buying should be. I mean, listen to the Triangle Slash
cow Bill in the background. They come on, Yeah no, no, yeah,
it's at a fever. The only prescription is more calbo.
I mean, I really I can't get over the fact
that Jail and Hurts just dropped the football. I keep
(01:07):
trying to jam it in wherever I can't because I don't.
I think it's nobody's bothered with it because there weren't
many replays like that. Miles Sanders fumble and Scoop score apart.
Two still bothers me, like in terms of how we're
adjudicating the catch no catch football move part of things.
That didn't bother much because he you know, he caught
the ball and he and he took up to take
(01:28):
a step and the ball got knocked out like kind
of as he was taking his first step with the ball,
So that one didn't bother me. He's not I don't know,
he hasn't he didn't come down. I mean, he didn't
kind of hop he's catching it and he comes down
at the same time and it's planted and it's hit.
I don't know that that was enough. That's kind of
(01:49):
that I was. I was more. I was okay with
that one. Uh you know, obviously the penalty at the end.
I wasn't, but that one I was actually affected. You
did you have that have to go get a late
night big mac or something to take the pain away.
I don't. I don't need things to affect me to
go get a big backup. So after all the food
we consumed and said gather no no, the trivia and
(02:13):
and everything that we did. Oh yeah, yeah, be confusing
the hell out of Elliot Harris. Yeah, where dude, I'm
telling one of the most fun things. Did Michael, I'm
telling you where it was? It got lost to the mail.
I'm sorry, Fabiano send it to you. Probably maybe I did.
Maybe I did. Maybe to a federal crime. There's no,
(02:34):
there's not the first time he's done that. So Fabiano
has a Super Bowl party. You and I go Elliot
Harrison from NFL network of friends there and I knew
it was going to get to this the end of night,
and I said, you just watch at the game ends,
we're just gonna start throwing trivia question of NFL from
the eighties and nineties at each other and it's gonna
be insane. And it's like, I can't tell you how
(02:55):
much fun it is when I go, okay, Elliott, the catch, Yeah, okay,
after the catch, Cowboys had a chance to win the game,
but Drew Pearson got dragged down from behind. Yes, yes, yes,
who dragged him down from behind? Eric Wright? Yes, go
your turn, I mean, and that's that was that was
what our night was. And then we actually involved. Dude,
I can't tell you how much fun just to come
(03:15):
up with stuff from the eighties and nights and sugar
and carbs, a lot of jersey numbers. What number was
Bill Frelick sevens? I just like screwing him because I wouldn't.
I'd be kind of quiet and let you guys go
back and forth. And then I chime in and kind
of looked like, why does he know that? It's some
of the stuff that we come up with in questions
for each other. Is how we actually did watch some
(03:39):
old clips of Jets games. We watched Elliott Harrison, he goes,
I got a treat for you. We put on the
YouTube Jets Redskins game, which was the first game back
after the strike of eighty seven, and we're watching the
first quarter of the Jets and the red Skins. It
was awesome. It was so good. The Jets stunk so bad.
(03:59):
It's great. It was awesome. It was yes, trust me,
it was fun as you like. See. The thing is
you don't like football. If you like football, that's the
party for The only thing I think it would have
been better is if we were all drunk, but we
we didn't really drink. There's a lot of food because
there was a lot of food that's what I mean.
There was a cake every quarter. Yeah, we had ye,
we did have a quarter. Every game has begun. Where's
the next game? Where's my third quarter? Kick? One of
(04:20):
the people there, they were celebrating the kid's birthday and
it was the most chocolate. The super Bowl part, you
gotta stop talking at frostbring uh. Look. The thing that
we spent a lot of time on today and you've
(04:41):
heard a lot, is the credit of Patrick Mahomes winning
another Super Bowl. What he's done his first five years
in the league, particularly playing on one leg and I
behind his back. What he was able, what he's been
able to accomplish, is phenomenal. He's on a top of
Brady like path. But all the credits getting for winning
the game yesterday, you know what, No, he's not the
(05:03):
guy responsible. He was a game manager yesterday. That's what
Patrick Mahomes did. Well. Yeah, his limping is a little bit.
The guys that he's a Disneyland today, so hey, but
hold a whole Cogan. He was gay and then it
is crowd started getting fired up and he hunked out
and he defeated the iron sheet. He was He was
(05:30):
a game manager yesterday. He had an awful first half
and the game manager second half didn't even throw for
two yards. Strategy. But that's the reason we're we're crediting
the wrong people for this victory. This wasn't oh my god,
Patrick Mahomes put his team on the back. This was
at halftime. Andy Reid and Eric b. Enemy. These are
the guys that deserve all the credit. And if Eric
(05:52):
the Enemy is ever going to get a head coaching job,
it's after this game, because they were the ones that
put the Eagles on their heels for the second half.
You go back a couple of years when the Chiefs
played the Bucks in the Super Bowl and the Chief's
offense could do nothing against Tampa because their defensive front
was able to get pressure on mahomes sideline side, and
(06:13):
they couldn't do anything in the second half. What did
the Chiefs do? They just kept doing the same thing.
Let Mahomes try to buy time, let him try to
find Tyreek killed deep downfield, and it didn't work. And
there was no creativity. There were no Jets sweeps, there
was no anything to try to get the Chief's offense untracked.
Mahomes didn't throw a touchdown and they lost pretty bad.
They were faced with the same situation halftime of the
(06:35):
game yesterday, just like a couple of years ago. It
was boy, we only had twenty plays in the first half.
We're not looking good. The Chiefs are the Eagles are
dominating us. What do we do and the halftime adjustments
to coaching staff made Sorry Peyton Manning, coaches do make
halftime adjustments. You may not, you may need oranges, but
coaches make halftime adjustments, which is hey, why fortunes turn
in the second half. Mahomes wasn't suddenly great in the
(06:57):
second half. He didn't say, guys, I got you get
on here and we're down the field. Every single time
he threw the ball early, he threw short. They ran
the football. But more importantly, the Chiefs did things the
Eagles could not adjust to. There was a lot of
pre snap motion. You know. Look, if you watch TV today,
you saw some of the the analysts on the different
TV shows say, this play was brilliant. What what they
(07:19):
cooked up? Right? And there's a big through line to that,
and that's Andy Reid and Eric b Enemy what they
came up with. The Eagles had no answer to whether
it was pre snap motion that confused them. Whether it
was plays like jet sweeps. They were in a couple
of plays, passing plays out of three tight end formations
a couple of times. So they did things that the
Eagles suddenly, what do we do? We have no idea
(07:41):
touchdown passes, guys are wide open. It's not like Mahomes
is threatened the needle to Kelsey over the middle and
three guys and what to throw what he put it
where only Travis Kelsey could catch it, and Travis that
wasn't the game. This was a second half where the
Eagles were completely off balance because the Chiefs got creative,
They took chances, they adjusted to what the game gave them,
and that's why they're able to win. This was a
(08:02):
win for the coaching staff. Wasn't a win for Mahomes.
It's not a winterest. This was where why did the
Chiefs win this game? Because of what the Chiefs decided
at halftime offensively read and be enemy saying this is
what's gonna work, this is what's gonna get us back
in the game. This is their super Bowl. Ten plays,
nine plays, three plays off of the Tony uh punt return.
