• Matthew Stafford becomes the oldest first-time NFL MVP, surpassing Y.A. Tittle by 272 days (02:47).

• The panel reflects on Cam Newton’s Hall of Fame candidacy—a lightning career with high peaks but perhaps insufficient longevity ([04:03]-06:28).

  • Dan Patrick: “It doesn’t appear that Cam would make the hall of Fame, but there has to be some type of designation like, man, that guy was a handful for a while.” ([05:44])
  • Mike Tirico: “He had seven really good years. But an MVP and a Super bowl appearance. Yes.” ([04:30])

MVP Odds for Next Year (06:53)

• Josh Allen is named favorite for next NFL MVP (followed by Lamar Jackson, Patrick Mahomes, and Justin Herbert).
• Noted how familiar some names are in MVP conversations: “I bet they’ve been top three for the last 10 years.” ([07:47] – Dan Patrick)

Interview: CeeDee Lamb (Dallas Cowboys)

Glam, Game, and the Life of a Cowboy

Starts: 07:49

• Opens with wardrobe banter—Lamb jokes about his expensive taste, especially in jewelry and grills.
• Discusses the competitive nature of the Pro Bowl’s flag football game:
  • “Everyone was like, all right, now let’s go win.” ([09:27] – Lamb)
• Admits there’s more pride in the Pro Bowl NFC/AFC rivalry than rooting for an NFC team in the Super Bowl ([10:00]–[10:04]).
• Talks about facing top defensive backs:
  • “Me, trouble? Nah.…I wouldn’t say not possible, it’s not probable.” ([10:42]–[11:05])

Spotlight on Stardom

• Lamb describes the unique scrutiny of being a Dallas Cowboy, likening it to living under a microscope:

  • “It’s almost like, I don’t really know, you walk outside your house and everyone’s already outside your house waiting on you to come out.” ([11:40])
  • “The pressure’s on every single time...We play good, it’s the greatest day on earth. We play bad, it’s the worst day you can have in your life.” ([11:40])

• Cowboy as “the Kardashians of the NFL?”

  • Lamb laughs off the comparison: “That’s a unique comparison.…I go, Kylie. I’m Kylie.” ([12:51]–[13:18])
  • On mistaken identity: “I’ve heard that all through high school. A little bit. I’ve heard young thug in high school, ASAP [Rocky] in college. I guess as I grow up, I change people.” ([13:34]–[13:45])

Brand Endorsement and Off-Field Aspirations

• Delivers a practiced, lighthearted plug for Old Spice’s new cologne-infused deodorant ([14:44]-[15:05]).
  • “The first thing you notice about someone…is how they smell….As for me, I love to smell good. Everyone knows that.” ([14:44])
• Open to acting after football: “I can, I want, I would love to. Honestly, I can see it in my future. Little drama, little suspense romance. I could do that.” ([15:24]-[15:34])
• On the Cowboys’ Super Bowl chances:
  • “We just got to put the pieces together. Right. As we know, our offense is fire. Our defense wasn’t as good, but once we combine those two things...get our defense together.” ([15:50])
  • On potentially restructuring his contract: “If it’s necessary…But I know [George Pickens is] going to get every opinion that he deserves here in Dallas.” ([16:22])
• Shares a colorful, funny anecdote about Micah Parsons’ energy—even when recovering from injury and using a scooter ([16:49]–[17:13]).

Closing Thoughts

• Mutual respect between Lamb and the broadcast panel, with friendly banter on team loyalties.
• Quirk: Lamb wears cologne-infused deodorant on the field so defenders “can get a whiff” as he blows past them ([18:46]-[19:01]).

Interview: Mike Tirico & Cris Collinsworth (Super Bowl 60 Broadcast Team)

Host & Analyst Banter

Starts: 28:10

  • “The single most asked question I’ve had in my career: Why do you hate the…” (Russo, [31:21])

Super Bowl 60 Storylines

• Tirico notes the absurdity that Patriots owner Robert Kraft and coach Bill Belichick aren’t yet in the Hall of Fame: “They’ve been to 12 now, which is insane, and they’re going for seven, which nobody’s done before.” ([32:47])

Hall of Fame Debates

• Group critiques the Hall of Fame voting process, especially the lack of transparency and the unofficial ‘first-ballot’ designation:
  • “There are some [candidates] that are just obvious and we should not be kicking out obvious.” ([35:26] – Russo)
  • “If you want to be a part of this, then I think probably your vote should come out.” ([36:19] – Collinsworth)

Behind the Broadcast Curtain—Super Bowl Nerves

• Collinsworth gets candid about the nerves and pressure of broadcasting to 130 million people:

  • “It’s just surreal almost to think about…you are the only person on America’s television for 130 million people. So now you’ve got to deflect.” ([36:49])

• Live TV’s unpredictability:

  • “Mistakes are going to happen…It’s part of the human factor. I think it’s why people are drawn to live television.” (Russo, [40:01])
  • Collinsworth: "No backspace, no editor. You just got to do it." ([40:42])

[Mike Tirico]

Final hour of the final show this super bowl week here in San Francisco. Again, thank you to the San Francisco Giants for their hospitality and all the great crowds who have shown up early and often here in, well, it's the China Basin. It's McCovey Cove on the other side of McCovey Cove. We'll talk to CD Lamb of the Cowboys. Also Chris Collinsworth, Mike Tirico. They'll be calling Super Bowl 60. All of that coming up here in the final hour of the program. 877.3DP show. Try to sneak in a couple more phone calls. Good morning. If you're watching on Peacock or the NBC Sports Network, Matthew Stafford became the oldest first time MVP winner in NFL history. Y.A. tittle won the 1963 MVP and he was 272 days younger than Matthew Stafford. Also this Super Bowl. Oh, we have a running group coming through here. Hi guys. That bad boy is blasting.

