Steel is gonna join us in your moments r G three. Boy,
he didn't know anything about quarterback changes in Uh in

(00:48):
d C. He's gonna join us in twenty minutes. Then
Jared Golf quarterback, Uh the l a Rams who everybody
bailed on. He stinks he's a bust now like, oh,
he's really good. Good that Jered Goals gonna join us

Baker Mayfield joined us on on set. Sold Christian McCaffrey
and ju Juice Smith Schuster. We are locked and loaded. Uh,

(01:12):
everybody ends their show with a super Bowl prediction. I'm
gonna start mine with a super Bowl prediction. Okay, the
Philadelphia Eagles defense is nasty and no, I don't think
Nick Foles is your traditional super Bowl winning quarterback. But
when we've seen defenses that are this dominant, this good
up front, this built to win in the fourth quarter, um,

(01:33):
it's the type of defenses that have given given uh
given Tom Brady trouble in the past. So I have
no I have no stake in the game, but I
think the Eagles are gonna win. I don't think the
Patriots defenses is great, let alone, not sure it's all
that good. And I think the Eagles defense is nasty

(01:55):
and like look like one of the things that we've
had this year is we've had so many teams we
about the a f C playoffs. Chargers should have been there,
probably Houston should have been there. J j Wie, Deshaun
Watson didn't get hurt. The Patriots probably should have lost
to Pittsburgh if not for the catch ruling against Jesse James.
And if all those things happened, we probably have different

(02:15):
teams here. Now. You may not like the ifs and
and butts. It only points out that the Eagles, though
they lost Carson Wentz, they're the best team in the
NFC most the entire season, and because of that, I
like the Eagles. I think this one reminds me of
the Super Bowl with Peyton Manning against the Seahawks in
New York. Everybody talked about the greatness of Peyton and
no one's taken away from that, but that's Seahawks defense.

(02:38):
I believe it was the poet laureate Marshawn Lynch who said,
we got some dogs. They had some dogs. They dominated
that game. I don't know if it'd be that level
of dominance, but I'm picking the Eagles. Let's sell welcome
in one of the great running backs in the National
Football League, a guy who everybody's gonna be talking about
in the offseason because of the contract situation, because of

(02:58):
the offensive coaching chain, assuming that Pittsburgh won't let him go.
Lady On Bell joins us here on the Doug Golla Show.
You do man, I'm feel good? How are you good? Um?
What's it like to get the respect and the love
from everybody? Like? It's look, it's one thing to get
it on the fields. The whole other thing. When you
have the players, agents, fans, radio, row and you walk

(03:18):
in and get the type of money. It's amazing. You know,
as a as a kid, you know, you kind of
never really you know, really realize that you can do it.
You know what I mean. You kind of say it.
I always dreamt about it, but you know the fact
that has actually happened and I'm living it. You know,
it's amazing. You know, just interacted with the fans, the
players that you play against, and you know they respect
you to interpect your game. Um, just getting to norm
off the field is amazing. How are you gonna lose

(03:39):
with the Jaguars? Dude? Come on man, all right, look man,
the Jaguars was a good team, you know what I mean. Um,
obviously we didn't play our best game. Um, I don't
think we played a good second half. We played second half.
Explained to me this, Okay, you first half Cleveland Brown's
first game of the season, Indianapolis Cults. You picked the
game and it was like it was almost like of

(04:00):
the guy who goes like, all right, we'll go to ten,
I'll spot you five. That was kind of like you
guys had so much talent and yet so often times
you get off the sluggish start. Is that I don't know, man,
maybe maybe you know, it might have been a little
bit of the offense, maybe a little bit of defense.
I think for us that switch up at the off
the coordinator, uh, that that I hope, we hope without

(04:21):
a lot. It's not taking away from Todd and what
he's done for us, but I just think that switch
up a wrinkle or something that may have you know,
in better situations better um you know, positions to make
make plays and things like that make it easier on
me or a b perfect example is and like, look,
Todd Haley is a well regarded offensive coordinating right, but

(04:42):
didn't you guys starting empty against against Jacksonville, right, Like
I mean so, I mean, like, look again, I'm not
saying I know more about football than Todd Hay. I
know that I know that when they've gotten you like
this is not rocking science, right that was might say,
like football the simple game, and it's so simple because

(05:02):
Jacksonville Jacksonville figure that out, Like we're gonna run the
football and then eventually, when they over commit to running,
we're gonna run some play actions exactly and worst case
scenarios say you get stopped three straight times, that's okay,
you punt and you get it over your defense. He
played fuel position football. Yes, so so, um so you
do get the sense that that's that the coordinator change.

(05:24):
And they talked to you about it, they said, this
is what this is what we're kind of looking for,
is what's gonna change. Well, I mean I was at
the pro bo with Randy, you know, and he gave
me a whole bunch of you know, different things and
situations and how they're gonna use me and what he's
planning on for next year. And I'm excited about it,
you know. So, and I know Randy's the quarterbacks coach
before he was O C. And I love Randy. You know,
he has a good camarade with everybody in the locker room.

(05:46):
Everybody loves Randy and respect him. So, um he's a
great you know pick for the office, the coordinator and
you know, I'm excited for Okay, so they're gonna tag
you at I hope not. I mean it it's guaranteed money.
It is guaranteed money. But you know I need some
long time, um you know security. That's that's that's the
biggest thing about contracts. You wanna get a long term

(06:06):
deal with a nice guaranteed money. So when you say
something do happen like look, you said, look you got
hitting the knee, like anything happened, hit in the knee,
and and and then you went over and you tested
it. It It was middle of the season you went and
tested and yeah, I'm sure you had to be freaking out. Yeah,
you know what I'm saying. And the thing about it
is like at any moment, like you may not be
the same player anymore. Okay, So can I give you

(06:28):
the Devil's advocate? What what people will say when you
say I think I should get a long term deal,
They'll say, look, man been injured and he's been suspended. Yeah, absolutely, okay,
So so why would why should the Steelers invest long
term and a guy who's now getting up for twenties
and has been injured spending what's the counter to that?
Because the Steelers know what type of person I am. Yeah,

(06:50):
the suspensions happened, and the second suspension they know exactly happen,
and it's a lot of things that it shouldn't have happened.
And the Steels understand that they were behind the scene everything,
so they know exactly what's going on. Um the injuries,
freaky injuries, you know, a little a little weird stuff,
but they understand what type of player. I yeam and
I'm a different type player even even with all the

(07:11):
injury suspensions. Now I'm the number one player after five
years in screaming yards. All right. So ever, so do you, uh,
do you sit training camp if they if they franchise Taggy,
do you because i mean, you know, somebody asked you
once you thought about retirement, you said to think about it.
You do know what I'm saying. You know I'm saying, Uh,
if they tag me training camp, I'll see you one maybe.

(07:34):
But but that that sets you back, or at least
they didn't give you the ball as much in the
season because they just didn't give you the ball. But
like I came in out of shape, I was ready.
They I mean, they want to give me the ball,
you know, six or seven times against the Browns because
they know it's the Browns. That's what it is. It
is what it is. But I'm going out there a
long as I finished. See the healthy. I'm good. Help
me out with the Patriots. Um, the defense is ben

(07:56):
but doesn't but don't break. Now they have allowed you know,
up until uh their last game, they a lot the
fewest uh but fifth fewest h but fewest points in
the in the league since the week five, right, so
they've they've been better. But it's the defense good or
it's just they just don't make mistakes. That's what it is.
They play real disciplined football. They don't get out of gaps,

(08:16):
want to play, you know, play opportunity presents itself, they
make the play. But you know the reason why they're
so good because they're not gonna go out of the
gap and try to be greedy and try to make
a tackle if there if it's not their tackle, it's
not their gap. They didn't worry about making that tackle.
You know, you've got guys in the league who's individual
guys who like worry about making every tackle. You want
a guy who had heard fifty tackles over the course
of the year. They have no guys like that. They

(08:36):
go out there and play sigmon football and that's what
make those all good. Um, what about Brady in that
offense against this Eagles defense? Eagles defense pretty nasty, isn't yeah. Yeah,
their front their front seven is really well. I think
the Eagles can win if they don't let the Pages
get a run game going, if they just have to
sit back and the Patriots just got the past with
Tom Brady five wide, the Eagles gonna rush four. They're
gonna play man to man and put personal time Brady,

(08:59):
before you came, it's Tom Brady at all. You gotta
literally play man a man, no, not so physical too, right, Yeah,
you gotta play man a man, not zone and rush
four and your four have to get personal time, Brady,
not blitz anybody. You gotta just rush four and play coverage.
Uh so who are you picking? Man? Look, I know
the Eagles are so good. Eagles, amazing team. They've been

(09:20):
good all year. Um, it's just so hard for me
to pick against Tom Brady. Man, it's just so hard
to do it. Like, um, so I'm gonna go and
go to go with the Pagriots. You're gonna started eating
avocado ice cream and stop lifting weights and start stretching
all the time. That's his deal, right, He's like he's
all about flexibility and diet and sleep. I mean yeah,
I mean, I guess it's working for he's also a

(09:42):
position where you can get away with that, right. I mean,

point where I actually went on the date and uh,
this girl kind of talked me into it. You know,
but what's your name? Name? Why was it date? Then?
Not a date? Now? Yeah, but I don't want to
say that name. You canna mess up on other dates. Man,

Doot doot doot do do Doom doom doom doo't um.
His career was as stellar as anyone's career coming from
college to the pros as you could possibly be, right, um,
a guy who gets hurt in college and then rises

(15:59):
to become a high it's been trophy winner. Then, of
course the Redskins trade up in the draft to take
him number two overall. He starts right away, they craft
an offense around him. He leads the Redskins to the playoffs,
and of course you remember him playing on a bad
wheel in the playoffs. But since then it's been tough
sledding a couple of different teams and now RG three.
Robert Griffin the Third joins us on the set here

(16:21):
at Radio Row at the side of the Super Bowl.
How you doing, man, I'm doing great. How you doing good? Man?
You got your baby? Yes, what's happen? Looks just like
her mom. She's seven months old. She's sleeping a little
better at night, but uh, you know, we're still having
to wake up pretty often. But it's a blessing. And
you know, she's got an older sister too. I got
two beautiful baby girls that I get an opportunity to
to raise every single day. And that's a lifetime job

(16:43):
and I'm I'm blessed to be able to have it all. Right,
So um, let's just let's just get the the my
career as of now. You're going to camp? You are
you done? Like, what do you want to what do
you want to do? I know, you know you feel
like you have football in you. What's your game plan? Yeah?
I think God's blessed me with an ability and a
talent to be able to showcase and have a platform

(17:03):
and and just the ability to inspire men. Uh and
I think I've been able to showcase that. So um,
my plan. I moved to Orlando just recently. Um, I'm
getting ready to marry my soul mate. Uh. Football wise,
I've spent the entire year making sure my body is healthy,
my mind and healthy, that I get back the explosiveness
that I had from my my rookie season. And Uh,

(17:24):
that's what I've been laser focused on, is just making
sure that when my opportunity comes, I'm ready to go. Uh.
It's not just something that you say. It's when you
get that call and they say, hey, we want you
to come work out. Hey, we want you to do this,
We want to do that. You can do it and
show them, Hey, give me an opportunity to compete, and
I'll make you right. What what went so wrong in
d C? Because because you know it's I want to

(17:45):
get to your tweet earlier about about about the trade
this week, which is hilarious. But there there's some similarities
there with Kirk and with you in that like, man,
it sure feels like this should be working out, and
it didn't work out with him, but that's it kind
of it's different, but the same when it was with
you where there was leaks about how you were perceived
and what the reality of you. What what's so wrong

(18:07):
with you in in DC? What you get this? I
get this question all the time, and I feel like
I've answered every time. But now it's time for me
not to answer those questions anymore. Um. You know, the
one thing I will say about d C is the
people who have to realize I'll always be connected to Washington.
I was drafted there, who went to the playoffs in
my first year? Um didn't. Things didn't go quite as
well down the stretch, and then change of coaches and

(18:28):
all these things happened. But I'm always gonna root for
the rest Kings. I'm always gonna be a fan, and
I'm always gonna be a part of it. So I
love him, I wish him the best, but I'm not
gonna continue to answer those questions about what went wrong
there because I don't want that to define define my career.
I want to be able to go out and UH
get it with a team, grow with a coach, grow
with the team, and UH be able to showcase said, hey,

(18:49):
I'm in this for the long haul. Fair Enough. Um, Okay,
how about this? Is there if you could is there
something you could change, If there's something you could do
different or do better, it would it be Yeah, I'm mean, uh,
obviously i'd still be there if if I if I
would have had those answers then, But um, I think
as a player, there was nothing that was gonna prepare

