Speaker 1 (00:19):
Doug Gottlieb Show, Fox Sports Radio coming to you from
the tyrack dot Com studios.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Tyrack dot com retb you get there.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
Unmatched selection, fast free shipping, free road as protection, over
ten thousand recommended dollars. Tyrack dot com sway tire buying
should be. We got a heck of a show for
you up coming. We have some games. My guy Dan
Buyer alongside NBA trade deadline is well now right.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
Yes, it is just pasted. Doug feels could still be done.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Don no, no, no, no trades. So okay, do you
want to get me the rundown on who's been traded?
Speaker 3 (00:59):
Like?
Speaker 2 (00:59):
Can we of the guys that matter?
Speaker 1 (01:01):
If you don't get mentioned, they don't matter, Like I
think that Mark Williams getting trade to the Lakers does
matter because it's one of those hey, you trade for Luca.
You have, you know, three high level scores in Reeves, Luka, Doncik,
and Lebron James.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
But Luca's a traffic cone.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Reeves is slightly better and Lebron is hit or missed defensively.
Now they got somebody to protect the rim. That does
make sense, right, all makes sense. Gives you a rim threat,
a lob threat, and a shot blocker. Obviously, I think
that the move the Bucks made. I don't know if
Kyle Kuzmas solves their issues, but he's an upgrade. He's
(01:43):
an upgrade over a former star that they trade, Chris Middleton,
who's kind of aged out a little bit. So I
think they got better. Dallas obviously looking far different with
Anthony Davis. Have yet to see him in a Mavericks uniform.
Dearren Fox leaving the Sacramento Kings. I don't know if
that makes them I don't think that makes them immediately viable,
(02:05):
but it's definitely a step in that direction where San
Antonio you feel like, hey, they're probably a season away
from being in mentioned in contention the Warriors acquired Jimmy Butler.
Is that the type of push that gets them back
to competing among the league's elite, and Kevin Durant isn't traded,
(02:25):
which means the Phoenix Suns continue to be kind of
a bit of a dumpster fire. Right feels like it.
Sure Knicks don't make a move this year. They made
their moves in the offseason. Celtics don't make a move.
They continue to push along. Calves don't really make a move.
And they're a team that's been the hottest team in
the East for most of the season. And that's really
the players are. I'm missing anybody that matters.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
I think there are two deals of substance. Clippers are
getting Bogdan Bogdanovitch from the Atlanta Hawks and three second
round picks. They sent Terrence Man and Bones Highland to
Atlanta in return. The Hawks also traded DeAndre Hunter to
the Cleveland Cavaliers for Karris Lt, George Niang and some
draft picks Hawks and everybody. They traded Cody Zeller to
(03:09):
the Rockets as well.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Yeah, it feels like the Hawks are about to hit
reset in the offseason, yes' because they last two off seasons.
There's been the potential threat of trading Trey Young. It
hasn't happened, but when you start to move every one
of the deck chairs around. You change coaches, you change
general managers, when you change everything, and the only thing
(03:32):
that hasn't changed is Trey Young. And he's incredibly productive,
but you're not winning anymore, Matt. In fact, you're winning
a little bit less. Then that feels like sort of
an inevitability that eventually he's moved to kind of hit reset.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Is that fair?
Speaker 3 (03:47):
I think so. But there could also be the equation,
And I think you're probably right of we tried this
with Trey Young. We put all these pieces around him,
and guess what, none of it worked. So let's try
to go a different route. But I don't know if
you have enough time to do that. So I think
that's why I leaned towards your thinking of it. They
(04:08):
made it to an Eastern Conference finals in twenty twenty one.
It's as far as they got, and that was honestly,
that was probably their ceiling anyway, for even them to
get that far, Toga.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
I think they that's happened in what's happened in the NFL.
Like right now, if you're the Commanders and you went
to the NFC Championship game, you were not the second
best team in the NFC.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
You were not.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
The Lions were the best team in the NFC. They
played poorly and they got beat. Now they're gonna have
to figure out new coordinators and losing some guys and
rebuilding that defense.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Okay, but if the.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
Redskins think they're a player or two away, they're kidding themselves.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
I don't think they think that.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
Yeah, right, they calling them the Commanders now.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Oh, I'm sorry, I kept saying redid It's all good.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
Part of that was our conversation yesterday with Rivera, with
Ron Rivera, who was basically said, like, I wish they
kept it as the Redskins. They did lots of studies
they should have kept as the Redskins. Anyway, let me
congratulate the NBA.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
All right, twofold. This NBA season.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Has been the boringest season on record, Right, can you
remember one basketball moment that you cared at all about outside.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Of why are they playing Bronnie James in the NBA?
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Like literally, that's the only thing that has drawn any
sort of attention ever ever.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
And I understand, Hey, you're a college basketball coach.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
I watch a lot more college basketball, a lot more film,
so maybe my mind is not on the NBA, but like, look,
I went to a Bucks game. I really enjoyed the experience.
I follow NBA teams. I have friends and coaches who
I call on in the NBA for advice and thoughts
and evaluations of some of the players we have. Some
of the players were going after some of the players
(05:51):
were playing against. All that said is I'm a basketball guy,
and I'm telling you I couldn't be less interested in
the snows fest that has been the first half of
the NBA season, and it's super weak. And the NFL
kicked the NBA's ass on Christmas Day. And you know
what the NBA did. The NBA said double birds. I'm
not giving double birds because we're on the YouTube. They
(06:13):
did double birds. And they moved the trade deadline to
Super Bowl Week. That's a bold move that I don't
know when they did it. Do you know when they
did it.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
It's been a couple of years, because I've had deja
vu sitting on the stage with you telling you the
trades that it went down. Really, yes, it is. It
has been a couple of years. But what I think
it was was the NFL had to expand their season.
So then it ended up falling in the trade deadline area.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Well, whatever they did, you know, you give me Luca's
been traded, Jimmy Butler's been traded, Anthony Davis has been traded,
Daron Fox has been traded, Kevin Rant has been flirted
with but not traded, and anybody else, any other stars
I'm thinking about being moved, right, But yeah, I think
(06:58):
I think that covers it. It on Super Week and
you have let's just be honest. The boring is super
Bowl week you can think of, right boring.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
Yeah, well, it's it's not driving. It's not driving. The
matchup is not driving the interest.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
It's not just not It's not not just the matchup.
It's I do think I have I didn't go to
Bourbon Street. Any guys going to Bourbon Street? Did anybody go?
Speaker 3 (07:25):
Not yet?
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Yeah, And it's one of those things.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
We had this discussion at dinner last night, which is like,
do I think people are gonna have a good time
Saurday night?
Speaker 2 (07:34):
Sure?
Speaker 1 (07:36):
Do I think it'll be the same level of uh
is it revelry revelry?
Speaker 2 (07:43):
I think it's with a V, isn't it?
Speaker 1 (07:44):
Yes, revelry will it's to be the same level of
revelry that it would have been before that awful terrorist
attack a couple of weeks ago. Now it's not gonna
be the same. It's impossible for you to feel the
same about this city considering what just happened, because we're
all like sort of reasonable people. I feel like College
(08:05):
also is a little less reasonable, you know. But you
know it's right before the Sugar Bowl, right before the
National semi finals, and you know there's import to you
is like should I be having a great time when they,
like just a couple of weeks ago, there are bodies
laying in the street. It feels weird anyway, point is
we're in this kind of weird place at the Super Bowl.
(08:27):
Weather's great teams are really good. Like the one thing
you can't argue with. You may be bored by it,
but the Eagles have been good for a couple years.
They have a great roster, and you can't argue with
Kansas City Andrey Reads. But also they have arguably the
greatest quarterback to ever play. So it's not for lack
of great teams. These are great teams. It's just nobody's
gonna say anything interesting anymore because they're all worried about pushback.
(08:49):
Neither team has sort of interesting new storylines that we
can think of that really make you make you want
to watch the game. And I don't know, it's kind
of a blah week. And here the NBA comes in
and says, I got your block week right.
Speaker 4 (09:08):
There for you.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
I would also say, what is interesting is one of
the bigger stories that I do think could have taken
place this week was Miles Garrett in his trade demand
from the Browns, and Miles Garrett was making the rounds
at certain spots here on Radio Row, and it almost
seemed as if not that it was part of the
pitch that he was pitching, but he was asked about
(09:30):
certain teams and the Commanders I know, were one of
the teams that he was asked about. And who's gonna
say no on when you're talking about like a command
would you like to go to the Commanders? Yeah, they
got a really good team over there. And then that
makes a headline, But that isn't that almost seems manufactured
in a way of I think an actual I.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
Think he got overshadowed by Luca, Like you got a
guy who's a very very good player, Miles Garrett's is
a very good player demanding a trade, which may or Manhattan.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
That happened, it's not going to happen this week.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
Versus a guy who's arguably the best player in the NBA,
who just went to the NBA Finals in a completely
surprised move, being traded in the exact same timeline that
he said. He that Miles Scartt said he wanted to
be traded. So I think that he frankly got lucid.
He could be he got lucid. Our set here in
(10:23):
New Orleans stands out as the best set at NFL
Media Center. Why because it's decked out with view Sonic monitors.
View Sonic a leading provider of visual solutions for education, work,
and entertainment. Visit ViewSonic dot com to see the difference.
