Hello beautiful people, and welcome to our humble abode, the Thunderdome on this super overreaction. Monday, February 9, 2026. This sports program begins now. Football. Ah, that was it right there. Uh huh. Yep, yep. The last football chant of the 2025, 2026 season. Yeah, we'll be off starting tomorrow for a couple of weeks. But while we're off, what we'll be doing is celebrating the greatest football season we have had. We'll also be celebrating the greatest defense we have seen in a long time as we celebrate the Seattle Seahawks as your super bowl champions. Congratulations to Mike McDonald, head coach of the Seattle Seahawks, hired a little over 13 months ago as the new era of the Seattle Seahawks shall begin with a man who was a defensive coordinator for Baltimore, but if you go back to like 2013 or something like that, he was was a defensive assistant for the Georgia Bulldogs. Life wasn't going the way he wanted it to go at the time. He wasn't getting promotions, he was grinding it out. He went, applied to work for KPMG finance company, sat in the interviews like, this sucks. Let me get back to football. Thank God he made that decision. What we're witnessing with him is maybe one of the smartest minds we've ever seen with ball. Now everybody obviously compliments offensive gurus because it's special, it's the highlights. Hey, this guy's wide ass open. Hey, this offense is able to create this type of leverage in the run game. This guy's a super genius. Let's hire it. This guy, defensive coordinator, head coach, smothering defense, maybe the best in the history. Their run through the playoffs, absolutely dominant. And it's not just a dominance where it's like, hey, we're kind of let you do some stuff. Bend but don't break. It's like, no, we are on your ass. And it's normally with just the front four getting home, so the other seven just get to sit back and kind of watch. And all of them are thumpers, all of them are dogs. Darius J. Butler, nine year NFL vet, host of everything db, Good D, bad D here with us. Look at good D. What do they have in the corner of the team meeting room that Mike McDonald kind of leads?
B
Just a, just a stack of helmets of all the enemies heads that they taken throughout the season we saw a little glimpse of him. Not sure what clip or what it was behind the scenes, but we saw Mike McDonald in the front of the meeting room and this is awesome. This is one of the best little props gimmicks I've seen in a team meeting room love everything about this.
A
Yeah, I think this is Mike McDonald's kind of mo. Hey, we're going to be hard asses. And in a post game interview, whenever he was celebrating with Boomer Booger and Alex Smith, he mentioned addressing the team and talking about, hey, I need to become a better public speaker for you guys. And instead of judging, his team rallied around him because they knew they had something special. Sam Darnold, seemingly the perfect quarterback for this guy. His revenge tour from going from absolute shite ass bust in everybody's mind to now a Super bowl champion. A man who will be able to say, hey, they got a statue for me in Seattle forever, potentially. Sam Darnold changed his entire career, changed his entire legacy, changes his entire narrative overnight in Santa Clara, Californ. And Sam Darnold didn't even win the mvp. The run game. Kenneth Walker, who had to share the backfield with Charbonnet, ends up being the most dominant player. He doesn't even score a touchdown. Their kicker hits five field goals. First time in super bowl history. That happens in Jason Myers. And we talked to him this year whenever he beat the Indianapolis Colts. Okay, Phil Rivers, by the way, maybe a little bit more respect than that. Jason Myers goes on to set a Super bowl record off of his right foot. Not a bad day at the office, I would say. He goes for 33, 39, 41, 41, 26 all no dodders. Even with a little bit of. A little bit of a catch by Michael Dixon, the holder, to put that thing up pure as day, it felt like Jason Myers was incredible. Michael Dixon, the Australian, first ever Aussie to win a Super Bowl. Congratulations to him. He was unbelievable. Just pinning him. He had Goffin corner late in the game. Gotta get this thing out quick. Let me go ahead and hit a low liner that goes out of bounds inside the 10 with no return. I mean, he was special. All facets of this team were spectacular. And I'll tell you what, it makes for a boring game. It makes for a pretty boring game. Drake May the New England Patriots absolute ass into the fourth quarter where he threw for 235 yards. Before that, none. What did they do on offense? Nothing. How did it look? Terrible. What was it kind of doing? Well, it was giving a lot of opportunity for people to say cupcake. Schedule gets this. New England Patriots here to the Super Bowl. Bo Nicks doesn't get hurt. Are they still here? Buffalo Bills figure out how not to mess it up and they win it. Are they Going to beat the Seattle Seahawks team. I'd like to say I don't think anybody was going to be beating that Seattle Seahawks defense. I think what that Seattle Seahawks defense proved just like what the Philadelphia Eagles defense proved last year. It's like, if you can get home with four and they can wreck the game, you can win anything. You can win the Super Bowl. And the Seattle Seahawks primed and poised to go ahead and do this for the next what, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 20. Is McDonald gonna forget how to call defense? Is he gonna get worse at leading and speaking to the team? I don't think so. Or is he only gonna get better? Is the culture only gonna continue to grow? Schneider, this guy, unbelievable. General manager says Pete Carroll, get out of my face. Pete Carroll came in and said I wanted to talk. I think this is how we win. We can compete. We gotta do this. We can do this. Schneider said, sweet. Cool. Can we please get this old man out of here? Okay. You had a hell of a run. We appreciate it. Jody Allen, cool seeing her up there celebrate. I know nothing about her. She has no anonymous sources. She has no leaks in her. She is lock and key, basically. Whenever it comes to ownership, we don't hear nothing. Now, is that because of how far away they are?
C
Potentially.
A
Potentially. But it doesn't feel like they're ever working any angle. So watching her celebrate and give credit to everybody in the 12s, it was like magical night for Seattle and we might be looking at the next dynasty. We're talking about the Patriots being back to building a dynasty. It's like, if this defense is going to continue to do this, which I think they possibly are, the whole league's in trouble for a while. Let's go to the toxic table at Boston. Connor at Ty Schmidt, con man. Hey, hey. Way ahead of schedule.
C
That's right.
A
We're run way ahead of schedule. Sure looked bad last night.
D
Yeah.
A
Did not look great through the playoffs. 23 years old, first year head coach re establishing us. How many days in the entire Mike Vrabel era is this? Con man 307. So what does that mean for you after last night? I assume it was devastating. Patriots fans are used to winning these types of games. Obviously they thought, hey, we're back. I watched a video from Vrabel and the Patriots team that got me jacked up. Oh, Freebird. Holy hell. Yeah, I liked us. I liked us. Boom, boom, us against the world. It was like, yes, Patriots plus four and a half right play. Then that game started and you heard Chris Collinsworth say it a few times. I think Chris Collinsworth should always have something to say. Been around the game a long time. You are the color commentator. You're the one that's supposed to say stuff. I appreciate the hell out of you in there. I thought Tirico called an incredible game, but he was like, if they kick one more field goal when it was nine, nothing. If they make this thing 12, zip, this one's about as good. As good as over. Yeah, that's how it was literally through the entire first half and even into the third quarter, fourth quarter, we get some magic that starts happening on the offensive side. But it felt like Seattle's defense was never going to let you guys back in that game. Almost had it back to recover, but how did you feel watching it? And afterwards, what is the perspective of the Patriots fans? Still a great year ahead of schedule.
D
Yeah, no doubt about it. Leading up to the super bowl, you're hearing about this defense and they're comparing it to Legion of Boom. And I basically was thinking like, okay, let's slow down and have them win a Super bowl first. They did that. They. They are, in fact, a historic, unbelievable defense. And Mike McDonald, whatever game plan he had for Josh McDaniels, I don't know if he was changing it every other drive. I don't think he was. He was just fantastic. I mean, he called damn near a perfect game. You mentioned, you know, Patriots fans being used to win in Super Bowls. When the patriots were down 12, nothing I felt worse about that than being down 28 three to Atlanta. Like, that's how kind of suffocating the Seahawks defense seems to be the entire night. And honestly, it was one of those situations where you thought that they were going to get a first down and start to go a little bit. But then I think in the third quarter, one of the things Torico said, because he did carry it, he mentioned, you know, they haven't gotten a first down since.
A
Well, Tariko is a weapon, but go ahead.
D
Absolutely love Tariko. Good luck in Italy. But they hadn't gone a first down since the first quarter. You know, there was no kind of hope on the offensive side for the entire night. And then when AJ Barner scores to go up 19, nothing, that's where it was like, okay, I don't know if we're going to. If we have the juice to go down and score three touchdowns, but a lot to, you know, build on. You mentioned 307 days into Vrabel's era, second year for Drake. May you Know the sky's falling right now in New England, but personally I feel great about the squad as a whole and, you know, we'll see where everybody goes and how everything changes.
A
Ty, now, when you talk about lack of star power in this Super Bowl, I don't know if any stars are really made. Yeah. You know, like Sam Darnold, Mike McDonald, I think, sure. Donald became a star last night. I think Darnold wins.
C
But Kenneth Walker didn't win mvp. Right.
A
I think like Kenneth, I'm not talking about in the football world, I'm talking about in the universe.
E
Yeah.
D
Yeah.
A
Now the number is going to be gigantic. There's going to be 100, certainly 20 plus 130 last year, 127. We assume it's going to be up to 130, but it didn't feel like if you were outside, what'd you take away? McDonald's, the young hotshot coach, potentially. Kenneth Walker. Unbelievable. Yeah. 161 total yards, no touchdown, still wins the MVP. That's how awesome he was to watch. Offensive line kind of does their thing. And for the Patriots, it's like Drake May doesn't have his best performance. Defense, I guess dominant. I don't know. Like, what do you kind of think, like the non football people took away other than San Benito?
C
Yeah.
A
Man, I wish I understood Spanish.
D
So.
B
Me too.
A
Because he put on a whole Broadway. There was like. That was a full. I have. No, it was a. Was the engagement real? Probably.
C
Allegedly.
D
Yes.
A
No, the wedding was real. There was an engagement early.
C
You're right.
A
So as soon as I'm watching the engagement, I'm like, oh, that's probably real right there. I wonder how they went about getting that to probably happen. Because for those that don't know, I. I've gotten a chance to understand this bad bunny character a little bit, just strictly because I've realized he's a huge wrestling mark. Okay. So we also. Huge wrestling marks. So we know that he's shown anybody that is a wrestling person that gets an entertainment. It's like, okay, thinking about the spectacle, thinking about that. He has certainly done that. I mean, this dude did a residency down in Puerto Rico where people are flying in from all over the. I think he lifted the Puerto Rican tourism thing like maybe 5,000%. I'm not 100% sure because of how popular he is, but he also loves the show. So him putting together an entire Broadway play, basically, which I assume was an incredible story. I assume it was great. Even whenever he climbed up the power things to tell part of that story. I feel like he was telling the story of potentially puerto Rico. Not 100% sure, but I'm thinking he was. As I'm watching and listening, I'm like, I hear, hey, I understood. Hey, I got that one. There was a couple other that I was able to pick up, but I was thinking to myself the entire time, this is probably like a really historical and awesome, like, kind of lesson about Puerto Rico. Wish I understood it now. I'd like to say or think that we are at the technology, technologically advanced position of society where that thing should have been able to be dubbed over to me.
C
Or subtitles at least.
A
Yeah. Because Spanish subtitles. We know.
E
I tried.
A
Yeah, we know. That's what that is. And then you go to Spanish subtitles. English subtitles subtitle Spanish. You're kind of getting me here. Yeah. So if I could have heard and understood what was going on, I think I would like to more. But I enjoyed the. I enjoyed the show. I enjoyed the vibe. I enjoyed the bops. I enjoyed all that stuff. I had a lot of people that hated me saying, I wish I understood Spanish. I'm an idiot. Because this idiot jock is complaining about, sorry, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
C
Everybody's bilingual.
A
Okay, I'm so sorry. I took French in high school and in college strictly because we were all taking French for the teacher, because we were a big fan of the teacher. And then the teacher ended up hating us more. It was a bad decision then. It was a bad decision now. I understand that. I'm sorry. I've had other stuff going on. I can't just pick up Spanish.
B
It doesn't matter.
A
I try a lot. I asked Rey Mysterio to teach me stuff. I asked Dominic to teach. I try my best to learn. But on that note, to your point, and a lot of people's point, D Bud. I mean, that was more dancing than I have felt or experienced in a long time on tv. And if I would have understood it, I think I would have said the same thing I say now. That was a lot of effort. Good show, great vibes. I do wish I could have understood it a little bit.
B
For sure. The show was unbelievable. And me, I guess, being from South Florida and it being such a melting pot down there, people from all over different parts of America. There are parts of America that aren't that type of melting pots. But hearing it, obviously, I heard it a lot more. My youngest daughter, she's half Puerto Rican, so her family had a whole thing that just loved every. All the stories that were being told not only about.
A
Is that what it was though? Is that what it was?
B
It was definitely a lot of stories and a lot of his life things that, you know. Cause for me that's not a show, that's for me. But I can respect and appreciate him putting on for his culture and telling all those stories not only for Puerto Rico but for Latin America. Obviously the power grid thing, that was a part of, you know, the hurricane that they've kind of still been struggling to get their full power grid back. But it was just unbelievable. I think storytelling. I think the visuals. And to your point, like, I mean, I am on a 230 day streak on Duolingo, but I don't speak Spanish either.
A
But I. Congrats on your streak.
B
Thank you. And the visual of it, you know, the. I know a lot of people are mad about this much of it about half a second. But yeah, it was a lot of. It's very pleasant on the eyes for most of it.
A
A lot of dancing, a lot of good vibes.
B
Ricky Martin, dude, I need a cup.
A
Of life out of him right now. Yeah, come on, here we go. Because then I could have. Yeah, here we go.
E
Gasolina was only for three seconds. If we would have got some more. Gasolina.
B
Another banger.
A
I thought we're going straight into full get. Didn't you think? Yeah, yeah. And I was pumped.
E
And then I saw Ricky and I thought we were getting.
A
Yeah, nailed it.
E
Or a cup of life. But on that note, I miss Ricky.
A
I was. Incredible show.
D
Yeah, yeah.
A
Incredible vibes. People are going to be pissed regardless.
B
They were pissing me too, because I did like you and so they're pissed at you because you wish you understood Spanish. They were pissed at me.
A
I never said I didn't like it.
B
Oh, well, I said I liked it. I said I loved it. Killed it. And boy, people hated that.
A
That's not real. Those people aren't real. Those people aren't real. They can't be. Honestly, every. There's gonna be 100 what? Million?
C
We think 30 plus.
D
Yeah.
A
Okay. So I mean we've experienced this at a much smaller level. Much, much, much, much, much smaller level. The more people that see you, like, the more people that are gonna hate you. Like, more people see you, more people like you. Hopefully that's kind of the business. More people are like, hey, I kind of. That's kind of my shit. Or people like, I hate this person. And there's people that get hate views, obviously, and they love that. And then there's just people that just, like, hate people. The more people that are there. I think there was going to be a group of people that.
F
Hey.
A
That. You know. No matter what, I will say Lady Gaga did not expect to see her pop up out of nowhere. Pop up out of nowhere, kind of seemingly. The human trees. Smart idea.
D
Sweet.
A
Could you imagine trying to move all those trees? Yeah, you're right. Yeah, right. That was the only way to do it. Only way to do it is we need humans to be trees. You guys gotta rehearse. You gotta do it. Because we need you in, we need you out. We don't have time to be. Stat. Who's grabbing trees? We don't have time to do that. Need you to be able to move. Because I thought maybe there was gonna be something with the trees at some point because the humans were in there, but instead it was like, no, just moving sets. That's the only way we can really do this. How many of them are 1400. Yeah. With 2000, however, 10,000. We're just going to go ahead and do that. Smart once again.
B
Oh, yeah.
A
Because it felt like he was in different sets. Yeah, yeah. It really. It really did feel like he was at different sets. And then. How about we talk about the ball game?
B
You got to talk about the ball.
D
Security.
E
Great ball security.
A
Good spike.
B
High tight. Yeah, yeah.
A
Better spike than I expected. Thought that was going to be a lot of elbow.
E
He's an athlete.
A
Elbow with wrist instead. No, actual spike. I was pretty impressed by that. Let's go. Pregame flyover was sick.
D
Yeah, unbelievable.
A
Flyover was absolutely sick. I thought that was coming from the clouds, you know, the handheld. This guy got great shot. Guy or girl, I don't know who it is doing the handheld. You know, the operator, I think they cut him a little bit. Not gonna judge too hard, but unbelievable stuff as you get them coming out of the clouds. Right back to Charlie Puth, who's incredibly talented within the sole fighter coming after. I mean, it was a. That was a beautiful little series there to kind of set the entire stage. Shout out to the fans. Normally super corporate event, you know, Usually like super duper. This is an incredible shot, too. Hey, goal. Hey, boys. Yep, yep. How you doing? Yeah, we just did that shit. We couldn't see it, but we know it probably looked awesome. I just think they did a good job. Yeah, I think the. I think the show was done well. And then, you know, halftime gonna get talked about. End of game. Tirico transitioning. Oh, yeah. Chris Pratt, Jon Bon Jovi Great job, Port. Hey, John Bon Jovi did have a little note in there.
C
Oh, yeah.
A
You know, and then Chris Pratchett said, let me go ahead and just hammer this. You know, what we're here for. Let's go ahead and get after it. I respect that and appreciate that. I thought it was good game, lack star power, lacked explosives for a while, but I just think, like, all of it was. It did feel big as it was going on.
D
Yeah. And to your point, you could kind.
A
Of hear commercials kind of ass. So what's going on with. So. So. So they're finding dogs, apparently. I mean, what's going on? Is this the Batman basement? You know, where he walks in there and it's Alfred?
C
Yeah.
A
That's basically what they're like, hey, everybody, happy roll here. Let us explain to you what's been going on here.
E
Is that one of those things that you sign in the agreement that no one's reading? You scroll to the bottom and click. Yeah, you could use my camera for whatever you want, probably.
A
It's fascinating because obviously, you know, people go door to door whenever they're looking for footage. Dateline. Yeah, yeah, Dateline. You watch these detectives go, will you get this camera from ba, ba, ba to blah, blah, blah. That commercial told me. I don't know if I saw it properly told me. It's like, hey, listen, you just tell us what you need.
F
Yep.
A
Nobody likes losing a dog. What kind of. I think that's what he said. No, they're finding dogs. No. Oh, hey, Families are happy. I mean, there is certain. These dogs are back with their family.
E
They're tapping into every ring camera they can.
A
That's what you'll see. You'll see it and say there, boom, boom, boom. That's the Batman thing. That's. That's a Batman basement.
C
Exactly.
A
At least now they pick that to say, like, yeah, girl was happy. We're doing it. Yeah, she was happy. Hey. Okay, so I guess that's good. This was a takeaway from me. I will say this was one takeaway from me. Oh, foxy just said, and that's an obs, baby.
