That doesn't give up.
All right, y'all get the pointright, so you're welcome.
(03:29):
I had to do it.
I didn't want to send a directtext.
You know, you know me, thelisteners know me.
I love my sports teams.
I hate it when somebody talksshit about your sports team
losing.
I don't like to send it toother people because I don't.
You know I get it.
I mean, I have a tattoo, youknow.
(03:49):
Yeah, and I remember that nightand I remember that text and I
was like one day I'm going tosmile talking about this and you
know what that was today.
And not only was it today, itwas in the first half, when
you're down 24 to nothing andyour team's got 14 yards and
(04:15):
you're comparing kermit thefucking frog to tom brady the
goat.
Get out of here.
We're doing kick rocks early inthe segment.
Let's go.
I mean, come on, bro.
Did we watch a replay of Tampawaxing your ass?
Or did we watch the Eaglestaking Tampa's game plan and
(04:37):
making it the exact same gameplan?
Oh, I'm sorry.
The Eagles pressured Kermit 16times, sacked him six times and
guess what, how many times didthey blitz Graham?
The same amount of time as meand you.
Graham (04:54):
Zero.
Scott (04:55):
And that fat fuck right
tackle jumped before the snap a
thousand times tonight he wasstill getting his ass beat.
It was hilarious, it wasawesome, but anyhow, how?
(05:15):
Was your weekend, oh wow, I hadto get that out there early in
case somebody just listened tothe beginning of the episode and
at least they'd be entertained,because it's going to get
better.
Graham (05:22):
I like it, I like it.
I.
I'll just say this I also likehow you took the upper road,
because you didn't even mentionany names.
So we just are supposed to knowwho this is.
You have no idea who it is, no,but he'll know because he
listens to the show and he's gota outie for a belly button.
All right, cool, as long as theguy knows, then it's all good.
Scott (05:49):
In my book, brother this
was a great weekend.
A lot of people are going to bespitting their drinks out when
they hear that.
Graham (06:02):
Oh man, weekend was good
, week was good.
Got my electric bike a coupleof days ago Super pumped about
that Worked these last coupledays, made some good money.
I'm happy about it.
We'll talk more about it alittle later.
Hit one of my only hit, one ofmy 18 prop bets, but at least it
(06:24):
was a good one.
Played some Super Bowl squaresa couple different boards, hit
two different times, so I'mhappy about that.
Other than that, was kind ofchill today at work so I was
able to watch most of the game.
But I'll be honest, and whatI'm about to say is like I'm not
getting into the game, but I'lljust say this.
Scott (06:45):
Real quick, real quick.
Before you get into the game,kristen just texted me.
Why are you yelling?
Wow, my bad.
Graham (06:58):
Kristen, aren't you
asleep by now?
What are you doing, girl?
Scott (07:00):
She actually watched the
entire game, that's surprising.
Oh, she likes watching theChiefs get beat more than me.
Yeah, right, yeah.
Graham (07:11):
I totally get it.
Yeah, I totally get it.
But yeah, what I was about tosay was for the amount of time
that I actually had to watch thegame.
I'm just like couldn't I havewatched the championship games?
Could I have been at work andjust watched them fully and
(07:31):
enjoyed that?
Instead I had to watch theSuper Bowl.
I mean, look, I'm still tryingto really wrap my head around
the fact of do I consider it agood game?
It was a dominant game, butit's just.
You know what I mean.
It's still fresh in my mind.
(07:52):
I haven't decided on how I feel, not how I feel about it, but
just like, look, kansas City gottheir ass beat is really what
it came down to.
I mean the pressure from thefront four of their D-line,
which is all they needed to getthere, all those pressures that
you mentioned already.
Scott (08:10):
The six sacks, the pick
six, which I didn't see that
coming your boy did, because Ihad a little bet on any time
defensive touchdown score.
Graham (08:21):
Yeah, when you told me
that the other day, I was like
all right, bro, good luck onthat.
Then it happened.
I was just like that's son of abitch.
I was like what?
But I mean, yeah, I mean, look,I had a good time at work.
We had a bunch of differentgames because, like I said, we
had three separate squares andthen, you know, we had a bunch
of the regulars from thecommunity that come to the golf
(08:44):
course.
So it was just chill.
I had fun with the members, Ihad fun with the game.
So, all in all, I mean it was agood time.
I mean it was chill, it wasjust.
It's just weird for me a littlebit because you and I always
chat during the game.
You know what I mean.
So it's just like we only hadthat one little phone call just
(09:05):
right after halftime and justmore to check in and blah, blah,
blah.
But it's just like we reallydidn't talk that much, because
what else is there to say whenit's 24 to nothing?
I mean, the only thing wereally asked you was so you're
taking the Chiefs plus 16 and ahalf in the second half or
what's up, and you're like and Idid, and it was a great loss.
(09:27):
Yeah, right, I mean, hey,sometimes taking an L is a good
thing.
Scott (09:35):
You ain't wrong.
And, like I mentioned, athalftime, you know, somebody in
our San Diego thread was like,hey, you know, somebody in our
San Diego thread was like, hey,is this my home's opportunity to
be Tom Brady when Brady won,losing 28 to three.
The NFL scripting writers arethey at it right now?
