Experience is a real thing, bro. It is. It really is. You know, I say this individually. When people ask, like, you know, hey, what we always talk about, do you remember what we talked about before the Super Bowl when guys got up there and talked? One of the things that struck me in thinking about that exercise was, it does not matter who you are in the playoffs.

You can fuck up and you can play great. Like, we see veterans make mistakes all the time in the playoffs, and we see rookies or inexperienced players look like they've been there a million times. But teams, there is something about being a team in knowing how to win. I mean, that is a cohesive effort. Yeah. And they know how to win. Welcome to the Green Light podcast.

NFL conference reactions. We've got the Eagles and the Chiefs heading to the Super Bowl in New Orleans. They knocked off the commanders and the bills. A couple of great games yesterday. Sequin, Jalen, Patrick, Andy Reid, all asserted themselves, showed why they do what they do. Chris and Bo and Nate talk all the storylines that came out of those games, the calls in the Bill's Chiefs game, the physicality in the Commander's Eagles game. Blast and a half of an episode, enjoy it and we'll see you later this week. All right, welcome back to the show.

If you were with us 10 minutes ago, not really sure what happened. We're trying to figure that out here, but show business. YouTube wasn't playing nice. YouTube wasn't playing nice. Sorry. Anything else? No, sorry. Okay, no, I was just making sure.

Just making sure we got YouTube fucked us. Here's what I'm going to say. I want to see if Reid had any other theories before I tell you what I think. I think the NFL knows what I'm going to say today. And they're trying to shut the stream down. You're being silenced. They know that I have been, quote, unquote, in a football sense. Red-pilled.

Just the football sense here. Yeah. I'm going to come out and say it. Uh-oh. The Chief's got a big fucking call last night. It changed the entire game, dude. Change the entire game. You're really flipping the script from what you're saying last week.

There is nothing wrong with being wrong, you know? I wouldn't know. And boy, do I feel wrong right now. Like, I kind of feel like an idiot. Nothing I have said to this point was dishonest or untrue, objectively. I told you we watched all the penalties assessed against Chief's opponents. yada yada yada and this isn't all the games going to be boiled down to but i know that there's a number of you waiting to hear what did you think about those calls last night well i thought

josh allen got the first down now the game might have changed one way or another after that moment but you know it's no foregone conclusion they're going to go down and score i did think that the the ball that they were tied up with uh down there in the red zone early in the game. They could have gone either way. They reviewed it. They called it a catch on the field. Tye goes to the receiver. People take issue with the ball hitting the ground. It really isn't the ball hitting the ground. It's the ball moving when it hits the ground. I didn't have such an issue with that call, but the other call rigged. Just like that's rigged. The NFL's rigged. Wow. I'm with all you conspiracy theorists.

What's next? Take me to the next one. I'll do the next. Whatever the next conspiracy theory is, just send it to me. I'll take a good whole. hard look like did we go to the moon I'm not sure anymore wow wow well check the tape no I know we went to the moon I feel I feel it in my plums we went to the moon but as far as Josh Allen he got it I thought he got it but I think your love for Josh Allen is what's kind of driving this isn't that funny no matter what I say people are telling me why I think it my not am I not wrong? Is it not me? No, I think me having an absorbent amount of money on the

bills probably had something to do with it, but honestly, is there an objective case to be made for him not crossing that white line? I think you got it. I mean, I'm with you. I think your crush on Josh Allen is why you're saying that. I do kind of have a crush

on him. He's a fucking dog, dude. And I wanted to win that game. Gene thought he got it, too. Gene thought he got it, which I think obviously complicates the whole thing, and this is what sucks is like, I get it. That's what I This is Nate's thing. All the time. When they don't agree, it just irks the fuck out of you.

It's one thing if we all are assuming a call. Chiefs fans are tuning out right now. We're going to give you credit. Don't worry. Like, if we're all collectively unsure of a call and then the game goes by, it's fine. But when you're watching the game and you think a call is wrong and it goes by and then you hear Gene or the independent referee come in and say, yeah, they got that wrong. It just, like, it just boils. It boils my blood.

I just hate doing the job on a day like today. I hate doing it because now you got to go. You got to talk about, you know, the call that you saw objectively or the decision that was made, the disparity between, you know, the. And a lot of you folks in the chat are like, I've been saying this. There were a few calls over this run, like the Osai personal foul that people had a big problem with it. I was like, hey, tough shit. Tell the guy on the other team not to do dumb shit. It kind of comes down to the last drive.

When they're driving, not they needed the help from Milana, but that's a face mask. You know, it's just dumb shit like that. The chiefs let the other team do the dumb thing. So I am in no way discrediting what they've done to this point. But what I am saying is I was pretty damn confident that we'd see the Cleet Blateman crew, which has not been kind to Patrick Mahomes relative to Josh Allen over this season and in general, not put themselves in a spot like this.

And that's what sucks. What I wanted to see the other night, or last night, feels like the other night, was I wanted to see a game finish where we didn't have to talk about this shit because I was on the other side of the argument and now, me just being a real motherfucker

am flipping and saying, hey, maybe I was wrong. That's how we do this thing here. Nothing to this point. Even the Bradbury call. in the Super Bowl, which I thought was tiki-tack, was a judgment call. And officiating the judgment is not perfect.

But when you have a second look at something like that, like a nice, long second look at something like that, that's where my antennae kind of go up a little bit. My drunk ass sitting at the birthday bar, 1200 Passi-unk Avenue. Shout out to the happy birthday bar. Great spot. What a spot.

It was at one point in this game Me and Boer outside You got kicked out because I tried to smoke a dart In the fucking bar Which is crazy because you There was another guy smoking a dart And that's like the kind of bar where you just spark up a dart and no one even bat

Moreover Moreover There was another guy smoking a dart So I get a score not escorted out I'm like yep sorry run out We're outside In the alley And South Philly's amazing

Like is it Gino's right down the way or is it? Yeah, both. They're both right there. They're like within like, you know, you can kind of see one of them. Uh-huh. The streets are so tight. It is a one-of-a-kind place.

I'm not saying there's no other place with tight streets and cheese steaks, but it is like, it's a special kind of place. And that was a really cool moment sitting out there, Bo, with you. Yeah. We were both on the bills watching on my phone. And when Josh threw the touchdown, they beat the corner blitz. I think it was in the end zone and hit Samuel to tie the game up. that answer we were screaming in the street i was screaming in the street there were people honking i

have a video of it right here you have a video of it i'm gonna send it to the genpenter you actually got a video of that yeah me and some total it's such a shitty video there are dudes screaming like two blocks away there's there's horns honking like championship sunday there's nothing like it and the thing that sucks is and i want to give all credit to the chiefs i have to come in here today and i'm not backtracking i don't backtrack what i do is i say hey maybe i was wrong that That's not backtracking. That's just being fucking honest. Yesterday, I do feel like they got one call that mattered.

Now, you take that call away. I thought what we had was two fantastic fucking teams, two fantastic quarterbacks. And I saw a Buffalo defense that once they lost Christian Benford was cooked. You can't run a secondary out like that. With the rap injury, you can't lose anybody else. We felt nervous about Colby. Bishop, we felt nervous about, we're always nervous about DeMarer Hamlin. Always. Okay.

Rasul's a nice player. But the other guy, Elam, when he comes in the game, I mean, he's shrimp fried rice, dude. Like, it was legitimately one of those situations where everybody in the stadium knew, we're going at this guy. And the amount of man coverage that Sean McDermott decided to play, a defense played better in the second half. I thought part of it was they tried to challenge receivers at least a little bit. Like they were playing off in some situations. But how many picks and fucking crossers and stacks and bunches? I mean, this is the thing you talk about championship teams.

Fundamentals. You talk about the chiefs, fundamentals, basic shit that you get to from like different looks. But it's all the same type of shit. And it forces you to play with great eyes and great leverage. And if you don't, if one guy doesn't, they will find you. And that's what happened last night. And I don't want to make it that simple. There were issues like Josh and the bills not having great calls in short yardage.

I mean, I know they reeled off a couple fourth in shorts. But it felt like sometimes they were just like, all right, fuck it, let's just do it again. Two-point conversions where I don't care if you're going to do it or not, just have the right play. And some of those plays, to me, were a little bit limiting. once you saw that they had a big advantage in stopping the tush push, which is going to be interesting in two weeks. It felt like the bills just were out of sync in those situations and the got-a-have-it moments.