E
Oh, yeah.
A
Way to go, PA I like that. Good idea, too. Encourage me. I got influenced by it. I'm like, yeah, actually, I am gonna check because it feels like it's something that is affecting a lot of us. A lot younger than any of us could imagine. And also in our direct group, it's like, hey, this is a very real thing. Shout out to BA Doing his acting gig. And, hey, seeming nailing it, even like serene, you know, when he looks over in the seat, I'm like, ba that's no bs, baby. For a good cause and getting a chance.
D
Duncan brought it as well. Towards the end there, they just played the nostalgia track and just hit all those bases with Ben Affleck being a good will. Duncan, I believe, was the name. And they brought out, you know, the old friends crew. Yeah, here. There's Joey Tribbiani, I believe. Family Matters, A couple of those people as well.
C
Steve Urkel.
D
Yeah, there is Steve Urkel. This one, I thought, but also fantastic. Duncan typically does, though, bring the heat in. The other one was the MrBeast million dollar giveaway thing.
A
Puzzle.
D
Yeah, puzzle. I thought that was really cool. And they're still doing that.
A
I think he tweeted that nobody has solved the puzzle or whatever. I think I missed that in real time. I saw him walk and then I think I missed the puzzle in real time. Can we figure that out? What type of puzzle is it?
D
So it's like, I think there's four videos out right now. And you just watch each video and there's something wrong with each video and that's how you kind of decipher the code and then you send it to them on slack or something in order answer to win the million dollars.
A
I'll tell you what, Mr. Beast has got it. Hey, we got this. We got slack.
D
We got this.
A
Go ahead and do that. Pull from here. Let me go. Salesforce, how you doing? Let's go ahead and get this thing operated. If we pull it off, though, should be pretty big. Congrats, Mr. Beast.
C
Yeah.
A
This guy, since he's like a teenager, this dude right here, since he's like a teenager, one of these super duper thinkers. Yeah.
D
Was the streaker a part of it? Was my question.
A
So streaker is pretty jocked, man. Pretty jocked, man. I guess he's the owner of the company that he was marketing on his chest and back. So kind of a little, obviously. I appreciate the fact that Tirico said a real rocket scientist piece, basically what he wanted to say. But he's. Tirico is streaking out here and that is certainly true. And Williams chasing him down and potentially hitting him with one ace, I think was certainly fascinating because as players and coaches and I know this is never really the thought because it's always like, ah. And then the security people kind of get there and it's like a part of a game for some players and coaches, you know, I'm not saying where they came From. But some situations where people are just sprinting at them that there's definitely not supposed to be. There are some uncomfortable feelings by people, especially on a football field. So we've seen situations in the past where players or coaches have been like, absolutely not. Are you. You have no idea if there's a knife. You have no idea if there. What's the messaging? You don't know. You literally have no idea in the world that we're in. So I think that is why Williams immediately was like, I've been planning for this day.
D
Yeah.
A
You know, like who knows who this person is. So that seemingly jacked man hit him with a no. Okie doke.
F
Yeah.
C
Pretty good run.
A
Kind of went down. Allegedly his own company, I mean, filming it on his Oakley Meadows.
B
Okay.
A
Okay. So he's gonna have the shot and probably break down why he chose to juke this particular out shape looking one as opposed to going at this one. So pretty good little football.
B
You've been part of a game the streaker.
A
Have I ever been a part of a game with you?
B
Have one your Super Bowl?
A
Nope, I don't think so. Have you?
B
I don't know. I don't think so either.
A
I think we would remember. Right.
B
Squirrel. Yeah, Squirrel.
A
Yeah, I had a couple of those. MetLife seemingly had like a black cat too, I think.
B
Oh, I don't remember that one.
A
I think multiple times, I think. Right?
C
Yeah.
A
For the Rats.
G
Yeah.
A
Yeah. So I think I had. I think I had black cat, scored touchdown and met life. I was there for pretty good. Everybody just standing there literally like, go on. He's at that 10. Okay. Sick squirrel. I think we've been. I've been a part of a Squirrel. Never streaker though. That one there was one that had a smoke like a. Yeah.
D
Against the Rams.
A
Yeah.
C
San Francisco.
A
And what's that?
B
I thought it was pink smoke.
A
Yeah. A few years ago.
E
Was it Bobby Wagner that got.
D
Yeah, it was Bill's Rams season opener.
A
Yeah. But so I think that the reason why Tirico talks the way he does about it and other people just like, yeah, this is a streaker. It's like, you have no idea.
B
No, I don't.
A
Yeah. And now granted. Did they get check coming in? You. You assume. But I mean people got interesting ways of doing stuff.
C
That's right.
A
And people are willing to do stuff. It's like never can be too safe. And I would like to reiterate the fact San Francisco was good to us out there. Had a lot of people start talking about that whole Thing.
B
It's the same thing.
E
Yeah, it is.
A
A lot of people talk about that whole thing. Hey, this is a nice city. We've been walking around here, Miles. I mean, we. A lot people are talking. I had a lot of people, I believe, representing the right wing of the political sphere, quote, tweeting our video and saying, oh, isn't that nice? Mr. Private Plane Guy who gets security into his hotel. That is a five star thing. And then gets driven to the backseat stage of a convention center. Yeah, I bet it is nice for you. It's like, hold on now I understand that could be my life. And that sounds pretty sick, actually. That sounds. But I'm not there yet. We walked that shit pounding the pavement. I mean, we were all over that place. And even on the maps it says like moderate incline. It's like, that's a lie. San Francisco, especially if you live in Indiana, we're putting in steps. I mean, we were all around. Now granted, it was just our area. San Francisco, very, very wide. I assume there was shitty areas. I mean, it is a city. I think that kind of happens in most cities. I think we even have some areas that are like, not great. But the part we were at was very nice. And then, you know, there were some people that immediately attacked me for saying it was nice. Cause this guy's been brainwashed by. Right. This guy thinks San Francisco is like. You think that that is what everything we had heard coming out, including what the mayor had to say of like three years ago, four years ago, was like that city was down and out. And we would like to say from our experience, seemingly very. We were not there when it was down and out. Nope, nope, we were not there when it was done. We were just there this past week. We went to Stanford. Okay, we were there. We were in San Francisco for a morning. We did a show down there. We've never really been in Dunn San Francisco. It was nice to us. So I think super bowl would say it was a success.
B
People may not know when we say walk, Those are like 15, 20, like 1520 minute bops. Oh, yeah. Downtown. And you know, most major cities, downtown areas, you're gonna have some sketchy parts, some sketchy pockets, obviously, you know, you're gonna run into some unsavory, savory characters. But yeah, it was. And the weather, the weather, certain, it was crispy, perfect. But yeah, the city, the city from, from our. It was very nice from our perspective.
A
Now there's people that say, you don't think. You dip shit. They just cleaned it up because you all were coming to town. Maybe. What do you think? Maybe I'm. They did a great job.
G
Yeah.
A
And if it stays this way, it'll be incredible. If it goes back to being a dump the next time we're there, guess what we'll do.
C
Say it.
A
We'll tell you.
C
That's right.
A
Was actually planning on leading off the show if it was saying this place is a shithole.
D
Yeah.
A
Was planning on it. Do you remember that?
C
Oh, yeah.
A
Can't wait to have to tell the truth about San Francisco. If it is not great because we're getting reports from people I don't want to say both political parties, but center and one side telling us directly not great. And then a little bit on this side saying it used to be very. Think it's better. It's like, okay. So we had no idea what to do. Excited to tell the truth about it. It like. That's why I think this soul shit's for. And yeah, it was great. To us. It was great.
C
Phenomenal.
A
And the mayor had a little jumper. Cool mayor. One of these.
E
Bang, bang.
A
Yeah, one of these. Which I appreciate.
E
Oh, yeah.
A
I guess Steph Curry's been in the area.
E
True.
D
Yeah.
C
No. Yeah. Certainly.
A
Let's go to one half of the Hammer Cowboys ap. Tone. Tone. When it comes to the gambling.
C
Yeah.
A
When it comes to what happened last night, obviously under hits, which is not good for the public, I would assume because public loves overs to hitting that entire thing. And then Seattle Seahawks cover with ease. And they were the 71% of the public bet at one point. Then down to 60 some percent. They were the odds on favorite and also the public favorite this entire time. How do you think sportsbooks did and how did most people do throughout this season? Did we get our asses beat this year by the sports books or how do we kind of feel?
E
I'll start right there. Because it has been a long season.
C
So, you know, we.
E
We tend to forget things. The public got their asses beat this year. What was it when we were going through the season and we did this every Monday or Tuesday, I think there was like two or three winning weekends, but the playoffs got better. And then obviously in the super bowl, things got better for the public. If you were on the Seahawks, which majority was? It started at 75%. By the time we got off the air on Friday, it was down to like 65%. I think it ended somewhere around there. So the public won on the Seahawks side. Obviously. They got the money line. They got the COVID there. The under which was a dead nuts under. The whole game almost went over. If Kenneth Walker's touchdown did not get called back there. So they got the under there then obviously if you took anything on the defensive side for Seattle, whether it be interception or sacks or whatever touchdown, all of those hit the only. I went 3 and 1. First quarter under Drake May overpassing yards. AJ Barner under a half yard and then I lost Sam Darnold over his passing yards because he didn't really have to throw. Obviously first touchdown of the game was another one. Another. If you, if you didn't see. If you didn't see the show. Sports Rage had AJ Barner first. First touchdown that hit again. It was a. It was. I would say it was a good night for the books because you know JSN got hurt. He was out a bunch. Ronda Stevenson did get the touchdown but didn't go over his numbers. I would say good night for the books in general.
A
Yeah. I will say anytime an under hits in a big time game, yeah, you know that's going to be good for the books. And that felt like a lock early. But then they almost caught it. Almost caught that fourth quarter. Drake may. Does that give you hope? Okay, because this is kind of my takeaway. There was a sentiment like hey, playoffs come. Drake made him play good. We were on the side of like it was tough situations. You got the one defense and then somehow again the number one defense and then oh yeah, a better number one defense. So like he did hit like a murderer's row of defenses and playoffs. But I think you're going to like that's kind of what it's going to be. So some people maybe say big moment, big bright, big, big bright lights. North Carolina never really had to play in those types of games. He can't do it. I don't think that's the case. I would like to argue that. I think it is a 23 year old quarterback who hasn't seen a lot of defenses that he can pull from and then he's getting tasked with taking on maybe the best defense in the league. Maybe the best defense in the league. Maybe the best defense ever. Whenever it's all said and done, depending upon how their little dynasty. Not little, sorry, how this potential dynasty goes with McDonald in that defense up in Seattle right now. MLB dark side, you know, mission over. Bullshit dark side. We're hanging helmets in the corner there. I think Drake potentially rattled. Definitely quick overthrowing a little bit not by the moment but by like a little bit of intimidation. Potentially by he doesn't know what the hell's going on. Remember? And I don't want to tie us back to Sam Darnold because he just won a Super bowl, but it's rude. But there was a point in Sam Donald's career where he said, I'm seeing ghosts.
B
Yeah.
A
Okay. And that's. I don't think he's the only quarterback that's ever thought that. And that can certainly affect you him through this playoffs with what he's had to deal with defensively and then in a Super bowl with what he's had to deal with with the Seahawks without a lot of good protection, but him also being pretty reckless with it all. What is your kind of thoughts on Drake May, as a whole, as we go into next year? Is he made man at this point in your eyes?
B
No, definitely not a made man. He had a great second year, almost won the mvp. But he still has, I think, really good pieces around him. And why I had so much confidence in him going into this game was because Josh McDaniel's still been there and then Mike Vrabel still been a great head coach. So he has good pieces around him. This will be a learning, a learning experience for him for sure. We saw a little mic'd up on the sideline in the weather against the Broncos and the AFC Championship where he was like, hey, man, this is hard. Like, and once you get to the playoffs and you play these teams, you're playing the best of the best. Are you talking about Denver? Mo sacks. Talk about Houston, historically great. And then you get Seattle. And on the offensive side with the Seattle Seahawks, Hawks didn't turn the ball over this whole playoff run. So with that defense, you're almost never going to beat him. But yeah, with no protection. And then when he did have opportunities to hit some throws, throws that he hit all year, he didn't. He missed some layups. And that's just part of it. He didn't play his best ball. He'll learn from it, I think. I think he'll probably use his legs a little more in these situations. Not only just from him, but from the coaching standpoint as well. But this team, this defense, like we talked about Snyder earlier, just studs on every level. And then their head coach, Mike McDonald, he's unbelievable when it comes to dialing it up.
D
Yeah. And to your point, like the good pieces you mentioned, coaches, like, they need good pieces on the outside and the inside, where it's like, hey, it doesn't matter what they're in. We're just going to throw it here and they're going to be open. He's going to have a chance. Like there was never a point. Stefan Diggs was their number one this year. He had his worst game yesterday and that was shocking. It felt like to everybody. And I don't know what the plan was going into it, but it felt like, like at some point they had to either scrap it or go a different way. And they just could never get anything going. No matter what.
B
They couldn't run the ball.
A
What's that?
B
They couldn't run the ball.
A
Yeah. Seahawks are just so good, right? I mean, McDonald came out and said if you can stop the run with split safeties back there, you're in a good spot.
B
Yep.
A
What does that mean?
D
What does that mean? So.
B
So that basically means, you know, you don't have to put eight in the box. You hear that term a lot. Eight men in the box. And that basically mean you go from a two high safety look and then you go to a single high safety look, which means you bring one of those safeties from the deep part of the field. And now they have to get down there closer to line of scrimmage to stop the run game. But when you can just stay in that quarters type too high defense, first of all, for the quarterback, it confuses a lot more things coverage wise. Because when you are single high, you're one on one on the outside, you know you're one on one. But when you have those two safe and you can just trust your front seven to stop that run and they did and you put them in a situation where they have to drop back and pass the ball, it's going to.
A
Be tough sledding that second pick. I think Drake middle of it was like. Oh, yeah. Like I think that was. I didn't expect. Expect there was four guys there.
C
Yeah.
A
You know, and that's because the second where he threw it in, not touchdown, he had a Matt Collins throw that was a completion right before the touchdown was filthy. Unbelievable. Then the drop in the bucket. But then there was one. He threw in a double coverage with the two crossers right in the middle.
D
Of the field and the game. Basically. Yeah, right here.
A
Right here. I think he was in the middle of that and go, oh, no.
B
Oh, it's okay.
A
Yeah, yeah. Because they show a close up of his face whenever he throws it. And I legitimately think he goes, oh no. As he's throwing that. Because there's so many people back there. Because they don't. There's Nobody up. So, like, there's more people in coverage. And that's what the Eagles were able to do last year when they dominated the Chiefs, and now the Seahawks just did the same damn thing against the Patriots. I have not lost faith in Drake. May. I think all these things are him to learn from. Okay. Light box means probably there has to be humans somewhere. If he's not here, he's probably here. All these things are good for Drake, even though in the moment it had to suck. And he got choked up last night afterwards. And you could see just by the way he was sitting in his build and his face, it's like, this guy's so young, man.
D
Oh, his boy.
A
This guy is just so damn young out there, you know?
E
It was a huge difference, and I did not see this coming. Sam Darnold had a lot of pressure, too. Milton. Milton Williams was just dominating their right guard. Sam was unbelievable in the pocket of getting out of the pressure and missing and avoiding and then making plays. And Drake was not in that sense last night. He. He sat there a lot, took sacks where maybe he could have run or whatever. But I think a big difference was that Sam was so good at avoiding those sacks and Drake was not.
A
Sam was running one to the right and cut up.
D
Yeah.
A
Yeah, Sam Darnold. Joining us now, ladies and gentlemen, is senior NFL Insider for espn. Shout out to espn. By the way, hosting the next super bowl should be an absolute blast. Ladies and gentlemen, Adam Shefty. Oh, you're going to Augusta. Good to see you.
F
I'm still in the green room from the. Am I. Am I allowed to leave here Friday? I got here 9am Friday morning. I'm waiting to leave here. I haven't gotten your clearance yet. Am I allowed to go yet or not?
A
Yeah. What all happened? So I do apologize. I wanted you to join us live so that we could thank you for the season that was. You showed up for us every time we needed you, and then one thing led to another. People got stacked. I heard you. I heard you were back there potentially holding court a little bit. Heard you met some people and everything like that. And then whenever I go back for the next break, I'm like, is Chef here?
D
They're.
A
No, he had to leave. I'm like, ah, got it, got it, got it. We apologize there for that. Want to let you know that we all good.
F
All good, all good. I just. I just left there five minutes ago, so time to go catch a flight home.
A
All right. Yeah, I understand. I understand. I get it, too. We knew There was going to be a little something as there should have been. Okay, let's chit chat a bit little bit about said super bowl and then we'll move to offseason storylines because Max Crosby is going to be a huge part of that entire thing. Big storyline coming out of last night is that the Seattle Seahawks defense might be legendary yet again, that the Patriots are potentially in a spot where they're going to be. Okay. What are your thoughts? What are you hearing around super bowl town about how the game actually went last night?
F
Well, I think the Seahawks defense cemented itself as one of the great defenses of all time. I still like the Bears and the Ravens all time defenses, but this Seahawks defense, last night they got so much pressure on Drake May. To me, they go down with the Denver Broncos team that won in 2015. They go down with the Legion of Boom team that won a Super bowl and almost won two. They're in that upper echelon of defenses. They gave New England nothing last night. But I to me, the story of this postseason and this super bowl, people will always remember it as the time in which Sam Darnold overcame everything that he did to go from seeing ghosts in New York to seeing his reflection in the Vince Lombardi Trophy, to bouncing around the league from New York to Carolina to San Francisco to Minnesota, to finally winning a Super bowl in Seattle. Five teams, nobody's ever done that before starting and winning. And it's just an amazing journey to get to where he wound up. And he's deserving of it. He obviously played a great postseason. He did not have a turnover all postseason long, which, you know, during the season they were second in the league, second in the league, most turnovers behind only Minnesota. And then they play clean, flawless football in the postseason. Sam Donald did a tremendous job and I think people always remember that. And it's amazing. He's in that draft class, 2018 that produced Baker Mayfield and Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson and he's the first quarterback in that draft class to win the super bowl. And him and Josh Allen are very, very close. And as much as Josh Allen would love to reach and win a Super Bowl, I'm sure he's incredibly happy for his good friend Sam Darnold for winning Super Bowl 60 last night.
