The Patriots sent me a box of stuff when I retired, and I got a mix of a bunch of different things. So for a lot of guys, James Devlin, I'm sending you a box of things
Starting point is 00:09:46 and you're going to be, there's going to be so many great memories in there that I've had for two years now. But one of the things that I stole and I'm not sending back is one of Matthew Slater's inhalers. It's right there on the wall. That inhaler, I saw him every day before practice
Starting point is 00:10:01 and I would make fun of him. For a while, he had that like, there's like an extension piece. The spacer. The spacer. Sometimes he'd be pulling the spacer. The chaser. Otherwise, the medicine just hits you right in the back of the throat.
Starting point is 00:10:13 Pause. Pause. Yeah. And you're not getting it into the lungs. No, did he? No, did he? As an albuterolism, I know. We got to bronze that thing.

Is Slater the greatest of all time rec spec inhaler kid? Ooh. I don't know. We're going to have to. He's certainly got a strong case. I don't know any other ones, so I think he is.
Starting point is 00:10:35 But for everyone out there, can we get some suggestions in the comments on who's the best? All time rec spec inhaler guy. Rec spec inhaler guy. Rec spec inhaler guy. That inhaler guy that's what we need to know so ernie's your favorite episode you think i love terry was fun terry was great terry bradshaw by the way just had a fox retreat with him terry don't even know how to play dice he was on them dice the craps table for about 50 minutes hitting hard eights hard fours I mean he must have hit four or five hards it was insane it was so fun only Terry Bradshaw hard ways baby you're a hard ways guy

Super special. We flew him out. Terry was incredible. I got to say, back in our Canal Street days, getting Jared Zebranski and Adrian Peterson on the screen at the same time. I know they zoomed in. But just having those two Peterson on the screen at the same time. I know they zoomed in,
Starting point is 00:11:45 but just having those two guys in our presence at the same, like I was like, holy shit, we made this happen. Yeah. It was like the second one we ever did. I was like, this is crazy.
Starting point is 00:11:54 Well, Jack, Jack has a term that's like the elevator pitch games. Yep. And like, that was our elevator pitch game for a while. It really was. We had to start conceptualizing the show,
Starting point is 00:12:01 the like Statue of Liberty game and trying to get, we've since moved on from it now a little bit just because scheduling is a pain but try to get players on each side and like that was just a cornerstone thing and that was awesome to happen wow we can really do this thing i mean there's an elephant in the room i'm missing something here yeah i'm missing something is he not probably the most jack ginger you've ever seen in that damn zoom interview i actually was jack gingers he was he's yoked zembranski was yoked he's living the zembranski life right now i mean i saw the veins he came jacked and pumped baby wait now i'm trying to think of jack gingers does connor mcgregor count i don't think he's not really ginger you're kind of gingery your beard is

Hell yeah. I mean, he's just fun to hang out with, talk war stories. And Gronk remembers so much more than I do sometimes. He'll tell a story and I'm like, oh shit, that happened. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:58 So that could be, that's a high. My low is sometimes when, well, I got two lows lows sometimes when kyler comes he wears these blue shoes and he takes them off and it makes the whole fucking studio smell that is an absolute low i mean it smells each i have a fucking candle budget because we do this out of my house i'm spending five thousand dollars on candles to try to get this goddamn smell out of my house. I'm spending $5,000 on candles to try to get this goddamn smell out of my goddamn studio. Shut up, dip-teeth, baby. Okay.
Starting point is 00:20:27 Another low is my guys are wearing dress shoes. Yeah. I mean, this is a stravaganza today. You're wearing fucking sandals and your balls are out. Balls are not out. I wish they were.
Starting point is 00:20:40 I do have Rocky. There they are, baby. Apollo Creed underwear for you. Apollo Creed underwear. For all you audio listeners right now, we got to take a quick pause for a fit check. Kyler has dressed for the occasion. You know what they want. I bought a couple pair because you did it.
Starting point is 00:21:04 Jules and I got t-shirts, shorts, hoodies, hats. No respect for the game. Kyler is full tux right now for all you audio listeners. I gave them months in advance to wear something nice to respect the safety of scoring. You know what a real football guy or a real sports guy would wear? What? What he always wears. That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard.
Starting point is 00:21:24 What he always wears. That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard. What he always wears. That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard. What he always wears. Audience. Can I get to my ha moment? Yes. Mr. Krabby Patty. Yeah, go.
Starting point is 00:21:31 This just came up to my head. My ha moment was when it was one of our first shows. We got Sam Morell on there. The man. We love you, Sammy. We love Sam. And if you don't know Sam or you don't You don't know what you're getting into With Sam
Starting point is 00:21:46 Sam No filter No filter So we have this guest On by the name of Kurt Warner Hall of Fame Super Bowl winner
Starting point is 00:21:55 Hall of Fame Super Bowl winner Multiple MVP winner Multiple MVP winner And Man of faith Man of faith Guy is a man of faith.
Starting point is 00:22:05 We love Kurt. Kurt loves faith. And I think, you know, Sam's opening joke had to do with like jacking off or a Harvey Weinstein joke. I don't know which one it was. Oh, that'd be cracking up. I'm sitting there and I'm seeing Kurt's reaction. And I'm sitting there watching Sam deliver this thing. And I'm just like, oh my God. Yeah, Kurt's on that cover'm sitting there watching Sam deliver this thing and I'm just like oh my god
Starting point is 00:22:26 yeah Kurt's on that cover too or whatever it was but you know what like to make this a positive when Sam dropped a cunnilingus joke to Peyton Manning with neck surgery yes Peyton Manning went along he did what a good sport what a good sport
Starting point is 00:22:42 what a good sport so those have been small moments all right let's let's get into the What a good sport. What a good sport. So those have been small moments. Those have been small moments. All right, let's get into the whole point of this show. We've alluded to it a lot. But let's talk about scoring and the problem that we have. Now that all that fun stuff is out of the way,
Starting point is 00:23:02 I've got a lot of problems with both of you people. Now, I've got a lot of stuff. What do you mean, you people? You fucking too. What do you mean, you people? I've got a lot of problems with both of you people. Now, I've got a lot of stuff. What do you mean, you people? You fucking too. What do you mean, you people? I've got problems. What do you mean, you people? Coming from a very Aryan bearded man. We're both German.
Starting point is 00:23:15 Relax. Here's your opportunity. If you guys want to say anything that we could do better about the scoring system or what's not working about the score system. If you don't, I have have plenty but here's your platform you know as as a man that has been learning how to television been learning the interview process the communication and the feel of the person you are having and you are hosting onto your platform show, whatever it is. As a man that does that and my learning process, I like to allow the guest to feel special in his own special way. Agreed. We're hospitable.
Starting point is 00:23:58 You know, that's a, that's a hospitable thing to do, Kyler. Okay. okay now do i agree with them absolutely not but i'm it's who am i to say anything to them while they have the spotlight it's their time to shine for their game and this is in 90 of the time if not more it's like the high watermark for these guests life like this is the biggest game not this show no not being on this show not i mean this is the biggest game. Not this show. No, not being on this show. I mean, this is a big honor. But this game, they're breaking down with us. It's like, this is like, this is a 10 to them. So when they're giving a 10, I understand. This moment meant a ton to these people.
Starting point is 00:24:35 So I'm with you. I'm in the same boat. I don't have the balls to argue. And like for Burt Kreischer, I mean, he doesn't even remember the time. It is his favorite time of all time. Yes. He's had better times that he forgot than we ever had that we remember. Okay.
Starting point is 00:24:48 Well, then what is the goal of scoring? Is it to make our guests feel nice and fluffy and comfortable, even though you let them sit on this fucking couch? Or is it the sanctity of sport competition? Finding the greatest game of all time. Or are we just playing fucking tummy sticks and just letting a regular season game be a 10 all right dude like it's broken down like this okay we're gonna have our own scoring system it's kind of like at the combine and pro days
Starting point is 00:25:19 you hear the kid goes out and runs a four three3 at his pro day, but at the combine he ran a 4-5-6. There's professional scoring and then there's pro day scoring. Okay, so you guys got what you needed to get out? I don't even know what I just said. When people do go full Billy Bob, varsity blues, I can get a 10, a 10. I'm like, ah, man. I would like you to put a little thought into it
Starting point is 00:25:42 because sometimes it does feel reactionary. It's a little quick to like, eh, 10. That bugs me, sure. But I will say the one gripe where I'm like, ah, man, come on, when I really care about the scoring system is when a game that is of the level of a 28-3, when that is below some of these games
Starting point is 00:26:02 that are not on par with a 28-3. When I see it all laid out like that, I'm like, ah, that really grinds my gear. That gets my goat. But otherwise, those are my two big ones. It's something being too low and then a quick 10. We'll get into some of the receipts here, too. So off of you, Jack. Yep, go ahead. So I'll be the one that's the asshole.
Starting point is 00:26:24 I have no problem with being the asshole In my life, personally, and career I got a quick question Go for it How's that bow tie feeling right now? It's feeling lonely She's lonely It's actually your bow tie
Starting point is 00:26:35 I don't have a bow tie Good looking bow tie Thank you Anyway So I have no problem being the asshole, right? And saying Reggie Bush This regular season game against Fresno State, perhaps is not a 10. And then what you guys do is Jules goes, you're shut up.
Starting point is 00:26:51 It is great. And then Jack goes, yeah, I'm the hype man. I'm so much flavor, flavor. So like that's when I like I open the door for debate and you guys go, shut the fuck up. You sandbagging bastards. And the wardrobe today is apropos of this whole thing where I'm the only one that cares about this thing. And it makes me sad. What are you talking about?
Starting point is 00:27:12 There's no integrity. Do you even see what I'm wearing? Bro, that's a sick-ass Rocky t-shirt. We are embracing debate. You know what this is? Rocky literally defeated communism and ended the Cold War. Just like we're ending the discussion of some of these scores. Ask Ukraine how that's working out for him.
Starting point is 00:27:27 The stakes are too high. The guests are biased. We aren't embracing debate. We're supposed to be experts in finding the greatest game of all time. And we're just making sure our guests are comfortable. If I can change. You can change. We all can change.
Starting point is 00:27:41 But now let's be constructive here. Well, first, before it gets constructive, let's just take a look at our top list right now, right? Can I just... Who put tens on all these? These are the scores. These are the scores from the episode. Oh.
Starting point is 00:27:56 Right? Okay, right. Who put ten on all these, Jules? The guess that you let off the hook. I gave it a ten. Mark Cuban, I think, takes the heat for a bigger issue, right? So here's the 2011 NBA Finals Game 6, Mavics versus Heat. 9.5.
Starting point is 00:28:11 It's third overall. It's in front of the 18-1 Super Bowl and right behind two AFC Championship games, the 2018-1 and 2003-1. Both Patriot wins. The almost tie game. The almost tie game. A regular season game that's known for almost being in a tie is number six ahead of the 2004 ALCS. It was almost a tie.
Starting point is 00:28:30 Almost a tie. Almost. I mean, you know, ties worldwide are looked at like in soccer. The Bush push. I can't even argue. We all want to kiss our sister. The Bush push. A week six game.