[Dan Patrick]

Oh my gosh, they're getting ready for Sunday.

[Mike Tirico]

Super Bowl 60 will be the second Super bowl hosted at Levi Stadium. The Broncos beat the Panthers 2410. Todd.

[CD Lamb]

Yeah, they did.

[Mike Tirico]

Yeah. Seven sacks, four takeaways. If Cam Newton had won that super bowl, would he be an MVP or would he be. He was an mvp. Would he be a Hall of Famer? Because I don't. He's up for the hall of Fame first time next year. I don't think he's going to be a Hall of Famer. He had seven really good years. But an MVP and a Super bowl appearance. Yes.

[Dan Patrick]

Mark, I feel like him and Matt.

[CD Lamb]

Ryan are in the same category. Like a Super bowl win would have.

[Dan Patrick]

Really helped their case for the hall of Fame.

[Mike Tirico]

Matt's got more Pro Bowls. He had more sustained goodness greatness than Cam did. Cam. Cam's highlight, you know, the big stat is rushing touchdowns. But I think Josh Allen's already surpassed that. And I thought, you know, if you get to 80 touchdowns rushing. Yeah.

[Dan Patrick]

Paulie Cam also had almost 6,000 yards rushing.

[Mike Tirico]

Yeah.

[Dan Patrick]

In a not long, long career.

[Mike Tirico]

That's one of those more designed runs probably would have helped him. But I go back to that season opener the following year where Carolina plays Denver and I'm down on the field because we were doing Football Night in America and the Broncos beat the hell out of Cam Newton like it was. I, I don't want to go as far as, say, cheap shots, but man, you could have read into it. They hit him and hit him often and it showed. You know, I don't care how big you are, and if you're around Cam, you go, damn. He played quarterback, but still these guys are coming at you all different angles and they pounded him in that game. Yes.

[Dan Patrick]

Paulie, I'm looking at some numbers. It's a mess metrics. And it doesn't appear that Cam would make the hall of Fame, but there has to be some type of designation like, man, that guy was a handful for a while.

[Mike Tirico]

Yeah.

[Dan Patrick]

I don't know if that's an actual award, but there was about a four year window where he was a handful.

[Mike Tirico]

To deal with and he had one of the great until Jaden Daniels. He had maybe the greatest rookie season in Carolina, you know, with the help of Steve Smith. Yes. Yeah.

[Dan Patrick]

It's like having one of the most dominant seasons of all time isn't enough. But it kind of feels like it.

[Mike Tirico]

Should be, but maybe not.

[Dan Patrick]

You know, it's like the. His window maybe wasn't long enough.

[Mike Tirico]

Yeah.

[Dan Patrick]

You know, and which feels unfair because he was so good in that window.

[Mike Tirico]

But also we look at quarterback and you have to have kind of like 10 years and if Cam had seven really good. I mean, I. It just feels like at that position we expect more out of you than a running back or any other position. Yes.

[Dan Patrick]

He doesn't seem to get any injury. Benefit of doubt where there are some. I mean, he was hurt for a lot of his career and there's a lot of people that were like, man, if it wasn't for injuries, he would have been better. Cam doesn't get that same benefit of the doubt of.

[Mike Tirico]

It's too bad he was injured so much because he was great, but he didn't get the career ending injury like Terrell Davis that you. If Cam Newton got injured after seven years. I wonder if they grade him differently. Who will win the MVP next season? In case you're wondering, I got the odds before we get to CD Lamb. Marvin, I'll start with you. Best odds to win the MVP next year.

[Dan Patrick]

Josh Allen.

[Mike Tirico]

Bloop.

[Chris Collinsworth]

Wow.

[Mike Tirico]

Second best odds to win mvp.

[Dan Patrick]

Paul Patrick. Mahomes.

[Mike Tirico]

No. Todd Bo Nixon, obviously.

[Dan Patrick]

Justin Herbert.

[Mike Tirico]

It's. It's Lamar Jackson. Whoa. Then you have Mahomes, Herbert and Burrow and Drake May. All with the same odds. I bet you that list.

[Dan Patrick]

Maybe Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson. I bet they've been top three.

[Mike Tirico]

Yeah.

[Dan Patrick]

For the last 10 years.

[Mike Tirico]

Yeah, you're right. CD Lamb stopped by yesterday after the show, joining us on behalf of Old Spice. And I started the interview by saying, you look like a million bucks. Do you have a million bucks of jewelry on today?

[CD Lamb]

I don't.

[Mike Tirico]

No, I don't.

[CD Lamb]

I wish I did.

[Mike Tirico]

What's the most expense expensive thing you got on you?

[CD Lamb]

Probably my watch, but we don't have to go into numbers.

[Mike Tirico]

And then now you got the teeth matching the earrings, man.

[CD Lamb]

You know, Expensive taste a little bit, but, like, it was worth it a little bit.

[Mike Tirico]

Yeah.

[CD Lamb]

I smile a lot. I want to show my teeth.

[Mike Tirico]

I don't think I could get by with that.

[CD Lamb]

No, it's okay. No, it's okay. I'll wear for the both of us.

[Mike Tirico]

Yeah. I was curious about the competitiveness of the flag football game, honestly.

[CD Lamb]

So this is how it goes. Like, obviously, it's going to be a long game. We realized it was 12 minutes, 4 quarters. 12 minutes per quarter, right?

[Mike Tirico]

Yeah.

