Welcome to part of my take.
Today is Monday, January 30th.
Happy birthday.
Thank you.
Week conference championship.
What? What? What?
What? What? What?
We start in Philadelphia where Brock Herdy had a liberty size bell crack in his elbow
in the first quarter giving us Josh Johnson from San Diego,
from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, from the Sacramento Mountain Lions,
from the Cleveland Browns, from the Cincinnati Bengals,
from the New York Jets, from the Indianapolis Colts, from the Buffalo Bills,
from the Baltimore Ravens, from the New York Giants, from the Houston Texans,
from the Oaklanders, from the Washington Redskins.
We don't say that word anymore.
From the San Diego Fleet, from the Detroit Lions,
from the Los Angeles Wildcats, from the Denver Broncos.
That's a lot of froms.
Who's Kyle Shanaman is this as he showed that he's the worst challenger since 1986
after keeping the flag in his pocket on a Devontae Smith bobble turning the game early.
Speaking of who, I can see for miles and miles and miles,
Sanders found Pader twice.
Update the ledger, Nick Wawa, so serious.
Sonny has fast Batman, fat Batman, and muscle Batman on his side
and the Eagles are headed back to the Super Bowl.
Grease up those light poles, Philadelphia.
Eagles 31, Niners 7.
And we finish in Kansas City where Andy Patrick Reed was ready for a fight
but in a stunning reversal of roles.
It was his opponent, the Bengals, that threw a tee
leading to a tied second half game after Higgins found the end zone.
The contest unfortunately had a lot to do with the refs
as Ron Toe Burton and Ernie called the game like an absolute muppet
while the line judge Jeff Big Load of Seaman was an absolute nut.
Joseph Osai, can you see that Patrick Mahomes is two steps out of bounds
as the Bengals defender got a critical late hit penalty
leading to a Harrison Ford Bucker successfully landing a plane for once through the uprights.
Ron For a treat as Candy Reed now faces his former team in Super Bowl 57.
The Chiefs 23, the 690 Bengals 20.
And that was a quick fastest two minutes brought to you by our friends at Chevy.
The fastest two minutes is brought to you by Chevy.
Chevy Silverado is commanding an unstoppable like the teams that made it through this weekend.
So just like the Eagles, just like the Chiefs, the Chevy Silverado is the truck to pick.
It is the best truck ever created.
The Chevy Silverado commanding unstoppable grit.
All those words become a truck guy or girl this year with the Chevy Silverado.
Okay, conference championship.
We have Super Bowl 57 set in Phoenix, Arizona, February 12th, Glendale, Arizona, Glendale,
Arizona and Scottsdale, Arizona as well, where most of the events will be being held.
The Philadelphia Eagles going against the Kansas City Chiefs conference championship weekend.
It was a weird fucking day.
It was a weird day and we're going to do, we're going to do a little flip it and reverse it
because the Chiefs Bengals game has a lot more to talk about.
And we just finished watching it.
So we're going to start with that.
Then we'll get to Eagles Niners.
PFT, I think we should do something real quick before we get into this game.
I think we should set a timer, set a timer, Jake.
I think we should allow ourselves three minutes to talk about the refs because no one really
wants to hear a podcast talk about the rest, but we do at least need to acknowledge it.
Yeah.
So three minutes and then we talk about the game.
Okay.
So the Chiefs had a stunning.
Yeah.
Ready, set, go.
Okay.
So the Chiefs had some great fifth down conversion plays in there.
So Andy Reed thought of everything.
They had the one play that was complete.
That never happened.
Yeah.
It was like a wrinkle in time that just got wiped off the face of the earth.
There was the, the, a mishold towards the end of the game on Sam Hubbard on the scramble
play where Patrick Mahomes went out about possibly miss blocking the back.
There were two miss blocks in the back on that one punt return, which was a shitty punt.
Don't get me wrong.
It was like a line drive.
Should have gotten more air under, but they missed those.
The late hit call was good.
That was the correct call.
It was 100%.
But they also missed the late hit call earlier against Joe Mixon as the Bengals were going
out.
So my biggest deal with the refs is this is championship Sunday.
We should be watching four teams playing the best football of the year, going into the
Super Bowl to punch a ticket.
And instead we watch that game.
And even if you are an objective, unbiased observer, you're not a Bengals or a Chiefs
fan.
You watch that game and you're like, they have no fucking clue what's going on.
The, the refereeing was, was bad spots were bad.
Everything was bad.
And it shouldn't be that because it takes away from the actual games.
And I do feel bad for Bengals fans.
We'll get into the actual game.
I still think the Chiefs, like, you know, they were the team that made more plays when
it counted at the end.
So they deserve to win.
I'm not taking anything away, but we shouldn't even have to do three minutes about the refs
and the rest were crazy.
The rest decided a lot of shit in the first game too, which was obviously an, you know,
an easier win for the Eagles, but man, were they bad.
Zach Taylor just spent the second half of the game with his blood pressure up around
like 250.
And rightfully screaming the entire time.
There was nothing he could do.
He should have gone the Pat Bev route and like brought a camera down on the sidelines
and just shown them, Hey, here's all the stuff that you're fucking up for me.
I do feel bad for Bengals fans.
They played well enough to win at times.
At times.
It was a good matchup.
It was a good match between two good teams.
So I was, I was hoping that it was going to have more to do with what happened on the
field and not waiting to see what's going to happen with all these calls.
Now that being said, this shit is rigged.
The NFL is rigged.
It's rigged for ratings or for money.
The script.
No, I Jake, Jake, majority vote.
Well, guess what?
I think that we should do the award this week because by default, there's only one play
that was called correctly this entire weekend.
So we'll have the Cadarius.
Tony touched.
I wiped off.
The NFL is rigged.
It's scripted everything.
They get a script at the start of every season and then Hollywood kicks them out because
no one would believe the script and they bring back a rewrite and they're like, okay,
we can believe this script.
They want Patrick Mahomes in the Super Bowl.
Jake, time out real quick to look up a fact.
23 seconds.
Okay.
Time out to look up a quick fact.
What is the name of the stadium in Glendale, Arizona?
I believe it's State Farm Stadium.
Huh.
That's interesting.
Yeah, that's weird.
Oh, Patrick Mahomes on every commercial.
That's interesting.
Isn't that interesting?
That's very interesting.
Wait, time back in.
23.
Isn't that interesting?
Uh-huh.
So we're not suspending the award?
No, that's just a little bit interesting.
If you ask me, the number one spokesperson going into the stadium that's named after this
insurance company?
Huh.
I think it's 10 seconds.
Okay, it's rigged.
It's rigged.
It's rigged.
It's rigged.
It's rigged.
It's rigged.
It's rigged.
It's rigged.
No, give me the award this week.
It's rigged.
It's suspended.
It's rigged.
Whoa.
Nice, Jake.
Let's talk about the game.
Jake has bad to the bone as his alarm.
Let's talk about the game because I think we did justice there for Bengals fans who
were tuning in and wanted justice.
This game was awesome outside of everything we just talked about because it was Mahomes
and Burrow like going shot for shot at times where you felt like the Bengals were out of
it, but they're never out of it.
That huge drive that Joe Burrow had that touchdown to T Higgins Mahomes with like, I, I mean,
I still think his ankle is clearly a lot better than we thought, but still that run
to set up the perfect late hit was like a gutsy run and he made that the pass that Mahomes
made, uh, was it the, his, the second touchdown pass.
I can't remember who he threw it to, but it was one of the like sickest passes, greatest
drives, like gutsy drives Harman Harman.
Yeah. He, you remember when he stepped up in the pocket, hit him with an absolute seed
right down the middle of the field. It was like, it was both of those quarterbacks were
just, you felt like either of them could win that game late and the chiefs just made more
plays. Like they made more plays and the, and the punt return was obviously very significant.
It's funny because we've been talking all year how the chief's special teams would
bite them in the ass. It actually went reverse kind of won them that game because that was
a, like, what is it? You know, like 30 seconds left, they get a 20 yard return that now says,
Hey, all we need is like 20 yards here and maybe a late hit out of bounds, which was
the correct call.
It was the correct call. That's not a ref complaint because they got that right and
people who were upset about that call, they call that a hundred times out of 100, especially
on Patrick Mahomes, especially on one of the best quarterbacks in the league. So maybe
there was something to the fact that since Patrick Mahomes was injured and he's kind
of like limp running, he started licking your chops. If you're a defender, you're like,
I want to lay this dude out. And you keep going. He was like, he had both feet out of
bounds. Osai hit him and immediately like started crying one because his knee buckled
and then two because he was like, Oh, shit. I just call. I literally cost my team a trip
to the Super Bowl potentially bad by doing that. I feel bad for him. I feel bad for the
guy because by all accounts, everybody in Cincinnati loves him. Maybe not anymore, but
they used to love him up until that point. And they were zooming in on his face. Oh,
yeah. It was just like, let's get all of this. He basically was getting the treatment
of like a band member in March Madness. Yeah, the Villanova flu. Yeah, let's just get him
in his absolute worst, which you have to do if you're the broadcast two things that the
cameraman love is just finding hot chicks in the crowd and just like putting a camera
on them for some reason. And then if somebody's crying and we even had crying before the game,
Chris Jones wept during the national anthem. That's that's fucking coolest shit. That's
the most metal thing that you can do is to cry during your country's national anthem.
No, Sean Moreno, you knew that it was on from the moment that Chris Jones was crying. Also,
you knew it was on from when Chris Jones dropped the burrowhead seal up burrowhead remark. This
was like a heat check moment where it's like, I think, I think most logical people heard
the burrowhead talk and we're like, wait, Patrick, my home is pretty good at football,
right? And it seems like they're they're trying to anoint the Bengals as completely owning the
chiefs a little too early. This is like the stuff that you talk after that games over. Maybe
if you beat them again and they definitely heard it, definitely pissed them off and gave
them a little extra motivation. I think it was also like the Bengals have spent the last
two years being the plucky underdog, the team that no one believes in. They're winning these
games out of like, you know, like some of them crazy lucky bounces, some of them just Joe Burrow
and the rest of the team is super talented. They're defense in the second half, all that
stuff. And then the burrowhead, it's not like they needed more motivation because the AFC
championship game, but it did flip it a little bit where it's like, Oh, the Bengals aren't
really the plucky underdog anymore. They're talking shit, which go ahead, talk the shit.
But then you see the reverse with Chris Jones before the game, Chris Jones making basically
this, the, the defensive play of the game when he sacked Joe Burrow on that third and
seven was 45 seconds left. And then Travis Kelsey just running up the score with them
with the burrowhead, my ass and calling the Cincinnati mayor, a Jabroni RJ used RJ.
He's recurring guest a part of my take. But yeah, when those things, when you talk shit
and you lose, you have to, you have to expect to come back. Yeah, that's the guy that Billy
at lunch without microphones or anything was just like, Hey, Mr. Mayor, let's put our
cards on the table. Have you seen the Harambe footage? Yeah, that's the same guy. So he's
been recurring event on the show. He's a Bronie. He's a Bronie right now. He now has to admit
he's a Jabroni. Mayor Jabroni. Should I call him? He's called Mayor Jabroni. He's probably
not doing so hot right now. Probably not. I do. He just got called the Jabroni in front
of the entire nation. I'll text him and ask him for a comment. If he has a comment on
being a Jabroni. Yeah. Is are the rumors true? Are you a Jabroni? Mr. Mayor. No, Mr. Jabroni.
Mr. Mayor Jabroni. Mayor Jabroni. Mayor Jabroni. He's Mayor Jabroni now. Mayor Jabroni. And
also leading up to the game, when Eli Apple starts like telling you see you in Cancun,
like have fun talking all that shit in Cancun, that should have been another indication. Like,
you know how like people that are really good at picking stocks say when my parents hit me
up and ask me about a stock, that's what I know that it's time to sell. Once Eli Manning
starts talk or excuse me, Eli Apple starts talking shit to you about like, okay, have
fun on your vacation. The run's about to end. Yeah, at that point. And it's flying too close
to the sun. It did feel like there was a couple plays where it felt like the Bengals team
of destiny, like they just find it. I mean, the Patrick Holmes fumble, which was so crazy
that he just flubbed the ball in the middle of the air. They ended up going for it on
fourth and six, which was a gutsy call in no man's land. Huge, huge shot down the field
to Jamar Chase. And then when the, when the Bengals got the ball back with like two minutes
left and you're like, all right, here we go. Here's Joe Borough. It's going to happen.