Drew Brees is going to join us upcoming, but he's
joining us. He's going to pop on set next.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
I think he's I think it's going to be. I
think it's three o'clock local time.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
He'll be here. I think that's correct. Three he is, No,
he's he. I think you switched the schedule. Run he's
making the rounds round here.
Speaker 4 (10:54):
He's Brees is the next guy.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
Oh, he is next Joe. Okay, let's definitely have this
on there though.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
That's cool, So let's not It's okay, So let's just
kind of wrap this this the basketball talk. Is this
what's changed, because that's really what matters. What's changed Two things.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
One, the NBA season was boring. Now it's not.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
And now you have to at least consider the possibility
that the Warriors or players, don't you.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
Yeah, I think part of the reasons. I think part
of the reason why this season hasn't been as exciting,
and I know that's not popular, but that the Rockets,
thunder Grizzlies, Calfs are your best teams in your conferences.
So you better hope that the Warriors or Lakers are
something now to drive that certain interest. And maybe the
(11:44):
way the bracket sets up, Doug, you have it, so
you have those Lakers, Warriors, Suns, however, against those newer
teams at the top that will propel towards the playoffs. Yeah,
I think that they they're players. I'm just not as
high on Jimmy Butler as I'm not.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
High on Jimmy Butler either, but I do know that
he's an upgrade I believe over Andrew Wiggins for in
the short term. In the short term, like Andrew Wiggins
hasn't been good since the NBA Finals. Just when they
won the NBA Championship, he was, he was his best seller.
He hasn't been that guy since. And I don't know
(12:23):
if Jimmy Butler still has it, but and I you know,
but I do think that if he's second fiddle to
Steph Curry and he brings incredible toughness and postseason success,
older guys, tougher guys have a tendency to win in
the playoffs. There does get to a point to where
you don't have the talent anymore. And I don't know
if if he and if Steph and if Draymond are
(12:46):
to that point yet, but I'm willing to at least
conte And for the Lakers, I thought it was a
punt for the future. But you add Mark Williams and
You're like, I still don't think they can get there,
But I do think it's gonna be interesting. You have
three that can really score, you do have rim protection,
Your bench isn't particularly good, and you're not very good defensively,
(13:07):
but it makes it you're part of the conversation.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
Again, they have more of a reason of going for
it than the Warriors do. I mean, if we're comparing
the two, the Lakers had more of a reason to
do those deals then and the Luca deal remove it
from the game the scenario. The Lakers had a reason
go for it. Sitting there at five in the West.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
Yep, fair enough, fair enough.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
Anyway, NBA season became interesting, and I do think that
the bottom of the NBA playoff bracket became more competitive
with the top of the NBA playoff bracket.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
And the one thing we do know.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
About the NBA playoffs is regular season success does not
in any way mean that you're gonna have postseason NBA success.

live at the Tyreck dot Com Studios. Hall of Famer
Drew Brees tells us how he brought this city a championship.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Remember the Saints were the Aints.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
They had one playoff win ever, and then Drew Brees
and Sean Payton arrived and they won a Super Bowl.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
Had it happen? Tell you next? Thanks for listening to
The Doug Gotlieb Show podcast.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
Be sure to catch us live every weekday three to
five Eastern twelve two Pacific on Fox Sports Radio. Find
your local station for The Doug Gottlieb Show at Fox
Sports Radio dot com, or stream us live every day
on the iHeartRadio app by searching FSR. It's the Doug
Gottlieb Show here on Fox Sports Radio. And I don't
think he truly needs an introduction, especially in the city
(14:47):
that he brought their only Super Bowl championship too.
Speaker 4 (14:50):
But what the heck?
Speaker 1 (14:51):
Drew Brees joins us here on The Doug Gottlieb Show
on Fox Sports Radio. Hall of Famer, amazing at Purdue,
amazing father, a guy who everyone likes, synonymous with quarterback
play and finding ways to win games back when he
was a Charger as well. Drew, let me let me
ask you about the Chiefs. Okay, the consistency of their
(15:14):
success as a guy that has was in this league
and synonymous with success in this league. What impresses you
about their ability to get to championship game after super
Bowl after super Bowl.
Speaker 5 (15:25):
Yeah, to have consistency in the league, first off, you
have to have a great core. You have to build
a great foundation, You have to build a great culture.
What is culture. Culture is this belief that no matter
what the circumstances, no matter what the adversity or the
hardship or the tough times you go through, you will
come out better on the other side of that.
Speaker 4 (15:41):
Right.
Speaker 5 (15:41):
So, as you look around the league and you want
to define like the teams that have good culture, because
at times it's hard for people to articulate, like.
Speaker 4 (15:47):
What is good culture? How do you get good culture? Right?
Speaker 5 (15:50):
But like I look up at the Detroit Lions, that's
great culture. Why because when bad things happen, they get better, Right,
They get stronger, they get tougher, Right, they grow closer together.
If something happens that the media tries to make a
big deal out of, like oh a player did this,
like all of a sudden, that stuff gets squashed immediately
and it's done and we're moving on, right, Versus the
(16:12):
other side, which is you look at some teams and
it seems like when there's drama, when something goes wrong,
it's like this.
Speaker 4 (16:17):
I mean, it's just like a nose dive, right.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Okay, But how did you build it here?
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Because before you got here, like people forget the Saints,
what one playoff win ever?
Speaker 2 (16:29):
Ever?
Speaker 1 (16:29):
Yeah, how do you build that? I mean, I'm sustaining
it's hard, but like what you guys built you and
sewn together is amazing, especially in the context of this
was one of the worst franchises in all the professional sports.
Before you arrive, how'd you build that?
Speaker 5 (16:42):
You embrace, You embrace challenges, and you're not afraid of failure,
and not afraid of failure just means, man, we're gonna
do hard stuff. And by doing hard stuff, you know
that you're gonna face disappointment and failure and you're not
gonna get what you want at times, but you're gonna
use that as an opportunity to get stronger and stronger.
And if you know, if you do things the right way,
good things are gonna happen. And we do it with
people that you love. Man, each and every day you
(17:04):
just wake up with more and more of this commitment
to each other, like, man, I'm gonna bust my ass
because I don't want to let you down, right, And
we've set this goal together and we're gonna go accomplish
something great, right, And so that I mean it was
truly our mindset when we came here in six and
Sean went out and like hands selected those guys because
he knew it was going to take a special group
of guys, Like the New Orleans was not the most
attractive place to come to in two thousand and six, right,
six months post Katrina. City's devastated, Like facilities devastated. We're
(17:26):
gonna go like camp out in Jacksonsissippi for five weeks
and do training camp there, and the most miserable training
camp you've ever seen, you know, like been a part
of in your life, right, I mean it was like
Junction Boys.
Speaker 4 (17:36):
You know, like Bear Bryant back in the day, you know,
like Sticker birrs on me on the grass field.
Speaker 5 (17:42):
I mean, like just one of those moments where it's like, man,
this sucks, and guess what, Like we're gonna get through it,
and we're gonna be stronger because of it.
Speaker 4 (17:49):
And this is going to allow us to get to
where we want to get to.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
It in all of the moments of Super Bowl success,
you holding up at the time, you're one, Hell was.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
Your stif was one?
Speaker 4 (18:02):
Yeah he's sixteen now, but.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
You're holding him up.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
The ticker tape is falling like it was as a
as a dad. It was an emotional moment. Fifteen years later.
What feelings do you have when you think back to
that Super Bowl?
Speaker 4 (18:19):
I mean I have.
Speaker 5 (18:22):
I have so many incredible, like just feelings and emotions
about that moment because it was you know, it was
this It was this period of time where like, man, yeah,
we got there O six and we just we knew
what a daunting task it was ahead of us, and
we knew all that the city still had to overcome,
and we knew what a big part of that we
were as a team too, right, and just like creating
this tight knit fabric between team and fan base and
(18:44):
who that nation and like so to be up there
on the on the on the trophy stand with the
Lombardi Trophy with my son Balen and you're just sitting
there looking at your teammates like, man, you know we
did it, and look at the fan base and like
the tears in everyone's eyes, and like the way that
our fans support us every step of the way, and
just feeling like like we we we were so.
Speaker 4 (19:02):
In this together, you know.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
But there's also the personal part for you, right that
with how the Chargers did you, the injury, the fact
that people didn't think you'd ever be close to what
you were previously or ever play again, right, and that
so many people said, you know, said no, yeah, and
then to take that, and then to take and then
you combined with the team.
Speaker 4 (19:24):
I would call it.
Speaker 5 (19:25):
Look, it was a fulfillment of a calling, because like
truly coming to New Orleans.
Speaker 4 (19:29):
Was a calling, was a calling from God.
Speaker 5 (19:31):
Like my wife and I looking at each other at
a moment with Sean Payton in the car when he's
driving us around town and oh six, and we're just
like staring at a tugboat in the middle of the
road that literally was preventing us from passing, you know,
And and Sean was lost and he's getting frazzled, you know,
and and all of a sudden, like I'm looking at
my in his mind, he's like, gosh, I don't want
to show him this stuff because they won't want to.
Speaker 4 (19:52):
Come here, and in reality, it was my wife and
I were.
Speaker 5 (19:55):
Looking at each other saying we belong here, Like this
is about the resurrection one of America's greatest cities and
we get a chance to be a part of it.
Speaker 4 (20:00):
So it's so much more than just football.