And listen, the game comes down to a Kincaid drop. It really does. I think we're going to overtime if he catches that football. And, you know, there's some people on the Internet who I respect, and I'm not naming names because there's more than one. but they are criticizing Josh Allen for not hitting the orbit motion player on that play in Khalil Shakir

who definitely I believe would have been rallied and tackled he put the ball albeit a prayer in Kincaid's hands and he dropped the ball and unfortunately now he's 0 and 4 in the playoffs against Patrick Mahomes and I'll say this as a guy who all years

been banging the drum for the torch possibly the next five years to be passed to Josh Allen it ain't happening yet because that's what happened on the field that drop worse than mark andrews no no no no because the finality of the mark andrews drop and the fact that like i guess you had two sets of downs ultimately to get them off the field people are forgetting about that you know benford's got to get p rind down that's the i love p ron but that's the number one guy that i'm like if he gets a bonus hands maybe we can make a play on him and then you know like obviously

the right edge you know everything from sprint right option to quarterback keeps to something in the flat that was a key area of the field for Kansas City all day and they took advantage of it and Mahomes used his legs and they were vintage chiefs this was a low possession ballgame

yeah that's what they do so I just want to say this respect the hell out of the chiefs fucking they earned it I don't think I don't think the fix is necessarily in No?

But I get. It felt inevitable. I get it. It felt like that call with Buffalo Wild Wings a little bit. Do we really think the NFL and Roger Goodell is going to give up the chance for a 3P and the most popular wedding proposal ever to happen in TV history? Oh, you think that's going to happen in the Super Bowl? Like, yeah, like why not?

How much you want to bet? I don't know. We could do a little five. I'll give you five to one odds. We'll do a little side, bet. Okay. Because I can tell this is going to turn to one. of those things where you're like, this is fact. They're going to get, he's going to propose.

No, I just think it's going to all roll into one thing. They're going to win and it's going to be a perfect, it's going to be a perfect scenario for the NFL. Roger Goodell, all under Roger Goodell is going to have the number one watch clip ever in history of everything if it does happen. And I just feel like the NFL is gearing up for it. I'm not biting that cheese, Nate. I'm not biting that cheese I'm not going all the what I'm doing is and like people are so fucking crazy they're so married to takes they wouldn't do what I'm doing today so excuse me for straining a muscle patting myself on the back for being real about that call which drove me crazy last night let me ask and not just that the compounding effect of god damn the last week I was up here being like they don't like it just they

don't get special treatment the AI meme of mohomes and a ref kissing is crazy that but I'm not going to go full internet guy. I'm not going to go full chat and be like, yeah, it's because there's a proposal or yada, yada, yada. Like, I don't know why it is. You know, like, I'm not sure. And maybe part of the perfect crime

to feed the biggest conspiracy theories among us would be, hey, put Carl Chaffers, or not, don't put Carl Chaffers on the job, put Cleet Blakman on the job, published the statistics about the fact that he has not given the chief's preferential treatment. It'll be the perfect crime. No one will suspect it.

The color conspiracy came true, no? No, it didn't. The logo. Where is Eagles green in the fucking logo? It's green. It's fucking yellow. Can we stop? Just because I'm giving you an inch doesn't mean you should take a mile.

It's green and red. The logo. Pull it up. Pull it up. It's not Eagle's green. You were making a case for being the commanders at one point. Who's the real culprit here though? You were saying, look, when the commanders get in, it's yellow.

Can we talk about this, so, Chris? Is the chain gang a major issue, too? Like, do we know that they have tracking down? That ain't even close to Eagles Green. That's like piss. That's urine. That's my urine this morning. After I took 14 shots of Soko in Lyme.

Bro. Sequin in Lyme. Staquin in Lyme. God. I just, bro, and that's an ugly-ass logo, by the way. I understand you've got to put some of the floor to Lee shit in there. But like, that's just ugly. Listen, the chiefs are incredible.

I thought getting Connor back really helped, Chamari Connor. And, you know, Buffalo losing. Benford was huge. We already talked about that. But, like, there were moments in this game where there was, like, McDuffie on that late screen on third and ten, which set up a dramatic fourth and five.

Or Connor just clipping Josh's ankles at the 40-yard. hard line on that scramble because like these are little things that like obviously aren't the biggest play of the game but they precede the biggest plays of the game and you know I thought that whether it was Chris Jones getting pressure throughout

the night he had like eight pressures in the first half fucking starts dog in the first uh first possession Josh is a little bit frantic he looks like old Josh yeah right like little things like that you know the chiefs just make all the little plays they're so confident

They're so efficient, balanced, confident. I thought Spag's called a great game, too. I mean, we all kind of knew that it was going to come down to the ball, being in Josh Allen's hands in some capacity, because the biggest game, obviously at this season, you want to put it in your best player's hands as many times as possible. So we'll love to see him, you know, convert that first down. Hey, can I stop what you're saying?

Adrian A.D., can you come to the studio and suck my dick? Whoa. Pause It's really sad when y'all are so mad About a black QB dominating Y'all prefer to spew conspiracies Take Away from Mahomes' greatness That's absurd

If you know the history of this show If you've heard some of the rants I've been on If you, if you maybe have tuned in If you're not just trying to get mentioned On the podcast Just keep it to your fucking self, bro That's the dumbest fucking thing I've ever heard Patrick Mahomes is

I've made the case for him Being the greatest quarterback of all time I don't think I've ever said a bad thing about Patrick Mahomes. I think I sat up here 10 minutes last week and apologized for Lamar Jackson not showing up in the playoffs. It's far from what the... If this is what the chat's going to be, if it's going to be this type of dialogue, if it's going to be like conspiracies the whole time and whatever that was, I don't know why I'm doing this.

Seriously. I don't get paid enough to do this shit. So just for a second, fuck you very much, Adrian. next uh i think we were talking about football right yeah okay cool so let's talk about that i don't even know what the fuck who knows i my brain is so smooth the chain gang is oh i want to know about the chain what were your thoughts are in the chain gang because i think the chain it jesus fucking christ the chain gang is antiquated as part of the issue like we know that they have all this tracking in the football in like somewhere in some safe in the league office they know whether or not

that was a first down based on like tracking in the football GPS data you think that this might be an impetus for the for the league to go to some of that shit instead of just the chain gang yeah i think they need to put a chip in the football at some point i was on the other side of that last week i love the chain game uh chain gang i think it's like it's like part of football yeah but after last night since i was personally wrong and that's what it comes down to is like if you're on the other side of one of these games you're really seeing it yeah and then again again game like that you just feel like at some point they have to like at some point we're not even going to be talking about a call like that yeah but at some point it's going to be like hey move the

chains yeah which seems inevitable but right now let's just be honest there were other things in the game the bills could have done to win that game and that and that's the other side that i've been taken for a long time which is that like listen these calls definitely they affect the outcome of the game either way the thing i was saying earlier was the bradberry thing bothered me in the uh in the Super Bowl but not enough because it wasn't a second look deal it was a judgment thing the fact that we actually got a look at that is what bothered me as far as everything else like i can point to 15 things the bills did wrong in this game that the chiefs did not do wrong and that's why they won the game and so like we got to credit the chiefs um we got a credit patrick mohomes looks fresh he looked great

he looks awesome super mobile super mobile seems like he saved the legs up for this stage of the playoffs And honestly, like, even the shots he didn't hit were more on target than the ones that he was taken in the season. Like during the season, I felt like some of the shots were a little bit off, whether it was timing or the player. And last night, I felt like even the near misses were like those near misses that scare you. And worthy has become a guy for them. He's so hard to cover in man. And you talked about how Big Dermon played a lot of man. They do those bunches.

They do those crossers. and it's so hard to stick with him and you've got to work through all that trash as a defender man like they do such a good job from a coaching standpoint of putting their players in the best positions to execute and that's why they're going to play

in their third super bowl in a row. No, what I was kind of saying earlier before your diatribe about Aden in the chat is... Aidan, I don't think that's his name, but we don't need to give him anymore. Whoever it was. Like you expect to see the ball in Josh Allen's hands and critical moments

because he's the best player in the bills. I was so impressed with them The Chiefs using design run game for Mahomes And like he looked fucking athletic He looked good he's always been a good athlete Despite like he's kind of got that weird neat You know what I mean And so I really like the way that he

Kind of used his legs Use his mobility picked up first downs And you know rushing touchdowns Like I thought he just looked fucking poised Comfortable and like a guy who's been there before Because he has you know Like they just seemed so confident I really think that that's what it is.

They just, they know that they have it in them. And this Remigio guy, again, with a big return. Yeah. Yeah. A big return. You know, like, Tob, the special teams coach, he's been there a while. The hell of a coach. I don't know where they find a guy like that, but, you know, he wasn't a guy I was particularly familiar with before the last month of the season.

