I'm not not yet under, I go under. Yeah. Alright,
let's get to our final bet of the game. You
ready for this one? All right? Final bet? It's got
to be on the game itself. And I'm talking about

(01:18:59):
the old headliner of a game today, the Puppy Bowl. Baby.
That's right. We got Team Rough going up against Team Fluff.
So Anny and Bucky will the m VPS name start
with the letters eight through J, or K through Z,

(01:19:22):
buck K through Z. I'm gonna go A through J
just because Bucky had Keith and Z. That's the only
reason I'm doing that. Really, this is one of those
bets you just do, you throw up in the air
and hope it comes down the right way. I just
don't know, you know, why, why don't we do this?
We have a little time, you know, why don't we
just the three of us pick a score and see
who's gonna win with that? And by the way, I

(01:19:44):
want to mention we're live from the Tirack dot com studios.
But can we do that? Why don't you do that? First? BT?
Give me a score? I am gonna go. I like
seeing score gamies, so I'm gonna go thirty, which, believe
it or not, has never happened in NFL history. And
I'm actually taking the Chiefs. M m yeah, Kansas City,

(01:20:10):
look at your infringing upon my score. I was I
was thinking thirty one Chiefs on a walk off field
goal to end it. Really jee, you guys are scaring me.
I'm going terry action. Yeah, I'm going to Eagles seventeen
like a blowout. Like a blowout. Yeah wow. I just

(01:20:33):
I think that the pressure that he Patrick Mahomes is
to be ridiculous. I think Pat Mahomes just text me.
I think he heard you. I think Pat Mahomes just
text me years everything. I think I think he may
shout you out in the middle of the game. You
think so. Maybe I'm just nasty against what they've done
to Cincinnati Bengals. Maybe that's why I'm doing it that way.
But I just believe the pressure. I just think the

(01:20:54):
game is won on the interior and the interior line,
and the Eagles is so good both offensive defensive. I
just think it's too tough to handle. I really do. Well,
we'll see. I don't know we'll ask the swallow Don
will join us. That's right, Mike Harmon, the swallow Don
joins the Fray Fox Football Sunday next. Fox Sports Radio
has the best sports talk lineup in the nation. Catch

(01:21:16):

and within the I Heart Radio app search f s
R to listen live. Still trying to process all of
this psychologically, The end of another NFL season, you know,
sends me walking into the desert and literally I was
in the desert for a couple of days promoting said game.
Welcome in Mike Harmen alongside Andy Furman and Bucky Brooks.

(01:21:40):
Bucky Brooks sitting to my left, looks like the season
has treated him well. And he comes back and find fiddle.
He brought donuts so he will become the employee of
the month. So it's all of those He's He's fallen
back into our our Sunday morning regime and routine, just
that fast. How are you Andy and hanging it? Everything's good, good,

(01:22:03):
real good, just good great. Are you still bitter about
the Bengals? You know what? There are people here that
won't let it go. It's a freaking game. Let it go.
I mean come on. And I talked to Bucky about
this earlier. I think the fans hold on to this
more so than the players. The players that they play,
they lost boom, you move on. That's it, and that's

(01:22:23):
what you do. But these play I mean, these fans
right now, you would think like they lost a loved one. Really,
it's crazy. Yeah, I think a lot of it comes
back to the just the emotion of it all versus Look,
you're being paid to play the game, and there's always
gonna be parts of a game where you could say
we should have been better here, here, here, here, whereas

(01:22:44):
a fan is going to say, these three plays, the
referee screwed us. They had it in for us, and
that was it. And and that's really been the talking
point for the last two weeks. Although this week I
was in Vegas a couple of days uh with the
show Jason Smith and I and I had more people
asking abou out the the NBA trade deadline and what
all of that meant, then then hyping up the Super

(01:23:05):
Bowl even as they were standing there with chief Sir
Eagles gear on. The NBA took a little bit of
a little bit of spice there out of the NFL
this week with the trade deadline and Lebron breaking the
old time points record. So basically the NBA had had
some some shine this week. They did. They did take
de shine to Thursday. Uh, the trade deadline in the

(01:23:26):
blockbuster trades that we saw like the last couple of
days was Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday. Yeah, certain certainly open up
things and so um this fool. I mean, everyone knows
where all the odds will be. And you know, the
NFL has dominated the um viewing landscape for a while.
It's okay if someone has a little turn at it.

(01:23:47):
They got a little bit of extra there at Andy
Ferman FSR. Where you find Andy, Find Bucky at Bucky Brooks,
read him NFL dot com. You see him everywhere. He's
a man of the people. Find me over at swollen Down.
Listen weeknight seven to eleven. Meet Carnival Barking alongside Jason
Smith here on the Greater Fox Sports Radio. He's so mad,
he's so mad at Geno Smith, NFL Comeback Player of

(01:24:08):
the Year. Well, he's just so mad. He's just so
mad at Geno Smith, and anybody could have done it,
Like I've heard his taste. Well, I was the one
that was really ranting against Gino winning the award, like
you were a guy that has been in the league,
you didn't get hurt. He came back from being a
a bum. I was waiting to see what term you're

(01:24:29):
gonna put that. That's where he came back, probably for
me and I guess it always goes down to the
definitions of all this Andy Bucky. When when we go
all right, come back player of the here, usually you're
coming back from something, not just you weren't good and
all the sudden he came back from the bench from
the abyss no like but normally and historically and then

(01:24:50):
tell me I'm wrong and feel free to I mean,
he had a fantastic here. I take nothing away from
the year he had, but the year last year, there
was no year to cabarit to if you're gonna be
a coming right, But he was yeah right, he was
on a roster, he had an opportunity to win a job.
Guess what he didn't, right, he wasn't good enough to
playlist year. Now he's come back, come back from what

(01:25:12):
from the dead. That's when he came back, like I'm
a guy like you were hurt he had to miss
a chunk of time due to surgery or whatever like that.
That is historically how his films are hurt because he
didn't have an opportunity to touch the ball. Barkley had
a better comeback year that he did well. That that
that's where I would be going, right at least from

(01:25:34):
where he got a playoff team a quarterback. Nobody believing
because that's part of the playffs literally on those quads.
Squad Zilla. Hey, we're broadcasting live from the tire ac
dot Com studios. Tire act dot com will help you
get there on unmatched selection, fast, free shipping, free road
hazard protection over ten thousand recommended in stallars tire act

(01:25:57):
dot com the way tire buying should be. And it's
funny Bucky brings up the the Jets connection to it all,
because you know, Andy, I gotta deal with Smith and
his um Jets, the Mets and Syracuse that that's his life. Yeah,
well like Syracuse right now, it's in a world of
hurt because Jim Beheim is now just get off my lawn,
old guy, right because yeah, it's it's typical. He's a typical.

(01:26:23):
We're talking about the guy that just moans after a
loss and just his life is miserable, because I get it.
There's certain people like that. I don't know why. I think.
I think there's a class of Syracuse like that. Part
of what you have to do when you send your
college resume is do you have some crotchiness in you?
And that has to be a thing, and then they
bring it out in a class and one of those

(01:26:44):
communication classes. They have to bring it out because everyone
from Syracuse is so crotchy. Now, let's let's make sure
we highlight the other parts fit Jets, Mets, Syracuse, Syracuse.
They're they've at least been relevant, right, a lot of runs.
Only the one title. That's the one Thingever, we do
this in other sports, we should do it for college
basketball to Bayham only has the one title. And that's

(01:27:05):
where everybody's alluding to Carmelo Anthony and whatever inducements there
were to get him to Syracuse for that one year.
But that's a whole other, uh discussion for another time.
You carry the misery of the Mets and Jets with
you all the time, Like I'm a Chicago guy, I
recognize what it is. But no, but that's all you
can do. I don't get I don't get to control it. Right,

(01:27:27):
it's not my money getting spent. It's not my decision
in the in the boardroom and everything else. And I
can stand back and go what are we doing here?
But he's a grown up. He could have he could have.
He could have wiped away his fandom. He could have.
He didn't have to stay. He didn't have to stay
with him. He's grown, he's he's over the age where
he can he can make decisions on his own and say,
you know what, this isn't working for me. He could

(01:27:48):
have broken up with both of those teams. They haven't
brought him a lot in return. No, there there is
something to be said for the undying loyalty. Not unlike
the family dog. People enjoy that. The enjoy That's a
lot of heartbreak, a lot of headache, Right, that's fine.