Speaker 5 (20:02):
And I think that just gave us a great sense
of gratitude too, for every step of the way in
accomplishing that super BWL victory.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
This business is hard, Okay, I've been in this business.
I've had the ups, I've had the downs. You've made
no secret about the fact that you want to get
back into into calling games and end up being calling
games at the elite level. Hey, I'm a Hall of
Fame quarterback. I have the level of knowledge of having
done it time and again. What's the process like for
you of getting back to calling, you know, getting getting
(20:29):
to the level that you want in terms of broadcasting.
Speaker 5 (20:31):
Yeah, here's the thing. Like, you know, I on the
with the with the you know, with the concern of
sounding like cocky, arrogant. I mean like I would step
in right now and be top five, like no question,
and you give me a chance to work at it,
top three. You give me a chance to work at it.
I could be the very best. I love this game.
I know this game, I understand this game. I can
articulate this game. I feel like being able to broadcast
(20:56):
games and give fans that perspective that is very rare
to be able to give, right, but from a quarterbacks perspective,
having played the length of time that some of us
have and knowing the game the way we do, knowing
the offensive schemes, the defensive schemes, the coaches on both sides, right,
the lineage on both sides, like how did that offense
(21:17):
or defense evolve to what it was like? Knowing that player,
knowing their strengths and weaknesses, knowing situational football right, which
is really where the game is played, right, and where
I think the fans are all on the edge of
their seat wanting, like thirsting for whatever knowledge or experience
or wisdom can go into like creating like the best
moment that you possibly can through through the TV, Like
(21:38):
that's look, I love that, you know, I love that,
And I feel like that's a great way to contribute
back to this game.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
I think the hard part and again I've I've done it,
I've you know, is the you just want a chance, right,
It's like, hey man, just give me a chance. I
can figure this thing out and searching for that chance.
The great thing is there's more players into the thing,
you know, Netflix coming in Amazon or whatever. But there's
no reason for you not to get that, not to
(22:04):
get that opportunity. When he ask about Crown Royal wearing
this really cool jacket, yeah, christ sweet jacket, Crownroyl jacket.
Speaker 4 (22:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (22:11):
So Crownroyal is a huge supporter of our foundation, Briege
Dream Foundation, and all the efforts that we're doing here
in New Orleans. They've made a significant contribution to help
us continue to build healthcare facilities around the state, engage
in skills training job skills training programs through the Build
Strong Academy. Also, we're in a big public private partnership
with the City of New Orleans to build affordable housing.
(22:32):
So all these are our huge initiatives as a foundation
right now in the City of New Orleans. In addition
to that, Crownroll has been a ficial whiskey of the
NFL the last four years.
Speaker 4 (22:40):
They've got the.
Speaker 5 (22:41):
Crown Royl rig coming to town, which I don't know
if you've seen this, it's literally an eighteen wheeler with
like two massive whiskey barrels on the back, right, not
that they don't actually have whiskey in them, but it's
a signature piece that actually they're putting together these purple bags.
So people have the opportunity to go put together these
purple bags that end up getting sent to the troops overseas.
Speaker 4 (23:00):
It's helping to support our military.
Speaker 5 (23:01):
But also you can buy these jackets in a pop
up down in the French Quarter with all the proceeds
going to the Foundation for Louisiana.
Speaker 4 (23:08):
And guess who. Guess who's getting one of these jackets.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
Oh my god, you're the best dude. Dude that is hope.
Speaker 5 (23:15):
So you get to roll around town wearing your new
starter in black sat.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
Because this is like a we were in high school.
This was it right now, it's kind of.
Speaker 4 (23:24):
That's what I'm saying. Man, it's back retro.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
Do you guys rock these in Austin?
Speaker 4 (23:28):
Yeah? We did, of course.
Speaker 5 (23:29):
Well it was I mean it was it was like
Austin was like the weather is here, right, I mean
it's hot, it's sticky, but.
Speaker 4 (23:34):
Yeah, you know, winter time, winter time, we'd rock these.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
Hey, man, it's great to catch up. I know you're
coming up to Green Bay for the draft. Wait to
see up there. In the meantime, take care of those boys.
Yeah you got and uh and we'll we'll we'll see
who obviously. But anytime, anytime you see the Superdome, it's
synonymous with you, guys, I mean synonymous with it, and
just so much respect.
Speaker 4 (23:53):
For what you do. Thank you appreciate that. All right,
have a girl, you too.

Gottlieb Show here on Fox Sports Radio Quick Program. You
know Pooka Naku is going to join us upcoming shortly,
maybe thinking about five minutes or so, Dan, I had
(24:20):
a thought here, Okay, I don't know if it's profound
or not, but I think I kind of discovered something
which I need to get off my chest. We all
talk about how people are over and you're over the chiefs. Fair, Yeah, okay,
lots of people are over the chiefs, and I don't
think this is you. I think this is the greatest
(24:43):
percentage of people in the United States. You're over the
Chiefs because you cover the NFL. This is like you
invest all of yourself into covering the league.
Speaker 3 (24:52):
Right.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
Yes, so it's a little bit different for you than
I think it is for fanboy out there.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
But this was the thought that I had.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
I think it's going to be exceptionally difficult moving forward
for any president to have a second term consecutively because
what we have done. We've always done it with congress people,
We've done it some with presidents, but now it's like
all time peak where we just hate anything that's in
(25:23):
charge or successful or on top. We just do we
get over thinks. We move on so emotionally so quickly
that we yet we like the rise, but we really
like the fall and we really like to stomp on it.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
And it's really interesting.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
It's like, you know, Georgia football for years, Clemson football.
For years, Clemson football was clemsoning. Then they finally win
a championship and people are over Dabbo. They're just Overdabbo
and kind of the hokyness. He's the same hockey dude
he was when they were on the rise. As he
was when they've kind of leveled off, right, Georgia football,
Alabama football. I think the Chiefs are that way, Presidents
(26:03):
are that way. You name something, the Dodgers, Like, the
Dodgers finally win a World Series. It's the first non COVID,
right in how many years? Jay stew was that eighty
eight was the last one, right, So it's really the
second in the last thirty years or so, twenty five
thirty years, right, first non COVID in twenty five years
(26:23):
or so. And people are like, oh, Dodgers just spending
money ruining baseball. And again it's working out over the
Warriors in that thing. We're just over. We get over everything.
And it's not that we're over. We are a nation
of haters. We have a problem as a group. We
need group therapy because there's something wrong with people being successful.
(26:47):
Whereas when you're in the business of sports, or you're
in any business, I'm marvel.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
At people's success.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
It's like, look at Fox Sports Radio, Dan Patrick, Collin Koward,
those are big time shows. I don't marvel that they
just got there to being arguably the two best sports
radio shows.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
It's that those guys, though they're both those dudes are rich.
Speaker 4 (27:12):
They're not.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
They're wealthy.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
Okay, they could retire now, never work again, live great lives,
but they bring it to work every day. I marvel
at the consistency of bringing it, And honestly, like steven
A came over here the other day and said, keep
coming at me whatever, And I actually got to marvel
at steven A because despite the fact he's making a
(27:34):
crazy amount of money, he wants more. He wants to
keep at it. So I just think we're a nation
of haters.
Speaker 3 (27:39):
Just to support your point. From my perspective, I'm not
an NBA guy, and I got sick of the Warriors
through their seventy three game regular season. Like in that
regular season they had only won the previous year. So
I got sick of the Warriors at that point. So
I could see why it can happen in almost anything.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
And I don't know the causation of it, right, I
don't think this is a dad issue we had.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
I don't know what it is, but it's weird.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
We look back at other runs and we seem to
love them like the bulls thing we love we think
glowingly of. Now the Patriots are suddenly cool, whereas the
Patriots in the moment, we all thought they were cheaters, right,
and we hated them. Now all the Patriots are on
TV and radio and podcast and we love that. But
in the moment, we hate anything that's successful, anything that's on.
Speaker 3 (28:21):
Top, fair enough, fair point.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
Come up next to the Doug Gottlieb Show, Pooka Nokua.
You want to talk about a rise to success, But
what's it going to be like without Cooper Cup next year?
We'll ask Pooka. He joins us next.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
Thanks for listening to The Doug Gotleep Show podcast.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
Be sure to catch us live every weekday from three
to five Eastern twelve two Pacific on Fox Sports Radio.
Find your local station for The Doug Gotlip Show at
Foxsportsradio dot com, or stream us live every day on
the iHeartRadio app by searching FSR Stug gott Leap Show
here on Fox Sports Radio. Next hour, b Jon Robinson's
gonna join us. I can't wait to ask him about
(29:02):
the uh was it Lamborghini? He out of Texas? I
want to know if he had to give it back
right like it was one of those like just for photos.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
Did he get to drive it or did he or
did he get to keep it.
Speaker 3 (29:17):
Well, we're hearing a lot of backstories now. Jameis Winston
is making the rounds cleared up the crab legs story
this week. What he says he could so this deal
would have been okay if it was nil in the
NIL era, crab legs would have been okay.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
So in other words, it is what we thought, which
is those guys were always able to go in there
and get get free krab legs. It's just it was
Jameis Winston. He was caught on camera, yes, or that
he was getting free krab legs.
Speaker 3 (29:42):
Instead of putting on probation, let's put it on the player, right,
that it was Jamis's fault and not anything with the team.
That's what I think we found out.
Speaker 2 (29:51):
Okay, all right, you know what we should do.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
Let's uh, I don't think they gave out crab legs.