(19:09):
me for for what ended up happening in d C.
And I wasn't ready to handle what happened in d
C from a negative standpoint. Um, And I think that's
what I learned the most, just how to handle certain
situations and not not make them worse, not compound those situations.
But uh, that's part of growth, that's part of maturing
in the NFL, and and giving yourself an opportunity to

(19:30):
to have more opportunities. It's also I think fair to
say that you're a a victim in many ways, not
just have your own success, but also of kind of
what we do as a society, Right, Like we celebrated
your emergence as a superstar in college, and then we
find as many any flaw we can find to kind
of bring you back down like that. That's the same

(19:50):
with so many different players, right. That's and I don't
know if it's I would say from your perspective, you'd
probably say that's media driven. But I think the media
also is a reflection people, right, That's how people sometimes
they It's not that they don't want people succeed, it's
that when people succeed, they want to feel as though
they're on They're as flawed as superstars are flawed. But

(20:11):
what's that like emotionally to hit Like like you're not blind,
deaf or dumb, and you're like, look, wait, just last
week you were telling me I was the greatest thing ever,
and now dudes are taking shots emotionally? How how does that?
How do you process? Yeah? I think it just you
have to have thick skin when it comes to I
think our world is inherently negative. Right. If you see
a good story on TV about someone donating the charity

(20:34):
or saving kittens, uh, it doesn't spark your interests as
much as hearing about somebody doing something bad. They're making
fun of somebody, or you know, someone gets hurt and
now you've got all these pictures about them while they're injured.
That that tends to get more attention than the good stuff.
So I think as a player, the only time it
gets to you is when you quit. Right that some

(20:56):
people say you win and you learn. You know, it's
it's the old cliche, but feel like you really only
lose when you quit. And I think that's the one
thing that's sitting out of football. This entire year showed
me that there's no quit in me. God built me
and and bless me in a way with with great parents,
great foundation, and great people around me that there is
no quit. So even when it doesn't look good, you

(21:17):
still gotta push through because you never know when that
opportunity is gonna come. So I'll be ready. So did
you did you watch? Is it like when you're not
playing football and you're out of it, you watch as
much as you've always watched or was it? Was it
hard and you're like I can't this Sunday I can't
turn the TV. Yeah, I mean I feel like when
you're not in, when you're not playing, you have to
watch um because when you're playing, you don't have the time,

(21:37):
but when you're when you're not playing, you kind of
do have the time. But what I tried to do
with schedule my schedule for the offseason, working outlifting, watching
film as if I was playing, so that when I
got into it, it wouldn't be a shock to my system.
So I continue to study the film, I continue to
do the workouts just to prepare for my opportunity. And
I think that's made me, uh, you know, realize a
lot of things when it comes to the game and

(21:59):
just seeing how the game is reverting back a couple
of years to how things were being run when I
was Shaun Watson right, Like, all they did with Deshaun
Watson was like, hey, let's run that stuff that they
ran with r G three and he took over the league.
It's crazy because they tried to make put you square
peg into the round hole of the traditional West Coast

(22:20):
style quarterback. Meanwhile, the rest of the league's like, hey,
we should do these r I mean, that's what change
with Nick Foles. They start running these rpt're like wait wait, wait,
wait wait, you're doing what they told me I couldn't do.
So I was able to watch that throughout the course
of the season. I'm saying to myself, man, you know,
if the league is going back that direction, that is
a big opportunity for me to get back in and
be able to help a team win games where this

(22:40):
compete as QB one come in solidified QB two and
or help some of these young guys that are walking
around and not make the same mistakes that I made.
But at the end of the day, I want to
get in with the team. I want to be able
to compete, grow with the coach, grow with the team,
and just prove it every single day. Robert Griffin, the
Third Man, Great to see you, Great to know that
you're still fighting. Can't wait to see what the next
step bring Man should be. It should be really really cool. Obviously,

Um boy, what a special second season. This guy had
hundred yards, eight touchdowns, only seven interceptions and this after
the first year which people they were bailing, they thought
he was a bust um. He's Jared Goff of the

(26:15):
l A. Rams. He joins me on the Doug Gottlieb
Show on Fox Sports Radio. And Jared, you know, confidence
is such a huge part of having success in the NFL.
How much do you think that first game against the Colts,
how much do you think that kind of propelled you
guys confidence wise to have the season you had. Yeah,
it was it was a good it was a good game.
It was a good start. You know, we didn't get
to play them without Andrew, which definitely helps. But uh,

(26:37):
you know, we played well. We we executed, we execute
on defense, we executed on special teams, and we executed
on offense. So when you do all those three things,
most time you win. And uh that thing like they
we did. How much does you want to like go
around TV channel the TV channel? Don't when you start
when you start winning and you I mean, like, I
really don't, I really don't. I just I have fun
with it now. I think it's it's kind of funny

(26:58):
to see the reactions of some people. But I've always,
you know, believe in myself. But I know there's plenty
of people who haven't, and I know that'll probably continue
the rest of my career. And just something that I
got a good experience of dealing with. Was there ever
a moment to which you didn't like in the first year? Never,
there wasn't any oh my gosh, this might I might
not be what I think I was, but I think
am I didn't. Where does that come from? How do

(27:19):
you maintain when when everyone is saying, oh my gosh,
they that this might not work. How did you maintain
your focus and your confidence. We'll try to not pay
attention to any of that, because, um, they're not in
the building. They don't you know, see what's what's going
on or any of that. So just try to remain confident.
I know what I've done my whole life. I played

(27:39):
football my whole life. I played I think pretty well
my whole life. Um, you know, just try to try
to get back to that. And I was lucky enough
to get some good pieces around me this year, and um,
grow grow in this offense, and grow and mature and
continue to get better and hopefully, you know, keep keep
trending in that direction. Jered Goff joining us in the
Dug Gottlieb Show here on Fox Sports Radio. Last year,

(28:00):
this time you sat down, we talked a little bitbout
Sean McVeigh. You said you're excited. UM, give me at
least one thing that kind of surprised you. But you know,
either surprised you about McVeigh that you didn't know when
you first your first couple of days, first couple of
weeks working together. Um, who I think. I think how

(28:20):
intense he is on game day because you know, he
comes on the radio shows, he's very calm, cool and collected,
and you know, very meticulous and throughout the week years
as well, and then on game day he is a
different dude, and he is a competitive, competitive guy and
very intense and a lot of fun to play for. Um,
what about you? Uh this this this year obviously you

(28:43):
blew up and UM, you know your offense kind of
took over that division. What's next for you? What's the
next step that you look at yourself and even though
you're confident, you never lost your confidence when things were bad.
You're also not an arrogant dude. You know you gotta
get better. What what's the what's the next step for uh?
Just continue to get better. I don't know if I
can put my finger on one thing. I just want

(29:04):
to continue to be the best quarterback I can be,
be the best leader I can be, continue to get
better in those aspects, and continue to try to be
trying to help our team win. I think that's ultimately
what you do as a quarterback is you're the facilitator
of winning. Is is kind of what you try to do.
You know, I've got Todd behind me, I got so
many good whiteouts, We've got a good line. Just try
to get the ball to them and continue to elevate

(29:24):
my game mentally and physically. And UM, trend in that direction.
You know, as long as I keep doing my thing,
hopefully everyone else is as well, and we'll we'll be
ready to go next year. All right. The Falcons came
in and jumped down in the playoffs, and they're a
team that's experienced in the playoffs. And look, it's no
different than high school Playoffs are played at a higher
level than regular high school football. College the college football
playoffs or college football intense bowl games are played at

(29:47):
a higher level. What what what would you learn? Would
you take from that experience that the heightened uh intensity
of the playoffs taught you for the future. I think
you take away from it like you do any other
big game. I think you kind of get that experience
in that atmosphere which we which we did have a
few of in the regular season, But it is different
the playoffs. You you realize, you know, this is the

(30:09):
last game for both teams. You can't. You got treat
it that way. You know where you're this is your
last game and if you when you move on. If
you don't, you don't. And um, I think getting that
experience of being in that atmosphere and in that environment
and in that mindset of this is a winner go
home game? Is is uh good for us moving forward? Um?
What when you see Brady as as a quarterback? What

(30:29):
do you marve? What? What do you say? Man, I,
by the time I'm done, I want to be able
to do this like he does. How accurate he is
is unbelievable. I mean, he's obviously forty, so he's that's
unbelievable in itself. But I think his ability to stay
at that high level of accuracy of puts the ball

(30:50):
exactly where he wants? Does that come from? What does
that come from his footwork being consistent? Does it come
from his his throwing being consistent? Because because when I've
seen you a couple of times, Um, there's been a
couple of times where your where your feet, You don't
get to feet, your feet exactly where you want? Right
when when anybody, when there's somebody and if your feet
is not gonna be the same? Is that? How does
he I'm I'm marveled at it as well, right, Like,

(31:11):
how do you maintain the same level accuracy as you
age and your arm strength is going to change a
little bit? Is it the feet? Is it the hands?
What is it? I don't know. I think he's he
works his ass off, he he does his he does
it all he does in the off season, and um,
I hear him say all the time he wants to
be as long as he's continuing to help the team win,
he's gonna continue to play. And I think he's just
gonna do that for a little while longer you can

(31:32):
start pounding avocado shakes. I don't know. I I'm a
big fan of his and what he does, and I
think ultimately what he does in the off season, all
the work he puts in allows him to stay at
that level one. Um, he's an awesome guy to watch
and I'm glad to be in the league at the
same time as him and somebody that I can say
I played against. Your favorite win of the year was
what uh New Orleans at home? Why? Because there were

(31:56):
nine game winning street coming into our place. We had
just lost him Minnesota on the ode tough one, came
back home, pulled out a hard one. This or Tennessee.
The clincher was fun too. Tennessee was that was a
tough game at Tennessee, a little little weather. Um you
didn't say Seattle, I didn't, I didn't. I don't know.
I didn't. I didn't. I didn't have too much of

(32:17):
a role on that one. I just kind of handed
off to Todd. He went for about two fifties. Still
still though, it was a sweet one. Yeah, it was fun.
I know, I'm I'm no, It's like, I'm not trying
to put words in your mouth. I'm just I'm interested
in You mentioned playing in Minnesota. This is a tough
place to play. I know the Vikings aren't playing here,
but it's pretty sick stadium. It was one of my favorites,
one of my favorites. Great atmosphere, great fans, loud as hell, awesome,

(32:39):
awesome stadium architecture. All that's awesome. Yeah, but you don't
do you do you actually get a chance to take
that in when you're playing. You're just like football field.
I tried a pre game, you know, especially the new stadiums,
and with me being young in my career, I try
to if it's in stadium, I haven't played that at
you know, I try to look around and see how
it is, you know, take it in. Played at Lambeau
this year in the preseason game four the preseason I
wasn't I wasn't playing, so I got to really take

(33:00):
it in. Yeah, kind of sit there and look around.
It's unbelievable. They have sold it out for a preseason game,
preseason number four, I know. And and they're they're all,
I mean, just drinking out there and they're it's it's
it's it's so nice, all of them. They are nice.
It's so not California right in that California. Don't think
people people aren't like New York. There's the people can
be nice. People could be nasty. California. I don't think
they're not necessarily not nice. There's an urgency about everything though. Yes,

(33:23):
it's it's it's it needs to be done done quickly. Um.
All right, you're a Wild Wings guy. You're here with
Buffalo Wild Wings. What's your style of wing man? Mild traditional,
little buffalo sauce. I like Buffalo. I like Buffalo Uh,
dipping in some ranch. If you can't make it into
the store, you can order online at Buffalo wol Wings
dot com or you can call it. But I'll be
in the store. Oh, I'm a I'm a dry guy,

(33:44):
like I like their dry right, the dry rubs. Yeah, sure,
there's the salt and vinegar is really good. Sure, but
there's also like a Chipotle type deal or something kind
of spicy dry one. There's a honey barbecue too, if
you like that. Yeah, that's like that's that's that's wet.
Don't I like the dryness because I also don't like
going through my hands and like everything sticks when your

(34:04):
wife on the napkins, it's like everywhere, and I'm gonna
get it everywhere. Guy, my wife can't take me anywhere.
If I'm eating wings, I'm eating you know, so you
get twelve piece wings, I'm eating them all without touching
my face and then I'll clean up. Did you see
this number that Buffalo wowings so pame point five million
wings on Sunday last year. That's crazy, Like thinking about
how many pounds of wings that is? Um? Are you

(34:26):
like me? Do you have less respect for people who
order the boneless wings? Right? Like if you're yeah, no,
I go bone. You can't do that. Boneless is just
like a chicken nugget. Yeah, that's like, huh, chicken nugget.
That's exactly what it is. Now. It's still tastes good,
but it's not a wing. You need a wing to
be a wing. Okay, give me the one big thing
you're gonna do in this offseason non football? Who uh

(34:51):

Psychic psychic, Well you should have known your psychic alright.