They pick up that third and 17, which was just a crazy, you know, like, holy fuck, they
just did this. They're going to go all the way down the field. They're going to kick
a field goal. They're going to go to the Super Bowl and then Chris Jones problem, problem.
Big problem. This was what we said on Friday, like the Cincinnati Bengals offensive line
and they get credit because they did everything they could in their power to fix it and then
injuries happen.
So it's not like we're sitting here back here after last year's Super Bowl being like,
how could the Bengals not see this coming? They did everything they could to fix that
offensive line. They had a really like unfortunate string of injuries at the end of the year.
And then they, they go into Buffalo. They play a great game, you know, snow game, hard
for the defensive line. The bills don't have playmakers like that on the defensive line.
Then they come up against Frank Clark and Chris Jones and you saw it. Like they adjusted
well after the, what was it? Four sacks in the first, I think Joe Burrow had the same
amount of completions as sacks in the first quarter. And from that point on, the Bengals
adjusted well, but when the big play happens, it's like Chris Jones is going to beat the
guy in front of him because the guy in front of him is not that great.
Yeah. And the crazy thing is Joe played well enough to overcome most of those things too.
Right. Like he threw that dime to Jamar on fourth down.
Yeah. That's great. We were, we were watching the game and that's the kind of throw that
like great quarterbacks make. They try, you have Jamar Chase throw him the ball.
Right. I know he's in double coverage to throw the ball down a field, let Jamar Chase make
a play on it. Just a side note here, the Bengals uniforms night looked awesome. I think, I
think they were whiter. They did, which hurts more because when you, when you like neon
white, yeah, if you're a Bengals fan, there's going to be a lot of sadness. You do have
Joe Burrow and you also have another shot at this thing with, with all these guys not,
you know, like, I think all their wide receivers don't have to get paid for another year.
So you got another shot of it, but so to have sick looking uniforms, then you close your
eyes and you're like, damn, we looked fucking good and we lost.
Yeah. It's brutal. And it, the whole game, it was crazy because neither team could run
the ball. Joe Burrow had the most rushing yards of the entire game with 30.
Yeah. That one run that he had for like 15 yards in the fourth quarter, that was the
longest run of the game or the one that he had where he, it was like the perfect design
play where there was just no one in the middle of the field. He picked up a big third down.
Yeah. It was just big play after big play by both guys and the chiefs made more big
plays. Like I, their defense, their defensive line showed up when it needed to, and that
was the difference in the game. Like I, I, it was crazy watching the chiefs too, because
it felt like the entire second half. Like I don't know if it's because who got, who got hurt?
It was Nicole Harman got hurt. I think Cadarius, Tony got hurt. You could see it. Like the
chiefs didn't have, I mean, MBS was, was, was the guy who was doing the most of the work.
Like they didn't have those difference makers that you used to watching a chiefs game, but
they made, they made a few plays and Patrick Mahomes back in a Super Bowl, like five years,
three Super Bowl appearances. He's going to win his second MVP probably in a couple of weeks.
To Joe Flacco, like first five years. Yeah. It's, I mean, going into this, it was a lot of
Mahomes versus Borough. Like if Borough wins, you got to take Borough. I don't know. I mean,
Patrick Mahomes still Patrick Mahomes. He's fucking incredible. Yeah. So what ended up
happening this week was it, it played perfectly into the chief's hands because the chiefs, they
can't even do it as a bit anymore to be like, nobody believes in us. It's us against the world.
Everyone thinks that we suck and the Bengals gave them all that legitimate bulletin board material
to look at. That's like day one stuff. That's how Nick Saban gets his teams that are filled with
like infinity five star recruits to be like, nobody thinks that you can win a football game
against Troy. Right. You know, like in the NFL, the chiefs have reached that level where they're
expected what they're favored every single week. Everybody believe like literally everyone in the
NFL believes in the chiefs. Yes. But this week they were able to say with a straight face,
nobody believes in you. They don't think that you can win. Everyone's against you this week.
And they bought into it. And it was, it was Patrick Mahomes being a dog too. Yeah. No,
he was awesome today. Patrick Mahomes, he for considering the pain that he was dealing with
with that foot taped up, he didn't take a shot. He said he was a fucking beast today. Yeah. And he,
you know, I think that because he was playing and looked, I don't know, somewhat like normal
Mahomes, obviously he was still injured. We, we, we, like I, at least during the game,
forgot at moments that he had a high ankle sprain like seven days ago, because he is that type of
dude. And he's tough as fuck, made big plays when it mattered. And the Bengals, man, this is,
I mean, think, I guess when you have five AFC championship games at Arrowhead,
you have like iconic moments, but Joseph Asai is up there with D Ford now. Like in terms of
a game changing play that probably cost you a chance at a Super Bowl. And I, you know, I don't
know if, was there like 15 seconds left? So maybe they get it. Maybe they get a couple plays off and
they're able to get those yards anyway. But I think, I think the very next, it was eight seconds
after the very next play was the kick. Yeah. Because it was, it was a wrong, it would have been like
a 50, what, 57 yard field goal? Something, it was a 45 yard or so would have been.
He was down at the 42, the Cincinnati 42. So it's like a 60 yard.
Yeah, 57 yard. And they were saying in that cold, it would have been bad.
A comment from the mayor, mayor of Cincinnati, Mayor Jabroni, excuse me. Mayor Jabroni said,
yeah, deserve that. Congrats to Casey on a well fought win and good luck in Arizona.
Proud of our fans and our Bengals for the energy all year. Who day?
Okay, yeah. So he's a Jabroni. He's a Mayor Jabroni.
Confirmed Mayor Jabroni. Yeah, I mean, he said I am Mayor Jabroni.
He should change his name to Mayor Jabroni. Yeah, he is. What are you gonna say, Billy?
How can you have access to the Harambe footage and just never check it out if you have that power?
Think about it. It's a waste of power. Yeah, like a Jabroni wouldn't do that.
Day one, you go to the, you demand, like if I was president, I'd be like day one,
I want to see the files on Nancy Reagan. And then day two, I'd be like, give me the JFK stuff.
If I'm the Mayor of Cincinnati, show me the fucking Harambe film.
No, it's becoming, yeah, becoming the president, being like, well, so what's the deal with aliens?
Yeah. First question. Harambe. Give me the aliens. Down. I need to have a clear my schedule.
Right. That's really the only reason to run for mayor of Cincinnati.
I would create a life-size diorama of the Cincinnati Zoo in the office. Yeah.
And then just have it set up with like bullet trajectory paths.
Yeah. Tell me exactly, was there a second shooter? The good news is we don't have to make like a
Nick Siriani murdering Harambe shirt. Yeah. We could do any read. We did. We could do any read
for this game. So people know the shirt that we put on sale last year when the Rams beat the
Bengals. We had our end of the year merch review and it was a top 10 selling shirt. The one with,
with, with Sean McVeigh holding a smoking gun and Harambe has bullets in his chest.
So yeah, that, listen, you're a lot of sick fucks out there. I said, remember when, when
the thought popped in my head and I had Triggs, who's an incredible artist, draw that for us.
I said, this is a terrible thought and anyone who buys this shirts a sicko turns out there's a lot
of sickos out there. We actually told people not to buy the shirt. Yeah. And it was our,
it was one of our most successful shirts the entire year. So you guys, you guys don't,
you guys don't listen to us. It is crazy. Like we'll do all of our Super Bowl story lines on
Wednesday because this is now like a legacy for Andy Reed and Patrick Mahomes going back to another
Super Bowl that we were talking, I think we were saying this maybe a week ago, like if you're going
to be the team of this decade, you got to win more than one. And now going to three in five years
and potentially winning another one, like that would, that would put it on the map of like,
Hey, these guys have owned these last half decade of NFL football. Yeah. I'm just glad that we don't
have to go through with the whole Tom Brady, Peyton Manning debate, like trying to make Joe
Burrow and Patrick Mahomes and Tom Brady and Peyton Manning. It made no sense. I just, I like
saying that Joe Burrow and Patrick Mahomes are like Joe Burrow and Patrick Mahomes. Right. It
also just made, it was basically everyone was trying to, they saw these two quarterbacks,
young quarterbacks in the AFC and they're like, what is this like? Oh, it's like that last time
we had two young quarterbacks, but it made no sense because the, the idea was that Mahomes is,
is Peyton Manning and, you know, it's awesome and wins the MVPs and then Burrow beats him in
the playoffs, but Mahomes already has a super bowl. Manning didn't have a super bowl for a long
time. It's a lot like the, the Brady Peyton Manning debate. If Peyton Manning had a super bowl and
Tom Brady didn't have any super bowl, which makes zero sense whatsoever. So I'm glad we just get
to be like, it's Joe Burrow and Patrick Mahomes. They're both pretty good. Let's, let's enjoy
watching them. And the Brady Manning debate just set up perfectly for sports debates because it was
Manning was the better quarterback in the regular season all the time and, and Brady just had all
the rings. Yeah. It's just completely, completely. It was dumb. I'm glad that we don't, I'm glad we
don't have to pretend to have that conversation. MVPs and rings. So yeah, I would say Patrick Mahomes
still, still on top. I, you know, Bengals fans, that is going to be, that is, that's worse than
the Super Bowl loss, I would say, because you, you had that game. It felt like, you never had the
game, but it did feel like with two and a half minutes left when Joe Burrow picks up that third
and 17, you're like, this is it. We're going to do, this is going to be it. Joe Burrow is the man.
And I, I like, it must be incredible rooting for a guy like Joe Burrow because I obviously had
the future on the Bengals. I never hedged because I was like, Oh Joe, even down 13, six and a half,
you're like, it's Joe Burrow. Like he'll be back in this game. They're going to be back in this
game. They always are back in the game. And they just, the luck kind of ran out. Yeah. It's tough.
It's got to be a tough morning. You're probably not listening to this. If you're a Bengals fan,
let's be honest. You might be listening to this maybe on Wednesday. Yeah. And so in which case,
I hope that you're doing okay. I also, I want to say one thing for Bengals fans. I do,
I did think that you guys were maybe the most sensitive fan base in the NFL this year, but
now I'm on your side because you have rights to complain and, and, and get your complaints off.
Like what you have now is a week of, I want to see all the screen grabs. I want to see the block
in the back, still images. I want that tweeted at everyone. Like you, you, you, you, when you lose
a game like that, the only thing that you have in terms of like therapy is to get in arguments
with random people online for the next five days and just be like, look at this play, look at this
play. Five days, try like three years. You're going to, I want to see the screenshots. I want
you to circle them using the illustrator tool. I want, I want you to reply to every Adam Schefter
tweet with like four separate photos of ways that you got hosed today. I want you, I want you to just
be very active because you need to get these emotions out in some way. And I think that,
I think just spite and vengeance are going to be the two emotions that you need to lean heavily
on. And I have to imagine that Cincinnati will be lining up behind the Philadelphia Eagles.
Right. And the Super Bowl. So Cincinnati is now, I actually, I think, didn't, didn't we say that
Cincinnati was the Philadelphia of Ohio? Yeah, this is perfect. The sister city of Philly.
You're ready to go since he and Philly was since he fucking since he, no one likes us
and we don't care. Yeah. And, and the chiefs, you have Patrick Mahomes and that's the greatest
thing that you could ever have in the entire world. In terms of all the things.
Big house. I'd rather have Patrick Mahomes. You're like a hundred million dollars or gets
a roof of Patrick Mahomes. I think I think it might be bad. Like if you can't watch,
if you're a chiefs fan, it's like you can't watch Patrick Mahomes or you can have this lump sum
of cash. It's like Patrick Mahomes brings happiness that money can't buy. Like would you rather have
a big giant family who all loves you or Patrick Mahomes? Right. Probably Patrick Mahomes. I
mean, no doubt about it. Chief Sahalik has Patrick Mahomes. He might be in prison right now,
but he's still very, very happy with his life because he still has Patrick Mahomes. Yeah.