Starting point is 00:28:45 Granted, there is, you know, undefeated season or whatever. It's right ahead of the 1999 Women's World Cup. Ahead of the 1999 Women's World Cup. Also ahead of the 28-3 game is 16th on our list. Behind the Ironman match, a scripted entertainment product. It's not scripted. It's still real to me, damn it. It's not scripted. Then there's not still real to me damn it not scripted
Starting point is 00:29:08 there's more the can't wait game the can't wait game a Giants divisional round game right is ahead of the Patriots Seahawks Super Bowl that's a marketing guy he knows we're going to talk about it in this thing so and then there's more here I will say that the TB12
Starting point is 00:29:23 final team Barstool is 32nd on this list. Starfish. Ahead of the UFC Khabib versus McGregor fight. Ahead of a BCS National Championship game. Ahead of a Game 7 of a Stanley Cup final that ended in riots, which is 45th on our list. The only thing that we've nailed is the Pro Bowl being last i will say that yeah i think that's higher than the barstool it might be too i don't disagree with that um okay brandon marshall now
Starting point is 00:29:52 enough negativity let's build this thing back up let's tear it down and build it there we go we've got some solutions and we've listened to our fans who sent in the hotline with some opinions and advice. Let's hear it. Yeah. Connected to Carlos. Listen, huge fan. My name's Alec. I love your show.
Starting point is 00:30:15 It's great. Jules, you're awesome. But this scoring system, what are we doing? This is not it. You can't let these guys come in and big pants you jewels like yeah i just don't know it's not right but i'm not in your position for that talk but you want a scoreologist you want someone who knows what they're talking about i'll be your guy i promise uh the only legitimate score i thought there was the 2004 ALCS game being number three. But anyway, love you guys.
Starting point is 00:30:47 Show. Talk to you. First off, Kyler, who the fuck did you hire to throw that one in? Not this one. Not this one. Big pants. Big pants. I never even heard that term.
Starting point is 00:30:58 I kind of like it. I kind of like it. I've never met an Alec in my life. We might need to start using big pants. Yeah. I agree, I guess. Jules, the way to improve the scoring would be for you and Frank or whoever else to score the game yourself.
Starting point is 00:31:18 Don't let the guests score it. If it's a Patriot game, obviously you have to absolve yourself because you're biased, but you guys got to score it and you got to use decimals as frequently as possible. Don't let the guest score it. This is Matt from Chicago. Chicago! Amen.
Starting point is 00:31:35 Actually, that's not a bad idea. What, are we going to eliminate the guest from scoring the game? I don't agree with that, but I think he... Frank? Frank is the most biased person you'll ever fucking meet this guy still talks about the 1998 super bowl that was him coaching names this is aaron andrews from new england uh yeah wait wait can you pause is this it said aaron andrews it said aaron andrews hello games of names this is aaron andrews from new england uh yeah you got a case of the
Starting point is 00:32:08 tens but maybe if you had um levels to uh cap on a certain number for each game whether it's like a divisional um a championship or just a regular season. I don't know if this makes any sense. You introduced math and I kind of clenched up. So maybe this will jog your creative mind. Either way, looking forward to your podcast. Thank you. I like the case of the tens. Case of the tens.
Starting point is 00:32:37 That's pretty good. Got a case of the tens. Hey, guys. Just wanted to call in. I'm not up to date on all the episodes. Turn it up. This may have already been figured out. But with the question of how to figure out the scoring system,
Starting point is 00:32:49 I think the easiest way of fixing this is just having the guests, Jules, and then any other co-hosts all rank each part of it. So like the game overall, the gameplay, everything like that. And then you just average that out. That way you can't have someone like Cuban come in and just give a 10 to everything. That 10 will still count a little bit, but not all the way. So what is this? Is this a Pro Bowl?
Starting point is 00:33:12 You got fans, you got coaches, and you got fucking internet. How do they even do the Pro Bowl? Is it fan voting? No, fan voting is too complicated. I just can't get over that guy being named Aaron Andrews. That rocks. Okay, we got one more. You is too complicated. I just can't get over that guy being named Aaron Andrews. That rocks. Okay, we got one more. You think about it.
Starting point is 00:33:27 It's probably a common name. But he's probably A-A-R-O-N. A-A? Yeah, the male version. Yeah, I mean, I've met like 100 Susie Colbers in my life. Did you kiss anyone? Sorry. Shout out, Joe.
Starting point is 00:33:40 Jesus Christ. Fellas, I think I got a pretty easy solution here for your scoring predicament. You just got to take Jewel's opinion. You got to take the producer's opinion. Whose name I cannot remember. Jackie Boy, Jackie. Take Jackie's opinion. Take the guest's opinion for each category.
Starting point is 00:34:02 So, you know, cubes put you guys in a body bag. I get it. Hard to say no to that guy. And Jules, you throw out a seven. Jackie boy throws out a 7.5. I'm not here to do math. That's for you guys. But you take the aggregate of those three, and that is the category score for that. Yeah, that's pretty much it. I think you do that for all four categories. You'll get a little bit more of a fair scoring system here because, yeah, Q's absolutely dominated you. But love the show. Glad you're back. Aggregate. Aggregate. When he's throwing around words like aggregate, man. Okay, so we have a solution. We've talked about it. We've discussed it. So here's what
Starting point is 00:34:43 we're going to be doing moving forward. We listened. We talked. Jules, you we have a solution. We've talked about it. We've discussed it. So here's what we're going to be doing moving forward. We listened. We talked. Jules, you will have your own score. Jack, you will have your own score. Kyler, myself, will have my own score. And the guests will have their own score. And we'll average it all?
Starting point is 00:34:57 And we'll average all four. We'll use the aggregate of all four? 100%. Is that reasonable? We're going to keep the categories as is. We're going to do stakes. We're going to do star power. We're going to do gameplay. And we're going to keep the categories as is. We're going to do stakes. We're going to do star power. We're going to do gameplay. And we're going to do the name of the game,
Starting point is 00:35:08 which is also the cultural relevance of the game. We'll let the guests score how they want on the show, but we'll guide them to an integrity score as best we can, encouraging decimals and to belittle tens. Back is all jacked. You're comfy over there, baby. I get comfy for this this we'll belittle tens um and then how we're gonna do it to make the show like seamless because jules jack and myself
Starting point is 00:35:33 we always prep before just you know watching game footage going over the rundown of the show when we do the prep process we will score before the guest comes on and we'll have our scores already going. That doesn't mean that we can't be changed based off of the conversation, because I think it's important to, you know, take a primary sources information and, you know, put it into, you know, if we're going to be integrity here. So it doesn't mean we can't change our score, but we will have scored the game ahead of time so that when the guest scores, we'll be able to average all of them and come up with a new final score. So that's what we're going to be doing moving forward. So we're taking it before?
Starting point is 00:36:07 The three of us will score before. The guests will score live, and then we'll get the final. So we're scoring twice? Yeah, but we're not going to do it on camera. We're going to be doing it during research. We talked about this. No, I know that, but I'm just saying. When we actually get to the scoring the show,
Starting point is 00:36:24 we'll let the guest score Right and then we'll reveal our score That's already in the rundown and then we'll average It together so if they say a 10 and you Say an 8 and you say An 8 and I say a 10 which I won't It'll be a 9 I just was doing easy math It'll be a 9 oh we see that it's a 9
Starting point is 00:36:40 Right so we're just the information It's like in a cooking show when they cook something Before and they put the oven in It's cook something before college type shit you just you just said that doesn't matter that's only on your brain because you're watching franklin yeah it kind of is shout out michael douglas so that's what we're gonna be doing shout out michael douglas that's he's probably the cool he's so cool you think benjamin franklin was that cool he did supposedly invent a lot of stuff, the bifocals thing. He was never on Wall Street, so I don't know. Douglas got him beat there.
Starting point is 00:37:12 So that's the score. That's the new scoring system. New score. Now, if you're an astute listener, you might say, well, what the fuck? We're talking integrity. What about these 50 games we just did well now what's me and jack and jules um leading up to this episode we all went over each game and scored them independently
Starting point is 00:37:33 and now we're going to take the prior shows score or the guest score uh and then before we had the guest score the show score and then we'll average all four of those scores up and then we've have a new top 50 list and now we're going to go over those top 50 and reveal what our new integrity based top 50 games are the folks from ernst and young delivered them in a sealed briefcase we don't know the results yet this is live on the air we will be reacting to these we're righting our wrongs the envelopeses are in.

The 2012 Pro Bowl. Right where it should be.
Starting point is 00:41:14 Right where it should be. 49. TBT final, team Barstool versus the Notre Dame alums. Whoa, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute. Let me see these real quick. Ooh, Jack's throwing out full zeros here on Pro Bowl. Zero stakes, zero name. I think that's fair.
Starting point is 00:41:30 Look who has a little Russian judge in him. Yeah. So the Pro Bowl still got beat by a barstool game. Yeah. Yeah. Okay, 48. I think for me the reason. Giants-Nationals.
Starting point is 00:41:39 That's the worst game ever. That's the third worst game we've done. I'm worried Giants have right now. It's baseball. It's a division-around game. ever. That's the third worst game we've done. I'm wearing a Giants hat right now. It's baseball. It's a division-around game. 47. What's 47?
Starting point is 00:41:50 The fake spike game. 2013, week eight, Lions-Cowboys. That beats a NLDS game. They win 18. Star power. Football. Week eight is literally the worst. That's the worst week in football. It's when like half the teams hurt.
Starting point is 00:42:08 The grind starts. I'm just trying to shout out there for the seam heads. Yeah. You know, you seam heads out there, I'm with you. It's fucking bullshit. NFL owns everything. I know. I mean, it is wild, but look at the numbers.
Starting point is 00:42:22 People are tuning in on a week eight game more than a division around game. Easy, Rod. All right. We get it. 46, Gilbert Arena, 60 game. 06. I gave a 6-9 average score. Nice.
Starting point is 00:42:35 We're moving into number 45, the Manning 7. This is a week one game. Manning 7, week one. 2013, Broncos-Ravens. Ooh, I gave it a worse score than, oh, no, I gave it a better score. This is a week one Manning 7 week 1 2013 Broncos Ravens I give it a worse score than Oh no I give it a better score Peyton Manning only gave it a 6-8-8
Starting point is 00:42:50 Well that was before we did it with Peyton So that was you and Sam Okay Solid I think you guys came to a pretty solid move What I'm noticing as a trend here so far Is that Jack is the hardo The biggest hardo here jules is giving the best scores and i'm somewhere in the middle closed ballot votes i turn into the hardest of
Starting point is 00:43:10 hardos when it's closed out you get me in the voting booth and you pull that curtain hard low 44 let's move on to 44 here the snover time game leshawn mccoy colts bills week 17 a little bit of playoff implications here, but it's still a low-scoring game. Great number. 44. I love that number. Tom Raffin. If we had a visually stunning game, this would be top.
Starting point is 00:43:34 Good jerseys popping in the snow. The red on all reds. And it was a beastly game to play as good as Leshawn did. And went to overtime. Oh, shady. Number 43. Ah, man. Out the club game. The out the club game at 43.. Oh, shady. Number 43. Ah, man. Out the club game.
Starting point is 00:43:46 The out the club game at 43. I mean, it was week 11. I get it. Amazing about this is... Me and Gronk gave it the same score. It ended up being the same score as Gronk's score. Wow. What a fucking...
Starting point is 00:43:59 I just love Rob. That's a man of integrity. Man of integrity. It's a 6.5, and then we went through it, and it was a 6.5. Shout out to Jonas Gray. And it stayed in the same exact position. All right, let's see 41 here. Sorry, I got it.
Starting point is 00:44:11 Miracle in Morgantown with Vic. Shout out, Vic. 42. The Hank Aaron game. That jumped up five spots. Wow, okay. Okay. I can dig that on to 41.
Starting point is 00:44:21 Go Hokies. The 2009 Western Conference Finals Nuggets League. See, that being ahead of Miracle in Morgantown, it irks me a bit. But you're being in the 40s. I think it should be noted that stakes in college football at this era before the college football playoffs were a lot higher. The BCS era. If you had national champions expectations,
Starting point is 00:44:43 those were essentially elimination games. Not entirely, but close. And it's a trophy game. Black BCS era. If you had national champions expectations, those were essentially elimination games. Not entirely, but close. It's a trophy game. Black Diamond Trophy. Black Diamond Trophy. Yeah, but Vic didn't play super well on it, though, but it had a great ending. When it mattered most. I give it a 7-2 on these stakes. Yeah, it's a finals game, bro. Still, it's
Starting point is 00:44:59 got to be over a C. Western Conference Finals. See, you look at it like a great like an abcd like i just i just go like one through two i don't think of it like that i don't think of it like that but i get where you're coming from i do the same thing where i like if it's a five it failed for me a championship game is a nine these get degrees If it's a seven, you're average. Average to very good is lower eights. If you're a nine, you're right. It ain't nothing hitting a ten.