(08:23):
Another situational thing where Sirianni went against what he's normally done, right,
the aggressiveness, much like Brandon Staley, where we've at times wondered,
all right, is are you too deep in your own
territory uh to punt? But we we saw it here
where you know you're deep in your own own territory
at the thirty two. But we've seen them go for it,
(08:46):
especially that Rugby scrumb. You heard the damn Patrick promo
talking about it, and we we actually had the same
conversation at said party of all right, NFL outlaw this
at this some point. But tell me you're not getting
two yards off of that rugby grum if you just
start that. It's like the old cartoons you see where
uh they do football scenes and suddenly they'd be rolling
(09:07):
in like a tank right your offensive line and are
rolling over guys. That's kind of what that formation was doing.
You're telling me you couldn't maybe get two yards there.
So he went away from his normal aggressiveness there, perhaps
sensing uh the shift given the Chief's first two drives
that had gone for nineteen plays and a total of
a hundred fifty yards, the long protracted drives of the
(09:29):
Eagles in half one became that of the Chiefs in
the second act. And we saw Brandon, all the quotes
from Brandon Ayouk and anybody that had gone after the
Eagles d suddenly they look like profits. Like you know,
if we'd had a quarterback cabable of throwing the ball
downfield and now Monday morning quarterbacks, well, you know, and
I thought it was Look, we did it in our
(09:51):
analysis in Vegas at the Wind Blue Wire Studios last
week and all weeks, you know, the two weeks leading
up to it. Is a decided step up in class.
Even if Brock he had played to Patrick Mahomes in
the chief with two weeks off, but to get shredded
as they did, to not make adjustments those two red
zone touchdowns were absurd. Using a play of the Jaguars.
(10:14):
Had Ron gone, Hey, Jaguars had success against the Eagles
with this, let's do it. Oh and once we got
it to work one time, hey, you know what, if
we go right back to it, they're gonna be too
silly to figure out we're running the same formation and
the same play to the other side. So you got
that going for you as well. So a credit to
to those two gentlemen obviously read the enemy the staff.
(10:36):
It means Matt Naggy gets a Super Bowl ring, which
I psychological I can't deal with that. But Andy had heeded.
He was going after, you know, the different parts of
operating the Bears and and taking his shots where he could.
He's trying to set himself up for another run. But Andy, heck,
(10:57):
we gotta give notice to him. Right your offensive line
code and say what you will about the turf and
the millions of dollars spent the paint that nobody could
get the proper grip. Uh. And we saw guys slipping
all game long and throwing our hands up exasperated, going
we're being cheated here. Uh. It helped both sides in
terms of pass rush not getting home. You didn't hear
(11:19):
those guys from the front seven really of either squad
being mentioned with any regularity. But then you look at
the offensive line of the Chiefs. We would have ranked
them sixth of all the units, right and go or
I guess uh, they would have been fourth. The special
teams of Bowl teams would have been behind them. But
we would go on offense, offense, defense, And then here
(11:42):
your offensive line for the chiefs was gonna be pretty
far down the list of units you were given creditude,
yet they had a clean sheet. Yeah, I mean, look,
this is what they're super Bowls where hey, the players
just do it. They're super Bowls where at halftime, Hey,
everything we're doing is at risk and you come up
with something that wins the game. Read and and the enemy,
(12:04):
And I mean this should be if the enemy is
gonna get a coach, gonna get a head coaching gig,
this is it. Hey, look we did at halftime of
the Super Bowl. Hey, this has gotta be. If he's
gonna get it, this is gonna be the time. But
you know, whenever you have fifteen interviews and you're not
getting the job, it's like any other walk of life.
At some point, it's like, figure out the consultant. What
am I missing here? Patrick Mahomes, game manager said, I
(12:31):
mean we're hot. Take. Yeah, that just makes me upset
when you bring that, just makes me upset, that's all. Yeah.
But I mean this was the Super Bowl. This was
a bigger stage super Bowl of butt fumbles. That's right,

My bas friend Mike Harmon get it on live from
(14:18):
the tire Act dot Com studios. So Mike and I
on opposite sides of the holding call on James Bradberry
that helped decide the Super Bowl, and yes, plenty of
super Bowl talk plus what is now next? We're getting
into quarterback season, Aaron Rodgers is going dark? Lamar Jackson, Hey,
maybe the Ravens are saying we could listen to trade
(14:39):
offers for um joining us now on the hotline, No
one better, longtime NFL Insider for Odyssey The Washington Post.
You can check them out on Twitter at Jason lock
and four. That's at Jason lock and four. It is
Jason Locking for What's Happening? Jay? What's going on, gentlemen? Well,
what's going on, gentlemen, is we just had a twelve
minute discussion of out the flag on James Bradberry throne.
(15:03):
Where are you on it? Four hours gone by? The
dust is settled? Where are you on this? Well? I
mean looked they were calling that game a certain way
through the entire game, including a play earlier in the
game when even more officials had a direct view on it,
where you know, Bradberry made some contact with Juju Smith
(15:24):
Schuster and there was no call. So I can appreciate
him saying, yeah, I tugged on him, but he had
tugged on a few guys earlier, and there had been
a lot of tugging going on, and it didn't seem
to matter much up until it did. And furthermore, like
(15:45):
Tyreek Hill wasn't getting to that ball let alone, Juju
Smith Schuster, I mean that ball it was kind of
thrown it away to me, I mean, and and as
accurate he was seven or whatever. That thing went out
of the back of the end zone, so it wasn't
gonna be catchable anyway. So yeah, it seems like one
(16:07):
of these things is not like the other. Didn't decide
the game. No, was it a huge factor in the game. Absolutely,
and and it you know, eliminated any chance for the
Eagles to have a meaningful drive to attempt to tie
the game. And that that was not a past that
(16:27):
was thrown to be caught. That was a past that
was thrown to see if we get some kind of call,
and they did. And again I'm not saying it's the
worst call in the history of the world, but in
light of how that game was called and the magnitude
of that game and what the what tone the officials
(16:48):
had set for the previous you know, fifty nine minutes, Oh,
it's not I'd say it was sub optimal. And honestly,
what I think is even more shameful on the league
for us to be talking about, even above and beyond
the officials, which pretty much suck all the time, how
(17:12):
is that game planned on the surface where nobody like
what I saw tweets the day of the game from
the league crowing and boasting about how much money they
spent on you know, this grass, and and how they
kept it. They knew when to keep it underground and
when to put it out in the desert heat. And
we've got it on palettes and we spent I don't
(17:33):
know millions of dollars to have this, and they're bragging
about it, and meanwhile it becomes a total s show
and people are changing their cleats multiple times, and they're
trying to run plays where you don't have to stand
on the colored part of the grass because the colored
part of the grass is garbage. I mean, this is
a twenty billion dollar a year industry, and we don't
(17:54):
know how to snap, like, we don't know how to
spot balls. We don't know what's really a first down
and what's not. We're using chains and eyeball test, we're
playing those surfaces that are garbage. We have part time
officials adjudicating this, and we're all supposed to just be like, yeah,
this is totally normal, like this makes all the sense
in the world, Like yeah, sure of course, why not. Well,
(18:17):
the Cheffer's crew led crew only nine penalties called, so
I mean we hit the under on that A lot
of overs come through because nobody being able to get
any footing. Jason gave us a lot of points. So
the fiaway the Eagles pass rush. Yeah. I mean, I
don't think people knew they were playing on ice, but
(18:38):
they found out eventually. For all the sports, you think
about this, like when you watch the World Cup and
they go, oh, we're gonna change the ball. Well wait
a minute, why you change? Why you change about the
players don't like the ball. We're gonna change the ball
in the NBA? Why are you doing that? The players
don't like it. It's too slippery. It's like we have
to do something. It's like one of those we have
to do something because we feel like we're not doing anything.