Like would you rather like you have to have a car that breaks down every single week,
no matter what. It's like Groundhog's Day. So you don't even realize like, oh,
shit, my car is broken down again, but you get to root for Patrick Mahomes. Take that deal.
Patrick Mahomes. Every fucking day. Yeah, Patrick Mahomes. It's Patrick Mahomes.
I'd say Patrick Mahomes, you can't buy Patrick Mahomes. No, no, you can just hope to draft them.
And it'll never happen. Yeah, never, ever, never again. I mean, it's just,
yeah, the chiefs are fucking, they make big plays. Patrick Mahomes is a dog. It will be
interesting to see what happens with some of these injuries because didn't you feel like the
chiefs had no like explosive plays? Yeah. They had a bunch of plays where Travis Kelsey would get
open or Patrick Mahomes would buy enough time to find someone, but it wasn't, it never felt like
they had a designed, here's a throw, like here's a perfect design play where we just know we're
going to rip off 30 yards. Yeah. No, it's like the Pacheco play. I was going to say Pacheco is
really their, their main guy that I would want the ball in his hands. He's a monster. Pacheco is
awesome. And it puzzles me why they keep giving the ball to Jerick McKinnon because he's every
time he's just a less talented version of Pacheco and Pacheco is awesome. Pacheco never stops moving.
He never stops moving. People can't tackle him for some reason. It's like he's greased up.
And so I don't know why they insist on like, maybe like it's a load management thing. They
don't want Pacheco to get too tired running for 15 yards every time he has the ball in his hands.
There was one play. There was one point in the game where he had a huge play, got kind of like
his bell rung a little bit and then they put in Jerick McKinnon so he could catch up his breath
and Jerick McKinnon just promptly ripped off a minus two yard. That's what he does. Yeah.
Minus two yard swing passes. Yeah. It makes no sense why you would work McKinnon to the rotation
when you have a perfectly good Isaiah Pacheco right there. How crazy was that Mahomes fumble?
That was the other moment where if you're a Bengals fan, you're like, this is it. We got it.
Yeah. The ball just fell out and credit to Tony Romo who's like, I don't know if that's a fumble
or not. Yeah. Of course. Yeah. Tony doesn't know. Tony doesn't know. Tony had an all time bad day
today. Yeah. Very bad. Just annoying. Just yelling over by television the entire time.
Debating that holding penalty when it was going to be either fourth and eight or third in like
18 is like, dude, don't give Pacheco Holmes another play. Yeah. Why would you like that is
just certified death. The refs tried to do it, giving him another play. Yeah. But don't give him
another play. Let them decide what to do with a fourth and eight and they ended up punting and
fuck, man. Yeah. That was a good game. Other than the rest, it was a great game. I had to take
last week that Kirk Cousins has had a better NFL career than Tony Romo did. And people got mad,
but then you look at the facts. Oh, yeah. No. And you can't argue numbers never lie. Yeah.
Factory fiction. I would rather have Kirk Cousins as the quarterback of my team for his whole career
than Tony Romo. That's a fact. If Tony Romo was the starting quarterback for the Carolina Panthers
entire career, nobody would know his name. He would be like a funny name that we bring up.
I'd forget him. Or I actually would maybe be more loved because we were like,
member Tony Roe, like, man, he was good, but he played for a bad deal. What if he was on? Yeah.
Yeah. Right. He'd get Jake plummeted. Right. Right. Like, man, just things didn't work out for him.
Yeah. Okay. Anything else on the chief's Bengals game?
Travis Kelsey has 15 postseason touchdown catches tying Rob Gronkowski for the most by a tight end
in NFL history. Whoa. I'm still a Gronk guy. I say Gronk over Kelsey.
But he's making it hard for me to stay on that take. He's not even a big game player.
Is it every game? He's every game. He's every game player. Hank, I have a debate for you.
What would you rather have all the years that you've had with Tom Brady in your past before
he left you and left you in a ditch and now he's going to go play for even another team afterwards?
Or you get to have Patrick Mahomes and the entire future of Patrick Mahomes in front of you.
Brady. Okay. Six goals. Also, Frank Clark is now, I believe,
second all time, third all time. He had another one and a half sacks. So he passed Terrell Suggs
and I believe he might be a half a sack behind Bruce Smith. So he's going for history in the
Super Bowl. Most career playoff sacks, which is insane because also I'm pretty sure Chris Jones,
he had two sacks this game. I think the, I think the first one was his first playoff sack.
Really? Yeah. I believe so. I think they said that on the broadcast, which kind of makes sense
because he's doing a lot of other things that aren't, you know, like his space eater. Yeah,
right. But then they put, they put him out on the edge on that third and seven and he just
fucking won it easily. And that was, I mean, again, the play of the game on defense for the chiefs,
because that it did feel like bro is going to go down the field. All right. Let's do a quick
ad and then let's do the NFC championship game. Let's do it. The NFC championship game is brought
to you by our great friends over at Peloton. Hank, you were on the Peloton this weekend,
weren't you? Yep. Love the Peloton game changer. An hour workout you psycho. I've been using the
Peloton app. I've been doing treadmill workouts too on the Peloton. I love them. I hate running,
but I love using the Peloton app and the Peloton tread. I got to try it out like a couple years
ago on their showroom. The Peloton tread is awesome. It's a really, really good piece of
workout equipment. It's great because you can switch up your entire workout routine and the
live leaderboard pushes you harder. You get a way better workout and when you know that you're
competing against the leaderboard on the treadmill, you can see exactly where you're at in the class,
monitor your heart rate. It's awesome. They're great workout tools. I love Peloton. I use Peloton
probably like four or five times a week. Peloton offers thousands of on-demand classes available
24-7. That means that you can work out whenever and wherever it's convenient for you. I like Alex
Toussaint. I like using classes with Kindle Tools classes. I like Olivia's classes. Allie. Allie,
Allie Love, like Cody Rigsby. They got a lot of good instructors on there. You don't have to be a
super athlete to enjoy Peloton because they're classes for every level. Whether you're squeezing

I'm just responding to someone. Someone said,
Patrick Mahomes Fleshlight on Twitter said,
you've been rooting against KC in every playoff game since 2018. That's not true. Too bad,
I had a Bengal's future. Too bad you can't spend most of this podcast nutting over burrow in a loss
like you did with Allen last year. Give cheese kingdom their flowers without caveats for, for
once. I'm just saying shut up loser. You just won the ANC championship game. The fact that you're
thinking of me when you just went or go into the Super Bowl, I also think we get a lot. Like
we give Patrick Mahomes a, how can you not give him credit? He's the fucking best quarterback in
the NFL. Was he not number one of your post season rankings? Of course he was. He's the best
quarterback in the NFL. It's, it's chiefs fans looking to get more credit for Patrick Mahomes.
Shut the fuck up. You don't deserve that right now. We give a ton of credit. Patrick Mahomes
the best quarterback in the NFL. I can't say it enough. He's, we would literally give up everything.
Don't be the guys being like, you guys got to give us more credit. You guys get all the credit.
Patrick Mahomes, the best quarterback in the NFL. If you gave me the opportunity, I would,
I would leave this podcast tomorrow if it meant that I got to root Patrick Mahomes. Yes. I leave
everything. I don't go live out in the desert somewhere in a tent. If it meant that on Sundays,
I could come into the, into a city with electricity and watch Patrick Mahomes play football.
Just watch one game. I wouldn't watch the rest of the NFL. Yeah. No, just, just him,
just him every week. Also, we have the chiefs players, which I love saying on,
look like a Instagram live, Eli Apple. I'm going to smoke one for you as they're holding cigars.
And then even better, the first reply is receipts are here too. And it's just a screen grab of the
hold on Trey Hendrickson on that third and four with 15 seconds left. Which was, it was a hold.
We addressed it in the ref. We can't comment any further about it. If you want to, you can,
you're more than welcome to rewind the first part of the show and listen to three minutes
of ref bashing. Yes. Um, okay. Eagles Niners, what we expected to be an incredible game,
turned out to be, uh, the Niners having every single player get hurt. Uh, they got Brock
Purdy got hurt. Then Josh Johnson came in, Josh Johnson's played for 14 NFL teams. Then he got
hurt. Then Brock Purdy came back in, couldn't throw the ball, but it doesn't matter because
the Eagles won the game and they won it handily. I know that like obviously everything changes once
Brock Purdy gets hurt because they, they literally couldn't throw the ball for essentially three
quarters of the game, but the Eagles won and there's no apologies here, right? Max 22 to one
kid marches on. Definitely no apologies. No apologies. Let's also not forget that Christian
McCaffrey got in for a little bit of quarterback and he threw a pass that landed I think 25 yards
away from any eligible receiver. It was impressive. I, I didn't think that it was possible to have a
ball go that far away from any teammates. Usually like on any play, just by happenstance, if you
throw the ball down field, you'll be closer than what he tried to do. But when they put Brock
Purdy back in, it was pretty apparent he could not throw the ball more than like five, six yards.
He said that his hand went numb. So it's like a UCL thing. So he just went out there and like
tried to push the ball down field best he could, but that game was over. There was nothing that,
that they could do. I felt bad for, uh, for 49ers players. Like their offensive line, Trent Williams
didn't want to play in that game anymore. Cause there's no point, you know, that you can't do
anything on offense. The Niners would have been better off just like throwing the ball down field
in an arm punt situation, like giving up 40 yards, like getting a 40 yard interception or punting on
first down and then hoping somehow that your defense could score a defensive touchdown to win
that game. That would have statistically, I think they would have been more likely to win the game
had they done that. I'd agree. And, uh, my friend stuck, he said online, it was like a Mac game
and it really was like there was vibes of a Mac game going on when you had, you know, the
Josh Johnson come in, then him get hurt, then Brock Purdy come back in, um, punts hitting the
wire, Kyle Shanahan, not challenging the Devonte Smith, uh, catch in the first quarter was very
significant. I don't, the, the biggest thing for me was like the Eagles offense didn't look great.
Their defense was incredible. Like they, I, you're never trying to injure a quarterback, but
their defensive line was just all up in the Niners backfield the entire game. Yeah. And,
and they just absolutely destroyed them. Yeah. It's time to start asking the question is,
is there something about Kyle Shanahan's play calling that gets all of his quarterbacks injured?
That's a question we should ask. He's a great head coach, but does he just love injuring guys
under center? Yeah. Brock Purdy was perfect today, four for four. He was four for four, 29 yards,
three yards, 23 yards. Okay. We also had, which is total QBR on that QBR was 90 or his
quarterback rating was 90.6. That's a pretty good day. That's a good day. He also, we also had
Rick Flair chime in. He said, Brock Purdy, I crashed in an airplane getting the game. What the
fuck? That I was saying during the game, if you're going to get injured as a quarterback, you,
you weirdly in a game like that, you weirdly want to get injured to the point where like it's so
visible. It's like this guy's so in like your legs broken or your concussed because having to
stand there on the sideline, I was getting flashbacks to Jay Cutler and the NFC championship
game was like, why, you're standing. Why can't you get in the game? It's like, well, no, he's
injured, but the meatball brain comes over. You're like, dude, it's the fucking NFC championship
game. Why can't you throw a ball? It reminded me a lot gripable. Yeah. Yeah. It reminded me a lot
of the Colt McCoy game against Alabama and the national championship where he gets hurt in the
first half his shoulders fucked up and then he goes in the hallway and he's trying to throw passes
to his dad and he can't complete a pass. He fucked up because you can't have your dad be part of that
process. Right. It was true that you can't throw a pass, but you just got to leave your dad out
because then everyone's like, well, his dad wouldn't let him go back in the game. Yeah. Brock
Purdy, he was on the sidelines and he was still wearing his uniform. So of course everybody's
like, if that was me, I'd be back in that game right now. It would have gone down different.
Like we're all Mark Wahlberg in that moment. But for him on the sideline, he couldn't throw
the ball. They put Josh Johnson in. I like Josh Johnson. Nice guy. There's probably a reason
why he hasn't stuck around one of the 14 teams that he's been. Yeah. And also I, someone in the
gambling cave was like, Josh Johnson. Oh, Stephen Chase is Josh Johnson sucks. You can't really
say that about a guy who's the fourth string quarterback on a team who then gets thrown into
NSE chain. Like he didn't want to be there. Did you see him go for that fumble? I mean,
that decided the game, the fumble at the end of the first half with a minute left. He fumbles the
ball and his face was just like, I don't want to fucking put my nose in here. That dude's big.