Starting point is 00:45:34 For me, like, championship game starts at a nine, and then it can gain incremental points if there's some legacy stuff, there's some backstory. Yeah, if it's championship game seven, though. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, no, but then i think like a game one will lose some points so i might have like a game one stanley cup final be like an 8.8 whatever or if it's a game seven it might go up toward 9.5 or whatever i agree yeah okay so
Starting point is 00:45:56 that was our first 10 first 10 first 10 i feel like it feels pretty feels better yeah feels like it's getting there well yeah more integral i to see it all when it's done. You know, we've got to see the new list. We're on the right track. We keep planning to do these. So then we also asked some fans to send in their opinion of what the greatest game of all time is. So let's hit the mailbox real quick.
Starting point is 00:46:18 Let's hit the mailbox. What are we? Hotline, baby. The hotline for our fans' opinion of the greatest game of all time. Hey, Jules. Long-time caller. Big-time fan. Tom here.
Starting point is 00:46:28 I think the greatest game. It's been talked about. But it's Seahawks-Pats. This guy's name's Tom. You think he was named after Tom? He sounds like he's probably 28. I can see it. He's talking about a Patriots game.
Starting point is 00:46:40 There's got to be a lot of Julians and Toms. He could be under. He's definitely after Brady. Keep going. Hey, Jules. Long-oms. He's definitely after Brady. Keep going. Hey, Jules. Long-time caller. Big-time fan. Tom here.
Starting point is 00:46:49 I think the greatest game. It's been talked about, but it's Seahawks-Pats. Super Bowl. Game-winning touchdown. Ten-point comeback. It had it all. Great play by Butler at the end. I think that's my number one.
Starting point is 00:47:02 You know, it had it all. The storyline, the stars. I know you all talked about it on your podcast before, but that's my vote. Have a great day, bubs. Love ya. Nice to meet you, bubs. It's a good one. It's not the greatest. It's a good one. That was a really good one, actually. Yeah. I think, I suspect
Starting point is 00:47:17 that ends up... Legion of Boom? I suspect that ends up top five for us. We'll see. Hope so. We'll see. Hey, Jules. this is Ago calling. The best game of all time was Cal Stanford football. The band is on the field.
Starting point is 00:47:34 It's a game winning drive to take the lead for Stanford. We all know what happened on the ensuing kickoff. The band was out on the field. He's going into the end zone. The Bears, the Bears have won. Imagine if this game happened today, the referendum about fans and bands and music programs and all the nonsense that would go with it. Back then, it was just a crazy win. Greatest game ever.
Starting point is 00:48:02 Cal Stanford, the band is out on the field. We got to do that game. We got to do that game. That was a, I mean, I grew up in the Bay area, so that we all knew that, that game. I mean, that was pretty crazy, but first off that'll never happen in today's day and age, because if one person were to ever step on foot after all these crazy, like things that are happening at games and public events i'm pretty sure sniper's taking them out done one bad band member gone r.i.p to the tuba kid and also oh my god r.i.p to the pac-12 oh yeah boy yeah one ip that was a pac-10 game that
Starting point is 00:48:43 could have been a package this is now i look that up this is an acc rivalry now right oh my god that's disgusting stanford yeah stanford and cal went to the acc these kids are gonna have to go on a friday fly across country and then come back probably right after the game on a saturday Have Sunday to recover up, go to class. Yeah, right. It's going to be so hard. Also, because we've done some research about this Cal Stanford game, Ron Rivera played for one of the – also Mike Nolan, former 49ers coach.
Starting point is 00:49:18 There's some heat in the coaching staff here. Hey, what's up, guys? Just now seeing the post. Question was asked, what is the greatest game of all time? I'm not sure, but the greatest fight I've ever watched was probably, hmm, good one. Brian Nate Diaz versus Conor McGregor 2, both of them, 1 and 2. That was cinema.
Starting point is 00:49:45 Thank you. Those fights were so entertaining and I've gotten to meet and hang out with Nate Diaz. He's a Stockton guy. I got family in Stockton.
Starting point is 00:49:54 I know how rough and tough those jokers are. And he don't give a fuck. That dude is crazy, bro. He just eats
Starting point is 00:50:01 the punch. Hot. He's a street fighter, man. We're doing some work to try to get him on. We're going to get him on. He's going to come on. That'd be sick.
Starting point is 00:50:08 I wonder what he wants to talk about, which fight he'll pick. Maybe one of these. Maybe one of these. But I agree. UFC, I'm not a big fight guy, UFC, but the fans really seem to like this, and these are fun episodes. He is a scary dude, and if Kyler argues with him on a score, that might be one where I turtle.
Starting point is 00:50:25 I might turtle big time. Oh, yeah, it's 10. Yeah, he'll knock your ass out. Straight out. Yeah. Yeah, I don't disagree with that at all. Yeah, I think we'd all give him that. We'd all give him that.
Starting point is 00:50:37 Actually, he's such a charming, sweet dude if he likes you. Yeah, but actually, this makes me think of, we got to get some boxing matches in here. I'm down, brother. We got to get some boxing. in here i'm down brother you gotta get some sweet science baby i want tyson tyson would rock tyson would rock we gotta get so many good but if tyson had a score that you didn't fucking like what would you do there kyler i would well with our new new and improved scoring system you want to say anything we would guide him smug look in your eye we would guide him but then we would know that our system is designed properly with data and thought that we still have
Starting point is 00:51:11 an integrity score even if mike wants to give everything tens i dig it i think mike would have an integrity fight i think so great i think so too also the thing with mike is he's not a bullshitter those stakes are super high the star power of mike in the 90s, super high, right? And then, you know, maybe some of these fights where he knocks a guy out in like three seconds isn't the best gameplay. If we got Mike in the studio, man, they'd be so tight. Oh, my God. Is he going to beat what's-his-dick when they fight? Jake Paul.
Starting point is 00:51:39 I've heard it's like a sanctioned fight. It is. Heavyweight. 16-ounce gloves. Those are big gloves. Those are big gloves. Those are big boys. Okay. If we get over my dead body, a Paul is coming on this podcast.
Starting point is 00:51:50 My God. Well, his gloves are right here. His glove. He sent me a glove, Jake. Oh, we like Jake. I forgot about it. Yeah, we're a big Paul. We're a Jake guy.
Starting point is 00:51:56 We love those guys. I can't wait for a Paul to come. He sent me a fight. Fight glove. We love those guys. Maybe we'll go on Impulsive or whatever his pod's called. We'll drink Prime. We love those guys.
Starting point is 00:52:05 No, I think that's his brother. Oh, okay. Same guy to me. Whatever. Yeah, they're all the same. But go Iron Mike. Respect him. They're fucking geniuses.
Starting point is 00:52:12 And the motherfucker, I mean, he looks like he's learned how to fight pretty damn good. Also, boxing has always been about the spectacle. It's always been about the story leading up to it. They've just taken it to the nth degree. And they know how to make a damn story. Yeah, you're right. Yeah. All right.
Starting point is 00:52:24 One more voicemail on this story. Yeah, you're right. One more voicemail on this block. Hey Jules, Ryan calling in from Tampa. Just a quick one. Best game of all time has to be the miracle on ice. Biggest upset in the history of sports, no
Starting point is 00:52:39 questions, hands down. We had a bunch of college kids playing against a Russian team that had just beat the NHL All-Star team by about seven goals the week before. So craziest upset of all time. Best game of all time. See you later. That is a pretty amazing game.
Starting point is 00:53:00 That would be an elevator pitch game. Will we get Kurt Russell? Not tonight, boys. Not tonight. Mike Rizzioni from Winthrop, Massachusetts. Oh? Yeah. Because this is, you know, I'm a hockey guy.
Starting point is 00:53:13 I actually bought a jersey for when we can do this game. The angle that I want to do and the reason why we haven't just done it yet is because there's like three or four of these Russian guys that speak English, and I think that there's a world where we could get one of them. There's been some documentaries about them that are great. I don't know right now. That's a good point. I don't know right now, bubs.
Starting point is 00:53:33 This is a pro-America podcast. And I don't think their government would allow us to get on here. Talk about defeating communism. Yeah. Your fictional character. Rocky and Drago. For real. Here's a good question.
Starting point is 00:53:46 He brings up Miracle on Ice. We're talking Miracle. We're talking Herb Brooks. We're talking Kurt Russell. What other game that we have done in our top 50 would translate well into a great movie? Jack. There's one for you. That's a great segment.
Starting point is 00:54:01 Have we done The Malice in the Palace yet? We have not. No. That'd be a sick movie. That'd be a sick movie that'd be a psych movie i can just be the end of like the guy that looks like jerry ferrari just getting dunked that butter on our test you remember that guy he's out there on the course um well 28 to 3 technically had 80 for brady oh you're're right. You're right. And I think we do have some 80 for Brady gear on there. Shout out to Jane Fonda. Yeah, we have her.
Starting point is 00:54:29 Lily Tomlin. Lily Tomlin. We love them all. Immaculate Reception. I don't know that there's enough. You could probably. Well, Kurt Warner had the movie, which is. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:40 Yeah. Underdog. American Underdog. Whatever it's called. You could probably do a Christian movie about Boise State, Oklahoma. I don't think that's a Christian school. I know, but you could pick one of those Christian kids from Boise. They're a little like in the Utah vein.
Starting point is 00:54:52 You could make one, and then they propose to the girl. Oh, no. The Ian Johnson story. Oh, my gosh. That would rock. That's the biggest game of my life. I swear I love you. I got a surprise for you after the game.
Starting point is 00:55:07 If we win. You know what? Let's put that on the old notes. Who plays Zabransky? Ed Sheeran. No. Who's our... Santino?
Starting point is 00:55:21 Andrew Santino. That's fine. Andrew Santino. I don't know how much Jared Zabransky How much he would do In a Christian produced movie Yeah I don't know
Starting point is 00:55:29 For the right money I'm sure he'd do it I'm trying to think like And Walton Goggins Is Bob Stoops Who's playing Adrian Peterson Oh I gotta
Starting point is 00:55:41 Who's Jonathan Majors And Let's go Next Topic Okay 40 to. Who's Jonathan Majors? And let's go on. Next topic. Okay. 40 to 31.
Starting point is 00:55:48 Let's unveil these. Ready? Ricky's record. Speaking of college football, 1999, week 11. Mack Brown. Ricky did it, baby. It's a big. I mean, there's.
Starting point is 00:55:59 Jack's three on the name. Yeah. Stakes seven. Ricky's record. Yeah. Run, Ricky, run. Run, Ricky, run. That was a really good one. I just like the name. Yeah. Stakes. Ricky's record? Yeah. Run, Ricky, run. That would have been a good one. That was a really good one.
Starting point is 00:56:07 I just like the cultural. I think that wasn't that a E40 or something? That was like a movie or a 30 for 30. Yeah, 30. E40. We got to get Ricky on in person because he's close by. That'd be sweet. Let's do 39.
Starting point is 00:56:23 39. I went and hung out with him at his house once. He's a Manhattan Beach guy, right? Yeah. It wasn't his house. It's like his creative studio. Ooh. And we just hung out.
Starting point is 00:56:33 I brought some tacos. That's tight. How were the tacos? They were phenomenal, but I was starving on the way, and he hit me up, and it was like a pretty cool... I think he loved the gesture.