And he ripped off that big return to start the Houston game. Yep. And then he had a big one in this game in a key spot. And so, you know, like, we could. We could pass the flowers around and we could give the chiefs, the treatment here. But this is just what they do. Low possession games. Make the most of every set of downs you have,

which is what I think the bills should have done at the end of the game where it felt like they got a little frantic. Yes. You know, like that's what the entire second half they came out and they ran the football. And one of the biggest stuff to the game was, you know, I think Wharton kind of knocking them off. Yeah. their their rhythm ran that zone at the outside zone and he just kind of penetrated it and had to turn it back and it was like three or four RTF had a really good year yeah he's had a really good year

yes he's fucking yoke too is he yeah yeah he's a big but like he looks sick yeah yeah yeah well that was a big play i mean that was huge i think spags just gets gets guys dana was was was big for them he played his ass off you know chris jones goes out saying they have omenahoo back you know which they didn't have early in the season. Now you've got a full deck out there in the secondary. But I just want to say this again, if we're doing the legacy thing, I'm just not going to bite on like,

I'm just not going to bite on anything other than Patrick Mahomes is like God and all these other guys are just not quite good enough to beat him. Like it's just Josh Allen's not a choke artist. The bills aren't a terrible team. They made some questionable decisions yesterday, but that team was very good. thing it boils down if the chiefs are

confident they've been there before they have a great vet team with really good coaching and good leadership and they've had home playoff games and they just they know exactly what they're doing they know they're such a great identity no question bro this is the most points they've scored all season i know it's crazy that's the thing it's a slow game before the game i thought

a shootout wouldn't would favor the bills and in some ways it kind of did but in other ways i felt like the chief's passing game since they got hollywood brown back yeah they're back to be an able to just they started you play good too like they yeah they got a lot out of some of their guys but they started the game just freezing backers and and just throwing darts behind behind them and and it was like it was like they they had those guys in a blender from the beginning of the game and then when benfer went down it's just too much so now they're winning shootouts which i think

they might have to yeah playing the eagles because i think the eagles can run the ball out i do too Now, Jalen's got, like, Jalen and Kellan have to be on point, right? Because Spags, you never know what you're going to get with him, but you're going to get some pressure. And you're going to get looks to change. And so, you know, I really believe seeing them win a shootout yesterday, to your point, having not really done it all year, it's just like, oh, they got that too. They just been finding ways they still have that. Think about all these different games that they've won and how good they've been despite having a down year at the time. times you know during the year but they're just fucking winning man because they're built like that

no question no question is there anything else we want to say about that game how about james cook shout out to cook i thought he had a hell of the game he was incredible that hunch down a pile on the pylon was so sick dude like body control ah just barely like this was such a great game too but the bills man like the bills okay you're talking big picture the bills you know if you're a Bill's fan and you want to be like you want to feel good about next year is like think about what people said this year was supposed to be this year was supposed to be a rebuilding year retooling year one of those kind of in between years next year should be better you know now the key is this Josh is going to be 30 years old and about a year and a half he's going to be 29 yeah doesn't

show any signs of slowing down I thought he was spectacular this year again there's nothing like you know how it went and I'm going to be real and I'd hate for this guy to to still be in the check because I'm sure he'll fucking have a theory on this but there's a difference between when we talk about and I'm just going to use Lamar as the example because the playoff performances have not been up to his standard he would tell you that it's not like Josh isn't playing great ball in the playoffs the other guy's just that good yeah and and the other team's that good the one thing I'll say is this if Josh played that fucking defense how How many points you think he would have put up on the, if he played that secondary,

which is why it's a team game. And it's why the Chiefs, not just Patrick Mahomes, deserve a lot of credit because they've been able to maintain, even in a year where I think the defense is a little bit down compared to last year, they've been able to maintain this competitive edge. And, you know, like, they're just good enough. They're always just good enough. Like, you look at this defense, and it's like, we're going to get ready to talk about the Eagles and the Chiefs.

We did this yesterday with the commanders. How many players on the commanders would you pick over Eagles players? Go position by position. It's staggeringly low. I think the Eagles would probably edge out the chiefs. I think the Eagles have one of the best rosters in the NFL. But it's how you get your role players to play. It's how you get your scheme to play together.

It's how you get everybody on the same page. It's how you get people to play in big games. That's what Spag has been doing since he was in New York. Unfortunately, when he was our head coach in St. Louis, we weren't any big games. Yeah. If we were, maybe we would have played better. But, like, that's what he does, bro. And so, like, it ain't just Mahomes.

It ain't just Andy Reed. It's spags. It's the defense. It's having a complimentary football team. Right. They remind me of the Patriots. And that's why they have Patriots-like yields. And spread out now over a course of 2019 to 2024 with a chance to three-peat.

It does not get any rare than that. pro sports dude like in today i am fairly confident that we will not see another team get this close to three beating in our lifetime like it's just a tough thing to imagine you know in today's NFL yeah and things are only getting more you know player mobility you know shorter tension spans for quarterbacks for coaches the leashes are shorter it's just harder to find this kind of continuity and the continuity is impressive in pro football it's the hardest fucking sport to repeat in i don't want to say it's the hardest championship to win because that might be hockey i'm not even being funny like think about how long that postseason is i got to give it to those guys it's pretty amazing to be able to do that i know

for team sports teams teams teams just team sports yeah what do you think the hardest championship to win i was gonna say fucking winning like the because you could you if in the nfl there's a case we made it's hard and easy because like i was going to say golf which is like clarified team sports like the rider cop like to win a i don't know win the pucking the masters or like but yeah no i think it's hard than uh march madness well i that was up there for me i was thinking about that just having to win what seven six games but also like in march madness does that make the k like when a when a worst team can get there, like a lower-seeded team can get there?

What's the worst seed that ever won a national championship in basketball? It's like eight or nine. Eight or nine? I think it was eight Syracuse, 1985, something like that. And I don't know how you compare that to a team. World Cup is a good one. Like, say the Giants who were a wildcard team

snuck in the playoffs and win the damn whole thing. But college basketball doesn't have parity. There's like a few teams at the top that get all the best players. They don't have to like, abide by these salary cap rules like we saw ucla win eight in a row yeah so i mean i probably takes them out of the running i just it's two kind of separate conversations but i think the nchel and like what winning the stanley cup is is such a marathon that physically and emotionally and i can't even imagine the tampa bay lightning almost repeated a couple years ago crazy crazy you know but in football

it really is difficult because you know it's so hard to get in uh it's got to get in uh it's gotten easier since they had an extra wildcard team. But you have to be perfect. Like, if you get 19 possessions in a football game, like total in a football game, in a low possession football game between two of the best teams, the demand for perfection is higher in this sport than so many others.

And so, like, you know, the Chiefs being able to do this a couple times in a row and now be back here again. Just fucking nuts, man. I mean, it speaks to the coaching staff that they have, too. And that's actually one of the mention. I want to give out best seat Brendan Daley you had him right yeah he definitely does

have the best seat his ninth what a seat that right yeah like that's fucking crazy I know that is I don't feel like that's being talked about enough man yeah well we talked about it this is a D-line coach for the the chiefs he was in New England he coached Chris and that defensive line and this is his ninth Super Bowl which is truly like that is wild like there is no there's no beating that ever you know that's crazy well B Daley was my coach for a few years and he's been in some amazing places nineth in the last 11 years because yeah obviously New England and then going to Kansas city right best seat and it's so funny I remember when he got let go in St. Louis

you know it just goes to show you like where you are matters he got let go in St. Louis and we went down to Coors in Clayton and had a beer and just watch, like, kind of thinking, like, what's next for him? And he's like, I don't know, like, I got these options. It was like, I think I'll just go. Let me just go to the greatest franchises in modern football history.

I'm not sure what I'm in here. I think I'll be all right. What a glow up for him. But yeah, they got to, you mentioned Brendan Daley. I mean, staff full of good coaches, man. And yeah, they got a lot of experience. Experience is a real thing, bro. It is.

It really is. You know, I say this individually. when people ask like you know hey what we always talk about you remember what we talked about before the Super Bowl when guys got up there and talked one of the things that

that struck me in thinking about that exercise was it does not matter who you are in the playoffs you can fuck up and you can play great like we see veterans make mistakes all the time in the playoffs and we see rookies or inexperienced players look like they've been there a million times

but teams there is something about being a team and knowing how to win. I mean, that is a cohesive effort. Yeah. And they know how to win, so anyways. Before we get to the next game, a quick message from BetMGM.

They do have defensive player props for the Super Bowl. Yeah. I won a defensive player pop yesterday. They snuck them in for out here. Really? Yeah. What do we get? I had hit, who did I say? It was Bond tackles. You hit it in the first half?

Yep. Dogg. Of course. Yeah, Zach Bond over nine and a half, first half. He had ten. Wow. For ten and the first half. That's crazy. Yep. And he had that big punch out. We're going to talk about them in a second. And then I had Drew Frankel over six. and a half tackles. Hey, before we start talking about the Eagles, Chris, I'd like to say,

former players going back there, they treat us unbelievably. Yeah, like, thank you to everyone the Eagles organization. Chris and I ran. Put on my green glass. So many, yeah, exactly. We ran to so many old teammates, you know, athletic trainers, coaches, people on staff, big Dom, and everyone was so fucking good to us. Like, so, like, we truly appreciate it.