Yeah. Like I'm not doing this. I was supposed to stand here and hopefully go to the Superbowl
and like get maybe two comp tickets and that would have been sick. Instead he has to go in there and
play against an Eagles defense that was just pinning their ears back all game and completely
just fucked up everything the Niners were trying to do. Yeah. He was going to, he was like,
he was four quarters away from going on the world's best golf vacation to Arizona,
having fun, probably getting interviews, getting some interviews, getting paid by like a couple
sponsors step in. They were going to, he's doing interviews for like Goodyear tires on radio row.
He would have had a great time and now he's in a game. He has no business. He hadn't prepared for
and he's getting hit by endemic ensue. Right. That's about his biggest swing of the pendulum,
as you can imagine. Josh Johnson was ready for his like pre pre pre game show that Fox does at
like five in the morning on Superbowl Sunday and like a feature on Josh Johnson, the journeyman.
He was ready for that moment and it just didn't happen. Got taken away. And I, the Eagles offense,
I don't, I'm not going to judge because they didn't look, Max, you can chime in. Like they didn't
look great, but I also think once it was 21 seven and a half and once it was clear that the Niners
literally couldn't throw the ball, they're like, why would we, why would we throw? Like why would
we do? Why would we show anything other than just running the ball and winning this game?
Yeah. I mean, that's what Sirianni's basically been doing all year is that we get up early and
then just run the ball in the second half and you're going to do that today more than any other day
ever. The only thing that could have hurt them was the turnover in the entire second half.
Yeah. So I mean, you just got to take care of business at that point, but it was one of the
weirdest games. Yeah. Just from it was uncomfortable to watch. Yeah. It was just because it was,
it was like a game you watched in week two and you're like, whoa, they really don't have this
quarterback situation figured out. Not an NFC championship game. You're like, this is not that
I, I mean, you probably never felt bad. I never felt bad because I have the Eagles ticket, but like
there were moments where I was like, whoa, this is, this is kind of sad for the Niners. Like they
can't do anything. Like their best case scenario was driving down the field, like down three,
three touchdowns, driving down the field, eating like eight minutes of clock and maybe getting
a touchdown at the end of it. And like you could tell they were trying to do something a little
bit different when they would just do these random like weird pitch plays to Debo and those would
just get blown up for like minus four yards. Debo was couldn't do anything. That's when you know
it's a problem. Yeah. I think you got, you said it best. They just took care of business in the
second half. It was like they had, they had a business meeting they had to go to. They showed
up. They stuck to the agenda and then it was easy. The rest of it took care of itself. I do think
that there is an underrated superstar in Philadelphia, a hero that we need to address. Do you know
about the pillar guy, Max? Do you know who the pillar guy is? I do not know who the pillar guy is.
His name is Jigar Desai. So before the NFC championship game in 2018, he was on the SEPTA
on the platform and he was like running next to a train like saying, let's go Eagles, EA, GL,
ES Eagles. And he's like looking at the people on the train and he just runs straight into the pillar,
gets knocked the fuck out by this pillar because he's so pumped up. So he said that he was going
to keep the traditional live before this NFC championship game, go down to the SEPTA and run
into that same pillar again, full speed, just to bring good luck and then go straight over to the
link with his family afterwards. So shout out to pillar guy. Yeah, he did it. That dude's a legend.
That guy's a legend. That guy set the tone. He's in the Philly Sports Van Hall of Fame for sure.
Absolutely. Yeah, I'm looking at it right now. That is hilarious that he ran that back.
That's why Philly fans are just the best. Oh, and the Philly fans going after Boso before
going after Joey Boso. He looked like such a fucking asshole. No, Joey Boso. Joey Boso.
And then you could tell Joey Boso, two signs that he was so rattled. He's like, what are you
going to post this with your buddies on Snapchat? It's like, cool, Joey. I love a good buddy.
And then he just started talking about how much richer he is because they were like,
go pay your fines. He's like, yeah, I can afford it. Do you know how much money I made?
They're so Philly to rattle like that's why you have to like anyone who doesn't love
Philly in that way because they just it doesn't matter if family member, they're just going to
fucking heckle the shit out of you and they just go. It's the same speed for everyone.
So Boso tried to not let it get under his skin at first. He was like,
and he was like, he tried. He thought that he was just busting balls when he was like,
what are you going to tape that Snapchat to your buck buddy? He was like fucking nailed it.
That was awesome. He was talking some some shit. And then you saw like his family.
Because they see the moment where Boso starts to snap and they've been around that before.
I'm sure where he just like gets into meathead mode. We saw it at the end of the C words game
and he just he's escorted away by his family, but he still has to turn around and be like,
I make more money than you. What's up now? This is actually a great hypothetical. You know,
like the hypotheticals, how many, you know, five year olds could you beat up? How many
like drunk Philly meatballs could Joey Bosa beat up? Because I actually don't think it's,
I think it's probably like eight, maybe eight. The drunker they are. Yeah, the better I feel.
Yeah, right. Because they would just take shots and keep coming. Yeah, they were just
eight Philly fans versus Joey Bosa. Did you ever play like those those resident evil games in the
arcades where the zombies would just come at you and you'd shoot them with the guns? It's like that
except they have an unlimited supply in Philadelphia. So like you could yeah, you could probably take
out the first like eight to 10. And they always wear those big ass hoodie sweatshirts that you
can just grab and like sling around. So they'd be pretty easy to take out. But then once you reach
a critical mass of probably like a dozen enveloping you, then you just kind of like sink for your
legs sink down into the sea. They start eating you. Yeah. Yeah. So early thoughts. I'm not going
to hedge. Yeah, no, I think the Eagles are going to win this Super Bowl. The I really do. The Eagles
are probably better than the Chiefs at every position group other than quarterback and tight
quarterback and tight end. Yeah. But the line offensive defensive line. I'm taking the birds
receiver room birds, running game birds, secondary birds, like the Eagles have the better roster.
It's just Jalen Hurts. And I would say Jalen Hurts running the ball today. Like it looked
like he's getting closer back to 100% because he had a few runs where it's like, oh yeah,
this is what their offense look like for the first 13, 14 weeks of the season.
Yes and no. His deep hole. His deep hole was bad today. Yeah. The passing game did not look.
But I also, again, I don't think as soon as you realize the Niners cannot pass the ball,
it's like, why would you take any risks? Right, right. He had a couple of bad over throws, but
I wouldn't want to want to Smith that he should have caught that hit him in his chest. That's
true. But even that was an under thrown. Yeah. Like that, that was basically just Devonte going
up and making a play. You gotta let your playmakers make plays. But I'm not as worried about that.
Like Jalen Hurts has been, his deep hole has been amazing this year. So one bad game isn't
necessarily going to start. Andy Reid versus Sirianni. I would put the check mark on Andy
Reid's side on that one. Yeah, sure. So they get head coach and quarterback. Sirianni's been
coaching. He's been flawless. He's given you some so corny this week. Oh my God,
he's the corniest guy ever. But like, his game plan has been great every week. And he just,
they just take care of business. 28 points. Average margin of victory is 28 points for the
first two games. Okay. So the last question I have on this game, it's a Roback question. Use code
take on Roback for 20% off your first purchase. I'm wearing the joggers right now. PFT's got the
shirt on. Roback makes the most comfortable gear out there. The performance joggers are awesome.
I wear them all weekend long. Use code take on Roback.com for 20% off your first purchase.
R-H-O-B-A-C-K.com promo code take for 20% off your first purchase. My Roback question
goes to someone in this room who has not talked yet. And it's for Henry Lockwood.
I said Brady. So Hank is in a pickle. I don't know if everyone here has realized what he's
facing now. So Hank, you hate the city of Philadelphia. You hate Eagles fans. You hate the Eagles.
You also now, this is a nightmare matchup for you because the only person who's knocking on Brady's
like, and he's got a long way to go, but the only person right now that you could make the argument
like, oh, maybe in 10 years he could have, you know, four or five, six Super Bowls and the Chiefs
could go on these runs is Patrick Mahomes. You hate the Chiefs. You hate the Eagles. You are
completely stuck because if Philadelphia loses this Super Bowl, that's another one closer for
Mahomes. And if Mahomes loses the Super Bowl, your sworn enemies, the city of Philadelphia and
Max specifically have won a Super Bowl. This is a disaster for you. That's a Roback question
coming. It is. It's a total disaster. He doesn't. I said this right before you came in here, PFT,
and I saved most of it for the show, but like, I was like, oh, you're fucked. He's like, I'm
fucked. He knows he's fucked. You are fucked. Yeah. I mean, this has probably been the least
enjoyable season of rooting for sports I've ever experienced. If I wasn't doing this show and talking
about it every day, and then this was like the job, I probably wouldn't like just not be paying
attention to any of the storylines. I would probably watch the game, but like not, you know,
watch it the day of the guy. Let's turn this on for a couple of minutes. What about if Mahomes
wins another Super Bowl? You can be like, well, the NFL obviously rigged it for Patrick Mahomes
this year. It was very clear. No, no, no. He's if Mahomes was a Super Bowl, he's he because Super
Bowls are Super Bowls. Yeah. Yeah. Both situations are terrible. You are you need the Super Bowl
canceled. Yeah, I was I was thinking of what I'm going to root for. And I really because the Bengals
would have been so easy. Yeah, you would have been so easy to root for Joe Burrow. It would have been
so easy for you to just go all in on the Bengals. Now, what I mean, what is your choice? You don't
have a choice. No, I think he has to root for Mahomes ankle to act up and for him to get taken
out of the game. And then Chad Hennie gets in and wins a Super Bowl. I don't think that would
matter, though. Yeah, people would still be like Mahomes won that Super Bowl because he got them
there. Yeah, I say Nick Foles won that Super Bowl, or do they say Carson Wentz won that Super
Bowl? No, but he didn't get him. He didn't play all the playoffs. It's it's truly like in in the
short short term, I probably would rather the Chiefs win just because Eagles fans are insufferable
and Max would be insufferable if they won and just watching that 22 to 1. I know you're not rooting
for me. I know you're not. That doesn't really matter. Congrats. I'm rooting for you and I know
you're not rooting for me. Well, I just wasn't going to say congrats to Max, but I know you're
not rooting for me. Cowboys, great value. Great, great value, great value.
But in the long term, the Mahomes thing will be hanging over too. So I really don't know. You're
so I got it. I'm looking at your face. So much joy. What if you just didn't watch the Super
Bowl? Like I could, you know, I easily could if I didn't have to. What about merch sales?
Company man. That's the company man. Eagles. I put like it's just then Max. Oh, my God. This is
you are really in a spot. You need to just pray that they somehow like you. I know what Hank's
going to do. He's going to be like Saints fans in whatever was 2017. He's going to hope for like
the next week that the refs call them back out on the field and like, no, no, no, the Bengals.
That didn't that was wrong. What we did. Like we had to replay the end of this game. Yeah. I think
I think kind of PFT is probably the closest. Like I'll probably just rock the Roger Goodell Clown
Tee all week. Yeah. That's that's what I'm back to old faithful. Yeah. But then once one of these
team wins. Oh, my God. That's the thing. So this is I will say this now because I haven't made a
decision, but I don't want the Eagles to win at all. And I specifically don't want Max to win.
I would feel bad if you lost. Yeah, because I'm not going to hedge. So like that that that there
is two very, very different things where it's like I would be reveling in Max's demise. I would not
be reveling in your demise, but I would kind of have you cut you would you would. But like
yeah, I mean, that's exciting. Wouldn't there be something magical about the fact that
Philadelphia could start off like they would have three their last three championships that
they've been in. They've lost in the same calendar year. And you could just hope for those 76ers to
make the NBA finals to have them lose in the championships. Well, they would be the Celtics
to get there. So that would be that would be in their playing good ball right now. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
Yeah, I think this is what you got. It's the chips. I don't know. You had a run. You had a run.