Starting point is 00:56:42 He sat and ate tacos and talked. You brought the tacos? I brought the tacos. Very good guest move. You're very good at the gesture, the hangout gesture. And a lot of it's food-based, but it's thoughtful. I think you should get more credit for that. Thank you, Kyler.
Starting point is 00:56:57 Yeah, you're welcome. 39. 39. 39. The 2018 Stanley Cup Final Game 5, Caps versus Golden Knights, PFT was our guest. I mean, this is suitable for this game, the Woodhead game. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:57:13 The Woodhead score. You know what I mean? You overlook it a little. It was really a great thing. Jack, your scores are some hard anti-hockey bias here. Sorry, sorry. I think it's just like, yeah, I don't know. This one cracking the top 30 is below 40 or above 40,
Starting point is 00:57:32 whatever you want to say. Yeah, it feels a little weird, but yeah, I think game five, the star power, I think, pulled it down a little bit for me, given it was just OV and PFT. A 4-0. Yeah, Jack, this is pretty. is pretty sorry sorry i might have gone a little hard you went real hard here like and just look at next to the record here where you scored ricky record 5.5 fine but like there's only one star in that game or maybe two mac brown and
Starting point is 00:57:57 ricky williams yo dan campbell was on that dan campbell apple white or apple apple apple white fuck um it's apple, isn't it? Sorry. Yeah. It's White. I pulled this one down. Yeah. 38.
Starting point is 00:58:08 Shall we touch on 38? But Jack hates hockey. Good to know. Hey, I'm a puck head, guy. Let's go Bruins. I should have sandbagged college basketball. Oh, we only have one to do it for. That one dropped 10 positions.
Starting point is 00:58:19 Wow. It was 29, which felt probably right for it. But okay. That baby had an anvil on its waist. And his name was Jack McCarthy. My 89. Number 38. The Legion of Boom game with Carissa Thompson.
Starting point is 00:58:33 Seahawks, Broncos. This was a bit of a blowout Super Bowl. The name is pretty better than a two, Jack. Jack throws out twos like a... The gameplay, the Seahawks played really well right but like no one's gonna look back and be like that was one heck of a super bowl they'll be like that's true first snap was over his head yeah it was like safety literally from the first player like all right this is gonna be done yeah i was in new york watching this thing i
Starting point is 00:59:01 black bounce cold weather you were at the Were you at MetLife for this one? No. Oh, you're in the summer. I mean, I'm in Dola. Festivities. Oh, I like it. It was awesome, though, because you'd watch the game, and you had a booth, and during the game,
Starting point is 00:59:17 when the game was on, it's full attention. The game's on, playing loud. And then as soon as it went to commercial, it'd be bumping out. And then as soon as the game came back, the music would stop. He'd go to the game play. It's like going to a basketball game or a hockey game.
Starting point is 00:59:29 I was going to say a wild game on musical chairs there. It was fun. That's tight. 37. The Sean Alexander game. 2019 Western Conference semifinals. Warriors versus Rockets.
Starting point is 00:59:40 This was with Ryan Rosillo, Steph Curry, Ice Cold in the first half. On fire in the second half. They took down Chris Paul, James Harden. This was with Ryan Rosillo, Steph Curry, Ice Cold in the first half. On fire in the second half. They took down Chris Paul, James Harden. This one is 37. I mean, that's a respectable. That feels right for that. Where were we all at? He gave it a 7-0. Yeah. I gave it a 7-8.
Starting point is 00:59:56 Yeah, you went a little high. I think you star power, though, and I think that was fair. That Warriors team. No name killed this one. Yeah. Jack Sandbag did name killed this one. Yeah. Jack Sandbag did. What's up? At KD that year.
Starting point is 01:00:09 Yeah. Yeah. I mean, he got injured in these playoffs. Yeah. A lot of star power for sure. Hella stars. Like four Hall of Famers. Five Hall of Famers.
Starting point is 01:00:19 I like to think of star power, too, as not just like total stars, but like percentage of stars. So I feel like with these super teams in basketball, if you've got four stars on a team and there's five players, really, like that's really high where it's like you know that's like wrestling wrestling or fighting gets higher stakes because if they're both fucking stars yeah not stakes but star power anyway and if you'll remember the calise was at this game sitting courtside for some reason yes the calise that's why jack had an 8.4 that That's right. You guys had the same star power on that one. Nice. Yeah. Nice. Number 36, moving on. 21-31, 1995.
Starting point is 01:00:51 Angels versus Orioles when Cal Ripken set the record. The Iron Man. This game we did with Louis Black. That feels right. That feels right. That feels good. Heck of a streak. Game itself.
Starting point is 01:01:01 What do I like? We're here for the streak. We're not here for it. So that one moved up three positions this feels right i kind of i kind of sunk it a little bit with my stakes because the regular season baseball game yeah but the stakes this is a this is a record that was going for yeah if you were to account the stakes leading up to this maybe i probably would have like the stakes here was just like just don't get the flu yeah don't have kevin costa cheat on your
Starting point is 01:01:23 way right just make it to the ballpark this is kevin costa and five innings and five and make Just don't get the flu. Don't have Kevin Costner cheat on your wife. Just make it to the ballpark. Kevin Costner. And five innings. And make it five innings. You think Kevin Costner would come on? I bet he would. I don't think he would. He's just too cool.
Starting point is 01:01:36 He's filming photography of something I saw. He's making his own. He's a baseball. I mean, he's got to be a sport fan. What about Tin Cup? Tin Cup. All-timer. Love Tin Cup. We've always talked about doing a fictional game at some point moving on 35 shout out jonas gray we are on to the 2011 stanley cup final game seven bruins canucks with big z
Starting point is 01:02:00 joe list came on and chopped it up with us on this one. This is 35. Feels a little low. This feels low. This feels low. Jack, 7.9 stakes. This is a game seven of a major sport. Is that too high on the list? No, it's too low on the list, so it should be higher. The score is too low.
Starting point is 01:02:17 The placement is too high. So should it be closer to 50 or closer to one? Closer to one. Closer to one. So it shouldn't be lower. Yes. It's all about perspective. Yeah, I'm with you.
Starting point is 01:02:32 It should be lower. I think your anti-hockey bias, 7.9 out of a game 7. I mean, I guess it puts it in the same place as a Super Bowl. Char had an integrity score. Well, Char didn't score this. Remember we'd scored after? I feel like every... Yeah.
Starting point is 01:02:52 The name dragged it down for me. I gave it an eight. Yeah. I gave it an eight. Jules, I think your score was pretty good. Yeah. And I gave it a higher name, even though it doesn't technically have a name,
Starting point is 01:03:02 but it's very present culturally. there was literally fucking riots after that picture of those like kids making out in the street with fire that was pretty kind of sticks with you so okay all right i'll give you this should be higher sweetness anti-hockey body 34 34 34 sweet ricky williams the bush game 2000 2005 week 11 11, Fresno State, USC. Reggie ran for 500-something all-purpose yards. That's a record, right? That was a record. I think it still stands.
Starting point is 01:03:33 This one, rank change. Woo. Down 16. Woo. Yeah. Also, the last Seneca final went up nine, but still didn't go quite enough. And these two next to each other don't feel great. No. Yeah. Moving on to 33, Larry Bird two next to each other don't feel great. No.
Starting point is 01:03:45 Yeah. Moving on to 33, Larry Bird, we love you. Doesn't feel great. Yeah. 2001 NCAA title, Duke versus Arizona. This one didn't move much. Went down one spot in the rankings. I mean, the stakes are high.
Starting point is 01:03:58 I think we're all pretty much in agreement in the nine region there. No name. 9.6, Jack. Yeah, that was high, I think. A little too high, probably. Gameplay, I mean, it was closed down to the end. Was this dude going back to back? It is a title game.
Starting point is 01:04:15 It is two blue chip programs. I do think stakes is a little high there, Jack. Yeah, I think that's my college basketball bias showing. Yeah, fool. Sorry, I think that's my college basketball bias showing. Yeah, fool. Sorry, guys. But it was... No, Duke was not going back-to-back on this one, just to clarify. Yeah, I'll admit my wrongs there.
Starting point is 01:04:34 Are 32? 32! Is that OJ? RIP? RIP, juice. He was 32. 2014 BCS National Championship. Auburn versus FSUsu we did this one with
Starting point is 01:04:47 burke kreischer as you'll remember he may not you may i will say this one the star power and the no name i think hurt this one a little bit the well no name and star power this is an underrated bcs game this was this is a spectacular this was a great fucking game kick return comeback at the rose bowl i mean you name it yeah yeah this this one but i mean it moved up nine spots those are blue chip blue chip blue chip right like fsu that time this was an fsu in the 90s with dion no you know what i mean like fisher this is just this is like a random this was a random come up for fsu yeah yes yeah same with auburn i mean like in auburn usually i mean they've lived in the shadow of alabama i'm not trying to put no salt but like right auburn does the thing where they kind of
Starting point is 01:05:34 like you hear and then they spike for you too and then they yeah they always do that like consistent blue chip yeah then their coach leaves becomes a senator fucks over the country yeah it's like yeah it is very good that's a good way to put auburn yeah this is this feels too low but um i think it is notable to point out that this there isn't any cachet to this game even though it it's up there with boise state oklahoma in terms of like actual gameplay that maybe doesn't have as quite iconic plays but the back and forth was pretty wild on this one. Yeah, this is certainly one to revisit if you forgot about it. Yeah. 31, moving on.
Starting point is 01:06:09 The 2002 Western Conference Finals Game 5, Lakers versus Kings. Hasan Minhaj, Mike Bibby were with us for this one. This feels a little too... I gave Sacramento King bias on my score. Zero rank change. Wow. Interesting. That's incredible's incredible yeah so we're
Starting point is 01:06:26 staying at 31 with that one nailed that one i used to we had integrity with this score the referees did not in that game we're we're i like that it's pretty cool to see a game not change at all yeah i like that's integrity neat cool okay let's do another jump into some of these Go into the hotline again What's going on in the hotline bling right now Same thing, audience Giving us their favorite or their greatest games of all time I love it Hi, this is Brittany from Roseville I just wanted to say that the greatest game
Starting point is 01:06:57 In my opinion, because it's biased Is the 2017 Falcons Patriots Super Bowl Because it was a sweet, sweet Victory to come from behind. And obviously, Julian, you had the greatest catch of all time, in my opinion. I mean, that's a pretty crazy game. I will say, now we've selected... From Roseville. That's not even a Bostonian.
Starting point is 01:07:16 Shout out to Bruce from Roseville. Probably a parent. A lot of calls from all over the places. It's cool. Probably a parent from like wusta or something i love it hey shout out to teddy bruski when we're talking roseville california teddy bruski we got to get him on in person we got to get teddy back so while we we didn't teddy's intensity will he you might you might get scared kyler on your scoring system shit well i don't have to get scared anymore because they're allowed to score freely with influence and we've protected it from the back end but i will say a lot of by far the most calls and most
Starting point is 01:07:51 examples of the greatest game of all time from the fans was this game there was probably maybe about like 50 callers just said this game we didn't obviously put all 50 because that would be a lot but um from our fans this is unquestionably the fan favorite for best game of all time. Makes sense. We also have a hard Patriots bias. I don't think so. I think we got some others. I think so, too, but I just think our fans are... If we had a
Starting point is 01:08:15 look at some demographics, I'd say we're a lot of Patriots fans. Hey, what's up, Jules? This is K.O. Farm from Baltimore. Baltimore. The greatest game of all time is game five of the 95 divisional series between the Mariners and the Yankees. You have the main character Baltimore. I can't wait to see this. Jesus. The pitchers Eber and Reddy Johnson coming in and gutting out the 9th, 10th, and 11th after pitching seven innings two days before. Jesus. We have a Game 5 win in a series that literally forced local officials
Starting point is 01:08:51 to keep baseball in Seattle. Not to mention appearances from David Cohn, Mariano Rivera, and the spread of talent in New York at the time. This game has the names, the moments, and the narrative. It is simply the greatest. Way to stick your games, baby. For baseball, that's great. I think this is the high watermark for baseball.