A
Yeah. And people are going to hold Sam Darnold over Josh Allen's head for the rest of his career until he wins Super Bowl. With how this whole thing has gone and how we judge postseasons, Lamar as well and Baker. Congrats to Sam on that. Feels like he's a perfect fit for McDonald in Seattle. Let's talk about McDonald. When he got hired Seattle, I think we expected him to get a head coaching job, but we didn't know much about him. He wasn't at Baltimore for long. I think he was in college before that becomes a DC over there crush. I think he starts slow. I think it wasn't good early, like maybe very, very bad early. Then he figures it out quickly, turns Baltimore into this defense that we remember from the Baltimore Ravens, gets the head coaching job. We all just assume it's going to take place, but because he's a defensive guy, we don't know much about him. He's certainly unique. I think whatever he talks, how he talks, how he acts, but his team is unbelievable. Can you tell me a little bit about McDonald and why everybody knew he was going to be a good head coach and kind of where he thinks he's headed.
F
First of all, you're talking about a very cerebral guy, really intelligent, really soft spoken, really quiet and really a really good guy. And I don't know that there's been a head coach this successful. He's the third youngest coach in history to win a Super bowl, joining Mike Tomlin and Sean McVeigh, which is the kind of comfort company that he's now keeping to win that Super Bowl. And when he was coming out, he interviewed in a bunch of places. He interviewed in Carolina, he interviewed in Washington. Seattle was one of his last interviews. And the interesting thing was the Washington commanders had a high level of interest in hiring him. And his wife Stephanie was a cheerleader for the Washington football team. And Stephanie's family is from that area. So you would have thought no brainer. Wife's from the Washington area, wife worked for the Washington football team. Like that's where he's going. And even when he was out in Seattle visiting, the commanders got him on the phone and made one last ditch effort to try to get him to come back to Washington from Seattle, Washington, where he was visiting. But in the end, the amazing part about it was to me, he chose to take his wife and move across the country. And Seattle was my very first job out of college. Like, it's a great city, it's a beautiful city. It is a far away city. Like you can get to Europe quicker than you can get to Seattle. And Mike went there because the main reason was he believed in the general manager, John Schneider. He just trusted and believed in him. Him felt like that was the right guy for him. And John Schneider rewarded his Efforts. Because if you look at what they've done, they trade Russell Wilson in that trade. That nets them, amongst other things. In that trade, Charles Cross, Voyer Mafe, Devin Witherspoon, all the players that they got in that Russell Wilson trade. And so to me, Russell Wilson helped Seattle win its first super bowl, and Russell Wilson helped Seattle win its second super bowl yesterday. And John Schneider Rider pushed all the right buttons. Like, if we go back to last off season, two, Geno, they wanted to keep Geno Smith, they wanted to keep him. Gino was the one who wanted out. And when Gino wanted out, well, then they traded him to the Raiders and pivoted to Sam Darnold. Another great John Schneider move. So Mike McDonald goes to Seattle because of John Schneider. John Schneider rewards him for his commitment. And now together, they won a Super bowl together last night in San Francisco.
A
That's a hell of a play by John Schneider. All the decisions he made pissed a lot of people off throughout all of it. You know, moving on from Gina, moving on from Pete, moving on from dk, moving on from Ty, moving on from a lot of people. I mean, even go back, I guess, whenever he moved on from the Legion of Boom and built on with Russell Wilson, he's made a lot of decisions where he has taken a lot of shots to the ship. So for him to get to the point where he's the only guy ever to win multiple Super Bowls in the same organization with a completely different team and head coach, it's like the amount of fires that he had to be in, especially in the world that we're in right now, where everybody wants everybody's ass, if it isn't a Super bowl, isn't a Super bowl, isn't a Super Bowl. So for him to get a chance to feel the confetti again, I assume, was pretty gratifying. I assume there was some real moments of fulfillment there for Schneider, Snyder. Shefty, I would assume.
D
And.
F
And listen, when you win a Super bowl like that, usually it's because your owners are great, usually because your GM is making the right calls, usually because your head coach is a stud and your quarterback is really good. Like, those are the starting building blocks. Now, Seattle had an exceptional defense, and that was the key to the win last night. But John Schneider did make all the right moves from hiring Mike McDonald, luring him away from Washington, which wanted to hire him. Him, and then going out and making the move at quarterback. Like, that's a dramatic move last year at the quarterback position. And again, I don't think that was plan A. That was probably plan B, but it was a great plan B and it worked out as well as it could have for John Schneider and all the moves that they made. That defense is just fast, strong, built to last. Now, now here's the other thing. They've got some major decisions to make this off season because they're going to have Jackson, Smith and Jigba eligible for a new deal for the first time. He's going to want a new contract. Devin Witherspoon is eligible for a new deal for the first time. He's going to want a new contract. You're going to have those issues at a time where you have other free agents, players whose contracts are up, like Kenneth Walker with Zach Charbonnet out with a torn acl. So they have to solidify that backfill. And Quinn Kubiak is taking the head coaching job with the Raiders. So now you got to have a the third different offensive coordinator in three years.
A
On that note, Ty has a question for you.
C
Yeah, Shefty? Is there any idea who the next OC of the Seahawks will be? I mean, I know, you know, the game just ended last night, but like, is Kubiak going to take a lot of that offensive staff with him to Las Vegas? Is there any kind of name that you can think of or what's that process going to be like naming a new offensive coordinator?
F
Yeah, they have on their staff a quarterbacks coach by the name of Andrew Jonako and I think Andrew Dinako is going to be an offensive coordinator, whether that's with Clint Kubiak in Las Vegas or whether he stays on in Seattle to become an assistant. Michael Burns spent the 2024 season with Kubiak in New Orleans. I would imagine he might go the run game coordinator Rick Dennison and run game specialist Justin Naughton. They have a history with Kubiak. Look, I don't know exactly how it's be going to to break down and how it work out, but he's, he's going to take a couple of people with him, I'm sure, and there's going to be a little bit of discussions who stays and who goes. And he's going to have to build a staff in Seattle. It's going to have to rebuild its offensive staff.
A
We assume they'll be able to do it. Man, I just assume they'll be able to do it. I'm going to now and Seattle Seahawks fans are going to say it's about time. I'm just going to assume they're making the right decisions up there, you know, and I know they felt that way. But I am going to assume, assume that the Seattle Seahawks are making the right decisions until I'm proven that that is not the case. But being able to just flip an entire culture, paint over some of the walls. Yeah, hey, we got to do a whole new chapter. Very rarely works. That's why what we're seeing in New England, awesome. No matter how this kind of goes. And definitely now, Seattle super bowl champions yet again with an entirely new roster, a whole new locker room, a whole new building, one GM and an owner who's an absolute beast. I think Jody is a monster. Monster. Like, I think she is a great owner. Congrats them on their fan base. Continuing to be in prime time is good for ball as a whole. So I'm pumped for them. Let's move. Go ahead.
F
Well, one other thing, though. Before I think my colleagues at ESPN reported they would be for sale and that they could fetch a record price. I think they estimated 7 billion. I had somebody in NFL ownership tell me that they think the Seahawks can get $10 billion, which would become the highest price paid in world of contest.
A
10. 10.
F
That's right. $10 billion billion.
A
It'll probably be more than that too, you know, because Seattle certainly has all that money up there. You know, there's a lot of NorCal area. A lot of people probably want that. You know, that's good. Multiple people that have a lot of a ton of money are potentially gonna want they wins the Super Bowl. Hey, congrats. Jody Allen. Congratulations. If that is the case, let's move to some other storylines that are going to obviously take up some of the offseason. Go ahead, con man.
D
Yeah, real quick. Seattle not favored to win the division next year. Something to think about as far as how far up they are. But shefty news that we kind of were reading today. Max Crosby told Tom Brady, hey, I'm never going to play for the Raiders again. Is that real? And then also Jason Loconfour, I believe. Okay, lock on for. Is the one who reported that that they had a conversation. Is Mash Crosby forcing his way out? Is he. He most likely done in Vegas or is this possibly just the first iteration of the Miles Garrett type thing where he gets a new deal and gets paid a bunch of money?
F
Well, look, I. I think Max isn't overly thrilled to be there right now. I don't know exactly what he did or didn't say to Tom Brady. I think there's A feeling around the league that he would like to be traded. And then the question becomes, is he actually traded? The Raiders prefer not to trade him. Now, it depends how dug in and how headstrong Max is here in this particular situation. They just saw on him to a contract extension a year ago. Mark Davis always has loved Max Crosby. They've got a new head coach coming in and Clint Kubiak. They're gonna have the number one overall pick in the draft. Fernando Mendoza is going to be a Raider. They have $90 million in cap space. And it could be that Max has grown so disenchanted with being there that he absolutely wants to move on. But I think that there may be a window to sit him down and say, look, you can be a big part of this turnaround here. And I know, know that they've already.
A
Done that, what, three times? They've already done it three times.
F
I got it. I, I, I, I know that they would prefer not to trade him. And I know that, that if they're even going to listen, and then I'm sure they probably will wind up listening. I was told it would take a Micah Parsons type package to even consider dealing Max Crosby. Now, is somebody going to get give up all that the Cowboys gave up for Micah Parsons? I don't know. We'll see. But I think with these situations, he may want out of there and they may be open to listening to it. But there's still some steps that have to unfold here before we know exactly how this will play out.
A
How far into the Future? Because the NBA trades like 20, 35 first round picks. How far into the future are the NFL teams allowed to do that?
F
It's funny you say that right now teams are not allowed to trade, oh, draft picks beyond three years. You could only trade up to three years.
A
Wow.
F
Hey, where'd you pick?
A
You have to open a safe in your brain there to find that information. Like what happened there. You were trying to find that one. You didn't expect that question?
F
I, I, no, I didn't. But, but the funny thing is I had a conversation with somebody about that this week, and I'm going to tell you right now, there are going to be people in the NFL this off season that push to have that limit grown to five years.
A
Yeah.
F
So they're going to try to, they're, well, 28 NBA.
A
I think you're about to trade 2075 if you want.
F
Yeah. You know what? Right now it's three years in the NFL and this has not been out there at all. So you can put on your bottom line. There's going to be a push by at least one team this offseason to extend the NFL trade limits from three years of picks to five years of picks.
A
We like that team.
D
Okay.
B
Love it.
A
We like that team. Sacrificing the future for the good of now.
C
That's right.
A
You know, we'll deal with that later. We can get those things back if we need to. You need us to be ass. We'll pick up some more of these picks if we have to. Don't you worry about that business. I love that action. I love that movement. Now that's coming from a team that gave away two number ones for Sauce Garden. Hey, Sauce. Excited for you to be back next year. Excited for you to be back next year. But I was trying to think in my head about Max Crosby. Okay. Okay. So we just need to give 20, 30, 12, 31. That's what we need to just go and give those. But I guess it's not a lot to do there.
D
It might be Ballard who's pushing it.
A
Ballard could be. You think I should be allowed not to trade all these things? What's that?
C
It's not.
F
I mean, he might vote, he might vote for it, you know, but teams, you have to vote on that. But the proposal will not come from the Colts.
A
Well, they need to co sign that thing because we don't got a lot in the next three years. We don't have anything. We don't have anything but Sauce and our team going Super Bowl. And I saw Daniel Jones with Fernando Mendoza and it was tweeted said Indiana quarterbacks like, okay, so we signed him. That's great news. What's his deal worth? I'm excited. I'm very excited for that. You know, we would certainly be pumped up about that. Okay, let's move to some other storyline, shall we? Speaking of quarterbacks. Go ahead, Tone.
E
Yeah, Chefy. Speaking of veteran quarterbacks, let's talk about Kirk Cousins who is rumored to be released and then be able to be a free agent and go everywhere, wherever he wants. And then Aaron Rodgers. There was also report about Aaron Rodgers this weekend that he loved his time in Pittsburgh and the. And the teammates loved him. They spoke about him glowingly in the exit interviews. I heard that as well. What's the latest on Aaron Rogers? And then also the Vikings potentially bringing in a. A vet to compete with jj. Could that be Kirk? What's the latest on all that?
F
Well, when, when they had the exit meetings with the Pittsburgh Steelers Players, almost to a man, they all wanted Aaron Rodgers back. And the one thing that was going conveyed to me was how much respect and love there was from other teammates about Aaron Rodgers and how much they wanted him back. And the idea at that point in time was to give him about a month, give him some time to think about things, process things. And in that time, they go and hire Mike McCarthy. Now, they didn't hire Mike McCarthy to bring back Aaron Rodgers, but I don't think that hurts the situation at all. If anything, it helps it. And so obviously Aaron Rodgers has to decide what he wants to do, but I think think the Pittsburgh Steelers absolutely would love to have him back and would welcome him back. Kirk Cousins, he's expected to be released. They restructured his contract with the idea that he would be released. He'll be released before the new league year begins. I think he'd like to play, but he's going to consider all his options. That could include tv, that could include retirement. Whatever it is that he wants to do, he'll have the option to doing it. But the Falcons will release him before the start of the new league year, so that'll be an option for him. And you bring up Minnesota. Yeah, well, Minnesota is always going to bring in a quarterback. Obviously they. They have to do that anyway. The question is, who's that going to be? I asked Kirk about Minnesota last week and I didn't get a no, but I didn't get a yes. Like it's possible. But there's a lot of things out there that are possible with him.
A
He's got that older couple. Body gurus.
C
Exactly.
A
Good fires. Remember we watched quarterback with him up there in Minnesota. He seemed to really enjoy his life. Maybe he goes back and says, listen, I was never supposed to leave, but they gave me 80 some million dollars guaranteed. Sorry about it. Have you guys been. Have you guys been doing pretty good? Sam Darnold. Yeah, I watched that. That was crazy. He's super bowl champion. Hopefully we are. There's a chance that all that happens. We shall see. Okay, and now because we are on this super overreaction Monday, all eyes are on the next football all season offseason story lines in abundance. Who is going to get to the top of Lombardi Mountain? Can anybody beat the Seattle Seahawks? Those are all story lines that are developing. But what's happening on this day? D. Butch, what's happening?
B
You guys do this property?
A
Yes, we do. Which way are we going to? Happy handoff day. Hey, that was good.
B
Good cadence. Nobody jump. You're Good. That was good.
A
Perfect. Good hand. Good arm movement. Cards. Yeah, that's just like. Happy handoff day. Happy handoff day.
B
Happy handoff day. Boy.
A
Hold on, Chefy. Hold on. We're leading this one, not you. Okay. You got all your talking points.
B
Yeah.
A
We're doing Dr. Journalism around here on handoff day.
B
Is there. I know it's a long ways away and obviously 32 teams want to be there, but is there any plans that ESPN has that you maybe want to break that we can look forward to in la? Maybe you already know the halftime performer. Anything you want to break? She.
A
Come on, Shefty.
F
Well, I. I've. I've seen the NFL script for next season. It's a doozy. And wait till you see the super bowl matchup next year in Los Angeles. I mean, I. I couldn't believe when I read the script. I couldn't believe the script, the halftime performance, everything. It's really incredible. So it's going to be a magical year ahead. Head on ESPN and abc. And the handoff. You carried that ball better than bad Bunny there, Pat.
C
That was good ball security.
A
I would like to say San Benito actually had buo ball Secur. I would say. I would say he had good. Good ball scar. So that was a nothing right there. That was a nothing.
D
Come on, Adam.
B
Chefy football. Come on, Chefy.
A
Feeding conspiracies, this guy.
F
Listen, I'm in LA right now. I'm in LA right now, and all I know is the Super Bowls on February 14 next year, day before President's Day. I think that's the latest the super bowl has ever been played.
D
Yep.
F
I said to the people this morning, we're here in la. We flew in yesterday to do get up here this morning, be part of the handoff, and we might as well just take up residence in la because this is going to be a huge event for the network to be. A lot of people spend a lot of time here over the next year. A lot.
A
Okay, it sounds good. Sounds like a blast. I don't think we knew, did we, about the handoff. I did not.
E
I heard about it on Friday.
H
Yeah, me too.
A
Yeah, we learned. We learned about this all week. Were talking to some of the people from the ESPN NFL crew, you know. Yeah, we're on the graph.
D
Okay.
A
That's sick. The hell are we talking about? But like, as we were. I didn't learn. I learned about this from an ESPN NFL on air talent, you know, kind of multiple in a group conversation. Yeah, we're flying to la. For the handoff immediately after a Super Bowl. What's that?
B
That's commitment.
A
Excuse me. What's going. The handoff. What's going on over the handing off? Because ESPN super bowl insurance. Like, oh, sick. When's that happening? And then it's like, cool. And then I see that graphic. I'm like, oh, fuck. We certainly were supposed to know about that. At some point. You would think that we were supposed to be told it was cool. Scott Van Pelt was out there.
C
Oh, yeah.
A
I believe NFL Live was out there. Laura Swagu, Ryan Clark were out there. 12:30, 12:31. I saw the graphics. 12:31 o' clock Eastern or something like that. Yeah, they were out there.
C
Disneyland this morning.
D
Yeah.
A
Look. Sick. Were you guys. You were at NBA today studio, right?
F
For get up, correct. Yep, that's where we were.
A
Why weren't you at Disneyland? Hey, why don't you Disneyland do the terror?
F
You know, tired terror. I've been gone. I've been gone nine days, and I want to go see my dogs and my family.
D
I get that.
A
Might have been why we headed out here on Friday. We. That's on us. We appreciate you guys doing that for the good of the next year. Super Bowl. You're the man, ladies and gentlemen. Great season, dude. We appreciate you.
B
Hell, yeah.
F
Hey, I appreciate you guys having me all year long. Honestly. Love having.
A
Having.
F
Love being with you guys on Mondays. Always a lot of fun. And I'm just happy that I can leave the green room right now. Thank you.
A
All right, ladies and gentlemen. Act like he was having a terrible time back there.
D
He was exactly.
G
Getting numbers.
D
Yeah.
A
Hey. Holy. He would have thought you and me here. Hey, I'm Adam. Chef.
E
His Rolodex grew, certainly.
A
I believe there was not only that. I mean, there's also some.
D
Some bigger names, I think, too.
A
Whoa, whoa. Maybe not in the end. Fernando Mendoza might be a goat out here, but yes, certainly others. And Bill Bailey McOmis is seeing this. Like, this feels like a big moment for Shefter. Boom. And then all of a sudden, you. You look at the photos, and it's like, Chef just had a happy hour basically in our green room. A lot of handshaking. Good for him. But he did leave before we get him on a show.
B
Bill's becoming a weapon behind that.
A
L. Yeah, Bailey's good. He just. No, I'm not saying it.
C
What's the.
A
That? Well, he. He's good, you know?
D
Yeah. Yeah, he's.
A
I've never seen a camera.
C
Yeah, well, bingo.
A
You know, Bailey, you didn't deserve that.
E
He's been taking pictures like that for years. We're just seeing him now.
A
Yeah, I, the, I didn't know there was a connective device, actually.
D
All those years of stock and normally he's unbelievable.
A
Cameraman, though. He's a photographer?
D
Yeah, yeah.