(09:57):
And you know, I'm not evengoing to comment on that.
But the beginning of the gamewe saw that offensive pass
interference on fourth down,which, hey, how about that?
We talked about it last night.
Is somebody going to go for it?
On fourth down, firstpossession by the Eagles, they
(10:19):
do.
Aj Brown catches it, penaltycalled.
Now it negates the fourth downplay.
But anyhow, back to yourweekend.
We'll get into all that funstuff.
Graham (10:30):
No, no, it's cool.
Actually, I'm glad you broughtthat up.
Did you think that was a goodcall?
Scott (10:39):
I thought it was
ticky-tack at the beginning of
the game, but as you'relistening to tom brady talk
about it and saying it was awful, they're showing the replay.
Aj brown did hit his face maskand move his head out of the way
yeah and like he was, like hehad his hand like over his
(11:01):
vision.
Graham (11:01):
So I mean, I don't, if
you're, it's opi on the visor
yeah, that's.
I mean, that's what I thought.
I mean, yeah, I I thought itwas.
Scott (11:11):
I just wanted to gauge
your opinion on it like I
thought it was the right call soit was as much as I don't want
to, didn't want to see it.
Yeah, it was yeah but you knowthey got a makeup call on the
eagles next possession on the,you know roughing the passer or
whatever it was, or player orwhatever.
(11:33):
But yeah, I don't know, man, itwas.
You know your weekend you wereworking.
My weekend I worked yesterday.
Uh, miserable weather here,didn't really do a lot for the
super bowl, just had the kids,boyfriend and girlfriend come
over and made a bunch of foodand watched the game and pops
(11:58):
didn't come over no, justbecause the game is so late, you
know, I mean it's 6 30, Imean.30.
I mean, what's he going to do?
Leave at halftime, miss thewhole third quarter?
You know, not cool.
Graham (12:10):
Oh, that's right, he's
about a half hour away.
Scott (12:12):
Yeah, yeah.
So, you know, but it was lowkey, it was a good time.
We're all pulling for theEagles.
What were you going to?
Graham (12:24):
say, you just made me
think of something.
I mean, granted, I was at work,so I wasn't cooking I still
didn't get that damn recipe.
I know Well, that's becausethere was no.
Scott (12:35):
When I knew you were
working there wasn't a lot of
you know, whatever, but it justpopped up in my head.
Graham (12:44):
I was like that son of a
bitch.
Scott (12:46):
But you know, before we
even get into the game, uh, I
pretty much hung out on thecouch all day watching the waste
management and solid event.
Dude homeboy one by seven forhis first ever win, Dude, yeah.
Graham (13:03):
D tree Took it deep Dude
.
Yeah, dietrich, right, is thathis name?
Scott (13:05):
Took it deep, yeah.
But what was more surprising isScheffler shoots, has a birdie
putt on the ninth hole to shootfive under on the front, misses
it, shoots 31 on the front andthen 41 on the back.
What, yeah, he like playedawful on the back, nine Wild
(13:30):
Couldn't even believe what I waswatching.
But, dude, daniel Berger andDietrich Dietrich's got a
two-shot lead going into 16, thecrazy hole and Berger's up
first and hits it over the greenand Dietrich hits it into about
you know eight inches, makesbirdie burger, makes bogey, ends
(13:51):
up winning by seven.
But something that was prettycool as the event was going on,
was this dude that Mondayqualified for the event and is
playing with Scotty Scheffler,the world number one, okay.
This dude named Will Chandlergoes out today, what Monday
(14:16):
qualifies, okay, playing in thesame group as Scotty, shoot 66,
beat Scotty by six Top top 10into the next pga tour event.
Dude, is that any good it was?
I mean this, this dude's justlike hooping putts from all over
(14:42):
the green.
I'm like okay okay, it was.
Graham (14:46):
Hey, sometimes it's that
people's you know it's their
time.
Scott (14:54):
And it was homeboys time.
And then you know we talk aboutColt noticed a lot on the
episodes cause he's got anawesome podcast and you know CBS
is doing the coverage this weekand we all know Colton Nose is
on their team.
Dude, you think I had shotsfired at the beginning of the
episode?
(15:14):
Wow, colton Nose had a bazooka.
Okay, tell me.
Graham (15:22):
Dude, as we all know,
had a bazooka.
Okay, d-may, tell me, tell me.
Scott (15:24):
Dude.
So, as we all know, liv versusPGA Tour and Liv was all happy
about their 12,000 people thatwatched their nighttime event.
This weekend, colt Nose says onthe broadcast on the 16th hole
you know the craziest hole ingolf hey, everyone, there's
(15:48):
24,000 people circled aroundthis golf hole.
That's 12,000 times two, if I'mnot mistaken.
I was like let's go, dude,let's go, is that any good?
(16:14):
And then, dude, justin thomason the last hole, 18 hoops it
from the fairway, makes dues foreagle goes from 13th to 4th.
It was sick, it was a fun event.
I mean, for a guy went in byseven.
You know, yeah, it was, it wasfun, it was entertaining.
And you know, like wastemanagement always does on super
(16:35):
bowl sunday, it keeps your brainoccupied until the game.