(36:42):
Psychic psychic is super Bowl related? Okay. A lot of
questions for the psychic about Super Bowl fifty two, such
as the Philadelphia Eagles are the road team, they will
get to call the coin toss. Will the Eagles call
head or tails? People always do tails, never fails, but
I think you should call heads. Uh, they'll call it tails.

(37:05):
Tails never fails. Okay. So then what will the coin
toss me? Head's okay, so the Patriots will They'll choose
and they'll defer. According to my guests, who throws the
first touchdown pass in Super Bowl fifty two on Sunday? Uh? Boy,
I would love it to be a non quarterback, right,
that would be a really good prop pet. Danny Amondola

(37:26):
obviously don't have Edelman. Who's did you know Danny Edelman
was a quarterback? Um, I'm gonna go with Tom Brady.
I think it's gonna be the opposite of Super Bowls
in the past, where they actually get off to a
relatively fast start. Okay, Then the question is if he's
throwing the first touchdown pass, who scores the first touchdown?
Could be the person who catches that pass, could be
a run who actually scores the first touchdown? Who scores

(37:50):
the first touchdown? Uh? These are all prop bits, by
the way that you can get in Las Vegas. I'm
gonna go with le Garrett Blunt scores first Alright, alright,
La Garrett Blunt on the ground against his former team.
This is something that's uh near and dear to my heart. Doug.
You know, in the Super Bowl they'll have one end
zone that says Eagles it's gonna be painted in green,
and the other one that says Patriots painted in navy blue.

(38:12):
When the Garrett Blunt scores that first touchdown, will it
be in the green painted Eagles end zone or the
blue painted Patriots end zone? I'm gonna go with the green,
green and green zone. A little sharper, Can I just
point out the Patriots have a terrible helmet. Yes, absolutely,
like bottom five helmet in the NFL flying Elvis. I

(38:35):
mean that's not that's not it's not a great helmet.
That's the see pat The Patriot is such a good logo.
The problem is is it's very difficult to be duplicated
because of all of the details on it. I wish
they would go back as well. What about this Eagle's helmet?
Do you like the new the new Eagles helmet can't
go wrong with the wings in the side. No, it's
just updated from you know, past versions. Yeah, I like

(38:58):
it fine. I don't mind the kelly green, the you know,
the brighter green that they would have the more of
the Irish looking instead of the deeper, the deeper. I
like the deeper green. Okay, Well, who gets the first
turnover in Super Bowl fifty two Eagles defense. Yeah, I
can see that fumble. Maybe a sack of Brady stripped
him with the ball. Oh, this is an interesting one.

(39:18):
How many special guest special guests will appear with Justin
timber Lake during the halftime show. Well, we know Jane
Jackson won't be there, that's true. That's true. If in
Sync shows up, that's four guests. So you could have
if there's an I don't think I don't think in Sync.
I don't think Chris Chris Kilpatrick will be there. We
can I can text Kilpatrick find out if he's doing it. Um,

(39:42):
it's good. I actually like if he's funny, funny dude. Um,
I would love some Jason too special guests. Yeah, I
think so too. I think that there'll be somebody that
we Oh wow, they're getting back to NBC. It's an
NBC UM NBC super Bowl. Correct, Yes, so Failing is
gonna be on there. Oh that's a really good point, right,

(40:06):
I hope not. He's doing his show from Minneapolis. I
bet he's gonna I'm gonna go three. Then, Okay, what
running back has the most total yards from scrimmage? Rushing
and receiving combined in this game. You've got La Garrettlant,
You've got Dion Lewis, James White, J G I E. N. Back. Yeah.

(40:27):
I think he's played a little bit more of a
role in the running game for the Patriots this year.
And even though Rex Burkhead could be used at the
goal line, Dion Lewis is a guy who can rack
up the yards. Okay, final two. What does Bill Belichick
where as a top tomorrow? Will it be nothing? Nothing? Nothing?
He's gonna he's going out. He's going out commando on

(40:48):
top sand's shirt. Yes, that would be amazing. What's gonna? Well?
I think that there's times where he's more than windbreakers,
like it just a short sleeve windbreaker top. Be funny
to wear a wind break in the dome. Well, because
you never know you're gonna wear a hoodie, he'll wear
a gray hoodie. Maybe Matt Patricia breaks wind and he'll

(41:11):
need it. Finally, will this be the last Super Bowl
call for Al Michaels? Yeah? Yes, yes, this is game
time on the duck Gotliep show. How many chicken sandwiches
not I need to buy you to get you to

(41:32):
get me a Chick fil a sandwich. I just had
it an hour ago. Um, you didn't go like, hey, man,
can you want you want to chicken? You want a
chicken sandwich. We're live at the super Bowl actually the
food Court, the Mall of America. Baker Mayfield, Sean Payton.
Next hour on the Dug Gottlieb Show, One off Doug
Gotlip Show, Fox Sports Radio. Brought you by Black Rifle Coffee.

(41:56):
Veteran owned, Veteran roasted. There's a Black Rifle Coffee. Dot
Com today used the code Fox Sports twenty Fox Sports
Off your first order. All right, let's get back after man,
we got a great Sean Payton's wayde good with Sean
Payton in a moment um. First, so let's catch up
with the dude who just won the Heisman Trophy. Potentially

(42:18):
a first round draft pick, and he is, without any question,
the most polarizing prospect in the NFL draft. He's Baker
Mayfield from Oklahoma. He joins me in the Doug Gotlieve
Show on Fox Sports. Tradeo. We'll talk about Oklahoma and
getting ready for the draft. Take me back your time
at Texas Tech. Um. There's there's like a misconception of

(42:39):
who was in the quarterback room when you were there
as the starter. What was that quarterback room like when
you were there? Everybody gets it confused, though Pat actually
was not there when I was. He got in right
after it. So we had Michael Brewer, uh, Davis web
and I and then you leave and then Mahomes Mahomes
comes in and and uh, I mean, like, look, it's

(43:01):
it's a well spring of quarterback talent. Obviously, you make
your way to Oklahoma. The greatest stat and I told
I'm not gonna tell you who it was at an
NFL coach up here and he goes, Man, I like
that Baker Mayfield, And I said, the greatest that I've
ever heard. You did not lose a true road game
in Oklahoma. Um, what tell me about your mentality? Because
I think people see how fired up do you get

(43:22):
on the sideline, and um, you know the references. They
want to want to make you into Manzell, They want
to make you into something. What is it that you
do in your preparation and in your play that's allowed
you to be so successful in the road, which is
college football, even maybe more so in the NFL. The
hardest place to win. I Uh, it's a mindset, it's preparation.

(43:43):
You carry yourself with a driven mindset that I want
it more than anybody else, that I'll do anything, anything,
whatever it takes. And so but going on the road,
I love it. Going into somebody else's house. Being able
to have the power to silence a crowd of close
to a hundred thousand is a is a good feeling.
So m you gotta you gotta want it. You gotta
be able to execute on the road. You gotta be

(44:03):
able to block out the extra noise on the outside.
So it's a it's a few things that come into play.
How can you be the best version of yourself and
yet you know, NFL guys you'd be like, hey man,
you can't do that stuff. You can't do that jumping
up around and going crazy and head button dudes in
the NFL, like nobody does that. How can you be
you and yet fit into the style of what I

(44:24):
guess NFL quarterbacks you're supposed to be. Ah, well, I'm
not gonna conform to anything. And there's things I can
you know, draw the line and not do absolutely. But
at the same time, if I didn't have passion for
the game, I wouldn't be playing it, and if I
was playing without it, I wouldn't be myself. So I'm
gonna stick to what's gotten me here, playing a trip
on my shoulder, you know, making other guys around me better,

(44:44):
pushing them to be better, and uh, you know, being
a fire guy on the sideline. How how do you
how do you go from a walk on in two
different Big twelve schools to being a Heisman Trophy final
there's two times and a Heisman Trophy winner and competing
for a national champion. Like how what? What has have
you changed? Like? What what they'll happen? How does that happen? No,
that's I've had the same mindset the whole time. And

(45:04):
it's kind of like what I said about road games.
You gotta one it more than everybody else. When when
nobody's watching, what are you doing? And so, uh, everybody's
seen the stuff on camera, they've seen I got three
years of tape. But the stuff that's gotten me here,
the reason I have success is because of what's happened
behind the scenes, Like what just work ethic? You know,
I put in an extra hours. How I carry myself

(45:25):
around my teammates, how I pushed them to be better.
Just demand excellence overall. Okay, so, uh six ft and
three quarters um, which is bigger than you know, Russell Wilson.
Some people want to say Russell Wilson. Some people want
to say Drew Brees. Some people want to say case
keenum Um because it's the air raid offense. Some people
want to say, man Sell Um, you know you better

(45:47):
than anybody else knows you. Who do you think you're
most like? I think I have a little bit of
everything when it when it comes to uh, picking and
choosing from some of these guys. And that's what I
try to do. You know what. I would have to
have the pocket presence and the accuracy of Breeze. I'd
love to have the mobility and the escape part of
Russell Wilson's game. Uh, the command that that all those

(46:08):
guys have, Tom Brady, and it's just kind of the
electrifying stuff of Rogers. I would love to have a
combination all those. And so that's what I think is
unique about me is I don't necessarily have one trait
that's better than the others. I think I try and
you know, be a complete guy. How the Senior Bowl. Go.
It was really good. It went really well for me.
Got to you know, sit in front of some of
those teams, some of those g ms, and uh, you know,

(46:30):
address the stuff that happened in the past year, the arrest,
the Ohio State, the flag plant, and the Kansas situation.
So I was able to address a lot of stuff.
So going forward, I'll be able to talk about ball.
I love the flag plant. I don't get it like
I love it every and and then you know, you
guys give you by I always staying iwa was state
flax plant plants facts like you know, all right, that's
kind of cared about that one. Nobody cared about that one, right,
But I love I love the flag plant. I thought

(46:52):
the whole thing with the arrest, I thought it was like, dude,
like maybe you didn't have SEC escapability? Is that is that?
Is that that? The issue is that what happened? Right?
That's the big thing is if you're an SEC, dude,
they well you would have alluded before Georgia I was
undefeated against the SEC. That's that's that's very true. How
how how do you how do you process that? Because

(47:13):
you're such a competitive dude, you got to the college
while playoff twice. Any guys couldn't couldn't get over the
couldn't get over the hump. How do you how do
you process all the things you personally succeeded in and
frankly your team succeeded and win in the Big twelve.
You know when Lincoln Riley first first year head coach,
but you couldn't win a national championship? How do you
process that? We had a great year, but uh, yeah,
the Heisman, all the individual stuff was was very nice.

(47:35):
But I didn't come back to win any of that.
I came back my senior year to win the national title.
So that's something that's gonna haunt me for the rest
of my life. We got close. But the thing is,
I will say we had such a special team and
I wouldn't trade any of those guys. We went through
a lot together, the coaching changed. Like you said, having
linked his first year, um something I'll be forever grateful
for having uh played for him and his first year

(47:56):
as a head coach, and just a group of guys.
The way we you know, came together, had great in
chemistry is something I always cherish. All Right, you're here
with Panini, which is the officially licensed collectibles. So do
you have your own bobble head? What do you got with?
What do they what do they make up for? You know,
I cam to announce that I've signed an autograph trading
card deal, uh, and so I'll have obviously the classic
is the Sooner's jersey, and then after the draft will

(48:17):
be able to have whatever NFL team I'm on have
those trading cards. And so it's an exciting thing for me,
like the kid growing up, right, you with your own
autograph on it now? So um like you had to
at some point, like in high school. You're working on
your autograph right, absolutely now? So have you changed it
and tinker with it here during your time? I know
you if you took my high school signature and now,

(48:39):
oh absolutely, it's so much better now. Not that it's
I'm still working on it's still trying to perfect the craft,
but uh yeah, I know it's something I had to
work on. Okay, all right, now, can you do it
like blindly? And do you do that? Is there is
there a difference between the ones you care about and
the ones you're like some dude stops you when you're
at the urinal, you know, somewhere normally like, uh, here
is it? There's a difference in those two signatures. Is

(48:59):
there is the difference. There's a lot of difference of
personalizing message to being able to make sure I'm you know,
using my my handwriting that I was taught in elementary
school and then uh, let make sure it looks nice,
you know, because there's there's a difference, and like you said,
scribbling one out real quick and then being able to
sit down first, stay in for the game, going home,
going home. Aren't you going to Cali though? Right? Were

(49:20):
going back to train? Yeah? Okay, because you know, the
weather is just a little bit better where you've been
training than it is than it is in the Twin Cities.
I went from eighty to negative eight. I mean, it's
it's crazy. I just it sounded like a good idea,
like Minnesota, a great new stadium, like yeah, yeah, yeah,
le's do it. They're like, oh my god, it's really cold.
It's really and it's been cold in Oklahoma's you know,
there's winter has been like ridiculous. We actually haven't been back.