So here's a surface that nobody can stand on. Everybody's
(19:00):
slipping and falling, and we're changing cleats and look here,
Mahomes is going to these cleats, and how Hurts is
going to the Jordan cleats and well they saw it
Hurts between the first and second quarter, right went to
the three quarter and whatever else? Like did they not
test the paint? I feel like they like the grass,
but no paint tests. Jay, It's like, why do we
why do we have this boy, this surface is so
slippery and such an important game. I feel like that's
(19:21):
something that happens way too often now. It's crazy. No,
I mean, make it all makes sense, you know what
I mean? Like I I really so much of what
this league does is backwards and baffling. But you know what,
when you have a monopoly, you get away with this stuff.
Like I mean, I don't even know who's the next
closest league to them, is it MLB is at the
(19:43):
n b A. I mean we don't even know, right,
Like they're so far like they they have this country
and really this continent so on lockdown, like it's it's
almost like, well we can you know, we we can
do what we want and it does don't really matter,
and we can make stuff up as we go along,
(20:03):
and we we can do all these ridiculous, you know,
sort of um shenanigans, and everybody's just gonna it's almost
like they don't mind being the heel, you know. And
then here because we're here, where we're sitting here talking
about all their bologny, right, all the stuff they bleeped up,
but we're still talking about them. And I just almost
feel like they're at the point where it's like, as
(20:25):
long as they're talking about us, as long as we're
dominating the sporting landscape, even on a day when nothing's
actually happening in our league and all these other things
are happening. I mean, I don't know, like maybe they're
cool with that, Like maybe that's what they want to be.
I don't know, but it is like mind boggling, mind
boggling the way these games are officiated, The way even again,
(20:50):
just balls are spotted, first downs are called, you know,
guys throwing little blue bags like, oh, spotted here, spotted there,
the eyeball test from part time officials. I mean whatever,
well we still walk away with another clear case of
what's a catch not a catch? What's completing the process?
What's uh, why is it different on the hash versus
(21:11):
the sideline, et cetera. Like all of that is just
uh the next subplot to how we go into twenty three? Yeah,
it's it's just like it never really ends, right, I
mean it there's sort of always there's always a subplot,
(21:34):
you know, That's why they're in seasons. There always is, yeah,
I mean they're there there, there always is. Well, look
as you told us last week, you know, Super Bowl,
that it goes into the off season, the quarterback carousel
and all this, and now the day after it's okay,
the super Bowl and the champagne is drying and it's
Haaron Rodgers is going total darkness, and Lamar Jackson the
(21:55):
Raven said they would entertain trade offers for him over
the weekend. Hey, suddenly I'm feeling great about the Jets
getting a quarterback Jason, even even if it's if it's
not Aaron Rodgers, I'm feeling pretty good about him. Well yeah,
I mean, you know, one of these years, you guys,
will you have a quarterback who is better than the
(22:18):
one best quarterback in the league. Like that will eventually happen.
So where where's Roger's gonna end up? I mean there's
money Vegas. I have always thought it's Vegas. I think
it will be Vegas. Now we've seen the outward campaigning, right,
We've seen Davante Adams and even Josh Jacobs, who has
one ft out the door, except he doesn't because they're
gonna franchise tag him. You know, he's now reaching out
(22:41):
and saying I think that you know, that would make
me more inclined to want to be here. It's it's
a fast track, right, it's a dome. Um, It's a
city that I think he can be okay with. He
can live up in the mountains, right he. I mean,
I think it's kind of Nevada's up his alley. It's
(23:04):
similar to Wisconsin in a lot of ways. It's not
a huge media market, you know what I mean, it's
not you can kind of disappear. Um, you don't have
to worry about you know, Page six running around with
you or TMZ running behind you and looking through your
garbage to see what's going through your body and what hasn't.
(23:24):
And they've got all the pieces offensively, you know, the
offensive line could use a little help. Sure, but you
start looking at you look at the underneath guy. He's
got the Randall cob in renfro Right, he's got a
better tight end that he's probably ever played with. Me
think a Tanyan and guys like that. But that's no
Darren Waller. He's back with his guy, Davante Adams. He's
(23:46):
got the dude who led the league in rushing. I mean,
I you know, like, yeah, the defense has got to
get a little better. But at this stage, it's kind
of about like him, you know what I mean, Like
it's about him kind of flexing his muscles and you know,
him being able to pad his stats. And if they
(24:07):
lose because they can't get any stops, I mean, so
be it. But I did my job, you know, I
back up my football cards straight, so I always drafted
him in fantasy. They're gonna score twenty eight anyway. I
just hope they lose. Being a Bears fan, of course
in Chicago, that was always the deal. Now Smith's about
to cry because of what you just laid down there.
(24:27):
So what's he getting? Is he getting Tannehill or Jackson?
Because that's how finally, hey, they're thinking about they're thinking
about it. I mean, look, I think the Ravens would
rather trade into the NFC. You know, I don't think
their GM has the stomach actually have to face Lamar Jackson.
I have Lamar Jackson keep them out of the playoffs,
or have Lamar Jackson knocked him out of the playoffs.
(24:49):
But I mean, if Woody Johnson is is slinging it,
you know, and he's letting it all hang out, and
this is a trade that's again gonna be done by
owners It's not going to be done by um the gms.
Like you're talking about the amount of money it's gonna cost,
and like it it's gonna it's gonna be an ownership deal,
whether it's Blank or whether it's Temper or whether it's Woody. Uh. Yeah,
(25:11):
I mean they should. They should be hoping for Lamar Jackson.
They should be wishing for Lamar Jackson. Um. You know,
outside of that, you know, I don't know, Tannehill um Brissette.
I kind of think Garoppolos headed into Miami, but it
could be, you know, it could be something like Garoppolo there.
(25:36):
It's not a rich and robust market, you know, for
for quarterbacks. It's it's just not um you know what
kind of makes sense. It took you a while to
get that would be it would be rich on a
lot of levels. But Gino is not leaving Seattle. I
(25:56):
would be shocked if Gino left Seattle. Uh. But honestly,
I think it's I think more I think it's Derek Carr.
I do. I mean, if Derek Carr absolutely was sold
on being in New Orleans, Satan thought that was the
best thing in the world for him. That he would,
you know, waive the no trade and that that would
have already happened. So I think it's gonna be money
(26:19):
will talk, and and opportunity will talk. And who can
throw the most at him, who can make him feel
the most wanted, Who who can you know, sell him
the most? And it wouldn't shock me if if ultimately
that's the Jets, it wouldn't shock me at all. Just
think about him adopting a New York accent for his
press conferences now would be awesome. That sign me up.