Graham (16:41):
You know, yeah, that's,
but you know because it was
pretty, they ended it prettyclose to the.
Scott (16:48):
It was.
It was literally it.
The putt was sunk and amandabalionis was out there.

about about a half hour, whichis perfect right, perfect timing
.
Announcer (17:05):

a good day.
I had fun.
I had fun with the fam.
We're here doing the episodeyou know, talking about our
favorite thing ever, which issports, and unfortunately we got
to watch the last football gameuntil September.
But before the game kicked off,did you see the news about
(17:27):
Aaron Rodgers?
Graham (17:30):
Uh.
Scott (17:33):
Not going back to the
Jets?
Okay, he flew across thecountry and met with the Jets
this week and he's not comingback.
So I saw this and I thought Ihad to add it to the episode.
Graham (17:50):
Okay, I'm afraid to add,
this is amazing.
Scott (17:53):
Wins as a starting
quarterback, Cam Newton as a
starting quarterback for thePatriots.
Seven Aaron Rodgers as astarting quarterback for the
Jets.
Six Is that any good dude?
(18:21):
When I saw that I literally Icouldn't even believe it.

Graham (18:31):
I don't even know what
to say to that.
You can't.
Scott (18:34):
There's nothing to say.

You can't?
There's nothing to say.
There's nothing to say dude,done, yeah, done Nothing to say
I don't know oh my God, that isgreat, yeah.
But something else I saw leadinginto the game.
You know all over my phonewatching the golf, just kind of
lounging.
(18:54):
There was a Dick's SportingGoods store in Philadelphia.
Did you see this?
This is amazing, dude.
They literally had on sale inthe store and had a sign on it
that says Kansas City Chiefsjerseys, and they took referee
(19:16):
jerseys and posted it.
I was like dude.
Graham (19:23):
I think I heard that
that is so good, oh, but I don't
know.
Scott (19:28):
Man, let's just jump
right into it.
You know, we talked last night.
We talked on the episodeWednesday.
We talked on the episode afterthe championship games.
I went from chiefs are gonnawin to eagles are gonna win and
we talked about it.
I don't know who the dude onthis and was that came on the
(19:49):
other day and, dude, heliterally hit the nail on the
head and was like Eagles in aroute, they're the better team
on paper.
You know, last time they playedit was the Eagles' first time
in the Super Bowl Came down to ayou know a call.
(20:13):
Was it holding?
Was it not Not important?
And it was their first time.
And then somebody that I alwaysrip on on this podcast of ours,
that O2, whatever his name is,he had a tweet this morning that
he ran into Howie Roseman lastnight and he goes what do you
(20:34):
think?
And Howie Roseman said theexact same thing.
He goes look, we lost to thechiefs the first time.
That was our first timeexperiencing everything the week
in the hotel, media day, thisthat the hour-long halftime.
It was all of our players'first times experiencing it.
(20:56):
Now we're doing it for a secondtime.
Granted, they have some newadditions and we're more
familiar with it.
It's not an eye-openingexperience and the Chiefs have
been there so many times.
Right, it's not new to them.
(21:17):
It wasn't new to the Chiefs.
It wasn't new to Hurts.
Yeah, and they dominated dude.
They came out and from theget-go it was very clear.
Like we talked about Spagnoliawhatever his name.
Name is best defensivecoordinator in the game.
(21:37):
His game plan was to what?
Take away who?
Saquon?
And you could see it watchingthe game.
A person that's not eveneducated, that doesn't even
follow the game, could see it.
They're not gonna let saquonburn you.
They're gonna make hertz beatyou because they didn't respect
(21:58):
hurts.
And what happened?
He beat you.
Not only did he beat you, buthe had the most rushing yards in
the super bowl for quarterbackever was 72.
Jesus, he beat you with his armand he beat you with his legs.
Announcer (22:15):
Yeah.
Scott (22:18):
It was awesome.
I love it.
It was amazing dude Trevor.
Rob texts me, he goes.
Trevor just said this is betterthan Christmas.
Graham (22:33):
Trevor, you need to get
some better presents.
If that's the case, I mean dude.
Oh, that's funny.
Look when you got a studdefense.
I mean, look what you knoweveryone's like.
Oh Belichick, what does he liketo do on defense?
(22:55):
He's going to take away yourbest player.
What would Belichick have doneagainst the Eagle?
Like having Saquon on theirteam.
The dimension that he brings tothem just opens everything up
so much Everything.
That if you have to take so manyplayers to focus on that one
guy.
(23:15):
Hey, by the way, way ourquarterback, he's not bad.
Yeah, you did pay him 250million dollars two years ago,
three years ago, like you got adeal after they went to zero.
So it's just like, uh, I don'tknow, you had this guy named aj
brown who's kind of pretty good.
You know, you had this otherguy, other guy that you took in
(23:37):
the first round, who was theHeisman Trophy winner from
Alabama.
He's pretty good.
Scott (23:42):
Speaking of, he was the
first player from Bama to ever
score a touchdown in the SuperBowl.
Graham (23:49):
Yeah, devonta Smith man
Props to you.
Scott (23:52):
Dude, we were talking
about it last night and I was
just like, wow, think about allthe players from Bama.
Graham (24:02):
Exactly.