(49:43):
It's a good decision. We went back for around the
holidays and we were like check please get get me
back out getting back out of the seven one for
the nine four nine. Again that's uh. Pannini the officially
licensed collectibles UM and of course Panini has pop warners skills.
Did you play popcorner growing up? When did you start playing?
Fifth grade? Was my first year? So always quarterback? Always,

(50:06):
so I played baseball. Is huge baseball guy. That was
That was my true sports second or short? What short
and third? And so playing in Lake Travis community the uh,
some of the coaches that did the popcorner draft, whatever
you wanna call it. I knew that I could throw
the ball, so they drafted me to play quarterback. That
was my my first year. Do you remember your team
is called We're just like drafts. Wildcats were the there

(50:28):
was a red, black and a white squad. Were the
white squad? How how crazy is that? You got Nick Foles,
who's a like he's Lake Travis, Well he's Westlake, which
is Austin area kind of same Breeze went and then
Breeze went to Westlake as well. Right, you got three
three and none of them played for Texas. I want
to I want to point out that did they asked
you played defensive back. They did not. I was a

He's dead Coach New Orleans Saints resurgence season. I want
to get to it. But coach, how how do you
handle the emotions after the loss the Vikings and meanwhile

(53:07):
kind of process the fact that you had an outstanding
season in the hall? I think the only thing, the
only thing that you can do is let time do that. Uh,
you know immediately the biggest challenge is is just seeing
the game we're at covering today and reach and then
all of a sudden like ah, you know you got

(53:28):
this far up the ladder and and you didn't get
to the NFC Championship game on a final play. Um,
I think the the real positives you fly back and
you regroup, and as a staff, very quickly we start
grading and evaluating our own team. And one of the
one of the things that never really gets discussed a lot.
We go right into free agency, but we'll spend days

(53:50):
on our roster. And the encouraging thing is the amount
of young players that we have coming back. We're a
real young team. In the last two drafts have been
outstanding force. These guys have been playing. So when you
look at a Lattamore, and you look at Ryan Ramcheck
and Marcus Williams and Chimera and anz Alone and Hendrickson.
These are all guys in this year's draft that played

(54:12):
a ton of snaps. Um, so you build on that,
and and you know, guys will get away. Our players
are away for a while now, and that will be important. Uh.
But I think when they come back, uh, there will
be that that sense of urgency, if you will, of
knowing that, hey, let's find a way to play those
games at home too, you know what I mean? And

(54:34):
and I think that, Uh it's exciting. You know. Um,
I left you guys for dead the start of the year.
And I think a lot of us make this mistake
as fans and guys that cover the NFL, if we
take that first month as the gospel. And yet it
seems to have changed. I mean, even look at the
New England Patriots. They lose two games at home in

(54:56):
the first month of the year. Uh. Is it is
it that you I changed something? Or is that because
of the preseason the first month is really more like
the preseason than the season used to Listen, paying attention
to the first month is important, Um, our first two
games were losses, and we knew the next two had

(55:18):
to be different. You know, we were gonna go to
Caroline and go to London to play in Miami, and
that was gonna be the most important because we went
right from Carolina to London. And look, we said it,
and I said it to the players. I said, look,
this two game ron't stretch is going to define our season. Really.
In other words, you can get eliminated in the first month.
I mean, uh, you know we've been where you're recovering

(55:39):
from such a slow start that the minute you get
a little momentum, then you have another setback. Uh, it's
too much to overcome. So fortunately we left it at
two games. But uh, did you change anything? So yeah, yeah,
well we did. We did in a lot of areas.
I mean we came up here in in our first
game in minutes soda, first game of the year, Monday night,

(56:01):
and and really played poor football. Um also kind of
walked into a buzz saw. I mean, like they were
fired up. It's at home. That's a tough place to play.
Sam Bradford played the game of his life. Yeah he did.
And but when you look at it from a coaching perspective.
You know, our two minute defense at the end of
the first half was awful. You know, we give up
a touchdown right before halftime in a close game. When

(56:24):
you're on the road early, you just want to, all right,
make sure you're you're you're matching and and being smart.
So we gave up some chunk plays. We busted coverage
four times, and we started looking closely at what we
were doing and who we were asking to do it
with and and uh and I think Dennison's staff and
collectively offensively the same way. Um, you know. Week two

(56:46):
we played against New England ironically at home and and
didn't fare much better. And I think we really spend
time defensively looking at how do we utilize our talent
and and who needs to be on the field, and
then what we're gonna do with them, and then offensively
trying to figure out that combination. At that time, there
were three running backs and I think, um, you know,

(57:08):
sorting through their roles uh so very quickly. And look
it's cliche, but man, you are ongoing as the year goes,
improving or not. And if you're not, you're probably going
up and down. And very quickly we begin to win
some games, and everyone can talk about confidence, but it
only comes from demonstrated ability. In other words, you have

(57:29):
to do some of these things you're talking about doing
before you can have confidence. And it's amazing. Any good
team that we've seen, any good team that wins ten eleven, twelve,
thirteen games stretches four wins together, five wins together, and
we finally were able to do that. You know, It's
it's been like it's been a five year process of
trying to rebuild this defense, right, I mean, and you've

(57:50):
tried throwing everything at it. Um. I felt like, though,
and you tell me this is unfair. When you won
the Super Bowl, that defense had to take a lot
of chances, how to create a lot of turnovers. Whereas
this one feels like it will last more. It's it
feels more solid that one. It just look if you
you go for a pick or you you don't get it,

(58:10):
that's find Drew is gonna go make it up. Whereas
this one actually got stops three and outs, which I
think shows that you've you've truly rebuilt the defense. Uh inside, now,
is that is that fair? Perceive? I think it is?
And and yet I would say there's some priority positions
in this offseason that we have to to uh to
to address. But but yes, we're younger. Um, I think

(58:32):
that we were a little bit more of a veteran
defense back in O nine and ten and eleven. Uh
And I think we're younger at many of the positions now. Um,
you know, it's still about red zone defense, is still
about your third down numbers. There are a few areas
that UH are end a half, end of game defense
needs to be better, entirely better than it was this
year and and it ended up, you know, costing us

(58:54):
even in the last game. UM. So closing out games
that way, I mean, how many times do we watch
and you watch whatever channel, red zone channel or the
end of game, and they all end in this two
minute drill. You're you're defending one to win or you're
in one to win, and they end that way. The
the the the latter is the exception. You know, you're
up eighteen points in the fourth quarter, it's generally a

(59:18):
score or field goal. And that's what it was against Minnesota. Okay,
let's take me to the Minnesota play. I know how
it works where you see it over and over again,
your eyes and like like you're you're watching the VCR
rewind constantly. Um, is there anything you would have done different? Well,
Marcus is in great position. And look, as a team,

(59:38):
there's three things that lead up to that. First off,
he played outstanding in the game. He's the interception that
that puts us back in at There were two halves
to that game. The first half they controlled. In the
second half, the momentum swung. But we're third and one
offensively before the field goal, and and if we're if
we convert that third and one, then we're gonna center

(59:59):
this ball and take that clock to three seconds. And
so that field goal really ends the game as opposed
to ends the possession with seconds, we give up a
dig twenty yard in cut you know, uh, they take
a time out and then look, he arrives early, Marcus
his imposition, He arrives early, and I know what he's thinking.

(01:00:21):
He's avoiding an interference and obviously you want to play
up and high through the ball. But when he falls
and when he goes to the ground, he actually clips
Ken Crawley. It was like a domino effect. And I
can still remember the Frank o'haris play. I mean, I
can remember watching that game as a kid, and I
can remember certain snap snippets like that, and I think

(01:00:43):
this one, unfortunately, was one that went against you. And uh,
you know, those guys made a big play when they
needed it. But man, it's it's hard when that when
and then the worst part is you gotta send your
p A T unit out. You're all in the locker
room and you gotta that's crazy now, it's I mean,
I can't. I just can't imagine about it. Well, I

(01:01:06):
who do we? Who do we talk? We talked to Stefan.
Stefan was up here yesterday and I and I was
telling him, like or no, it was Rick Spielman and I, you,
Rick and I used to work together at ESPN and
uh and I said, Rick. My wife said, well, they're
not gonna win. And she went, she said, this game
is over. And she goes to get in the shower,
going out for the night. And my kids just happened
to be watching and all of a sudden, you know that,

(01:01:26):
they start running, three little kids, they start running around
the house. They can't believe what just happened. And I just,
you know, my heart goes out because I'm just like,
you know, like kind I hate to see how people
there's a million ways to lose. Again, my dad was
a basketball coach, and he would just say, like, every
time you think you've seen it all, you haven't. There's
just another way to lose the game. I was wont
to heat, so you don't. I've always thought that one

(01:01:48):
of the issues that football coaches, UH talk about now
is so many times guys don't see what they're hitting.
You know, we saw the Chaisier injury. Do you think
that's why he had his head down or do you
think that was more when the picture was taking What
happened is he arrived way too early and then tried
to avoid a hit because he knew it would be
an interference call and in possession would be there, and

(01:02:09):
so uh, it was really not his attempted tackle. It
was almost his attempt to avoid a tackle. And really,
when when you look closely at the situation, anytime you're
in that sideline scenario, it's not hail Mary, but it's sideline.
You want the player in bounds, clock ins and but
you also can go up high through the ball and

(01:02:31):
you're never getting an interference call there and I just think,
you know, in that case, he's arriving early on the
play and he's trying to avoid an interference call. Uh
Drew his said he wants to come back. You guys
obviously want him back, but there's also kind of that
sweet spot. And he's been really well come and said
rightfully so for the last couple of years. How hard
is that discussion gonna be? I think relatively easy. I

(01:02:52):
mean hopefully. I think Mickey and Tom, those guys to
get together and uh, you know when Iron and out
and I say that because they've just done it. We've
we've been here so many other times like where hey,
we're gonna work on this deal and and and so
I think that, uh, that makes it easier. How much
fun is it for you with Kamara in that Joker

(01:03:13):
position where you can just mad scientist it, you can
just well and I can put him out wide here, well,
I can put him in the back. It's really smart,
you know, it's different. I Mean the thing that struck
me in his pro day or in his private workout
we had was how intelligent he picks the game up.
I mean he's very very sharp. He's a bright kid.
You've ever visited with him. He's got a warm smile
to him. He's great to be around. But he can

(01:03:35):
handle some of these satellite positions and sometimes it's not
the case. So he learns exceptionally well. And that that's
what struck me. I remember leaving the workout saying, we
have to draft him. It's it's it's what you did
with Reggie, right, I mean, isn't that to some degree?
And yet I would say, man, there's some things he
does that that just come easier. And like as a
as a receiver, it's it's more not just as a receiver,

(01:03:57):
you know, pick a route, you know, in other words,
the days full of practice, the receivers are doing this,
the running backs are doing this, and then the cross
train positions, we bring the tight ends and a couple
of runners over to do some receiver work and timing wise,
and he can run, you know, the sluggoes and and
he in the Minnesota game, it's you know, we're twenty

(01:04:17):
yard line going in and he runs a little like
you know, stutter stutter rail on Kendricks and you know,
in in just the repertoire, the route tree is broader,
I know, but and for you I have widely been considered,
if not the best, one of the two or three
best play callers in the league for the last twenty years.
To to have that guy as well as all the

(01:04:38):
other guys and have Drew who can still make the
throws and make the plays, it's gotta make it fun, right,
Like it's still you know, it is fun right, like
if you have to win the way like like a
Jacksonville has to win like to where there's just things
we can't do, so we have to be close to
the vest. It allows you to like, all right, what
if we did this, and what if we did that. Listen,
it's third and a half a yard in the fourth