Starting point is 01:09:14 Mid to late 90s baseball. Gosh. Damn, that Yankees team was so good. Randy Johnson. How did that Mariners team never win a championship? I know. Griffey, Johnson, Martinez, Alex Rodriguez. Baseball's tricky, man. Because it's like those Braves in the 90s.
Starting point is 01:09:29 They only got one. They had like the best pitching ever. Yeah. Right? Dude. Maddox, Schultz. Glavin. Glavin.
Starting point is 01:09:37 From Bill Ricker. Great hockey player. You know who I saw in Bahamas? Who? Chipper Jones. No way. And I was literally talking with the guy
Starting point is 01:09:46 on the craps table who was working it. We were talking and he was watching the baseball game kinda while he was, you know,
Starting point is 01:09:54 I was like, who's your team? He goes, I love the Braves. I go, dude, I used to fucking hate Chipper Jones
Starting point is 01:09:59 because all he did was tear our fucking face off in San Francisco. And then 10 minutes later Chipper jones walks in simulation simulation and he was such a gentleman that rocks do you guys chop it up oh we chopped it up a little bro you manifested chipper jones that is wild chip you never know it's a great baseball name now you just gotta now you just got to manifest Tom Brady. Andrew Jones.
Starting point is 01:10:26 I love Chipper and Andrew Jones was always fun. The Jones brothers. Yeah, John Smoltz. Those Braves teams were fun. They were great. Yeah. Mama said it's when Bobby Boucher showed up at halftime and the Muck Dogs won the bourbon bowl.
Starting point is 01:10:40 Love that game. Great game. This guy makes a good point. Had some star power. I like this guy. Do you remember? And that's why you don't do drugs. Coming from Lawrence Taylor.
Starting point is 01:10:52 Want Lawrence Taylor on here too. Awesome. Oh, my God. By the way. Need to get LT. Got to get LT. That would be incredible. Hey, Jules.
Starting point is 01:11:00 Best game of all time. I mean, as a hockey fan, I got to go with the Bruins game seven over the Leafs. 2013, down 4-1 with 10 minutes and 42 seconds left to go in the game. Nathan Horton scores for 10 minutes, followed by two goals with the goalie pulled. Patrice Bergeron scoring the tying goal. Leland Lucci scoring the third goal.
Starting point is 01:11:25 And then, of course, the GOAT, Patrice Bergeron scoring the tying goal. Lelon Lucci scoring the third goal. And then, of course, the GOAT, Patrice Bergeron, in overtime, sending the Bruins on to the second round. What a comeback. Go Bruins. Go Boston. Go Pats. See you later, Jules. Dude, I remember that game.
Starting point is 01:11:38 That was a great game. Because we were out in Boston. You know what I mean? I think that was in Toronto. No, wasn't in that was that was in toronto or no it was in boston it was in boston yeah it was 2011 it was on their cup run it was 2013 he might be wrong you might be wrong yeah yeah it was 11 um i drank and i know i'm not supposed to but sean thornton was hosting the sir stanley cup and i drank some beer out of it i'm a big like stickler for like the
Starting point is 01:12:05 sanctity and the cultural nature and the rules around the Stanley Cup I think you being a Super Bowl champion I wasn't a Super Bowl champion at the time oh well then fuck you maybe maybe sir Stanley ignited it maybe that was how they want to stand the cup that year. We'll look it up. We should get him on. I wonder if he's still in Boston when we go to Boston. Maybe we can record some episodes. This is a great game.
Starting point is 01:12:34 Down 4-1. Down 28-3. Down three games to none. Fucking Boston. No sports. Don't bet against Boston. Hell yeah. All right. Let's get back to these. Fucking Boston Dolphins. Don't bet against Boston. Hell yeah. Alright, let's get back to these. Paul Pierce, did he
Starting point is 01:12:49 shit his pants? No points. Okay, 30 to 21. Let's see it. Let's get to it, baby. Number 30, Squish the Fish. 1985 AFC Championship Patriots Dolphins with Gary Goldman. Number 30.
Starting point is 01:13:11 This one dropped seven spots in the rankings to bring us to a 7.56 total score. I mean, what? What a-hole. Jack. What? 6, 7, 5. What did I put? 8, 2. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:13:19 8, 7, 8. I'm a little Russian judging here. Name is Squish the Fish. That's a great name. I don't know why I put that in. That was like a huge thing for the Patriots after that. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:13:28 But it's not entirely fair to give that game all of Squish the Fish. Squish the Fish was kind of bigger and not just a game. I think that's where it started, though. That's where it originated. Yeah, it might have. Yeah. Yeah, a little low there. You know, I want to say, I've been catching a lot of shit for being Mr. Poopypants on
Starting point is 01:13:43 scores, and look at these scores on Jack. Some bullshit. on jack some bullshit hater low-key closeted hater number 29 the almost tie game this one dropped 23 spots yeah sorry mad max yeah uh this was 2022 week 18 chargers raiders a short-lived time in the top 10. A short-lived time. Hey, you're there for a minute. Yeah, dude. Starpower, I went hella low here. Sorry, guys. Why? Jack hates Brandon Staley.
Starting point is 01:14:14 Yeah, sorry. That's a negative pointer? Yeah, RIP Brandon Staley. Not every play caller's a good head coach. Words to live by. Which is how it goes. The Peter's principle. Words to live by. Number 28.

Starting point is 01:14:51 No No This was us yeah Back in the day 27 Star Power I guess there was no quarterback Yeah Mitch Trubisky
Starting point is 01:14:59 And then the Was it Nick Foles too? And then Nick Foles yeah That's true 27 was The Super Bowl 56 Rams-Bangles. We did this one with Andrew Whitworth, the farewell Andrew Whitworth. 27, dropped 10 spots to net us out at a 7.64.
Starting point is 01:15:20 A random hit it and quit it for the Rams, you know. Yeah. Sounds about right. It does. Spangles, too. Jack with a two. Jack, you love throwing out the two on names. There's just no name.
Starting point is 01:15:31 There's no name. No, it's true. But I just went super hard on the no name there. 26 was the Cowboys-Bills Super Bowl with Michael Irvin. How about them Cowboys? How about them Cowboys? That was with Coach Jimmy Johnson, man. Mike Jackson on the halftime show.
Starting point is 01:15:47 You rode out of a casino with Jimmy Johnson. That's all you hear. How about them cowboys? Is Jimmy Johnson like a ring on his pinky guy? Jimmy Johnson, I'll tell you right now, has probably the most electric hairline I've ever seen. I was just going to say, how is the hair off camera? We went on and we did a Survivor thing as a team.
Starting point is 01:16:08 Like, we did, like, the whole... And Jimmy, he was on Survivor. So, like, if you would take a look at Jimmy when he was on Survivor, like, 30 years ago or 20 years ago, and now, I mean, the guy was, like, fooling it, looked the same. Dude, he was actually... He was on the real Survivor?

To go in, in Foxboro, beat the shit out of camp. Like, that's, I give them that. Yeah, tip your hat sometimes. Speaking of hit it and quit it, that was a Jets hit it and quit it moment. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:19:42 Hotline. Let's see what the fans are saying. Hey, this is zach from new hampshire my homer pick for greatest game of all time week 13 2003 patriots at colt huge game patriots go up 31 to 10 colt come back tie it up 31 all and of course the pats make a goal line stand to end the game and ultimately get home field advantage and win their second Super Bowl in three
Starting point is 01:20:09 years. Best game all time. Sneak Pat. In category of regular season games that's in there. It's up there. Yeah. Those kind of cool comebacks. Goal line stand. Willie McGinnis. Not a lot of games in a goal line stand. And you got Brady Payton.
Starting point is 01:20:25 Heidi Payton. Heidi Brady line stands. And you got Brady, Peyton. Heidi Peyton. Heidi Brady Peyton. Height. Yeah, and this was before the Dynasty, right? This is only one Super Bowl. This was before he was Tom motherfucking Brady. Great point. Not a lot of games in on goal line stands.
Starting point is 01:20:36 All right, let's hear another fan's greatest game of all time. Jules, Ray Hudson here. Calling about the greatest game. First off, long-time listener, first time listener first time caller i'm gonna have to go with fortnite original map risky reels work away over to lazy links occasional hot hot drop to tilt the towers boys together end of the day can't beat it you are talking my love where are we dropping boys i'm talking that's the exact location you had to go what was the one
Starting point is 01:21:07 when this thing first came out before it became way too crazy with the building and editing and all this shit I was hooked on it 4 or 5 guys on the team I used to call Adam Butler because Adam Butler was hella good I'd be like yo Adam you on?
Starting point is 01:21:23 he's like yeah man let's go because previous older guys we were playing Cod Because Adam Butler was hella good. I'd be like, yo, Adam, you on? He's like, yeah, man, let's go. Because previous older guys, we were playing COD. But when this came out, the original map, spectacular. Who was in the COD crew? Randy was in it. Wow, really? Yeah, everyone was in it.
Starting point is 01:21:44 Orenberger, Shane Vereen, Tyler Gaffney. But I remember when I was the younger, I was like one of the rookies, and Randy would come play on with us. And you'd see Randy's guy in the fucking Battle Royale. He'd be looking at the sky and shit, and Randy'd be, oh, man, this shit is hella good. And then fast forward to when I was the old guy playing these Fortnite's with the fucking younger guys. I was a slapdick.
Starting point is 01:22:09 It's crazy. I don't know if you're... When you're born and you start out with three buttons, these kids, they're starting out with the triggers and stuff. Your dexterity's developed quicker at a younger age. Time comes for everybody, baby. Comes for everybody. Jug jugs for the boys, though.
Starting point is 01:22:24 If you could score this game, what would you score it? What's the star power? What? What's the stakes of Fortnite original map? Stakes would be low. Actually, stakes at the time were high because when you got a fucking win with your boys
Starting point is 01:22:39 for like the first time. I remember we all used to take pictures of it. You need to take a picture of the victory. Number one victory. Number one. Victory Royale. Yeah, I remember we all used to take pictures of it. You need to take a picture of the victory. Number one victory. Number one. Victory Royale. Yeah, Fortnite is about to go down. Be doing a little dance and shit.
Starting point is 01:22:52 Emoting. Oh my God. God, I want to play some Fortnite now. This game of all time, in my opinion, is the miracle in Motown, whatever it's called. December 3rd, 2015. The Packers were trailing late in the game. They ended up coming back and beating the Lions. When time expired, we got to throw a Hail Mary and we won the game. Go Pack Go.
Starting point is 01:23:14 Was that the one with the double Hail Mary? December 3rd. It won NFL Play of the Year Award. Was it a Hail Mary? Yeah, it was Aaron Rodgers. Aaron Rodgers won one of his five Hail Marys. 61-yard Hail Mary past the end zone. Caught by tight end Richard Rodgers for the game-winning touchdown.
Starting point is 01:23:34 That'd be a good one to do. I like that. Love a nice NFC North game. Although, I hate when an NFC North game is played in Detroit because they all need to be outside. And I hate when it's indoors late in the season. I completely even though i tore my acl in detroit and i hate that fucking field but that new stadium which is probably this this one yeah the ford the ford built in an old factory it's like underground it's fucking sick so for indoor stadium spectrum it's still pretty badass yeah
Starting point is 01:24:06 you don't think it's like a i mean you know the old one was just like a yeah but it's like an old factory they like it's just i think that's cool wait so we're gonna have three out of four in a we're gonna have bears will be indoors lions will be indoors pack will be outdoors vikings indoors like they've always been indoors. Three out of four indoors now. It's cold out there. Is Bears full? I know they released the plans. Wait, aren't they doing a new one? They're doing a new stadium in Chicago. Are they making it outdoors or indoors? I think it's indoors. Is it?