But it's really not. It's really short term, long term, short term. It's definitely the
chiefs, but like long term. It's not because then you'll. Yeah, like 10 years from now,
you'll be counting my kids. Yeah. And you'd be like, fuck, that's second one. I really shouldn't
have rooted for him there. Damn, it could be all your fault. This is just it's a beautiful sports
conundrum that you've got yourself in here. I think he's going to end up rooting for the
chief. I think he was. I think he's going to. I mean, we're just talking about.
You can always say Patrick Mahomes is probably not going to win six Superbowls.
Correct. Like we're only a third of the way there. If he wins this one, plus he's got Joe
Burrow to deal with who is Tom Brady and discussed earlier and Josh to go through every year. So
you can be like, you can make a bargain and say, I'll allow you to have the second Superbowl.
It's probably not going to get you all the way there. And it would still make my most bitter
enemies in pain. I honestly probably won't bet on a team just because I don't look because it's
a double loser. That's the worst. It's a lose, lose no matter what. So I don't want to have a
double loser. You have to deal with this because you wanted so badly to eat for the I do believe
in like deep down you wanted the Eagles to make it to the Super Bowl just for them to lose in the
Super Bowl. And now them losing in the Super Bowl hurts you just as much. Man. No, I mean,
oh, no, that's not true. The Eagles losing at home to a rookie quarterback. Like, yeah.
You didn't bet the Eagles alternate. No, I did. But I did. Yeah. What were the alternate
spreads? I tweeted minus 13 and a half plus three 20. Oh, nice. Easy cash. Easy cash. But
if they had lost, they should have challenged that first touchdown. But that would have been,
I would have, that would have been great. That would have been better than losing Super Bowl
at home. But whatever. Real shame. Didn't happen. Real shame. Close to happening. Well,
that's, you know, you got to feel bad. Like the 49ers never had a chance. They're never going
to know. Oh, you're going to see so many Eagles fans in Scottsdale. It's going to be the best.
Oh, they're going to be on your ass. Yeah, you might get jumped. I don't know. This isn't about
me. So I don't know. I don't know what my job is. Listen, I might jump in on the Eagles fans.
I'm just there for work. Like I'm just there for work trying to do my job. I don't know why.
22 to 1 can't just come over the top rope with a bottle right to Hank's hand.
I feel like Bosa. Yeah. No, but I'm going to be like, Oh, you'll be triggered all week.
It's going to be a great week of content. You're going to be triggered all week.
Yeah. I think you just got to go full on. Like you got to become an Eagles fan for this week.
Yeah. That's what you got to do, Hank. No. That's, that's the only way to get back at him.
It really is. You're in a bad, you're in a no win situation for sure. But if you become,
I'm just going for work. If you become Mr. Philly. No. If you become too late for that.
Too late for that. Way too late for that. My mom would disown me. Yeah. Way too late for that.
You said some shit. And they deserve every second of it. See what they did to poor Joey?
Poor Joey. Trying to go watch his brother. Yeah. So I, I mean, I was hoping that they
were going to dismantle the skycam when the wire hit that punt. Yeah. Just rip that
shit down and treat it like Hitchpot. Whatever. I'm not even going to say it. What? Say it.
They're in the streets like they won the Super Bowl. It's the fucking NSU championship.
Act like you've been there before. We have, and we did it last time too,
and then we just did it again when we won the Super Bowl. I think Philly just likes to party.
Yeah. Yeah. They just, I mean, don't, you can't tell Philadelphia not to grease up their lamppoles.
It's a tradition, Hank. Yeah. Just act, you know. I've got all the best traditions in
Philadelphia. They turn dumpsters in the hot tubs. They run into pillars on their train stations,
and they grease up their lamppoles. That city knows how to fucking throw a jam.
Partying on the street after the Eagles won, well, both after they beat the Vikings in 17 and won
the Super Bowl are the two best nights of my life. Like it is, it's, it's unbelievable.
I actually, I think, I think, I think I'd hit me. I'm rooting for the chiefs to win in a similar
game where the refs absolutely screw over the Eagles. Because then I can just be like, oh,
that was crazy. Yeah. And you can call them the fraud for winning that second ring.
And it'll just get Eagles fans so triggered because it'll be like, oh, they, they should have won.
Like they basically won, but the refs. Yeah. I think that's it. All right.
By the way, we now have alternate angles on the, um, hit out of bounds where it's their feet
collide and that's why Mahomes tripped. So if they're, now people are saying if their feet
don't collide, then Mahomes might not trip and they don't call that. Max Holman tweeted by
the way. I believe we call that, that cope. Yeah. Out of the blue just said congrats to back girl.
Yeah. Nice. Nice. No tag. No tag. No, that's fine. That's fine. That's fine. I don't need a tag.
Yeah. I don't need a tag. Um, okay. Any, I mean, we're going to have two weeks to break down this
matchup. We're going to get deep numbers on this one. I think the Eagles are going to win this game.
I'm going to get it. I'm sitting here right now. I'm going to dive into the deep numbers
over the next two days. I'm going to come back with a guaranteed winner. I like that.
What's the line out right now? It's because it moves around a lot. It kept taking back from
Eagles minus two and a half, 49 and a half. Okay. It seems like it's sticking, sticking there.
Yeah. No one believes in Patrick Mahomes. Yeah. Okay. Let's get to our interview with Eli Manning
and then we'll finish up with who's back the week after. Oh yeah. Hey, your favorite. We're going

And now here's Eli Manning. Okay, we now welcome on recurrent guest
Future Hall of Famer, two-time Super Bowl winner. It is Eli Manning and he is here with us. We have
something special that he wants to tell us about the children's place. That's why we're dressed up
for an Easter egg hunt. I don't know if you have the shirt underneath. We're all on the same team.
Oh no, you did. We're more prepared than you Eli. Wait, what team are you even on? Oh yeah,
we're the egg hunting squad. Same. So it's an awesome campaign. The Children's Place Spring
2023 campaign. What are you going to do? Are we just going to find some Easter eggs? Where are
we doing this? Let's get it going. Yeah, we got some Easter eggs. We got some football. We got
Sean O'Hara in there. Justin Tuck, Emmanuel Sandlers, Brian Westbrook. So all of them rented
their families. I give a big pep talk, get everybody fired up to go. And so it's a lot of fun. It's
obviously, you know, I think all Easter egg hunts are complete chaos. Then you throw a football
game kind of during Easter egg hunt with kids. So that's what got me excited about this campaign
and doing it. It's just, you know, doing something commercial with my kids I'd never done before,
but also with some of my great pals in the tux and the O'Hara's and their kids and families. So we
grew up going to training camps and being around each other and also a brand that you know, like
the Children's Place. Our kids wear their clothes. They do a great job. The matching outfit, like all
my son wants to do is wear a matching outfit with dad. Like what's dad wearing? I want to wear
what he's wearing. Now we can do it. Unfortunately, now I have to wear, you know, full pajamas every
night so we can match as we go to bed so I can get them to go to sleep. But we're working through
that. It sounds like a good organization we work with. It takes a lot for Big Cat and I
to put on collared shirts. So this is the ultimate show of respect. We're wearing something besides
elastic for you. Yeah. It's respect to you. You're like a little stretch. You're like a little
stretch. Yeah. I appreciate it guys. It's good stuff. You don't look good. You don't look sharp.
Thank you. Yeah. So it's great to see you. We saw you on the sideline. So, so we're taping this
Thursday. We're going to have to ask you your, your championship picks because we're going to air
it Monday. So if you're wrong, no pressure, but yeah, that will be, we'll see if you know ball,
but we did see you Saturday night at the game, Giants Eagles. And I thought to myself, we,
we work in an office with a bunch of Giants fans. Do you feel a little bad sometimes,
what you've done to the psyche of Giants fans? Because every time you, the Giants get in the
playoffs, they're like, it's, we're winning the Super Bowl because Eli did it. They, they, they
were walking around the office being like, it's just like 07 and 11. Like you can see the similarities
like Eli's fifth year when he won it and Daniel Jones. So do you feel like you've kind of like,
you maybe have raised the expectations a little too much every time the Giants get to the playoffs?
Yeah. And they're like, Hey, this is gonna be easy. Like this, we've been through this. We've
done this before. It's exactly the same. It's like Daniel Jones and you know, everything going on. But
I think everybody's feeling good and everybody's feeling real good. That's the way football
works. You're feeling great until you donate anymore. And that's playoff football. And so
obviously it was a big win the week before Minnesota and getting that one. But they just,
they ran into a, a Philly, a Philly team that's playing really good football. They're, they're
good at home. Jalen Hurts, you know, seems to be back and healthy and, and they're just,
they're good on offense or good on defense. They got a great roster and coaching staff. So
unfortunately just kind of hit them, hit them at the wrong time.
Yeah. So we can ask it to you this way because we are going to air it on Monday.
Would you like to just say the matchups like, okay, the Bengals one, and it's going to be
Bengals against the Eagles. And then we'll say, okay, it's going to be the 49ers against the Bay.
That way we have all the bases covered and you won't look dumb. Yeah, we could cut out the ones
that you're wrong about and then we could just leave the ones you got. Perfect. Yeah, that sounds,
that sounds great. No, I think it'll, I think it'll definitely be the 49ers and the Bengals.
I think they're playing the best, the best football and it would be a great,
be a great matchup and two teams that have had a great run. They've been good for most, most of
the season. They've, you know, kind of been through some stuff, especially the 49ers with some,
some injuries and losing guys and multiple quarterbacks, but they just continue to win and
McCaffrey in the mix should be great. Now, is that, is that like a little Philadelphia hate that
you have simmering? Because it does feel like in your post career, you and your brother, Peyton,
you guys have pretty much like unanimous approval rating. Everyone likes watching you guys. You
guys are genuinely funny. You having fun. You make sports fun, but I would imagine Philadelphia
still hates your guts. Maybe New England as well. But so are you, is that the one spot where you're
like, look, I could do this media career forever, but I don't care if Philadelphia likes me. I
hate them. They hate me. We're on the same page. Yeah. I mean, there, there, there is a respect,
you know, and again, I think Philadelphia is playing, they're playing really good football. A
lot of, a lot of respect for Jalen Hertz. He came on the show. He's, he's playing unbelievable. A.J.
Brown or Ole Miss guy, Miles Sanders has played great. They're all pencil line. I mean, there's,
you go through the whole roster. There's not much of a weakness on that, on that roster.
But I just think, I think San Francisco's defense is, is really special. And I think,
you know, they, and they've got some firepower on offense and, and Purdy's playing great football.
So I just think they, they have that, you know, have that ability to, to win some games. And it's
kind of the same way, you know, since the Hattie, it's really about, it's about Joe Burrow. I think
he's just, he's playing great and the way they won last week, being able to run the ball. So you
get that mix and be able to, be able to run the ball a little bit and you get a Patrick Mahomes.
It's not a hundred percent. I think, and since the Hattie's had some, some success against them,
you know, I think gives them an edge. You've played through some pretty significant injuries
before. I don't know if you've ever played through a high ankle sprain or if an injury like that has
ever limited your considerable mobility. You're kind of a speed freak back there. But in your
experience with a high ankle sprain, I've heard that it's very serious. If you're running back,
if you're wide receiver, if you're, if you're shifting direction a lot, if you're a quarterback,
you can make it work. But when you're Patrick Mahomes, he likes to move around a little bit
back there. From, from your perspective, does he, would he be the type of quarterback that
could make it work, given the fact that he's got a pretty significant injury? Well, I mean,
if anyone can make it work is Patrick Mahomes. But I've had, I've had a high ankle sprain. I got
one, the last game of the season, one year we were not, we didn't make the playoffs. And so
it would have been like, kind of, if I would have ever had to miss a game because of an injury,
you know, if this would have happened the second and last game, you know, there would have been a
chance. This would have been, this would have been the strongest possibility. End of eventually
having to have a kind of little surgery on my ankle over it. This is maybe a little bit more than
just a high ankle sprain, but it is painful. It is sore. And, you know, Patrick Mahomes,
he obviously has the ability just to hang in the pocket and be successful and just staying there and
it can move around a little bit and make plays. But it can limit him a little bit on, on that,
you know, the unbelievable plays he makes when he does get outside the pocket and extend those
plays, whether he runs or has a little flicks for touchdown. So I think it's definitely going to
have some sort of impact on, on his, on what he can do. And now, you know, he can still be extremely
successful from staying inside the pocket. But, you know, it's going to change things a little bit.