And when he was when he he was at Washington
or he was at BYU, it was before the NIL era, right,
So who better to ask about about what he thinks
of the new football era, especially the rise of BYU football,
than the legend himself, Pokinakola, who joins us here on
(30:15):
the Doug Gottlieb Show on Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
How are you?
Speaker 4 (30:17):
Life is good man? How you doing?
Speaker 1 (30:19):
I'm good. I got a bunch of things to throw
at you. What's like you get to the Rams? And
obviously Cooper had been hurt in out of the lineup.
Now obviously he wants to be traded. They're they're gonna
move him. But for a guy who's come into a
place where he was a gigantic, if not the biggest
part along with Stafford in winning that Super Bowl, what's
(30:42):
Cooper Cup meant to you and your rise to superstart him?
Speaker 6 (30:45):
He's been the best mentor to me from the mornent
I walked into the RAMS facility. He took me under
his wing, and he gave me all the information needed
to have success.
Speaker 4 (30:53):
And he's continued to do that.
Speaker 6 (30:54):
To be able to watch that and spend this offseason,
this past offseason with him, to see how consistent he
was during football season and see that consistency carry out
into everything in his life, being a great father, being
a great husband, and just being a prime example of
what my life could be like and who I want,
what the people I wanted to surround myself like and
(31:15):
with He's been that example for sure.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
We as non football players, we love watching snow games,
love watching snow games. That kind of bordered on ridiculous, right,
Like you just couldn't do much. Yeah, what was that game?
Like it was a wild one.
Speaker 6 (31:34):
I grew up in Utah, played some high school games
in Utah and we definitely had some snow flurries out there,
but nothing to that extent.
Speaker 4 (31:41):
So it definitely was a wild one. But it's fun.
Speaker 6 (31:42):
It's like it's what you put the Madden setting on
when you play the game, and is it yecause it
looks cool, it looks great, it looks like it's good.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
But just like the Madden setting, there's all these fumbles. Yeah,
twenty four to twenty three and you guys fumbled the football.
Otherwise maybe a different teams playing here.
Speaker 4 (31:55):
Yeah, it could be.
Speaker 6 (31:56):
And it's an exciting thing to go ahead into the offseason.
It leaves a sort of soura tastes in your mouth,
but then it pushes you in the option in the
work because like, this is where you want to be. Everybody,
every team wants to force that trophy up at the
end of this week.
Speaker 1 (32:07):
We last couple of years we've had this Matt Stafford
reevaluating what's your level of confidence that he'll be your
quarterback next year?
Speaker 4 (32:15):
I'd say I'm pretty confident.
Speaker 6 (32:17):
I don't I don't know really too much of what's
going on, obviously with some of the recent stuff that's
been happening, but I know, uh, I feel like I've
been trying to do my part in keeping him there.
Speaker 4 (32:24):
I feel like we've had a great connection.
Speaker 6 (32:26):
He's continued to be a great leader for me and
our team, and it's somebody who we rely on and
we keep we we really appreciate here at the RAMS organization.
Speaker 1 (32:34):
Okay, uh, you're here with go Bowling and the folks
at go bowling dot com and folks at PEPSI are
you a bowler?
Speaker 6 (32:39):
I am a bowler, actually, so I took I had
a bowling class in high school that.
Speaker 2 (32:44):
Wait, wait, wait wait, you get a bowling class. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (32:46):
My my basketball coach taught the bowling class. So I
would spend a decent, decent amount of time in high
school at the bowling alley and I would be there.
I got my own RAMS bowling ball shipped out here
for this event, so I'd be super excited tomorrow when
i'mould be drinking my caffeine free mug roup year and
then I'm gonna be hopefully bowling some strikes.
Speaker 1 (33:05):
Uh, Bolero Kenner. That's tomorrow night. You can be bowling
some strikes. So you have your own ball?
Speaker 4 (33:11):
Yep. Now huh no shoes, sadly, but I got my
own ball.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
Okay, Now it's just what do you know? What's the
bowl away?
Speaker 4 (33:17):
Fifteen pounds?
Speaker 2 (33:18):
That's a big old ball.
Speaker 1 (33:20):
It's does have the huge finger holes or they are
they're tailor made to you.
Speaker 4 (33:23):
They're tailor made to me. Yep, they're nice and set.
Speaker 1 (33:26):
Now you got you have your you got like obviously
you got your nails done.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
Right, you got you got manny, Yeah, I got that?
Is that do you always have that? Or is that
because the bowling no I.
Speaker 4 (33:34):
Got are always done? These? I mean these are my baby,
These are my money makers.
Speaker 2 (33:37):
So when did you start this? Uh?
Speaker 4 (33:39):
Probably sometime in college. Once I started.
Speaker 6 (33:42):
My mom never did this from I mean, we didn't
have enough money for me to be.
Speaker 4 (33:45):
Going to get my nails done.
Speaker 2 (33:46):
So now that you double it by.
Speaker 4 (33:48):
You at you dub actually is it when it first started?
Went in the tight ends Devin colpe. Uh.
Speaker 6 (33:52):
He took me to one of the nails lines and
they've done. They they take the calics off your feet
to you when they get your feet done. I was like,
why have I ever been running? Like I have these
collises and I can get them removed. And I was
like I So then like from kind of that that
moment forward, it's been my theme.
Speaker 2 (34:05):
That's pretty cool.
Speaker 1 (34:06):
Yeah, right, it's interesting, like like people started getting on
to Caleb Williams about it and then like all my
guys I talked to, like I have one of my
best player at Green Bay. I got named Anthony Roy
like he he hurt his ankle, he's been out and
he took a snapshot of his toes and I was like, dude,
you need.
Speaker 2 (34:23):
To get a pedicure right exactly, just nothing like some
ugly feet and ugly yah.
Speaker 4 (34:27):
I know it's bad.
Speaker 6 (34:28):
And especially I get a nice clean, uh clear coat
and stuff like that, it looks real good.
Speaker 3 (34:32):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (34:33):
It's it's really hard to tell what you guys matched
up with Philadelphia because that game was was so wild.
But what is it going to be like to watch
the team that beats you playing the Super Bowl?
Speaker 4 (34:45):
It's definitely tough. I don't know.
Speaker 6 (34:46):
I mean, I'm not a fan. I would definitely say
I'm somewhat of a sort loser. Like I'm not going
to be watching the game. I hopefully I'll be flying
back and then by the time we land, that game
will be over.
Speaker 1 (34:53):
So I'm gonna say I'm the same way, Like it's
hard to watch somebody who beats.
Speaker 6 (34:57):
You now, yeah exactly, And I'm like, man, especially when
if they beat us by fifty, you would feel a
little bit different. But when they we feel like we're
one play away that from being right here in this moment,
but wearing the jump the jumpsuits that everybody's wearing the
other night, It's definitely is tough.
Speaker 3 (35:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (35:12):
A little difference in BYU fans who pass out ice
cream to visiting fans and how Philadelphia Eagle fans treat
visiting teams and visiting fans.
Speaker 4 (35:20):
Fit one hundred percent. We have very, very different, two
opposite sides of the spectrum.
Speaker 1 (35:24):
Yeah, it absolutely positively it's pooking akouad gin us here
on the Doug Gottlieb Show on Fox Sports Radio. Okay,
so you have your own ball, you have this go
bowling dot Com it's gonna be tomorrow night.
Speaker 6 (35:38):
How good are you? It's I average about a two hundred.
I'm decently good.
Speaker 2 (35:44):
That's really I mean I think I could bolt. Okay,
so on, well here here's the other question.
Speaker 3 (35:49):
Do you have?
Speaker 1 (35:49):
I think I have like bowling add And by that
I mean, you know, like I don't know if you
play golf, But like I get to like hole fourteen,
I'm like, I'm good.
Speaker 2 (35:58):
I'm like a game and a half guy.
Speaker 1 (36:00):
Yeah, right, Like the first game, I finally get warmed up,
and by the end of the first game, I'm decent,
and then the second game, I'm good, and then I
hit like the sixth frame, like man.
Speaker 4 (36:10):
Man, I've been guard for a while.
Speaker 2 (36:11):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's the same.
Speaker 4 (36:13):
I haven't played too much golf, but I have.
Speaker 6 (36:15):
We hitted the halfway point and I was like, holy cow,
there's no chance we still got nine more holes.
Speaker 1 (36:21):
Okay, last thing, I think I think Stafford's gonna be
a Hall of Famer.
Speaker 4 (36:27):
What's he like?
Speaker 2 (36:28):
What's it really like to play with a guy like that.
Speaker 4 (36:31):
It's it's pretty interesting.
Speaker 6 (36:33):
He communicates really really fast, and he holds everybody to
kind of the same standard.
Speaker 4 (36:37):
He holds him to himself too.
Speaker 1 (36:38):
He expects you to in terms of his verbage and
how fast he gets the playout.
Speaker 4 (36:42):
Yeah, and his.
Speaker 6 (36:42):
Verbage, and then just kind of kind of how he
communicates in the in the meeting room, just it's slowed down.
We have time for conversations stuff like that, but out
there on the football field, like it's a time for
we have to get those reps in. That time is
very valuable. We don't get a thousand reps to be
out there in the football field. So to take the
time in the meeting room to understand so when we
get out there, the mistakes aren't trying to tell you
what to do. The mistakes are, hey, this is how
we'd like to do it this or how we can
(37:03):
be more precise. This is the technique we want you
to use and execute to get this plaid time. So
he takes advantage of all those moments, and he's aware
of those things, and he's always trying to make sure
that we're at the top of our game.