(01:28:08):
You want to live with that, that's fine. May look,
I love I love the Knicks. I grew up following
the Knicks. Okay, it's disappointing what they have not done
in fifty years, but not done. They win the championship,
you know, if they get to the playoffs, I'm happy.
And they made this year However, that's it. You know,
you watch them a little disappointed when they don't win,
and that's it. You move on. But you can't live

(01:28:29):
and breathe and make it effect your life. Some people
do know, and I'm seeing it right now with Cincinnati,
with Bengal fans. It's up like they're in morning right now,
come on, let it go. It is funny, though, Andy,
because that was one of my critiques, and Bucky remembers this.
Coming out of last year's Super Bowl, I had the
I was blessed to be able to attend through a
friend who had a couple of tickets he couldn't use,

(01:28:49):
so my my brother came out from Chicago. We went
to the game and we enjoyed it and back and forth,
halftime show, all those things that we talk about. And
then we're leaving for the head in the parking lot,
getting back towards the hotel where we stayed down the
road there so nice long walk ahead of us and
the happy go luckiness of the Bengals fans. Andy last

(01:29:10):
year urged me to no end from the I'm happy
to be here, like just from how much money and
time and level, like all these years of the build
up all those teams that you loved with with Marvin
Lewis for all those years. Right, the talent, because that's
the one thing I think we we spotlight on this
game in a million different ways, Right, You're trying to

(01:29:30):
find different angles. We'll see how many times they show
Andrew Read the thirteen year old kick pass punt competitor
all the way through. But I think I think the
right like the last two weeks, we've gotten to put
a little bit more of a shine on his Eagles tenure.
So maybe it'll be a greater appreciation for Donovan McNabb,
Brian Westbrook and all those guys and what they were

(01:29:51):
able to do in those years. Maybe that might be
asking too much because right now it just seems I'll
just put a bigger spotlight and Andrew Andy Reid instead
of some of those players that kept running back to
title games in the NFC. But it's also that, all right,
let's let's go back into these teams histories and kind
of dig through, Right, the Eagles have had their walks

(01:30:15):
in the desert. To go back to that illusion where
you've had some some down years and let's face it,
the NFC East for a long time was the battle
of who's gonna be nine and seven and win this thing?
Maybe ten and six. Otherwise, the cannibalism has always been
there within the division, right it was the NFC least
for so many years because nobody was standing out and

(01:30:37):
over the six games in division they just beat each
other up. But now we're we're looking at like the
histories and going back to the Bengals, not to belabor
the point with them, but it was the reality of
you had a lot of good teams, but they never
got over. But I think you start shining a spotlight
on what Carson Palmer was our own t J houshman
Zada working on up on game and and building his

(01:30:59):
media career, realizing how good he and chad Ocho Sinko
then Johnson were for a long time. That year that
Tarall Owens popped in and had that massive statistical year
and then got Vegas blackjack dealer out of town where
they basically clapped him. That was the end of his
NFL career. But like all of these things conspired to

(01:31:20):
you see this history and near missus and opportunities where
it looked like the build was working, it didn't happen.
So going to the fandom last year, it just irked
me to no end of like whatever, it's just starting.
Like we've seen so many careers that have come and
gone of the NFL grades who got there maybe once
early on the stage. Obviously the poster boy for this
is Dan Marino and the career that he had. It's

(01:31:43):
not that easy because the injury, uh, the fickle hand,
the invisible hand of the injury gods is going to
find you the roster right and mean it changes over
so so much so assuming you're getting back there, just
I don't know. That bugged me last year, but can
you know in direct contrast to what you're bringing up here, Andy,

(01:32:07):
of well, now year two it didn't happen. Look like
maybe folks are starting to recognize we can't take for granted.
We're always gonna have this opportunity. And that's good because
last year after they lost, I'm hearing people say it's
going to be the beginning of a dynasty. We really
a dynasty in the NFL. It doesn't work that way.
It's set up not to have a dynasty. That's what

(01:32:28):
they do. They want the competition well, and you have
to win one for it to have a chance of
a dynasty, you know, like that that's that's the thing
when we talked about like these these moments and and
how big this is, and you're try not to kind
of over dramaticize it in terms of like, hey, it's
the biggest games that these guys are gonna play, but
for some it is this is the only opportunity you

(01:32:50):
have to play on this stage. And I can tell
you haven't been a part of the Carolina Panthers when
we lost to the Patriots, and I was just in
the front office, But I'm telling you, man, it's like
a kick in the gut when you see Anna Ventori
split the uprights to confetti falls and it doesn't fall
on your guys. It falls on the other team and
they get all the other stuff and you just kind
of roped off and they kind of usher you off

(01:33:11):
the field. And you're not a part of what they
call the cool kids club, right. You have to watch
that and you have to endure that stuff. And so
as great as it would be for one team, it'll
be devastating for another team. And I'll say this, I'll
be the first two it. I've never put the uniform on.
I've never played in the big games. I've never played
in the pros. Okay, so I can I can't explain it,

(01:33:31):
but I from the outside looking and I would feel
like this on a week to week basis. You lose
a game, but you go home and say, look, we'll
go back to practice Tuesday and we'll do it again
next week. Over here, it's demoralizing because not only do
you lose, there is no next week, and you can't
do a redo. You can't do it again. You have
to start from scratching August if you want to get

(01:33:53):
back to where you were today. It's very similar to that.
I would say, let's go all the way back to
high school. And maybe you, guys, because you got or
debonnai guys, maybe it never happened to you. Maybe you
never had a girlfriend break up with you. But the
first time that you endure a breakup where the girl
breaks up with you, and you know how like you
you can't eat and you can't sleep, You get that
pit in your stomach and you just like all the

(01:34:14):
music that comes on the radio or these slow songs
that just kind of take you to those moments. That's
what it's like, and it takes a while for you
to get past that. And as a player, I don't
know if you ever get back because you don't get
a chance to do the do over you You you
replay those plays, in those moments that happened in the
game where you wish you could have done something to
change the outcome, but you don't get a chance to

(01:34:35):
do that. And so I didn't know you were a
romantic Bucky Brooks. Yeah, I know, he's a romantic to have,
like a high school crush or someone to break up
with you like I had. It happened a couple of
weeks ago. Walk out on Hollywood Boulevard and all of
a sudden there was the star of Billy Vera, right,
Billy Vera and the Beaters. But what did you think

(01:34:56):
I would do this? Fas chaos ensues, that's Andy Ferman
over there at Andy Ferman VS are right. Here's Bucky
Brooks at Bucky Brooks find me over at swaan window.
I'm out. Mike Carmen, thanks for giving us a few
minutes of your time here on a beautiful, beautiful big

(01:35:18):
latest injury updates. Should somebody stub a toe or maybe
have a little bit of bad chicken or something coming
into tonight, we'll find that, we'll figure it out exactly.
Little stomach distress because you know they're realizing, uh, the
large nature of this opportunity. And a guy who talked
on radio Row was making the rounds as he often does.

(01:35:40):
Another commercial show up a little bit later. One of
the all time great some consider him the goat. Well,
he has some some anger issues that he's still trying
to get over with a former coach. We'll get into
that coming up next. But a reminder. We're brought to

Let's get it on here on Fox Sports Radio. Hey,
welcome back in Fox Sports Radios. Do we call it
Big Games Sunday, Super Sunday thing with the guy in
the place Sunday, Whatever the case may be, We're live

(01:36:25):
from the tire Act dot Com studios, Mike Arment alongside
Bucky Brooks and Andy Ferman having a blast. And Ian
and Bucky got you sept two hours of deep dive
into the super Bowl. We'll get back into that in earnest.
But a lot of stories swirling around the NFL world,
the rumor mill hot with all the radio row content

(01:36:46):
that was flowing out. But there was a right Thompson
look at Joe Montana and getting a little bit of
shine this week, gentlemen. And you know, for those it's
all a matter of age groups, right, Because we watched
Lebron the all time scoring record the other day and
and we're watching it live in the studio. Jason I
looking at each other. Gun Kareem couldn't look like he'd

(01:37:07):
rather be anyone, right, He's uncomfortable in those chairs, and
and Kareem's got his history. But you know, to put
it to the basketball side of things, you've got to
be of a certain age to recognize the player other
than just the numbers. Right, you get a video highlight
now and again, but the long history, the long career
that he had so decorated, so brilliant, going all the

(01:37:29):
way back to his days here at u c l A. Likewise,
Joe Montana I think kind of gets lost in the
annals of history. Was so weird, you know what I mean.
But like the gaudy numbers, now we're looking those games
are forty years ago when he comes into the league
and thinking about that tops rookie card and going all

(01:37:51):
the way through, and you had those two very distinct
forty niners teams. Here's Joe Montana's and then while then
there's Steve Young. And part of the discussion with right
Thompson was that after Leonard Marshall hit him in the
NFC title game in Well, he didn't play in and

(01:38:11):
he insists that he was healthy to go, and he
still has beef with George Seyffert. Evidently they have not
cleared the air, gentleman after all these years. So this
is one of those reminders you got beef with someone,
at least air it out. They cannot care, they can
walk away. But if this has been festering in him
for forty years, I mean, that ain't good man alright

(01:38:32):
thirty two at this point, But why wasn't I allowed
to compete for the job if I had just had
one of the best years I ever had. I can
understand if I wasn't playing well. We'd won two Super Bowls.
I had one of my best years and we were
winning in the championship game when I got hurt? How
do I not get an opportunity? That's the hardest part.
And he was actually banned from the facility about Dana

(01:38:52):
later goes out to say, well, why am I not
allowing the facility? What did I do to not be
allowed in the facility. They wouldn't even let me dress.
And it keeps going and going and saying, well, you
want another Super Bowl? But if I had been there,
you'd been two or three. I like Montana talking up
because right now we're talking about longevity and goat status.
Right with Brady walking away and everybody fitting a crown

(01:39:16):
for Patrick Mahomes head, Joe Montana decided he needed to
pipe up. Uh And I mean, look, but one of
the Super Bowls against the Bengals, sel comes back to
the Bengals, Andy, I'm picking scabs at this point. I'm sorry.
It wasn't It wasn't intentional. I just thought it was
interesting because Joe's really not done done a lot of
media where he's ruffled feathers other than getting people upset about.