Scott (24:02):
It's mind blowing how
many of them are.
Graham (24:05):
No, how many of them are
like All pros or first teamers,
but yet none of them havescored a touchdown In the Super
Bowl.
Scott (24:15):
Incredible dude.
That's like what you know.
What else is incredible?
Hit me, the best troll job Isaw all day and I I hope you
didn't see this, cause I'm aboutto send it to you right now.
No, I haven't seen anything,dude.
This is absolutely amazing.
It's a picture of Belichick andhis 12-year-old girlfriend
(24:40):
walking through New Orleans.
Look at this, read it out loud.
I just sent it to you.
Don't read it before.
Oh God.
Graham (24:49):
Belichick's 24-year-old
girlfriend walking around with
an Atlanta Falcons Super Bowl 51champion shirt is almost as
crazy as Bill Belichick having abigger dick than her.
Announcer (25:00):
No rack.
Graham (25:01):
Rack oh sorry, bigger
rack than her, sorry.
Scott (25:05):
Dude, she's walking
around in the 28-3 collapse.
Falcons Super Bowl t-shirt.
Graham (25:12):
She is so fucking hot,
oh, my God.
Scott (25:15):
That's not the point of
this.
Yeah, she is fucking hot.
Oh my God, that's not the pointof this.
Yeah, she is.
I know.
Only Bill Belichick has thatt-shirt lying around, of course.
Graham (25:25):
Right, dude, he does got
some man boobs in this Dude.
It's so good.
Scott (25:34):
So good.
I saw that and I was like comeon, really, oh, that's hilarious
yeah.
Dude Jalen Hurts MVP.
Graham (25:45):
Yeah, I mean.
Well, the thing is, if theEagles were going to win, it was
either going to be him orSaquon, and since Saquon was,
you know, bottled up, Before thelast touchdown bomb to Smith,
it was looking like sweat wasgoing to be the MVP.
Scott (26:06):
Two and a half sacks, six
or seven tackles yeah.
I mean could have been and Ijust got to throw it out there.
You know where he's from,chesapeake, right here.
Uh, anyhow, speaking of anotherchesapeake native, my boy dre
bligh, new cornerbacks coach forthe jets.
Let's go nice very good let'sgo, let's go.
(26:29):
But you know, andy, aka grammarpolice, sent us a text in our
group thread and he's like oh,theills would have been a better
game.
Debatable, would they?
Maybe who cares?
They lost.
Don't do the tush-push to theleft side of the line of
(26:51):
scrimmage four times.
Graham (26:55):
Yeah, now I'm kind of
curious, like it, what it would
have been if it would have beenthe ravens, the ravens eagles,
you know.
I mean, I mean, look it, it'sall yeah, speculative it's what
it's all whatever, butspeculative what was that?
Scott (27:16):
and I'm the one that's
been drinking since 630, okay,
yeah, whatever, I'm not going tomake you pronounce that word
again.
Graham (27:30):
I'm like sounding it out
.
I'm like wait a minute.
Look, we've been saying it mostof the season.
Not that we were saying thatthe KC were frauds, because I
mean, look, technically werethey getting dubs.
Announcer (27:45):
Yeah, yes.
Graham (27:46):
They were winning.
Granted, almost every one oftheir wins was within a single
digit.
Yeah, I don't think that they.
I think they only beat one teamby double digits.
Yeah, I forget who it was.
But but, that being said, thiswhole season we've been saying
the Eagles are right there asthe best team in the league.
(28:09):
So I mean, looking back on it,it's kind of like, well, yeah,
we should have seen this coming.
Scott (28:16):
And we talked about it a
couple weeks ago.
Dude Sirianni almost got firedlast year.
Yeah, remember the Eagles start, didn't they start off like
10-0 and then lost a shit tonand then lost to Tampa.
Announcer (28:35):
Yeah, they lost every
game and the wildcard round.
Scott (28:37):
I mean adds Fangio, adds
a new offensive coordinator, and
I don't know if you saw it inhis press conference he gave a
little shout-out to Kellen Mooreand was like I'd love to run it
back again.
Hope you don't take that job,dude.
I don't disagree with him.
(28:58):
I have a little bond withKellen Moore, not because of the
offensive coordinator butbecause he is basically the
reason we named my son Kellen.
We didn't name him after himbut when he was the quarterback
(29:18):
at boise state it was the firstcollege football game of the
year they were playing virginiatech, kristin's pregnant with
kellen and it was between kellenand another name and we kept
hearing them say kellen moore,kellen moore, kellen moore on
the broadcast and she looked atme and she's like Kellen's his
name and I'm like let's go.
So then he became the Chargersoffensive coordinator and
(29:43):
couldn't do Dick, but you know,but he also didn't have the best
offensive line on the planetSaquon Barkley running the ball,
you know, those kind of thingshelp, I mean a little bit when
you have pieces.
Just a little bit.
And, brandon, I wear the worsthat in the NFL ever.
Staley is your head coach.
You know you're kind of goingto suck.
(30:04):
So anyhow, you know, I hope hedoesn't go to New Orleans, dude.
I mean they're number 32 in theleague with salary cap.
I mean they got an old-assDerek Carr.
He's going there to get fired,dude.