(26:43):
He's on Twitter at Jason locking for That is at
Jason locking Ford. Check out his latest on the Washington
Post Odyssey as well. Jay has always by appreciated. Man.
We'll talk to you next week. Always my pleasure, gentlemen,
thank you. If you asked me to choose between car
and Tannehill, I want Derek. What about door number three?
But who's that Baker? Stop Baker Mayfield, Zack Wilson eligible
(27:11):
bachelor door number three? Stop stop stops. There might be
even a door number. I'm not gonna I'm not I'm
not gonna get excited like White unless it's Aaron Rodgers
or Lamar Jackson that's not happening. I'm not gonna get
really excited, but I'm gonna have to force myself to
get excited because I just think it's not Zach Wilson.
Here's somebody else, someone else, someone else, someone else. You
(27:35):
get to kick the can down the road because well,
pictures and catchers are getting ready to report. As my
dad tells me every five seconds, it was a Super
Bowl over pictures and catchers coming. Yeah, all right, yeah, okay,
coming coming. So it's way a little bit another another day.
Your dad still talks to you. Aaron Judge isn't hitting
sixty plus now they moved the right field fence and
(27:57):
again Mike, Okay, he's gonna hit seventy this year. That's
how it's gonna go. Uh. In the script, I I
you know now I have a feeling that, you know,
just going through it. Rogers starting his darkness now you
know that's what happened, you know, Yeah tomorrow he didn't
start it yet, no, but starts tomorrow. We have to
do this show a little while in the darkness tomorrow.
I don't think it starts and see if yeah it is,
he says he's coming, He's going on McAfee's show tomorrow,
(28:20):
so it doesn't start. Do they see you in the show.
But what if he goes on the show and he's
he's in the dark and it's just you just get
a dark screen, but you get service. How's he doing
zoom in the darkness? Uh? Don't even know how to dial.
I gotta think Aaron Rodgers has enough money to figure
that out. I think, how can I do this in
the dark on a zoom? Okay, you're giving him way
(28:43):
too much now, and I think he can do it.
I think you're figuring on ayahuas you're gonna say, in fact,
in fact, I'm gonna call it right now. He will
do the interview and it will just be a black
screen and Aaron Rodger's voice. That's all it's gonna be.
But that's gonna I'm calling. It's how it's gonna go.
And if you if the McAfee show didn't have that
idea until now, you're welcome, just you know, by us
(29:03):
all sandwiches. But what if it's really Derek Carr signed
in Messing with the Raiders saying I'm going to the Raiders.
Let me Derek Carr. Well, I gotta tell you. I'm
going to wait. This isn't No, this isn't Eric Ryce.
Is you Derek Carr? What makes you think it's me?
It's not, it's not. I'm born in Friends No, I
don't know what not me born in Freds No, Derek's
(29:25):
born in Freends Noo. I'm from somewhere else. This is
Austin Butler. How are you doing? Go go go go
rent Elvis, Go watch it on on Netflix. No, that's you,
I know, I know it. Go get Aaron Rodgers out.

Rihanna's halftime show was just okay. It was It was
(33:08):
uninspired and I don't get why people are saying it's
so great. See I go to the It's it's like
movies that I have gone to see. Not all great.
The old congratulations on a job done, so I congratulator
for the business acumen. No new tour, no new album,
(33:28):
baby announcement. By the way, I'm having a baby, so
I can't go anywhere. I can't do anything but going
download my old catalog. And I respect the cat for
a second. You say you're having a baby out there
for a second you were telling us. I was like, wow,
I get you using the Rihanna at the super Bowl
halftime to use it you're having a baby. We were
(33:48):
just in Vegas. Escalated quickly. I mean, I do have
one or two stories. I don't know that they're safe
for air. Um. Look, I think of that. I get
that she was that she's pregnant, but this whole thing,
it seemed to me this is just a way of
her to remind everybody because she hasn't done any new
(34:10):
music in seven years. For the one song, I'm still
around and I'm gonna, you know, give a nod to
my U cosmetic collection and I'm gonna let everybody know
I'm pregnant like that. That's why she did it. That's
why I'm doing the super Bowl halftime show. Because it
wasn't a great show. There wasn't a lot of bells
(34:31):
and whistles. I mean, obviously, when you're pregnant, you can't
move around a lot, and I understand that, but at
the same time, you watch super Bowl shows where people
put everything they have into that. You know, at last
year's hip hop show was amazing. It was I mean,
people are gonna talk about that forever. It was so
much care stuff put together. And this was Rihanna's on
a stage and she gets low, you know, floated up
(34:52):
and look I would never get on that flip forget
about that, you know, me and heights. But then she
would come back down. She walked through her dancers, and
that was it. She a montage of her hits, and
there were there was no special juice to it. There
were no special guests, there was no there was nothing
to change the tone of what it was. It was
just kind of there. Well, I mean, after you start
with better had by money, it all goes downhill from there.
(35:14):
And didn't well, no, she's got she got other big hits. No, no, no,
I'm just saying that. That was the anticipated all right,
you're gonna do this, gonna do this. It was a
long shot eleven to one or eighteen to one, depending
on where your book was. But you're looking at all
the hits, so it reminds you of all the hits.
So what do you do that? Chez he was in
and he was there and he wasn't on stated show,
(35:37):
and Rich Paul yeah, well and del shushing everybody len
Rihanna song that's coming on. Uh look I get that.
You know, Hey, I'm pregnant. I can't do a lot
of movie. If I do the show with somebody, someone's
gonna outshine me. But overall, I could have done a
copy of Outshine. She just outshined outside. It was just
kind of there. It was forgettable. It's like a Marvel movie.
(35:59):
I Outshine, Like, um, you get excited to go see
a Marvel movie and it turns out to be forgettable,
like Love and Funder or Doctor that Multiverse of Madness
or something like that, because there's no moments you're gonna
remember that were so unbelievab except you know, Okay, she
was pregnant, and clearly that was the big thing to do.
(36:21):
It was her announcement because after people talked about it
on Twitter forever, then in the middle of the third quarter, yes,
Rihanna is pregnant, she'd have another baby. Rihanna being pregnant
or YouTube doing a residency in Las Vegas, which was
in one of the ads, which the ad is really
ill time because there are a bunch of floating balloons
and stuff. Yeah, yeah, you don't want to put you
(36:41):
don't want to put floating balloons out there right now,
it's not gonna and then it ended with the hey
octoon baby in the sphere, You two, I think you
two doing it? Rihanna having a baby, Okay she already
had one. Uh, you two doing a residency in Vegas.
I didn't quite see that coming. I might see it.
It's that and Billy Joel the only big artist that
(37:01):
I haven't seen that. I kind of want to what
if Dolan bands you from the sphere? Oh? What if?
What if you can? What if you have to go
see Dolan performed first before you go see Aktung Baby
my money. You can't see you two until you watch
Dolan in concert? Take my money? Why did the Edge
just smash his guitar? Eight watching is a real It's
an eight hour concert of Jim Dolan doing one long
(37:24):
song and then you get to go see you two. Nope,

cow Bill in the background. They come on, Yeah no, no, yeah,
it's at a fever. The only prescription is more calbo.