(01:04:59):
quarter and we row the ball to Snead who catches
it and takes a step and then he throws it
across the field in short yardage and there's Camara, I'm
running wide open. And we've got those type of players
to do those type type of things, and we just
miss on the play. But um, but we're gonna be
aggressive that way and and but you need to have
the talent and the playmakers you do that, Um Belichick obviously,

(01:05:22):
same you know, same Tree obviously with you Parcels tree,
and I'm there is something that he's been able to do.
You know, coaches so oftentimes they want to leave a
year early, that is opposed to leave a year late. Right,
they want to get out and make it look like
it's a parade and sending their marching out of town.
But he's been able to stay and be consistent. That's
a really hard thing to do. Um, and you've been

(01:05:44):
able to stay like so many other coaches have. All Right,
it's out, they've lost. My message isn't getting through anymore.
But that's not the case with you. It's not the
case with Belichick. UM. Coach to coach, what what do
you see when you see Belichick's ability to con assistently
be competing for the title? Well, clearly he's the benchmark.
I mean, and I say this watching the episode last

(01:06:07):
night built the Two Bills and and seeing his personality
early in his career. Uh, every one of us in
this league looks if we aren't studying New England as
closely as possible, then we're foolish because it would be
no different than one of these mall owners here, you know,
and down the road someone else is selling milkshakes. You know.
Ten times as many you'd want to figure out what
they're doing so well. And I think they've done a

(01:06:30):
great job with their formula player procurement, you know how
much they're paying players, and and then system wise, he's
done a great job within the framework of his staff.
I mean, it's confined to Hey, it's team first. It's
all the things we initially preached when we got into
this industry, and that are pulled at times with the contracts,

(01:06:52):
the agents, the money, the media. There's a lot of
reasons why you can be pulled apart as a team.
But he addresses those things very well, uh and very intelligently.
And you know, I mean we we try to every
offseason get a chance to practice with those guys and
and just be around him. Uh. It's been unbelievable to
watch and and when I watched that episode last night,

(01:07:15):
you just get angry that you're not in this game,
like you know that to to have another opportunity, because
you feel that competitive nature to get back here and
you realize how hard it is, but you also realize
how exciting and how rewarding it can be. There was
some talk last year about you going to elsewhere, being
traded they're gonna trade Sean Payton. He's gonna be head

(01:07:37):
coach if pick a team. Um, how solid do you
feel in your ability to get New Orleans back to
the super Bowl? You want good? Real, I mean real good?
Uh shoot, coming off of this this last year. Um,
We've got a great group, a great young nucleus, and
and yet we're gonna have to put together another good
draft and and do another good job in free agency.

(01:07:58):
But I've got three years left. Um, you know, it's exciting.
It's exciting again. You know, you look at the age
of our team. It's kind of a rookie class that
these guys and I don't want to say these millennials,
but they don't know what they don't know, and they
feel like they can win right now. And you're kind
of like the understand how hard it is to win
and to win consistently. We went up and played Buffalo
and I gave him this whole like power point on

(01:08:20):
how hard it is to play Buffalo in October, November, December.
They've only had three losses in the last four years,
that you know, the whole thing, And they're listening and
they hear you, and you go through the numbers, and
then you go up there and and you're up forty
something to whatever, and you're looking around and they're looking
at you like and you're like, uh, now they never
believe in what I said the rest of the air,

(01:08:43):
that's right. Uh hey, Zebra Technology has this cool stuff,
this on field player tracking. Uh now, do you guys
use this? We do, um, well, the whole NFL does.
It's where we get our next gen numbers. You know
where we get uh oh, the players that run x
and umber of miles per hour. You know the um
you'll see it. Leonard Fournette ran twenty two miles per hour.

(01:09:05):
The teams have it and we're able to get our
personnel how many snaps we were in eleven twelve personnel
one personnel where they were. We also use it for
our practice and in a third of the teams in
our league use it for practice, and it allows us
to measure data from a standpoint of look tracking our
players movements, how long they were on the field, how

(01:09:27):
fast they ran. I mean, there's two chips in the
shoulder pads that track everything. And the company has been
around for thirty years. It's relatively new with the league
four years with the league. But you go to target
and you're gonna get a coffee maker, and you want
to know do they have it? It's on Aisle three,
there's four of them. It's because of these little chips
that we see everywhere, the little bar codes that's Zebra.

(01:09:47):
When they can put the chip in the football so
that they get so they get the placement right, it's
it's in the ball right now, the placements coming. I
mean there's a ton of things the sideline, the end zone,
all of those things that we see in other sports
that we're close to, uh solving here. Last thing you
want to solve problems? How do you fix the catch rule?
You know what, I'll be honest with you. I thought

(01:10:09):
the catch rule was crystal clear. I thought our interpretation
this year, quite honestly, in New York wasn't crystal clear.
There's a handful of times where replay went back to
New York, uh, where it came back in surprise not
only me but but the fans. So the catch rule
became blurry because of maybe some interpretations of what we

(01:10:29):
were considering a catch. I think it's hard for one
person to be in New York being up catch or
no catch, and I think, uh, you know, expanding that
to a larger group would be important, you know, something
that could help. But I didn't feel it was blurry
and until I until like all the fans did this year,
and started watching some of these get overturned, and then
it was like, well, now I don't know, but I

(01:10:50):
think it's pretty clear. Um, hey man, listen, I can't
tell you how much how great it was to watch
your team play and turn the thing around. I apologize
for declaring you guys dead, I said, I said dead
like I don't know, and then all of a sudden
I looked like the dumbest person on earth. Uh and
obviously maybe one play away from being here. Thanks so much,
Thank you, appreciate you. All Right, that's Sean Payton joining

(01:11:11):
us here at the Super Bowl on the Doug got
Leaf Show, Fox Sports Radio's Conditions in the Field Chain.
So can your insurance needs talk with a farmer's agent today,
so you consess with your policies. Game ready, find an
agent Farmers dot com a farmer. All right, let's bring
in Dan Buyer. What do you have for me, Dan? Well,
do you know last night we went and saw the

(01:11:31):
Bucks and Timberwolves over at Targets, and uh, the Timberwolves
dominated throughout, so it wasn't good for me, and it
just got worse. Buckscard Malcolm Brock then out six to
eight weeks with a partially torn left squad recept ended
suffered in the second quarter of last night's game, right
when Ryan Music and I were going to buy pretzel?
How was um? How was the Target Center? They redid it,

(01:11:56):
They redid the concourses. They've read one. The outside it's
very nice. The inside of the arena is like any
arena that was built in the late eighties and early nineties,
So the outside, not the inside. They did. The bowl
is the same, but the concourse is inside are redone.
They did the outside they're gonna do. Are they gonna
redo the inside? I don't know there's much that you

(01:12:16):
can really do. Like with the seating bowl, it's just
a very normal seating bowl there. There's you know, one
level lower level in an upper level, and that's what
you got with a lot of arenas built in the
you know, nineteen eighties and nineteen nineties kind of like
you know, I was gonna say New Comiskey, but it
was new Comiskey when they built in Chicago, was the

(01:12:36):
last park before all of the new or the Yeah,
that's kind of what you got with some of these,
you know arenas. Nowadays they're just kind of well, you know,
Milwaukee's got the same one as well. But Malcolm Brogdon
out six to eight weeks Calves forward Kevin Love won't
need surgery and his broken hand, he'll still miss six
eight weeks of action. ESPN says that Greig Monroe is

(01:12:56):
gonna sound with the Celtics Calves forward. The bron James

on James Harden's step back move. He sent out a
tweet that said it was embarrassing. Well, he meant to
send that as a d M. He was given the

(01:13:17):
video clip and wrote it's an embarrassment, adding that the
league is happy with scoring, so they are happy to
look away. But he says it's a bad move. It's
a traveling but they won't call it on James Harden.
It is says that his new iPhone X was the

T n T clip that was from Steve Kerr. Some

you go to say Gunda Arena or which it was
now Quicken Loans Arena, but when it first came out,
it at a different level like the levels were different
and gave some character to inside the seating bowl. This

Thanks go out to view Sonic. They decked out our
set here with twenty massive four KME monitors, easily making
Fox Sports Radio the very best set here at Radio
row You Sonic see the difference every day. At this time,
we'd like to bring back a portion of something you
may have heard earlier on Fox Sports Radio. We call
it the Fox Say Uh. Clay Travis out kick the

(01:15:54):
coverage with recently rated at one of the top ten
national radio shows. He um. He had this to say
regarding Justin Timberlake performing at halftime, and of course last
time he was at half time was the wardrobe malfunction.
That's what Clay's thoughts were on the wardrobe malfunction. It
was about fourteen years ago that Justin Timberlake made the

(01:16:16):
decision to pull the top off of Janet Jackson. Fourteen
years later, I don't think there's still the same level
of oh my god, think of the children, because I
think pornography in general has become so much more prevalent
that the idea that a kid wouldn't have seen a
nipple is different now than it would have been in

(01:16:37):
two thousand four. I think with the growth of social
media in general, and certainly the growth of pornography, everybody
has become desensitized in some level to nudity. But I
actually think Justin Timberlake would have been in worst position
for doing the same thing if he did it today.
For this reason, I'm not sure Justin Timberlake survives in

(01:16:57):
his career. If he does this in a modern era
of v Weinstein and me too, this would turn into
racism and sexism. If a white guy pulls the top
off of a black performer without her consent, does he
get charged with a crime? Think about the fallout from
Justin Timberlake doing the exact same thing with Janet Jackson

(01:17:17):
in eighteen that he did in four. I think that
this story goes instead of it being like, oh my god,
I can't believe the kids saw a boob, I think
it turns into maybe Justin Timberlake getting charged with a crime.
It's crazy, that's crazy to think about it that way,
But he's probably right in terms of the freak out.
The one thing that should be pointed out is because

(01:17:38):
if it was to occur now, would it have not
occurred in two thousand and four? Right? Like? Are we
eliminating the previous? And part of it was just so alarming?
It should also be pointing out it wasn't a surprised
that Janet Jackson. Otherwise, why was she wearing a star
covering her nipple? Right, like that doesn't it felt like
that was part of the performance art from MTV who
that was their time in which they used to per

(01:18:00):
They used to uh uh produce the halftime show. Obviously
that was the last halftime show I believe that they produced.
Like here's my thing on halftime shows. Okay, they are
in fact for the women, for the children, for the
non traditional NFL viewer, I mean, heck there for the
fans that are in the stands. The ticket prices are ridiculous,

(01:18:20):
you know, upwards of nine hundred and something dollars for
any seat in the house. And so what you can
at least you can justify it by hey, it's the
Super Bowl and you get to go to a Justin
Timberlake concert all at the same time. Uh. My advice
to Timberlake who came out and said that his son
would never play football, and like, look, when your dad's
Justin Timberlake and your mom's Jessica Bill, you don't ever

(01:18:41):
have to play football. And also it's not like Justin
timber Lakes the type of build to where he's gonna
have a football playing son. But when timber Lakes says that, um,
you know, you start to. I'm I'm sure the NFL
people will feel like they're rubbed the wrong way by Jake.
He's a ridiculous town. Can sing, can dance, can rap,

(01:19:04):
cann act, can produce, can do just about everything. But
don't you want to just hear his five best songs,
his five biggest songs, and not in medley form. However
much time they give you. Those are the pick a
number of songs that fits that amount of time, and
that's what I want to hear. I wanted to be
like a Justin Timberlake concert, only you have to do

(01:19:25):
it in a shortened period of time. So come out
play your five songs. We don't. I don't even want
other people to join him on stage. You know why.
Justin Timberlake by himself, he is good enough, or however
you know he normally performs. He is good enough to
which he doesn't need help. He doesn't. Let's just and
you know what if it's if it's close to the
album sound, as long as he's singing it, I'm cool

(01:19:48):
with that too, you know why, because that's the way
I heard it when I wanted to be a top
forty show. So the idea that Justin Timberlake has to
go and do something different or sing a medley or
singing his new song like that's gonna help. I'm sure
they'll help downloads if he's gonna sing filthy I hate
once from the new album, right. I came to see

(01:20:08):
Justin timber Lake because of his three or four previous albums.
And that's what the Fox said, Say, do you think
that we're um, you think that we've I mean, obviously
we become desensitized annuity. I would disagree with Clay in
terms of uh, in terms of pornography. Now, part of

(01:20:29):
it is Clay kind of lives on the Internet, and
he understands that on the Internet pornography is readily available.
I actually think some of it has swung back in
the other direction, in which we are more hesitant to
show people things kids things earlier because we understand the
desensitization which occurs. I don't know. I mean, like, look,

(01:20:50):
I understand that it exists, but well, when I was
a kid, it used to exist in playboys and hustlers,
and everyone knew a kid in their class who had
an older brother or you know, or a dad who
kept him under their mattress or brought them with them
to school and tucked it away safely in their backpack.