A
Like actually.
D
Good editor, too.
A
Bailey.

A
Holy.
D
I think we're, I think we're at near 200 for college. I don't know if that helps.
E
Like two weeks till combine the though.
D
Okay.
A
Okay. That's football stuff. They're wearing underwear, sprinting, running, doing their things. Everybody's there. There's free agency. There's a tampering period. There's, there's the draft obviously happening in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. There, there's owners meeting somewhere in there. Yeah, they're where they're going to vote on stuff Maybe five years in future. Trading coach push again. Possibly basketball. Don't do that basketball. Uncle Duke.
C
Yeah.
D
Sick.
A
What a finish. Two court storms. Yes. Two court storms. The Olympics are happening.
H
Kind of bored.
D
Yeah, a little bit.
A
Okay. I don't like it.
D
Commentators.
E
It came out of nowhere.
A
Really want to have a hammer d Cowboy said he. I'll be the odds on favor to not know these are happening. Me too. I turn on tv. I saw something happen. I'm like, are these trials? What's going on right now? They're like, no, this is live. This is for the thing. I'm like, what a Saturday. This is a nice little addition. And all of a sudden I see Ilya. This guy is the back flipper. Yeah, and quads. And the quads. But I think the Japanese guy was better. I. I was told that nobody could touch Ilya because his point ranking like Simone Biles is so damn high that like nobody be able to catch. That's a lie. They got a guy.
E
He got caught.
A
Cole in the team event now.
E
Okay.
A
We end up winning.
C
Oh, oh, okay.
A
Shot. We got a couple that's married too, by the way. That did a.
C
They were all sweet.
A
Yeah.
C
That was unreal.
A
And they're married and they've been doing this a long time. Having a moment, you know. You see the hair? The. The hair on the one. Awesome. So we won that. That was sick. That was awesome. The Italian lady went into speed skating. I guess she wasn't supposed to there in Italy. That. That was like. When I. When I turned it on, I thought for sure we were supposed to win those things.
E
We won gold on the one where Lindsey Vaugh crashed. We had.
A
We just had Breezy. Breezy Johnson. Incredible name. 20 years old. Very crying in there. Lindsay Vaughn story. Crazy, you know, that was great. Tears. Acl. I'm still gonna do. Does a test run fast. Maybe runs like. Maybe wins the whole thing on this test run As a 41 year old, I think. And then her run looks like a little bit of a buckle. And then all of a sudden she's in a helicopter dangling above Italy. That was crazy.
E
People pay a lot of money for that.
A
That was crazy. Not in that particular way. Good tour, though. Yeah. And I hope she's going to be okay. I don't know if we've got any update. I hope. Obviously incredible athlete. But yeah, the Olympics came out of nowhere for all of us. I think. Tone.
E
Honestly, I think we're. I think we're still dominating curling. But no, it's like it was.
D
Yeah.
A
I saw great British. Yeah, he was doubles, mixed doubles, mixed doubles. And I think we end up losing 6, 4 or something like that. I just seen another one.
E
But there was no pallet cleanser. Between football season and the Olympics, I feel like we needed a day.
A
Yeah. To Rico literally doing post game. Yep. This is fun, right? Too. Let me tell you about what happened in Italy earlier today with the confetti around them.
C
Yep.
A
Crazy transition. Incredible motor out of Mike Tirico, who's obviously a stud. We are big fans of his. And Chris Collinsworth6 Super bowl last night, did his thing. That's Chris Collinsworth football there to a T last night. So him being around the game for so long and also having to introduce himself to fans that maybe as a former NFL wide receiver, he said a couple times. I didn't know if that was a resume check for people like Conor, you know who.
D
I don't need a resume check. I just need him off my tv.
A
Exactly. I don't. I don't know if he was saying that to Connor and other people, I think, like. Or it was to the people that have never really watched and didn't know. I'm like, hey, I'd like to let you know, I'm a person that did this. So I. I'm speaking from this perspective. I think it was great. But yeah, you're right. The Olympics came out of nowhere. But I love hearing that national anthem at the end. I absolutely love it. And the team figure skaters, they got there, they started jump. I mean, in skates, doing the whole thing. They're dangerous. They live in the dangerous.
C
Yeah, you're right.
D
You're right.
A
Which is why we should be excited for the next couple weeks watching Lynn.
D
USA Hockey.
C
When?
A
Yeah, Thursday.
D
Yeah.
G
Boom.
A
Thursday. USA Hawks. Our women's already started. They're better than everybody. Good sport. It feels like very fast. But on that note, at Darius J. Butler, nine year NFL veteran. D. But basketball going to be good for us this offseason or you think it's going to be NFL storylines that are going to win today? Because remember, Players championship coming up. Might. May. Who knows USA Baseball coming up. We might, may. You know, never know. Combine coming up. We might, may. You never know. There's so draft coming up. We might. There's so many. Hey, there's so many. We won't.
D
We'll be off final. Foreign championship is here, though.
A
Okay.
B
Okay.
A
And we might. We might. There's a lot coming in the off season, but it is a tough morning this morning when you wake up and say football season is done. It's over.
F
So tough.
A
And then you look in the mirror and you think you're yourself. Did you properly appreciate this football season when you were watching that fourth quarter as Drake May was coming alive and he started seeing some special stuff. Borealis hits a left footed back onside kick that ends up not working but still I like a little bit of sauce being played in. You think to yourself this ain't happening for long since 207 days after this 13 this morning. 213 days.
B
Yeah.
D
Sorry about that.
A
So I thought about that. Did you think about that as well or what are your thoughts reflect I.
B
Thought about that last week night when you see the confetti. Obviously it's a great season. It's a great story for Sam Darnell and the Seahawks and obviously all the other players as well but it's always tough. But I at least I'm going to find something to hold on to NBA basketball playoffs when the playoffs get going.
A
I do love they're saying that league's.
B
Ass right now the playoffs will always deliver and that goes for most they're.
A
Saying people losing by 20 some already.
B
Playoffs NBA play playoffs deliver. We got the World Baseball Classic. You mentioned it and for me the pinnacle I mean I saw my goat sir Lewis Hamilton at the super bowl with some company as well but I Cadillac talked about hearing the anthem Maybe we'll be hearing the national anthem at a couple F1 tracks this year we win a couple with Cadillac. They unveiled their livery which was.
A
Hold on. They run the national anthem when you win.
B
Yeah. Whoever is the the Jacks we're. That's the top of the podium.
A
So if Cadillac wins which we're going to by the way we're coming in.
B
Jetta could be in Brazil could be wherever you are in the country. Whoever wins their national anthem so not.
D
The racers national anthem the team.
A
Oh yeah. Let's drive. Let's get American driver.
D
I don't think there's American driver.
E
Jeff Gordon and Tony Stewart are the two drivers for catalog.
A
Are they putting Tony Stewart out there? Tell you what.
I
Yeah.
A
Tony Stewart in F1 is okay, let's move along. You watch the F1. That's where we're at right now. We're here right? I didn't watch it.
D
What? What? No, that's what I'm saying. If you watch the F1 movie I think just like me you're going to give it one.
B
Sonny Hayes is our reserve driver.
E
Nice.
B
He may be up here.
A
Okay. That's Brad.
D
Yeah.
A
Okay, so I told you guys I want to watch it because I don't have the capability to add another thing into I'm interested in.
D
Agreed.
A
Okay. This is just like. It felt like it did this to you.
D
It did.
A
Did. There's some movies that come out that really sway people and buy them in. You remember that one where they made everybody vegan? Oh, yeah. You remember when that was happening?
C
I sure do.
A
Hey, watch this documentary. You'll never want to eat meat again. It's like, I like burgers. I am so sorry. I like chicken wings a lot. What? I don't. I know it's probably terrible, but a lot of. A lot of us like to do that, so we apologize. But I had a couple friends that watched that. No more wingies. Done forever. And I'm like, I can't risk.
B
So too it.
A
I don't know. That's a good question. We should def.
B
Probably not.
A
What? Wings are too good. Chickens too.
D
Bacon.
A
Oh, steak.
D
Cooking bacon in your.
A
In your underwear is the best. Yeah, you're. Yeah. So I won't watch this F1 one. Cuz I don't want to get swayed. It seems like it's so awesome. Everybody loves F1 immediately after you do what I did.
C
You watch it, you love it, you enjoy. You talk about how. How if Brad Pitt actually drives in this, he'll be the best driver. And there's kind of a point I'm never gonna watch an F1 race. I love movies. Love the movie.
A
What about the Cadillac?
B
10 minutes away.
A
Not even.
C
No, it's different. If Cadillac team starts winning, then you might hear me saying, like, we got.
A
The best team in the world.
C
So, yeah, that is a possibility.
D
But the Cadillac driver does hammer pints. I will say, is he a man American. Yeah, he does. He does it.
A
What's his name? What's his name?
D
I just saw him in, like, a beer promotion on Instagram. I was like, this guy's cool. Clicked on his page.
A
He's a freaking driver. Did you see Joe Montana in a fanduel commercial with a dark beer? Everybody else had a light beer. Yeah. That was awesome. That's your Montana football. I was like, only Guinness. It can only look like Guinness. Well, we're at a bar of sports. Everybody's drinking like Guinness. I need Guinness in here. And he was holding it for a different company.
D
Vinny Jones in that as well.
A
Yeah. Yes, he did. Vinnie, by the way, great weekend.
C
Yeah.
A
Performance out of Adam Venetary. Better at a Luke Keakley. True breeze.
C
No doubt.
A
Larry Fitzgerald looked unbelievable. Cannot wait to meet Mr. Roger. Now joining us, ladies and gentlemen, is a man who was not squatted by the Martin, but he is a man who's won a Super bowl championship. He's won a college football national championship. He's a Ryder cup winner. Ladies and gentlemen, A.J. hoff.
D
A.J.
A
Hobble. Hawker. How you doing, man?
B
I'm doing great.
G
Happy handoff day, guys. I know we all were very aware of that and prepared, so yeah, it's a good day.
A
Happy hit. Happy.
B
There we go.
E
You don't want to fumble.
C
Good hand.
A
Wow. Yeah.
G
Two hands on that thing then.
A
Yeah.
H
All right.
A
Hold it the whole game. Oh, okay. I didn't know if you're holding.
G
I got my right hand. I got my right.
A
Okay. Down under the table. Sweet. Appreciative. Are you doing that? Let's talk about holding on to the ball. No turnovers. The Seattle Seahawks offense, zero turnovers all postseason. First time to do that since 2009 when Drew Brees beat the Indianapolis Colts. Hit a Super bowl in Miami in which the Colts had a lead at halftime and then on site kick started the second half. And then Drew Brees and his baby are in the confetti for the rest of their lives. He's now first bowel hall of Famer. Congrats to him. And now the Seattle Seahawks potentially are they lining up to do this again and again and again? AJ what's your take away from the Seattle Seahawks team? Feels like with McDonald there defense always going to be elite. Sam Darnold seemingly never in a. A better place than in Seattle with the team that is rallied around him then special teams perfect. What are your thoughts on the Seattle Seahawks team and what could possibly be now that we know that they can win the Super Bowl?
G
Yeah, I mean it's. It's unbelievable season what they were able to do in this game last night. I mean Sam using his feet, that was like the X factor. I think that we. We may not have thought of before this game.
A
Game.
G
He being able to elude like free runners a few times was. Was gigantic too. But I mean everything they did, the field goes the. The special teams pinning them down inside the 4, 5, 6 yard line multiple times in Witherspoon. This dude Blitzen also I'm very happy for Derek Hall. This guy right there. I think Will Campbell kind of got screwed a little bit trying to get some chip help and he almost knocked him off. You knocked your guy. Knocked him into Drake May so I don't know if that one's on Will Campbell, as much as some other people may have. Think so. But look at Witherspoon. Like, how are you ever going to block that dude? He's running a 411 and he's so violent. Like, they just. Their defense is an absolute thing, a beauty to watch.
A
Okay, so tell me about being able to get home with four and then let alone bringing pressure. And drake may being 23 years old and thinking to himself, jace, what the hell is going on on the other side of the line of scrimmage? Do you think it was more that or the moment? I think it was Drake May23, second year, first year in this system, learning a lot about what NFL defenses can do throughout this playoff run and saying, holy cow, hell, now we got to recalibrate in off season. I think Drake May will win a Super Bowl. A.J. your thoughts?
G
Yeah, I think he definitely will at some point. He is so young and he. I mean, what he was up against is something that not many quarterbacks have had to face in a Super Bowl. Like, the. The amount of pressure they're able to get on. Like, he just was never comfortable. We say it all the time, like, oh, you gotta. You gotta get a quarterback off the spot, make him feel uncomfortable. Well, that's. That's what this Seattle defense did from, like, the first snap of the game. Like, they just absolutely relentless. And I guess we shouldn't be shocked. Like, how many players at super bowl, at media row told us, like, hey, this defense is violent. They're coming like the snap of the ball. They are coming downhill, they're penetrating, and they get there with bad intentions. I feel we had multiple players tell us that throughout the week.
A
Brock Purdy definitely said that he was like every single player in D. But it wasn't just that they're coming with bad intentions. It's also, like, a lot of moxie on that Seattle Seahawks defense as well.
I
Yeah.
A
Yeah.
B
And that's what Brock Purdy talked about. When we hear about defenses or just players talking in general, I forget who asked them from our show about, you know, shit talking and getting after, obviously, the toxic table with talking Brock Purdy. But he was like. He was talking about the Seahawks defense and how much just energy they have and how much shit they're kind of talking to each other and hyping people up. And I mean, you can see it when you turn the tape on when you're watching it on tv. You can see the guys flying around. You can see that they're one of those defense who is like. And A.J. you've been a part of this on the sideline like, hey, who's going to make the next play? Who's going to make the next play? And like on the Patriots, when you're playing offense like that, it's almost like, all right, who's. They're taking turns making mistakes. So it was tough, you know, tough sled for Drake May, but just a phenomenal job by the Seattle Seahawks defense all year long and then played their best, you know, in the biggest stage.
A
Yeah, a defense is obviously incredible, but whenever they have maybe the best punter and ball punting for them, whenever the ball needs to be sent the opposite direction. What a game, What a season. I mean, a couple weeks ago, hits the ball so high, obviously caused a turnover late, helps Seattle go on to win. Then in super bowl. You're talking about innovative, courageous punts, not only pinning them deep, but obviously setting the Seattle Seahawks defense up to be historic. Ladies and gentlemen, the first ever Australian born Super bowl champion punter for the Seattle Seahawks, Michael Dixon. What's up, lad?
I
What up? Hey, how we doing?
A
Congratulations, man. Genuine.
I
Oh, thank you.
A
Okay. Cuz you obviously have been somebody I think that a lot of Australians have been inspired by whenever they come over to kick in America, but also American kickers and punters realizing what's possible with a football. So you getting a chance to experience the flowers and then in the biggest game that you've ever had, having one of your best games you've ever had and I, I'm, I'm saying one of them. I don't know where you would rank it. I think he's special, brother. You're good for the game. You need to know that as a whole, Michael.
I
Oh, yeah. Appreciate it. No, it's a blessing. I love being able to help the team out and get the defense rallying around me when I, when I pin it deep, you know, it's a, it's a crazy feeling.
A
Tell me about Jason Myers, obviously. Tell me about your game. Your entire special teams group feels like McDonald really cares. Feels like there's been real investment. I think they've invested in every asset or aspect of special teams. Can you tell me about the culture a little bit and how they treat the third phase?
I
Yeah, for sure. Mike definitely prioritizes it, gives us our time. We meet Jay harbor is a genius and you know, puts a lot of trust into our guys to, to execute some of our schemes and J obviously setting the record and just. He's a robot. The attention to details that, that he has, it's pretty, pretty crazy to see. And I'm so happy that he, he was able to ball out yesterday.
A
Yeah. Amen. Here's a stat from Hembo that we got about your entire special teams. We have a special teams efficiency dating back 20 years, since 2006. This Seahawks unit, 75.8 on 0 to 100 score scored the highest by any super bowl champion during that time. Great defense, phenomenal special teams. Don't turn the ball over. Feels like all old school football out there. Can you describe McDonald a little bit? Obviously you're with Pete Carroll for a while. Obviously you're from Australia, live in Seattle I think now for most of your life, as opposed to just down in Texas. Can you tell me about how life changes when McDonald gets in there as the head coach for you and for the team as a whole?
I
Yeah. So obviously Pete was the oldest, you know, coach in the league when, when he was here. And then we got Mike and he was the youngest and, and Mike came in and he was, he was just himself and genuine and he came in and told us like, hey guys, like, I'm. I'm going to, I'm going to do, do my thing and I believe in you guys. And he, it's been so fun to play with him just because, you know, he, he's so well read and he thinks about every aspect of the game and it's, it's been, it's been so cool and we've learned a lot from, from him. As, as I did with the.
A
AJ Has a question for you, champ.
G
Yeah?
A
Yeah.
G
Michael, I guess. What about you personally? How did you feel yesterday riding to the stadium, getting out there pregame? Did you feel something special in the air? Like you feel some electricity that your team was gonna, gonna find a way to get this win?
I
Yeah, I mean, all week the guys were super chill. We, we had meetings at the hotel on, on game day before we headed over, and everyone was chill. So I knew that we were going to come out with some swag and, and do our thing. And, and yeah, we did it. I mean, this, this group is super confident and, and laid back. We got a pretty young team and, and they, they didn't shy away from the moment.
A
So when you're hitting balls and warmups, you know, or how long have you ever had bad warmup? When was the last time you had bad warmup going into game?
I
No, I don't really have a bad warmup. I, I feel, I feel like I'm pretty much just got my routine down and yeah, I feel Good.
A
Yeah, it looks like, Amy, you put that 51 yards on the sideline. And by the way, having Torico as the commentator for you, great news, because early. I don't know how much you've heard early in the game, Tirico giving you your flowers. Like a lot of people saying, this guy's best in the league. I mean, this is what it is. Then boom, inside the five, then you have backed up, punt, bang. 51 yards on the side, sideline, no return. Like, Tirico gives love. And also, the game was very boring. I mean, you're talking about like 10 punts and 12 possessions. It was like you were the highlight there for a while and Tirico was showcasing it. You're good for ball, man. You really are. You can take the Lombardi back to Australia. We saw Robert Irwin try to tackle an American crocodile on our show. I don't know if you saw that. He did the American Death roll. You're gonna have to check it out on the floor. Yeah, but Australia hosting game, obviously, big deal. You taking Lombardi back there. And what are your kind of thoughts on Australia getting more invested in the NFL, which we are very pumped for.
I
Oh, I love it. The game's going to be a sellout. There's going to be a hundred thousand people there. It's going to be the Rams 49ers. Hopefully. Hopefully the season after this one, the Seahawks get out there and play in Sydney or something. That would be. That'd be a dream come true because the. The game has grown so much.