[CD Lamb]

It was a running clock. The clock goes on, but it. It wasn't moving as fast. So we like, all right, we're going to be here a while. Felt like a real football game, you know, and then it started to pick up, as you realize, it started to pick up after halftime. So the first two quarters is, like, kind of methodical in a way. But then the game started picking up after the. In the second half.

[Mike Tirico]

Who is the most competitive out there.

[CD Lamb]

As far as team or Claire? Oh, everybody on the nfc. I know that for a fact. I feel like we started locking in.

[Mike Tirico]

Really?

[CD Lamb]

Yeah, it got serious towards the end. Like, once the fourth quarter began, everyone was like, all right, now let's go win.

[Mike Tirico]

Looks like Dak gave a speech, didn't he?

[CD Lamb]

It's a good time. It was a good time. Yeah, I always do.

[Mike Tirico]

So the pride takes over of the NFC versus the afc.

[CD Lamb]

Yeah, I feel like it does. The afc, they just. They just can't pull it off. It's all them, though, you know. Good. Good to have you to come compete, build a great, you know, bond with us. But at the end of the day, the NFC know we control the traffic.

[Mike Tirico]

Are you rooting then for Seattle because they're the NFC in the Super Bowl?

[CD Lamb]

No, that doesn't go the same way as the Pro Bowls.

[Mike Tirico]

Do you care who wins?

[CD Lamb]

Honestly, no, I don't. But congrats to them, though, because obviously they worked so hard to be here, and obviously I wish me and my team was there. So, like, There's a bit of jealousy, you know, but they, again, they deserved it. They worked hard, they stayed healthy. They did everything they need to do throughout the season. So congrats to whoever wins and whoever loses. I know it feels pretty bad, but it's good to be here.

[Mike Tirico]

Is there a defensive back that gives you trouble?

[CD Lamb]

Me, trouble? Nah.

[Mike Tirico]

Nobody?

[CD Lamb]

Nah. But I will say, it's like there's a lot of good DBs out there. You know, you got Pastor Tane, you got Denzel Ward, you got Derek Stingley, you got guards of that nature. You got Tariq Woodland, who's now in the. In the Super Bowl. Christian Gonzalez. I named all that. If you realize I named a lot of AFC DBs, I feel like they're pretty nice.

[Mike Tirico]

But nobody gave you. No, no, no, not possible.

[CD Lamb]

I wouldn't say not possible. It's not probable.

[Mike Tirico]

Did any of these guys talk to you?

[CD Lamb]

Yeah, I mean, they have a couple. We have a couple chit chats. It's nothing crazy. It's like, you got to give me some work. You're not giving me nothing. You know, that's all it is. It'd be short and brief, you know, like, let's get to it. Like, I'm bored, you know, like.

[Mike Tirico]

Can you let our audience know what it's like, though, to be a cowboy where you're the most famous franchise? Everything you do is under a microscope during the game, after the game, and, you know, social life, all of that.

[CD Lamb]

Yeah, it's a bit unique. I feel like it's one of one. It's something that you much more have to experience than I can give you the experience, you know, like, for me, it's gonna be much different than anyone else because I feel like, obviously, the. I'm living under a microscope, and I feel like everything that I do is emphasize a lot. Right. So, I mean, you get used to it as you. As you continue to. To. To build on the culture, understand what's going on, the scenery, the team getting a feel for how we do things. But, man, it's tough. It's almost like, I don't really know, you walk outside your house and everyone's already outside your house waiting on you to come out. It's almost like an expected appearance, you know? So for us, there's expectation that's built off the history that we've had and we gotta uphold. So I feel like for us, the pressure's on every single time that we line up or that we're continuing to get the band together to work towards this. Championship. So everything's going to be overemphasized. We play good, it's a. It's the greatest day on earth. We play bad, it's the worst day you can have in your life, you know? So I feel like for us, you got to keep that even, that even line, stay neutral and just enjoy it because, I mean, you don't get really too many experiences. How you get in Dallas.

[Mike Tirico]

Are you guys like the Kardashians of the NFL?

[CD Lamb]

That's a, that's a unique comparison.

[Mike Tirico]

And if so, who are you?

[CD Lamb]

See, I can't just give myself a comparison of a woman. Right? Is that.

[Mike Tirico]

Well, no, just the popular, like, are you Kim? Are you famous?

[CD Lamb]

I might be. No, Dag is Kim. Kim is the most famous one.

[Mike Tirico]

Yeah.

[CD Lamb]

So who's it?

[Mike Tirico]

Chloe or Chloe or.

[CD Lamb]

I go, Kylie. I'm Kylie.

[Mike Tirico]

Oh, you're Kylie. You know, I see. Who are you mistaken for? For people think you're somebody else every now and then.

[CD Lamb]

Not really now, though. Who do you. Who do you. Who do you.

[Chris 'Mad Dog' Russo]

What's your take asap?

[CD Lamb]

Yeah, I've heard that all through high school. A little bit. A little bit. I've heard young thug in high school, asap. College. I guess as I grow up, I change people.

[Mike Tirico]

But that's not bad.

[CD Lamb]

I mean, I guess it's a little.

[Mike Tirico]

Yeah, I mean, he's a good looking guy.

[CD Lamb]

No, no. Crazy, you know.

[Mike Tirico]

Appreciate that. CD Lamb joining us on behalf of Old Spice, the new cologne infused. Do you know, Let me hear the. The pitch here. Okay, I'm ready.

[Dan Patrick]

I'm ready.

[CD Lamb]

I'm in practice for this.

[Mike Tirico]

You're nervous. You're more nervous with this.

[CD Lamb]

No, there's someone here that's a little more nervous than me, but okay.