I mean, I really I can't get over the fact
that Jail and Hurts just dropped the football. I keep
(01:07):
trying to jam it in wherever I can't because I don't.
I think it's nobody's bothered with it because there weren't
many replays like that. Miles Sanders fumble and Scoop score apart.
Two still bothers me, like in terms of how we're
adjudicating the catch no catch football move part of things.
That didn't bother much because he you know, he caught
the ball and he and he took up to take
(01:28):
a step and the ball got knocked out like kind
of as he was taking his first step with the ball,
So that one didn't bother me. He's not I don't know,
he hasn't he didn't come down. I mean, he didn't
kind of hop he's catching it and he comes down
at the same time and it's planted and it's hit.
I don't know that that was enough. That's kind of
(01:49):
that I was. I was more. I was okay with
that one. Uh you know, obviously the penalty at the end.
I wasn't, but that one I was actually affected. You
did you have that have to go get a late
night big mac or something to take the pain away.
I don't. I don't need things to affect me to
go get a big backup. So after all the food
we consumed and said gather no no, the trivia and
(02:13):
and everything that we did. Oh yeah, yeah, be confusing
the hell out of Elliot Harris. Yeah, where dude, I'm
telling one of the most fun things. Did Michael, I'm
telling you where it was? It got lost to the mail.
I'm sorry, Fabiano send it to you. Probably maybe I did.
Maybe I did. Maybe to a federal crime. There's no,
(02:34):
there's not the first time he's done that. So Fabiano
has a Super Bowl party. You and I go Elliot
Harrison from NFL network of friends there and I knew
it was going to get to this the end of night,
and I said, you just watch at the game ends,
we're just gonna start throwing trivia question of NFL from
the eighties and nineties at each other and it's gonna
be insane. And it's like, I can't tell you how
(02:55):
much fun it is when I go, okay, Elliott, the catch, Yeah, okay,
after the catch, Cowboys had a chance to win the game,
but Drew Pearson got dragged down from behind. Yes, yes, yes,
who dragged him down from behind? Eric Wright? Yes, go
your turn, I mean, and that's that was that was
what our night was. And then we actually involved. Dude,
I can't tell you how much fun just to come
(03:15):
up with stuff from the eighties and nights and sugar
and carbs, a lot of jersey numbers. What number was
Bill Frelick sevens? I just like screwing him because I wouldn't.
I'd be kind of quiet and let you guys go
back and forth. And then I chime in and kind
of looked like, why does he know that? It's some
of the stuff that we come up with in questions
for each other. Is how we actually did watch some
(03:39):
old clips of Jets games. We watched Elliott Harrison, he goes,
I got a treat for you. We put on the
YouTube Jets Redskins game, which was the first game back
after the strike of eighty seven, and we're watching the
first quarter of the Jets and the red Skins. It
was awesome. It was so good. The Jets stunk so bad.
(03:59):
It's great. It was awesome. It was yes, trust me,
it was fun as you like. See. The thing is
you don't like football. If you like football, that's the
party for The only thing I think it would have
been better is if we were all drunk, but we
we didn't really drink. There's a lot of food because
there was a lot of food that's what I mean.
There was a cake every quarter. Yeah, we had ye,
we did have a quarter. Every game has begun. Where's
the next game? Where's my third quarter? Kick? One of
(04:20):
the people there, they were celebrating the kid's birthday and
it was the most chocolate. The super Bowl part, you
gotta stop talking at frostbring uh. Look. The thing that
we spent a lot of time on today and you've
(04:41):
heard a lot, is the credit of Patrick Mahomes winning
another Super Bowl. What he's done his first five years
in the league, particularly playing on one leg and I
behind his back. What he was able, what he's been
able to accomplish, is phenomenal. He's on a top of
Brady like path. But all the credits getting for winning
the game yesterday, you know what, No, he's not the
(05:03):
guy responsible. He was a game manager yesterday. That's what
Patrick Mahomes did. Well. Yeah, his limping is a little bit.
The guys that he's a Disneyland today, so hey, but
hold a whole Cogan. He was gay and then it
is crowd started getting fired up and he hunked out
and he defeated the iron sheet. He was He was
(05:30):
a game manager yesterday. He had an awful first half
and the game manager second half didn't even throw for
two yards. Strategy. But that's the reason we're we're crediting
the wrong people for this victory. This wasn't oh my god,
Patrick Mahomes put his team on the back. This was
at halftime. Andy Reid and Eric b. Enemy. These are
the guys that deserve all the credit. And if Eric
(05:52):
the Enemy is ever going to get a head coaching job,
it's after this game, because they were the ones that
put the Eagles on their heels for the second half.
You go back a couple of years when the Chiefs
played the Bucks in the Super Bowl and the Chief's
offense could do nothing against Tampa because their defensive front
was able to get pressure on mahomes sideline side, and
(06:13):
they couldn't do anything in the second half. What did
the Chiefs do? They just kept doing the same thing.
Let Mahomes try to buy time, let him try to
find Tyreek killed deep downfield, and it didn't work. And
there was no creativity. There were no Jets sweeps, there
was no anything to try to get the Chief's offense untracked.
Mahomes didn't throw a touchdown and they lost pretty bad.
They were faced with the same situation halftime of the
(06:35):
game yesterday, just like a couple of years ago. It
was boy, we only had twenty plays in the first half.
We're not looking good. The Chiefs are the Eagles are
dominating us. What do we do and the halftime adjustments
to coaching staff made Sorry Peyton Manning, coaches do make
halftime adjustments. You may not, you may need oranges, but
coaches make halftime adjustments, which is hey, why fortunes turn
in the second half. Mahomes wasn't suddenly great in the
(06:57):
second half. He didn't say, guys, I got you get
on here and we're down the field. Every single time
he threw the ball early, he threw short. They ran
the football. But more importantly, the Chiefs did things the
Eagles could not adjust to. There was a lot of
pre snap motion. You know. Look, if you watch TV today,
you saw some of the the analysts on the different
TV shows say, this play was brilliant. What what they
(07:19):
cooked up? Right? And there's a big through line to that,
and that's Andy Reid and Eric b Enemy what they
came up with. The Eagles had no answer to whether
it was pre snap motion that confused them. Whether it
was plays like jet sweeps. They were in a couple
of plays, passing plays out of three tight end formations
a couple of times. So they did things that the
Eagles suddenly, what do we do? We have no idea
(07:41):
touchdown passes, guys are wide open. It's not like Mahomes
is threatened the needle to Kelsey over the middle and
three guys and what to throw what he put it
where only Travis Kelsey could catch it, and Travis that
wasn't the game. This was a second half where the
Eagles were completely off balance because the Chiefs got creative,
They took chances, they adjusted to what the game gave them,
and that's why they're able to win. This was a
(08:02):
win for the coaching staff. Wasn't a win for Mahomes.
It's not a winterest. This was where why did the
Chiefs win this game? Because of what the Chiefs decided
at halftime offensively read and be enemy saying this is
what's gonna work, this is what's gonna get us back
in the game. This is their super Bowl. Ten plays,
nine plays, three plays off of the Tony uh punt return.