Speaker 1 (37:13):

Speaker 1 (00:25):
Unmatched selection, fast free shipping, free road as protection, over

you up coming. We have some games. My guy Dan
Buyer alongside NBA trade deadline is well now right.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
Yes, it is just pasted. Doug feels could still be done.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Don no, no, no, no trades. So okay, do you
want to get me the rundown on who's been traded?
Speaker 3 (00:59):
Like?
Speaker 2 (00:59):
Can we of the guys that matter?
Speaker 1 (01:01):
If you don't get mentioned, they don't matter, Like I
think that Mark Williams getting trade to the Lakers does
matter because it's one of those hey, you trade for Luca.
You have, you know, three high level scores in Reeves, Luka, Doncik,
and Lebron James.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
But Luca's a traffic cone.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Reeves is slightly better and Lebron is hit or missed defensively.
Now they got somebody to protect the rim. That does
make sense, right, all makes sense. Gives you a rim threat,
a lob threat, and a shot blocker. Obviously, I think
that the move the Bucks made. I don't know if
Kyle Kuzmas solves their issues, but he's an upgrade. He's
(01:43):
an upgrade over a former star that they trade, Chris Middleton,
who's kind of aged out a little bit. So I
think they got better. Dallas obviously looking far different with
Anthony Davis. Have yet to see him in a Mavericks uniform.
Dearren Fox leaving the Sacramento Kings. I don't know if
that makes them I don't think that makes them immediately viable,
(02:05):
but it's definitely a step in that direction where San
Antonio you feel like, hey, they're probably a season away
from being in mentioned in contention the Warriors acquired Jimmy Butler.
Is that the type of push that gets them back
to competing among the league's elite, and Kevin Durant isn't traded,
(02:25):
which means the Phoenix Suns continue to be kind of
a bit of a dumpster fire. Right feels like it.
Sure Knicks don't make a move this year. They made
their moves in the offseason. Celtics don't make a move.
They continue to push along. Calves don't really make a move.
And they're a team that's been the hottest team in
the East for most of the season. And that's really
the players are. I'm missing anybody that matters.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
I think there are two deals of substance. Clippers are
getting Bogdan Bogdanovitch from the Atlanta Hawks and three second
round picks. They sent Terrence Man and Bones Highland to
Atlanta in return. The Hawks also traded DeAndre Hunter to
the Cleveland Cavaliers for Karris Lt, George Niang and some
draft picks Hawks and everybody. They traded Cody Zeller to
(03:09):
the Rockets as well.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Yeah, it feels like the Hawks are about to hit
reset in the offseason, yes' because they last two off seasons.
There's been the potential threat of trading Trey Young. It
hasn't happened, but when you start to move every one
of the deck chairs around. You change coaches, you change
general managers, when you change everything, and the only thing
(03:32):
that hasn't changed is Trey Young. And he's incredibly productive,
but you're not winning anymore, Matt. In fact, you're winning
a little bit less. Then that feels like sort of
an inevitability that eventually he's moved to kind of hit reset.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Is that fair?
Speaker 3 (03:47):
I think so. But there could also be the equation,
And I think you're probably right of we tried this
with Trey Young. We put all these pieces around him,
and guess what, none of it worked. So let's try
to go a different route. But I don't know if
you have enough time to do that. So I think
that's why I leaned towards your thinking of it. They
(04:08):
made it to an Eastern Conference finals in twenty twenty one.
It's as far as they got, and that was honestly,
that was probably their ceiling anyway, for even them to
get that far, Toga.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
I think they that's happened in what's happened in the NFL.
Like right now, if you're the Commanders and you went
to the NFC Championship game, you were not the second
best team in the NFC.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
You were not.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
The Lions were the best team in the NFC. They
played poorly and they got beat. Now they're gonna have
to figure out new coordinators and losing some guys and
rebuilding that defense.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Okay, but if the.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
Redskins think they're a player or two away, they're kidding themselves.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
I don't think they think that.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
Yeah, right, they calling them the Commanders now.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Oh, I'm sorry, I kept saying redid It's all good.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
Part of that was our conversation yesterday with Rivera, with
Ron Rivera, who was basically said, like, I wish they
kept it as the Redskins. They did lots of studies
they should have kept as the Redskins. Anyway, let me
congratulate the NBA.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
All right, twofold. This NBA season.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Has been the boringest season on record, Right, can you
remember one basketball moment that you cared at all about outside.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Of why are they playing Bronnie James in the NBA?
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Like literally, that's the only thing that has drawn any
sort of attention ever ever.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
And I understand, Hey, you're a college basketball coach.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
I watch a lot more college basketball, a lot more film,
so maybe my mind is not on the NBA, but like, look,
I went to a Bucks game. I really enjoyed the experience.
I follow NBA teams. I have friends and coaches who
I call on in the NBA for advice and thoughts
and evaluations of some of the players we have. Some
of the players were going after some of the players
(05:51):
were playing against. All that said is I'm a basketball guy,
and I'm telling you I couldn't be less interested in
the snows fest that has been the first half of
the NBA season, and it's super weak. And the NFL
kicked the NBA's ass on Christmas Day. And you know
what the NBA did. The NBA said double birds. I'm
not giving double birds because we're on the YouTube. They
(06:13):
did double birds. And they moved the trade deadline to
Super Bowl Week. That's a bold move that I don't
know when they did it. Do you know when they
did it.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
It's been a couple of years, because I've had deja
vu sitting on the stage with you telling you the
trades that it went down. Really, yes, it is. It
has been a couple of years. But what I think
it was was the NFL had to expand their season.
So then it ended up falling in the trade deadline area.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Well, whatever they did, you know, you give me Luca's
been traded, Jimmy Butler's been traded, Anthony Davis has been traded,
Daron Fox has been traded, Kevin Rant has been flirted
with but not traded, and anybody else, any other stars
I'm thinking about being moved, right, But yeah, I think
(06:58):
I think that covers it. It on Super Week and
you have let's just be honest. The boring is super
Bowl week you can think of, right boring.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
Yeah, well, it's it's not driving. It's not driving. The
matchup is not driving the interest.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
It's not just not It's not not just the matchup.
It's I do think I have I didn't go to
Bourbon Street. Any guys going to Bourbon Street? Did anybody go?
Speaker 3 (07:25):
Not yet?
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Yeah, And it's one of those things.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
We had this discussion at dinner last night, which is like,
do I think people are gonna have a good time
Saurday night?
Speaker 2 (07:34):
Sure?
Speaker 1 (07:36):
Do I think it'll be the same level of uh
is it revelry revelry?
Speaker 2 (07:43):
I think it's with a V, isn't it?
Speaker 1 (07:44):
Yes, revelry will it's to be the same level of
revelry that it would have been before that awful terrorist
attack a couple of weeks ago. Now it's not gonna
be the same. It's impossible for you to feel the
same about this city considering what just happened, because we're
all like sort of reasonable people. I feel like College
(08:05):
also is a little less reasonable, you know. But you
know it's right before the Sugar Bowl, right before the
National semi finals, and you know there's import to you
is like should I be having a great time when they,
like just a couple of weeks ago, there are bodies
laying in the street. It feels weird anyway, point is
we're in this kind of weird place at the Super Bowl.
(08:27):
Weather's great teams are really good. Like the one thing
you can't argue with. You may be bored by it,
but the Eagles have been good for a couple years.
They have a great roster, and you can't argue with
Kansas City Andrey Reads. But also they have arguably the
greatest quarterback to ever play. So it's not for lack
of great teams. These are great teams. It's just nobody's
gonna say anything interesting anymore because they're all worried about pushback.
(08:49):
Neither team has sort of interesting new storylines that we
can think of that really make you make you want
to watch the game. And I don't know, it's kind
of a blah week. And here the NBA comes in
and says, I got your block week right.
Speaker 4 (09:08):
There for you.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
I would also say, what is interesting is one of
the bigger stories that I do think could have taken
place this week was Miles Garrett in his trade demand
from the Browns, and Miles Garrett was making the rounds
at certain spots here on Radio Row, and it almost
seemed as if not that it was part of the
pitch that he was pitching, but he was asked about
(09:30):
certain teams and the Commanders I know, were one of
the teams that he was asked about. And who's gonna
say no on when you're talking about like a command
would you like to go to the Commanders? Yeah, they
got a really good team over there. And then that
makes a headline, But that isn't that almost seems manufactured
in a way of I think an actual I.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
Think he got overshadowed by Luca, Like you got a
guy who's a very very good player, Miles Garrett's is
a very good player demanding a trade, which may or Manhattan.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
That happened, it's not going to happen this week.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
Versus a guy who's arguably the best player in the NBA,
who just went to the NBA Finals in a completely
surprised move, being traded in the exact same timeline that
he said. He that Miles Scartt said he wanted to
be traded. So I think that he frankly got lucid.
He could be he got lucid. Our set here in
(10:23):
New Orleans stands out as the best set at NFL
Media Center. Why because it's decked out with view Sonic monitors.
View Sonic a leading provider of visual solutions for education, work,
and entertainment. Visit ViewSonic dot com to see the difference.