[Mike Tirico]

[CD Lamb]

[CD Lamb]

Okay. Are you going to give it to me again?

[Mike Tirico]

Okay, here we go. Okay. All right. There we go. Okay, the Cowboys CD Lamb joins us on behalf of Old Spice and their new cologne, Infused.

[CD Lamb]

Absolutely. The first thing you notice about someone, right, is how they smell. Like it's going to. It's going to take over a room. Right? So Old Spice, New Spice, Alchemist, deodorant. It helps you smell like you're wearing an expensive cologne. Like, as for me, I love to smell good. Everyone knows that. So when I'm walking out the house, I want to feel Fresh. I want to feel inviting, like I want people, you know?

[Mike Tirico]

Yeah.

[CD Lamb]

So for me, it's just using. You see my baby right here. I have my cashmere and vanilla wood cologne infused deodorant right here. You guys should try it. Give it a. You know, give it a try.

[Dan Patrick]

[Mike Tirico]

There you go.

[Dan Patrick]

Thank you.

[Mike Tirico]

Yeah.

[CD Lamb]

Good. About that one.

[Mike Tirico]

I could see you doing movies.

[CD Lamb]

I can. I want. I would love to. I'll let it try. Honestly, I can see it in my future.

[Mike Tirico]

Okay. Like action hero. Yeah.

[CD Lamb]

Little drama, little suspense romance. I could be that. I could do that. I could be very romant.

[Mike Tirico]

Okay. I just want to make sure. How close are the Cowboys to being in a game like this?

[CD Lamb]

I feel like we're very close. We just got to. We got to put the pieces together. Right. As we know, our offense is fire. Our defense wasn't as good, but once we combine those two things, we got a couple pieces that we need to bring back offensively. And I'm pretty sure everybody here knows exactly who I'm talking about. But yeah, get our defense together.

[Mike Tirico]

And is George coming back?

[CD Lamb]

He has no choice. I say that.

[Mike Tirico]

Oh.

[CD Lamb]

This is my opinion.

[Mike Tirico]

But you're not going to give up any of your. You're not going to defer any of your money or restructure to bring George in.

[CD Lamb]

I mean, if it's necessary. Oh, honestly.

[Mike Tirico]

Okay.

[CD Lamb]

I'm pretty. I'm. I'm pretty good. But I know he's going to get every opinion that he deserves here in Dallas.

[Mike Tirico]

When's the last time you talked to Micah Parsons?

[CD Lamb]

Yesterday.

[Mike Tirico]

Oh.

[CD Lamb]

And Micah is inside. I mean, he was here at the Pro Bowl. So we're here. We're here since Saturday. I want to say, what's today? I lose track of days.

[Mike Tirico]

Thursday.

[CD Lamb]

Oh, wow. We were here for some time, huh?

[Mike Tirico]

Okay, wait, what's been going on these other days?

[CD Lamb]

Did a lot of Pro bowl work. Just practice communicating with the guys, hotel movements. It's been a lot. It's been a lot. Okay. But it's been a great time. It's been a great experience. And, yeah, I was with Michael. You know, he's on his little scooter and he's real active. I've never seen someone so active and so, like, energetic and a problem on a scooter.

[Mike Tirico]

He got kicked off the field.

[CD Lamb]

Yeah. Because he wanted to get on the field and score a touchdown. You know what? It's Micah. It's Micah.

[Mike Tirico]

[CD Lamb]

[Mike Tirico]

Not a Cowboy fan, though.

[CD Lamb]

It's all right.

[Mike Tirico]

Yeah. I mean, but I know. Like, we know, right?

[CD Lamb]

Yeah, it's all right. Safe here. I've met a lot of people that says they're not Cowboys fans, which is cool. And, I mean, everybody has their fair share of both, right? Like, everybody has a different team.

[Mike Tirico]

Well, I can't root for anybody. I gotta be neutral overall.

[CD Lamb]

So you don't have.

[Mike Tirico]

No, I don't have a team.

[CD Lamb]

I feel like you do.

[Mike Tirico]

No, I. I do not. Now they all have teams.

[CD Lamb]

Okay.

[Mike Tirico]

Okay.

[Chris 'Mad Dog' Russo]

Okay.

[Mike Tirico]

Bronco, Patriot, Bear, Niners.

[CD Lamb]

How long? Who's the Patriot fan here? How long, man?

[Dan Patrick]

That's an interesting question. As soon as I found it to be really funny to be the Patriots fan, so probably 18 years, I guess. Yeah.

[Mike Tirico]

He just didn't jump on the band.

[CD Lamb]

Okay. That's what I was assuming because, I mean, Tom has been doing a great job for some time. Yeah, mine, too.

[Mike Tirico]

Thanks for joining us.

[CD Lamb]

No, my pleasure.

[Mike Tirico]

Good luck. Yeah. And, you know, you got it down, you know. Did you practice in the. In front of the mirror today with Old Spice?

[CD Lamb]

A little bit. Rehearsal this morning.

[Mike Tirico]

I. That's the way to do it. It's just like a game plan.

[CD Lamb]

Yeah, it's just like practice. You can't go in with your game plan and not practicing and be as confident. So.

[Mike Tirico]

Do you wear cologne on the field when you play?

[CD Lamb]

No. I mean, I wear this.

[Mike Tirico]

Oh, you wear the old school.

[CD Lamb]

I wear this. And I smell like I do. I'm running right by him.

[Mike Tirico]

So they. Can.

[Dan Patrick]

They.

[Mike Tirico]

Can they get a whiff of you as you.

[CD Lamb]

Exactly.