A
Much.
I
It's been really cool to. It's been really cool to watch.
A
What's the lingo we need? Crikey, there's another one in there. There's one word.
I
What.
A
That you guys use. You know, it's kind of like what you.
D
It's how many letters? What you do.
E
Yeah, how many letters?
A
It's kind. Yeah. It rhymes with what you may be the best in the world. Yeah, I think I know what you mean. Australia good. Hey, I think it was a cool culture. I was down there for eight, 10 days. Every Aussie I've met through the punting world, it's like, I'm a fan of, like. I. I think your guys's vibes, athleticism, everything is great for sport. I'm happy the NFL's going back there. Time is crazy, though. The time? Yeah, time is insane.
I
Oh, yeah.
A
How do you do that with family? Do you, like, have set times that you catch up with people? How's that all work?
I
Yeah, I mean, it's hard to. It's hard to FaceTime with the time difference, obviously, but there's like sections of the day, you just make it work. And then traveling, like, everyone's freaking out about traveling with the team, but, you know, to go play there. You leave at night and then you land in the morning. It's really. I think people are, you know, overestimating how jet lag they're going to be. I feel like it's worse when you go to Europe, so I think. I think everyone will be fine.
A
I like where your head's at. Okay, now, the thing that scared the hell out of me and, you know this is, you know, they have a screen in front of you. It's tracking where a plane is. That's all but blue. There is nothing. There is not a single. We're 10 hours into that thing, and it's all blue. It's like, okay, so if anything happens here at all, there's no chance. No, there. There is. So you kind of get that going, you know, as you're sitting in a tube for that long. But you're right. If you are able to make it to waking up in the morning, there it is. Like, fresh up. And then the coffee there, Food. Oh, yeah, the food's so good over there.
I
So, yeah.
E
Yeah.
A
You're world champion here, though. Don't ever forget it. All right, Dixon, let's not forget it. Okay?
F
Okay.
A
We got a couple more questions for you. Go ahead, D. Bud.
B
Congrats again, champ, as a defensive player. And that great defense you play with, as a punter, you're a part of that defense. Like a punt. That's the first play of defense. I'm sure you probably wear a defensive colored jersey in practice. I hope you do. So I want to just ask you, what's your relationship with that defense? I know a lot of young guys that fly around, talk a lot of shit, which I love. What's your relationship with that defense? And then Mike McDonald, I want to ask about the prop. You guys have your team meeting room that made its way to the Internet with all the helmets, kind of the heads of the opponents that you've conquered throughout the season. What was your first reaction to seeing that?
I
Yeah. Relationship with the defense is like, we're. We're close. I love those guys. And like I said earlier, you know, I. I down one inside the 10, and everyone's running up, pat me on the head and getting around it. So that obviously means a lot. But, yeah, I mean, we're cool outside of the you know, outside of the game as well. So this. This unit is super close.
A
It's.
I
It's been really fun to be on this team. Yeah.
D
And then the.
I
The helmet stacking, I mean, it's just a cool visual and. Yeah. I mean, collecting. Collecting heads.
A
Yes. Yes, you certainly are. Yes, you certainly doesn't feel like it's going to stop. You know, it just doesn't feel. And we were telling the Niners that they were coming on the street. The show, obviously, all week, Fred was a part of the actual coverage.
D
Oh, yeah.
A
Kyle Shanahan a part of the actual coverage. NFC West, San Francisco 49ers, large part of the coverage. And then all of a sudden, you got the NFC West. Seattle Seahawks actually in the Super Bowl. Interesting dynamic there, especially with the relationship. Go ahead, Ty.
C
Yeah, speaking of that was that. I'm sure, you know, leading up, you're got. You guys obviously aren't thinking about that at all, but after you win the game and you're celebrating and you got, you know, the hats and smoking cigars and everything. Everything. Was there any part of you that was kind of like, you know what? This is actually awesome that we won this in the Niners stadium and we kind of get to just stick it right up a division rival's ass one more time a couple weeks after beating the shit out of them, for sure.
I
I mean, that made it. That extra bit. It was a cherry on top. You know, there was in the locker room, all the 49ers logos were plastered with Seahawks logos.
A
Yes.
I
And. Yeah. I mean, it made it extra sweet. It couldn't be any better.
A
Better.
I
It's perfect.
A
The future of that NFC west looks very good, you know, for the long haul. Obviously, you know that. How old are you now? Feels like you're very. You're vet now. Vet. Vet now.
F
Yeah.
I
I just turned 30, so I'm going into my ninth year. This. Coming this next year.
A
Okay. So you guys start kicking over there when you're like four, right? Let's have a kick. Let's have a. You do the entire thing and it. It feels like. I mean, with way punter and technology is. Thomas Mor just finished up, what year, 19 or something?
D
Something like that.
A
You got another 10 years of doing this, you think, in. In the. Yeah.
I
Yeah. I mean, this is. This is. I've. This has been my best year hitting the ball. I've. I mean, each year I've improved, so I'm like, why not? I mean, not even halfway my career.
A
Hopefully you got more to do with it. Are you guys bringing in the banana ball and all this other stuff? I mean that last punt where you turn that song bitch sideways, you know, and line drive that thing over their heads. The reason why I think it's so impressive is because if that's a foot lower, that's hitting somebody's head and then all of a sudden you know, this is worse than night of Dixon's life. Instead, the amount of courage and confidence in yourself that that takes just to be like, let me go ahead and just sidewind this thing over 6 foot 4 freak athletes heads because if one somebody puts their hand up and blocks that, this guy's a dipshit. Dixon. Dixon's an absolute dipshit. But instead like just having the ability to move the pocket a little bit right or left, being able to athlete, it almost. It's like you're, you're special talent. Michael, it's really cool to watch. Is there more on the horizon? Are we just mastering everything we already have?
I
Yeah, I think there's, there's a couple that I've been playing with that. I mean it's more situation based that I should, I might, might bring them out next year. We'll see.
A
Yeah, let's run a score touch. Yeah.
I
Oh yeah.
A
Let's go ahead and do one of those. We appreciate you, man. Safe travels back. What's next, you guys? The parade, I guess Antonio has a question.
C
Yep.
E
Michael, is there any one of your teammates that we need to keep our eyes open for at the parade? Who's going to put on a show at the parade? Like if you had to pick one, you know, A.J.
A
Snyder.
I
A.J. barn is going to do something funny.
E
Okay, good.
I
He's a meathead, so I'm sure.
A
Great touchdown. First touchdown of the game. Fourth quarter. AJ Barner. Shout out to him. He won a lot of us money. He won a lot of us a lot of money. Very, very, very pumped for AJ Barner. Tell that meathead to enjoy the hell out of what he just did. He certainly should. John Schneider is who AJ said. AJ is that going back to the Packer days, John Schneider could really tear it down, you know, especially with what he accomplished.
G
Yeah, he's a, he's a man's man. I would say he's going to, he's going to enjoy himself. He absolutely should. He's the first guy ever to do this right as a gm.
A
Yeah, absolutely. For new team now. Hey Michael, what is the Australian Fosters? Foster? Are you just ordering all the Fosters in the Western United States of America? For the parade or how's that going?
I
No, I think. I think Fosters is kind of like the Outback Steakhouse of beers.
A
What, you're telling me the bourbon onion isn't right real either? You son of a.
E
That was great.
A
What do you mean? What do you mean by that?
I
Yeah, no, I mean, I don't see anyone drinking. Drinking Fosters.
D
Yeah. You're in America.
C
Yeah.
A
Australian for beer. Exactly. That was good marketing. They got us.
C
Yeah, big time.
A
They got. Have you seen the. Okay. You know rugby, probably because you grew up in Australia, right?
I
Yeah. Yeah, I know it.
A
Okay.
I
Do they play it?
A
But I don't know, do they do the Oklahoma drill? Drill? Like, is that thing that we're seeing on TV right now or on the Internet? Is that, like, a known rugby drill? Like, how do we get to that point? Because the one that we're watching, I think is founded by Aussie dudes. I think all these are founded by Aussie dudes. And it. It's just rugby running directly at each other. This is called Run Nation. I believe it hit this weekend. Run. It was another organization that we've seen on the Internet for a while where they were just kind of doing it at a field where there was just a line of people and they were just running into each other. Is that normal? And how were you at this game? Good, I assume. And can I jump over the person?
I
This. I think this is kind of like. This was something that people would probably do at practice or at school. You know, it's just a way to kind of see. See who wins to. To flex on the other person. But, yeah, I mean, it's blown up. It's a crazy, crazy sport. I would never. I would never do that.
A
Okay, so southern part of Australia, if I'm correct, Aussie Rules Football. Right. And then. Then northern kind of rugby. Is that accurate?
I
Yeah. So it's. Yeah. East Northeast is more rugby. I grew up in Sydney. That's more rugby. But then Melbourne, Victoria, South Australia, Western Australia, that's more Aussie rules.
A
Who's your team?
I
Collingwood Magpies.
A
Oh, hey, I was. Coxilla. I. I was a big fan of the Magpies for a while. I'm gonna let you know, though, Brisbane Lions gave me a jersey. We switched, went back to back. We just went back to back. Yeah. It's great to be a Brisbane lion brother. I want to let you know, we love that sport. That's a great. I didn't know about that until, like, co. I learned about Aussie Rules Football and co. Because everybody Said that punting style that you guys were doing. Rugby style. Rugby style. Rugby style. It's like. I guess it is rugby style, but all these dudes are Aussie rules football players. I had no idea that was the case until Covid. Great game, great sport.
I
Yeah, no, it's fun. Yeah, I miss it. I still dream about it sometimes, and I'm out there killing it in my dreams, so it'd be cool to go home and watch it.
A
Are you getting some species? What is kind of.
I
Oh, yeah, yeah. I'm getting species kicking it around, scoring goals.
A
You know what you're doing now in real life, bro?
I
Yeah, I know. Even better.
A
Yes, sir. But also, I mean, hitting one of those. What is that? At the cricket grounds, I believe. Oh, yeah.
D
Off somebody's back in the grand final.
A
Oh, my God. Then you back that thing up, and then now it's your turn. It's like, what a moment. I. The dramatics of it all are awesome, too. I got a chance to go watch it in real time. Somebody goes up there, lands, obviously, there's a huge reaction. There's supposed to be a clock on how much time they have to kind of get the next kickoff. That clock is. There's a lot of, like, zero. It's okay there. Great sport, man. Obviously, have created some legends. Congratulations on winning a Super Bowl. And hopefully this becomes even more of a pipeline Australia into the NFL, because obviously, obviously, I think the continent will love American football. We appreciate you, man.
I
Oh, thank you so much.
A
No problem. Hey, take care, dude. All right, Fosters. Yeah.
E
Yep.
F
Okay.
C
Good to know.
A
Yeah.
D
Kind of a dick move if you ask me, to just hang up like that, but that's just me.
A
I think he was. I think it was the perfect answer, actually. Perfect ending to the conversation. He's a weapon. He's really, really good. Yeah, he's actually 30.
B
That's crazy.
D
He's been in the league. Like, I thought he was the only guy.
A
So Brad Wing, I don't know if he left LSU earlier. Dixon left Texas early. I don't. One of them left early, and it.
E
Was like, I saw Dixon was the MVP of their. What's called, bowl game.
A
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I think he left. I don't know if that was early, but then he left. But, yeah, he is. He's unbelievable. All the Aussie guys that came over, it was like, hey, they could be the next Dixon. They could be the next this. They could be. And then for him to actually be the one, because a lot of tried, like, a lot of Tried a lot of great Aussie punters in college. Few have obviously made it into the NFL. Scotland now has a couple, Ireland has a couple kickers. It's like these ball kicking countries are starting to get kind of end to the NFL. But out of Australia, Michael Dixon was the one where everybody was like, oh, this is possible, this is possible. It's like, I think he's pretty unique. No matter what country he was from, I think he is very, very unique.
B
With what big is he?
A
I think I would assume he's a strapping laugh. I would assume. But his, he has the ability. They call it a torpedo, which is what we do for punting. They call it a torpedo kick. His ability to torpedo the ball. Tight spiral with a bad drop means he's like athletic. He like has to change his foot to his drop, which is only happening in like half a second because his drops are kind of interesting. They're down and inside, but the way he's able to control it and then he's got all these other. It's like the amount of courage it takes to do it in a Super bowl in that particular memo, obviously huge. But the amount of talent you have to have for all of that, it's like, he's special, dude. I, I appreciate all the international ball kickers coming, but it's like I think it's gonna be tough to find, you know, just another Michael Dixon. Like I, I know we're, we're selling like, hey, there's more Michael Dixons and maybe there someday. I don't think there's going to be a lot of them though. I think there is levels to this whole thing. America, Ireland, Scotland. Australia. Dixon's a guy no matter what.
D
Tight chart of my lotta. Like you kind of think, oh, okay, Australia has Dixons and my Ladas just growing on trees and they're all over there and they're eventually just going to come over and become, you know, superstar punters and left tackles, but it's few and far between. I mean, that's why he's what, the, the first punter? Yeah.
A
Hard to make the league.
D
Yeah.
A
Six, two, two, ten. He left early.
B
Okay. Yeah. Big. So the kick and punt in college, I just punted. Just punted still.
A
Yeah. Dude, he was like, what are you doing that game?
C
Great question.
A
Inside. That's what it was.
D
Like 14 tackles.
A
That's. He was him when. But him going to Seattle is just so far away.
C
Yeah.
A
You know, punter in Seattle. I mean, think about the amount of stories. Yeah, that's Not a lot of, like.
D
National, especially with the defense.
A
He caused the turnover. What was that, two games ago?
E
So it says they punted 11.
D
Yeah. Against the Rams punt.
E
They punted 11 times in that bowl game. 10 inside the 15.
A
So.
D
Okay.
B
Okay, that'll do.
A
Yeah. Yeah. Pretty damn good. And whenever you asked him if he wears a defensive jersey, he. He said, yes, I do, or whatever. It's like, I think he takes a lot of pride in what he does. He's obviously phenomenal. Seems to be super chill. Yeah, big time super chill.
C
Great mood today, that's for sure.
A
Well, how about Bob Irwin?
C
Oh, yeah.
A
Now we got Nixon on the program. Kind of going down under here a little bit. Start working on that Aussie accent. I know I need to. To.
C
I need to continue to kind of brush it off.
A
How about him saying, and everybody talks about the flight, like, leave at night, wake up in the morning. It's kind of time.
C
Way worse going to Europe, see.
A
Okay, starting to get into it. I appreciate you doing. Let's start working on that because I think down under is going to become big for football as a whole. Speaking of football as a whole, you know, it's nice to have hindsight in this particular sport, in this particular game, especially in the biggest game of the year. We started a segment last week that we certainly should have started about beginning of the season maybe two years ago. Ladies and gentlemen, it's time for Monday Morning DC with db. Now, obviously, Monday morning means, like Monday Morning Quarterback, where we have the incredible heads up of hindsight on what actually happened. So this is coming from a space of how would you have stopped it with one of the best defensive minds to ever speak into a microphone, Darius J. Butler, how we fixing the problem problems that happened for New England last night if we're to look back at the film.
B
Well, you know what? It was tough to fix those problems because usually that's where we start, and we'll see that probably on the third one. But this one, since we have such a dominating defensive performance, we'll just go with the good to start out here. Let me get this stick back here.
A
Yep, yep.
E
Oh, nice.
A
Yeah, I like that. Yeah.
B
Just so we get a vision. Hey, great, great job last time.
A
Hey, it was pretty good. I felt like I knew what was happening. I've been trying. Yes, sticks. Now we hit stick.
B
Okay.
A
Oh, nice.
D
Touch tips.
A
Swords.
B
Hand off dates. Touch tips.
A
What's your problem?
D
That's what you do. You touch tips.
A
I don't even know.
D
Touch tips and explode on that board. Baby, let's go. Come on.
A
I don't even gotta talk about it.
G
Dock those things. Here we go.
A
We are about to. We're about to take a trip on boat into super good football analysis.
B
Where we at, Mike? We good with the mic?
A
Yeah.
B
Okay. Okay. So third and 15. We talked a bunch about this defense and how they do a lot with two shells, you know, play it back. Four rushers once you get in third and 15 and he's long down and distances now a Coach like Mike McDonald can just dial it up and do whatever you want. So now you have a different look here. You got Emmy warrior down here in the edge. You got job impress, split safety look. And then their bless best blitzer, probably the best blitzing DB when it comes to a true nickel slot with Devin Witherspoon. Young dynamic corner coming from the slot. Times this up perfectly. AJ Mentioned it earlier. With the speed that he hits the line of scrimmage with is no way that these offensive tackles or offensive guards are going to be able to move their feet and stay in his way. And this is a skill that you kind of just almost have to be born with as a db.
A
Yeah. The timing is so important, AJ because they get locked up on their guys, right. I got one or outside guy two or who because comes and he just kind of gets sneak in. Maybe, maybe this offensive line isn't as ass as everybody's saying. Maybe it's just scheme and problems attacking what they know their week is.
B
It's plays but it's also players because you can dial this up for a lot of players and there's no way they get through that traffic. Over the years, over the history of the game, I can think of like Charles Woodson or like the honey Badger. Some of these players just have a natural. Like they're football players and they have a feel for how to hit it one, when to hit it. Because pre snap Drake may a give if you. Yep. Pause it here. A give a tail for a slot blitzing defender. Is the safety behind him. You have that safety behind because once he leaves, typically this guy or a guy from the inside is going to take his responsibility.
A
You see that AJ So right now.
B
You got the top.
A
Why would they be stacked on top of each other? Drake, that's. That's what he's going to learn going forward, right? That's right.
D
Yeah. But also for the offense. D. But like is there not some sort of. Hey, I'm just gonna. Instead of running a vertical 20 yards downfield because you're Never gonna see me at. Is there not just some, like, check to, you know, a hot rod hot route, Bradley Cooper wedding crashers just run a hitch.
B
It definitely could be if you pause it though, offensively, and this will be a better question, I'm sure, for aq who can really break it down.
A
He's gonna be so pissed with what.
B
I'm doing off offensively. We got six rushers now. Run it back to the very beginning, please. So Ernest Jones, he's showing. You got Emma Ward showing. He's going to drop out, though. So I don't know where they slid, how they counted. He's going to drop out and the added rusher is going to come from the eye. He's not even in the screen right now because I perfectly times it up. But numbers wise, you still have six on six, you got five offensive linemen with the back and you got six rushers. So on paper. And then even Henry's getting a chip in there. So on paper, you should have enough to pick this up.
A
He lets him go. Goes to help him, I think, because, yeah, get a big whiff.