Starting point is 01:24:34 I thought that was one of the coolest stadiums we played in. Soldier Field. I know. Soldier Field. And they renovated it. So it looked like a UFO. Yeah, it looked awesome. I don't know. It just felt cool. And I don't know. It felt old, but it was kind of new. It's kind of like what they did with Fenway where it still has the old charm, but it's like slightly more better amenities.
Starting point is 01:24:52 All right, last one here. And the long time is the Patriots come back versus the Atlanta Falcons and the Super Bowl. You need to throw you when they came back and beat the Atlanta Falcons and Julian Adelman in that best catch in the game. And then Tom Brady threw for the rest of the passing touchdowns. And then they ran in for the rushing touchdown to score in overtime to win the game. And then the next year they lost to the Philadelphia Eagles with the set.
Starting point is 01:25:20 How old is this kid? Why'd you have to throw in the last part, bro? It makes me feel bad for swearing. How old is this kid? He's a good kid. I don last part, bro? It makes you feel bad for swearing. How old is this kid? He's a good kid. I don't know. It sounded like he just came in from playing, though. Like it was that still out of breath,
Starting point is 01:25:30 like ready to take a huge swig of a Gatorade and get your whole story out at once. This is like going out and playing for a kid this day and age. Yeah, right. He just got off a sweaty match of Fortnite and his mom gave him two seconds left to go out and fucking go out and to eat dinner and he's like i gotta get this in real quick let me call this in

Starting point is 01:29:32 It's still higher than Jack's two bullshit on every single game that doesn't have a cool name. I'm going to match a pretty cool name. Stakes are 2-1. Yeah. It was determined ahead of time. All right, bro. All right, moving. Are we including the stakes in the writer's room beforehand?
Starting point is 01:29:47 Hey, what if we did the longest match yet? What if we did this? It's real. Still got to go and execute. It's fucking real. And that's why I gave the game play and I put one. Oh, very good. Good point.
Starting point is 01:29:56 19. We're inside the top 20. Brandon LaFell. Brandon LaFell. We love you, JoJo. Super Bowl 54. 49ers Chiefs. Heidi Gardner in the building.
Starting point is 01:30:09 I know. Jules was in the building for that game. Drop 10 spots down in Miami. Drop 10 spots. Sorry, Heidi. 8.06 was the total score. How does this feel,
Starting point is 01:30:18 fellas? That feels okay. I mean, it's the kickoff of their dynasty. Yeah, that's true. We're catching a little bit of shit from our fans, and I think it's true that all the Chiefs games that we cover
Starting point is 01:30:30 are only from fans and not from players. So we might need to hit the old talent book or get some Chief players of this dynasty to come talk about some games. We're going to get Travis Kelce on this bad boy. That'd be tight, man. Maybe get Rasheed Rice to I text over here. I text him Sorry too soon too soon All right, what's Travis? I
Starting point is 01:30:55 Didn't want to just fucking ask him. I say you want to come hang out maybe then you know kind of Did he big-time Big time he said he was busy? He didn't big time me. He said he was busy. He just signed a new deal. The highest paid tenant. How much? I don't think the numbers came out, but they said high.
Starting point is 01:31:12 I think it was $34 million. Yeah, but I don't know how many years. That would be probably like two years maybe. I think two years. Good for him. Hey, you know, you manifest. Pepper Jones will manifest Travis Kelsey. Also, Patrick said he'd do it. We're just scheduling.
Starting point is 01:31:25 I would love to get Pat on and talk to him. I have a couple stories I would love to break down with Patrick Mahomes. Pre-Patrick Mahomes at a Super Bowl, together hanging out as backup Patrick Mahomes. That's crazy. You got him before he was the man. Let's all agree to have this show last long enough for when Andy Reid retires, we get him on here because that would be. Andy Reid would be awesome.
Starting point is 01:31:48 Awesome. What would you do for the food spread for Andy Reid? Food spread? I mean, cheeseburgers comes to mind. Just wear Hawaiian shirts. You going to pass those nuggies? Those little fingers? So funny.
Starting point is 01:32:02 He's a great actor. He's a great actor. Oh, okay. I think you you gotta go with the smorgasbord of just you gotta have a bunch of good handhelds you gotta have like a fried chicken sandwich you gotta have a burger i'd even throw in like a great french dip maybe have like hillstones or houston's or r&d kitchen we get one of those i mean a deviled egg or two like he he probably likes your thing with deviled egg or two. Like, he probably likes... Your thing with deviled eggs is... I love deviled eggs. It's crazy.
Starting point is 01:32:28 Bro, those ones at Hillstone the other day? Oh, I'm still thinking about them. I'm still thinking about them. Are you actually still thinking about them? Yes, I did the other day. I did the other day. Okay, all right, just checking. 18, Peyton Manning.
Starting point is 01:32:39 UFC 229, Khabib McGregor. 8.08, we had Dana White in here with us doing that one. A lot of people love this episode. It was a fan favorite. One of the fan favorites. It's jumped 15 spots, which I think deservedly so. It deserves. For sure.
Starting point is 01:32:54 18 is a great number, too. It is. Time. I love it. 17, the Phillip Rivers game here. The 2011 NBA Finals Game 6. Mark Cuban dropped 14 spots. What's the total score?
Starting point is 01:33:10 The total score is now an 8.13. From a 9.5. Still feels high. Dropped 14 spots, yeah. Still feels high. The dirty dirt game. The old rank was third, too, so. This feels maybe a little bit high, but it feels okay here.
Starting point is 01:33:22 We're on the right track. We're making progress. I mean, that's a big upset, beat those Heat teams. Yeah, big time. That was a huge three guys. And only in six games, too. Very big, big three. Number 16.
Starting point is 01:33:37 Montana. Wide right. Wide right. Super Bowl 25. Bills Giants. Tom Papa was in studio with us reliving that one 8.32 the name is doing a lot of heavy lifting
Starting point is 01:33:49 here the name is I mean we're still talking about it stakes too here yeah stakes and name I just got to say one thing Tom Papa I went and did his show and he his podcast what is it called breaking bread breaking bread and he he bakes everyone
Starting point is 01:34:06 a homemade loaf of bread that's so kind thoughtful brought that loaf home and i i cut it up for lily in the morning for for toast she hadn't stopped asking about it she goes dad can we have that bread i go uh i'm not a guy that lies to the kid. You know, I don't... One of my friends, one of those guys, is he a friend, not a friend? A guy's podcast I went on to that gave me this bread. I don't think he can just make it for me every day.
Starting point is 01:34:36 So he goes, Dad, well, I love that bread. It was a sourdough. It was good. Very good. Oh, my God. Lily might have to get Tom on the phone. That's a ringing endorsement. Hey, I walked in. So Tom has daughters. So I know he understands that.
Starting point is 01:34:51 It's tough when I can't give my daughter a Tom Papa loaf of bread. Damn. Tommy B might have to start marketing that stuff or selling it or something. Dude. That is awesome. That's a great present for people when they could. Like, that takes time. You think about that that it's thoughtful it was i mean it was spectacular now you're in a precarious situation though yeah i know you gotta learn i lie to my child thanks
Starting point is 01:35:15 papa you'll lie yeah this tom papa's bread no it doesn't taste like it dad all right moving on number 15 the double comeback wow 2014 afc divisional round ravens patriots seems a little high the double pass the double comeback seems a little yeah i mean i don't know it is up 12 spots from last time to me this is like a top 10 game for sure yeah um an 8.33 overall divisional round game guys yeah gameplay is great star power is good and there's a legacy to it granted we are biased patriot fans for sure um but as for a non-super people don't realize this was a uh this was a rivalry oh this was a rivalry for a good seven eight years oh yeah ravens patri. Could have even been longer before I was there because Ray would always
Starting point is 01:36:07 give us trouble. For sure. But, like, they had no problem coming into Foxborough and playing us. They beat our ass in Foxborough twice.
Starting point is 01:36:15 Was it twice? Maybe. I remember the game you balled out. They should have won, too. But 2009, and then there was another one. They beat us.
Starting point is 01:36:23 They beat us twice in Foxborough in the playoffs. So there was a lot of, like, I don't know, maybe that's biased. I think it could be a little low. I think it should be closer to 50. I think it's closer to one. I don't know what to say. Is it higher or is it supposed to be lower?
Starting point is 01:36:36 I think this is a good spot for it. Baltimore going into New England is a lot like New England going into San Diego. We just have their fucking number. Don't give a shit. Don't care about the seedings. Good comp. You got to empty the playbook on that one. That's not a good comp.
Starting point is 01:36:54 Because San Diego never beat us. We'd still beat the Ravens. And then the Ravens would beat us. I guess that's true. I was just thinking of having to dig super deep. We played the San Diego Superchargers in an AFC championship with like a depleted team. What was the score?
Starting point is 01:37:12 37 to fucking six? When every person on TV had the charge. They came into Foxborough. Ran it down their throat. And it was cold. Like, they lost before the game even started. It was a january game no they're not the ravens patriots that's no i'm saying i'm saying i'm not saying
Starting point is 01:37:32 that the rivalry is the same i'm saying the fact of a lower ranked team coming into but i guess the big difference is new england is generally hostile where qualcomm was never really a hostile actually qualcomm got hostile did it yeah dude we played there in what 13 that's what sparked the run for us to go win the super bowl that year or 14 when we went out and lost to the packers and we stayed in san diego for a week that played dude chargers fans love chargers like the san diego chargers i know they don't love the la chargers anymore but there was a charm about going to San Diego. Those people
Starting point is 01:38:06 in San Diego, at least, it was a shithole fucking stadium. I mean, the locker room. Yeah. You're shitting with dudes
Starting point is 01:38:13 right next to you. No stall things. Like, it's so weird when you're shitting next to the dude and you're both wiping and one's a lefty
Starting point is 01:38:20 and one's a righty so you have to look at each other while you're shitting. You know how tough that is pregame? I guess it's an intimidation factor. Oh, my God. Fans loved it there.
Starting point is 01:38:35 That's all I got to say. On the toilet talking about parting my reach. Great grass. Love the grass. 69-yard touchdown if my memory serves right. We're big fans. We talked about that, I think, with Gronk, remember? Yep.
Starting point is 01:38:46 We manifested that fucking play. I manifested it for Gronk because I knew it would be a 69-yard touchdown. So I'm like, Gronk, let's hit that 69-yard touchdown. I just so happen got it. All right, 14. The shrug game, 1992 NBA Finals. Game one, Blazers versus Bulls. With Gail Mitchell Mitchell a recent episode
Starting point is 01:39:06 dropped nine spots in the rankings 8.37 overall the name is doing a lot of heavy lifting on this one so and finals and the finals and Jordan I mean that's been mean on everything that was a meme before memes were even big oh yeah
Starting point is 01:39:21 feels right feels right 13 Dan Marino the bush push oh five week six usc versus notre dame oh this one hurts but 8.39 um this feels high it moved up five the name does a lot of a lot of the lifting name does the lifting on this yeah and the stakes they were on a huge winning streak at the time. Star power. Gameplay was good. Yeah. This was a great college football game. Shout out Charlie Weiss.
Starting point is 01:39:49 Yep. Number 12, Tom Brady. 18 and 1. There you go. Isn't that fitting? Oh, boy. Super Bowl 35, 37? Jack, you sunk this, you skunk.