We had a really fucking good time. No, it was awesome. Yeah, like, we feel super undeserving. we'll be down there like after the game hanging out and I'm like what the fuck are we doing here and you know it's funny but Chris says that and then I just do whatever yeah he doesn't that's pretty well

it's a great time maybe Jacksonville to make it this far one day well the whole to go to yeah no but Chris Chris said this to me multiple times yesterday and I want please please tell everyone what you're you were saying to me you know what I'm going to say

yeah and I said it to BG too when we walked out of the stadium last night we were you I gave BG a hug and we were like man this is crazy back again like just being down here and like being together and like you know you see nick on the field we're doing the fight song and like you're kind of like what am i doing here yeah and then you realize just all the things that have to happen right for you to be treated this way i said to beau walking into the locker room as they led us in the locker room after the game to see lane and you know so what's up to howie and geoffrey and which is really cool you should do that

anyways as an organization is welcome your old players back right yeah that's what like a good alma mater does like college the eagles have kind of they feel like a college program to me the way they're running the thing and i think it's great but if julio jones catches that ball they're not treating any of us like this and that's and that is the that is the cruelty of sports yeah that is the that is the that is the coin flip of being an athlete and that is the the coin flip of legacy It's like Tyler Bass hits a field goal. Who knows what happens after that? King King King Cets is a football.

We're using one example. But like, we're going to talk legacies. And there's going to be a class of quarterbacks that Patrick Mahomes is going to be talked about. And that's this big. And Josh probably is not going to be in that conversation unless he goes on some crazy run the back end of his career. And them's the rules, dude. Yeah. It's just however the cookie crumbles is how you're treated.

and how, you know, and that's, those are outcomes, right? But it was funny walking into the game and I'm just, it hit me. I'm like, bro, like, if Lulio catches that ball, we lose in the damn wild card round, or is that divisional round? Divisional round. Divisional round. And we're never heard from again. Yeah.

I don't think we're down on the field. No. I don't think we're getting canolies before the game. I don't think Dom's, I mean, I think Dom's still my homie. And I'd still love to come back to Philly because I love the, the football and the atmosphere and everything, but like, I don't think they treat us that good.

But then we were sitting in a bar with your buddy Sean Cody last night. John Cody. Yeah, dude, he's a man. We played a long time in the NFL. It's a defensive lineman. Has some really good years in Houston. And I was kind of,

I was saying all this to Sean Cody. He's like, yeah, but he didn't. Yeah, he summarized it so easily. He's just like, yeah, he didn't catch the ball. And I'm like, yeah, yeah, you got a fucking point there. Yeah. Chris's mind was blown. Like no one, Chris had brought that point up to like four or five different people during the day.

And, you know, BG's like, ah, that's crazy. Yeah, BG's like, oh, man. But you're right. Sean was just like, yeah, but he didn't catch the ball. He's like, that's how old. He's like, holy shit. He didn't. I said, you're right, bro.

He didn't catch that ball. So it's just funny when you, when you go back a place like that, like how cool they treat you. And like, just getting to, to go in the locker room after the game was awesome. Being out on the field, every time you're down on the field with that team, it reinforces the, the, the, the size of those guys up front. And just like, we can say it going all the way back to training camp, and I've said that different points this year, every team's built different.

You can see it when you go to see them in person. Like I remember seeing Buffalo and being like, they're small. Yeah. You know, or going to Minnesota and thinking they're not real big, like, and going to Eagles camp and being like, my God. And the same thing with the Packers. Lane and Jordan in a tiny RV. If that doesn't make you feel like they're huge,

then I don't know what is. Yeah, the temperature in the RV rides immediately. And the thing sags. Yeah. But, you know, given those guys a dab and a hug on the field before the game, it kind of reinforces like, I remember Washington ran out of the tunnel yesterday. I was staying there. I was like, I think I could stand some of these guys up right now.

Yeah. I'm not saying they don't have some ass kicking dudes. They're not a good football team. But the Eagles are built a little differently in that team. And the Kansas City Chiefs are built big too. Yeah. You know, you think about linebackers like Chanel. You think about a guard like Trey Smith.

You think about Chris Jones. You think about Dana the way he's built. You think they're just a big team. So this matchup will be more like it. But yesterday, the commanders had a few chances in that game to keep it close, which I think they could have done. And I want to like hats off to the commanders for the great season they had. But when you fumble the ball three times in a game like that,

and yes, the Eagles created some of those turnovers, but you also just weren't taking care of the football. You're going to have the outcome that you had yesterday, which is like for an, I don't want to say average team, a solid team with a good quarterback. That's what they ended up looking like yesterday. Yeah. Like just a solid team with a quarterback who's a problem in Jaden Daniels.

And that eventually ran out for them. Yeah. It just ran out. Like they turned the ball over five times in the win against the Eagles this year. You would think they'd come back in and be like, we are going to take care of this football. And that's our only chance to win.

Yeah. Instead, no, you go on an eight-minute drive, start the game. Yeah, 18 plays. 18 plays. Super impressive. Two fourth downs, I think. I know, but here's the least impressive part. Three points.

Third, fourth down. Why on third and ten are you throwing the ball short of the sticks with time to throw if you're not in four-down territory? It feels like there wasn't a plan when they got down. down there low. And maybe the plan was we need to come away with something. Yeah. But I'd have much rather done that than kick the ball off, giving the Eagles good field position

and let Sequin Barkley do what he did the first one. First touch, one touchdown. That's incredible. And the link, the atmosphere when Seekwon took off like that, it was at that point, I was like, oh, fuck, like we got something here. It was awesome. That was also disgusting tackling. Dude.

He's bad. He's bad tackle, but he's also. Just like one of the probably biggest, one of the biggest, one of the. biggest games of your life and it's just like that's how you start the game it's just the tackling was terrible yeah it's just bad it's just bad yeah that's a great play by say quam but it's a it's a that's a normal play that should have been made whether it was gonna be 10th year no it's not a normal play but you do have to get him down you got to get him down you got to both of you guys are saying I think as usual you're saying two different things

and arguing I'm just saying it was bad tackling but let's not forget that this is the best player in the in in the NFL right now he is and it feels like destiny it feels like every time he does something it feels like you're just like this is supposed to happen it's almost like everybody oh he scored the first fucking play how movie script is this and that's the kind of scripted you can't script the player has to do it and you know like coming out checking into that play they checked into it right and they end up motioning uh smitty and then you're and you had Latimore go with him. It turns into a pinpole situation

with A.J. Brown blocking down on Fowler. That's why you don't spin out of a downblock as an edge player, not to get granular, because he knocked Bobby Wagner off and he crossed too soon. Like, when you get a downblock like that and you're the edge player, you have to, and different teams play a different ways. Maybe they give him the ability to spin out, but I don't like that because of what you saw.

because then it's two on two on the edge. And if we've learned anything watching Sequin in this team, like he's the most dangerous guy in the league as far as killing you in one play. Yeah. And he's also the guy that you have to commit the most bodies to stop with this offensive line. So he puts you in a real conundrum.

And you could tell as soon as they were two on two on the edge, that alley feels enormous. Yes. And the tackling was terrible. Tackling was bad. So, I mean, they had a ton of chances. And, you know, Here they are.

But, you know, I want to say this is, this is the thing that we were talking about yesterday after the game when we were down in the locker room. And I said this to, like, Howie, I was like, bro, three times in X amount of years with three different teams, it's not an accident. And if you think about how many real organizations there are,

there are organizations in the NFL, there's 32 of them, but not all of them operate like organizations. A lot of them are just businesses that aren't running great. Like the Eagles, and maybe not first and foremost, there are other programs. Obviously, the Patriots were won. The Chiefs won. San Francisco seemed to have a way of doing things like Pittsburgh has had a way of doing things a long time.

Rams with McVeigh, maybe. Rams with McVeigh, when you get a good coach continuity. But I'll tell you what, the Eagles have done it with two different coaches getting there. Now twice for Nick Siriani. different quarterbacks, multiple different coordinators over the last three years, their draft picks for the first three rounds. I saw this morning. Mitchell, DeGine, Hunt, Carter, Smith, Steen, Sidney Brown, Davis, Juergens, Dean, Smith, Dickerson, Milton Williams. Now, there have been some guys in there that you might wish you could have shuffled around in order and that sort

of thing. I think a lot of people are probably a little bit like, hey, Jordan Davis, we don't see the production. He played good. But he plays well and he plays his role. And you drafted a run stopper in the first round. That's the one. Now, all those guys are contributing, man. You look at other teams and what they do in the first three rounds of drafts.