Drew Brees is going to join us upcoming, but he's
joining us. He's going to pop on set next.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
I think he's I think it's going to be. I
think it's three o'clock local time.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
He'll be here. I think that's correct. Three he is, No,
he's he. I think you switched the schedule. Run he's
making the rounds round here.
Speaker 4 (10:54):
He's Brees is the next guy.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
Oh, he is next Joe. Okay, let's definitely have this
on there though.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
That's cool, So let's not It's okay, So let's just
kind of wrap this this the basketball talk. Is this
what's changed, because that's really what matters. What's changed Two things.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
One, the NBA season was boring. Now it's not.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
And now you have to at least consider the possibility
that the Warriors or players, don't you.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
Yeah, I think part of the reasons. I think part
of the reason why this season hasn't been as exciting,
and I know that's not popular, but that the Rockets,
thunder Grizzlies, Calfs are your best teams in your conferences.
So you better hope that the Warriors or Lakers are
something now to drive that certain interest. And maybe the
(11:44):
way the bracket sets up, Doug, you have it, so
you have those Lakers, Warriors, Suns, however, against those newer
teams at the top that will propel towards the playoffs. Yeah,
I think that they they're players. I'm just not as
high on Jimmy Butler as I'm not.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
High on Jimmy Butler either, but I do know that
he's an upgrade I believe over Andrew Wiggins for in
the short term. In the short term, like Andrew Wiggins
hasn't been good since the NBA Finals. Just when they
won the NBA Championship, he was, he was his best seller.
He hasn't been that guy since. And I don't know
(12:23):
if Jimmy Butler still has it, but and I you know,
but I do think that if he's second fiddle to
Steph Curry and he brings incredible toughness and postseason success,
older guys, tougher guys have a tendency to win in
the playoffs. There does get to a point to where
you don't have the talent anymore. And I don't know
if if he and if Steph and if Draymond are
(12:46):
to that point yet, but I'm willing to at least
conte And for the Lakers, I thought it was a
punt for the future. But you add Mark Williams and
You're like, I still don't think they can get there,
But I do think it's gonna be interesting. You have
three that can really score, you do have rim protection,
Your bench isn't particularly good, and you're not very good defensively,
(13:07):
but it makes it you're part of the conversation.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
Again, they have more of a reason of going for
it than the Warriors do. I mean, if we're comparing
the two, the Lakers had more of a reason to
do those deals then and the Luca deal remove it
from the game the scenario. The Lakers had a reason
go for it. Sitting there at five in the West.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
Yep, fair enough, fair enough.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
Anyway, NBA season became interesting, and I do think that
the bottom of the NBA playoff bracket became more competitive
with the top of the NBA playoff bracket.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
And the one thing we do know.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
About the NBA playoffs is regular season success does not
in any way mean that you're gonna have postseason NBA success.

live at the Tyreck dot Com Studios. Hall of Famer
Drew Brees tells us how he brought this city a championship.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Remember the Saints were the Aints.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
They had one playoff win ever, and then Drew Brees
and Sean Payton arrived and they won a Super Bowl.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
Had it happen? Tell you next? Thanks for listening to
The Doug Gotlieb Show podcast.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
Be sure to catch us live every weekday three to
five Eastern twelve two Pacific on Fox Sports Radio. Find
your local station for The Doug Gottlieb Show at Fox
Sports Radio dot com, or stream us live every day
on the iHeartRadio app by searching FSR. It's the Doug
Gottlieb Show here on Fox Sports Radio. And I don't
think he truly needs an introduction, especially in the city
(14:47):
that he brought their only Super Bowl championship too.
Speaker 4 (14:50):
But what the heck?
Speaker 1 (14:51):
Drew Brees joins us here on The Doug Gottlieb Show
on Fox Sports Radio. Hall of Famer, amazing at Purdue,
amazing father, a guy who everyone likes, synonymous with quarterback
play and finding ways to win games back when he
was a Charger as well. Drew, let me let me
ask you about the Chiefs. Okay, the consistency of their
(15:14):
success as a guy that has was in this league
and synonymous with success in this league. What impresses you
about their ability to get to championship game after super
Bowl after super Bowl.
Speaker 5 (15:25):
Yeah, to have consistency in the league, first off, you
have to have a great core. You have to build
a great foundation, You have to build a great culture.
What is culture. Culture is this belief that no matter
what the circumstances, no matter what the adversity or the
hardship or the tough times you go through, you will
come out better on the other side of that.
Speaker 4 (15:41):
Right.
Speaker 5 (15:41):
So, as you look around the league and you want
to define like the teams that have good culture, because
at times it's hard for people to articulate, like.
Speaker 4 (15:47):
What is good culture? How do you get good culture? Right?
Speaker 5 (15:50):
But like I look up at the Detroit Lions, that's
great culture. Why because when bad things happen, they get better, Right,
They get stronger, they get tougher, Right, they grow closer together.
If something happens that the media tries to make a
big deal out of, like oh a player did this,
like all of a sudden, that stuff gets squashed immediately
and it's done and we're moving on, right, Versus the
(16:12):
other side, which is you look at some teams and
it seems like when there's drama, when something goes wrong,
it's like this.
Speaker 4 (16:17):
I mean, it's just like a nose dive, right.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Okay, But how did you build it here?
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Because before you got here, like people forget the Saints,
what one playoff win ever?
Speaker 2 (16:29):
Ever?
Speaker 1 (16:29):
Yeah, how do you build that? I mean, I'm sustaining
it's hard, but like what you guys built you and
sewn together is amazing, especially in the context of this
was one of the worst franchises in all the professional sports.
Before you arrive, how'd you build that?
Speaker 5 (16:42):
You embrace, You embrace challenges, and you're not afraid of failure,
and not afraid of failure just means, man, we're gonna
do hard stuff. And by doing hard stuff, you know
that you're gonna face disappointment and failure and you're not
gonna get what you want at times, but you're gonna
use that as an opportunity to get stronger and stronger.
And if you know, if you do things the right way,
good things are gonna happen. And we do it with
people that you love. Man, each and every day you
(17:04):
just wake up with more and more of this commitment
to each other, like, man, I'm gonna bust my ass
because I don't want to let you down, right, And
we've set this goal together and we're gonna go accomplish
something great, right, And so that I mean it was
truly our mindset when we came here in six and
Sean went out and like hands selected those guys because
he knew it was going to take a special group
of guys, Like the New Orleans was not the most
attractive place to come to in two thousand and six, right,
six months post Katrina. City's devastated, Like facilities devastated. We're
(17:26):
gonna go like camp out in Jacksonsissippi for five weeks
and do training camp there, and the most miserable training
camp you've ever seen, you know, like been a part
of in your life, right, I mean it was like
Junction Boys.
Speaker 4 (17:36):
You know, like Bear Bryant back in the day, you know,
like Sticker birrs on me on the grass field.
Speaker 5 (17:42):
I mean, like just one of those moments where it's like, man,
this sucks, and guess what, Like we're gonna get through it,
and we're gonna be stronger because of it.
Speaker 4 (17:49):
And this is going to allow us to get to
where we want to get to.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
It in all of the moments of Super Bowl success,
you holding up at the time, you're one, Hell was.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
Your stif was one?
Speaker 4 (18:02):
Yeah he's sixteen now, but.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
You're holding him up.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
The ticker tape is falling like it was as a
as a dad. It was an emotional moment. Fifteen years later.
What feelings do you have when you think back to
that Super Bowl?
Speaker 4 (18:19):
I mean I have.
Speaker 5 (18:22):
I have so many incredible, like just feelings and emotions
about that moment because it was you know, it was
this It was this period of time where like, man, yeah,
we got there O six and we just we knew
what a daunting task it was ahead of us, and
we knew all that the city still had to overcome,
and we knew what a big part of that we
were as a team too, right, and just like creating
this tight knit fabric between team and fan base and
(18:44):
who that nation and like so to be up there
on the on the on the trophy stand with the
Lombardi Trophy with my son Balen and you're just sitting
there looking at your teammates like, man, you know we
did it, and look at the fan base and like
the tears in everyone's eyes, and like the way that
our fans support us every step of the way, and
just feeling like like we we we were so.
Speaker 4 (19:02):
In this together, you know.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
But there's also the personal part for you, right that
with how the Chargers did you, the injury, the fact
that people didn't think you'd ever be close to what
you were previously or ever play again, right, and that
so many people said, you know, said no, yeah, and
then to take that, and then to take and then
you combined with the team.
Speaker 4 (19:24):
I would call it.
Speaker 5 (19:25):
Look, it was a fulfillment of a calling, because like
truly coming to New Orleans.
Speaker 4 (19:29):
Was a calling, was a calling from God.
Speaker 5 (19:31):
Like my wife and I looking at each other at
a moment with Sean Payton in the car when he's
driving us around town and oh six, and we're just
like staring at a tugboat in the middle of the
road that literally was preventing us from passing, you know,
And and Sean was lost and he's getting frazzled, you know,
and and all of a sudden, like I'm looking at
my in his mind, he's like, gosh, I don't want
to show him this stuff because they won't want to.
Speaker 4 (19:52):
Come here, and in reality, it was my wife and
I were.
Speaker 5 (19:55):
Looking at each other saying we belong here, Like this
is about the resurrection one of America's greatest cities and
we get a chance to be a part of it.
Speaker 4 (20:00):
So it's so much more than just football.
Speaker 5 (20:02):
And I think that just gave us a great sense
of gratitude too, for every step of the way in
accomplishing that super BWL victory.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
This business is hard, Okay, I've been in this business.