(01:21:10):
So it's not like pornography is new. It's only maybe
more readily available, but only readily available if you're constantly
searching online. Your parents haven't put any protections up on screen. Uh.
Kirk Cousins had something interesting to say, you know it
joined us the day before or hours before. He was
the trade for Alex Smith, essentially ender the question as
to would he be a redskin next year. He told

(01:21:34):
USA Today that, um it shouldn't it Being the trade
for Alex Smith shouldn't hurt his his um, his trade value.
I think the tape is what you go off of.
If you're not gonna go off the tape, I wouldn't
really want to be there anyway. I want to be
with the team that's gonna evaluate the table, watch film,
no football and make the decisions based upon that. Now,

(01:21:55):
like that sounds good, but when they have you under contract,
and for the last three years we've understood full well
that they're not in love with Kirk Cousins. You can
throw on the tape and you see some stuff, but
there's probably something underneath the surface to which you're like,
there's something we don't know. And then when you go
out and get Alex Smith, some of it is who

(01:22:16):
you go out and reach out and get to be honest, right,
doesn't that shape We'll wait if they like Alex Smith
better than Kirk Cousins, even if Kirk Cousins was gonna
um was was gonna cost them more money, doesn't that
say something about Kirk Cousins. One last thing, and I
know we got a bunch of things to get to

(01:22:37):
talk about super upcoming top of the hour. A fan
on the court last night in Denver and Russell Westbrook
gave him a little bit of a shove. Okay, The
first thing is, can we all agree that not all
shoves are are contact with fans doesn't rise to level
of assault, right, just like all fans on the court

(01:22:58):
are not equal. Right, guy celebrates, the guy makes a
game winning shot, celebrates with his fans. Fans leak out
a little bit unto the court. Not that big a deal.
Fan yelling at a at a player, you know, as
long as he's not cursing or stepping onto the court,
not that big a deal. At the end of a game, though,
Russell Westbrook dribbling the basketball, holding the basketball, and fans

(01:23:20):
steps to him. That's the type of thing that that
usually is going to end poorly, and frankly, as as
hard as Rust plays, as an emotional as a player
he is, the league should probably be happy. Nothing super
emotional spilled out. Generally, stay off the floor. Generally Russ
shouldn't push anybody. But in that particular case, guy had
to come into him. Who's gonna win? I'll tell you next.

What up? Doug Gottlieb Show, Fox Sports Radio, coming to
you from the Mall of America. Brought to you by

off your first order. All right, we got to Marcus
Marioto just around the corner. Christian mccaffriel join us. Juju

(01:24:07):
Smith Schuster will also be our guest. And look, one
of the things that happens with two weeks off is
we begin the process of over analyzing. And we also
have it. We also have a tendency to not necessarily misremember.
But we we are a highlight driven culture. We are
last thing we see driven culture and the fact is

(01:24:29):
the fact is that the Falcons blew that game last year.
Don't let it get twisted. Okay, was tom Brady great? Yeah?
It was the most remarkable comeback I've seen in a
big sporting event ever. Because the game was over, my
kids went to bed. Don't worry, kids, it's over. Three

(01:24:51):
run the football, take a knee three times, kick a
field goal. They don't. Julio Jones made the best catch
I've ever seen the Super Bowl. That thing was a rap.
Should have been thirty three at at least run the football,
take care of the ball. It's a rap. They didn't
open the door. A couple of things go bump in
the night. Now tom Brady regains his confidence, But there

(01:25:12):
was a time in which Tom Brady, who is the
most accomplished quarterback in the history of the game, look human,
looked old. And though he gets Rob Gronkowski back, that's
not a surprise. Though he's been here now seven times

(01:25:32):
before and has more experience than everybody. Even at this
point in his career, you would pick him ahead of
Nick Foles. The fact is that if there was a
defense that appears to be Taylor made, Taylor made to
take down the paths. It's the Eagles like look defenses
that have two great cornerbacks and blitz like crazy. That's

(01:25:55):
not how you take down the Patriots because they don't
have superstar wide receivers. They try and find mismatches, they
try and pick you apart, and they're gonna find some mismatches,
but they also score late. They also just kind of
hang around the game and hope Brady bails them out.
But they do show against defenses like last year with

(01:26:16):
the Falcons that gets hired that have four really good
players up front. The Seagules team is built with seven
or eight really good players up front. They have speed
and hybrid players that that can cover the Gronkowskis that
can cover the Dion lewis Is. It doesn't mean they
shut them down. You don't have to shut them down,
but you get the Brady a couple of times, he

(01:26:37):
becomes a different quarterback. If you don't believe me, check
out the couple of Super Bowls he lost, or even
check out the first three three quarters of the Super
Bowl last year. In our effort to find a way
to affirm the greatness of Brady, because he just came
back and beat the Jacksonville Jaguars. We're going crazy. Look
the Jaguars stink at quarterback. Stink. Bottom five starting quarterback

(01:27:02):
in the league is Blake Bortles. He was better this year,
but better was only good enough to be bottom five
of the top thirty two starters. All right, And I
mean the truth is the a f C was a
mess because of injuries and dysfunction, and even then a
f C NFC was as well. But one thing that
was true is that when the Eagles, when you were healthy,

(01:27:24):
it didn't matter when you heard it didn't matter that
Eagles defense was pretty salty all year long. I'm I'm
taking the Eagles to win this game. I'm not going
crazy and saying that Tom Brady is not an all
time great, just like I didn't say it with Peyton
Manning when he lost the Seahawks. But the Seahawks defense
was that much better than the then the Broncos uh

(01:27:46):
offense was like the best offense against the best defense.
The best defense almost always wins. All right, let's get
to our next guest. Yes, yes, rhyme music. I know
you think the Eagles are gonna win. Let's just say
they win their sixth who's more likely Brady or Belichick
to walk away at the end, or do you think

(01:28:06):
if there's no chance either of them are done now?
I don't think. I'm not gonna say no chances. I
don't know Brady would be the guy. Brady would be
the guy Giesel wants to retire. Um, And I don't
know what Belichick would do losing all three of his coordinators,
like that would be crazy. But let's say so you
lose all of the coordinators and Brady walks away. If

(01:28:29):
you're Belichick, perhaps you weren't considering it, but then do
you I think you have to. I think you absolutely
have to. I mean, look, I would I would absolutely consider.
You know, if I'm Brady, you win, you walk away.
I don't see that. I don't think that's crazy at all.
But these guys, they convinced themselves that they just have

(01:28:50):
more and and asking once you stop playing quarterback, like
it's just not the same, all right, And if you're
a quarterback now you're you're not. He does take some shots,
but nut shots like he you used to take. They
do a really good job protecting him. Um Belichick, I
think should be more likely, should be more likely because
he's losing everybody. But I don't think either walks away.

(01:29:14):
I mean they're both. I think they're both selfish enough
because if they win, they think, why not go get
three in a row. No one's ever done that. If
they lose, they say, you know, we're close, let's go
get another one. We're not that far away. What about
Belichick giving up the and endless grind of game planning
and just going official because we already think he's basically
the g M. What if he gives up the head

(01:29:36):
coach position and just goes, look, let me handle the
personnel stuff. But there's no energy to that. That's not
that much fun, right, Why the coach in the games
is the fun That's the fun part. Fun part is
going in at halftime and fixing it. That's the fun part,
all right. He threw a touchdown pass to himself in
a playoff win over the Chiefs. He's the tightest quarterback.

(01:29:57):
Marcus Mariote's joining me on the Doug Gottliep Show. So
we usually have the plug at the end of the interview.
Let's reverse it, Um, I have to start with the
plug at the start. Why do you have spam? Yeah? Absolutely,
big things. So growing up man spam was a big
deal back on Hawaiian big in Hawaii, and uh funny
it kind of worked out being here in Minnesota. The

(01:30:19):
headquarters for spam are here, so it just kind of
sparked the relationships. Okay, So now here's the here's the
question I have. Um, Look, I've done a bunch of
tournaments in Hawaii and I've I've called u h is
n C a tournament game where they beat cow and
then they lost in the second round. And like, I
go with Hawaii, but I think it's supposed to be Hawaii, right, Okay,

(01:30:40):
So but how should like us bring go uh you know,
contiguous forty eight states? Like I don't want to try
too hard, Like Hawaii is fine the way that you play, okay, alright, good,
good enough? And I know you love the weather in
the Twin Cities, right this is it's it's a great
negative four degrees right now. It is. Okay, So spam, like,

(01:31:03):
how do you how do you eat it? So there's um,
there's many ways to do it back home, we really
have it with like every single meal, but really you
can do it with breakfast. People chop it up, putting
their eggs um. A lot of times. What my family
has done and a lot of different times have done
is they make it what's called spam musubies And basically
you take some rice, you put spam on top of it,

(01:31:25):
and then you wrap seaweed on it, and uh it's
a quick little snack. Some people put egg in it,
some people do some other things with it to change
it up, but uh, it's a quick, easy little meal.
I've been watching Tom Versus Time. I haven't seen him
use it in Tom Versus Time, like, you know, maybe
that would extend his I also, I was in Eugene
last week. Was in Eugene last week called a basketball game.

(01:31:45):
There's a Hawaiian spot there. Oh yeah, there's a bunch.
There's a few. How is that? What is that? Was
that there before you got there? Yeah? You know what,
there's there's always been kind of a h a good
amount of people from Hawaii that they go to school
in Oregon, um, whether it's in you Gina at the
University of Oregon, Oregon State, or even some of the
smaller schools. So it's been there for a while. All Right.

(01:32:06):
It is wild. You guys win a playoff game and
there's a coaching change. And take take me back to
the Kan City game where the story was that there
might be a coaching change, you know, regardless of the
outcome of the game. I'm sure you heard that in
your locker room. That did that any effect in your preparation? No,
And I really you gotta give credit. Uh so coach

(01:32:29):
Malarkey and and uh really the older vets of our team,
the way they the way they handled that. Um, you know,
you could have really let that creep in and and
cause some distractions, but guys just kind of flushed it
out and we're able just to go out there and
play one and get a win. I mean not just that.
I turned off the TV. I thought it was over.
What what what was said? What did you say? Something?

(01:32:51):
Was there? Schematic change? What changed with you? Guys? Honestly, Uh,
we we had kind of been in those situations before
during the season. Um, we kind of had we had
four or five of those comeback victories and uh really, guys,
don't blink a lot blink and I we understood what
what was in front of us. We had to make
one play at a time, go get go down there,
get a score and uh see what would happen and

(01:33:12):
we ended up coming back. I don't think there's any
secret that one of the reasons, uh for the coaching changes,
they want to get the best version of you on
the football field. They want to get more out of you. Um.
Now you know the new staff is getting into place.
What in your mind, now that you've been in the
league for a couple of years, what's the best version
of you? What's the what has to change in the

(01:33:33):
offense to allow you to take another step? Well, I
think when it comes down to it, um, just putting
putting us in the best situation as possible. Um, you know,
helping our receivers out um, giving the ball to guys
like Delaney and Derek, lend them go make plays. UM.
So for me, I just think of myself as as
a point guard. Just distribute, let those guys go out
there and and find ways to make plays. And I

(01:33:54):
think if we're able to do that, uh consistently, we
can be we can be pretty good. You're somebody who
you you You learn from every experience. What you learn
from that Patriots experience? You know what I learned from
from the standpoint that if we want to be competitive,
we want to go and get to these places. Uh,
it takes a whole lot more, uh, scheme wise, and
also I think out of the players to beat good

(01:34:17):
teams like that. And at the same time, I think
we came out, we came out and fine, we played
well I think for the first quarter and a half,
and uh, you kind of let your guard down, you
kind of put it into like okay, we can, we
can play with these guys. And then once you put
your your guard down, they come after you. Yeah, they
just they just blit you right Like I said, wait, wait, wait,
we just like hold on and you go into the
half you're like, wait, we were we were good and

(01:34:37):
now we're not good. And that's and that's where I
think for us as a young team, being able to
learn from that experience, um and just take take it
for what it's worth, and um, you know, we gotta
be better and we gotta we gotta improve in order
to be competitive and to get into places like these games.
And there's also something kind of magical about what Tom does,
right you you know, like we've been talking to everybody says,
you know, how he finds the mismatch. But also all

(01:34:59):
of a sudden they go tempo, right, They're they're going
at one speed and then they see something they like
and now they down shift. Uh. That sort of command
within the offense, that's something that you had to go, Hey,
I want to do that. Yeah, for sure. For sure.
And along the lines of that, I think how he
has taken care of himself the way that he prepares um,
A young guy like me can learn a lot from that. Yeah.