(01:39:38):
But you found the new side of Joe Montana hip
because you know what you just talked about an unlast
signal about the fans. They don't let it go to
fanatics and just you know, they're wearing black and I
think they someone died in their family. Joe Montana is
the same way. Maybe it's his competitive spirit. I don't know.
Guy won four super Bowls, he would what three m
vps and the Super Bowl. Tremendous player. They don't doubt
about that. But you know what, you're not Tom Brey,

(01:40:00):
You're not the goat. Let it go? And to bring
it up now after all these years, why now this
wasn't the place all the time, Although I get it,
Radio Row probably is the place because you get that exposure.
But why why joy? It doesn't do any good for anybody,
especially it doesn't do any good for Joe Montana does.
It doesn't make him look any better. He's so envious
and jealous of Tom Brady, and that interview even had

(01:40:22):
them saying that he's rudy for Patrick Mahomes because he
wants it to beat Brady. And the total number of
Super Bowls one in seven. Are you kidding? Come on, really, yeah,
because to me, it kind of reminds me of the
in a weird way that Michael Jordan Lebron debate. Right. So,
the one thing that Joe Montana holds over Tom Brady's

(01:40:43):
He's never lost the Super Bowl, right, He's unbeaten, and
he feels like that if I go to more, I
could have put more distance in space between myself and
the others who are competing for the goat title, because
in his mind he sees himself as the goat. If
we're going to judge it by rings and winning percentage
and all of other stuff. Joe Montana said, hold on,
wait a minute, because for the longest time, that's why

(01:41:03):
we said Joe Montana was the greatest because he went
with four. He had four years four and oh he
had done it in dramatic fashion. He had ushered some Look.
I hate to say this, Andy, but that come back
against the Bengals when he drives it down the field
and hear jont on the slant and Jerry Rice catches
the twenty and it seemed like twenty eight balls in

(01:41:23):
the game. You know, like Joe Montana has these epic moments,
and so I can understand why he's annoyed with the
conversation that, um, tom Brady's the undisputed go because it
hasn't been. We don't dispute it anymore. We've just going
and said, you know what, tom Brady has to go.
He's the greatest. And I think that drive was so

(01:41:45):
great they named Montana Avenue on exit nineteen in Cincinnati.
That's how great it was. There's a Montana Avenue there.
How do you like that? Well? But I think it's
always a great reminder that you need to finish the
job and you do it over in Montana Drive or
Montana Avenue. Someone but someone's got to advocate for him.

(01:42:06):
And I guess this is where it is, right in
the in the Jordan's and Lebron fights. Right, we can
do all these with advanced metrics as people want to
do now, kind of like the Hall of Fame vote.
Like our guy Jason Cole who comes on with us
during the week, he's a Hall of Fame voter. He
was a shame that nine guys are going in Like
psychologically he's having a hard time. It's like we're we're

(01:42:27):
starting to go like I joked, hey are you guys
going pro basketball Hall of Fame kind of thing, and
he goes, hey, it's one here, it's one here, all right.
You gotta you gotta get these people back back in
control because it's always been small classes, and it's it's
supposed to be hard. It's supposed to be hard to
get that next level. And there's the thing that I
don't understand. You don't get any better if you don't
get in at Pete Rose is a big advocate of this.

(01:42:48):
He told me this years ago. He says, I don't
understand why in the Baseball Hall of Fame, if you
don't get in the first time, why would you get
in the second throe of the fourth time? You don't
get any better. I think you don't get in. You
don't get in period. Yeah, it always struck me as right.
I get it if you want to stagger, because you've
got log jams, you've got back history that you gotta
catch up on, and you don't need thirty seven guys

(01:43:08):
going in at the same year or or maybe at
a position you know, more votes and whatever. So you
have that that pecking order that comes in or you
take the unfortunate uh thing of the game takes you
out in the same year that a bunch of guys
walk away right from this year's Hall of Fame class,
guys that just left. You got J. J. Watt and
Tom Brady. There's two spots already and now you're whoever

(01:43:30):
you are. And the backlog or guys that would be
considering it, you're looking at that. But I think for Montana,
part of it is the advocacy where we have it
in basketball, guys of a certain age are always gonna
battle from Michael. You've got a small contingent of folks
that are gonna say, well, you've got Willed, You've got Russell,
you've got Kareem, and you've got Oscar robertson over here.

(01:43:53):
You know, So raise your hand and you'll have a
small number of people that bring them up. Joe Montana.
As history pushes a little bit more, it doesn't get
a raise, but it gets minimized. There are fewer voices
that are advocating for that. But it's funny because you
mentioned the Jordan Lebron thing. Alright, Jordan's perfection has always

(01:44:13):
been what was the decide so while he never lost
in a final, which was like, why didn't Bill Russell go?
I think what's telling about your your argument or debate
is like, as we move on, because we're still at
the generation where we remember watching Joe Montana, you know,
but let's say, like, uh, Danilowski puts his top five

(01:44:35):
all time, it doesn't put Joe Montana on the list,
but see, do you know what he just made you do?
We're sitting here on Fox and you but that maybe
that's a desperate get whatever, but that is I just
don't know. That's a w W E heel move look foolish,

(01:44:57):
but its look foolish. Credibility but not doing that right,
it absolutely does for the for the people that didn't
see Joe Montana or him run out the back of
an end zone. He's a media guy who says hot
take nonsense, and that's all it is, in the hot
take nonsense. So he got clicks, he got views, and

(01:45:17):
people want to fight and debate him. I mean, that's
that's media, and that's that's funny. So but but the
whole thing about like people not being able to recognize
players who played before they were able to look at
them to not be able to give reverence to historical figures,
which is always why I was annoyed, And I've always

(01:45:40):
been annoyed by Bill Russell not being included in debate.
And it's just like, well, Michael Joy is the greatest,
will hold on, if we're talking about winning, it's not
a greater winner than Bill Rings. I'll tell you welcome
on the further, i'llinois when they don't mention Elgin Baylor.
Here's a guy who averaged twenty points and twenty rebounds
a game. But the point this is people don't know history,
they don't want to do their homework, and when they
talk the greatest of the great el Gm Bailor's names

(01:46:02):
should be there with the big o Oscar Robertson. I
know it's a different game today, I get it, but
you have to do in the confine. So when they
played and el Jim Bailor was one of the greatest
to ever play the game, yeah, I think that from
the history lessons of it all, we also go back
to a time where you could do whatever you wanted,
no salary cap, free agency was a twinkle in somebody's

(01:46:24):
eye somewhere, and you had these super teams. Right, So
you look at the cast around Bill Russell, you look
at for Montana and Company. There are a lot of
guys that you could make some arguments towards the Hall
of Fame. And you've got a guy who will sign
if you really urge him, and and you know your
kids they're asking for it. Might actually put the goat
under his his signature with the number eighty. Might have

(01:46:47):
a football that Jerry Rice grudgingly signed that way, he
signed the Goat. I got him. I got him to
do it. No, he know, he generally doesn't. He generally doesn't.
I went to an event with my kid and I
was trying to light into her while we were driving
six hours to this event. I was going to do
an interview with him. We were gonna sit down and
help with some of the drills or whatever. And and

(01:47:08):
in explaining it might have dropped that, you know, the
nickname is the Goat. Right, She's young, She's trying to
get something that's relatable, and all of a sudden you're
calling him a farm animal and explaining why the goat
is a good thing and so and so we're talking like, well,
what do you know about my career? As he grabs
the page because well, I know you're the goat, because

(01:47:28):
can you sign it? Can you sign it like that?
And she just smiled at him. So there it was
underneath one of those guys that trust out the kid.
You know, it's not mine though I didn't. I didn't
guilt anything, he willingly and he was happy, innocent little
girl of this and she thinks that's the greatest, one

(01:47:51):
of the great stories. She still brings it up. She
was like six years old when we did that. She's
gonna graduate high school. And it's still one of those
great things that connected her to job, because there's few
things because, as you know, sometimes sports becomes the enemy guys,
right because of the hours to travel, the getting up
in the middle of the night to do a radio show, uh,
and then being dog tired during the day, Dad, I

(01:48:12):
want to go play. It's like come on, you know
that kind of thing. So this was a way to say, hey,
this is how it connects, and this is why it's
important and building those relationships. And there it is a
little trip down the highways there of Joe Montana. More
quarterback news coming up in a minute, but first we
got to step over for a minute or two to
our guy Kevin Wyret get an update of what happened
on Saturday night and what he's got playing for Super

(01:48:34):
Bowl Sunday. What's going on, Kevin, Yeah, we had a
lot of action Saturday. I'm just gonna go home and
sleep and then wake up a couple hours, probably me
and a buddy gonna hit up a bar and it's
gonna be a fun day. So and you'll find some
chaos along the way once you're wrestling. You did it
every Sunday. Yeah, that's actually true. I mean that is
basically every Sunday for me, So that that is that

(01:48:54):
is true, and routine is a powerful thing. One of
my favorite Sunday pastimes watching football at the bar with
everyone's swearing at the TV's But that's okay. Well, no,
we'll have a couple of XFL games. I think, yeah, right,
I've got And he's like, yep, if I taught that,

(01:49:16):
if I got money on the game, I'm into it.
So see, there you go. There's the great elixir of
it all? Can I bet on it anymore? That? That
is really the great question, as I think George Carlin
once said, if it's not a sport, or if he
can't gamble on it, it's not a sport. So you
can get two guys at the end of the bar
to foot race down the street and bet on it
if you want. All right, what do you got keb?