Yeah. There's a lot of misses. And yeah, they've had their misses like in the past and we don't need to go back down that road. But this is a program that they built. And you talk about the guys they're bringing in. Barkley, Bonn, Mitchell DeGine, all new guys, all AP awards finalists, as well as Vic Fangio. Yeah.

So it's like, and who's punching the ball out in the biggest moment? Shipley. Yeah. On special teams and Zach Bonn. And I forget who forced the third one. But by the third one, you're just like, hey, this game's over. Yeah. Right.

So. No, the talent on the roster is incredible. And we had this conversation briefly, Chris, is like, you know, we were a couple Soco Limes deep looking at each other, be like, is this team more talented than our team when we won the Super Bowl? And I think the general consensus was, yes, this is a more talented football team. I think there's certain position groups in certain areas where we are maybe deeper, but I think they're overall more talented. Did you guys happen to see the Gary Owens tweet? I don't even honestly know who that is.

He's a comedian? Yeah, white comedian? Yeah, I think I know he is, actually. He says, so the Eagles have a white cornerback, a white safety, and a white rubber. running back never thought i would see today look at god the eagles have a white quarterback corner oh i think he's a quarterback i was like really i was like in the 2025 racial draft we're taking jalen hurt who by the way is a fucking winner man like that that's really what it comes down to like this was one of the biggest games of his career like period that team's not

as good as you if you lose that game there's going to be people like me saying hey maybe you're not the guy like and that sucks that's the reality in the NFL it happened to the guy before him heavy as the head that wears the crown I thought he looked awesome yesterday and like just patient bro that deep all the AJ on that fourth and five first I love that call for I did not love that call I love that that is I was up in the damn seats like that is arms over bagged him finally take it yeah there all day you know Lattimore is he 100% but yeah finally took it and cashed in there great ball he was all right ball he was all Awesome.

Out of the numbers. Really good. Outside of the numbers, 13 to 17, 189, a Tud, 131.7 rating. He's great. No, but earlier, Chris, you mentioned, you know, how this is an organization, and they've built a really good roster. The depth on this team is fucking good. Burks had a fucking, he's my STL Memorial winner, stepping in for Nacobi being injured. We had the stats of him in the playoffs.

He had nine tackles in a sack yesterday, and the playoffs, he has 20 tackles, 11 stops, two force fumbles in a sack. And this is a guy that no one, that was not getting significant burn until, you know, injury forced him into playing a lot more and he's playing great. But you know what else about that? That's great.

It's just that I'm a guy, I'm not going to lie that. I didn't know a lot about Burks, but he made me look more into him because he started that game off on special teams, laying the fucking boom and jarring the ball loose in that game. And just like you said, as a guy, if you're on special teams, and you can find a way to make plays when someone gets hurt,

like you're going to be the first person that the team is going to be thinking about if you're already standing out somewhere else. So for him to get his shot and next man up mentality, step in and play the way you are, that's always a good thing. And again, I'm just looking through my notes like it's 20 to 12, I think. And the McNichols fumble happened. and the Strait

late hit happened it's just like that was third and ten the commander's just like and if you're eulogizing this team like they were a great story and they were dangerous and the quarterback I think is really good he's good right like I'm not coming off

that take until he plays like shit all right he's just a fucking he's cool you know and it's funny I know fans love to argue and like people that don't want to buy the hype and they want to say, hey, look what happened to CJ Stroud this year.

And it may happen to him next year, but part of what we do is project. We're making projections. This season didn't happen in a vacuum. We realize the context of what he's playing with and who he is. He's a rookie. And so the way he's playing makes us forecast that he's going to be really fucking good. But how many people in football when we walk around and talk to people are like, yeah, this kid is the truth. It ain't like it's everybody you talk to

Everybody so if you're one of those people that's like Hey pump your brakes it's just like any other rookie What are we gonna say? Bo Nix is top five now no offense read I mean it like that but what I'm saying is what I'm not gonna pump my breaks on this kid he's gonna be good This team was not a great team no they were a dangerous team But I'll tell you what you look back at them throughout the season We said this who you become in the playoffs is kind of who you weren't

to begin with. Yeah. And a lot of it is not about the strength of your team is about the weaknesses. Right. And so weaknesses, what were the weaknesses? Well, they had trouble fitting up inside zone. All season. You know, that continued to be a problem, like stopping the run for them.

You know, they were not going to have a chance to cover down on all those guys. That was obvious yesterday. The penalties were huge. Right. And the mishaps were huge. There were games we watched with this team where I just felt like they were in first and 20, like, you know, the entire game, down the stretch of the season. when they're supposed to be peaking.

So they played sloppy at different points, and you can't play sloppy in the NFC championship against a better team like that. It's just you kind of, you are who we thought you were. We just didn't know you had such a damn good quarterback. Yeah. You know what I mean? I think Cliff has done a really good job calling

and putting him in good positions, good positions too. Like, I love their tempo stuff. They're doing like a lot of really good, really good perimeter screen stuff that actually Quignan and Cooper did such a good job of like kind of nipping that. and the bud. Yeah.

Huge part of their, it's, to me, it's more of like their perimeter run game, you know, like how they get the ball

out on the edge of a defense, like Vicks, just throw it out there in these quick screens and stuff. And I think there were two or three times where Quinyan and Cooper were kind of moved around immediately. Yeah.

That's great because that's a very comfortable thing for that offense to use to kind of get into a rhythm. But, you know, going back to the Eagles, like the biggest strength their team for me has been their office. offensive line. Talk to Stout before the game. I love Stout. I think he's one of the best

coach of the NFL, but I got to give some love to Landon and Cam. Those are some tough Yeah, STL Memorial. STL Memorial for sure, because they like, they were playing physical, they were playing hard, they're injured, fucking grinding it out, you know, Landon played a whole half of football on, you know, and he was not healthy, you know what I mean? And then Cam comes in and the second half and fucking just grinded it out, man. So, like, that's the kind of thing where, like, you have guys like that in your locker

in that are doing that kind of shit, like, you're going to be a successful team. Mm-hmm. You know, like, that's the kind of shit that does along a lot for, you know, bring your team together. And, I mean, obviously, like, it's an NSC championship,

the biggest game of the year. But, like, these dudes are fucking beasts, man. I'm very impressed with them. Playing hurt in the NFL is, it's an opportunity. It really is. It's an opportunity to, to handle some adversity and honestly like you can come out a lot better off in your teammate's eyes

in that situation you just can't be a total liability yeah and fuck the game up and i thought those guys what you could tell they were definitely hampered yeah it wasn't the kind of game where you were like oh they could ruin the game cam had a great block on that i think it was a safety on jalen's touchdown run that like he did that yeah got a piece of him look like kel's up there man he looked really good it's like this is a guy who's been banged up who wasn't who didn't start the game who came in you know an unfortunate injury situation he's playing his fucking ass off gritty and tough makes a key block to spring j-lund on that touchdowns like you gotta love it man but it's just you could tell they're both really banged up like especially land and when landin's knee was starting

to shut down on him whatever was going on and we'll find out more yeah but like you you could tell that's gonna be so in two weeks if they're in that kind of shape then it is a worry because of that game just too early and who you're playing yeah but like with chris jones and that interior coming in town and also like it was like Dan Quinn immediately when you had a different center in there remember they they blitz luvoo yep uh you know the fring no and i were talking about that they blitz that's one thing i thought was going to be really interesting especially at this super bowl match uh we all know spags loves blitzing uh i think they blitz like 55 percent of the time yeah 57 percent of time compared to what 35 it's like 30 yeah 35 36 uh from weeks one to 37

Yeah, 37% up until this week, and then against the Eagles, they blitzed 57% of the time. And Jalen was dishing the ball, man. He was. So, like, yeah, they had some issues. Like, Louvre timed up one of those. Blitz is really well. Amazingly. Try to go back to that, and it didn't really work.

That's hard count, yeah. But, I mean, the Eagles are going to see a lot of blitz from Spags and from that defense from the Chiefs in the Super Bowl, so it's really reassuring to see how well they handled that offensively, even with, you know, Landon, playing center banged up. Juergens banged up. I think that's a good sign for me. And like, dude, let's talk about that TushPers series. I've never fucking seen that in my life.

That was absolutely love. It was just like, hey, we know you're going to score and we're just going to be pains of the end. I love it. I love that. Probably unfair. Because realistically, like, I like what Siriani did and the Eagles for them just to be like, we're just going to keep running it.

Like, if you keep jumping off sides, we're going to keep running it. it because I think ultimately they probably assume that hey at some point maybe they'll try to run something else and we can like we can maybe force a fumble or them to do something which realistically it almost happened like he did bobble the ball on one of those but the fact that the commanders tried it and when you get in that situation the ball can only move so far up you get it off sides it's just it's kind of in the defense favor to try to But no one knew that after so many times of you doing that, that someone could be awarded a score.