That was a bad job on my part because again, I forgot that we're time traveling and that this
is on Monday. And so Patrick Mahomes is going to throw, go out and throw for like six touchdowns
and run for 80 yards. We're all going to look dumb. Yeah. Sorry. Eli, what was the last time you
talked to Tom Brady? The last time I'm trying, I don't know, when's the last time I talked to Tom
Brady would have been, it would have been like maybe April or March or April of last year,
kind of not, not too, not too far after he had retired and he was, he was retired at the time
before he had come back. Okay. So follow up question. Do you think maybe you should reach
out to him and be like, Hey, listen, man, we watched that Monday night football game against
the Cowboys. There's an easier way to do this. You don't have to throw the ball into the dirt and
look like, you know, you're scared for the rush. You could just self sack like I did my last year.
Like just go down, you know, cause you were the king of that. Like, you know, at the end of your
career, like, Hey, I don't want to get hit. Just go down. No, I don't, I think he's doing, I think
he's doing fine. I think every quarterback, I don't know, every quarterback, every quarterback
that's not mobile has kind of learned the, Hey, this, I'm in a bad situation. Nothing I can do.
You know, you've lost the ability to scramble some. And so you just, you avoid the, the big hit,
you avoid this, the fumble, this, you know, the sack fumble and all that. So you just got to,
you know, kind of a abort and, you know, move on to the next play and see if you can make up for
okay. So talking about age, I have a rule, a dumb sports rule that I've, I've had for a long time
that I think would make college football a lot of fun. And it is, and I saw your video with
the Chad Powers video, which was very funny. And the rule is that every school gets to have at
least one alumni on the team every single year, no matter eligibility or anything. So
you retire from the giants, you can go play for Ole Miss. The question is, and after watching
that Chad Powers video, do you think that if you played in college football this upcoming year,
would you have like a better than average season? Would you be able to just being able to like
understand how defenses work better than anyone? Obviously your arm is still good. Do you, how,
what would Eli Manning stat line be if he played for Ole Miss this season?
Yeah, I think, I think if I can make it through the season, it's been three years. So like the,
I'm not really excited about getting hit. I think that's the, I think that's when you know
it's time to retire and you made the right decision. Retiring is when you watch a football game
and you see some of the hits, you're like, Oh, that looks like, that looks painful. That looks
like, Oh, that looks like that would really hurt. Like I don't want to be in that situation anymore.
So it's just the, the hitting when I was playing, like it's like, you're just didn't even see the
hits. So you didn't think about it. You're like, Oh, that's not bad. He should get up. Like that
guy's being a whip. Now it's like every hit you're amazed that people can get up after it. And that's
when you know it's, it's, it's time to be done. But I think I could be in college. I could go in
there and still be pretty successful. I wouldn't have to run the rush of the defense line is not,
is not as bad. You could really, you know, get to a lot of good plays
and with your checks and this knowledge. So I think I could go out there and, and have a pretty,
a pretty successful year in college. Yeah. And it would, I mean, if that was available to you
after you retired for the giants and especially now with NIL, if Ole Miss, you know, a couple
boosters got together and like Eli, let's do one last run, you know, last run. Yeah. Like 40 mil
to play for Ole Miss for one season. I'm in. I mean, imagine that go back to college. Yeah.
Fast. Yeah. I could go like to the bars and stuff and hang out. Yeah. Yeah. Imagine that
quarterback room. It would be all Chad. It would be Chad Powers, Chad Kelly. Yeah. Yeah. You and
swag finally teamed up together. Let's go. How great would that be? We do love the Manning
Cast. We watch it almost every time it's on a Monday night game. It's the first one that I
always check in on. And it's been refreshing to watch you and Peyton on there. You guys do a
good job. You feature a lot of very funny tweets on there. And maybe one thing you could add in
the future that I think a lot of people would appreciate is if you were allowed to cuss on
there. I know Marshawn's dropped some F bombs. I know you did the double birds, one of these.
But I think that there should be like an all profanity allowed version of the Manning Cast.
Is that something that you can talk to ESPN about? Oh, I mean, I don't think ESPN is on a
go for. It's kind of part of the Disney kind of the family friendly idea. We've had, you know,
a few Peyton, Peyton's cursed a few times. It's a pretty good deal. If anybody curses,
Peyton has to apologize, which I enjoy. So I encourage, I tell the guys, yeah, go ahead,
say a few Peyton, Peyton, you know, we'll make it all, all fine at the end. So it,
but I don't think we want to get too, too filled up with, with cursed words. I think the occasional
one kind of makes it, makes it fun. Yeah. Like, I like the occasional, what doesn't have to be
like rated R, but maybe like a solid, a solid PG 13 would be good on there.
A PG 13. Yeah, we can maybe work, we can work with that. I've noticed that he gets,
he gets absolutely disgusted with clock management when you guys are watching those games. There's
nothing that'll make him more sick than like Nathaniel. Yeah, that's just pet peeve, pet peeve,
bad clock management, not taking timeouts. When, you know, when the Broncos, when he called 77
timeouts, he's like, I think I should take a timeout. Timeout. He's like, kept doing it.
You can jump in there and call a timeout. Does that irritate you or do you have your own pet peeve
that you, you can't stand when coaches mess up? I think I see it. I see it. I just don't react
quite the same way that he does. Like he has to stand up. He, he starts biting the football.
He like, he gets very jittery and just like, I think he, it's, it's like watching
like your kid in a sporting event and you want to help them so bad that you just don't know what
to do. And I think that's how he feels anytime he watches an offense and they're not managing
the clock well and not taking a timeout or not spiking. It's just like, what are you doing? If
I were in there, I need to be in there and I need to handle this because I could do it much better
than what they're doing. Yeah. So speaking of the man and cast, um, you've had a lot of great
guests. Has there been anyone you've been starstruck by? Because I remember I found an old story
that you said the only time you've ever been starstruck is Kevin Federline. You asked him for
a picture has that, is that still the case? Is it still K fed is the only one that you had a lump
in your throat to ask for a picture? Yeah. That was, that was my picture. That's why I had to get
one of K fed, um, you know, at the time. And so yeah, no, no, no starstruck. Um, I mean, I was,
I was probably the most nervous around, um, uh, Barack Obama, you know, a president, like you're
interviewing a president. Like I should not ever be interviewing a former president of the United
States. That shouldn't happen. But he was, he was also super friendly and outgoing and obviously
loves, loves sports and football. So it's, it's fun to see the passion, uh, of these, of these
people, whether it's Snoop Dogg or him talking about the Steelers or kind of Lisa Rice and
her passion for the Browns, like it really comes out. Um, and, and that's awesome to see. And, uh,
so, you know, I look forward and, and, and some of like, I didn't, you don't know, you don't know,
you know, I didn't know there had such a passion for some of these teams and to hear their stories
and some of their favorite players from when they were growing up is, is really neat.
Yeah. We're team Eli, or at least I am. I think, I think you're way better on television than
Peyton. You look better too. You've got that. That doesn't take much. Thank you. You're smarter,
got a better head of hair. Yeah. You got it all. True. True. How's your golf game right now?
Go, I mean, it's, it's tough. I'm in the, I'm in the winter. I mean, I'm every weekend, I'm at
hockey practice and hockey games every Saturday and Sunday. So there's not a whole lot of golf
being played around New Jersey right now. So I'd say the golf game is, um, it's in question right
now. So, you know, hopefully get some, get some golf kind of in the spring and get back, get back
going. I think I'm a, I'm thinking I'm a seven or eight handicap right now. So I have a funny
random story, but what's your best score at Shinnecock? I'm a best score at Shinnecock. Um,
I think I broke, I think I've broke 80 there. Maybe a 77, you know, just barely 78, 79.
Mine was 72. That's neither here nor there, but, uh, and I'm not going to, I'm not going to dox this
person because he's a private citizen, but I played, I was, I was lucky enough to play Shinnecock
with a friend of yours who looks identical to you. And the whole, you know who I'm talking about.
And it is weird that you, you've won like club tournaments with him too. You just go around,
Eli has a doppelganger and he's a very good golfer and Eli teamed up with him and he just goes
around winning club tournaments around the New York, New Jersey area with Eli's doppelganger.
It's crazy. Yeah. It kind of, it freaks people out. It's not that we're playing better than
everybody. They just like, they don't know, you know, who is who they, we get accused of cheating.
It's like, wait, did Eli hit that shot? No, that was my pal. He hit there. Like I think we're
switching in the middle of the round. And so we definitely look alike. We wear matching outfits
for all our tournaments. And it just, it just kind of, it takes a little, about a little time to get
used to it. And by that time we got a little lead and we can hold on to it. Yeah. It's a great ruse
to just be like, you see two Eli's and they're both very good at golf. It would irritate me so
much if I spent the entire week getting mentally prepared to take on Eli Manning. And then it
just gets doubled at the last minute. It's doubled. Exactly. We kind of say the same things. We're
talking the same accent. Yeah, exactly. It's very smart. I should have said this when, you know,
me and Beckett are team Eli when it comes to Eli vs. Peyton, but we just had Julian Edelman on the
show and I know he's been on the Manning cast and he reminded us we should actually be, we think
your mom doesn't get enough shine. We think people talk too much. Well, I mean, your dad obviously
great career, but you won a Super Bowl. Peyton won a Super Bowl. Your dad didn't win a Super Bowl.
Where do you think those championship genes came from? Your mom's side? No doubt. She was a hoops
player. You know, that's where we get the hype from. She's, you know, six foot, had a little hook
shot. She was unstoppable in basketball. So that's where we get, that's where we get our vision,
just seeing the court, you know, and, you know, my mom was the best. She was our ultimate
fan and supporter. She didn't care if we won or lost. Just had a cold beer for us and a hug
after every game. And so, and she, she's, bless her heart. She's had to watch more football games
and Little League baseball and basketball games and any, any, you know, lady should ever have to do.
And so she's, she's, she's the best. I'm the baby. My mom and I are very close. I talked to her,
you know, I feel like every day, maybe every other day, might miss a few in there, but
she's, she's, you know, if it weren't for her, I think Tom Brady would probably have at least
11 or 12 Super Bowl. Yeah. Right. That's what I'm saying. She doesn't get enough credit, I think.
Yes. We need to start the conversation to change that. You, you mentioned the cold beers after a
game. I heard that, I think this story came out right after you retired, because when you were
playing, you didn't really have a lot of stories about what you were like as a locker room guy
that came out until after you stepped away from the game. And then all of a sudden people like,
yeah, Eli would just pack a six pack of beer on the back of the bus after every game and just pass
it out and just, just drink beer with the boys on the way back from the games. Is that something,
was that a true story? Did you used to do that every single time? Yeah, for all the away games,
you know, I think I can, I can talk about it now. I don't think it's quite street legal. I keep
it on the, on the DL, but you know, just kind of had, had, had a relationship with the, with
some of the locker room attendants at the away stadiums. I kind of had the NFC lockdown, Peyton
had the AFC lockdown. So no matter where you, where you were, you know, you kind of go sign a
few autographs, give a tip, and I might have a 12 pack for you that you could go in the back and,
you know, hand out to my offense alignment and the guys who sat back there. So I think after,
after just a long week, a lot of preparation, just being dialed in, go, go compete your tail
off for, for three hours in a game. You know, it's a pretty good, pretty good feeling just to,
you know, have one or two cold beers with, with your pals and the guys you just,
you know, competed with. And, and that was kind of my gift to them. They, they, you know,
especially the offensive linemen, linemen, they earned it, they worked for it. They needed it,
you know, kind of help with some of that soreness and just be able to relax for,
for a few minutes on the way home. All right. So I have a couple more questions.