(01:49:36):
All right? We did have a busy Saturday. UFC to

(01:52:07):
overturned by the officials because they determined that time had
expired before the foul had been committed. However, the a

wrong call. Free throw should have been awarded, but instead

(01:53:12):
little bit after six thirty Eastern on Fox. Back to
you guys, Thank you, Kevin, Mike Garmen alongside Bucky Brooks
and Andy Furman with you, Mark and Brandon making a
sound so so pretty uh this morning. Coming up next,
we'll give you the best for Andy and Bucky what
they're expecting to see a little bit later. Maybe a
nice bold prediction on Rihanna, some other prop because one

(01:53:34):
of the players in the game kind of gave you
a lean and now the books are really hoping it's anything.
But we'll tell you what that is coming up in
a minute. But first, football fans, be sure to tune
in Fox Sports Radios Coupdown and Kickoff presented by bet
MGM every Saturday and Sunday three hours before kickoff. That's right,
Tune in Sunday morning, ten am Eastern, so we take
you live all the way to kickoff on Fox Sports

(01:53:55):
Radio and the I Heart Radio app presented by bet MGM.
That's right. All the prop I've got what thirty pages
or so would you say in front of me here,
Bucky that I brought back from Las Vegas that we
can really chop it up for the next one seven.
A lot of pages, a lot of knows, a lot
of scribble, some wrinkles, stuff that maybe a coffee stain
or two on the paper. There's always a coffee standards.

(01:54:16):
We've been doing this a minute, all right, we'll come
back with all of that as we get you ready
and propel forward here on Super Bowl Sunday on Fox
Sports Radio. Welcome back in Fox Sports Radio. It is
Super Bowl Sunday. We're here with you live from the
Tire Act dot Com studio. Is very excited culmination of
a long arduous journey from those signings and wheelings and

(01:54:41):
dealings that began Radio Row a year ago. And now
we have player movement, injuries, twists and turns to lead
us to well, the two number one seeds, uh making
it to the Super Bowl. I would be remiss and
we didn't bring this up amongst all these pages of
prop that's guys, the gatorade color always comes up. Lane

(01:55:01):
Johnson told the media that yellow has been the team's
gatorade color all season long. So thirty nine percent of
all the money was going in on bed MGM on
yellow green on its prop. So the price went from
plus three fifty two plus one fifty with the term
quote significant liability attached to it. How you like that?

(01:55:26):
Because when you get into these prop bets and and
this is where you know, with Rihanna halftime songs and
whatever in a lot of books. You can't get that
because there's perfect information. Right, someone has seen the seen
the rehearsals. You've got leaks of the National Anthem, folks

(01:55:46):
wondering if Chris Stapleston doesn't just take his guitar for
a walk at some point to take it over the
minute fifty nine, or I had seen it at two
oh two and then it kind of crept a little
bit there. So so you got that. So I've I've
got like thirty pages of things here, Andy. Some of
them might inform how you would think the game's gonna go.
Jalen Hurts fifty and a half rushing yards is his

(01:56:08):
over under. Miles Sanders sixty and a half rushing yards
is his over under. We did a little thing Smith
and I on Friday night as we were closing out
our show from the the Blue Wire Studios there at
the Wind Las Vegas. That was so much fun to
go there because we we had people wandering the hall.

(01:56:28):
Andy that uh, stop Jason in his tracks. He's a
guy that normally doesn't come up for air very much
once he because he knows I'm just gonna argue with
him and beat his points down. But we had a
couple of women that were waiting to get into a club,
and let's just say they started to dance a little
bit in the hallway. My guy's jaw dropped about three
feet to the desk. It might have been one of

(01:56:49):
the funniest things I've ever seen. I don't know. I
think I have video, I haven't been able to parse
it out yet. I got back in uh in Town
yesterday and was immediately on a sock her pitch with
my daughter within an hour of landing. It's like, what
are we doing? And I gotta pick her up and
she's got cleats in hand and a big smiles, like,
all right, I guess that's the afternoon. Let's get it on. Hey,

(01:57:11):
no days off. Back to the lab as we go.
So I gave you a couple of things on the
eagle side, you guys breaking it down as we get
in here, uh Andy, let me start with you your
your best for today? What are you looking for in
this game where I met earlier? I hope you will
agree because I think that Kenneth Gainwell, this guy has
picked up a lot of speed at the running back position.

(01:57:32):
For a week's thirty eighteen game. Well at fifteen carries,
and now all of a sudden in the playoff rounds
got the Giants. He rushed for a career high hundred
twelve yards and a touchdown, carried fourteen times in the
NFC Championship game. I think that that ground game obviously
is pivotal for them, But I think here's the guy
that's really gonna make some waves today and he could
be one of those under under under the radar guys,

(01:57:53):
an unheralded hero at the end of the day. Great
minds thinking alike, when we did our if it's not
my homes or hurts, then who m v P? I
took gainwill in a hundred booking for one of those
jail break kind of plays that gets you over the top.

(01:58:14):
Now we'll also be debating whether Boston Scott is a
football player or a radio caller, as we do every
time his name comes up, right, That that is that
is always part of it. But when we look at
the Eagles rushing total as a team, the overunder is
set at a hundred forty four and a half yards
hundred forty four and a half that that is a

(01:58:35):
pretty spicy number for a Super Bowl. That's a lot
of yards, right, So alright, bucky for you? Who's uh,
who's the guy that just shines? If you your best bet,
if you're trying to make people smarter at the water
cooler or at their inevitable Super Bowl party where maybe
they're in charge of bringing the wings, or or maybe

(01:58:56):
just a nice frosty beverage. Uh. Juju Smith shoe Ster
could be the guy because if you look at um
the kan City Chiefs, if you're the Eagles and you
think about how to defend him, you gotta take away
Travis Kelsey. Jered McKinnon is going to get a lot
of attention because of the number of touchdown dud he has.
Juju Smith Schuster could be the guy that scores a
couple of touchdowns because all of the attention is elsewhere

(01:59:19):
and he sneaks in he does the Juju dance a
couple of times. Would you believe I like that? Would
you believe the odds for them? McKinnon six one, he
was the other guy that was my other people another
jail break right, the defensive line coming up and he's
just passing. But here's the problem is that Patrick Mahomes
gets credit for every one of those yards he runs for. Yeah. Yeah,

(01:59:42):
so I'm I'm the advocate of you. Don't you only
get credit for air yards anymore? Everything else is the
work of the guy. Yeah, just air yards. Well, I
just want to start giving more love to the guys
that then have to juke a bunch of defenders looking
to take their heads off in the open field. Because right,
because if if he does that, if McKinnon does have, say,

(02:00:03):
us whatever fifty yard sixty yard reception that's going and
patting the stats and making mahome is more likely an
m v P, isn't it. Yeah, I don't think though.
I don't think he will. I think it'll be some
some sort of an unknown. I don't think it'll be hurt. So,
oh my homes giveing the m v P. Let me
give you one more prop bat over under total number
of field goals is three. I think it'll be over.

(02:00:27):
I gotta be over the total total of both teams
over three, gotta be you're gonna take. Yeah, see, I'm
going if if I'm gonna buy into the defense is
being as good as they are, I'll take the over there.
So maybe bunker at two hundred one. No, I'm just
kidding Andie enjoyed Super Bowl Sunday. I've been. It's a
pleasure to do this all year with you and look

(02:00:48):
forward to the next iteration here as we keep going.