B
Yeah, you got a six man protection. Plus the tight end chip in. AQ will clean us up, I'm sure. But. Yeah, but I mean, that's just a great feel for it. Great job timing it up and a great call and a long down and disc for Mike McDonald.
A
So what are we saying? We're saying, hey, the guy's coming. Let's just know that that's Monday morning quarterbacking right now.
B
That's Monday morning quarterbacks and fixing it up, having the protection. I'm sure in the online, in the trenches, in their room, they're really talking about how do we get on the same page picking this up, especially against this defense. I'm sure they saw this on tape and some type of variation. Maybe it was Emma worry, maybe it was love, whoever it was. And that's the other thing about Seattle. They have so many different defensive backs and defensive players that can do different things at a high level.
A
Great tacklers, too.
G
I thought.
A
Thought Drake was going to get away a lot more than he did. Whenever there was some pressure, he was getting tackled a lot. Joining us now, ladies and gentlemen, is a man who might know a little bit more about what the big boys were doing on this particular ma. Ladies and gentlemen, our host in the trenches, AQ Shipley. What the hell is going on out here? We didn't know that Witherspoon was coming. And you think that's the problem? What about Moses does he see him? This is Monday morning quarterbacking. Obviously, in the moment, it's much harder than what we have right now from the sky cam. We're not dogging anybody. But what happens in this situation? Should he be calling that dad out? Should the center be calling that out? Should. How does this kind of normally operate? And they fix this?
D
Yeah.
H
So the interesting thing is, is as they have all the guys up, you. They can bring four to the left, they can bring four to the right. Have no idea. With the center going right, you are in a sort protection. So you got center, guard, tackle for three. For most dangerous four, you should go inside out. So Moses actually should have stopped on the db. So as the DB comes, he should have stopped there. I think he tried to. Just missed him as he makes an inside move. Just like he made Will Campbell look silly on the other side on an earlier play. But we always tell the running back, the running back has coast to coast. So he starts left thinking that that is his dependent. Has his guy. Well, he has to stay there because that guy comes so he can't come across for the other guy, which then leaves. It should be the outside most guy on the quarterback should be able to throw hot. But Moses misses the DB coming inside, and as he comes inside, he misses him. So that guy comes free. This is hot. Should be hot off the outside guy.
A
This is hot right here.
H
Yeah, that's hot. That's who you got to get it to right now. And you got to know that if they bring four to the right, right, or four to the left, then you're. Then you got to get rid of that ball fast. And that's on Drake May.
A
Okay, so this is a great scheme, too, because they keep running back this way, right? This is a McDonald's special. Damn near.
H
Yeah, Absolutely. I mean, this is one of those things because he's shown that look a million times and only brought 4 right DB. Like at the end of the day, he has that same look where he shows seven, brings four, brings five, brings six, or can bring seven, and ultimately that covers the zero.
A
All right. Is the next one with offensive line.
B
Next one is as well. Yep.
A
Hey, Q, will you hang around here?
H
You got all the time in the world, boys. Come on, let's go.
A
Hey, what are you doing? You're really aggressive. Comment?
C
I would say poking a bear.
A
Wait, what he did aggressive?
G
Oh, yeah, he did.
A
What he do?
E
What he do?
H
You start train? I start training the boys tomorrow. I got a couple guys in the shipyard tomorrow, but today I got Nothing but time for you guys.
A
Okay. Nothing but time. Nothing but time. Thor called him fatso.
C
Yeah.
A
What does he call Thor? Well, he got a. What are we doing? Yes, I would have love to line.
H
Up and do o line drills and show them what leverage all of them.
A
Okay. What if he goes like this to you? Crushes your skull? I do appreciate that you.
H
Then I would have turned into a UFC fighter. I learned from Justin Gates you just kicked the perennial nerve.
A
Okay, all right. I. I do appreciate. Appreciate that you got offended by Martin calling you a fatso. I do appreciate that. I thought he was.
H
I didn't see the earlier part. By the way, he called AJ £450. So that at least makes me feel a little bit better.
A
Yeah, exactly. I think he was just cracking jokes. He speaks a different language. Yeah, he speaks a different language. Look at you. Yeah, he was just trying to talk sheppy with the boys.
C
That's right.
A
Thor. I would like to let you know AQ is offended by you calling him. And also Thor, AQ knows that we will hold that over his head for the rest of his life. That the mock world's strongest man said.
C
I can't lift that guy down to £600.
D
Yeah, right.
A
That's awesome. We appreciate you, Thor. He does not know.
D
He wants to fight you.
A
Thorpe, let's go to. No, whoa, whoa. We are not.
C
Do you, aq?
A
I don't know. I mean, he didn't say no, stop. We move on.
H
Hey, that's where the short arms might really come into play.
C
Sorry.
A
I'll tell you what we were watching Short arm. Nope. Yes, we were. Torn McLaren. He had a torn MCL. It's on IR.
D
He's 22 years old, his first year. He's going up against what, the greatest scheme in the history of football. We're not.
B
We're not making excuses, people. We're not doing.
A
He had torn mcl. How you supposed to hate.
E
Hey, so did someone else been playing then?
A
Nice. Well, he's.
D
Or maybe. Or maybe. Maybe we throw six, zero lineman in, though. Tony, that's not a bad idea.
A
Well, maybe a little assistance maybe with some big bodies out there. Certainly torn mcl is going to be tough to hit. That's going to be tough to do. That's going to be tough to do. Honestly, I think we just found out through the conversation with Jack Collinsworth that it was officially a torn mcl. Because remember, he had the towel over his head when the whole thing happened.
D
I thought his whole knee exploded when it first happened. Like it Was torn everything and it was just mcl. But I mean yeah, to debut point you don't make excuses but yeah, it is going to be pretty damn hard. As AQ would say re anchor yourself when you're getting bull rushed over and over again. But you know that that's. That's Monday morning offensive line coach.
A
Yes it is. And now let's do a little more Monday morning defense coordinator with db. What's next?
B
So the last one was a six man pressure on third and long. An obvious pass situation. If you run it back again this is when they like to bring their press pressures. Obvious passing situation. Now this is the scoring time. It's 22:7,437 on the clock and the fourth quarter, first and 10. So DB, you're playing with a ton of depth and once again Devin Witherspoon with a great disguise, great timing hitting this. Watch it. Boom. Better run. Let it run a little bit. Pause it here. So now you're bringing the pressure once again you're getting a free hitter. Looks like the running backs releasing through the line of scrimmage right past the Blitzer 1st and 10. Witherspoon not only gets the it looked like a force fumble force from recovery. I think they call it intercept reception. Pick six which is an unbelievable pace. Started with a spoon, ended with a woosu.
A
Incredible play. There is this thing in 1080p.
D
Yeah.
A
320 I'm gonna see incredible job breaking it down. Much clearer picture with the way you're describing it than what I was seeing there. I I was. That's a phenomenal, I mean incredible breakdown of what we need to see. I don't know if anybody see it looks incredible on tv.
B
Let me see it from the replay.
A
Yeah, I think it looks incredible. The.
B
Oh no.
A
Hey. These guys are unstoppable. So this is going to be forever now with the Seahawks. Yeah.
B
The SEO. This is what they do. This is what Mike McDonald does. And once again from that back that last replay you can see how however he gets home free. But you'll see numbers wise disguise once again dropper coming from the opposite side. And again you get a free hitter.
D
Witherspoon, they're so good.
C
Yeah.
A
Aq, what are you thinking here?
H
Hey, yeah, so can we, can we go to that, can we stop it from the other angle from the offenses behind. Can we bring it back to that?
A
Yeah, certainly.
B
Right here.
H
Right there. Perfect. Okay, so this is what I don't understand again this is a young quarterback, this is a rookie. Really he's his first year really starting full. So it's his second year obviously, but first year getting a full season. Right. So he will learn. You got to switch this protection. So as if we can rewind this just a little bit more. So the guy basically over top of the tight end db. Can you point to him? The guy off the ball? Oh no, no, a little bit further. Further off the ball over top of the tackle essentially.
D
Yeah, that guy.
H
There you go. So that's the Sam linebacker. It's a two by two formation, two by two over to tight end. So you got the Sam, now you got Mike and Will. Okay. So we always say find the middle of the three. So the middle of the threes over Morgan Moses, right tackle. Right, right there. So he should redirect this protection, send the center right. They would be 2 for 2 on the nose guard to the mic and then the back would pick up the D be you're picked up, you got all the time. He sends the center left. So now you get two free off the, off the left side like that. The back can only handle one. But as he saw it, the threat is the two most dangerous were to the right send the center right. Now the guard ends up on one of those two in the back has the other and you're picked up.
A
So he, he go New York, New York, New York is what he would say there before Michael. That's. That is what he would say 100%.
H
Tom Brady quarterback right there is switching that protection. He's thinking two most dangerous are going to be coming from the right, right there. If they don't, we're still picked up. And I can throw hot if they bring from the left.
B
And he's looking for that too. He's waiting for the guard.
G
Doesn't even block anybody. Aq. That's what they do. They, they get it to where they take advantage of it. Guard ends up cuz they're sending the whole line.
H
So he's got to, he's got to go with Leonard Williams. So that's a four for five. Five sliding the line, bringing on WENU with Bradbury all the way over to the left. But if they send the center right there now you're two for two center to the Mike linebacker and then the back can sit on the will. Who's the DB coming and then bam. All of a sudden you're picked up.
G
There it is.
A
That's Monday morning offensive line.
D
That's right.
A
Hey, we appreciate that aq. Thank you for joining us, man. Happy. Well, I don't really know, actually. Man.
D
Happy Olympics, boys.
H
I got you on the big screen.
A
Whoa. Thank you. Pretty good there. Good lighting there. I think you did a good job, don't you think? I just saw you on the big screen down there, lower corner. I thought.
H
I mean, I feel like Shefter over here. Shefter was a little shaky up there in la. A little shaky.
A
Come on. His shoulders. What do you think? He's been walking through the airport all day. He's carrying his bag, holding his phone. He's got a lot going on. You're saying you want to showcase that you have a nice sturdy forearm and tricep that you can lock in? Is that what you're saying?
H
Coming off super bowl week, tough journey out there. Then straight into waste management. I'm a little shaky too, boys.
A
Hey, a lot of journeys out there in San Francisco. Some signing up for more journeys, some, it appears, retiring journeys for the rest of their lives. Hanging up their Journey jerseys for the rest of their lives. Had a good time. Time Waste management seemed like a blast until you guys are yelling in people's backswings in, in, in extra holes or whatever.
D
Planes flying over.
A
Yeah. So what's going on? Waste.
H
That was, that was tough. The, the, the, the little shadow over Hideki's putt and then yelling in the backswing. We certainly wanted an American to win. Clearly.
A
Yeah.
H
American to win.
A
I don't like that that happened though, because I'll tell you what I like. Whenever people were able to have a good time and it be considered good, you know, this stuff, I, I think they were viewing it as a negative to golf where I think waste management is a good for golf. So, you know, there's little things that I think people just like whenever we're watching live and they're playing music around the green, it's like they got golf figured out. Probably shouldn't have a bunch of music just jamming as they're trying to drain a 6 inch putt. It kind of takes away the tension that's potentially happening. The immediate sound, and it sounded like it was metal, like somebody dropped something metal wise.
C
They said some worker who was working at the event dropped like a chair or something.
A
Yeah. And it was in the backswing, middle of backswing. It's like that is what the worst.
D
The playoff.
A
Yeah. In the playoff hole for the thing that's like worst case scenario, I think whenever it comes, like K stuff. So, you know, I like waste management. I haven't even had a chance to really go to it. No But I'm a big fan of what it is, so I would, like, get you there. I would like you guys to keep it over there, though, so it's not, you know, let's not be. Yeah, he's good. He would have been good. Champion.
D
Yeah.
H
What a pot, by God. What a pot, by God.
E
Are up, though.
H
I mean, it's unbelievable.
C
He showed out.
A
Yes, he certainly did a time when Scotty was gonna go or no.
D
Yeah, yeah.
A
Oh, good for you guys.
E
He got to, what, 14 or 15?
D
15.
A
Yeah.
H
AJ texted me. He goes, scotty's gonna win this thing.
A
And what you say? Yeah, right, brother. Wait till you see what we do.
D
These golfers watch this.
A
We got a shadow gimmick think we're gonna do. We got a whole thing. All right. We appreciate the hell out of you, aq. You're the man.
H
You guys are the best.
A
Thank you, guys.
D
Thank you.
A
He was not happy with Thor.
E
No, he wasn't.
A
All right, one more.
B
One more for.
A
Okay, awesome.
B
AJ could probably help me with this. Was the AJ Barner touchdown. Tough, tough spot to be in as a linebacker. So, right, pause it. Down in distance. Situation is always important when it comes to play calling. Right now you're up 120 if you're Seattle Seahawks coming into the situation. So now defensively, you're probably thinking, run the ball. Try to continue eating up clock. Little under 14 minutes left in the game. So first and 10, 12 personnel, you're thinking run. You let it play here. Watch all this communication that has to take place with these three players. And now pause it. All these players here, they have run responsibilities as well. This, this safety, now, he's on the tight end, he has a run responsibility, a run gap. This linebacker, he's also on the tight end. Barner, he has a run gap. So if you have a good play action, fake. You always talk about this element with quarterbacks, too, Especially quarterbacks that play a ton of under center and play action. Pass the Aaron Rodgers or Tom Brady's when they have that action that can hide the ball, do all the good things, and it marries up with the pass game in the run game. It's a great weapon to get guys wide open, open, especially in this part of the field. So right here, boom. Eyes are just in the wrong place. But it's. I've been in that spot my second year, actually. It was a specific play. Monday Night Football. Believe the Titan was Keller against the Jets. That got me benched. Third and one goal line situation. Eyes in the back field, play action Right over the head. You're the last person in the building to know what's coming. But see it from this back end. Aj, I know you've been in this situation a ton.
G
Oh, yeah. See, they, they set this up. I think I sent it into the group chat. Somebody put them together where they, they showed, they showed the same kind of look in this motion. They ran outside zone, I don't know, two, three, four times before this in the game. Just setting this up because it's true. Look at. If you're that outside backer. It happened on the fly too. Like it didn't. You didn't get a good look pre snap. It happens where all of a sudden they're putting the run fake directly in your face. And then you have this guy run the seven to the corner of the end zone. It just puts you in peril because you can't really play the run run as physical as you'd like. And you have to play the pass here because this is what happens. It's just, it's just a beautiful play call. And they set it up throughout the game, but they also set up because they were successful running the ball. If they would run the ball like garbage all night, maybe you get a better read and you see this and you don't let this play happen.
A
Kubiak and Fernando are going to be awesome.
D
Yeah.
A
Kobek might be the real, like, for real.
C
Oh, yeah.
A
You're talking about him setting it up and doing all this stuff. Similar things to Ben. Sorry, go ahead.
B
Not at one motion. Running back. Just look how many people 51 just has to communicate with. Right now he's on the safety. He's a linebacker now he's talking in his safety. And right now he's saying, hey, in and out with this linebacker. And he actually ends up doing it in and out with the safety over there. So as a nickel, I've been in this situation a ton. So right now the in and out is. Now he's on the back. He's on the tight end. With this in and out, you're going to be on the outermost tight end. So right now they both have to. You got to respect and honor the run fake, especially when the running back is not Kenneth Walker in this situation, but the back. They've been gassing you, especially in those outside zones. You got to honor the run fake, the run pass and honest play pass. And then you dial up wide open wide receivers and tight ends in this situation.

Learn more@Microsoft.com M365 copilot We have a top five coming out of the Super Bowls. Well, that we need to hit. You know, A.J. we've been doing this every single Monday all season. Have to do it for super overreaction Monday. Although we felt like the game was probably going to take, you know, both hours of conversation, we had at least have our top five headlines coming out of Super Bowl. AJ Number five Super special special teams. Myers and Dixon pitch perfect game. Nothing really else needs to be said. Both historic in their own ways, Both historic in their own jobs. In both a necessity to the Seahawks winning a Super Bowl. A.J. your thoughts?
G
Yeah, I'd say if you did not think that special teams, especially the punt is a, a gigantic piece of football. You saw that last night. Obviously being perfect on field goals, but the punts just absolutely hamstring that that Patriots offense. They had such a long field all night long.
A
Jason Myers becomes first player in the history of ball to go more than 200 points in a season, including the playoffs shout out to him. He might be on pace to maybe pass Vinnie in about 15 years. He never misses this guy, but once again he's in Seattle so nobody really talks about him. And then Dixon being able to do what he did, he becomes the only punter this century to have two punts pinned inside the five in the super bowl or whatever. Huge, absolutely huge game for both of them. Let's go to number four. The sun rose today. Drake May. It's not over. He's 23 years old. He did look like ass. That Seahawks defense did that to a lot of quarterbacks. I think he learns from this and moves forward. Connor, your thoughts on sun coming up today?
D
Yeah, no doubt about it. Use it as fuel, I think is what his message was to the rest of the team in the locker room last night with Mike Vrabel there as well. I think they'll be just fine.
A
Yeah. And let's Also remember number three headline. AJ he's a rookie and he had torn McLay. Will Kim was supposed to be anchoring. He's 22 years old. He had torn McL was in the Super Bowl. He was getting bodied a Little bit. I think it's going to fuel him. If anything we know about him is at actual seems to be a dog. I'm excited for him this offseason.
D
Yeah. And people are very matter of factly saying they're moving them inside. Let's give them offseason. Maybe lift some weights, get a little stronger here and then we'll see what happens.
A
Number two headline Dark side domination is the next dynasty actually up in Seattle. AJ Were we wrong about the coast?
G
I mean, I think it's definitely possible. I know she said they have some decisions they have to make. If they can keep this core intact. There's no reason why this Seattle Seahawks team can't be great for the next five, eight years.
A
Incredible players. But McDonald will be able to find those for his system. You think? And so Schneider young players.
B
I'm sure they'll pay the right ones. But most important hiring is going to be the next OC And John Schneider.
A
Want with the offense with Russell Wilson as opposed to Legion of boom. What do they do this time with a defensive head coach? Whenever they have to make those decisions, we shall see. And number one, Darnold and McDonald a match made by the football gods. Congratulations to them both changing their so quickly overnight about themselves. Sam Darnold. Hey. Super bowl champion. Sam. Mike McDonald. Super bowl champion. Coach. Congratulations, boys. You can win the biggest game on earth. You can win the Super Bowl. You're both certified. Seahawks are legit. We can't thank football enough for what it did for us this season. We're so incredibly lucky and thankful that we get to do this for a living. It only happens happens because all of you watch. The season wraps up here on this glorious overreaction. Monday. We'll be taking a couple weeks off. Okay. And when we come back, NFL combine.