I didn't know that was a thing. Like, I did not know that. Certainly in the state of affairs yesterday, I didn't. I had no idea. I was screaming at the TV because all I was worried about and probably a lot of people worry about, if they just decide to award a score, where the fuck does that go? For my betting slip, for anything? Like, whose touchdown is it?

Does it go to the last person? It's just like a bad, like, is it like the last person on the bench? I don't know. It's the points or, I don't know. But I think that would have been interesting if they did have to do that. And just to see the trickle down of people and Vegas. I wonder how vaguely, it probably is to their favor. But I just wonder how that would have worked out.

Aiden at a great point. You need that refs anytime T. Right. Exactly. Anytime rough TD. I got to pop off here, Chris. I just want to say, what a fun little day we had yesterday. Yeah, it was a tremendous day.

We're paying for it. I feel dumb as fucked. Oh, my brain is like. I'm trying to make these points about football. And I'm like, oh, God. Oh, God. But that was a really good time, man. It's fun to pretend that you're still on the team.

Head to the airport, man. Yeah. Get home. Everyone in the chat. Stay golden. We're pretty close to wrapping this thing up anyways. Just not a lot of games talk about Championship Sunday One of the beautiful things about it

I gotta mention you do yep And I'm going to worse And I'll keep the chat on as long as you guys have things to talk about Worst seat I'm giving it to Dan Snyder Oh Giving it to Dan Snyder And just the thought of him

Sitting this year Maybe I don't even know Like what his feeling was having to sell a team Like the way he had to sell it but to sit through this entire season and maybe think, hey, forget that franchise, they're going to be trash, and watch them make it this far. And then just on the business-wise,

whether you could have probably, if you waited one more year, just the evaluation of the team today versus whatever he sold it, like he's probably sitting there. And then there's a story coming out saying that he's hated the success of the commander. Of course he hates the success of the commanders. So it's just on top of it, even though their season's over, I just couldn't imagine him sitting. And, I mean, close second, obviously, is always going to be Mara in that whole clip. And Hard Knocks, man.

I just feel like I would never, ever want to do Hard Knocks if I was any organization. Like at all. No. At all. It feels like it's a curse and it's a self-fulfilling prophecy. Because it's like, that was like literally two and a half seconds. two and a half seconds of recorded audio that is going to haunt him that they're doing memes

it's like it's never going to leave why would you ever now I know that like you don't have a choice yeah the NFL just enacts it but like ugh yeah I hate it I hate it for your team like I hate it for yeah it's just terrible is just so bad um yeah no Dan Snyder come on like

let me ask you a question if you could have all Dan Snyder's money but you have to be Dan Snyder would you want to be Dan Snyder? No, sir. Actually, I don't know. How much money did you have? Yeah, let me back that up.

He's old. We're a lot younger than him. Life is valuable. On a more serious note, let me ask you this question. Would you want to be Dan Snyder? No. How old is he?

He's in a 60s, I think. He's 60s. Matt would take his money and he would be playing poker, like, just nonstop, I think. Four and a half billion worth. You did that pretty good, where he told you what you were thinking, and you just kind of ignored him? Yeah, we spend a lot of time together. Is there four and a half Billy?

Let's talk about faux moo. The Fear of Missing Dairy. It's real. The Butter King has certainly had it. I love dairy.

So moving on. You know, my family and I, we like to go out west and travel in the summer sometimes, and we've gone to Montana for long stretches. And when we go out there, you know, it can be expensive to travel. You've got three kids. You're lugging them across the country. The plane tickets add up. when you're gone you know you can be double dipping you can be enjoying your vacation and making

money at home passive income my favorite kind of income your house might be worth more than you think it is with air bnb find out more at airbb dot com slash host the nerd it's just some of the shit we're talking about well average are going on oh man i just want to say this saw an accusation that was high in the chat my eyes are just really red because i've slept like four hours um and i have a rule today that I'm drinking every water I see if I see a water I drink it I was taking waters from all over that it's all in my way out huh so water boys oh yeah water boys shout to the water boys so yeah what do you guys want to talk about finish the show Spencer in the chat asked a great question if Philly wins the Super Bowl does

Saquan go down on the Mount Rushmore of Philly athletes with Dr. J AI Rocky Sequin. Bro, I don't speak for Philadelphia. And I'm not going to get into this. Listen, I'm from Philly. Rocky's not a real athlete. That's exactly why I...

Is that why you brought that up? Because he said Devin Haney and Rocky and Sylvester Stallone were going on. And I love Slash Sloan. Like everybody else, I love his movies. Cliffhanger? Cliffhanger is an amazing movie. Exactly. Cockland.

He's amazing. Isn't he in that? that one too. Absolutely. Okay, first blood, the whole thing. It ain't just Rocky, as you know. And maybe the, but he's not a real, he's a movie boxer. And that should probably, it should probably go, that, that is go and show you how great

of an actor he is. So he could just stay in that category, but like for him to really be giving like points of boxing, like he's a real, like he was a real, like championship boxer. Yeah. That, that's kind of absurd. I just want to see. Yeah. Can you imagine if like Gary Bertier's actor was like at my practice and like, hey man,

you decide you set the edge. You can't even fucking walk, man. What are you doing here? You know? Oh, man. Not him, the actor. But people feel strongly about, like Rocky, like Rocky's in there. Yeah, because they got the statue and the commanders.

When will people ever realize? The movies are the best. Stop putting your shit on the statue. It just doesn't go well. And I don't even think the players care. I just think it like it awakens something in the crowd, you know? But yeah, I don't know who would be, like I don't speak for Philly, but I think Sequin Barclay would have as much to do with, when you think about it, how many Super Bowls

can you point to a position player like this being the driving force, especially when he's a new guy? Like how many NFL free agents have ever? like Randy Moss changed the game in New England but they didn't get a ring out of it eventually Reggie wait but not the first year I don't know somebody in the chat probably has an answer for that like in my brain's not firing on all cylinders it's not usually but definitely not today I think a big factor is how the game itself plays out like Foles and Doug have that statue yeah it's honoring a an iconic moment moment like that the uh the Philly special moment you know sick one's been incredible and obviously a major, major reason.

Somebody said Rocky is a loser. Well, he did lose. How was Rocky a loser? He loses in the first movie. Well, I know, but he's not a loser. He's not a loser. He lost. Well, you got to get back up.

That's what winners do. It's not how many times you get hit. It's if you keep on hitting them. That's what he said to his son and Rocky six. It's still real to me, damn it. I got something for you. Do you remember Rocky Six or whatever it was, five? Rocky Balboa is six.

Yeah, but Rocky Five is with his kid. Yeah. Tommy Gunn. Let me. That was a fucked up movie. But I really enjoyed it. Rocky Four was on Christmas. I watched.

I got so fired up. I just went right out for a workout. Yeah. And it's like the blood flown. So fair. Can we get another Rocky movie? Fair or foul, the Empire State Building changing its color to green.

Like a new- Why did they do that? Why did they do that? Like would any building? Were they hacked? If the giants ever, were they hacked? Made it as far.

Do you think they would ever like that? I couldn't believe that. colors. I couldn't believe that. That was crazy. It had to be somebody who just had access to the button. But not with the tweet. It has a tweet. I don't believe the person who has access to the button is also running the social media account. It has to be a calculated thing together. I got a question. I got a question. I don't mean it. Christopher Columbus, not Italian. No, he's Italian. He's Italian. He's not Spanish, right? The Spanish Empire funded his... He was funded by Spain.

He's from Italy. Because they got a statue of him down there, right? And everybody thinks him as Spanish, but he's Italian. But the people that are into the statue know he's Italian. It's the same thing with Rocky. Everybody thinks he's a boxer. He's not really a boxer. He's a fictional character.

You know what I mean? It's just the statues are a little... Sylvester Stallone, even Italian? Gotta be. He's got to... Come on. Stallone, I don't know. No, I mean, no.

What do you mean? It doesn't have to be... Salon's definitely Italian. Yeah. At least partially, right? What other statues are there in Philly? Are they all interesting? Well, there's the giant Dr. J. mural, which is really cool.

We've seen that. Well, yeah, and that's cool. You got a mural. It's a little mural. It's not the size it should be. Sylvester Stallone's father was an Italian immigrant. Okay. There you go.

His middle name is Gardensio. Exactly, dude. Joan of Arc statue. They give a way. Monument Felton. Robert Morris statue. But yeah, like Columbus didn't discover America. Leif Erickson did.

Yet statue. Rocky, not a real boxer yet statue. I've heard these critiques of Philly statues. I think a Sequin statue would be the cleanest, most like, hey, this is a fucking, like, that statue, nobody would be able to argue with it. It's going to be this, right, too. No one would be able to post it. poke holes in that statue.