Week Radio row. All of these things we get the montage.
We get the greatest games, the rankings, this rankings, that,

(02:01:53):
some nonsensical rankings. As we discussed last hour, he who
shall not be named getting a lot of one for
an obvious Hey, if I leave this guy out, I'll
get some extra run kind of thing on a quarterback list.
Maybe we could do one of those lists before we're
done here today. Mike Arment, alongside Bucky Brooks, played in
the league. You read them over at NFL dot Com,
c MNFL Network, Fox Sports. One Man about Town, helped

(02:02:17):

and Crown is now on the updates with us Kevin Wyrett.
Uh is gonna go get his nap ahead of the

donuts are their courtesy of one Bucky Brooks. That's an

(02:02:38):
important show update, right. We're all about morale, We're all
about positivity here. Uh in the studio is just talking
with Brandon, our executive producer. Uh Ethan one of our
our producers here at Fox Sports Radio. Bucky he was
on a plane overnight to go and enjoy the Super
Bowl with his boys back in Philly and Brandon and
Brandon stepping up and and help been out in the

(02:03:00):
process to make sure that the line keeps moving. In
the files and all the highlights of what's expected to
be a huge game over under has gone up to
fifty two. That's a full point move over the last
forty eight hours. Uh, the game is now a pick them.
I'm just excited that we're actually talking about the game
being played today. It seems like it's been a hot
minute since we actually got to watch some football. Yeah,

(02:03:23):
I mean, look, two weeks been a long time. But
I mean we did get a chance to see the
uh Pro Bowl games. Over six million people watch. But
what did I tell you though we we talked about
it last week. I mean that is for as much
as folks want to bemoan it and hate it. Look,
you didn't like the egg toss or cornhole or whatever,
I get that, don't watch, But like for the game itself.
I mean, they're they're playing chess, man, They're gonna watch

(02:03:46):
if you put NFL and football behind it, if you
put it on your TV. Guy, if it says anything
of those combinations, people are going to tune in. They
could have been played a video game. Six million people
would watch, people watched. The flag football game has just
created more farther on how they can do it even
bigger when it comes to the flat football stuff. It
was it was a hit. It was, i will say,

(02:04:08):
and watching it, it was fairly entertaining watching the players.
Du tyree killed get up after you tried to. Uh
got a little bit creative happens. Yeah, a little friendly fire.
He's okay, a little friendly fire. It's just one of
those as everybody goes through because we remember the days
of beach football games as festivities back in the day

(02:04:30):
that you have that unstable ground, unstable ground Robert art
Pot I think Tor Patel had really messed himself up
on the beach after a successful rookie season. It was
never the same again. But yeah, now this is this
is different. This was different. It was actually fun to watch.
I mean, let's be real, it's what the Pro Bowl

(02:04:53):
had amounted to the last couple of years. I mean,
guys weren't really taking shots. It's it's that mix of
energy and that stuff. But we've got to see guys
in a different environment. And so yes, we had a
week away from it. We had the flag football in between.
But now we get back to the main deal. We
get back to the main course. That was like a
little advertiser for what is to be. But this is
one that we have talked about talking about two teams

(02:05:15):
that are loaded at star power. We have recognizable names.
We have quarterbacks that people want to see. Pat Mahomes
trying to see if he can get closer towards Tom
Brady status. We have Jalen Hurts who's trying to I said,
maybe validate himself as one of the top young quarterbacks
in the game. And so there's a lot of entrigue
around this game. Yeah, it's been curious just watching the

(02:05:38):
narratives about the two quarterbacks. And that's where we'll stay.
That's where like go where the popular people are and
watch the world and Domino's fall. We've got Mahomes and
Hurts both plus one your favorites for for m v
p UH and our Countdown to kick Off show. They'll
go through all of these UH and probably many of
the thirty plus pages of prop that so you might

(02:05:59):
have will find a notebook while you're listening to us,
wherever that may be. We appreciate you being with us
all of our four D plus affiliate thanks to the
program directors there and you for listening and clamoring for
the content that we give you. The I Heart Radio
app always growing the podcast. You can always grab those
Fox Sports Weekend to go back and and either validate
what we had to say or try to tear us down,

(02:06:20):
which is gonna work. But the quarterbacks the two narratives
that you flow through, right because coming into the year,
you have some folks like my my co host during
the week, uh, Jason Smith. I'll give him a lot
of grief for stuff gone terribly wrong where the emotion
may play in and take you to a deep dark
place when it starts to go arrived where you deny

(02:06:41):
you ever had that. He did have the Eagles going
to the super Bowl before the season. He did call
for Jalen Hurts to win the m v P one
odds by the way, uh. And so when the vote
came down NFL Honors on Thursday, in addition to the
Hall of Fame voting and everything else, he was salty
about it and how do you do this? And I

(02:07:01):
tried to just remind him of all right, number one
many people, not us, certainly not me, because I had
the Chiefs winning at all. I didn't dive off the
bandwagon just because Tyreek Hill was gone, give me the coach,
give me the quarterback. They'll figure it out enough. The
personnel is not gonna That's how I felt about the Chiefs,
that the personnel wasn't gonna drop off decidedly. And Mahomes

(02:07:22):
is that much of a talent that you're gonna find
The had eight different guys with at least two hundred
fifty receiving yards this year. He had a running back
who came out of nowhere. They signed Melvin Gordon off
the street. He's well still hoping and wishing that he
can get an opportunity to play. But McKinnon a revelation
as a receiver and as a as a pass blocker
and all of those things. Pacheco Little heralded another one

(02:07:45):
of those great examples of why am I paying running backs?
You know that that that narrative springs back up out
of this as well, Bucky. But when it came time
for money on the line with Mahomes, he saw that
the numbers were even greater than a year ago when
he had Tyreek Hill more operationally efficient, uh and big
gaudy production for this Chief's team, whereas Jalen Hurts to

(02:08:07):
some degree, it gets lost in the They've got the
better roster because that's one of the big talking points
as people start predicting the game. They've got the better
roster from top to bottom. The offensive line play and
you can't go too deep into this team. Obviously, the
seventy plus sacks is a whole other thing off the chart,
but from the offensive side of things, you don't get

(02:08:29):
deep into the narrative. And yes, his legs are part
of it, but it's all about the run game production
for the Eagles, which is going to take away some
of the luster of trying to say, hey, Jalen Hurts
was the guy. Yeah, and I think with Jalen Hurts
and some of these dual thrip quarterbacks, you have to
consider total yards responsible for and total testdowns responsible for. Um.

(02:08:53):
You cannot credit the Eagles running game without pointing to
Jalen Hurts as the centerpiece of that game, whether he's
actually running or not. The threat of Jalen Hurts running
or executing a design quarterback run some kind of option
play Uh, sometime of some type of r PO has
expanded their running game and it's made it very explosive.

(02:09:18):
And so even though some games he may come out
with two twenty total yards, the impact is significant because
let's look at what the running backs behind him. The
game will go for round hundred uh miles senters. This
guy who finished with over twelve rushing yards, how many
of those are due to defenders their eyes kind of
lingering a little long on Jalen Hurts and then before

(02:09:39):
you know it, he slipped past you. So it's it's
one of those things where you cannot include, uh, you
cannot exclude Janden Hurts from discussion whenever you talk about
the field differ Eagles and the talent laden that the
superstar qualities that they have throughout this offensive roster. Yeah,
I guess it was just more of the argument I
started having with him because he thought Hurts was robbed, Like,
all right, look at the voting and he missed he

(02:10:01):
missed those two games. Now I would say this, if
he plays those two games and then they give it
to Pat Mahomes. Maybe, but because he left the door
open two games, garniment show starts. Uh. They lose, which
should have pointed back to him like being very valuable.
He comes back at the end of the year to
close the door on the New York Giants, and so
his numbers fell off a little bit because despite Pat

(02:10:25):
mahomes forty plus touchdowns and those things, I think twenty
three of those were tight red zone throws within the
ten and maybe within the five yardland where Andy Read
kind of dialed it up to make sure that this
guy got he could easily handed off Pacheco, and Pacheco
could have had a Priest Holmes type of year with
thirty some touchdowns. But Pat Mahomes gets credit for those

(02:10:45):
little easy times, right. It's all about parsing out credit
on all of this. But I guess the the larger
part I was making was the the idea of the
Chiefs are propped up as real or imagine as you say,
like Patchecko or even McKinnon as a runner or options.
See if you go down the Philadelphia Eagles round of hey,

(02:11:06):
we got a bunch of guys that can do this. Uh,
if those rushing totals are higher than sure, it evens
out a bit. But the narrative the last two weeks
has really been about the roster building of the Eagles
as much as the player, or more so than the
play of Jalen Hurts. And I don't think it's a
conscious thing to to denigrate anything Hurts is done, but

(02:11:26):
to just show in this league where you have such
Turtlever we're talking about that a little bit, going back
and owing to the days of Joe Montana and such.
It's just a different game where you're cycling out when
you go to clean out your locker on Tuesday, or
whether you won or loss, half those guys probably in
coming back. Yeah, No, that's that's what it is. And
you're right, half those guys aren't coming back, and you
have to be able to, you know, kind of pick