(01:35:20):
I mean, first you have to have the spam, mix
in some avocado with the spam, right, throwing into a milkshake,
have a guy coming massage you at all hours of
the night. And then and then you last year like
you're like fifty years old. Uh it's uh. So you
go to spam dot com for easy, delicious recipes, including
the one that Marcus gave you that his folks make

(01:35:40):
back home. Hey, congrats on making the playoffs, on winning
the game and continue health and successful man, Thank you
very much. Appreciate it alright, the pleasure is all mine.
Most most importantly, I correctly pronounced both Hawaii and Hawaii.

(01:37:48):
Christian McCaffrey. He joins us in the Doug Gotleif Show,
Fox Sports Radio. Christian give me Your give me your Way.
How you would characterize your rookie season, Well, I had
a blast, you know, I have fun playing ball. It's
what your dream of as a kid, obviously playing in
the NFL, but um, you know, obviously didn't in the
way we wanted. UM. But but I I can't, you know,
imagine myself, you know, in a in a better organization.

(01:38:08):
I love the Panthers, and I think I had I
had a good year. Obviously wasn't the year I wanted.
Um But but you know, I know what I gotta
work on now and I'm looking forward to getting after
an the offseason. What is it? I think, just continue
to become a complete back, you know, and not just
being a pass catch and you know back. And you know,
I obviously I ran the ball a little bit, but
I really want to develop as an as an every
down back. So I think that's that's the goal, and

(01:38:29):
we'll continue to work for it towards that. It also, though,
felt like it took them a little bit of time
to figure out how they wanted to use you, right
like he had, Cam wasn't really ready in the preseason,
so you guys, so he and then he was kind
of inaccurate to start the year, and then you guys
had some personnel changes trade and Kelvin Benjamin away you
know mid season as well, and then I don't know,

(01:38:49):
like to to the viewer, to to the fan, it
was like took them a while to figure out how
they wanted to use you. Was that your understanding of
the league that improved or their understanding of you you
did improve? Well, I think, uh, you know, the best
coaches and the best players can meet halfway. You know,
the coaches can adapt to the player and the players
got to adapt to them. And I think that's that's
not an easy thing to do. You know, it doesn't

(01:39:10):
come in a day. And so, um, I think later
in the year we started to to to kind of
jell a little bit more, and you know, some ups
and downs, but I think it's and you know, at
the end of the day, it's my job to give
them the confidence to to you know, do what they
want to do with me. And so I'll continue to
work and and and continue to have conversations. And um,
I mean I'm excited because I know there's a lot
to look forward to. Okay, so there's there's gonna be

(01:39:31):
a new system, right, new offensive coordinator. What do you
what do you know about what you guys are gonna
try and do do differently? Well, I know coach Turner's
resume and all the backs that he's coached, and so
that's been, that's been, you know, exciting for me just
to see that. So so I know he's an unbelievable mind,
and just to be able to learn from him and
play for him, I'm for sure excited. And uh, I
know there'll probably be a lot of motions, a lot

(01:39:52):
of shifts, but but overall just an efficient, you know,
hopefully explosive offense. Christian McCaffrey joining us on the Doug
Gottlip Show here on uh Unfoxed Sports Radio. Um, this
is an Eagles team that they got a pretty nasty defense.
I'm wonder what what what about the defense though? Uh
that you see that we miss on? What makes them

(01:40:12):
so effective? Well, I think I think they play so
well as a team. Uh, you know, they got a great,
great uh front. You know, Fletcher Cox is an unbelievable player.
You know, Malcolm Jenkins in the back kind of runs
runs a secondary and so to have you know, a
guy up front and a guy in the back who
who you know are pro bowled players, and uh, you know,
they have so many great, great talents other than them

(01:40:33):
as well, and they play so well as a unit.
I think that's you know, that's that's what's tough to
to do on offense, to to you know, be efficient
against as a defense that plays well together. What's your
reaction to Bryce Love decided to come back for another
year at Stamford. Oh? Man, I'm excited for him. I
know he made the best decision for himself and that
that's what he felt in his heart. So he's gonna
have unbelievable success whether he came out this year he

(01:40:53):
comes out next year. I know. But there's like, look,
you you didn't play the Bowl game, obviously, protecting your body,
getting you ready self ready for the draft. And there's
a lot of there's, you know a lot of people like, look,
he had a great year, You're gonna be a top
draft pick. I mean, why would you put yourself in
harm's way having been through it? Do you do you
like the idea of coming back and risking you know,

(01:41:16):
so much just to return to play for Stanford? Well,
I think, you know, it's a it's an individual decision.
You know. Obviously I made my decisions based on what
I thought was best for me, and he's doing the
same with him so you know, whatever he decides to
do is the is the right thing for him and
not the you know, nobody can argue because he he
felt it it was best for him. So you know,
like I said, he's gonna have success regardless. Have you
gotten to the place where you can bust Cams balls

(01:41:38):
about the hats? Absolutely? Absolutely? So did he take it? Okay?
Oh yeah, man Cams the man. Man. He he jokes
around a lot, you know, obviously, Um, you know, he's
he's a funny guy and he's unique in his own way.
But at the end of the day, he's funny. Man.
We have fun What's the worst one? The worst one
that he's got to stop wearing is the ones without

(01:41:59):
the bills where it's just the hat part. So that's
I mean, he rocks it and he does well with it,
and he makes it his own. But that's something that
I probably couldn't put in my wardrobe. It's really remarkable though,
how big a human being he is, right like, I mean,
right like it's one of those things to which I
know on on on camera he looks he looks like,
you know, like big, super athletic guy. But in person,

(01:42:23):
I mean an unbelievably imposing, posing dude. And obviously, you know,
one of the things that changed with you guys is
you guys started using more as a runner second half
of the season. That that took away your carries, you know.
But uh, but that's that has to be something to
which I don't know, as like, when you first get
in the locker room, you gotta be what trying to
figure this guy out as this bigger than life figure

(01:42:45):
that you're trying to can I bust his chops? Is
he a regular dude? How long did that take? I
mean it, I mean it wasn't different with him or
anybody else. I think that's that's the thing. You know,
people misunderstand about Camas. At the end of the day, Man,
he's he's a great guy. Uh. You know, people don't
get a see is off off the field self. And uh,
you know he's a great teammate, he's great in the
locker room. Um, you know, he vibes with kind of

(01:43:06):
everybody on the team. So uh, you know, he's a
great guy to be around. Um, coming about your you've
teamed up with Visa and their technology of course, uh
you know you can complete payments. There's a bunch of
different ways to use Visa other than just the old
fashioned Visa card, right right, Yeah, No, I'm in a
couple of days in these last few weeks and got
to show a lot of people, a lot of different
people to the speed and efficiency. If it's a contactless car,

(01:43:28):
it's all you gotta do is just put it up
to the to the monitor and you can hear the
Actually they call it the sound of Visa uh, an
actual sound that comes out, and you know it's great. Actually,
uh got to spend some time at a curling rink,
which I've never been to before and saw some fans there,
got to sign autographs and actually pay for some some
of their pizza while I signed the autograph. So it's
great with Visas doing their unbelievably innovative and with this

(01:43:49):
new card, it's it's pretty cool. Yeah. Well, so can
you curl? Did you know how to do it? I
was absolutely terrible? I uh I, it's unbelievable to finesse
you have to have when you curl. They had some
pros come out and there's a lot of techniques to it.
You gotta know when to sweep it, when not to
sweep it. It's like a big shuffle board. Hey, you're
like you you have You're an unbelievable spinter. You have

(01:44:11):
like remarkable speed and agility. How much of that obviously
both your parents great athletes. How much of that has
God given? And how much of that is development over time?
I think it's definitely a little bit of both. You know,
I hit a hit a good gene pool, But you know,
it takes a lot of work and um, a lot
of consistency of keeping up with it, keeping up with
the training and just trying to find the best new

(01:44:32):
new stuff that works for me. Yeah, I look at
uh I watched this you're talking about curling. I think
of the the sprinters that are ice skaters like have
you have you ever? Like they are freaks, a freak
shows that's an unbelievable sport that that gets taken for
granted because if you you know, you hit the boards
going as fast as that, I mean, they're going you
know into you know, you fall into the boards. You know,

(01:44:56):
you're that's that's serious. So it's it's pretty impressive. You
had an impressive first year. Man looking for big things
in the future. Christian, thanks so much for joining us.
I appreciate you having me pleasures are as Christian McCaffrey,
the Carolina Panthers joining us and has conditions in the
field change. So can your insurance needs talk with the
farmer's agent today so you can assess with your policy.
Is game ready by an agent at farmers dot com
a farmer Dan by a wading out working While those

(01:45:21):
speed skating quads are impressive, dude, seriously, Christian right, yeah,
they're ridiculous. Music is like sitting there laughing like I'm
not kidding. Have you ever seen those speeds get like
they're ridiculous. It's it's no kidding, it's Music's Torso that's
the size of like one quad of a speed skater.
We will see that. Uh. The Anton Apollo on No

(01:45:45):
was put in my ear by Gavin short track speed skater.
I prefer the long track. The Dan Jansen Bonnie Blair
sort of Dan Jensen feldough right twice, but then in
a lulahammer he brought home the goal. D do play
a little hot little hummer. By the way, that was
kind of impressive. You didn't go lily hammer, you went
a little hammer. It's because I'm a quarter Norwegian Doug.

(01:46:07):
I'm not sure what Steve Kerr is, but I know
one thing. He is not good at Twitter, at least
with his new iPhone X, accidentally tweeting out that the
NBA is an embarrassment as they aren't calling James Harden's
travels when he does his step back move. Kerr explaining
to reporters today that yes, he meant it as a
d M and not an actual tweet, and then didn't
know how to delete the tweet because you're still getting

(01:46:29):
used to his new iPhone anyway, A little bit of embarrassment,
but maybe a lot of truth in what are you
saying you have the EX or do you have the eight?
When I still have the seven? But you see, didn't
get slowed down like everybody else got slowed down, So
then you I panic freaked out, went got the eight.
I didn't get the X. People have the X, they
try and get like, no, it's really worth two dollars more.
I think the eighth grade. Plus he's got the home button.

(01:46:50):
The X has no home button. I think they'll probably
come out with a better one next year. Isn't that
what they always do? Yeah? I have to you have
to have the deal or every year you get to do.
I'm on the two year plan, like a lot of
guys are. It's just the way it goes um, just
the way Kevin Love is his plan, The eight week
plan cast forward, Broken hand won't beat still eight weeks.

(01:47:13):
Malcolm brogten out six to eight weeks after it tour
a quad tendon last night in a loss to the
Minnesota Timberwolves. Couch Bucks get Jabari Parker back tonight, making
his season debut against the Knicks. Saints running back Calvin
Kamara tabbed as the PEPSI NFL Rookie of the Year.
Tons coming up in the press at the end of
the show, including your Super Bowl pick, Tug, but no

(01:47:33):
Eagles or Patriots on the injury report bow, no excuses,
no question. Everybody knows that that's it. That is it.
That is it, and that's all here from Dan in
a second with the press. All the things you might
have missed from the world of sports upcoming. First, He's
a great young wide receiver. Laid U laid out one
of the toughest linebackers in the NFL with one of
the blocks of the year. He's Steeler's young wide receiver

(01:47:56):
Jujuice Smith Shustree. He joins me now in the Dug
gott Leap Show, and U all right, we got a
bunch of things to get to with you, ju ju.
But I ain't gonna lose to the Jaguars, man, I
tell everybody, mane, we dug a hole to deep, you know,
for us to come out. I feel like, you know,
every game that we play that we're down, we always
play better when we're losing. I think, you know, moving forward,
when we start on top, you gotta stay on top. Yeah,

(01:48:18):
but you guys, I know you guys did that all year,
like Cleveland to start the year. Any of you guys
are down to like you go through all these games?
What is the deal with with falling behind? Like it's
almost like that that kids, like that guy who's at
the park playing pick up basketball, Like, all right, we'll
go to ten, I'll spot your five points. That was
the Steelers this year. Yeah, that's a good one. Man.