[Dan Patrick]

You get it.

[CD Lamb]

You picking up? What? I'm down.

[Mike Tirico]

Oh, no, I got it. Oh, I got it. Yeah, I'm picking it up. I'm picking it up.

[CD Lamb]

It's not.

[Mike Tirico]

I'm. I'm picking it up. Like, I. I'm too old to pick it up.

[CD Lamb]

Yeah. Nice little toss.

[Mike Tirico]

Little. Picking it up. He's CD Lamb of the Cowboys, joining us on behalf of Old Spice. He was fun. He was surprisingly animated. And he looks like a star. Like, he had the teeth and he had the jewelry in his ears, and then decked out with a watch, came out wearing sweatpants.

[Dan Patrick]

It was like, look how awesome this guy is.

[Mike Tirico]

And the fact that he said he'd restructure his contract if it meant George Pickens could come back. But he was fun. He is. He's a future star out of football. All right, we'll take a break here.

[Mike Tirico]

Then we'll bring you our conversation with Mike Tirico and Chris Collinsworth. Michael in Oregon. Hey, Mike, what's on your mind today? Hi, Dan. I'm sorry to kind of take a swerve toward the serious here, but I wanted to talk about colonoscopies. I made a grand mistake. When I was in my 50s.

[Chris 'Mad Dog' Russo]

I thought I was pretty super healthy.

[Mike Tirico]

I was running, I was doing vegetarian, et cetera.

[Chris Collinsworth]

And so in my head I said.

[Mike Tirico]

Well, I'll do it when I'm 60. Well, at 58, guess what? I got colorectal cancer and stage 3B was really aggressive and it was horrible. I have an ostomy now. They cut into me and it's horrible to talk about, but what I want to encourage people and Bo Jackson, what a hero. Oh, God. To get this out there, kids, if you've got any symptoms, go.

[Chris 'Mad Dog' Russo]

I had symptoms when I was 55.

[Mike Tirico]

Dean, and I didn't pay attention to them. And I what an error. But the irony of the whole thing maybe my wife has an ostomy. I met her through an ostomy site. So I wouldn't have met her if I wouldn't have got cancer. That'll blow your mind. But anyway, well, thank you for the phone call. The reaction to the Bo Jackson interview was great, but the reaction should be that you're going to get tested, whether it's colonoscopy or prostate cancer or both. And do not wait until you're 50. Please do not wait. We just did a PSA for prostate cancer and we're all going to be tested. I just had my blood tested for prostate cancer because I had raised levels there and everything came back and it was fine. But as Bo Jackson said, and he had not told anybody, he had prostate cancer surgery three months ago. But coming on to give the awareness to that and it shouldn't take that, but sometimes it does when somebody you know, heroic, legendary, like Bo Jackson, says, hey, even me, I can get prostate cancer. But make sure you get screened. Please make sure you get screened. Mike Tirico, Chris Collinsworth, they'll be on the call for the Super Bowl. They sat down with us a couple of days ago. It'll be the first super bowl for Mike Tirico on the call. And that's where I started our conversation.

[Chris Collinsworth]

First for me.

[Mike Tirico]

Okay. And then Mr. Patriot in the Super Bowl?

[Chris Collinsworth]

Yes.

[Mike Tirico]

What is this, the. The fifth Patriot super bowl you've done?

[Chris 'Mad Dog' Russo]

Is that unbelievable or what?

[Mike Tirico]

Just a coincidence, of course.

[Chris 'Mad Dog' Russo]

Well, maybe not. You never know. You know, I'm unpopular a lot of places. Maybe I can be popular there. You never know.

[Mike Tirico]

Okay, where are you least unpopular?

[Chris 'Mad Dog' Russo]

Philadelphia.

[Mike Tirico]

Okay. No, no.

[Chris 'Mad Dog' Russo]

Grand champion.

[Mike Tirico]

Did you earn it? Of course.

[Chris 'Mad Dog' Russo]

A thousand percent.

[Dan Patrick]

Yes.

[Mike Tirico]

And where are you most popular?

[Chris 'Mad Dog' Russo]

You would think Cincinnati. Although that really is not the case at all. Although I. I do think I'm making a comeback in a few places.

[Mike Tirico]

Okay.

[Chris 'Mad Dog' Russo]

In a few places.

[Mike Tirico]

They.

[Chris Collinsworth]

Like in Kansas City.

[Chris 'Mad Dog' Russo]

Yeah.

[Mike Tirico]

Yeah.

[Chris 'Mad Dog' Russo]

They think I, you know, overly love Patrick.

[Chris Collinsworth]

Yeah, you can say it.

[Mike Tirico]

Yeah. Do you overly love Patrick Mahomes?

[Chris 'Mad Dog' Russo]

Well, now I'm like. It's like getting to be entertainment. So we're taking advantage of it now. Like, now I'm looking for memes. I'm like, God, what did I do to Patrick this week? You know, it's like. It's. I'm his boy, I guess.

[CD Lamb]

I don't know.

[Mike Tirico]

Do you have the. Have you drawn the ire of any fan base, Mike?

[Chris Collinsworth]

Not yet, no. I just let Chris take those bullets, and it's good for me that way.

[Mike Tirico]

Why does Joe Buck run into that?

[Chris Collinsworth]

I don't know. It's so wrong, too, that.

[Mike Tirico]

That.

[Chris Collinsworth]

That actually angers me because Joe's not like that at all.

[Mike Tirico]

Wait, it angers.

[Chris Collinsworth]

Anger me. Joe's the best.