Starting point is 01:40:02 Oh, I hate this game. Patriots versus Giants. Jack gave it a 1 on gameplay That's the biggest Homer score ever You fucking skunk Jack I'm sorry Homer 8.47
Starting point is 01:40:11 Still almost in the top 10 I mean it's Dropped 8 spots This should be higher This should be Closer to 1 Jack So now we know
Starting point is 01:40:20 Where the lack of integrity Has been this whole time Hey that's a Homer score Just right next to the one. I can't even get mad at Giants fans when they say shit to us. No, it's just they did it. And I wasn't even a part of that one. That's what people, oh, 8-2-1.
Starting point is 01:40:33 I was like, I was in fucking college, bro. But you guys did get me when I was in the league, too. Yeah, sure. Go 9-7 and get lucky. I got to say I hate this game as a Patriots fan, but this episode was pretty cathartic and listening to teddy bruski and then also thinking of it from the perspective that had the patriots won this game might not created the second dynasty it might have just shifted what tom
Starting point is 01:40:58 brady was about how much he wanted to do what he wanted to you know so i think that there's some compelling evidence that would you trade this for the second dynasty? Probably not from my perspective. So there's a catharticness to this. He said he would trade it for two Super Bowls, I think. Yeah. Which is kind of there. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:41:14 Number 11. Which honestly. Drew Bledsoe. The sticks. Drew Bledsoe. Number 11. We're almost in the top 10. 2003.
Starting point is 01:41:28 AFC Championship. Col vs. Patriots. High five. High low. And the long one. You know, go back to high low and ha. That was a fun episode. That was a fun episode. Shot o'clock.
Starting point is 01:41:39 Shot o'clock. Jesus. It was 11 o'clock This This dropped nine places Which I think feels right AFC Championship game Game plays whatever Yep But
Starting point is 01:41:51 So we're almost in the top ten Stay tuned Yeah okay Back to the hotline break We are going to talk about A little bit of game recs Here now though Shift to

It was a big lead-up from a dirty hit that was on Chris Draper earlier in the season. And the Wings were just waiting for this moment for a very, very long time. And they got their moment. Then all hell broke loose. And I think it would make a great game with names.
Starting point is 01:44:20 Darren McCarty would probably be the guy to interview. And I'm a huge fan. Love what you guys do with the pod. Keep up the good work and hopefully soon enough, we'll see this Red Wings Avalanche on the pod. Thanks a lot, fellas. Take care. I like that.
Starting point is 01:44:34 Old school hockey, Kyler. What are you doing? Kyler is like, oh, let's do it. No, no, no. There's a little bit of a, there's a bit of a grassroots, not campaign, but this is a sneaky under the radar, people wrecking this game. The Avalanche and the Red Wings of this era were both very good, and it's also like old-school hockey where there's like Darren McCarty,
Starting point is 01:44:51 like toothless. Got to check it out. Yeah. I would love to do it. There's a lot of fights. I'm down. This will be a fun game. I don't necessarily love this as the representation of NHL,
Starting point is 01:44:59 but this is a fun time. These are fun teams, and this is a crazy game. We should do that at some point. Week one, 2009. Patriots versus Bills. This is a fun time. These are fun teams, and this is a crazy game. We should do that at some point. Week one, 2009, Patriots versus Bills. Brady's looking a little shaky. He's got that ACL injury. Is it going to affect him? I remember this.
Starting point is 01:45:13 Affected him for most of the game. Didn't affect him with the last minute 16, where he threw two touchdown passes to Ben Watson. Leotis McKelvin. He's got that game up, and everyone in New England's always buying Leotis McKelvin a drink for his New England is always buying Leotis McKelvin a drink for his return out of the end zone for some damn reason. Jules, love the show.
Starting point is 01:45:30 Jack, Kyler, love it, guys. Keep it up. Hell yeah. That'd be a fun game. That'd be awesome. That's a fun one. We gotta get Scareweather. Random Airweather. He forced that fumble on me. I remember this game because I housed a punt week one in the preseason.
Starting point is 01:45:48 And so week two in the preseason, I get a really bad high ankle sprain. So I'm sitting there like I'm not making the team. You know what I mean? Because you can't make the club in the tub. I was in the tub. And the whole week before cuts, Billy O'Brien's fucking with me like because he knew I was gonna make the team but he he knew that I didn't think I was gonna make the team he's like man cut days like he would just say some shit like that get me all fucking scared and so I make
Starting point is 01:46:18 the team but I didn't dress for this game so I was at home watching the game and that was the first experience I saw of like Tom Brady doing some Tom Brady shit like we were down two touchdowns like a minute to go in the game we you know like it was his first game back from the ACL there were some things you know offense wasn't going great but when it was net cut in time Tom hit Watson on those two bangers down the middle of the field against covered two i was watching on his head like oh my god this is so crazy i'm on this team like fuck it was nuts oh my god we gotta do that that's awesome we do we are getting to a problem where we have a lot of patriots fans and players and we're like having
Starting point is 01:47:03 to like allocate which games are going to who and this kind of stuff. So it's good to have some more like, like more like oral history, fun Patriots games in the, in the mix. All right. Last game rec. Julian,
Starting point is 01:47:15 I want to hear some of the biggest games of your childhood. What were some of the games that left an impression on you? I know you grew up in the Bay Area, probably a Niners fan. I'm a Niners fan. I want to hear what some of the biggest games to you when you were growing up, probably the Niners, NFC Championships of 92, 93, 94. I think those would be awesome games with names contested. So, I don't know.
Starting point is 01:47:48 I'd love to see some Niners games on there. All right. You have a good night. Bye. Definitely got to get some Niners games on. I got a Niner game that just always sticks out, especially in my childhood. It was in the divisional round against the Packers.
Starting point is 01:48:02 Packers Niners used to meet every year in the divisional round, and Brett Favre would send us home. And this was the year Terrell Owens, T.O., goes, and he had a couple drops early in the game, and then it was like the last play of the game. Steve almost stumbles, fucking zings it to fucking down the middle of the field to T.O. T.O. catches it, gets banged twice in the end zone game. Like, that's the one game I remember as a kid.
Starting point is 01:48:30 I was like, oh, shit. Is that the catch two game? No, it was the one where he caught in the middle, down the middle of the field, and we finally beat freaking the Packers. I think we won the Super Bowl. We didn't win the Super Bowl that year. It was a later one. But it was insane. We're definitely going to get some of We didn't win the Super Bowl. That was a later one. But it was insane.
Starting point is 01:48:46 We're definitely going to get some of these. Who was the quarterback? Was it Jeff Garcia? No, it was Steve Young. Okay. Yeah, from that era. We got to get that era. I would love to get Roger Craig.
Starting point is 01:48:55 I would love to get Tom Rathman, Brent Jones. We're going to get Montana here. I'm going to do whatever we can to get Montana. He'll be fun. And I've met him a couple times, and he's just fucking Joe Cool. I mean, my dog was named after him. So, like, we're going to get some Niner games. That's a promise.

Rescoring extravaganza. Oh, baby, here we go. Drum roll, please. Number 10, the wheelchair game, the 2008 NBA Finals.
Starting point is 01:52:23 Game one, Celtics versus Lakers. We had Paul Pierce on. This clocks in at an 8.56. Feels right. Jumps up 18 spots. Jumps up 18 spots. Top 10 game, come on. We're in playoff season.
Starting point is 01:52:40 We're all Celtics homers, so that probably accounts for a little bit of it. I'm not a Celtics homer. All right. I'm a Celtics homer. Yeah, we're everybody else but Kyler, Celtics homers, so that probably accounts for a little bit of it. I'm not a Celtics homer. All right. I'm a Celtics homer. Yeah, we're everybody else but Kyler, Celtics homers. Yeah. It's got a lot of cachet to it. It does.
Starting point is 01:52:52 It's a high-stakes environment. There's a cultural component. It's kind of sports lore. Yes. More so maybe than just pure. There's a lot of backstory of what really happened that everyone's got to take on. So you're right. It lives on in lore.
Starting point is 01:53:07 That adds a lot to the score. Number nine, Immaculate Reception, 1972 AFC Divisional Round. Raiders at Steelers. Terry Bradshaw, this comes in at an 8.56. Dropped one spot.
Starting point is 01:53:22 Gameplay, I hurt this one a little bit. It was low scoring, a little bit ugly, but we all remember the epic last play there. Frank Harris. Yeah, I mean, this play, everyone knows the name of this game.
Starting point is 01:53:34 This is a historic game. Another elevator pitch type game. This could be the game with a name. For sure. Literally. This one, the casual fans know it. RIP, Franco. RIP. And it was a great episode. We had a great episode with Terry. That was awesome. I. It's when the casual fans know it. RIP, Franco. RIP.
Starting point is 01:53:45 And it was a great episode. We had a great episode with Terry. That was awesome. I mean, that was like one of our first 70s guys, you know,
Starting point is 01:53:52 that like, he has these unbelievable stories. Terry's a fucking pro. Pro. I mean, he was the best. Awesome guy.
Starting point is 01:54:01 Awesome episode. Hopefully we can get Terry back. Terry did bust Brady's balls that he hadn't come on my podcast yet hell yeah terry did say man he was really impressed with you know the games with names crew leah everyone like how he came in it was pro bang bang and we did get you know we did get him fried chicken that's did get them fried chicken. That's worth it. Fried chicken. Best fried chicken in the city. That was so good.
Starting point is 01:54:26 What was that fried chicken spot? Honey kettle. It was very good. Hit the comment sections. L.A., what's best fried chicken spot in L.A.? Hell yeah. Don't give me that Roscoe's. That's a lazy answer.
Starting point is 01:54:38 That's a lazy answer. Number eight. Number eight. The Ovechkin game. The Antoine Walker game. Patriots, Rams, Super Bowl 36. This is with Ernie Adams. The greatest show on turf, RIP.
Starting point is 01:54:53 The dynasty is born. An overall score of 8.59. It's moved up two spots. Top ten. Feels top ten worthy. I mean, this is a great game. Yeah. I mean, we shocked the world.
Starting point is 01:55:09 I mean, no one thought they had a shot. Nope. Not a shot in hell. Double-digit underdog coming into this one. Double-digit. That's never been done. Double-digit underdog to win a Super Bowl. Maybe the 18-1, actually.
Starting point is 01:55:20 That was the other one. Oh, were they double? It could have been 10 points. But I think it was 10. You're right. Yeah. Introduced as a team. Brady. The Brady legend is born here. Feels fair. Number 7.
Starting point is 01:55:34 Super Bowl 24. Titans versus... That's not 24. No, not 24. That's 34. 34. Yes. That was with Kurt Warner. The one-yard short game. Yeah, the reach game. That's 34? 34. Yes. That was with Kurt Warner. The one-yard short game. Yeah, the reach game.
Starting point is 01:55:48 That was a fucking electric ending. Yeah. 8.60. That was a good game. That was a great game. That was a great game. I mean, they made that whole story with Kurt, how he came in and took over that team. And that team, we don't even talk about defense defense is
Starting point is 01:56:06 fucking phenomenal london fletcher never missed a play in football love london fletcher and the game even got referenced in castaway so you know it's got to be good if it gets also it's only it's only it's only one hundredth of a point we're cutting hairs now it's only one hundredth of a point between uh the patriots actually all three of these games were within.04 points of each other. We're getting into the nitty-gritty. Number six. The Statue of Liberty game. Wow.
Starting point is 01:56:34 The 2007 Fiesta Bowl. Boise State versus Oklahoma with Jared Zabransky. Up 19 spots. And Adrian Peterson. Up 19 spots. We all realize this was ranked a little bit too low previously. Now, this is our highest college game. We'll see.
Starting point is 01:56:51 I think it should be. It probably will be, thinking about the games we've done. It should be. I mean, this or... Until we do 2005 USC Texas. Which was the same. No, it was 2005 or was it 2007? No, it was 2005. It was 2005, I think. Because the Bush Which was the same. No, it was 2005 or is it 2007? No, it was 2005.