Graham (30:24):
So don't, if you're a
hot topic now, you won't be hot
next year, I agree.
Scott (30:31):
Stay, stay, do Cliff, do
what Ben Johnson did last year.
Graham (30:34):
There's no point Stay
with the Lions for next year.
Scott (30:38):
Yeah, I mean, just don't
do it, trust me.
Graham (30:42):
There'll be six other
opportunities open up next year
yeah.
Like every year, there's sixnew head coaches Every year.
Absolutely Something's going tohappen.
Yeah, so I mean it's.
I mean obviously it's differentbeing the head coach.
But, look, it'd be one thing ifhe was to say to himself all
(31:05):
right, this will be the onlytime I get the opportunity, but,
dude, isn't he only like 33years old?
I don't know, but he ain't thatold 34?
Yeah, Exactly, Exactly.
So, that being said, rent itback next year, Dude.
If these knock on wood stayhealthy, they're odds on
favorite again.
Scott (31:25):
They're actually not
according to all the sports
books.
Okay yeah, they're third Chiefs.
Bills them, then Lions.
Yeah, okay yeah, Most completeteam in the NFL.
Dude, that's all you can say.
Announcer (31:44):
Yeah.
Scott (31:45):
Yeah.
Graham (31:46):
Most complete.
And the question is you know,roseman, someone's going to fall
in their lap in the draft.
You're just going to be likehow the fuck did they get him?
Like, how did he make it there?
You know what's going to happen.
You're just going to be like,well, I mean.
But also, look, he hit onplayers year one that started
(32:11):
week one and played all season.
This year yeah yeah, this year.
This year yeah, yeah, this yearA good team that can have
players plug and play from thedraft year one is like the
greatest scenario ever.
It's not like all right,usually your first round pick
will start and that's about it.
(32:32):
But they had their first,second, a third round pick start
and it's just like if you're agood team and you can draft well
and have some of those draftpicks be starters, then you can
go from a good team to a greatteam and if you can do that, you
know you've got the upper handand that's what all teams hope
(32:53):
for.
Scott (32:54):
I mean shit, that's what
I was hoping for in Pittsburgh
and a lot of other teams, butit's like not only that, not
only that, but you gotta giveprops to hurts dude.
Oh, he's hurts, his.
Everything the guy's done hasbeen amazing.
(33:15):
And this goes back to college.
He was benched in the nationalchampionship game for Tua and
Tua came in and won the nationalchampionship game.
So Hurts goes to Oklahoma.
Okay, he's taken in the secondround in the 2020 NFL draft,
(33:35):
53rd overall and let's don'tforget that draft Burrow, tua,
herbert he's the first one ofthem to win the Super Bowl.
Taken in the second round.
Graham (33:54):
I mean, he's been to two
of them.
Scott (33:56):
Yeah, I mean you gotta.
The guy has faced adversity andhas come out looking pretty
damn good dude.
Yeah, I mean, I mean Jeez.
Graham (34:14):
How do you think the
Mara family is doing right now?
Yeah, I cannot wait to see whatthe Daily News or the New York
Post tomorrow, what the backpage is going to say.
Yeah, Crazy.
(34:38):
He's like man.
It would really kill me ifSaquon goes over there and kills
it, and by you mean break therecord for most rushing yards in
the postseason for the wholeyear, including postseason.
Oh, I don't know.
And then, on top of that,winning a Super Bowl.
Is that any good it's?
Scott (34:57):
pretty amazing, dude.
It's pretty amazing and it wasclear as day.
We were just talking about thecollapse of the Eagles last year
.
Everybody, their weakness waswhat their defensive backs.
What do the Eagles go out anddo?
Draft Quinion Mitchell fromToledo, the number one corner in
(35:20):
the league, then trade up inthe second and get Cooper to
Jean.
Oh, I'm sorry, would Cooper dotonight?
He had a little tutty.
They're plug and play, guys,dude.
Rookie season.
Graham (35:36):
I'm like, oh, this is
easy, let's do this again, let's
bring it back.
Scott (35:40):
I mean, Brandon Graham
came back from injury, played
tonight, Just announced it's thelast game he's playing Retiring
after that.
I mean what a way for this guyto go out.
He hasn't played a game in howmany weeks Rehabs just to get
(36:00):
back to this moment Wins a SuperBowl.
I'm out.
Graham (36:05):
I mean I ain't mad at it
.
Scott (36:10):
Dude.
They posted on Instagram Ididn't send it to you, but
literally an audio recording ofSaquon.
I think it was his daughter hervoicemail.
He left him today before thegame.
I literally sat here and waslistening to it and was like,
(36:31):
wow, I was tearing up.
It was the cutest, coolestthing I've ever heard in my life
.
It was so awesome.
I don't know.
The Eagles had the chip ontheir shoulder, dude, from a
couple years ago, and thatphantom call.
They went out and got better onboth sides of the ball.
(36:52):
A first ballot Hall of Famercenter retires and jason kelsey
they replace him.
Graham (37:02):
I'm not gonna say they
didn't miss a beat, but they
didn't miss a beat yeah, I meanI wonder if I don't know, he's
been doing so much cool shitduring his first year of being
retired.
I mean with the win, I'm sure Imean obviously he's happy for
(37:22):
all his friends.