(02:11:47):
up and move on and and and find a way
to to to get it done. And you're write a
lot of this is always about credit, And I will say,
to his credit, Jevin Hurts has been one that has
talked about the team over herself. He's never necessarily getting
caught up about the individual accolades. He's very dismissive when
people try and put it on him as opposed to
the team. And I believe that's one of the reasons

(02:12:10):
why he is viewed as a great leader within that
locker room. Everybody likes it when the star of the
team shares the credit, like it or not, the quarterback
is typically the star of the squad. He's been very
deferential when it comes to how he puts the spotlight
in the attention on everybody else. As opposed to being
a guy that looks like a mega, he has been

(02:12:31):
all about the team, and I think that's why the
team and the city loves him. Now. I know they
did a bunch of interviews Dick Sabe and all these
other people. I gotta think the college experience and what
transpired there with two and all. Oh yeah, I mean
he he got humbled, not because he failed in the NFL,
but because he had some adversity there. And it wasn't
he failed. You just were pinpoint and dominating. So they

(02:12:54):
called an audible and moved on and and to have
made big plays. But you you now have this opportunity
here with a squad around you. We you and I
were off air talking all about this offensive line. Just
a great example of all right, it's great. Now you've
got two guys that may hang them up as soon
as the clock strikes zero. We I mean, we may
know by the end of the week. Hey Lane Johnson

(02:13:14):
and Jason Kelsey say, hey, it's been a good run.
I'll take my second Super Bowl. I'm out, you know.
And here's what's great about what the Eagles have done.
They already have replacements in the holster. Like last year
they drafted Cam Jorgen's a center to replace Jason Kelsey.
They have a few options at offensive taco. Remember people
don't even talk about they took Andre Dillett with a
first round pick. Office attack from Washington, joined my my

(02:13:37):
a lot of outplayed him and earned a starting role
at left tackle, got an extension, and those things. And
so the Eagles already have that. And if they don't
want to go that route, they have two first round picks,
one of those being the tenth overall pick in the draft.
And so you talk about a team that not only
has drafted, will not only as signed h free agents
that were nice plug and play guys. They've developed their

(02:14:00):
years too. And so this is a team right now
that is kind of like the model franchise for how
to get it done. And you can say the same
thing about Kansas City in a different way. The way
they quickly rebuild their offensive line in a year that
was last year, the way they quickly rebuilt their white
receive A corps this year after losing Tyreek Hill Um.
Two different ways to get it done. But they're here,
and both of these guys have kind of set both

(02:14:22):
of these teams have said blueprints that other teams can
follow to put their teams in a position to succeed. Well,
I think it's the beautiful thing. And someone needs to
go point back to Jerry Jones who tried to dismiss
how done this? You know? And and we look at
just the process. And you and I have talked about
this for as long as you and I have been
doing shows here at Fox Sports Radio. When you're talking

(02:14:44):
about culture, continuity, consistency, very few teams are allowed. You're
not allowed to have a down year or a mediocre
year before someone gets itchy and it hits the ejact
button on you anymore. And you're looking at a squad
in Philadelphia. Look how quickly they got these things righted

(02:15:05):
and back into this position. I mean they they really did.
And here's what people won't do because it was the joke.
I think we were working together when it was um
the joke of the quarterback factory when Howie Roseman and
Doug Peterson at the time, uh, there was a conversation
of hey, now we want Philadelphia to be a quarterback

(02:15:26):
factory where we always invest in the quarterback. It's the
most valuable position on the field, is the one that
brings back the greatest currency when you have one that
isn't playing, and so we always want to be in
that business. So when they draft Jalen Hurts in the
second round and they have those quotes and then Carson
Wentz melts down and falls apart, and the joke was

(02:15:46):
on the Eagles because now you had a franchise quarterback
who no one thought that Jalen Hurts was going to
get on the field. But the franchise quarterback falls apart.
You put the young guy in. The team responds to
the young guy. And then the next year they wrote
with the young guy, they make the playoffs. They switched
the offense in the middle of year to suit the
talents of the young guy. And then this year everything

(02:16:07):
was about what they need to get into the Shaun
Watson race. They need to go a head and upgrade
the quarterback. They have all the pieces in place, but
the quarterback man, Why wouldn't they trade off those picks
to get de Shaun Watson and lorn Behole. Jenleen Hurst says,
the Philadelphia Eagles exactly where they want to be in
a super Bowl, and now they have an opportunity to

(02:16:27):
build strength on strength, to add more pieces around him
to enable him to be an even better player as
he goes forward, and eventually, I mean I think he's
he will be going into year four, it's gonna be
time to do a contract. And that's the thing we
start talking about. The numbers and silly season. Lamar Jackson
still swirling out there, so we'll talk about that because

(02:16:47):
there's his potential deal or destinations. Informs a lot of
what's gonna happen here going forward. But you love the
bill Devonte Smith bringing a J. Brown and Dallas God
or the guy everything we start doing all of the
the run. Because my daughter, being the big soccer player,
she's still had it in her head zach Ertz that

(02:17:10):
they were still in Philadelphia, like, no, actually he's in Arizona.
I got to tell her, tell her about Geo the podcaster.
Hopefully he and his family have a wonderful time. Just
a great story, but earth stepping forward to that, so
like making that human connection to and she goes, I
don't really have a reason to root for the Eagles,
and now do I? I go? I don't know. You'll
have to decide whether they legacy. Let me tell you
about Dallas Goddard. Let me tell you about the new

(02:17:31):
tight end that's there one by the way. M vpods
on Dallas Goddard for later on today he's Bucky Brooks
up by car. But we're just getting warmed up with
this hour here Fox Football Sunday Super Bowl edition here
Fox Sports radiing. We'll get into the game in earnest
try to play some of the chess pieces and see
if we can't get a checkmate along the way. Were

Welcome back in Fox footballs Sunday here Fox Sports Radio
having a blast with you alive from the Tire Act
dot Com Studios, Mike Harmon alongside Bucky Brooks at Bucky

(02:18:14):
Brooks on Twitter where you find him read him ANFL
dot Com, c um NFL Network. Uh my guy here
for several years here on Sunday mornings, we chop it up,
go through all the good, the bad, the ugly, the
NFL season. I'm sad to see it go away on
sub level. You know you need that break right, that
little distance to make you love it again. But it

(02:18:36):
never goes away. See because here here's what happens. I'm
gonna the games quick synopsis of the NFL calendar. Like,
I don't know if you know this, but after this
game in two weeks, I'm at the Indianapolis the NFL Combine. Well,
because you were just at the Shrine Game, so we
didn't have like yet last week. We had so many

(02:18:58):
things going on. Well, but at least to give it
its a minute, because you're talking about the new guys
coming into the Senior Bowl. And so now the Super
Bowl is this weekend. They have cleverly tied in the
East West and the Shrine Bowl with Pro Bowl week,
so it's always a football the stravaganza. And then you
have the super Bowl. You have a weekend to take

(02:19:19):
a deep breath. That would be next weekend. Uh, there's
an all star game, the HBCU Legacy Bowl, where all
the black college stars will play. And then that Tuesday
the NFL Combine Stars. And this week we also started
getting things about contracts right with Derek Barr and all
these things. You go to bed on Valentine's Day, hopefully
you're all smiling and happy, uh and not singing those

(02:19:42):
songs of regret and like you're talking about last hour
that you know you you wake up and we've got news.
But I mean all the quarterbacks that are in the
new we haven't even gotten to deep digs. You've got
Aaron Rodgers going into chamber, back back back to being
Aaron Rodgers. Yes, well but that's that's the that's the
larger thing, and all of these domino the dark chamber

(02:20:02):
to figure out he has to go and sleep in
a dark dungeon for four days to determine what he
wants to do next year, where he plays for the
Green Bay Package or not. Yeah, so you have you know,
you know, I mean it always comes back to I.
I try to wrap my arms around everybody. I don't
have to understand there's a lot of things in this
world and said that I think someone, I think someone.