Starting point is 01:57:06 It was 2005, I think. Because the Bush push was that year. Yeah. But it's close. In the same era. Because this also had a really good national championship this bowl season. Was it Oklahoma, Florida? Was this Tim Tebow-y?
Starting point is 01:57:20 This was USC Texas. No. Texas beat them. Yeah. In the Rose Bowl. The same year. This is 2007. This was USC Texas No Texas beat them Yeah In the Rose Bowl The same year This is 2007 Yeah but the game from
Starting point is 01:57:29 Hold on Yeah but then that 07 year was Also The toast I'm telling you This was the same It was on the same card
Starting point is 01:57:39 Of the bowl season Cause it could be one of those Crazy 2006 2007 games Cause I don't think It played in 2007, but it was a 2006 season. The year crap is always... In 2005, the USC won the Natty. And then 2006, they lost, but they played in 2007 because it's...
Starting point is 01:57:59 So this is on the same card. Yeah, but the really good Vince Young game... Is on this card. No, it was 05. It's the 05 season played in 2006 right this is the 06 season played in 2007 this is the next year or is the next so then that game was going to be floor that year so in the 2007 national title it's confusing because it looks like it's also sponsored by tostitos, but it is not the Fiesta Bowl, which was also presented by Tostitos. This was the 2007 Tostitos. BCS National Championship game
Starting point is 01:58:31 in which Florida whooped Ohio State. Yeah. 41-14. And the Broncos were the years the Boise State team was the only undefeated team that year. Either way, good game. Worthy of being there.
Starting point is 01:58:42 That was a great game. Yeah, this is an awesome game. I also think from a stakes perspective perspective this is a game that has stakes that exist beyond like the actual championship right because this is mid-major at the time small school but also a lot of in the other another fashion oklahoma could be sitting there like fuck why aren't we in the natty absolutely so they didn't play their hardest this was pre like guys didn't play in bowl games but we talked about Agent Pearson. He said he wanted to go out and win, you know.
Starting point is 01:59:08 You could also make a case that games like this really start laying the groundwork for what we have now in college football, which is a 12-team playoff. Because, look, here's a bullshit wax school. 12-team playoff between professional teams. That's right. These guys over here. So I love, this is my personal favorite game. I think this is a great place for it. I think, you know, I'm glad it got the 19
Starting point is 01:59:29 spot jump because it deserves to be here. Great game. And now, the moment you've all been waiting for. Top five. Number five on the list of greatest games of all time so far on our hunt is the 1999 Women's World cup china for the united
Starting point is 01:59:47 states played at the rose bowl did a lot for women's soccer did a lot for soccer in america brady chastain all-time sports moment 8.73 total score this literally because this was i was playing soccer in the early 90s our men's soccer team wasn't doing nothing nope these girls were rock stars like and especially playing in china there was a whole wasn't there some shit going on with us in china at that time it was a big there always is there's a big it's us china us russia anytime pro sports are involved it gets it gets above and beyond gets above and beyond and she took her shirt off in the 90s this ain't this ain't whap right now where that shit's all right but it was also it wasn't even about like taking her that was the
Starting point is 02:00:32 celebration that all the guys were doing yes yeah but you know what i mean that's why it sprung board yeah i think you sprung board women's sports in general you know especially with what's going on with Kate and Clark. Absolutely. Like, Kate, we've been unstoppable since then. I mean, I know we lost a couple times. Not choked, but they had a hard last one. That was also political on, like, the team. Like, they probably didn't,
Starting point is 02:00:56 they had to play the older girls. That's how it goes. It also speaks to the growth of women's sports on a whole, that there's more parity. At this time, it was just China, US, back and forth. And Canada was good. Yeah, but, like whole that there's more parody but this time it was just china us back and forth and canada was good yeah but like now is more yeah and that team was stacked i had a sister that played soccer because of that me a ham garcia papara weren't they married yeah no more baby no more my sister was at like 10 at this i wonder what their kids are up to they gotta be athletes gotta be getting to be college age now we gotta look that one up look
Starting point is 02:01:24 that up. Because those are two studs. Oh, my God, yeah. When this women's team played at Gillette, it was a transformative experience for New England girls at this time, too. 100%. My sister was like, oh, my God, me. Ham looked at me.
Starting point is 02:01:36 It was like looking at fucking John Lennon. It was crazy. So this is a great place for this game. And it was a great game, too, even though it was 0-0. American icons, baby. But in soccer, that's... Yeah And it was a great game too, even though it was 0-0. American icons, baby. Yeah, it was back and forth. There's nothing more stakes than penalty kicks in like a World Cup
Starting point is 02:01:51 soccer. Oh my god. Ready for four. Are we ready? 2004 ALCS. Game four. Yankees, Red Sox. The game that started one of the greatest comebacks in postseason baseball history. Wow. Baseball hitting top five.
Starting point is 02:02:08 Big poppy. It's impressive. 8.88 on the total score. I mean, this was a legendary game. It was Boston-New York. Boston-New York. 100-year rivalry and this whole snake-butt thing. The whole Babe Ruth curse.
Starting point is 02:02:23 Curse the Bambino. When he left for the yankees to do this to the yankees also awesome this red sox team was like but the cop this is the cowboy up here all rag tag johnny damon with long hair and a beard versus the shaved yankees the underdogs and then and then not only is it an underdog like just yankees versus red sox actually how the series played out going down out of the three they were just another level of a comeback on top of a comeback that's probably top two top three comebacks of all comebacks yeah yeah yeah no doubt about it i think this is a great place for this one it just needs it does need a good nickname it does but i
Starting point is 02:03:00 think that like it is one of the comments section we need to know what the nickname we need a good name for this game but this game much like the 99 women's world cup is one of the comments section. We need to know what the nickname. We need a good name for this game. But this game, much like the 99 Women's World Cup. That's the only thing that really shut it down. It's just like you just know it and it just impact. It's just there. But everyone does know 2004 ACLS. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:03:15 Dave Roberts. And I wouldn't even ACLS kid. Yeah. So clutch. Number three. We're getting down to it. The Malcolm Butler. Butler.
Starting point is 02:03:24 Seattle versus New England. The Super Bowl. three we're getting down to it the malcolm butler butler seattle versus new england the super bowl we had a call about it earlier in the episode you know it feels right i think up 17 spots by the way yeah it's worth noting at the time when this super bowl was in the books this was the largest comeback in a super bowl and that ending i mean we'll remember this game for the rest of life because of Malcolm's interception. Like, that is a crazy, crazy ending. It really is. I mean, like, unheralded guy at the time to top of the sports world.
Starting point is 02:04:02 It's what makes sports great. It really is. Yeah. Tom getting back, you know, getting back on the train. We went 10 years, that went to Super Bowl. That's just insane. 10 years. That'll never happen again. And I think
Starting point is 02:04:14 sometimes with games like this where there's a specific moment, if you look at the Immaculate Reception, like it was kind of a whatever game until that big iconic play. This game had an iconic play with the Malcolm Butler interception, but also it was a whatever game until that big iconic play. This game had an iconic play with the Malcolm Butler interception. But also, it was a great game back and forth. I mean, it was a back-forth slugfest.
Starting point is 02:04:33 That catch. Good defense. I mean, there was a lot of crazy shit that went down in this game. Great fight at the end. Fight. Bennett and Gronk. I'm going to blow. Maybe some slight New England bias on our end here but i think that this is i think time will look really favorably upon this game even people
Starting point is 02:04:53 it it's i mean it's all time for me so we just we also there could be other games that are better you just haven't done them yet yeah i haven't done them yet great Yeah, haven't done them yet. Great point. Amen. Good caveat with yet. This is also our first game that enters the nine club. This was a 9.08, previously 8.88 on the ALCS game. So we're in the nines. The snowmen. Yep. Three snowmen. Shout out Young Jeezy.
Starting point is 02:05:17 Number two. Number two. We are close to one. We can almost smell it. Number two. 28-3. 28-3. 28-3. Super Bowl 51, Falcons-Patriots.
Starting point is 02:05:30 9.23. Tough to beat that. Biggest comeback in Super Bowl history. What do we think? Up 14 spots. Up 14 spots. I like that part. Jack, you almost gave it a perfect score.
Starting point is 02:05:42 Oh, my God, yeah. Really, really, really close. I mean, against all the odds and for everything to happen for that to happen, I mean, I don't think that'll ever be done like that again. No. Yeah. Gotta believe. Gotta believe.
Starting point is 02:05:57 Gonna be a hell of a story. It was a fucking hell of a story. I mean, look, it's number two on the fucking list. Deservedly so. If I can be on Brandon's be slight poopy pants for a second i will say there's an argument here to me made that gameplay isn't quite as good as it feels and the reason i say that is because it wasn't back and forth per se like let's say the seahawks patriots game. Yeah, but there was driving by the offense and then all of a sudden a mistake or an interception or a fumble, which, you know what I mean?
Starting point is 02:06:32 For sure, and I gave it a 9-8. But the reason I didn't give it a 10 is because it was almost like two blowouts, not quite because there's stakes involved in time, whatever, but it was almost like Falcons time, then Patriots time. See, I gave it a you gave it a eight nine i gave it even more but great game amazing game amazing game and now ladies and gentlemen what's number one the moment we have all been waiting for we are unveiling our new number one from the first 50 games on our quest. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:07:07 The Super Blood Wolf Moon Game. The 2018 AFC Championship Game. Patriots go into Arrowhead and beat the Mahomes Chiefs on their way to a Super Bowl. This is like a passing of the torch game. It sure is. A 9.39. Now, it didn't change position. It did not. The old one is the new one. It sure is. 9.39. Now, it didn't change position. So this is the same.
Starting point is 02:07:28 The old one is the new one. It sure is. But I think you nailed it, Jules, why this game is the number one. It's because it's two dynasties butting each other up. Butting each other up. A better way to put it. Dick to butts, boys. Back to back. It's a passing the torch game.
Starting point is 02:07:44 What movie is that from? Dick to butts, boys. It's got to be Full a passing the torch game. What movie is that from? Dick the Butts, boys. It's got to be Full Metal Jacket or something. Star Power off the charts here. We'll look back. A lot of Hall of Famers here. This is insane. This was a fucking crazy game.
Starting point is 02:07:56 Great gameplay. Legends. The stakes are high. Back and forth. Over time. Changed a rule because of it. That Kyle Shanahan didn't bring over with his team, and I'm a Kyle Shanahan fan.
Starting point is 02:08:08 It also meant a lot. Like, talk about bias. It meant a lot personally for all of us too. 100%. I mean, every play in that third down draft, like, it was hanging on like third downs. High scoring, but great defensive plays. Incredible. Romo was like on fire in the booth. That was peak Romo. Yeah, great defensive plays. Incredible.
Starting point is 02:08:25 Romo was like on fire in the booth. That was peak Romo. Yeah, peak Romo. Peak Romo. Peak Romo. In arrowhead, breath coming out. Laser pointer in Tom's eyes. Great execution.
Starting point is 02:08:35 Laser pointer in the eye. That's great. And I think let's, you know, because it was only, you know, six years ago. But I think that as time goes on and Patrick Mahomes adds to his resume, let's say he gets a few more, whatever. He's starting to get in the conversation of greatest quarterback of all times, not just in performance, but also in, you know, resume now that, because it's Brady versus Mahomes that you don't have Tom playing Joe
Starting point is 02:09:02 Montana, right? You don't have Peyton manning playing joe montana right so you look back and you have tom right now the unquestioned goat maybe we don't know in 10-15 years where patrick here's patrick mahomes career goes that maybe this is kind of like a great against great amen and for pat in his first year as a starter to make it to the afc championship game and push the goat to the brink like that, that's a testament.