(08:23):
Another situational thing where Sirianni went against what he's normally done, right,
the aggressiveness, much like Brandon Staley, where we've at times wondered,
all right, is are you too deep in your own
territory uh to punt? But we we saw it here
where you know you're deep in your own own territory
at the thirty two. But we've seen them go for it,
(08:46):
especially that Rugby scrumb. You heard the damn Patrick promo
talking about it, and we we actually had the same
conversation at said party of all right, NFL outlaw this
at this some point. But tell me you're not getting
two yards off of that rugby grum if you just
start that. It's like the old cartoons you see where
uh they do football scenes and suddenly they'd be rolling
(09:07):
in like a tank right your offensive line and are
rolling over guys. That's kind of what that formation was doing.
You're telling me you couldn't maybe get two yards there.
So he went away from his normal aggressiveness there, perhaps
sensing uh the shift given the Chief's first two drives
that had gone for nineteen plays and a total of
a hundred fifty yards, the long protracted drives of the
(09:29):
Eagles in half one became that of the Chiefs in
the second act. And we saw Brandon, all the quotes
from Brandon Ayouk and anybody that had gone after the
Eagles d suddenly they look like profits. Like you know,
if we'd had a quarterback cabable of throwing the ball
downfield and now Monday morning quarterbacks, well, you know, and
I thought it was Look, we did it in our
(09:51):
analysis in Vegas at the Wind Blue Wire Studios last
week and all weeks, you know, the two weeks leading
up to it. Is a decided step up in class.
Even if Brock he had played to Patrick Mahomes in
the chief with two weeks off, but to get shredded
as they did, to not make adjustments those two red
zone touchdowns were absurd. Using a play of the Jaguars.
(10:14):
Had Ron gone, Hey, Jaguars had success against the Eagles
with this, let's do it. Oh and once we got
it to work one time, hey, you know what, if
we go right back to it, they're gonna be too
silly to figure out we're running the same formation and
the same play to the other side. So you got
that going for you as well. So a credit to
to those two gentlemen obviously read the enemy the staff.
(10:36):
It means Matt Naggy gets a Super Bowl ring, which
I psychological I can't deal with that. But Andy had heeded.
He was going after, you know, the different parts of
operating the Bears and and taking his shots where he could.
He's trying to set himself up for another run. But Andy, heck,
(10:57):
we gotta give notice to him. Right your offensive line
code and say what you will about the turf and
the millions of dollars spent the paint that nobody could
get the proper grip. Uh. And we saw guys slipping
all game long and throwing our hands up exasperated, going
we're being cheated here. Uh. It helped both sides in
terms of pass rush not getting home. You didn't hear
(11:19):
those guys from the front seven really of either squad
being mentioned with any regularity. But then you look at
the offensive line of the Chiefs. We would have ranked
them sixth of all the units, right and go or
I guess uh, they would have been fourth. The special
teams of Bowl teams would have been behind them. But
we would go on offense, offense, defense, And then here
(11:42):
your offensive line for the chiefs was gonna be pretty
far down the list of units you were given creditude,
yet they had a clean sheet. Yeah, I mean, look,
this is what they're super Bowls where hey, the players
just do it. They're super Bowls where at halftime, Hey,
everything we're doing is at risk and you come up
with something that wins the game. Read and and the enemy,
(12:04):
And I mean this should be if the enemy is
gonna get a coach, gonna get a head coaching gig,
this is it. Hey, look we did at halftime of
the Super Bowl. Hey, this has gotta be. If he's
gonna get it, this is gonna be the time. But
you know, whenever you have fifteen interviews and you're not
getting the job, it's like any other walk of life.
At some point, it's like, figure out the consultant. What
am I missing here? Patrick Mahomes, game manager said, I
(12:31):
mean we're hot. Take. Yeah, that just makes me upset
when you bring that, just makes me upset, that's all. Yeah.

Jason Locking for What's Happening? Jay? What's going on, gentlemen? Well,
what's going on, gentlemen, is we just had a twelve
minute discussion of out the flag on James Bradberry throne.
(15:03):
Where are you on it? Four hours gone by? The
dust is settled? Where are you on this? Well? I
mean looked they were calling that game a certain way
through the entire game, including a play earlier in the
game when even more officials had a direct view on it,
where you know, Bradberry made some contact with Juju Smith
(15:24):
Schuster and there was no call. So I can appreciate
him saying, yeah, I tugged on him, but he had
tugged on a few guys earlier, and there had been
a lot of tugging going on, and it didn't seem
to matter much up until it did. And furthermore, like
(15:45):
Tyreek Hill wasn't getting to that ball let alone, Juju
Smith Schuster, I mean that ball it was kind of
thrown it away to me, I mean, and and as
accurate he was seven or whatever. That thing went out
of the back of the end zone, so it wasn't
gonna be catchable anyway. So yeah, it seems like one
(16:07):
of these things is not like the other. Didn't decide
the game. No, was it a huge factor in the game. Absolutely,
and and it you know, eliminated any chance for the
Eagles to have a meaningful drive to attempt to tie
the game. And that that was not a past that
(16:27):
was thrown to be caught. That was a past that
was thrown to see if we get some kind of call,
and they did. And again I'm not saying it's the
worst call in the history of the world, but in
light of how that game was called and the magnitude
of that game and what the what tone the officials
(16:48):
had set for the previous you know, fifty nine minutes, Oh,
it's not I'd say it was sub optimal. And honestly,
what I think is even more shameful on the league
for us to be talking about, even above and beyond
the officials, which pretty much suck all the time, how
(17:12):
is that game planned on the surface where nobody like
what I saw tweets the day of the game from
the league crowing and boasting about how much money they
spent on you know, this grass, and and how they
kept it. They knew when to keep it underground and
when to put it out in the desert heat. And
we've got it on palettes and we spent I don't
(17:33):
know millions of dollars to have this, and they're bragging
about it, and meanwhile it becomes a total s show
and people are changing their cleats multiple times, and they're
trying to run plays where you don't have to stand
on the colored part of the grass because the colored
part of the grass is garbage. I mean, this is
a twenty billion dollar a year industry, and we don't
(17:54):
know how to snap, like, we don't know how to
spot balls. We don't know what's really a first down
and what's not. We're using chains and eyeball test, we're
playing those surfaces that are garbage. We have part time
officials adjudicating this, and we're all supposed to just be like, yeah,
this is totally normal, like this makes all the sense
in the world, Like yeah, sure of course, why not. Well,
(18:17):
the Cheffer's crew led crew only nine penalties called, so
I mean we hit the under on that A lot
of overs come through because nobody being able to get
any footing. Jason gave us a lot of points. So
the fiaway the Eagles pass rush. Yeah. I mean, I
don't think people knew they were playing on ice, but
(18:38):
they found out eventually. For all the sports, you think
about this, like when you watch the World Cup and
they go, oh, we're gonna change the ball. Well wait
a minute, why you change? Why you change about the
players don't like the ball. We're gonna change the ball
in the NBA? Why are you doing that? The players
don't like it. It's too slippery. It's like we have
to do something. It's like one of those we have
to do something because we feel like we're not doing anything.