(02:20:22):
A couple of former players got out and he was like,
you know, I just wish that you guys would come
with compassion and no judgment. And I was like, man,
I like, I talk me through your process. That's all.
That's I think. That's all a lot of people are asking, like,
you're gonna take it at it different? I like, I
like to go in the dark room for four days. Okay, cool,
what do you do? You whatever that's gonna do, whatever

(02:20:44):
is playing in your mind's eye, If you got some
music with you, whatever, the case is good on you.
But you got that, you got the Derek Card decision
released or traded. You've got all these other quarterbacks. The
Jimmy g is he the guy for the Raiders. Jason
Smith losing his mind with the Jets. We were in
Vegas and he was trying to convince everybody that Rogers
shouldn't come there, that the Jets needed it more. As

(02:21:07):
he said, Rogers more. How did that didn't work out great?
When they had well, Jill's arm got ripped up. He
was playing some pretty good football before he got hurt,
you didn't want to be there, like it was all
just a waste station kind of situation. But if he'd
stayed healthy, it would have been curious to see what

(02:21:27):
that back end of that season would have looked like.
But either way, the point being, you know, he's a
he's a man in an an act of desperation. But
go back to Lamar Jackson. Tagged seems likely, but can
he get dealt? And that informs some of the Jalen
Hurts contract? What are those final dollars? And like, that's
the beauty of the offseason for me. I love the

(02:21:48):
business of the NFL, so I I I have no shortages.
A lot of other folks will look at it with
glassy eyes because you know, they just worry about the
you know, final box scores of things. But the silly
season begins in earnest as you say, you get into
the combine and we start getting into the measurables and
and trying to figure out if we can glean some

(02:22:09):
insights all of that out of all of that activity.
But yeah, the the NFL doesn't go away. It's just
the idea that on Sunday mornings, I have appointment viewing,
yes and am right, yes, yeah, a lot of the
point of viewing will disappear and all those honey due
last I'm talking for everybody out there, wherever you may be.
Thank you for being part of our extended family. All

(02:22:31):
those to do list that you got to push off
week after week because it was the most important game
of this last weekend. This is the last weekend that
you can kind of say, oh, you know, I got
a one o'clock date with the Cowboys playing, or four
o'clock or you know again as the Cowboys, don't you

(02:22:52):
don't You don't have that uh to leno. So you
have to find something else to do or you're just
gonna have to do. You have to get to it.
You have to get to it on Saturday, and you know,
find a way to give yourself a day off on Sunday.
But yeah, the chores I have to be done, and
don't worry. The NBA started getting into quote meaningful games. Yeah, yeah, trade.

(02:23:12):
So we started talking about the trade bucket and the
trade machine and the different teams, and all of a sudden,
all the power went from east to west and a
lot of a lot of intrigue Kyrie Irving and Luca
do you had Katie going to Phoenix? Um, you have
buyouts stappen and Thursday Night right because you've seen some
reports on stuff and Smith fashioned himself but would be

(02:23:34):
inside or whatever. And we had actually talked about Durant,
like there's that outside chance that something happens with Phoenix.
Literally we're on air like an hour later and there
it is, like, all right, they made the move. And look,
I always fortune favors the bold. I know folks might
have lost some level of their savings in in the
crypto world, but they used it in that Matt Damon
commercial that everybody panned because he hadn't slept for four

(02:23:57):
months before he recorded it. It's like he was doing
them Orshan Part two. Well, the idea being that you know,
you take big swings, and that's what I like when
you have new ownership or uh maybe a team like
Philly or or Kansas City and we tie it all
together of where you've got some continuity and you know
and trust the people in the building that you could

(02:24:18):
take some bigger swings now and again. And and that's
the thing I loved seeing for Phoenix. You got a
new owner and he just says, all right, what can
we go get? Yeah, okay, let's see if that can work.
Because what did they give up? They didn't give up
anybody of the stars. Can you make DeAndre eight and happy?
Chris Paul? Can you keep them up? Right? Well, I
mean that's that And that's the thing because they swapped

(02:24:41):
out an older deal and didn't you talk about Chess.
So I guess Chris Paul's contract expires an end of
this year, so that means they'd be in need of
a point guard. Right, So then you know who else's
contract expires the end of this year, right? That we
one Kyrie Irvin so they could do it all over
again from from well too. Yeah, I'm trying to part through.

(02:25:02):
I was having to write a book of all the
best buddies so they can do it all the hard
and had to chime in on it all. I did,
like Kyrie's post press conference, not to make it about
the NBA, but they did steal some of the headlines.
I was like, I'm glad he got out is what
he said. They're saying. I like, all right, now I
need to tell all the book of what's going on
behind the scenes there what really happened in Brooklyn, and

(02:25:22):
then the Lakers obviously make a bunch of moves that
make the roster better. But they had to make moves
because some people weren't celebratory after le Brian hit the
shot to surpass Karema do Jabar, it wasn't a love
fest amongst the team. I really thought Anthony Davis could
throw a jersey at him because you know, he didn't
play the final four plus minutes of that game. They
ended up losing by three. You tapped out, He fresh out.

(02:25:45):
He went so hard trying to get the record. He's
fresh saying that defensive effort by my man on that play,
Are you kidding me? That was the biggest give up.
And I love Bryant down in the low post. They
shuffled him out of town. You called for the ball,
my shot, You're out. You come in the King You
best not miss. I'll tell you what omar coming? Uh?

(02:26:05):
He is Bucky Brooks out Bike Armen, Fox Football Sunday.
Here Fox Sports Radio. We will continue in earnest with
the Super Bowl. Start playing with the chess pieces here
in just a moment. But first we kick it over
to our guy, Isaac Loewen Crown with a quick wrap
around the world of sports. What's up, Buddy, donut? Oh oh?

(02:26:25):
Our top story. Bucky Brooks has been named Fox Sports
Radio Colleague of the Month for February. Yeah. Animous picture
will be up on the window any minute. Gosh, I
gotta get cracking on that. Thank you, Thank you, Bucky.
My stomach, thanks you. My left ventricle is currently struggling

(02:26:46):
to contract. But I'm sure that's purely coincidental, and it's
you know what, it's making your body work harder. That's
a great way to think of it. So we salute Bucky.
Welcome news to find those donuts there. Thank you. There
was no unwelcome news overnight from Super Bowl fifty seven
in Arizona. It's so quiet, in fact, let's check the
headlines from the top newspapers in the towns of the

(02:27:10):
Philadelphia and Kansas City. So quiet that one of the
top stories in the Philadelphia Inquire newspaper at this hour is,
and I quote, it's superb Owl Sunday, and we're singing
the praises of Pennsylvania's bird life superb Owl and see

(02:27:30):
what they did there? You know what, I just got
a superb Owl hat from my good folks at Goren. Alright,
those trucker hats with the animals on their animal farm.
This week's was the superb Owl, so it's got a
cool picture of an owl and it just says superb
That must be where they got the idea. Meanwhile, one
of the headlines in the Kansas City Star newspaper, Chiefs
fan Paul Rudd makes an appeal to referee Carl Scheffer's

(02:27:55):
ahead of Super Bowl. So no scandalous headlines involving players
from either team. Meanwhile, in the NBA on Saturday night,
the duo of Kyrie Irving and Luca Dante made its
debut is Their Dallas Mavericks lost at Sacrametto at overtime
one thirty three to one eight because the King's the
Aaron Fox scored thirty six, including fourteen in ot, Irving

(02:28:15):
scored twenty eight and dont chat at twenty five. Lakers
one at Golden State and one o nine to one
oh three. Lebron James and Steph Curry sat out because
of injuries, but Dennis Shrewder scored twenty six for the Lakers,
D'Angelo Russell fifteen points and six assists in his Lakers debut,
and the Cleveland Cavaliers increased their wedding streak to six
with a ninety seven eight nine went over the Chicago

(02:28:37):
Bulls mind twenty nine from Donovan. It was the Caves one.
Nothing about beating the Bulls and anything else. The Cavaliers.
The Cavaliers outscored an opponent wearing red from the Midwest.
Back to you, I hate you and everything you stand for.
Well that doesn't matter because I hate doesn't extend to
my stomach. He's like, I got a donut and Bucky's

(02:28:59):
the m v P. It was more just the obligatory
mocking of the Bulls that at this point everybody stayed
at the trade deadline and they still stink back to
you at Isaac Loowan Crown where you find him on Twitter, Ilo,
good to see you this fine morning, Fox Football Sunday. Here,
Super Bowl superb Owl audition. Here he's Bucky Brooks out

(02:29:21):
by Karmen so referee uh acknowledgement. There, Carl Scheffers and
his crew getting ready to work. You know they called
the most penalties this year, Bucky eleven, more than Brad
Allen's crew for Cleet Blakman's crew. As you start rolling
through over a hundred nine penalty yards per game, that

(02:29:47):
that's not something you're feeling. And you start going through
the records, Eagles with him not very good. Chiefs much better,
uh in this iteration when he's been on the field
with them. So it is a curiosity because, look, let's
face it, as much as we love the action on
the field, the worst thing is when we have days

(02:30:09):
of the aftermath where the officials are in the spotlight.
And that happened for the a f C title game,
and I'm glad we're removed from it. Obviously, it's now
triggering some anger issues in Cincinnati. I know it's cold,
they're always have an extra cord of wood that you
need to chop or something. Get that anger and or
maybe get a slam man, get one of those little
workout things that you can go punch, you know, and

(02:30:30):
and everything's good. Dissipate that energy, make it, make it
useful as you go. But he the NBA trade deadline,
everything else, it muted what was a pretty ugly forty
eight hours for the NFL. Thereafter, and then Roger Goodell
in his State of the Union address, bringing up, Well,
the officiating has never been better. I don't know what

(02:30:51):
else anybody expected him to say. And on some level, sure,
you're more scrutinized, which means any mistakes or perceived mistake
are going to be called upon. We talked about it
a little bit last week, but a number of former
NFL offensive lineman pointing to points in the rule books
of how things have been amended related to holding. So
what may look like a whole technically by the rules,