We're wearing these outfits and Eli's got his shirt on for the children's place,
which is an incredible, incredible initiative they're doing. So the Easter egg hunt is going
to be awesome. The 2023 campaign is going to be great. He's got a bunch of his friends
doing it with him. It's going to be a great, great thing. So get excited for that. So Eli,
my second, last question. Arch at Texas, you were great at blocking out the noise
in your career, in a big media market as an uncle. Is it going to be a little difficult
to block out the noise that you hear on his behalf? And what I'm really leading to is,
I think it'd be a great story if you and Peyton maybe started some burner accounts and started
defending him online. That would just blow up the internet. If Peyton and Eli had a bunch of
burner accounts, just getting in the comments section, being like, you guys don't know ball,
he's playing well. What's the strategy here? Knowing it's a little different than you. It's
your nephew. Yeah. I think, I think we've put enough pressure on this kid just by, you know,
what we've done and Peyton and I in our careers and in Arch, just everyone assuming that,
you know, he's just sort of following our footsteps and making it to the NFL and having
an unbelievable college career. So I think the more we can just, you know, let him be,
let him try to figure this thing out. Let him be a college student for a year. I mean,
he's already enrolled. He's in Austin right now, working out with the team. So he's working hard,
trying to learn what he needs to do to get better and get on the field. And, you know,
but for me, it's just, I'm excited for him. I'm excited for him to be in college. I mean,
it's such a great experience to go play college football, you know, the pals he'll make, the
friends, the great games he'll be a part of. I just, I look forward to watching him. And if I
can ever be a resource for him and help him out in any way, I want him to know that, but I don't
want to ever make anything more difficult for him to have to answer a question about something I said
about him. So I'm a hundred percent, a hundred percent, you know, support and just want him to
do well and have fun. Okay. So I didn't hear it outright. No, no, come on. Come on. All right.
Why didn't you hear it for Peyton? All right, I'll do it. I'll defend him. I'll create him.
I'll be a dog. I'm a junkyard dog on the internet. I'll create a burner account. This is like
totally not Eli. Yeah. Totally not our uncle. I did think it was a nice touch. How it was just
a coincidence. How when he paid his official visit to Ole Miss, they spray painted the end
zone manning for you. That wasn't for him at all. Right. That was just a hundred percent.
Perfect timing. All right. So my last question, it's actually a guest question. So Eli's doing
great work with the children's place. It's awesome. Everyone, everyone check it out. The
Easter egg hunt is going to be a great initiative. I thought let's do something good here. Tommy,
who works with us, is a diehard giants fan. I asked him actually on Saturday, Eli, I said to him,
where does Eli rank in terms of most important people in your life? And he said Eli Manning's
number one, his parents are number two. So I wanted Tommy to be able to ask you a question. So
Tommy is here. He's going to ask you. He's a diehard giants fan. You are the most important
person in his life. I thought we would do that for him. So Tommy, go ahead. What's up, Tommy?
First of all, thank you for everything. My question is just there's a story of you and Yogi
Berra. You sang New York, New York together at an Italian restaurant in New York City, which is like
fan fiction porn to like a Yankee giant fan. I want to know if you have any other stories like that,
of you and other New York athletes just hanging out and just like being awesome and cool in New
York City and getting like a really cool perk that would just make all of us feel really happy.
I'm trying to think. I don't know if I have any other cool ones. I hung out with Derek Jeter
two times. Actually, the first time I ever met Derek was after my rookie year and he invited me
down to his golf event in Tampa and I'm down there and like I'm and so kind of a guy said,
hey, come down. You know, I was like, well, I want to come down. I think I get down earlier
on Sunday early morning because Peyton's playing a playoff game. He's like, yeah, come on down.
Like we'll all be watching the game. And so I kind of get there like, you know, like just go to
in the Derek's house. They'll be watching the game. And like I go in there and no one's there.
And it's like silence. I'm like, we're always watching the game. And I'm just I watched the
game by myself. And then Derek comes out like got dressed and ready to go to his event that night.
And I like meet him for the first time. I'm just in his house, like hanging out watching the game.
I'm like, oh, hey, Derek, I'm alive. Just been watching the game in your house. Thanks for letting
me, you know, be here. It was very, very awkward. He's like, why, why are you here? Like who invited
you? Are you, are you, you know, you said, do you know Wayne Gretzky and like Jordan and, you
know, Dave Winfield are all here? Like, why are you at this event? I don't think the guy who won
one game and NFL deserves to be here. Oh, thanks. Thanks Derek. He was nice. He was awesome. That's
how I felt. I did not deserve to be there. I felt very awkward about it, but that was my introduction
to Jeter. Oh, that's good. Yeah, that'll do it. Yeah. Tommy's gonna be dreaming about that for
the rest of the day. So you, you made his wish. Um, everyone do check it out. Uh, the children's
place and Eli, they're doing an awesome, awesome campaign, the Easter egg hunt and a bunch of his
friends. We got it. We're the, we're the egg hunt team. Eli, thank you so much. Always fun to have
you on man. Thanks guys. Y'all look great. Keep up the college shirt. If you need some more
children's place clothes, y'all can be matching. They're a big family matching. So you're, you're,
you're, you should do that. We should just always match when we do this podcast. Yeah,
we will. We'll start doing that. And yeah, good luck on Shinnecock this year. See if you can get
a 72. Awesome. I'll work on it. Good plan. Good round. Eli Manning is brought to you by Norton

Hank? I'm just so happy that you're so miserable. My who's back of the week though did
did bring me some sports joy this weekend. Good. A little light and otherwise very dark weekend.
LeBron, he's back, crying, crying in the media. Saturday night, one of the most entertaining
games I think I've ever watched, Lakers, Celtics, end of the game, Papev, our co-worker, go listen
to Papev, show he did an instant reaction. He hit a huge three to take him up and then he dunked
for the first time since like 2019 or something. Yeah, they put the stat on the screen and said
first dunk since 2019. Yeah, I was, I was, he had hops. It was, it was insane. Like the three was
like kind of funny as I go. Papev, then I was like, oh my God, Papev's going to win this game.
This is going to be brutal. I'm not to listen to that. I'm not to listen to Ron and then fucking
Eagles. Well, you didn't know that Eagles had won at that point. Right. And also the Chiefs had won.
Right. Game, game coming down in the last few seconds LeBron gets the ball. Might have gotten
fouled by Jason Tatum and then proceeded to throw. The game was tied. The arm is part of the ball,
right? Well, the same exact thing happened to Robert Williams two nights ago. Oh, okay.
The Reggie Miller was like great block to end the game. Reggie Miller was the worst. Jake,
actually, you know what? We should, we should reinstate the official call of the week and make
it that no call against LeBron, that referee. You gotta let the boys play. Yeah, let them figure
out on the court. We have the vacated graphic ready to go. Okay. Yeah, no, vacate it, vacate it. It's
a mix of football and basketball. No, vacate it, vacate it. But if honorable mention to that no
call. Yeah. Okay. LeBron proceeds to throw the biggest temper tantrum. I've ever seen a player
throw. He literally was yelling, hitting his hand, fell to his knees and then was like doing
like a downward dog crying on the ground for 20 minutes before overtime. The game was tied, by
the way. They lost in overtime. Russell Westbrook was is it was so funny. They were running the
offense through Russell Westbrook. He missed like three layups, a couple threes. Lose the game and
just, you know, obviously, you forgot the funniest part. Oh, Pat Bev. Yeah. After the foul, Pat Bev
in between the regulation and overtime, grabbed a camera, went up to the referee with a picture
of the foul, showed to the ref, got teed up, which is, you know, Pat Bev, obviously go listen to
the Pat Bev show. They talked about it, but it was one of the funniest things I've ever seen a
player do. I was like, we, me and Peter together, I was, I was in tears laughing. It was very funny.
Of all, you know, LeBron, I would say he's had our number, especially in the garden for the last,
I don't know, five or six years, maybe a little bit more. So to have that image that will last
forever. Every time he, you know, has a bad game, every time he's crying, they're going to resurface
those images. So to have that happen, you know, at the, at the garden was a very, very nice Saturday
night treat for me. It was one of those things we saw it. I was dying, laughing real time,
went on from the bar, watch it like 10 more times, laughing, woke up this morning, watched it a
bunch more. It was just a great, great, you know, regular season, but later Celtics, it means more.
It was LeBron's temper tantrum and he had a fair gripe because he was fouled on the last play,
but boy, you cried wolf. Holy shit. That was him collapsing to the ground. I couldn't believe
when they're like huddling up, getting ready for overtime and just staying there for, it was a solid
30 seconds. Yeah. I think that he was there for almost a full minute. Yeah. Just like on the ground,
hands and knees crying, just weeping into the hardwood. Just inconsolable. It was great. It was
very funny. Yeah. It was, it was a very enjoyable January NBA basketball. Did you guys see the
official comment from official NBA refs? Yes, I did see that. Like everyone else, referees make
mistakes. We made one at the end of last night's game and that is gut-wrenching for us. This play
will weigh heavily and cause sleepless nights as we strive to be the best referees we can be.
They should have started with America. Let's talk. They should have. That would have been great.
They should have had like just posted a picture of them at the time while they were tweeting it
because it's definitely Rich Paul with a gun to their head as they're sitting there.
LeBron James definitely hit up NBA officiating was like, I need a public apology. I need people
to know that you guys screwed that up. And the Lakers need everyone they can get to. They're
not. Yeah, no. They're in a bad spot. Although they're actually weirdly, the west is so wide open.
I think they're only like two games out of out of the play in game, which I I'm starting to
sour on the play in game. We could talk about that later, but like the bulls, for instance,
are just not good. I don't want to see them losing a plate. Like they base the NBA rigged it so that
everyone has a chance so that everyone can stay invested. But it's like, no, you really have a
chance. Nobody really has a chance. Yeah. You don't really have a chance. Like this is. Yeah,
they are right now two games out of the 10th seed and they're 23 and 27.
Yeah. I mean, the playing game, the other probably funniest moment in the last couple
years of the NBA was was PAPEV celebrating after they won the play game. I guess that gives us
those moments. I mean, shout out to PAPEV. That that truly the dunk. I was I went from like, oh,
this is funny. PAPEV, you know, shout out to the PAPEV. And then I was like, oh my God,
we're going to lose to PAPEV. And then it was just it was a it was a great night. And then getting
a great night of basketball, getting a technical foul called on you for bringing a camera onto the
court to show incredible. Well, those that's like, you know, you it's like,
Leo, you see the memes, those that that is going to last forever. Every time there's any call.
Yep. With anything, it's going to be that picture. And then LeBron doing the downward dog
pose crying on the floor will last forever too. It was awesome. It was incredible.
All right, PFT. I got a couple who's backs, if that's cool. My first mine though, my first
who's back is Mike McCarthy. Okay, yes. Mike McCarthy is back in a big way because they
are moving on from Kellen Moore. That's a nice way of saying they fired his ass. He's the just
the latest in a long series of Wonder Boys for the Dallas Cowboys that have been expected to inherit
the head coaching position at some point, that just end up sucking ass. Yep. So Kellen Moore is
gone. And Mike McCarthy is saying that he's going to now take on play calling rules. So this is
awesome. If you know us as a as a fan of Mike McCarthy's lore, really, we just appreciate his
background story. Mike, he loves doing this. He loves switching up play calling duties as a way
to like pass responsibility. So he's going to go through the season. He'll be like, okay,
the problem was I wasn't invested enough in play calling. So I'm going to call the plays
and probably halfway through the season, he'll be like, you know what, I realize I'm taking on
too much. So we're going to give somebody else the play calling do so I can focus on my job as a
head coach more. Yeah, he did this in Green Bay all the time. And it's yeah, it's also just,
it's the beginning of the end. And if it's when you get this job, they're basically saying now
you have to fucking do this. And you're going to sign it's shuffling the deck chairs on the
Titanic. Yes, if there's one thing Mike McCarthy does not need, it's another thing on his plate.
Great. My other who's back is the Suns. Oh, the Suns are back. Because AJ titties is back on
Twitter and she's pregnant. Yeah, pregnant as hell. And so the speculation is, okay,
is this Devin Booker's? Is this not excuse me? PFTs means PFTs. I can accurately report that I
did not have sex relations with that woman. Miss titties. It was funny. He did want to go shoot
a video there. It would have been a very funny video on Thursday. PFT like popped up out of his
desk. He's like, Oh, AJ titties is back on Twitter. I was like, Oh, okay. I know. Can we talk about
how you just don't have a desk chair and you just lie down on a cooler now? Yeah, I got my Yeti
cooler there because I'm a fucking I'm a man. And so I just sit on my cooler that's stocked to the
brim with soup and C4. That's like what men do in office environments. Enjoy your little office
chair with your ergonomic back design. Mr. C. Yeah, I come down like there. No, and then I walk over
was like, No, he's there. He's just lying. Yeah, no, there'll be times when I'm like what, like,
I'll be talking to him and then I won't realize he left because I he's usually like laying down.