Oh, 100%.
I'm wondering if there's asmall part where he's just like,
if you listen, to their podcast?
Scott (37:33):
you would already know
the answer to that, and the
answer is no.
You would already know theanswer to that and the answer is
no.
Graham (37:44):
He is 100% all on board
for those guys.
Yeah, oh no, I'm sure he'shappy.
Scott (37:47):
For sure he's not mad
about it.
They were talking about it thispast week.
He's probably bummed becausehe's a family guy for his
brother, but he's stoked for histeammates.
You know he talked and they andPeyton and Eli were on their
episode this past week andPeyton goes I know you still do
(38:09):
a lot of things for theorganization and this and that
he goes.
If y'all win this coming weekand they decide to give you a
ring, would you accept it?
And without even thinking aboutit, jason was like fuck, no,
wow.
Graham (38:27):
Tell you one thing his
wife's happy.
Scott (38:30):
Yeah, I love it, dude, I
love it, I love it.
Graham (38:35):
It's just it's over,
dude, nfl's done yeah, but you
know, now comes for all the funspeculation of where players
gonna go, who's getting.
Scott (38:50):
I mean not even trades,
but like who's getting released,
granted permission to seek atrade today?
Graham (38:57):
yeah, I saw that they
have to do something.
Dude, they're paying so manyplayers on their team that they
can't even with the cap going up.
They couldn't pay everyone,obviously, because they gotta
pay Purdy.
They're gonna pay him.
He's gonna get 55.
Scott (39:18):
They have to.
Announcer (39:22):
I just said that and
I'm still stunned because I'm
like wait a minute.
Graham (39:26):
These guys are making
$55 million now a year.
What the?
I mean that's almost basketballplayer money.
Scott (39:33):
Don't forget Sam Darnold.
Don't forget Kirk Cousins.
Russell Wilson Steelers justsaid they're not bringing Russ
back player money.
Don't forget Sam Darnold.
Don't forget Kirk Cousins.
Russell Wilson Steelers justsaid they're not bringing Russ
back.
There's a lot of things goingto be figured out shortly.
Graham (39:50):
Yeah, the new year
coming up in March, A couple
weeks March, yeah, the secondweek of March, I think so.
And then, hey, at least we gotthe draft coming.
And then, after the draft,that's when you're like, all
right, now we're in for the longhaul.
Aka the next three months oftwiddling our thumbs and talking
(40:14):
about baseball, I guess.
Oh no, Actually, during thattime we can have hockey playoffs
, basketball playoffs.
So you know, we've got somegood shit to look forward to.
I'm happy about that.
Scott (40:27):
Remember it was announced
a couple days ago Steelers
playing in Ireland.
I think, yeah.
Yeah, rumor says it looks likeit's going to be the Packers
Steelers in Ireland.
All right, badger, we're goingto Ireland.
Badger's already bitter, causehe was thinking about going to
Andy's for the game.
He was texting about it tonight.
Oh really.
Announcer (40:49):
Yeah.
Graham (40:52):
But, you know, that
would, oh my God.
Scott (41:00):
Just the thought of those
two together.
I know that's a scary thought,isn't it?
Graham (41:04):
it's.
It's almost one of those like Iwish.
I wish I was like, uh, theoutside looking in, just
observing, like them not knowI'm there.
It's like put them in a room,give them a bunch of alcohol,
throw this, throw a tv on, throwa sports game on and just sit
back and watch yeah and just seewhat happens.
Throw you into the mix to stirthe pot a little bit oh, you
(41:29):
have to right you gotta do itjust to just shake it up a
little bit yeah.
Scott (41:38):
Dude, I keep looking back
to this.
With five minutes to go in thethird quarter of the Super Bowl,
Mahomes is seven for 15 and has41 yards and two interceptions.
Graham (41:59):
I know.
Scott (42:00):
Mahomes tweets after the
game.
I'm just seeing this now.
Appreciate all the love andsupport from Chiefs Kingdom.
I let y'all down today.
I'll always continue to workand try and learn and be better.
Want to give thanks to God forevery opportunity he's given me.
We will be back.
And that brings me to my nextlittle thing.
I want to give thanks to Godfor every opportunity he's given
me.
(42:20):
We will be back.
And that brings me to my nextlittle thing I want to talk
about.
I don't like to pat myself onthe back, but if you go back to
an episode last year, the nightthe Chiefs won the Super Bowl
and I'm just going to throw itout there exactly 33 minutes and
40 seconds into the episode,february 13th, graham asked me
(42:41):
if the Chiefs are going tothree-peat and my response is F,
no, granted.
You're not going out on a limbtalking about a team three-peat
and nobody's ever done it before.
But if there was ever a team todo it, and they did make it
back.
(43:03):
I mean, my guy's only beenbeaten by three quarterbacks in
the playoffs, yeah.
Graham (43:13):
You know, burrow Hertz
and Tom Brady.
Scott (43:18):
I don't know man, but
what did you?
You didn't really get to hear alot of it.
I thought Brady was decenttonight on his commentary.
Graham (43:31):
Brady, I noticed got
better over I mean definitely
over the year, yeah, he seemedpretty good.
Scott (43:40):
People think it's super
easy to go in and do what he's
doing.