I've had the ups, I've had the downs. You've made
no secret about the fact that you want to get
back into into calling games and end up being calling
games at the elite level. Hey, I'm a Hall of
Fame quarterback. I have the level of knowledge of having
done it time and again. What's the process like for
you of getting back to calling, you know, getting getting
(20:29):
to the level that you want in terms of broadcasting.
Speaker 5 (20:31):
Yeah, here's the thing. Like, you know, I on the
with the with the you know, with the concern of
sounding like cocky, arrogant. I mean like I would step
in right now and be top five, like no question,
and you give me a chance to work at it,
top three. You give me a chance to work at it.
I could be the very best. I love this game.
I know this game, I understand this game. I can
articulate this game. I feel like being able to broadcast
(20:56):
games and give fans that perspective that is very rare
to be able to give, right, but from a quarterbacks perspective,
having played the length of time that some of us
have and knowing the game the way we do, knowing
the offensive schemes, the defensive schemes, the coaches on both sides, right,
the lineage on both sides, like how did that offense
(21:17):
or defense evolve to what it was like? Knowing that player,
knowing their strengths and weaknesses, knowing situational football right, which
is really where the game is played, right, and where
I think the fans are all on the edge of
their seat wanting, like thirsting for whatever knowledge or experience
or wisdom can go into like creating like the best
moment that you possibly can through through the TV, Like
(21:38):
that's look, I love that, you know, I love that,
And I feel like that's a great way to contribute
back to this game.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
I think the hard part and again I've I've done it,
I've you know, is the you just want a chance, right,
It's like, hey man, just give me a chance. I
can figure this thing out and searching for that chance.
The great thing is there's more players into the thing,
you know, Netflix coming in Amazon or whatever. But there's
no reason for you not to get that, not to
(22:04):
get that opportunity. When he ask about Crown Royal wearing
this really cool jacket, yeah, christ sweet jacket, Crownroyl jacket.
Speaker 4 (22:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (22:11):
So Crownroyal is a huge supporter of our foundation, Briege
Dream Foundation, and all the efforts that we're doing here
in New Orleans. They've made a significant contribution to help
us continue to build healthcare facilities around the state, engage
in skills training job skills training programs through the Build
Strong Academy. Also, we're in a big public private partnership
with the City of New Orleans to build affordable housing.
(22:32):
So all these are our huge initiatives as a foundation
right now in the City of New Orleans. In addition
to that, Crownroll has been a ficial whiskey of the
NFL the last four years.
Speaker 4 (22:40):
They've got the.
Speaker 5 (22:41):
Crown Royl rig coming to town, which I don't know
if you've seen this, it's literally an eighteen wheeler with
like two massive whiskey barrels on the back, right, not
that they don't actually have whiskey in them, but it's
a signature piece that actually they're putting together these purple bags.
So people have the opportunity to go put together these
purple bags that end up getting sent to the troops overseas.
Speaker 4 (23:00):
It's helping to support our military.
Speaker 5 (23:01):
But also you can buy these jackets in a pop
up down in the French Quarter with all the proceeds
going to the Foundation for Louisiana.
Speaker 4 (23:08):
And guess who. Guess who's getting one of these jackets.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
Oh my god, you're the best dude. Dude that is hope.
Speaker 5 (23:15):
So you get to roll around town wearing your new
starter in black sat.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
Because this is like a we were in high school.
This was it right now, it's kind of.
Speaker 4 (23:24):
That's what I'm saying. Man, it's back retro.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
Do you guys rock these in Austin?
Speaker 4 (23:28):
Yeah? We did, of course.
Speaker 5 (23:29):
Well it was I mean it was it was like
Austin was like the weather is here, right, I mean
it's hot, it's sticky, but.
Speaker 4 (23:34):
Yeah, you know, winter time, winter time, we'd rock these.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
Hey, man, it's great to catch up. I know you're
coming up to Green Bay for the draft. Wait to
see up there. In the meantime, take care of those boys.
Yeah you got and uh and we'll we'll we'll see
who obviously. But anytime, anytime you see the Superdome, it's
synonymous with you, guys, I mean synonymous with it, and
just so much respect.
Speaker 4 (23:53):
For what you do. Thank you appreciate that. All right,
have a girl, you too.

Gottlieb Show here on Fox Sports Radio Quick Program. You
know Pooka Naku is going to join us upcoming shortly,
maybe thinking about five minutes or so, Dan, I had
(24:20):
a thought here, Okay, I don't know if it's profound
or not, but I think I kind of discovered something
which I need to get off my chest. We all
talk about how people are over and you're over the chiefs. Fair, Yeah, okay,
lots of people are over the chiefs, and I don't
think this is you. I think this is the greatest
(24:43):
percentage of people in the United States. You're over the
Chiefs because you cover the NFL. This is like you
invest all of yourself into covering the league.
Speaker 3 (24:52):
Right.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
Yes, so it's a little bit different for you than
I think it is for fanboy out there.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
But this was the thought that I had.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
I think it's going to be exceptionally difficult moving forward
for any president to have a second term consecutively because
what we have done. We've always done it with congress people,
We've done it some with presidents, but now it's like
all time peak where we just hate anything that's in
(25:23):
charge or successful or on top. We just do we
get over thinks. We move on so emotionally so quickly
that we yet we like the rise, but we really
like the fall and we really like to stomp on it.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
And it's really interesting.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
It's like, you know, Georgia football for years, Clemson football.
For years, Clemson football was clemsoning. Then they finally win
a championship and people are over Dabbo. They're just Overdabbo
and kind of the hokyness. He's the same hockey dude
he was when they were on the rise. As he
was when they've kind of leveled off, right, Georgia football,
Alabama football. I think the Chiefs are that way, Presidents
(26:03):
are that way. You name something, the Dodgers, Like, the
Dodgers finally win a World Series. It's the first non COVID,
right in how many years? Jay stew was that eighty
eight was the last one, right, So it's really the
second in the last thirty years or so, twenty five
thirty years, right, first non COVID in twenty five years
(26:23):
or so. And people are like, oh, Dodgers just spending
money ruining baseball. And again it's working out over the
Warriors in that thing. We're just over. We get over everything.
And it's not that we're over. We are a nation
of haters. We have a problem as a group. We
need group therapy because there's something wrong with people being successful.
(26:47):
Whereas when you're in the business of sports, or you're
in any business, I'm marvel.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
At people's success.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
It's like, look at Fox Sports Radio, Dan Patrick, Collin Koward,
those are big time shows. I don't marvel that they
just got there to being arguably the two best sports
radio shows.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
It's that those guys, though they're both those dudes are rich.
Speaker 4 (27:12):
They're not.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
They're wealthy.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
Okay, they could retire now, never work again, live great lives,
but they bring it to work every day. I marvel
at the consistency of bringing it, And honestly, like steven
A came over here the other day and said, keep
coming at me whatever, And I actually got to marvel
at steven A because despite the fact he's making a
(27:34):
crazy amount of money, he wants more. He wants to
keep at it. So I just think we're a nation
of haters.
Speaker 3 (27:39):
Just to support your point. From my perspective, I'm not
an NBA guy, and I got sick of the Warriors
through their seventy three game regular season. Like in that
regular season they had only won the previous year. So
I got sick of the Warriors at that point. So
I could see why it can happen in almost anything.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
And I don't know the causation of it, right, I
don't think this is a dad issue we had.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
I don't know what it is, but it's weird.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
We look back at other runs and we seem to
love them like the bulls thing we love we think
glowingly of. Now the Patriots are suddenly cool, whereas the
Patriots in the moment, we all thought they were cheaters, right,
and we hated them. Now all the Patriots are on
TV and radio and podcast and we love that. But
in the moment, we hate anything that's successful, anything that's on.
Speaker 3 (28:21):
Top, fair enough, fair point.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
Come up next to the Doug Gottlieb Show, Pooka Nokua.
You want to talk about a rise to success, But
what's it going to be like without Cooper Cup next year?
We'll ask Pooka. He joins us next.
Speaker 2 (28:37):

gonna join us. I can't wait to ask him about
(29:02):
the uh was it Lamborghini? He out of Texas? I
want to know if he had to give it back
right like it was one of those like just for photos.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
Did he get to drive it or did he or
did he get to keep it.
Speaker 3 (29:17):
Well, we're hearing a lot of backstories now. Jameis Winston
is making the rounds cleared up the crab legs story
this week. What he says he could so this deal
would have been okay if it was nil in the
NIL era, crab legs would have been okay.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
So in other words, it is what we thought, which
is those guys were always able to go in there
and get get free krab legs. It's just it was
Jameis Winston. He was caught on camera, yes, or that
he was getting free krab legs.
Speaker 3 (29:42):
Instead of putting on probation, let's put it on the player, right,
that it was Jamis's fault and not anything with the team.
That's what I think we found out.
Speaker 2 (29:51):
Okay, all right, you know what we should do.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
Let's uh, I don't think they gave out crab legs.
And when he was when he he was at Washington
or he was at BYU, it was before the NIL era, right,
So who better to ask about about what he thinks
of the new football era, especially the rise of BYU football,
than the legend himself, Pokinakola, who joins us here on
(30:15):
the Doug Gottlieb Show on Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
How are you?
Speaker 4 (30:17):
Life is good man? How you doing?