[Chris 'Mad Dog' Russo]

Yeah, but Joe's like a smart aleck, you know? Like he. He's not gonna take. He could be in the last 30 seconds of the super bowl and what? And he. If something comes to his brain, you know what he used to do? This is no kidding.

[Chris Collinsworth]

So you were with Troy and Joe for the first Super Bowl. Super bowl, right.

[Chris 'Mad Dog' Russo]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. In Jacksonville. But he would go in and we're sitting there, we go in these production meetings, and the support assistant coach would come in there and. And we'd be asking questions, Troy and I trying to break down the game and the whole thing. And Joe's got his card out, you know, he's like, it's very serious. Make a note. And doing it, all that. And then he would, the coach would get up and leave the room. And then Joe, who does great impersonations, would do an impersonation of the coach he had just met leaving the room, talking about how incredibly stupid I am as a coach. And why would you ask me these? I mean, just like stand up comedy routines. So there's a reason why, you know, fans, they catch on.

[Mike Tirico]

Yeah, but do you listen like social media? Does it, you know, bring attention to things that are important. Important to you, that maybe you didn't realize that you're. What you're saying during a game or not saying during a game?

[Chris Collinsworth]

I think every once in a while you get caught making a mistake. And that's, that's fine, that's legit. But most of the criticism is there's a direct correlation with who loses the game and who's angry at you on social media. But I think what we all want to do is play by play, guys, at least you want to get on social media. Well, you, maybe you don't want to, but if you get on, you want somebody to say, you're, you're so pro Rams. And then the next tweet to say, you are so up the Bears. You know what? You know, like, okay, fine, then I did a great job and I'm gonna leave tonight happy. That's who you are.

[Chris 'Mad Dog' Russo]

That's the single most asked question I've had in my career. Why do you hate the. And then whoever follows after that, and, and so why do you hate the. Whatever the, the Rams. And you know, you try to answer it, but it's like, there's no way to answer that. Like, why do you hate the. And I was like, you know, what's your favorite team? Well, the Rams, but. And I said, do you. I hate. Anybody else? They go, no, just the Rams. I've listened to you a long time. You just hate the Rams. I'm like, okay, all right, I'll work on it.

[Mike Tirico]

It's the team calling Super Bowl 60 this Sunday. Mike Tirico calling his first super bowl and Chris Collins worth calling his sixth, fifth, involving the Patriots. The storyline going into this game will be what for you, Mike?

[Chris Collinsworth]

That's a good one. Because there's not one of those. Here's Brady going for his third or his fourth or sixth or anything like that. I, I think, I think for me it is, can this New England team, which we're so familiar with, they're the best Party guests at the super bowl, they're always here. Can this New England team with a new era win the old Patriots way? Defense, quarterback, don't make a mistake, get in a close game and. And find a way to win. I. To me, that is. It's really magnetic what this team has done in a short period of time. It doesn't mean to be east coast biased, but I just feel like that national brand and all their success, and they've been to 12 now, which is insane, and they're going for seven, which.

[Mike Tirico]

Nobody'S done before, and the owner can't get in the hall of Fame or.

[Chris Collinsworth]

The coach who won the six. How about that, silly. It really is okay.

[Mike Tirico]

Which one's crazier that the owner with 11 or the coach with 6?

[Chris 'Mad Dog' Russo]

They're both so stupid, I can barely stand it. I. I mean, why do we have a Hall of Fame then? Is the hall of Fame not supposed to be about who are the best teams and coaches and owners and all? Like. But it makes no sense.

[Chris Collinsworth]

But we have to understand the group that was voting, they can't vote everyone in, right? So there were decisions that had to be made. Were guys going to be up for their last time and all that, which speaks to the larger issue of what they're trying to do. The whole first ballot hall of Fame thing is great conversation. You guys have crushed that conversation over the years, both sports. I mean, you know how circular is the, the Pete Rose, the Barry Bonds conversation on the baseball side. But of course, these guys are hall of Famers, so.

[Mike Tirico]

But are they being punished for cheating?

[Chris 'Mad Dog' Russo]

I just told you, I'm making up ground with the people in New England. I'm not giving it up now.

[Mike Tirico]

Well, Mike, I can ask you. Nobody hates you, so there we go.

[Chris 'Mad Dog' Russo]

You answer this question.

[Chris Collinsworth]

Let's start this way. If they are, that's wrong. I. I don't know what's in the mind of the people voting. So I voted on the AP All Pro team and MVP and all that. And I didn't do it this year because starting the NBA, I didn't feel like I had the time to do it the right way. And Chris can tell you, like, voting for the left guard who's all pro is hard, but that's historic stuff. That's the stuff that are benchmarks for a career if you have the time to do it the right way. I believe that all the people doing the hall of Fame voting really invest in it and spend time in it. But it's. It's a. It's a hard nut to crack when you're trying to justify. Did everybody do this the right way?

[Mike Tirico]

Well, I don't want them changing the rules. The process, during the process. You want to change the system, Change the system. But don't say, I'm not going to vote for Kraft and Belichick because they're going to get in. Let me try to get these other guys in. That's a flawed system.

[Chris Collinsworth]

And the, the outcry from the people who are in the game about Belichick not getting in, that tells me that the system needs adjustment.

[Chris 'Mad Dog' Russo]

Yeah, it sure does.

[Mike Tirico]

You got suggestions there?

[Chris 'Mad Dog' Russo]

I, I mean, to me, it's like when something, you know, it's. What's the old saying? Think long, think wrong. Like, if you're thinking about the other stuff, like, I'm a football fan. Should Bill Belichick and Robert Kraft be in the hall of Fame?

[Mike Tirico]

Yeah. Period.