C
Yeah.
A
USA Baseball Players Championship Draft. Then football again. Yeah. We're gonna try and enjoy it all. We're so lucky that this is what our lives are. I think San Francisco proved that even more. And this past season has been majestic. You all are the greatest people on earth. Thank you so much for letting us live this life. We'll see you in a couple weeks. Goodbye. Okay. Okay. Happy for them.
C
Nailed it.
A
Happy.
E
That was a good handoff.
A
Goodbye. Yeah. Sports.
G
Who'd you hand? Who'd we hand to?
A
And they're doing the handoff.
D
Yeah.
A
So I think it was good. We should have hammered that one more time. I think we should have known about it. Would that have changed?
C
How could you?
E
Well, no, I mean, like, is this like Is this something the networks do every year? They're like, let's hand it off to whoever gets the next Super Bowl.
A
I think it's the first time. Okay.
E
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
D
Yeah. Probably because it's stupid.
A
No, it's not. It's a good way to announce that ESPN's got this super Bowl.
D
No doubt.
C
To your point, though, I can't remember. It might have been Friday after the show. We were in the elevator going to go to the lobby to get ready to, like, go to the airport, and someone was like, you know, someone who works at espn. I can't remember who it was. They're like, you know, you guys. You guys leaving? We were like, yeah, you know, we're done for the week. It's great. Like, what are you doing? He's like, oh, I gotta stick around through the game on Sunday and then fly to LA afterwards. For the, like, people you could tell it was.
D
I mean, he.
C
Whoever, they're ready to get the hell out of there. And his. His work week was pretty much just starting. So, I mean, it's one of those things where, yeah, it would have been nice to be there to maybe either give the handoff or receive the handoff.
A
I think. I think we're enough people watching after the game, you know, like, that's the. The thought of it. I like the thought of doing it here today. You know, like the insurance that makes. And also, Tirico goes immediately to Olympic coverage. So maybe the only coverage of Ball, I guess, was Boomer on the field with Desk Electric and then sending it over to Sofi after. I don't know, you know, hey, it's on ESPN this year.
C
That's right.
D
That's the thing.
A
Next year, super bowl is on espn. It's a huge deal down there in Los Angeles.
D
Massive deal. I don't think we knew the super bowl was on NBC until week eight. Maybe. I feel like it was something at least. I forgot constantly. Now because of this handoff gimmick, I will know that the Super Bowl.
A
So it worked. Yep. What's that?
E
I know it was on NBC until we had Tirico on last week or two weeks ago.
A
I will say I also potentially got a heads up and immediately was like, oh, we should probably talk to Mike if he's calling a Super Bowl. And then the next day he was like, on. So pretty recent. Yeah, pretty recent for me as well, because it is a big deal. Super Bowl. Who knows what these numbers are going to be? And this had the least Amount of stars outside of the football world, least amount of buzz. I think outside the football world. The only real conversation out there side of football was bad Bunny.
C
Yeah.
A
This guy's speaking not our language. What that telling me me I watch football all year. Telling me I need to download duo lingo.
B
Okay.
A
To enjoy. That was the conversation.
C
Yeah.
A
Outside of the super bowl, it wasn't like a 23 year old quarterback. Drake May back with the New England Patriots and Mike from back at the team that he won a Super bowl with, caught some touchdowns, made a lot of tackles with recharging an entire fan base. Mike McDonald, very unique character who also is a defensive head coach who seemingly a mastermind. Sam Darnold revenge. Instead he heard people from New York be like, Sam Darnold, guy's not good at football. It's like, no, he is good at football. It's like, no, I grew up in Jersey.
C
Yeah, he sucks.
A
No, guy stinks in football. I don't follow football much, but I know Sam Darnold acid football. That is what I know. It's like, no, he's in a Super bowl, he might win. Okay, okay. It's like people outside of ball were struggling to find things to latch on to. Now, I assume because it is a Super bowl, all those people that were struggling latch on still turned on a game.
C
Yes.
A
So I assume the number will still be gigantic. And now what was the stay rate? What was the stay rate?
C
Probably not great.
A
Yeah, I assume there was a lot of ah, okay.
G
And they were saying the game was over. Like in the end of the second quarter if you went up 12, nothing. That doesn't help, I guess.
A
I'll tell you, they hit another field goal and make this thing less than a two score game. It's over 70% of the games this year were comebacks or something like that. I think that's what Roger Goodell said at his press conference, you know, because he was asked about some sort of something and I think it was like 70% of the games had comebacks this year, blah, blah, blah. We had this amount of one score games. Everything like that second quarter with the way this is looking, I'll tell you, they score another safety, they get two more points here, they turn this thing to 11. Zip. Yeah, that's about all she. I mean this thing's about. Which is how it felt with the Seattle Seahawks defense, which I think was a compliment to the Seahawks defense. And it ended up being pretty real. Although Drake 1 for 235 in the.
D
4Th and the 12 nothing. Like I mentioned earlier at the beginning 12, nothing felt worse than 283 against the Falcons. But I think the reason I in particular, I'm the only one in here really that doesn't like Collinsworth. The reason is we have guys like Greg Olson and J.J. watt who are just number two boost that should be in primetime. That is my big gripe. And then when you know you get a stinker like that on there and you get a lot of I got nothing, it's like, okay, well that's just. That's not what you're there for.
A
I think Cece knows that Conor has been, I assume, Patriots fans as a whole.
D
I don't think it's in. Sure. I did see some people who are Patriots fans, like Chris Collinsworth hates the Patriots. I don't think that's the truth. Like you mentioned all the time with Joe Buck, if you call a bunch of big moments, especially with the Patriots, that being his sixth Super Bowl. I don't know how many times he called the Patriots Super Bowl. I'm assuming what that was. Four, three, four. I don't know.
A
Calling games hard to make people like it because what some people like, obviously other people don't involve touching so many different people. It's an interesting dynamic there. Kid Rock really brought it. He did see Bob Richie too.
D
Kid and Bob.
A
Yeah. Did you see Bob?
G
Yeah.
A
Was that. That was.
H
I didn't see a whole lot.
A
What's that? I didn't see a whole lot.
G
What did he do? Was it. Was it like a Chris Gaines situation? Garth Brooks, like. What do you mean?
A
Well, there was a string. Cool duo. I had a. I don't know. So Bad Bunny, San Benito wraps up and then all of a sudden it's like, all right, what's going on?
E
It's actually perfect timing.
A
It was exact timing for ball with the ball. It went straight to ball with the ball.
E
I don't know if he was singing.
A
You go from one to who the mic. San Benito was singing.
E
No, no, no.
A
That's what I heard. Hey, he was definitely singing.
C
He was.
A
Yeah.
G
They always sing live.
E
I'm not sure I would.
A
I'm betting, I think Bad Bunny saying.
E
Oh yeah, for sure.
A
And I think the guy that was on the. I think he played.
C
That was awesome.
A
So that's the first time, I think. Cuz normally super bowl nobody plays, right. Feels like Bad Bunny said, I would like to sing. And they also. It felt like they might be wrong.
C
Ricky Martin was definitely singing because super.
A
Bowl halftime shows normally all lip sync not allowed to do anything. Hey, this is how much we're paying, you know, Cuz it's time.
G
To the exact second like everything is time.
D
Perfect.
A
Boom. Feels like Bad Bunny was like, nah, we're.
D
And he went through the table.
A
We're doing this. Yeah. And fell off the thing.
D
Yeah.
B
Oh, yeah. Into the living room.
D
Yeah.
C
That was.
A
Yeah. There's a lot of. I mean, showman. This. This guy. I don't know what he. I wish I knew what he was saying, but it was a incredible show. And then as soon as he wraps up, they get a commercial. All of a sudden, ball with the bar. The bang. The dang diggy. He said the bogey set up. Jump the bogey. And then full on. I don't know what he must. He. He had a wrist. He had a wrist.
G
Yeah. Was he hurt or was that profession.
A
Didn'T slow him down. We had four mic flips.
E
Yeah.
A
About 30 seconds. Unbelievable. And every time he looked at it was like. Yeah. God damn.
C
Still got it then.
A
He still got it. Yeah. So I didn't see the whole thing, but I would say this Bad Bunny seemingly went out there and did what he wanted to do, you know.
D
Yeah.
A
This is all my. Yeah, And I appreciate that.
D
And the Easter eggs in there were really cool. Like I guess no one. He took that shot from the lady at the bar. I guess that lady who is standing behind the bar owns a very famous restaurant in New York for like the last 40 years and she's from Puerto Rico. The kid that he gave the Grammy to, I guess was in a situation where he detained.
A
How about the. No, I don't think so. The people out front of the shed. There was an entire shed thing. I did see that.
D
Okay.
A
Yeah.
D
The baseball player. Acuna.
A
That guy's fountain blue guy, obviously Cardi B. Yeah.
C
Pedro Pascal.
A
Pedro Pascal, yeah.
D
Jessica Alba.
E
Yes.
A
Fascinating. You know, all the different. Cuz why not? What you say?
B
Nothing.
E
What did you just say?
A
A lot of what?
B
No, a lot of good dancing.
A
There was a lot.
C
There was a lot of good dancing.
A
A lot of dancing. Feel. It feels like there was a lot of dancing. I got Kid Rock. Kid Rock immediately after this debuted a remix to a Cody Johnson song. I believe it's going to be available soon. Telling people they can accept. Jesus Christ, is there anything can change.
D
Boom.
A
I feel like both parties got accomplished what they wanted to get accomplished.
E
Positive night.
D
And both parties go.
G
Everybody's happy.
D
Slaughtered for it.
A
Yeah, it did feel like that. It did feel like that.
E
Politics, football.
A
And I say man, it'd be really cool to understand Spanish right now, you know, you piece of. You watched it, moved to Mexico, then damn it. Then the other side of it. You don't know Spanish, you stupid piece of. Well, you know, I'm in Mexico. Watch. Stop being a racist, you prick. Learn Spanish. It's like, muchos gracious me, amigo. I'm trying, okay? I. Hey, yeah, okay. My brain ain't set up for it. Trying. Learn Spanish.
D
Know who also crushed it?
A
What? Dude, I'm trying. And then the other side, hating that I'm even watching it. It's like, what is your problem? What are we doing here? Can we not. Hell of a show.
C
It was spectacle, and I feel like that's human tree. That's what. That's what the super bowl halftime should be like. I mean, they made a big deal when the weekend did it a couple years ago. And like the gimmicks he. He did, it was like, this kind of sucks. Like, I get it, but like, it isn't like, say what you want. I. I agree. I didn't understand a single word he said. But like, that was a spectacle that was. Was in line with what the super bowl is.
A
And how about the show not ending weirdly? Normally show ends weirdly and there's lights out and then they go. That was the halftime show.
C
Yeah.
A
This one was them walking off with a banger playing. That was a cool way to end. That was a cool way. I thought it was really.
E
Security guard got a real face in the camera at the end here.
G
Yeah.
A
You know what? Fuck it. I want a French speaking next year. Let's go. Let's just learn them all.
D
Okay.
A
That's not a bad language. I tried high school.
C
Yeah.
A
Yeah. Oh, shit. We're coming. We're leaving. How many million? All of them. Okay, let me get out of the way. Shoulder pads on. Maybe he's going to hit somebody. Somebody. Somebody sent this to Jamar Chase.
G
Yeah, you're right.
A
Because shoulder pads and full pads might be in fashion wise.
C
Exactly.
A
And we wanted him to be ahead of the game.
C
Yeah.
A
Imagine clacking down the Runway.
C
That'd be awesome.
A
Clackety clack.
B
The best.
A
Click clack, click, clack. Maybe under armour.
C
Yeah. AJ could voice it over. Maybe.
A
Oh, my God.
E
Now we're talking.
A
Is under armor doing.
G
Let me know.
E
Oh, yeah.
A
Are they big time? I don't know.
D
I've seen a lot of.
B
Oh, JJ's just. Jefferson's doing her guy, right? Is he Justin Jefferson.
A
They got rid of what Steph Right. Yeah.
B
Yeah.
D
Steph doing his own ways.
A
Is the Rock still doing his stuff with him?
E
I believe so.
G
But I still has them all in Dick Sporting Goods. Yeah, Whole stuff section. Bad Bunny. Did have you guys talked about him? His ball security is the first thing I noticed.
D
I said, all right.
G
Attention to detail. He talked to somebody like he was. It was high and tight.
A
How about the spike?
G
Yeah, Spike was. Was much better too. I was hoping it wasn't like a Gosling situation like the video I saw.
A
Let you guys know that Gosling situation. Not good.
E
He's a corner.
G
Not good at all.
A
I understand he's on the Titans.
D
Quick Rich G. Cannon.
C
He's Canadian.
G
He's.
C
That's kind of what I.
A
You know, he. He grabbed by middle of football first.
C
He.
A
He did grab by middle the laces. It's like okay.
C
But you see how far he threw it.
D
Hummed it.
A
Yeah. And then he was in boots to drag his foot.
G
Kind of weird.
D
Oh, check this out.
C
Watch how far this some goes.
D
Oh, wow.
C
Still going.
D
That's only the second time I've seen that. That is bad.
A
No, it's good. Cuz he actually leads.
G
I'm watching again.
A
I don't think it was good. It's going to run again here. Yeah, automatically.
G
I love Gosling too.
B
This is tough to be awesome.
A
Hail Mary, baby. Get.
E
Five time conference player of the week db.
A
Star at DB for you. He's not supposed to be quarterback. They need to put him outside.
C
And they benched his ass too. If you remember.
E
He was getting beat like he stole something.
D
Oh my God.
A
Yeah.
D
And then.
G
And then went out deep. But what do you think that I just.
B
I mean every time I see it, I see you just a different thing though.
G
Yep. Watch again.
A
He was getting beat like his double something. Bruce actually used that in a Texas morning with Hembo. Hembo gave Wil. Will Campbell's entire stats to us that he sent over into the group. And it was like this amount of pressures, this amount of blah, blah, blah. He gave up two interceptions. He also did this with a fumble. And Bruce goes. Yeah, he was getting beat like he stole somebody. He didn't throw two picks. And Hembo follows up with like. Well, actually the person that causes the pressure that leads to the interception. We account for also in our stats or whatever. Will Campbell. The problem basically is what he said this morning. Is that not right, Bruce?
D
Yeah.
A
And also like we were watching on NFL Pro the actual interception sack where it was Witherspoon coming off the other edge. So while Will Campbell like sort of does give up a pressure. It wasn't his pressure that, you know, caused that exact interception. Kind of, you know, one run the play.
D
No, he doesn't. I mean, Drake May's backing up to the left, so like, sure, if you're, if, if you're going to where the guy is going to be like this one.
B
That's the problem right now. That's the problem. Not display to love what we just talked about.
D
It's ridiculous.
B
AQ just went through the whole protection. If it's on the center or the quarterback, in my shit, the coach as well. You got to have a young quarterback ready to have.
D
So that's Will Campbell.
B
So you move. This is crazy.
D
He has to move.
G
This guy didn't hit him.
A
Listen, the stats people say he's got a block. Get him out of there.
E
He had nowhere to go.
A
You're a left tackle. That's what the stats people are saying. Yeah, it was awesome. You should have seen Bruce. The follow up text from Bruce to Hembo going, he was getting beat like he stole his own. He didn't throw two picks. Like, what are we, what are we doing here? You got to get to the bottom of pressures and we got to figure.
C
Out epa, like a better way to.
G
You know, almost contextualize it.
A
Yeah. Dvoa.
B
I'm out on all of them.
A
All of them.
D
Every ac, Wins and losses.
B
Every acronym. Dvoa. Epa.
G
You know what they mean? What do they all mean?
A
Epa. That's Environmental Protection Agency.
D
Bingo.
G
Yeah, that's true.
A
That's how your offensive line does every single year here. Dvoa. That's where you get your license.
C
Yes. Yeah.
A
Right.
G
Yeah.
A
Yeah. Always a long, not efficient at all. So you don't want to be good at that one, I don't think. No, actually, actually, the one down here, not bad. I went.
E
I went there last week. It was very efficient.
A
Yeah. Very good. Actually. I would like say congratulations.
E
Number one branch in the state. I was just there as well.
C
In and out.
A
I legit. Do not doubt it. No, they. They got a fleet now.
E
They had a lot of questions they shouldn't have been asking him, but, you know.
D
Yeah, I had to take that driver's test like five times to get my Indiana license.
A
It's tough.
D
Test suck.
G
Got to get like a written test.
D
Like the one on the screen.
A
Like multiple choice, like.
D
Yeah, you got to.
G
Yeah. What are they asking you? Just to get your another license.
A
How many feet before a red light? Are you starting to hit your br.
D
Yeah. What's this sign mean that I've never seen.
E
I haven't registered my car in three years, and they had questions about how.
A
Many feet are you two stop behind a stop sign? Like 3ft, 6ft, 1 foot, 10ft? It's like, what? Interesting. I don't know. Let me pull up that thing I've been doing for 20 years.
C
How about whatever it takes not to.
A
Get into an accident? Yeah, yeah, st. I guess. Where's that off? I don't know.
E
How many drinks?
A
No, I'm kidding. Well, how many beers have I had? Can't do that now. What? I've had three, four beers and got behind the wheel.
D
I'm just kidding.
A
That's one of my favorite, favorite parts, Especially with Uber.
E
And wh.
A
Wh. Mo is crazy. Whmo is crazy. Can't be.
E
I don't think they have them here.
B
Nope, not yet.
D
They can't have them here. If one of these hicks runs into one of those things that that car's.
A
Getting, one of these potholes would take out all of them, dude. Yeah, you're right. I didn't even think about them. Bang in the snow. And then next one bang and then boom.
B
Bang.
A
That's actually at the end of that one show where they all the Tesla stuff.
B
Oh, yeah.
A
Start crashing into each other.
D
Ah, the movie. It came out. Yes.
A
It was on Apple, man.
B
Was it?
D
Don't look up Netflix.
I
Produced by the Obamas. I can't remember what the name of.
A
It was, though, because the. The Obamas. President Obama and Michelle Obama. Because they produced it. We all thought to ourselves, oh, they know. So. Yeah, what do they know? And then the Teslas were all just kind of rolling by him. So you remember this, aj? Do you remember this thing?
G
Yeah, I didn't see the movie. I remember hearing all the hubbub.
E
Leave the world behind.
A
Leave the world behind. Yeah, that one freaked me out a little.
G
Was it good?
A
Yeah, I mean, it. It got me.
D
It wasn't bad.
A
I watched it for a little bit, but it was kind of trippy. On what they can do you would assume somebody could do if they wanted to. Just like we learned with the cameras.
C
Exactly.
A
How about that age?
G
I mean, that's scary. Yeah. I mean, is it.