Speaker 1 (30:19):
I'm good. I got a bunch of things to throw
at you. What's like you get to the Rams? And
obviously Cooper had been hurt in out of the lineup.
Now obviously he wants to be traded. They're they're gonna
move him. But for a guy who's come into a
place where he was a gigantic, if not the biggest
part along with Stafford in winning that Super Bowl, what's
(30:42):
Cooper Cup meant to you and your rise to superstart him?
Speaker 6 (30:45):
He's been the best mentor to me from the mornent
I walked into the RAMS facility. He took me under
his wing, and he gave me all the information needed
to have success.
Speaker 4 (30:53):
And he's continued to do that.
Speaker 6 (30:54):
To be able to watch that and spend this offseason,
this past offseason with him, to see how consistent he
was during football season and see that consistency carry out
into everything in his life, being a great father, being
a great husband, and just being a prime example of
what my life could be like and who I want,
what the people I wanted to surround myself like and
(31:15):
with He's been that example for sure.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
We as non football players, we love watching snow games,
love watching snow games. That kind of bordered on ridiculous, right,
Like you just couldn't do much. Yeah, what was that game?
Like it was a wild one.
Speaker 6 (31:34):
I grew up in Utah, played some high school games
in Utah and we definitely had some snow flurries out there,
but nothing to that extent.
Speaker 4 (31:41):
So it definitely was a wild one. But it's fun.
Speaker 6 (31:42):
It's like it's what you put the Madden setting on
when you play the game, and is it yecause it
looks cool, it looks great, it looks like it's good.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
But just like the Madden setting, there's all these fumbles. Yeah,
twenty four to twenty three and you guys fumbled the football.
Otherwise maybe a different teams playing here.
Speaker 4 (31:55):
Yeah, it could be.
Speaker 6 (31:56):
And it's an exciting thing to go ahead into the offseason.
It leaves a sort of soura tastes in your mouth,
but then it pushes you in the option in the
work because like, this is where you want to be. Everybody,
every team wants to force that trophy up at the
end of this week.
Speaker 1 (32:07):
We last couple of years we've had this Matt Stafford
reevaluating what's your level of confidence that he'll be your
quarterback next year?
Speaker 4 (32:15):
I'd say I'm pretty confident.
Speaker 6 (32:17):
I don't I don't know really too much of what's
going on, obviously with some of the recent stuff that's
been happening, but I know, uh, I feel like I've
been trying to do my part in keeping him there.
Speaker 4 (32:24):
I feel like we've had a great connection.
Speaker 6 (32:26):
He's continued to be a great leader for me and
our team, and it's somebody who we rely on and
we keep we we really appreciate here at the RAMS organization.
Speaker 1 (32:34):
Okay, uh, you're here with go Bowling and the folks
at go bowling dot com and folks at PEPSI are
you a bowler?
Speaker 6 (32:39):
I am a bowler, actually, so I took I had
a bowling class in high school that.
Speaker 2 (32:44):
Wait, wait, wait wait, you get a bowling class. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (32:46):
My my basketball coach taught the bowling class. So I
would spend a decent, decent amount of time in high
school at the bowling alley and I would be there.
I got my own RAMS bowling ball shipped out here
for this event, so I'd be super excited tomorrow when
i'mould be drinking my caffeine free mug roup year and
then I'm gonna be hopefully bowling some strikes.
Speaker 1 (33:05):
Uh, Bolero Kenner. That's tomorrow night. You can be bowling
some strikes. So you have your own ball?
Speaker 4 (33:11):
Yep. Now huh no shoes, sadly, but I got my
own ball.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
Okay, Now it's just what do you know? What's the
bowl away?
Speaker 4 (33:17):
Fifteen pounds?
Speaker 2 (33:18):
That's a big old ball.
Speaker 1 (33:20):
It's does have the huge finger holes or they are
they're tailor made to you.
Speaker 4 (33:23):
They're tailor made to me. Yep, they're nice and set.
Speaker 1 (33:26):
Now you got you have your you got like obviously
you got your nails done.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
Right, you got you got manny, Yeah, I got that?
Is that do you always have that? Or is that
because the bowling no I.
Speaker 4 (33:34):
Got are always done? These? I mean these are my baby,
These are my money makers.
Speaker 2 (33:37):
So when did you start this? Uh?
Speaker 4 (33:39):
Probably sometime in college. Once I started.
Speaker 6 (33:42):
My mom never did this from I mean, we didn't
have enough money for me to be.
Speaker 4 (33:45):
Going to get my nails done.
Speaker 2 (33:46):
So now that you double it by.
Speaker 4 (33:48):
You at you dub actually is it when it first started?
Went in the tight ends Devin colpe. Uh.
Speaker 6 (33:52):
He took me to one of the nails lines and
they've done. They they take the calics off your feet
to you when they get your feet done. I was like,
why have I ever been running? Like I have these
collises and I can get them removed. And I was
like I So then like from kind of that that
moment forward, it's been my theme.
Speaker 2 (34:05):
That's pretty cool.
Speaker 1 (34:06):
Yeah, right, it's interesting, like like people started getting on
to Caleb Williams about it and then like all my
guys I talked to, like I have one of my
best player at Green Bay. I got named Anthony Roy
like he he hurt his ankle, he's been out and
he took a snapshot of his toes and I was like, dude,
you need.
Speaker 2 (34:23):
To get a pedicure right exactly, just nothing like some
ugly feet and ugly yah.
Speaker 4 (34:27):
I know it's bad.
Speaker 6 (34:28):
And especially I get a nice clean, uh clear coat
and stuff like that, it looks real good.
Speaker 3 (34:32):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (34:33):
It's it's really hard to tell what you guys matched
up with Philadelphia because that game was was so wild.
But what is it going to be like to watch
the team that beats you playing the Super Bowl?
Speaker 4 (34:45):
It's definitely tough. I don't know.
Speaker 6 (34:46):
I mean, I'm not a fan. I would definitely say
I'm somewhat of a sort loser. Like I'm not going
to be watching the game. I hopefully I'll be flying
back and then by the time we land, that game
will be over.
Speaker 1 (34:53):
So I'm gonna say I'm the same way, Like it's
hard to watch somebody who beats.
Speaker 6 (34:57):
You now, yeah exactly, And I'm like, man, especially when
if they beat us by fifty, you would feel a
little bit different. But when they we feel like we're
one play away that from being right here in this moment,
but wearing the jump the jumpsuits that everybody's wearing the
other night, It's definitely is tough.
Speaker 3 (35:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (35:12):
A little difference in BYU fans who pass out ice
cream to visiting fans and how Philadelphia Eagle fans treat
visiting teams and visiting fans.
Speaker 4 (35:20):
Fit one hundred percent. We have very, very different, two
opposite sides of the spectrum.
Speaker 1 (35:24):
Yeah, it absolutely positively it's pooking akouad gin us here
on the Doug Gottlieb Show on Fox Sports Radio. Okay,
so you have your own ball, you have this go
bowling dot Com it's gonna be tomorrow night.
Speaker 6 (35:38):
How good are you? It's I average about a two hundred.
I'm decently good.
Speaker 2 (35:44):
That's really I mean I think I could bolt. Okay,
so on, well here here's the other question.
Speaker 3 (35:49):
Do you have?
Speaker 1 (35:49):
I think I have like bowling add And by that
I mean, you know, like I don't know if you
play golf, But like I get to like hole fourteen,
I'm like, I'm good.
Speaker 2 (35:58):
I'm like a game and a half guy.
Speaker 1 (36:00):
Yeah, right, Like the first game, I finally get warmed up,
and by the end of the first game, I'm decent,
and then the second game, I'm good, and then I
hit like the sixth frame, like man.
Speaker 4 (36:10):
Man, I've been guard for a while.
Speaker 2 (36:11):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's the same.
Speaker 4 (36:13):
I haven't played too much golf, but I have.
Speaker 6 (36:15):
We hitted the halfway point and I was like, holy cow,
there's no chance we still got nine more holes.
Speaker 1 (36:21):
Okay, last thing, I think I think Stafford's gonna be
a Hall of Famer.
Speaker 4 (36:27):
What's he like?
Speaker 2 (36:28):
What's it really like to play with a guy like that.
Speaker 4 (36:31):
It's it's pretty interesting.
Speaker 6 (36:33):
He communicates really really fast, and he holds everybody to
kind of the same standard.
Speaker 4 (36:37):
He holds him to himself too.
Speaker 1 (36:38):
He expects you to in terms of his verbage and
how fast he gets the playout.
Speaker 4 (36:42):
Yeah, and his.
Speaker 6 (36:42):
Verbage, and then just kind of kind of how he
communicates in the in the meeting room, just it's slowed down.
We have time for conversations stuff like that, but out
there on the football field, like it's a time for
we have to get those reps in. That time is
very valuable. We don't get a thousand reps to be
out there in the football field. So to take the
time in the meeting room to understand so when we
get out there, the mistakes aren't trying to tell you
what to do. The mistakes are, hey, this is how
we'd like to do it this or how we can
(37:03):
be more precise. This is the technique we want you
to use and execute to get this plaid time. So
he takes advantage of all those moments, and he's aware
of those things, and he's always trying to make sure
that we're at the top of our game.
Speaker 1 (37:13):
That's the one only Pooka Nakooa, whether you're in Nola
for the Soup Bowl or you're tuning in at home,

on the bowling action by downloading a free game coupon.