But not only that, it'sabsolutely not.
You're the only one talking,you're taking this into a
commercial break.
It's not only the play on thefield, you know, compared to
Romo who just stepped in and hitthe ground running, I couldn't
(44:06):
stand Romo.
And then as a commentator, andnow you're like the guy is legit
, right, but somethingeverybody's bagging on Fox and
Ava brought it up when the gamestarted.
Did you see the stupid score onthe thing on the TV on the
(44:27):
bottom of the screen?
No, oh, everybody's bagging onit on Twitter and this and that
it was awful.
They're calling it what?
The score bug or somethingstupid like that Dude, miserable
.
It was terrible.
Like somebody tweeted at somepoint I forget who it was.
They were like dude.
(44:48):
Seeing this thing on the bottomof the screen is like looking
at my 90 year old parents fonton their iPhone.
Like it was like that big dude.
It was like, oh, like, why arewe doing this?
And you know that's funny.
(45:08):
Like you, our favorite teamsare in the afc, so we see more
games on cbs.
I'm not a big fox person.
No, it was terrible dude it wasterrible.
Graham (45:17):
Terrible.
Okay, would you rather have JoeBuck and Trey Aikman?
Scott (45:30):
No, but I saw next year
the games on NBC, so you know
who we get with him Mike Drigoand that wide receiver from the
Bengals Collinsworth, really.
Yeah, next year it's NBC andthe following year CBS.
Graham (45:49):
Yeah, I know, oh, you
mean your boy, jim Nance, is not
going to do the Phoenix Open.
He's going to have to no, he'lldo the Phoenix.
Scott (45:57):
He'll do it.
No, he'll do it next year, butthe following year he won't do
the Phoenix.
Graham (46:04):
No, that's what I'm
saying.
Yeah, because him being on CBS,yeah, so I didn't really get a
chance.
The one thing that I didn't getto notice is what a lot of well
, I can't say a lot of people.
But what's one of the biggestthings about the super bowl that
people love for over the past30, 40?
Scott (46:27):
I know where you're going
with it and I'm just gonna
throw this out there.
I know you're talking about thecommercials and this year right
this year I don't know if yousaw it you know how much a 30
second commercial was in thesuper Bowl.
Graham (46:41):
Well, last year it was
$6 million or $7 million, it was
$6.5 last year.
Announcer (46:46):
Oh, okay, $8.
Graham (46:47):
$8 this year.
The companies are still pony upand paying.
Scott (46:55):
And there was one
commercial deal with a bunch of
chicks in bras and I was likewhat is going on here?
And it was so funny that that'sthe only one that I saw it was
so funny because connor and oursan diego thread said something

sense now.
But like I'm watching thecommercial and I was like, yeah,

He sits in the same spot on thefloor, but like by the players,

but not but more on thebaseline of where the hoop is,
but more on the baseline ofwhere the hoop is.
They showed they had camerafootage of him looking at his
phone, finding out that Luca gottraded, and his reaction.
I saw that and was just likethis is what I've been waiting
for.
He jumped out of his seat andwas pointing at his phone,

Now, what here's.
What here's what I want to know, since we're boys, you know,

What I want to know is youshould ask romano, all right,
romano, when you finally went,walk through the locker room and
you saw your boy wearing thatoutfit, what was the first thing
(53:27):
that you like?
Did you know he was wearingthat?
Or like what you have to askhim for me, or like maybe I'll
just put it in the group chatand just ask him, like bro,
what's your like?
Be honest, what was your firstimpression when you saw that?
Or did he tell you he was goingto wear that?
Did you know that beforehand?
Did you just meet him in theclubhouse, in the locker room,
(53:51):
at the tournament, and then yousaw that I got to know this.
I'm just going to leave thatone alone.
Oh, I'm hitting him up, I don'tgive a shit, oh man.
Oh, I'm, I'm hitting them up, Idon't give a shit, dude.
Oh man, oh man.
Scott (54:07):
So alright, Something I
gotta bring up.
The best didn't go well.
Something I gotta bring up Goahead that I can't believe I
didn't bring up yet the GOAT,finally in the Hall of Fame Got
snubbed year one.
Graham (54:23):
Jared Allen.
Scott (54:28):
You know I love you, but
I would reach through this
goddamn computer and smack the.
Graham (54:34):
The taste out your mouth
.
Scott (54:35):
Make it bad-ass.
Dude.
The goat got the call.
Dude, and not only did he getthe call, his best friend, lt,
was the one to tell him.
I know you saw the video.
It was sick.
It was awesome as somebody thatliterally watched every one of
(55:00):
Gates' games to see the emotionon his face.
And then, something that Ididn't even know is he literally
buried his dad a week ago andthen gets in.
It was sick, dude, it wasawesome.
Undrafted Thanks for playing.
College basketball playerAmazing.
Graham (55:23):
But did you see?
Did you see the video for uh,for Sterling?
Scott (55:28):
Yeah, when his brother
gave it to told him that was
sick.
Yeah, that was awesome.
Graham (55:33):
Yeah, I kind of teared
up a little bit, it was good.
Announcer (55:35):
It was good.
Graham (55:36):
I.