(01:48:38):
Definitely us this year. But I mean, just moving forward,
we gotta, you know, stay focused. What you learn. I
learned a lot um, I know, So give me give
me some bullets on first year. I don't know if
you're taken you've taken like mental notes or physical notes
like first year, like I've learned these couple of things
about the league, one mental note and one physical note.
Good go. So one mental note for me is, uh,

(01:48:58):
you know the game every was a lot smarter um.
You know, being able to dissect you know the cover,
the coverage of the play, you know seconds before the
boss and that whether whether it's man or his own.
I've learned that you run across the middle against linebackers,
if his zone, you better sit down. If you keep
running your light it's knocked out of you. Um. Physically,

(01:49:19):
I've learned that. You know, in the NFL it's a
lot you know, slower pace. You know, in practice you
gotta learn how to you know when a goal full
speed win or out to um. And I've learned that
pretty fast, you know, going against you know the vets.
You know. So it's uh, I'm taking both things. Okay,
explain to me this a b thing because I don't
understand how he's so so good, Like he's so much

(01:49:40):
better than everybody at that position. I mean, Antonio brown
Is It's crazy. They put two guys on him, he
still gets open. They're physical with him, he still gets open.
They put speed on him, he still gets open, Like,
how does how it? How does it work? A B
is open? Seven? How do but how how does it?
How that that's not that goes counter to everything you
think of, like alright, two guys on him, we somewhere else,

(01:50:01):
but big Bend just waits and eventually he's open. And
I don't know how to explain it because every day
in practice that's what they do. The double team him,
they try to press him, they try to be physical,
and a B still produces. And it's crazy because he
does it every year. So what can you what in
how he does what he does? Can you take and

(01:50:21):
go like, oh, I'm gonna add that this offseason? Is it?
Is it footwork? Is it hand hand fighting? Like? What
is it that you're gonna try and take from watching
A B every day and go, I'm gonna try and
do some of that his releases and his toes, his
toes catches, toe taps. You know that's something that we
learned in practice. Every day that we do is that
every time you catch the ball top one toe and
against great great explanation, Uh, Green Bay Packers, you know

(01:50:44):
we're down you gotta get a fire to win the game.
It's covered to two people on a b he throws
like a circus round a bender in the smallest window
that big bend puts it on. He catches it, drags
the right or left toe. Everyone's like, no, that's not
a cant. It's a catch. Win the game off a
field goal. Yeah, I know, it's it's crazy. I mean
he's so ridiculously good. Um. Hardest thing about being a

(01:51:08):
rookie staying up playing video games all night. You can't
do it anymore or just that's the problem. I need
to go to sleep. I stay up. That's the hardest thing,
you know, being being up? And uh, all our friends
are from Cali, so that three hours back, the headset on,
head set on high. What are you playing? You playing
a lot of call of duty? Your call of duty? Guy?

(01:51:30):
Not a mad guy, not an NBA. Nah man, I'm
two k guy, We're not. What about the pup. Does
the pup stay up late or does a pup shut
shut it down? Like eight now the pup is going
to bed? Yeah, I know right. Dogs are amazing. Dogs
are come in and come in and go, you know, like, hey,
we're going to bed. We're going to bed, Like now
I'm not going to bed, all right, I'm peace out
this bogie. I know it's bougie sleep on the bed

(01:51:51):
in a crate and a crate. You don't sleep from me.
He has his own master bedroom. How big it's Uh,
it's about this. It's probably like half of this. Uh? Now,
where's boogie? Did you lea boogie at home? I love
you don't like the snow because he used to Cali Weather,
I know, but he's now in Pittsburgh. Just I mean,
I know offseason you're gonna be He's gonna be back home,
uh in Cali. Okay, So Panini's the exclusive trading card
partner of the NFL and Jujue Smith Schuster. You're gonna

(01:52:13):
uh participate in the Pop Warner Skills Clinic? Did you
play Pop Warner growing up? Starting went great? I started
about I wanna say about sixth grade, fifth grade tackle.
Sixth grade fifth grade, I was playing tacle flag. It's
kind of all the way around and always wide receivers.
You play quarterback, played quarterback? Yeah, you kid plays quarterback? Well,
all the good kids play quarterback, right, Like that's how

(01:52:34):
he doesn't mean you're eventually you're always gonna be a quarterback,
but you start playing quarterback and then they're like, because
you want the best athlete to touch the ball as
often as possible. Most definitely, Um, Levy on, what's what's
the story with the contract? You get involved? Late? Leby
on we need you back? Yeah, I mean there's my CM, like,
come on, lady, let's let's man, let's get this ring. Um.
But it's tough, man, And that's the thing that's that's

(01:52:55):
the NFL for you? How um, how tough was it?
How tough? Is this the chas your thing to process? Right?
Because I know, like I played football Pop Warner growing
up as well, and I know they always told you
like this was a possibility if you get your head
down or whatever. But to see a dude, who's I
mean to see Ryan Shay's here, like a bigger than
life guy lay on that football field motionless, what's that like? Emotionally? Man?

(01:53:20):
It's tough, um. And even to this day, you know,
just recently he's he's able to stand and you know,
being able to move. Um, it's a blessing, you know. Um,
we're not worried about if he's coming back, you know,
to play ball with us. But we're worried about if
he's able to you know, be able to walk around,
play with his kids and you know, have that lifestyle
back again. So I mean, uh to see that. It's tough,

(01:53:43):
but we know that we call it say leave, and
you know, we believe that he's gonna come back. New
offense coming this year. Have you been told what's gonna
change with the offense? Um? Not yet? Just get get
you drew the ball more, that's right. Yeah, I'm just
gonna have to get out there more. Uh. Well, listen,

much because he can kind of, you know, creep some
people out. Uh you know the fandom. Uh Jared Goff

(01:57:48):

I tell him the Jared Goff News of the spring

We always want to leave you knowing more than you
did before you started listening to the show. That's why
we bring you the press. Dan Byer, what he got,

(01:58:32):
Dan Buyer, Ladies and gentlemen, he'll be here a week.
Try the veal we did. We can show from here
we go. I will be doing it live from Minneapolis
and nine o'clock Eastern time Sunday morning, a special three
hour edition of Fox Sports Sunday where you could hear
my interviews with Patriots wide receiver Chris Hogan. And he
goes running back Corey Clement bowl Chris Hogan as he's

(01:58:53):
six too, because he's a Patriot white wide receiver. Everybody
thinks he's like five eight, right, Like, yeah, you're like
a little little dark over there. Like, actually, I'm really
fast and long and you know, the opposite of what
you saying. Anyway, you can hear that Sunday morning on
the sports radio Big News Today on Twitter. And you
may have seen the video of the father of the
three girls who were assaulted by Larry Nassa, the gymnastics

(01:59:14):
coach well in a Michigan court today. Randall mar Graves
asked the judge for five minutes in a room with
Nasa so he could well, you know, beat him up. Well,
asked for a minute in a room. Judge said no. Finally,
mar Graves took matters into his own hands when after
Nassa in the courtroom was restrained by multiple sheriff's deputies. However,

(01:59:35):
he will not be facing any contempt of court charges.
Judge saying no way she is going to charge mar Graves,
who was obviously emotionally moved as his three daughters were victimized.
Is actually a really hard one. And I know this
is unpopular, but I kind of think you gotta, I mean,
he's gotta. It's gotta be at least some low, low
level misdemeanor slap on the wrist, just be not not

(01:59:58):
because we don't understand how he feels. But if if
there is no punishment, what's to stop the next guy
and the next guy and the next guy. Look, Larry
Nasser is evil. He is evil. What he did to
these young women. Uh, it's gonna take years and years
of therapy. I I can't imagine I have two little
girls where I mean you don't, and you don't have

(02:00:18):
to have two little girls to understand, uh, what a
sick human being he is. Uh. That said, like, look,
we're a first world country. We're a country of laws,
and we we even we even protect our criminals in
this country. And I do I think it's the worst
thing in the world. No, but I do think that
not charging with anything does set a very dangerous precedent.

(02:00:39):
I think if you would ask the cops they wish
they would have delayed their response about ten seconds and
then at least let him get a shot in before.
That's what I'd like to see, I understand. I'm like again,
like we all understand, but the cops are only doing
their jobs. The judge actually has to do her job.
I think let's let's get onto other matters where we
can have some fun. How about this LaVar Ball doing

(02:01:03):
it again, Doug trying to start the Junior Basketball Association.
LaVar Ball and the j b A are now d
m ng top high school basketball recruits around the country,
asking them and telling them that they are interested in
the player to join the j b A to become
the first part of a groundbreaking league that can take

(02:01:25):
players right out of high school. This is this is
this is look, there's something uh genius about it, but
it's also this is some au stuff like do these
guys are still playing high school basketball? What are you doing? Like?
What are you? What are you doing? Um? And this
is the kind of stuff that Eventually we'll get him
to where this this league will never take off off
the ground. Interesting to see US d m NG recruits

(02:01:47):
that are going to Creighton in Boston College according to
the CBS reports, So not even the top guys. Doug
just taking even four star guys trying to get them
in caps. For Lebron, James didn't go to college. We
know all that worked out for him. The rumor of
him joining the Warriors nonsense, and the non stories saying
that's pretty much disrespectful as he's trying to win another

(02:02:07):
championship for the Calves. Um. Look, I told you it
was kind of a non story yesterday. My thing is this,
I do think that Lebron's people are putting out there
that he's gonna talk to whomever wants to talk. I
don't think it's just a drum up interest to motivate
the Calves. I think it's actually to motivate the Lakers,
to give them to have some concessions so they can

(02:02:27):
pick some of the things. Like Look, part of the
thing is with with Lebron. Remember you know, pat Riley,
this this is what Phil Jackson got in trouble for.
Was was mentioning that pat Riley used to let his
guys fly on the plane and they shut that thing down.
Now in Cleveland, his guys kind of have the run
of the place. Lebron James doesn't just come and he's
not like, Hey, I'm just here play basketball and nothing else.
There's a lot that goes to it. And the only

(02:02:47):
way to get that with the place like the Lakers
or maybe the Spurs is to get some kind of leverage.
I think that's what this was a leverage play. As
we transition to the NFL. This news out of Baltimore,
Ravens g M as he knew, so I'm gonna step
down after the eighteen season, with Ravens owner Steve Baschatti
saying today that he actually did consider maybe making a
move at head coach, but John Harbaugh is gonna stick
around next season, and Baschetti did lend his support the

(02:03:10):
quarterback Joe Flacco in today's press conference. Um do you
think this was like One of the things I said is, hey,
this has been planned for a long time, right that
Ozzie knew some signed a five year extension and he's
been They've been grooming, grooming this guy to be the
general manager. Of the whole time. But let's also be honest.

(02:03:30):
The Joe Flacco contract, the bad recent draft picks. Ossie knew,
some who did a great job for a long time
has swung and missed a lot recently. It's not his
fault they didn't make this. Should have made playoffs anyway
this year. Um, but I kind of think that this
was though this was supposedly according to plan, feels like
the plan was sped up a little bit because of
because of some of the in and the biggest issue

(02:03:52):
I see is more of the support for Flacco than
anything else. I don't know how you can be fully
behind Joe Flacco we've seen as of late. Yeah, but
I don't know what's your other plane. You gotta go
draft day quarterback, Yeah, I would be. I would support
John Harball more than Joe Flacco. That's just me Joe Flacco. Yeah,
But Joel said that also means that maybe John Harball
was the one who supported Joe Flaco, and that's why

(02:04:13):
John Harbaugh is in the position that he's hid. Look,
he said he considered it. He didn't say they were
gonna do it. I think all things are considered, and
that's suppressed backing out there impressed. That was the press
by who are you taking? Buddy? You're hearing the chance
of the Eagles, and I just think that their past

(02:04:33):
rushing getting after Tom Brady is gonna cause problems. And
the toughest thing for New England to do is shut
down the Eagles running game. I like Philadelphia to win
on Sunday. I've said that all week. I liked him
as well. Music. You're gonna make a pick, I'm gonna
go opposite. I'm going Patriots, Brady and Belichick, John Ramos formula,
but back in I mean, like, look at it. Yeah,

(02:04:54):
you know, um Ramos, who you got. I'm gonna take
the Patriots as well. I'm with Ryan. I'm a millennial guy,
so I'll take what Ryan says out a boy, Ramos,
you're a millennial guy talking about because you're not a millennial.
No I'm not. But I like what they say. The
Ryan said the Patriots, I will say the Patriots and
also say ten seconds, all right, ten seconds. I'm gonna

(02:05:17):
take the Philadelphia Eagles. I'm with I'm with Dan. You know. Anyway,
We'll talk to you Monday. Enjoy the Super Bowl. Stuck
got lip show