F
Yeah.
G
I don't know. Is it worth saving one or two dogs?
C
No.
G
To spot everybody in the eight dogs spy on the whole planet. Like, is that. Is it worth your privacy?
A
Eight dogs a day, aj? I don't know. Is it worth stopping the Joker to.
G
Save Gotham City, aj?
A
I don't know.
G
I'm sorry.
F
I don't know that.
G
Heath Ledger.
A
That was a crazy. Yes, that was a crazy. Rest in peace. That was a crazy ad. Yeah. Like that angle. Because the amount of people that had to approve that. And I would like, say change things. I'd like to say to the ad agencies, sees. Let's pick it up. Okay, you bums. Yeah, okay. You're a part of the fucking thing. Have a brain. Okay. You guys just cover your ass so much all year. You don't even know that people are expecting you to be good at your gigs. Whenever it comes to the super bowl of commercials. Let's go, you know, let's go ahead and do this thing. Let's make sure we are adding entertainment value and not just wasting a check from a company that doesn't know that we don't know what the fuck we're doing.
C
And we needed them last night.
A
We did. Because the game was ass. Yeah. And what do we get? Oh, you got a spine on our dogs.
C
Exactly.
B
That's crazy.
D
There wasn't one person at that table. Like, you think people are going to have a fucking problem with this or.
A
No, no, we're saving dogs. Shut the fuck up. Put a gold retriever up. They love golden retriever. I'm surprised. Aren't we all?
D
Yeah.
A
Oh, wow.
G
And what wasn't.
D
Wasn't in one of those.
A
Yeah, Peter wasn't.
C
Oh, wow.
A
That would be the. Oh, yeah, that would be the dog.
D
If I saw Peter on my TV last night, it was getting broken.
A
What if it was a part of the ring? We're watching you.
D
I mean, if it was every step. Yeah. With Ben.
G
The original.
A
Yeah, exactly. Miss you. Yes, the original. Of course.
F
Yes.
A
So creepy, though. It kind of. Yeah.
G
Where's that guy at? Is he up Jail?
B
Wait, what? Yeah. Which version of the song was that?
A
Sting.
B
Oh, yeah.
G
Sting.
A
Come on, dude.
G
He has intercourse for like 12 hours at the time he says, what's that? You know that about Sting. That's his thing.
C
He's.
G
He can, you know, stay thing. He can. He can, you know, go at it for 8, 9, 10, 12 hours.
E
Tantric.
A
You know that about Sting. You said to me.
D
You do.
G
It's a thing. It's just.
D
It's a.
G
It's been Sting for a long time.
A
I don't know. I did not know that. I. I did not. Believe it or not. I genuinely did not know that. That's a day. Everyone knows that, you know, Sting talks Seven hour tantic sex with Trudy Styler. All right.
B
One person, one woman.
G
It's his wife.
D
Yeah, that Sting.
A
I think he's talking in the interview. This person or tantric sect is a spiritual act. Oh, he's finding DMT in there.
B
Oh, six.
A
Six sours in there. He's on his own journey.
D
Watch that twice.
B
Good luck.
G
Was there any good commercials? Did you like any of them?
B
B.A.
G
Budweiser had a good one. I think it was all right.
A
BA was good.
D
Budweiser, yeah.
A
BA was good.
D
Thought the Duncan was the throwback with.
G
You know, the throwback with all the characters from Friends, maybe.
A
I don't know what that Duncan good.
D
That Goodwill Duncan.
G
Duncan was good.
C
The Bud Light one was, you know, Shane picking them. Yeah, good. Good.
A
Yeah, good. Cool. Whenever you see up there, you're like, oh, we know those people. Oh, they clearly wrote this. Too good for them. Cheese.
C
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
A
Inspo.
C
Yeah, that was a good idea.
A
Yeah, Great idea. Good play. Ben Affleck looking as young as you look was crazy.
D
Yeah. That all of them?
A
Yeah.
B
The.
D
The guy from Cheers as well.
A
Is that AI we think, or.
C
Yes.
B
Yeah.
A
So AI can make us easier. Young AI can't tell me what Bad Bunny's saying, though. Whenever he's singing his songs right in front of me and I'm trying to dance to this thing, that's where they draw the line.
D
Interesting enough, I do believe there is a thing now with the AirPods, right, where it can translate. It can actively translate for you.
A
Oh, my God. I should have plugged in, right?
D
I think there is, but whose voice.
G
Is doing it is just some random guy not singing the music. The song, though.
D
Yeah, probably.
B
I wouldn't want it.
A
You wouldn't want something?
B
I won one.
A
What about. Did you watch. What was that Korean game show?
D
Squid Game.
A
Squid Game. Did you have that dubbed? What did you do? Korean school.
I
Oh, what?
A
Dude, I had it dubbed into English. A lot of people were mad at me because it got rid of the incredible acting of the people that were speaking.
B
The Lang game shows. I can do the dub if it's like a real series or like a good movie. I would rather hear their voices and read the translation.
D
Yeah.
B
So, like, what was the thing on hbo?
A
Max. Max.
B
Japanese.
A
Japanese.
E
You're thinking Chern.
D
That was good. No, you're thinking of Shogun. Shogun.
G
Boom.
B
Like that show. I want to hear their voices.
A
Did you. Chernobyl. Did you watch that?
B
No.
D
Oh, that's so good.
A
It was so dark, though.
D
Yeah, very dark. Yeah. You have to watch it at night.
A
So I. I need facial Expressions, you know, I need to be able to. So I'm captioning everything, but Me too. I have captions on everything.
B
I just hate, like, seeing the mouth and, like, it being off. So, like, what was the big heist? One that was on for a while.
D
I think it was called Heist. Yeah.
B
Boom. Like Spanish. It was tough for me to really get into it.
A
See, I dub it right into English and I just. I suspend reality. High school. Yep. They also. Yep. Not the best, I guess, voiceover actors. But hey, we're doing it. I just need to know what's going on. You know, if I'm not paying attention, I'd like to hear what's going on. But captions. I think Internet is turned me into that. I think Internet has turned me into captions for everything type stuff. And I'm not the biggest reader, but I found myself.
E
I have captions on everything. Yeah.
D
It's so hard not to just read.
A
The captions the whole time. That's my not even paying attention.
D
I'm not watching it.
G
Makes you a better reader. You need it.
A
A lot of people get on their phones, I assume during last night's game. Lot. A lot of.
D
There's so many. Three and ounce.
A
Oh, he's done. That was a really good show. Let me see what they got going on. On ball. With the ball. This is what I'm talking about. Big. Not. They have like 4, 5, 6 million concurrence. Yeah. That's a huge.
C
Really.
A
That's a huge, huge number on YouTube. Turning T. Don't want to get the name.
D
TP. USA.
A
Turning Point. USA. Okay. God, please, come on. I'm just trying. I'm trying.
C
Take it ease. Take it easy.

G
A lot going on out there.
A
Sports.
E
A lot going on.
A
Sports.
D
Just trying to enjoy it, baby.
A
All right, let's do that. Let's get the hell out of here. We. A.J. great year this year, A.J.
G
Great year, fellas. It was awesome. That was. Hey, super bowl week was amazing. Honestly, I. I didn't know what to expect going into San Fran. San Fran was awesome. Awesome hanging out with everybody. Yeah, I. I thoroughly enjoyed myself.
A
Shout out to chef Michael, Mina, Adrian, and Vanessa at International Smith Smoke.
D
It was a good time.
A
They didn't even serve breakfast. They just made us a brunch every single day and opened their restaurant for us. Like, thank you so much. That was cool. I guess that's a Michelin. He's a. He's a Michelin man, I guess.
C
I don't doubt it.
A
I guess that's. Yeah, it was unbelievable.
G
I had 30 pounds of eggs over the week. I probably had no exact 85 scrambled eggs, maybe.
E
Ty said San Frano is the most Michelin star restaurants of any city in the country.
C
In the U.S. i believe.
I
Yeah.
A
We only. I only saw one. Well, that's a couple times.
C
That's more than most people are getting. I. I would imagine getting into those restaurants. Super bowl week is next to impossible.
A
Yeah. So shout out to Adrian, shout out to Chef Michael Mina, Shout out to Vanessa there for taking care of us. But you're right, San Francisco for us was great. You know, it was cool to see everybody walked everywhere.
G
We walked everywhere. Day, night, whenever.
D
Yeah, the weather.
A
Aj, please. Okay. I opened up talking about. I didn't open up talking about it, but we did talk about at some point where people were, you know, were telling us that we are living some high society life in San Francisco and getting pampered, you know, potentially at some different points. You know, that was happening outside the city or maybe be inside a radio road to get in and out if I have something to do or whatever. But we're in those streets. We were in those streets morning, very early morning, night, we were in those. In the afternoon, we were walking. Lot of walking. Aj Part of our journey.
G
It was great. It was great.
D
Yeah.
G
We all had our own journey. We walked everywhere we went. Like you didn't matter what time we. We definitely saw some. A couple interesting characters, but yeah, for the most part, it was all good.
A
Yeah, it was. It was a city, you know, like that. A clean, cleaner city than that I've been in. I think it has a much cleaner city than that I have been in.
G
It was.
A
There were certainly some parts that are city.
G
Like there were some turds. There were some wet turds we had to dodge. But, you know, that's a city dirty.
D
Stepped in human poop. Like right off the bat.
A
Are we blaming dirty awareness of the poop or is he so focused on other things?
D
A little bit of both. But it was more so how liquidy the poop was. That was shocking.
A
Yeah. Probably some sort of. Yeah.
B
Guy who put that down there.
A
He.
D
Was a bad guy.
B
Oh, boy.
C
Bad guy.
A
And ears.
B
Hey, you're gonna have those.
A
You're gonna have those Couple, few and far between.
C
Yeah.
A
I would say we did not expect a guy, sleeping bag, in the middle intersection, middle of the afternoon, screaming his ass off, saying, Terrible things.
D
Yeah.
A
Bad guy AJ gives a speech to debut. Half block away from this guy AJ. Hawk Eye, literally about 10 o' clock up there. I don't know if you see it at 10pm on the clock. Got a real piece of shit. Isn't that what you said, basically, aj?
G
Well, when I saw a gentleman, Lewis, just wearing a sleeping bag on his lower half, roaming around yelling at people from about. Yeah, 80 yards out, I told Debo my. Hey. My dad told me, don't ever mess with somebody that has nothing to lose. And we figured that out as we got closer. Yes. That guy didn't have much to lose, it seems like.
A
And he was certainly saying a lot of. I appreciate your professionalism.
B
I. You know. Okay. You know, it is. It is what it is part of it.
A
That guy was on a journey.
E
He had a full Pantera back tattoo.
B
He looks like he's been on the journey for a while.
A
Yeah, he's actually lost out there. Never coming back.
D
Tease.
B
And peace.
A
And peace.
E
He's gone.
A
Teasing peace. But there wasn't as many as that. That I think.
D
No, the expectation.
A
It was nice, man. It was. Hey, it was nice.
B
It was so nice that someone. Someone that was kind of there, thought they might have been all paid actors, you know what?
D
Who said that?
G
Everybody in the city.
B
What the hell is going on?
D
It could be.
A
I was told three seconds. Hey, all right. Hey.
B
Yeah, all right.
A
Me and D. Me and D. But were told by a person that we encountered in San Francisco that was walking with us for a portion of our journey. Once again, we're walking a lot of places, met up with a lot of people while we're walking. Where are you headed? We're headed this way. I go, see. He's nice, don't you think? First time see you in person. It's all bullshit. I saw your little tweet thing. I'm like, what was that? Saw you talk about how nice this is. I'm like, it's what's not nice about this? Like, literally, we're like, what's not nice about this? And the answer was, you think this is. Yeah, I think so. Like, we are. This is real. They street sweep this thing. It's the nicest this city has looked. It's, like, cool.
D
So.
A
I want to let them know they did it great. And I was like, but it's very active, you know? So if it was just like, for today, would all these people seemingly have these routines of jogging and walking and running and dog and everything? Feels like these people are pretty Comfortable with, like, what they're doing or whatever. He goes, all actors. I'm like, what? What? This whole city is actors. You go, yeah, just around you. You. And you fell for it immediately. You went out there. Hey, this is active. This is nice. They're setting you up, Mark. Like that. That's what we were told. We lost it. I. I mean, I laughed maybe. Maybe three minutes straight whenever I. I lost it. And it's like, well, if that's the case, they did a great job.
D
They did, did. Yeah.
B
They got us on the job.
A
Yeah, they got us.

Just know that we'll never stop with Hammer. Done. Okay. Great year out of you, bub.
E
Thank you.
A
How about you? Ended with three and one record on tonight. Lions plays of the day.
E
Not bad.
A
That's a pretty good way to head in there.
E
Oh, yeah. It would have been 40 if Seahawks didn't, you know, just dominating. They didn't need to throw the ball at the end at all.
A
Why? Because you picked Sam.
E
Yeah. To go over two.
A
Hunch.
E
220 or something like that.
A
Oh, damn.
D
I mean, JSN going down, too.
A
What happened with him?
D
Yeah, concussion and an ankle and tape.
E
On his foot or some.
A
Yeah, the back of his ankle was being taped, and then he went in there and then he said, concussion. People were looking at him. It's like, oh, I don't like to hear that at all. But turns out, Chelsea Hawks the win. Super Bowl Y. Great work, Tone. Great college football season as well. Out of you. Appreciate that. You crushed it. Talk stable boys. What can I say? Both your teams were in it. Biggest trade.
C
Yeah.
A
Of the entire season. Yeah. You represented it to a lot of people, let alone the pick at the draft. And then Yukon, man, a resurgence of a team having to take it in the shins by a lot of people is the mass hole on a microphone. You guys at talks table should be incredibly proud of this season.
D
Thank you too.
A
Appreciate. Good work, boys in the back. Hey, I think you guys got better this year. I. I think it was, like, evident. Don't you think, Foxy? Yeah, I agree. Definitely got better. A lot of room for improvement, though. I like that. A lot of room. I like that. We'll figure that all out as we go. Obviously. I think you guys should be incredibly proud of the program that you guys put out every single day. Good work back there behind the glass. Good season, boys. Graphic design boys. Good work, boys. Good work, boys. Artists.
C
Yeah.

How about Mitt picking up a new job last week?
D
Hell yeah.
E
He's really good at it.
A
Oh, he was pickleball. She's good.
D
Yeah.
A
So good. Like, best. She's saying best ever and she brought like eight paddles for everybody. I think we should probably get her up there. So should I take the paddle? Okay, we'll do it. What? She's kind of. They're kind of on my. She said right now. Good job, man. Zito. Great work, Zito. Season, Zito. Great season, Zo. Doing every one, something, everything. And to the fans, thank you for rocking with us. Hell of a season.

Great season by you.
G
And you too.
A
Yeah.
B
All of.
A
Enough of that.
B
All cast.
D
Yeah, a bunch of all casts. Game day to the all cast.
A
Yeah. Those are pretty crazy times. Yeah.
G
The game day down the step, walking through the stands with like a, you know, five seconds to go to air. To the all cast. That's the best.
A
Wow.
G
Nobody else is doing that.
A
Those are good times there. Those are good. I saw Tirico last night go from game to Olympic show on field. I thought that was sick. I. I really appreciate that. I, you know, you see. Seen a couple quick turnovers. The running by from hosting to Rutledge. Yeah, those moments are cool because you in the brain while you're doing it, it's like, okay, nothing matters that I just did at all. Like, literally nothing matters at all. So there's not even a moment of like, hey, that was fun show. Yeah, that was a fun show. Or, hey, when you said this, that was really cool or whatever. Then it's just like, immediately like, nope, does not matter. Do we got to move forward. Those are fun times. Lucky and thankful to get prep for him too, though.
B
Yeah.
D
That. The music as well.
A
Music sick.
D
That's.
A
That's crazy that that's happened.

You're.
C
I guess Ari, you know, he let the Cat out of the bag.

Kill your ass. He did as well.

He did.
A
Thank you. Thank you, Ty. Hey, thank you, Ty.
E
And you're appreciate it. Running the entire business.
A
Yeah, it's pretty fun, man. It's a. And you gave away a lot of money. Money this year. Well, we don't need to keep doing that. Yeah, agreed. Especially if you go all the way back to big night out included. It was a lot of money.
B
Maybe Jocelyn next year.
A
What's that?
D
Yeah. To throw.
B
Yeah, yeah.
D
Fate of the universe.
A
I like that. I like the way we're talking here.
D
I mean, gosh, God will get it done. Yeah.
A
Put him outside the arena, have him throw it all the way. Maybe we could do it at Mercedes Benz stadium. Open up the top.
G
Oh, there we go. He's got to redeem. Has to.
A
No. It was crazy though. Australia was when August 15th. Right into Texas. Ohio State college game day.
D
Yeah.
A
It's been a hell of a run.
B
Oh, yeah.
A
It's been a lot of fun. And we're incredibly lucky that we get to do it. Enjoy the week off. Weeks off. We'll be back at the combine. Yeah. For as long as you'll have us. We'll do this for the good of ball, for the good of sports. It's the greatest thing on earth. It's the greatest thing that's ever been created. It's been going on since the beginning of time. There's been this yearn for competition. There's been this yearn to watch others compete. And I think it's something that, you know, can break down a lot of barriers. I think it can break down a lot of hate, a lot of negativity. And I think sports will continue to be the greatest thing of all time because it makes motherfuckers feel alive. We'll be back in a couple weeks covering the greatest thing on earth. Be a friend. Tell a friend something nice. It might change their life. We're in this thing together. And remember, let's not just hate people for out of context. Context stuff. Okay. We're done with it. Yeah. Let's try to learn whatever language is going to be spoken next year. Super Bowl. Ra. Super Bowl. Halftime starting tomorrow. Okay, let's start. We would like a heads up on what that is so we can understand.
B
Might be Korean.
A
Mackenzie would be locked in. They got talent, by the way. Oh, yeah. Hey.
C
Kidding me.
A
Even if it's.
E
Even if it's English, let's get better at that.
A
I mean, let's get better at English. Yeah. Oh, sigh.
D
Yes. Is He.
A
He pops up out of the stage.
B
Oh, yeah.
A
He's in a stadium of like what looks like 700, 000 people. And he comes. It looks like the DMX Woodstock Festival. He comes flying out.
B
That at all.
A
They need that kind of actually. He's like. I think he's rather. I think he's older.
C
Yeah.
D
Yeah.
A
And they're sending his ass into space. And then he's coming back down. Boom. Like gray mysterio. I'm like, his knees, incredible. And then he gets right into the.

We promise and we utilize every situation. We have to continue to try to do that. Be a friend. Tell a friend something nice. It might change your life. We're in this thing together. Team on me.