Scott (55:37):
I, it was good.
I teared up for Gates Not goingto lie Obviously.
I teared up for Gates Not gonnalie Obviously, of course.
I mean Of course, just Him andLT.
I just hope LT Is the one thatdoes His induction speech.
I would be surprised, right?
Graham (55:53):
Yeah, I hope so but
Kinda like I would assume
Shannon would Do his Sterling100%.
Scott (56:00):
Especially your older
brother, dude.
Graham (56:02):
I mean, you know, yeah,
you know, your younger brother
gets in the hall Before you andthen Comes downstairs In the
house and Shannon's there, Iknow, and it's sick, right, I
love it, it's so sick, but it,you know it's funny Cause we've
talked about it In previousepisodes and I think we brought
this up, but, like I wasthinking about it more after I
(56:25):
watched that video, it's kind oflike and, like I said, I think
we did bring this up but, likeyou, like you have to be so good
and everyone has to perceiveyou to be so good that, granted,
it did take a while for him tofinally get in, but for him to
get in after only playing fiveseasons, that really shows that
(56:49):
it's not getting into the Hallof Fame is not specifically
about stats, especially nowadayswith how stats are so important
moving forward, just because ofhow the league has changed and
how it's a it's a more of ascoring league, you know, more
passing and stuff like that.
(57:10):
That it really makes you givecredit where credit is due.
You know, I mean the two peoplethat come to mind, obviously
Sterling, but then you know yourboy TD.
I mean, yeah, he only playedfor six seasons.
In those six seasons he got twosuper bowls, a 2 000 yard
rushing season, uh, straightnomination station, like like
(57:33):
first team, all pro, almostevery one of those I mean.
Like I mean during the years heplayed, there's only one
running back that held a candleto him, and that was Emmitt
Smith.
That's it, and that was Emmitttowards the back end of his
career.
To be honest, I'm trying tothink Wow, mahomes quarterback
rank 11.4.
(57:57):
Well, yeah, when you throw twopicks.
And I mean, what did he finishoff with yardage?
Scott (58:03):
He had a lot just because
the garbage.
Graham (58:06):
He had the Hail Mary at
the end, the garbage time, but
still, yeah, I mean.
Well, while you're looking thatup, we'll just finish it off
with this.
Since you didn't do too wellwith the bets on the waste
management, how did you do fairwith your Super Bowl?
Scott (58:24):
bets.
Well, my homes had 257.
Oh wow, so he didn't go over.
Three touchdowns, twointerceptions, 25 yards rushing.
Graham (58:36):
So my parlay did lose by
one.
Fucking Kareem Hunt, you gottabe kidding me.
Scott (58:42):
Kareem Hunt had three
carries for nine yards.
Graham (58:48):
The fact that he only
hit rush the ball three times.
What?
Scott (58:53):
Dude.
The Chiefs only had 11 rushingattempts in the game.
Graham (58:58):
Well, when you're down
24-0 at half.
Scott (59:01):
I mean the Eagles had 45
rushing attempts.
Saquon's rushing attemptsdominated that 26 is what he had
.
Graham (59:15):
Do you know what his
number was, what his attempts
was?
20.5, I think.
Oh, it was.
Scott (59:22):
I thought it was more, I
thought it was no 20 and a half,
but he only had 57 yards and notouchdown.
How many people lost money on aSaquon Barkley anytime, tutty?
Announcer (59:33):
Millions.
Scott (59:33):
The same amount of people
that had.
Dallas Goddard, over inreceptions.
What did I tell you last night?
The whole world's saying thisis a lock.
Graham (59:48):
He had to.
I know, dude.
So, all that being said, I gotmy ass kicked.
The only thing that saved mewas the hunch that I had, and
what I was telling you was youdon't trade for someone during
the middle of the season andexpect not to use them.
That I had and what I wastelling you was you don't trade
for someone during the middle ofthe season and expect not to
use them.
And I'm talking about DeAndreHopkins, the anytime touchdown
(01:00:09):
at plus 500.
Yeah, praise the Lord, in thefourth quarter, that I came
through, because that was theonly thing that slowed the
bleeding from all of my propbets that went.
Scott (01:00:21):
Dude.
His reception line over one anda half was plus money yeah,
insane and he only had two,whatever.
Graham (01:00:36):
Yeah, the touchdown was
the second catch five targets.
Scott (01:00:38):
He dropped the wide open
one.
I'm like what?
Graham (01:00:47):
I know if I had just
done the two catches and over
Saquon dude.
Scott (01:00:50):
His line for reception
was over one and a half at plus
money two and he had six.
Yeah, I mean, I mean you askedme about my bets.
I won the anytime defensivetouchdown score thing Amazing,
and pretty much I got Hopkins, Igot Saquon over receptions.
(01:01:16):
It was like a break-even kindof day.
My boy Maros had Dotson Firsttouchdown score.
I was telling you earlier,$2.50 to win 180.
At first they say it's atouchdown, then he's tackled on
(01:01:37):
the half-yard line.
I was like, oh my Lord, it iswhat it is line.
I was like, oh my Lord, youknow, it is what it is.
I mean now we just look forwardto free agency, the draft, and
see what happens.

be so much noise and speculation

about it until he came in, and