[Chris 'Mad Dog' Russo]

I mean, you know, okay, everything else I get, you know, there's a. But the bottom line is there are some that are just obvious and we should not be kicking out obvious. Now, if you wanted to throw them out of the league and you want to say Deflategate or whatever at the time and whatever, you know, suspended or whatever the case may be, you know, they did that with Pete Rose and that was all a part of that arrangement. But if it's not part of that arrangement, then it's just silliness.

[Mike Tirico]

Well, then how do you vote for them next year if they're a cheater? Are they. There's still a cheater. If that's, if that was your logic here, can you then say, well, I punish them. It was a one year in hall of Fame jail.

[Chris Collinsworth]

But Dan, there's no why on the ballot. Right? It's just I vote so that person who may have thought that doesn't have to admit that should and next time can go, hey, you know what? The rest of the people said he should be in. Maybe I was wrong and I'll change my vote.

[Mike Tirico]

Should there be transparency?

[Chris Collinsworth]

What is transparency mean? Who voted against? Well, there has been. Now with all these all star teams, all these all pro teams, those, those ballots now come out and that makes you think differently about what you put down. And you've got to be able to defend. Okay, why did you vote for so and so as the best left guard in the NFL or the second best left guard? So if you want to be a part of this, then I think probably your vote should come out.

[Mike Tirico]

How nervous do you get on Super Bowl Sunday, Chris? Compare that. To when you played.

[Chris 'Mad Dog' Russo]

I mean, you and I sat in a room in Minnesota and had dinner one night, the night before the game, and we talked about this a little bit. It's like, you know, it's. It's just surreal almost to think about 130 million people watching you. And you are the only person on America's television for 130 million people. So now you've got to deflect. You've got to think of ways to where that's not going to make you cry, you know, on ear.

[Chris Collinsworth]

Why did you say that?

[Chris 'Mad Dog' Russo]

What?

[Chris Collinsworth]

I had not thought of it that way until just now. I'm going to go for a. I'm a little McCovey's Cove, little row in a boat by myself and think now.

[Chris 'Mad Dog' Russo]

But, but, but. Yeah, it does. And the nice thing is. And it's just like playing in the game. I remember when we. My very first Super Bowl, Diana Ross sang the national anthem. And she walked right in front of our bench. I mean, Diana Ross walked that close in front of me, and I'm just. And that's when Diana Ross was Diana Ross now. I mean, this is an amazing woman.

[Dan Patrick]

Done.

[Chris Collinsworth]

Get to the store.

[Chris 'Mad Dog' Russo]

Get to the point quick.

[Dan Patrick]

Go.

[Chris 'Mad Dog' Russo]

But it was. So we're all sitting there with our mouths open, you know, and she's going. And we go in at halftime. We're down 20 to nothing. I still think it's the Diana. If she'd have walked in front of the end of the 49ers bench.

[Mike Tirico]

Okay. You don't know what this is going to be like.

[Chris Collinsworth]

I have no idea.

[Mike Tirico]

But is that good? How do you use that to your advantage?

[Chris Collinsworth]

I've never worried about how many people were watching when I was doing a 2:00am Sports center with you or I.

[Mike Tirico]

Didn'T do the 2:00am Like, I'm sorry.

[Chris 'Mad Dog' Russo]

He was a Hall of Famer.

[Chris Collinsworth]

The Wednesday 1am off the baseball double header when Chris Myers wasn't going to be there.

[Chris 'Mad Dog' Russo]

It was.

[Mike Tirico]

It was us. Yeah.

[Chris Collinsworth]

Yeah. And Overman showed up. Didn't call in for work.

[Dan Patrick]

No.

[Chris Collinsworth]

You know, I. I've never really gotten into that numbers thing. And I do remember before halftime, we did Super Bowl 56. The pregame halftime, post game. You know, I remember working with Drew Brees and Tony Dungy, like, okay, guys, we've got 110 million people. Let's make sure we direct 58 seconds of content here the right way. I probably shouldn't have said Drew's, like.

[Mike Tirico]

Really supposed to do that.

[Chris Collinsworth]

Exactly, exactly. So that. That doesn't that doesn't worry me or bother me. I'm not. I'm hopeful that that's not going to be in my mind. I think the anticipation is great. The adrenaline rush is cool. But, you know, doing the super bowl trophy presentations, which you've done, doing the Olympics, all that stuff, it's just. It's. It's the show, but it's just another show. I can't change what people are doing. And the other part that's good is the couple of years I've gone to super bowl parties. Nobody's listening to us. I mean, half of that audience is not hanging on your every word. They're talking to somebody.

[Mike Tirico]

They're getting dip.

[Chris Collinsworth]

They want to. They want to fuel up for the game. So those 120 million, half of them are engaged in some more important conversation.

[Chris 'Mad Dog' Russo]

How many of them are you ever going to meet? You know, you're not going to meet 130 million people out there. You know, they got social media. They can all bombard you with something.

[Chris Collinsworth]

They will.

[Chris 'Mad Dog' Russo]

But, I mean, the. The bottom line is, it's just like playing in the game. Mistakes are going to happen. You know, I. I've been doing this for a long time. I have never called a perfect game. I never come close to calling them, and I'm not calling a perfect game in this one either. But it's. It's part of the human factor. I think it's why people are drawn to live television in any way. You know, the Grammy Awards, the Academy Awards, like, there's no control. Like, we truly could kind of say anything when we're. Which is really frightening in some ways. But it's. It's the energy that comes from live television that doesn't exist anywhere else.

[Chris Collinsworth]

No doubt. No backspace, no editor.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah.