The Eagles won the damn championship. Model human being, model professional. What are you saying about Christopher Columbus? I was speaking to the T-shirt. For the record, I don't know the guy. You must love the Sopranos episode about Columbus. Oh, my God. Yes, that's the best one.

Anti-Italian American discrimination. It's hilarious. Hey, did you know they said Trevor Lawrence looks like Furio and Carmela? Carmelah, baby. Carmela, if they had a kid. Yeah. If you watch the show, you would be like, you would really say that. No, but it's brilliant.

Surprise you haven't seen that meme. Yo, Chris. What? I found a new ex-handle. Yeah. And it's sopranos frame by frame. And literally it's every single frame of the soprano's. from the start to the finish.

What is wrong with you? He started it? Or used. Like, think about how cool that is. Is it? Yeah, it's dope. How long is that thread? He still has, he's on day like 200 or something and there's like 300 maybe days to go.

But like as a fan of the show, like, it's anticipation. I suppose that's cool. But I say think about, I don't know what's your favorite. What's your favorite series? You even have a favorite series? Yeah, I would say the wire is up there. Breaking Bad was awesome, but I didn't like the way Breaking Bad ended. Okay.

Nor did I like the last season of The Wire, you know? Did you know that, Randy? Can you imagine if Twitter was around when McNulty was running around under that fucking bridge doing God knows what? Or, you know what I mean? The way we were like, DeNaris Targaryen has totally lost it. Huh? Remember Met the Man's character in the Wire? Which man?

Method Man. Method Man. Yeah, I do. Yeah, cheese. Guess what? The main character, the kid, Randy, that they end up calling a snitch who was doing candy. That's his son.

No way. How crazy is that? That's crazy. We didn't have Twitter and stuff back then during the wire to learn that type of stuff. Well, the thing I love about the wire is there's a lot of, like, real actors in the movie. Yeah. You know? Snoop.

Yeah, Snoop for one. Snoop's been on a bunch of shit since, like, just popping up doing little appearances and stuff. But also, the greatest thing about Snoop she's the epitome of, like, Baltimore. She's awesome. from Baltimore. That shows incredible. I mean, season one of True Detective is up there for me.

Okay. So imagine if someone had an account, like, even though it sounds cheesy, but if you love a series, frame by frame, even though it's crazy for the person who's doing it, like more power to him. Shout out to somebody in the chat for the first time today. S. Logger 57, Better Call Saul was better than breaking bad. Actually, not the worst take in the world.

I mean, Better Call Saul is an incredible. incredible show but it gives me anxiety because i'm dealing with an insurance company right now yeah and just being on the phone and just feeling like everything's a scam or the way like these things happen and you're dealing with a lot of kind of low budget better calls so a lawyer yeah or injury um injury suits and claims and all that so it's it's it's very it's very annoying right well let the chat If you got any more, like, we'll bullshit with you here for a second because there's only two games. I know you like to say, I got to go watch the show. It's going to be like a two-hour show.

We're not going to do two hours. But, you know, if there's any other questions, we'll just bull-hires. Have you looked at early lines yet? Early lines. I think the chiefs are favored by what, one and a half? That's right. And the total was 49.5? It started at 48.

And I got three touchdowns. Yeah. And I think that's the way it should be available in bets. As prop bets. Better get it why you can. What do we want to do in New Orleans? Like, what are you really excited about doing? Me?

Yeah. Probably eating. Probably eating. Yeah. The food. I was talking about a great restaurant last night. How about you? You got a restaurant?

I know a fancy-pancy restaurant we could go to. I don't know how great it is, but I think it'll be, like, cool. Like, uh, the dude vibes go to a nice, like, kind of like, boar's head style. Yeah. It's called. I'd like to go back to Larry Flint's hustler and find my friend's wallet. I think they took it. Yeah.

Yeah, I do. This is like 15 years ago. I'm still there. The scene of the crime. What are you excited about doing? Going to see Stapledon Friday night. Hell yeah. There's supposedly Chris Stapleton's doing a show.

I can't wait to see that. Co-headlining with Jelly Roll. Can't wait to see Stanford Steve. Oh, Jelly Roll. That's your man. I know Jelly Roll. Yeah, you met. Me and Jelly Roll, you go back.

Yeah, I know. I was backstage with Jelly Roll. I'm not even going to lie. You remember that day? You walked by Shibuzi and he gave you a head nod? Yeah, but we was walking with Jelly Roll. I thought we all was going to get to go to the back. And we're following behind Chris.

And then Chris was like, yo, like, I'm the only one that could go back here right now. And then like, me and we turned around. We were like, all right. But y'all still ended up in a dope setup with the soundboard. But it was one of those things where who am I going to be like, hey, I'm going with my friend's jelly roll. no definitely understood and i got to see jelly roll jelly roll did like a prayer with all the people back there he like runs the show like he is truly like he's a leader back there like and he has so many

musicians and uh you know like he this is pretty fucking cool we're standing in the in the in the guts of jpj which is john paul jones arena i don't want to say annals i i don't want to say annals i I just is a minefield with you. It could be anything. And then he goes, he goes, check this shit out. I got Morgan Freeman doing my intro. And then you heard Morgan Freeman's voice coming on.

And he goes, now watch this. And like fire and the thing opens up and he runs out. And it's like people are going nuts. He just had it. You know, like when you meet people that are like, they have that it. Like they're definitely like they were born to be famous. He was born to be famous.

you know me you not so much you more than me no i don't have the famous gene i just don't you definitely do i do not have the famous gene you definitely do nothing makes me up more uncomfortable than doing this show i couldn't do any more iterations of it at any higher stakes seriously i hope it it stays just the way it is cap huh about to go it's a sorry to tell you it's about to go through the roof once the Eagles win the Super Bowl buckle up well I just you know it's like the more people we the more popular

we are the more the more LCD conversations in the chat somebody earlier spelled fork F-O-R-C-K here's a question what the fuck what are we doing here's a question from the chat along

the lines of fame what actor are is playing you in your own biopic, biopic. Biopic. Is the one that's miserable? I'll take Steve Bouchemy for myself, as Chris said one time in the past.

Yeah, dude. Young Steve Bouchemey, though. I'll take it. Young Steve Bouchemey got ass. Yeah, he's a fireman. Yeah. There's an actor I don't want to say, but I just don't want to say it because of...

Add yourself. The movie he was in in the one scene. and but what movie what movie what movie who I was going to say Vin rings

because of Pulpiction like step aside butch I don't know man maybe the the dopey guy from forgetting

Sarah Marshall or something or you know who I'm talking about Jason Siegel or something like that you know just guy can't get out of his own way you know or Curtis Jackson he can play me in a bial pin yeah 50 cent I think so that's a good question he's got Matt eber flus on the I was wondering what you thought about like it's not official official but like

iber flus to Dallas Sala to the 49ers is that is eberflus to Dallas sounds like it's is the thing he's a leading unit really and then um also the Saints old coach went to I think Iber flu is a good decorinator, man. I think one of the biggest things you can do is like when a good coordinator has a disgrace head coaching, and I don't want to say disgrace, because there's a million coaches that have had worse runs than him in Chicago. But it wasn't great. We kind of devalue him, and it's like, why do we have to give him space? Like, to me, Iberfleu's getting fired.

He should be one of the hottest names to be a de-coordinator. But it's like something happened over the last couple years because he can't be a head coach of the Bears. Like get in line. I mean, just look at how successful Spags has been in Kansas City after a head coach and tenure that did not go great. Also, Spags was in New Orleans when they damn near set the record for like the worst defense in a league. And, you know, that should drive home as much anything that it takes everything. It takes a team. It takes a coach.

Again, Brendan Daley, legendary D-line coach now. he's been in a million of these he was once a St. Louis Rams DeLine coach yeah did he forget to tell us the stuff that he's been telling the other players it's just a fucking team game man

it's team game man men and women in the chat another question from the chat what are your thoughts on dual fandom this person Casey Miller was a Colts fan is a Colts fan so most years I'm fucked

but I'm an Eagles fan to boost my serotonin. Am I a traitor to the Colts? No. It's good to have a side piece. It's good to have a side team. I think it depends on the origin story as well. It depends on the origin story as well. I don't think you can just ban wagon hop,

but if you got a whole thing where it's like, oh, like, you know, this side of my family is this fan, you know, fans of this team, and then the other side, I think you can. I think it's an AFC, NFC. Guys, you shouldn't have to be. You can do whatever you want. It's a free country.

You can cheer for winners. It's nothing wrong with cheering for winners. There's nothing wrong with it. Like, some people don't like it. You can do whatever you want with some guardrails. You can't switch your favorite team. Your side team always has to be your side team. Right.

You can switch your favorite team, I guess. And like, hey, listen, the world isn't loyal to you. Why are you loyal to the world? Like, those organizations don't give a shit about you. They do. But, like, so who cares? Like, who am I to be like, if I was a Browns fan, like, hey, Browns fans, you should all be allowed to change teams. You should all be allowed to change teams.