So here's a surface that nobody can stand on. Everybody's
(19:00):
slipping and falling, and we're changing cleats and look here,
Mahomes is going to these cleats, and how Hurts is
going to the Jordan cleats and well they saw it
Hurts between the first and second quarter, right went to
the three quarter and whatever else? Like did they not
test the paint? I feel like they like the grass,
but no paint tests. Jay, It's like, why do we
why do we have this boy, this surface is so
slippery and such an important game. I feel like that's
(19:21):
something that happens way too often now. It's crazy. No,
I mean, make it all makes sense, you know what
I mean? Like I I really so much of what
this league does is backwards and baffling. But you know what,
when you have a monopoly, you get away with this stuff.
Like I mean, I don't even know who's the next
closest league to them, is it MLB is at the
(19:43):
n b A. I mean we don't even know, right,
Like they're so far like they they have this country
and really this continent so on lockdown, like it's it's
almost like, well we can you know, we we can
do what we want and it does don't really matter,
and we can make stuff up as we go along,
(20:03):
and we we can do all these ridiculous, you know,
sort of um shenanigans, and everybody's just gonna it's almost
like they don't mind being the heel, you know. And
then here because we're here, where we're sitting here talking
about all their bologny, right, all the stuff they bleeped up,
but we're still talking about them. And I just almost
feel like they're at the point where it's like, as
(20:25):
long as they're talking about us, as long as we're
dominating the sporting landscape, even on a day when nothing's
actually happening in our league and all these other things
are happening. I mean, I don't know, like maybe they're
cool with that, Like maybe that's what they want to be.
I don't know, but it is like mind boggling, mind
boggling the way these games are officiated, The way even again,
(20:50):
just balls are spotted, first downs are called, you know,
guys throwing little blue bags like, oh, spotted here, spotted there,
the eyeball test from part time officials. I mean whatever,
well we still walk away with another clear case of
what's a catch not a catch? What's completing the process?
What's uh, why is it different on the hash versus
(21:11):
the sideline, et cetera. Like all of that is just
uh the next subplot to how we go into twenty three? Yeah,
it's it's just like it never really ends, right, I
mean it there's sort of always there's always a subplot,
(21:34):
you know, That's why they're in seasons. There always is, yeah,
I mean they're there there, there always is. Well, look
as you told us last week, you know, Super Bowl,
that it goes into the off season, the quarterback carousel
and all this, and now the day after it's okay,
the super Bowl and the champagne is drying and it's
Haaron Rodgers is going total darkness, and Lamar Jackson the
(21:55):
Raven said they would entertain trade offers for him over
the weekend. Hey, suddenly I'm feeling great about the Jets
getting a quarterback Jason, even even if it's if it's
not Aaron Rodgers, I'm feeling pretty good about him. Well yeah,
I mean, you know, one of these years, you guys,
will you have a quarterback who is better than the
(22:18):
one best quarterback in the league. Like that will eventually happen.
So where where's Roger's gonna end up? I mean there's
money Vegas. I have always thought it's Vegas. I think
it will be Vegas. Now we've seen the outward campaigning, right,
We've seen Davante Adams and even Josh Jacobs, who has
one ft out the door, except he doesn't because they're
gonna franchise tag him. You know, he's now reaching out
(22:41):
and saying I think that you know, that would make
me more inclined to want to be here. It's it's
a fast track, right, it's a dome. Um, It's a
city that I think he can be okay with. He
can live up in the mountains, right he. I mean,
I think it's kind of Nevada's up his alley. It's
(23:04):
similar to Wisconsin in a lot of ways. It's not
a huge media market, you know what I mean, it's
not you can kind of disappear. Um, you don't have
to worry about you know, Page six running around with
you or TMZ running behind you and looking through your
garbage to see what's going through your body and what hasn't.
(23:24):
And they've got all the pieces offensively, you know, the
offensive line could use a little help. Sure, but you
start looking at you look at the underneath guy. He's
got the Randall cob in renfro Right, he's got a
better tight end that he's probably ever played with. Me
think a Tanyan and guys like that. But that's no
Darren Waller. He's back with his guy, Davante Adams. He's
(23:46):
got the dude who led the league in rushing. I mean,
I you know, like, yeah, the defense has got to
get a little better. But at this stage, it's kind
of about like him, you know what I mean, Like
it's about him kind of flexing his muscles and you know,
him being able to pad his stats. And if they
(24:07):
lose because they can't get any stops, I mean, so
be it. But I did my job, you know, I
back up my football cards straight, so I always drafted
him in fantasy. They're gonna score twenty eight anyway. I
just hope they lose. Being a Bears fan, of course
in Chicago, that was always the deal. Now Smith's about
to cry because of what you just laid down there.
(24:27):
So what's he getting? Is he getting Tannehill or Jackson?
Because that's how finally, hey, they're thinking about they're thinking
about it. I mean, look, I think the Ravens would
rather trade into the NFC. You know, I don't think
their GM has the stomach actually have to face Lamar Jackson.
I have Lamar Jackson keep them out of the playoffs,
or have Lamar Jackson knocked him out of the playoffs.
(24:49):
But I mean, if Woody Johnson is is slinging it,
you know, and he's letting it all hang out, and
this is a trade that's again gonna be done by
owners It's not going to be done by um the gms.
Like you're talking about the amount of money it's gonna cost,
and like it it's gonna it's gonna be an ownership deal,
whether it's Blank or whether it's Temper or whether it's Woody. Uh. Yeah,
(25:11):
I mean they should. They should be hoping for Lamar Jackson.
They should be wishing for Lamar Jackson. Um. You know,
outside of that, you know, I don't know, Tannehill um Brissette.
I kind of think Garoppolos headed into Miami, but it
could be, you know, it could be something like Garoppolo there.
(25:36):
It's not a rich and robust market, you know, for
for quarterbacks. It's it's just not um you know what
kind of makes sense. It took you a while to
get that would be it would be rich on a
lot of levels. But Gino is not leaving Seattle. I
(25:56):
would be shocked if Gino left Seattle. Uh. But honestly,
I think it's I think more I think it's Derek Carr.
I do. I mean, if Derek Carr absolutely was sold
on being in New Orleans, Satan thought that was the
best thing in the world for him. That he would,
you know, waive the no trade and that that would
have already happened. So I think it's gonna be money
(26:19):
will talk, and and opportunity will talk. And who can
throw the most at him, who can make him feel
the most wanted, Who who can you know, sell him
the most? And it wouldn't shock me if if ultimately
that's the Jets, it wouldn't shock me at all. Just
think about him adopting a New York accent for his
press conferences now would be awesome. That sign me up.
(26:43):
He's on Twitter at Jason locking for That is at
Jason locking Ford. Check out his latest on the Washington
Post Odyssey as well. Jay has always by appreciated. Man.
We'll talk to you next week. Always my pleasure, gentlemen,
thank you. If you asked me to choose between car
and Tannehill, I want Derek. What about door number three?
But who's that Baker? Stop Baker Mayfield, Zack Wilson eligible
(27:11):
bachelor door number three? Stop stop stops. There might be
even a door number. I'm not gonna I'm not I'm
not gonna get excited like White unless it's Aaron Rodgers
or Lamar Jackson that's not happening. I'm not gonna get
really excited, but I'm gonna have to force myself to
get excited because I just think it's not Zach Wilson.