[Chris Collinsworth]

You just got to do it. You can't screw it. But the pursuit of the perfect game is what inspires me. I still think there's a perfect game out there. Now, if you do pitch a perfect.

[Chris 'Mad Dog' Russo]

Game, we need another partner. This ain't happening here.

[Chris Collinsworth]

That's good. So now I'm nerve. Now I'm going to be nervous, and now I'm giving up on the perfect game. So it's a fun super bowl week with Chris. It really is.

[Mike Tirico]

Don't screw it up. We're all counting on you. Okay. And I'm gonna try to listen to a little bit of it.

[Chris Collinsworth]

Just a little bit.

[Mike Tirico]

Yeah, Just a little bit. Thank you, guys.

[Chris Collinsworth]

Thank you, pal.

[CD Lamb]

Thank you.

[Mike Tirico]

I am going to take The Seattle Seahawks 2413 over the Patriots 24 13. Sam Darnold MVP Even though the defense will shine, they'll give it to Sam Darnold. Anybody going Patriots Seaton straight up no points.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, I'll take the Patriots. I do think that the sort of wild card that things that people might not be talking about enough is will Campbell's struggles in this postseason. He's been a little bit of a leaky valve out there, and I think that's going to be a big problem.

[Mike Tirico]

Also, Drake May getting sacked 15 times here, so. Thank you, Will. Yeah, fumble issues as well. But I. I think Drake May's got to play a perfect game.

[Dan Patrick]

He had like eight or ten quarters in a row. I think with a turnover, something crazy like that, where he had like, like in, you know, 10 quarters, he had eight turnovers or something.

[Mike Tirico]

Just got an update. As of 8.45Pacific Time, the current get in price per ticket, including fees, is 3, $800. That's down $620 over the last day. $1600 over the last week. $2600 since the conference championships. Yes.

[Dan Patrick]

Does that normally happen or is it just because it's getting closer to the game?

[Mike Tirico]

Well, I'd say yeah, they. They put a price, and then people are like, I don't want to miss out and you don't want to come out here and get stuck so you get your tickets. But I always tell people, wait as long as you can because you'll find somebody who wants to offload tickets if you're willing to play that game. The Giants, unbelievable. They've been fantastic all week. They gave us the opportunity to set up shop here. By the way, opening night here at Oracle. It'll be the Yankees and Giants, and that'll be March 25th. You can find your [e-mail] opening night. Also, they wanted us to make mention of Jeff Kent hall of Fame ceremony. They will retire as jersey number 21. That'll be August 29th, a Saturday. So many people to thank. I'm going to start with the big German who came out numerous times for a site survey. And he was actually FaceTiming me and he said, what do you think? And as soon as I saw the View, I said, absolutely, absolutely. He drove the TV truck out. We had the Penske truck that we brought out. His brother Jay helping us. Joe and Rachel, they create the sets that we have. You know, Rachel, by the way, pregnant with twins. Congratulations. Wow. That's major news, Barry. Yes, yes. So Rachel.

[Dan Patrick]

If she could give birth in the next six minutes, that'd be good tv. Wow.

[Mike Tirico]

August. August, we're due. August we're due. But Rachel did all of this, all the designs.

[Dan Patrick]

Ryan, who handles more things than I Even want to know about. But thank you to him, our camera people. A lot of these guys have worked with us for over 10 years.

[Dan Patrick]

I got this day in sports history for you, Dan.

[Mike Tirico]

Okay.

[Dan Patrick]

Patriots defeated the Eagles 2005, 24, 21, and Super Bowl XXXIX. It was a third win in four years for the Patriots.

[Mike Tirico]

Okay. Michael Jordan won the slam dunk contest on this date, 1988, earning a 50 on his final dunk. Was that in Chicago? Yeah, that's that Home court.

[Dan Patrick]

Come on.

[Mike Tirico]

Dominic was 8. Dominique deserve the slam dunk contest championship. Absolutely. Seaton, you want to give us the final results of the poll question? Yeah. If you're a neutral, who are you rooting for?

[Dan Patrick]

That's hovering still at about 82% are with the Seahawks. And the greatest NFL play with the name Immaculate Conception. Immaculate Reception.

[Mike Tirico]

I got Rachel on my mind. Rachel. Yeah, Rachel. Rachel and Joe. The Immaculate Consent. The Immaculate Race reception is about 46% of that vote. All right, favorite moment of the week, Todd.

[Dan Patrick]

The crazy enthusiasm in person of Chris Mad Dog Russo, who's been great with his time. But to have him physically sitting here.

[Chris Collinsworth]

Next to you, that was just a.

[Mike Tirico]

Lot of fun, Seaton.

[Dan Patrick]

Probably having Bo Jackson here, it was like. It was like booking a unicorn where I was like, I can't believe that this dude is sitting here. Like, it blew me away. So cool.

[Mike Tirico]

Paul.

[Dan Patrick]

I'm also going to go Christopher Mad Dog Russo, because I think not overstaying this. He's one of the reasons we're sitting here today and a lot of people are out here today and there's a radio row created. Russo is a unbelievable forefather of this whole media.

[Mike Tirico]

Marvin.

[Dan Patrick]

I love Gerald McCoy.

[CD Lamb]

He was unbelievable, unbelievable all season and he brought the energy big time.

[Mike Tirico]

I'm going to say Malcolm Butler because he's not a star, but he had charisma and he's recounting that interception and he did it with such innocence. It wasn't like. And he's probably told the story thousands of times this week, but he told it in a way that it made it feel like he was telling us for the first time. Also, the courage of Bo Jackson to come on and say, hey, I had prostate cancer surgery. Please, please get tested. Thank you for joining us.