Something like that. Yeah, yeah. Like an organization like that, there's no point in you spending your money. Like, it's, it's, your loyalty is costing your family. You know what I mean? Like, you're just wasting money watching these games, going to the games, buying direct TV. Well, it was direct TV. Now YouTube TV to watch your games and all this shit.

You know what I mean? It really is. like there's a case to be made that some of these fan bases should be able to switch teams. Who would you grant the power to switch teams in the NFL? Cowboys. No. Like, why not? Because chances are...

I would say the commies before this year. I just think they have it coming to them. You know, you got to bide your time. If you're a Cowboys fan over 50, no chance. If you're like a kid and you're a Cowboys fan, you can probably change team. you could probably change them. I'd say commanders before this year because their future looks so bright.

But imagine if you hop off the man wagon you can't come back on it. You can't come back? No. What? You can circle back on an X? I don't know if you can circle back. Hey, Big Head.

Yeah. See what happens? You got to send that text out. I don't know if you can circle back. Listen, I'm as loyal as... Juju Smith. He's circle back? He left?

Yeah, but he's a player. There's no fan-free agency. I think there should be some guidelines. Like, if you leave your team, or if you want to stop being a fan of your team, you have to draw from a hat. Or something like that. It's like a lottery situation. Like when you play Madden three. And there's more bad teams in the hat than good teams.

Like Madden, three random choices? Three random choices. You pick your favorite. And then out of the three pick your favorite. Not getting off that easy. No. So you got any more? We, uh, I got about five more minutes.

Uh, well, let's do a quick bet MGM rip and then we'll see if there's... Let's do it. Thanks to, thanks to bet MGM and all you football fans, I want you to picture something. You bet your favorite touchdown, you bet your favorite player as first touchdown score, but he throws a block to send a teammate into the end zone and you lost your bet right. Wrong. With bet MGM second chance promotion, you'll get your stake back if your first touchdown score, score second.

Bet on any pro football player to score. the first touchdown of the game. If you're right, you win. If your player's score second, you get your stake back in cash.

But he scored the second touchdown. That's incredible. So I was able to get my bet back and I put it on Matt Collins anytime touchdown. Bang. Smack Hollins. Dude, any time he makes a play, whether it's catching a tug throwing a block, under my breath, I mutter. Fuck them kids.

Fuck them kids. It's the best quote ever. Dude, he was an electric interview. We got to have Mon again. Obviously, Mac and I go way back. he was a rookie, but talk about a guy you want to give some flowers to. He has grown into being, and part of it was out of necessity in Buffalo this year. Yeah.

But like a really dependable position player, not just special teams. Absolutely. You know, had his moments in Oakland or Vegas. Yep. You know, he's kind of showed up and played a role wherever he's been. Right. And honestly, I thought he was one of the biggest dogs on that team this year. Like whenever I watched the bills play, you know, every side of the ball,

on a team has to have a couple guys who are like tone setters. They don't necessarily have to be your best players. He was one of their tone setters. So Mac had a great year. Yeah. You know. Kicked my ass at chess. He did kick your ass in chess.

Maybe we'll see him in, uh, maybe he'll be down in New Orleans working or something, making some money and we can get an in-person game. Aren't you playing in a tournament? Yeah. Chess.com has some, like, uh, NFL players playing with media members in a chess tournament. So I'm going to play in the Blitz competition. See how it goes. I'm looking forward to it, though.

It's 50-50 in the chat. Can you be a fan of two NFL teams? People are really split on this thing. The last thing we'll do, we'll pick an MRP. We gave one out Friday for championship round, random performances. We've got a lot of entrance. Oh, my God. Bam Morris, fullback.

That's a good one. Six foot 244 scored the game-winning touchdown against a gym. Jim Harbaugh led Colts team in the 1995 AFC Championship. I was at like one of those like kid fun zones. Yeah. In 95 watching that game. I'll never, I actually never forget where I was.

It was crazy. It's kind of a golden age for me as a young fan. I just, was it in the bowling alley? No, it was like a place where you had like ski ball and shit. It's out of business since out of business. Like most things from 1995.

But, uh, I want to say, Wasn't it O'Donnell was the quarterback for the Steelers? And he led them to Super Bowl 30, yes? Against the Cowboys. I think that's right. She's pretty wild. All right, chat.

I think somebody said Bam Morris played for the Ravens and Chiefs. Is that true? We can't give it to Bam Morris if he didn't play for the. Steelers, 94-95, Ravens, 96, 96, Bears 98, Jeeves. Getting gas lit by the chat. Orlando Predators and Katie Copperheads. Katie Copperheads.

We're a professional arena football team that played in the AF2, the minor league of the AFL. The team was founded in 2006. And 2008. What about fans changing fandom in the same conference? You can't do that. Exactly. Okay.

There you go, Chris Allen. Did Chris Allen ask that? He tried to act like he was a commander's fan after the last couple of games. Yeah. And he's a Giants fan. Oh, for sure. And that's even worse because he lives. He's from Rochester and that's close to the Buffalo.

That's crazy. It's crazy. It is a little crazy. He had a viral tweet. But, yeah, my facts, my viral moment, even though I just shit on Chris a little bit. I'm going to big him up right here. Facts viral moment of the week is going to. Chris Allen, friend of the show, he reposted the picture that the Eagles had posted of Jalen Hertz saying all smiles for championship Sunday.

And then Chris Allen reposted it and said he's dressed like a special guest boyfriend on the 90s Blatt sitcom. And he just nailed that perfectly. That's pretty good. If anyone in the chat has seen a living single, it literally looks like, it looks like a scene from a living single that he's about to walk in. Does he walk in and then the audience goes, ooh? Yes, but they're whistling and clapping. Yeah. To what they see him.

The damn heart throb. You know what, man, I just say, I want to say that. The guy that she tells you not to worry about. We parse his performances and I, listen, I don't put him in the Mahomes class. I don't put him in the Allen class. I don't put him in the borough class. But like, I'm not going to, I'm not going to let that affect the assessment. of him as a winner. Oh, winner, yeah. You know, and, you know, like what he's done so far,

you know, and the same thing with Nick, they're both kind of victims of the team that they coach and quarterback where public perception is like, oh, it's easy for them. And in some ways, it is a little bit easier being the quarterback for the Eagles than it is the, you know, the, I don't know, the Saints. Or it's easier coaching the Eagles than it is the Browns by a wide margin but you know there's no coincidence that they've been able to keep this thing together and he's the quarterback and nick's the coach and um when i went back there in the locker room and saw nick after the game he's got that swagger man he really does like the players love him they fucking love him and when you run into him you feel like he's a player like he really's got that youthful energy

he's also really cool he comes up and says what's up to you when you're on the field like like he didn't have to walk across we were on the washington sideline for a second because we were see my dad who was doing the game and that's where they're also saw tom brady fuck guys i met bradley cooper oh really nice yeah i met bradley cooper that's cool yeah and my wife was like how was it i was like guy he's kind of ugly up close just total hate her job just the hate her job by me i don't mean that bradley cooper but i had to i had to do what i had Bradley Cooper is one of them on the white side?

What do you mean? He's like one of them. Like the, like you would be like worried. The women love him? Yeah. No, I probably wouldn't be worried.

No. No. Okay. Christian wouldn't be worried, but most people would. No, I wouldn't. I wouldn't be worried because like, it's Bradley Cooper. Okay.

You know, it just is what it is. You know? Yeah. I love Silver Linings playbook. It's a great movie. Star is born. Great movie.

he's a great actor he was a nice guy saw him on the field as well so shout out to the chat um and come super bowl week we'll be out there we'll be having a good time make sure you stay tuned on the green light youtube channel on our audio channel and uh we'll be putting out some you have no about any Pokemon card shops in new orleans hit your boy up on x looking for some so confused about the viability of this bro before this show i just pulled two cards out of I worked over $250. Stop it. Upstairs.

Just pulled them. Is that what that noise was? Yes. Yes. He was fucking screaming, stomping around before the show. I'm like, there's no sports on the gamble on, nothing. I pulled a semi-god pack. Oh, a semi-god pack.

That's like a Josh Allen pack. Three cards. A demi-god pack. Is it called a demi-god pack? Okay. Semi-god pack. Yeah, because a God pack. It's like the Holmes pack.

Yeah. That's a pack. of cars is with like $5,000 right now. Cheese fans, I'm sorry I had to flip on you today. You got a great team, great program, awesome. Hey, love watching it. Love watching every minute. I'm going to be rooting for the birds.

I had to flip on you over that call, though, and I'm sorry. All I can do is be honest. No, it did not, one last time, it did not decide the game. But in the effort to be honest on this show, we had to address that off the top. All right, y'all. take care and we'll see you Friday