Here's somebody else, someone else, someone else, someone else. You
(27:35):
get to kick the can down the road because well,
pictures and catchers are getting ready to report. As my
dad tells me every five seconds, it was a Super
Bowl over pictures and catchers coming. Yeah, all right, yeah, okay,
coming coming. So it's way a little bit another another day.
Your dad still talks to you. Aaron Judge isn't hitting
sixty plus now they moved the right field fence and
(27:57):
again Mike, Okay, he's gonna hit seventy this year. That's
how it's gonna go. Uh. In the script, I I
you know now I have a feeling that, you know,
just going through it. Rogers starting his darkness now you
know that's what happened, you know, Yeah tomorrow he didn't
start it yet, no, but starts tomorrow. We have to
do this show a little while in the darkness tomorrow.
I don't think it starts and see if yeah it is,
he says he's coming, He's going on McAfee's show tomorrow,
(28:20):
so it doesn't start. Do they see you in the show.
But what if he goes on the show and he's
he's in the dark and it's just you just get
a dark screen, but you get service. How's he doing
zoom in the darkness? Uh? Don't even know how to dial.
I gotta think Aaron Rodgers has enough money to figure
that out. I think, how can I do this in
the dark on a zoom? Okay, you're giving him way
(28:43):
too much now, and I think he can do it.
I think you're figuring on ayahuas you're gonna say, in fact,
in fact, I'm gonna call it right now. He will
do the interview and it will just be a black
screen and Aaron Rodger's voice. That's all it's gonna be.
But that's gonna I'm calling. It's how it's gonna go.
And if you if the McAfee show didn't have that
idea until now, you're welcome, just you know, by us
(29:03):
all sandwiches. But what if it's really Derek Carr signed
in Messing with the Raiders saying I'm going to the Raiders.
Let me Derek Carr. Well, I gotta tell you. I'm
going to wait. This isn't No, this isn't Eric Ryce.
Is you Derek Carr? What makes you think it's me?
It's not, it's not. I'm born in Friends No, I
don't know what not me born in Freds No, Derek's
(29:25):
born in Freends Noo. I'm from somewhere else. This is
Austin Butler. How are you doing? Go go go go
rent Elvis, Go watch it on on Netflix. No, that's you,
I know, I know it. Go get Aaron Rodgers out.
Turn the lights on, put the put the video back
on your camera, Joe, everybody, they turn the lights on.

Sam went straight to the highlight, Mike, I got great news.
What's that buddy? His magic is going away. Brunson is
no longer after this game. You saw what happened at
the end of the game, right, Oh? I saw that.
You saw who walked over? He's gonna lose all his

How did Doland not ban her from the garden? Hey, Julius,

(32:46):
other NBA players. Anything I need to be concerned about,
any anything? Anything? Am I cool? Am I good? All right?
CBO says I'm good, Julius says I'm good, We're good,
We're all good. Chaos ensues. You want a hot take
coming off the super Bowl? Hot take it or let's go.
Rihanna's halftime show was just okay. It was It was
(33:08):
uninspired and I don't get why people are saying it's
so great. See I go to the It's it's like
movies that I have gone to see. Not all great.
The old congratulations on a job done, so I congratulator
for the business acumen. No new tour, no new album,
(33:28):
baby announcement. By the way, I'm having a baby, so
I can't go anywhere. I can't do anything but going
download my old catalog. And I respect the cat for
a second. You say you're having a baby out there
for a second you were telling us. I was like, wow,
I get you using the Rihanna at the super Bowl
halftime to use it you're having a baby. We were
(33:48):
just in Vegas. Escalated quickly. I mean, I do have
one or two stories. I don't know that they're safe
for air. Um. Look, I think of that. I get
that she was that she's pregnant, but this whole thing,
it seemed to me this is just a way of
her to remind everybody because she hasn't done any new
(34:10):
music in seven years. For the one song, I'm still
around and I'm gonna, you know, give a nod to
my U cosmetic collection and I'm gonna let everybody know
I'm pregnant like that. That's why she did it. That's
why I'm doing the super Bowl halftime show. Because it
wasn't a great show. There wasn't a lot of bells
(34:31):
and whistles. I mean, obviously, when you're pregnant, you can't
move around a lot, and I understand that, but at
the same time, you watch super Bowl shows where people
put everything they have into that. You know, at last
year's hip hop show was amazing. It was I mean,
people are gonna talk about that forever. It was so
much care stuff put together. And this was Rihanna's on
a stage and she gets low, you know, floated up
(34:52):
and look I would never get on that flip forget
about that, you know, me and heights. But then she
would come back down. She walked through her dancers, and
that was it. She a montage of her hits, and
there were there was no special juice to it. There
were no special guests, there was no there was nothing
to change the tone of what it was. It was
just kind of there. Well, I mean, after you start
with better had by money, it all goes downhill from there.
(35:14):
And didn't well, no, she's got she got other big hits. No, no, no,
I'm just saying that. That was the anticipated all right,
you're gonna do this, gonna do this. It was a
long shot eleven to one or eighteen to one, depending
on where your book was. But you're looking at all
the hits, so it reminds you of all the hits.
So what do you do that? Chez he was in
and he was there and he wasn't on stated show,
(35:37):
and Rich Paul yeah, well and del shushing everybody len
Rihanna song that's coming on. Uh look I get that.
You know, Hey, I'm pregnant. I can't do a lot
of movie. If I do the show with somebody, someone's
gonna outshine me. But overall, I could have done a
copy of Outshine. She just outshined outside. It was just
kind of there. It was forgettable. It's like a Marvel movie.
(35:59):
I Outshine, Like, um, you get excited to go see
a Marvel movie and it turns out to be forgettable,
like Love and Funder or Doctor that Multiverse of Madness
or something like that, because there's no moments you're gonna
remember that were so unbelievab except you know, Okay, she
was pregnant, and clearly that was the big thing to do.
(36:21):
It was her announcement because after people talked about it
on Twitter forever, then in the middle of the third quarter, yes,
Rihanna is pregnant, she'd have another baby. Rihanna being pregnant
or YouTube doing a residency in Las Vegas, which was
in one of the ads, which the ad is really
ill time because there are a bunch of floating balloons
and stuff. Yeah, yeah, you don't want to put you
(36:41):
don't want to put floating balloons out there right now,
it's not gonna and then it ended with the hey
octoon baby in the sphere, You two, I think you
two doing it? Rihanna having a baby, Okay she already
had one. Uh, you two doing a residency in Vegas.
I didn't quite see that coming. I might see it.
It's that and Billy Joel the only big artist that
(37:01):
I haven't seen that. I kind of want to what
if Dolan bands you from the sphere? Oh? What if?
What if you can? What if you have to go
see Dolan performed first before you go see Aktung Baby
my money. You can't see you two until you watch
Dolan in concert? Take my money? Why did the Edge
just smash his guitar? Eight watching is a real It's
an eight hour concert of Jim Dolan doing one long
(37:24):
song and then you get to go see you two. Nope,
Twitter and out Manfresca, Mike gets swollen down the Jason
Smith Show with my best friend Mike Carmen sing it