(02:31:13):
it's actually been changed to where it's not. But that
would be the worst thing for the Super Bowl, especially
coming out of the a f C where a lot
of folks feel like it was the end of a
pay per view where someone sneaks away with a belt
and you're left going, we'll see on raw on Monday
and we'll sort it all out. That's kind of where
we were at coming out of the a f C

(02:31:34):
title game. Uh, there's something to that UM as it
relates directly to this game. I talked to some one
earlier hours. As players, the only thing you want to
do is you want consistency, and so however the game
is going to be called, you want the game UM
call like that normally in the postseason, normally, is that

(02:31:55):
is an opportunity for you to kind of play. They
let the guys play. They don't want to the officials
don't want to decide the game. And so if that
is the case, then what that means is in the secondary,
you can be a little handy, a little more grabby,
becomes a little more physical on the outside, a little
more pushy. Where it's the five yard chuck rule, you
may take it to about seven to eight to see

(02:32:15):
if you can put your hands on people. When it
comes to press coverage, you may um be a little
more physical. You may hold on and maybe you get
a little jersey and see what you can get away
with in the first quarter. And if they allow you
to play um beyond the line in the first quarter,
but then you know where the terms are. However, if
they call the flags early, then you back off and

(02:32:35):
then you have to settle down and say, Okay, this
is gonna be a game where it's a little more
ticky tack and we have to adjust accordingly. But much
like in the n C Double A Tournament back in
the day, Arkansas when Nolan Richardson forty minutes away and
they were pressing in. They would say, they're not gonna
call all of them, so we're gonna keep nipping at
your Wristshawks did. It's what the Patriots did. I mean,

(02:32:57):
all the great secondaries the last twenty. So depending on
how this game is called, we could see a very
different game. It may not be the high scoring game
that we see if they're clutching and holding and doing
those things. But if they're making it a very tiki
tech game, well yeah, and then it's gonna it's not
gonna have any rhythm to the game. And so it's
that fine line where you want to call the obvious

(02:33:19):
the egregious eRASS. Let's play a little bit. It's through
that out there. Dre Is Slay eighty two one to
win m v P. Gardner Johnson at one fifty to one. Well,
I mean, when you get a lot of interceptions, you
have an opportunity. And I will say this about Pat
mahomes Uh, he's great, but typically in every game he
throws one or two balls that on it's on the

(02:33:41):
defense you have to catch him. Well, but that's the thing, right,
I mean, so we do this with a lot of
quarterbacks where those balls get magnified and unfortunately every once
in a while, yeah, that goes the other way. But
we watched it with Brock Purty and the rise of
Brock Purdy. There were a couple of games where he
could have easily had a three or a four spot
put up in the interception tally, guess what guys are

(02:34:03):
defensive back? Sorry, Bucky? For a reason is that there.
It's hard. You don't see you're you're trying to react
to you. I mean there's a lot going on. Sometimes
you don't get your head fully turned around, you can't
get the second arm up. I mean, there's a million reasons,
but there's a lot of those balls were like got
away with one there. For brock Purty, it was a
charmed life for most of it. And for Patrick Mahomes

(02:34:27):
thus far. I mean, the football gods have doth smiled
on him for more times than not. So curiosity, we'll
talk about how this is gonna play out as we
continue here live from the tire Act dot Com studios.
He's Bucky at Bucky Brooks. Find me over at Swollen
Dome on Mike Rmen. We continue as Super Bowl coverage
superbo Owl coverage here on Fox Sports Radio is just

(02:34:48):
getting started. Welcome back in It's Fox Football Sunday. Here
Fox Sports Radio. Bucky Brooks and I on Mike Carmen.
Thanks for being with us this morning. We appreciate thanks
to our team, thanks to Mark, thanks to Brandon, thanks
to Ilo. We've got the Colleague of the Month. Photo
has been updated. Bucky brook standing tall and large. I

(02:35:13):
can't even see the other faces are so small, I
can't even make them. Yeah, we do have that. We
do have that. I mean, my eyes are so bad,
I can't even I can't even make out what's going
on there. We have that work. But there there you go.
Good job by you. We appreciate you coming in. It's
been a minute. I know you've been on the road
a lot. It has been a minute. Like we we were.
I was traveling along with the Jaguar, so I was

(02:35:35):
having to do it from various locations, sometimes the hotel rooms,
sometimes satellite studios. But now I'm back the comfy confines
of the l A studio, so it worked out. It
is good to see you and find fine shapes. So
you obviously still kept not the road to school. We
just starvation would be what do they call it. I

(02:35:55):
think it's hidden under intermittent fasting, but starvation would be
the way to uh yeah, the intermittent fasting is it's
just another way of just look at look, but don't
touch three. You just have to rebrand. It's really what
it is. We'll be watching for all the commercials a
little bit later on obviously the halftime show. Rihanna first

(02:36:16):
live performance in seven years. Yeah, it must be nice
to be able to take a similar have a kid
just say I'm out some music here and there and
come on. Now, you know what song I wanted to
start with. I mean, it's Sunday Morning, so I can't
say the whole title, but the blank better have my money.

(02:36:39):
Like if that were able to to lead the frame, yeah,
I mean that would be the best for me. I
I was on a radio spot the other day and
they asked me what what she should start with? I go,
what was that song? That was it? Uh? On Las
Vegas all those years ago when she was an up
and coming artist, they say, let's get her some run
by putting her on this hit good show. I think
what was that replay? Yeah? Yeah, so I think I

(02:37:01):
think we could do that. Um, you know you gotta
have umbrella and and maybe Greg Dooley, my guy from
the Afghan Wigs, will come out because he does a
mean rendition of that. Either way, it's gonna be a
fun festive day as we celebrate all things football. Uh
and now down to brass tacks as it were, Bucky
trying to parge through all of the noise. All the
great stories. Yes, I love the Kelsey Brothers, I love

(02:37:22):
Andy Reid, I love all of these little stories that
go through. People still making fun of the Cincinnati mayor,
the thirst trap Tom Brady stuff, Kelly Clarkson getting after
it with the parody song at the NFL Honors. Pretty funny. Yeah,
that was funny. Tom Brady's thirst trap. That was different.
I mean that's marketing and branding. Baby. I also felt

(02:37:46):
pretty sad. I mean, I ain't that I ain't that
much older than m I don't know, I don't know
if I feel I don't know if I feel sad
for when I was like, well, Tom Brady putting it
out to your time. Brady Brady is a fristy retired
Tom Brady has more hours in the day's having to
go to facility all the time. Tom Brady. Tom Brady
might need a playmate. Look like TV twelve has done
him right. For Brady was pretty good. He had a

(02:38:08):
scene that was pretty good. Might have taking an acting
class or two to get that one done. Yeah, taking
a full year off to get ready for his role
here Fox, make sure he's ready for it. Whatever else
life calls him. Make sure he's prep to take a
full year off to get done. Which is great because
Greg Olsen has done a fact, Greg Olson and Kevin Broker,
they've been I mean, did an outstanding job. I always

(02:38:30):
love Greg Olson. I had some great conversations after he'd
been dealt away from Chicago, you know, and uh he
he got candid with me off off Mike a little
bit about how all that ended. And I'll love him
forever for that. No, I mean, I like it. I
like the fact that Olson has done it, and selfishly
because he's a non quarterback, I like the fact that

(02:38:51):
he was given a role to give a different perspective.
So even though um we tend to think that the
game should always be viewed from the quarterback size, it's
been great to have a different perspective because the tight
end is a hybrid. He's a mix of offensive line
and wide receiver. So a good tight end gives you
the running game perspective with the passing game, He's been

(02:39:13):
very insightful. But for this game in particular, it's huge.
We talked about got It a little bit. Obviously, Kelsey
is a man among men. We'll see Rob Gronkowski comparisons
and commercials or whatever else. But for Olsen to be
in the booth, I mean it really is huge because
both of those tight ends are gonna have a big
say as to whether their team wins the game today.
Absolutely huge. Say you're saying it should be it should

(02:39:35):
be great. Everyone knows what Travis Kelsey does. So for
me my eyes, I'm looking to see how does any
re create opportunities for him? What does he do if
the Eagles elect a double team like everyone is going
to employ them to do, how does he get loose?
And then for Dallas Guarden, he is the X factor.
Take away a J. Brown DeVante Smith on the outside
with two deep coverage, you gotta deal with the running game.

(02:39:57):
That leaves Dallas got It work in the middle of
the field where he could have a big game. Goes
to that same thing. The quarterbacks still getting credit for
all the yardage, so I can't really justify my eighty
five to one bet. But man, I love the tight
end position, love seeing it getting the shine prediction for
the fight. I mean, so, look, I'm going to Kansas
City the entire time, So I'm gonna go with Kansas

(02:40:18):
City here. I've said a field goal at the buzzer
just because there's something about Pat Mahomes that I just
don't want to bet against. There you go, I've got
them twenty three that don't give me a nice return.
The guys on Countdown to kick Off will no doubt
tell you all about it next here on Fox