I've been dealing with some back issues recently and lying down horizontally on my on my Yeti
cooler is the only way for me to feel comfortable at work sometimes. But no, yeah, like a couple
hundred people tagged me and AJ titties thing was like, Hey, she's back and she's pregnant. Is it
yours? Not mine. Not my type. Sorry. But it might be. I'm a butt guy, but it might be can't get
butt babies. But it might be. All right, my who's back is we already mentioned them. But our friend
Max Houma, he won the fifth major, the farmers insurance open just the most Max Houma thing
to do. And he is actually becoming like an incredible golfer. I think he's won the most.
I think he's won the most tournaments in the last like year and a half on tour 36.
So he's like, he's legitimately a very, very good golfer last 25 months. No one has more
PGA tour wins than okay. So, so here's the thing, like we love Max. Max. We love having him on
the show. We discovered Max. We discovered Max. Yeah, he would be nothing without us.
I do root for him very hard. I bet on him a lot. But with that said, it is also our job because
a lot of other pot. I mean, Max is a podcast slut. He goes on any podcast and they'll all suck
his dick. We are the ones we're like his true friends that will keep him honest. So in order to
keep him honest, uh, his hat tans sucked. So he took off his hat and it was just like
Stuart sync level bad to of course Max Houma won a tournament when the final round was on a Saturday.
Can't, he can't win on a Sunday. It's a Saturday and three, it was during football season. So we
all know like this is when he wins tournaments when we're all focused on football and he's like,
Oh, let me sneak in this tournament went. So that's my way of keeping him humble. Yeah. Well,
and also he, uh, he probably wouldn't have been able to win if it was on a Sunday after
the Lakers lost on Saturday. That would have that would have affected him way too much for him to
even think about going on a golf course. So we're just the ones who keep him, you know, we got to
keep his feet in the ground so that he can, I want him to win in Augusta. When he wins in Augusta,
I will say I will tip my cap and be like, Max, you're pretty good at this golf thing. You know
what? I'm banning. I think we should ban Max Houma from the podcast until we can do an interview
with him in person. I think we are at Super Week. Yeah, no, that was okay. It was gonna be like,
it was gonna be like a five day ban. We're not going to run it for a while. Yeah. All right.
So we're gonna ban Max Houma's voice from appearing on this podcast for at least several weeks. Yes.
Got it. All right. Sorry. Tough love. I am a little bit uncomfortable with how good Max is
getting at golf though. I know it was a lot more fun when he sucked and we could just be like,
Hey, you're the funny guy on Twitter. You got a great personality. Yeah. And now he's hot. So
it's left us in quite the conundrum. Well, it's because the problem is we're, he's now like,
he's kind of outgrown this shitty little podcast. And I don't say little, but like the shitty
podcast like where we don't know anything about sports and we don't know anything about golf
especially. And now that he's like actually good at golf, like he's going to start hanging out with
like really good golfers and shit. It's like, fuck man. People that have their lives together.
Yeah. I saw that he did a life advice thing with Ryan Howard. Yeah. And he was just basically like,
yeah, you should just get better at golf and win some tournaments. And that's my life advice.
But that didn't work. Yeah. It worked for him. Fuck. We got to keep him humble though. Yeah.
Yeah. That tan on your head. Also, I'm not a fan of the beard. Yeah. It looks a little perverted.
Also, hey dude, if I can get this thrown my way every time I'm on a gambling stream,
hey, how about stop playing golf all weekend and be with your child? Oh, there you go. You know,
what the fuck? All Saturday, you're going to golf. You're not going to be with your kid at all.
Yeah. Or maybe get a real job. Max. I think his kid was at the 18th grade. Yeah. But Dave,
was he paying attention to him? No. Yeah. Okay. So kid probably doesn't even know Max's name.
Yeah. He should save the wins until he's older, right? By the way, my son has learned my name
and it's a problem because he says it and I'm like, fuck, dude, you can't do that. Big? Yeah.
Big. He was like, he was like, he was like, he was like, Dan, I want something. I was like,
what the fuck? What are you doing? This is not okay. So yeah, that's a, that's a disaster. I
don't think I've ever called my dad by his name. Yeah. It's, it's, it's not, it's very uncomfortable.
It's always Mr. Marlins. But he knows, like, he knows it's a joke. So he giggles every time. I'm
like, God damn it. He's got me. He got me. Billy. My who's back is Baker Mayfield's arrest footage.
It went viral again after Stetson Bennett got arrested for a drunken disorderly. And honestly,
that made Stetson Bennett go up in my draft board. Yes. Yeah. It's a tough break for Baker. He's like,
he hasn't done shit. Wait a second. This guy got me to trend online. Yeah. I don't mind like,
if you're Stetson Bennett, what's stopping you from just getting absolutely hammered? He's in
the middle of maybe the biggest case of senioritis of all time. And it's well deserved.
Like he has lived his best college life. There's no way he's doing class for a while. No,
no, he's taking classes for 25. He probably graduated six years ago. It was in Dallas. So
I think there was probably some TCU fans involved. Oh, police department. By the way, Billy, did you
see DeMar Hamlin did a video proving that he's alive? So did you, did that put everything to rest?
I played the part, but I didn't actually believe it. But for the sake, people are saying
It's good satire. Yeah, yeah. That the tattoos don't line up. Oh, the new tomorrow. Okay, got it,
got it. Hologram technology. Yeah. Well, deep fakes exist. I couldn't help but notice that
in the video that he put out, there were lots of cuts and edits. Yeah. So people are saying that
the battery of the clone had to be changed. That's why they had to do all those different
shots of it. Yeah, I do think tomorrow is going to do a video once the bill season ended. But it
did suck watching it being like, I bet there was a small part that he had to do this because
people were saying that he's actually dead. Oh, yeah, no, for sure. Yeah, no, his manager definitely
has to have a word with him. He's like, Hey, I know, I know this is stupid. But yeah, some people
think that you're you've ever leavened yourself. Yeah. Yeah, the billies of the world have made
DeMar Hamlin actually speak so that people like, Oh, he's not dead. Well, how could Billy as somebody
who I didn't actually think I know you don't. I know there's other things I totally believe
it, but that was definitely you believe in way stupidest stuff. Yeah, yeah, no, yeah. But if
okay, putting yourself into the mind of somebody that actually does believe that he's a clone,
what could DeMar do or say for those people to acknowledge? Okay, this might actually be legit
him. I think he did. He's proved it. You're good. The tattoos. But the tattoos. That's
what people are taking. There's like an old video before he got a couple set of tattoos.
Yeah, you're not. Dude, I'm not doing it. For some reason, this new for you for you page on
Twitter pops up a ton more of like conspiracy stuff for me. Yeah. So it's in your brain.
It has nothing to do with what you actually click on. This is like early days of Barstool when
Google ads started like ramping up. And I remember there was a commenter one day was like,
anyone else getting dildo ads on Barstool? And I was like, dude, that's because you've
been searching for dildos. That's what that that's what's happening here. There was a dude that did
that. He's like, the Google is now like messing with masculinity in America because it keeps
serving me ads for these gay cruises. Yeah, dude. Okay. All right, so Billy, he's he's alive. Yes.
And also who's back? I just like to give a thank you to Max, Evan and memes. The video hit 100k.
Hell yes. I watched it was great. It was actually legitimately very good job for all of you. Billy,
everyone who edited it. It was I was very proud of you. Thank you. Yeah. I'm honestly just very
thankful because these guys made it look amazing. Like Billy, you're learning. I'm just saying you're
growing. It was I watched it was like, this is awesome. So what are you going to get them? Are
you going to present or something? Yeah. I mean, they deserve a bonus. They do. So what are you
going to get them? We're going to figure that out. We're going to the Bahamas. That's what we're
doing. What? We're going to the Bahamas. Just just for what? Hear me out, boys. Hear me out, boys.
Wait, why are you going to Bahamas? It's going to be cool. Memes knows. Memes knows. Get up here and
say it. He has an idea. I want to hear it. So here's here's the idea. Billy McFarlane from
Firefast wants to fight and fire in rough and rowdy. Billy football is interested in fighting
Billy McFarlane potentially. And I think our Billy would beat the shit out of Billy McFarlane.
I just what is Bahamas? I just panicked. I just panicked. Well, we got to go investigate what
really happened. So Billy McFarlane, we don't know the documentary we watched didn't tell us.
I need to hear how bad he is of a person convinced me to beat his ass. Billy McFarlane owes money
to people in the Bahamas, restitution. And so Billy or Billy will be fighting on the on behalf
of the Bahamas. So you're going to pay all these people with your winnings. Wow. Billy McFarlane
is. Billy McFarlane is. Billy McFarlane is. So if you fight rough and rowdy, you are giving all the
people in the Bahamas that are owed money your purse. No, Billy, other Billy McFarlane. No,
I heard you're going to wish you're not giving your purse to them. Nope. So you're taking money.
That's tough. You're taking money from the people of the Bahamas. No, I just sort of panicked my way
into thinking of a gift to get these guys and just walk myself into a fight. Yeah, you definitely
weren't thinking about the Bahamas before this. I wasn't. Yeah. Okay. All right, Jake. It was at
the top of your mind for Billy talks even more. He's going to get himself an even worse situation.
All right, you would kick his ass. Jake. Oh my, who's back? Your guy, Big Cat Novak Chokovic.
He's done it again. He won his 10th Australian Open. He is now tied with raw fun at all. 22 men
singles Grand Slans. 23. I mean, they kicked him out of Australia last year. One year ago,
deported this year champion. 23. That's crazy how much he changed in a year. Our guys should beat
him in the quarter finals or whatever. Tommy Paul. Tommy Paul. And the semis. He made the semis.
He put up a great run. He did. Can he play, I guess? There we go.
Seven, five, six, one, six, two over Tommy Paul. Say that again. Seven, five, six, one, six, two.
That's the goat. That's the goat. Wait, wins the French Open because
Rafa was the only one. It's around like Memorial Day early summer. So we can chalk
Rafa up for one more. So he wins one more and he's the goat officially. All the, all you suckers
after? Well, next, next is Roland Garros. So it'll most likely be. No, Rafa's going to win. Yeah,
he's kind of old. So then Wimbledon can tie it up. Yeah. And then US Open will be the
determinant. God, what a year for my goats. Yeah. Messy. So yeah, 10 Australian Opens.
It's crazy. Remember when you were a Ronaldo guy? Hank, Hank has not had a worse sports year.
He picked up Ronaldo. Every pick you've made has been bad. Yeah. You're a Cowboys Ronaldo fan.
With the minor in the Vikings. Oh, with the minor in the Vikings. Yeah, got a semester abroad with
the Vikings being a Minnesota fan. All right. Let's do random number generator. I say this
doesn't count towards the pot and doesn't count towards Hank getting it, but we got to do a
number for the people. I don't, that's fine. Six, 17 memes saying three. Evan, what do you got?
Memes can pick three here. Yeah. I'm going back in the play.
72. 69. Max, what do you got? 20. 22. 22. That would have sucked. So are we counting this in the?
No. Not even. But we have to do it for the people. Because it's a vacant. Yeah, it's a vacant. Another
vacant. Yeah. We could do two. You know what? We'll do two on Wednesday. We'll make two official
on Wednesday. Give Hank another shot. How many shots have you had at this point? We've been doing
this for like two or three hundred. Yeah. I thought it was moving. I think it's statistically now
same as getting it like 11 or 12 times. Wow. That's just no, no, no, no. I actually, Billy,
I agree. I did. I agree with what Billy just said. No, seriously. No, seriously, there's zero. It's
it is. It's like 0.99 to the whatever's power. Oh, when you put it, no. No, it is. No, it's not.
No, I've been checked. I've said it a bunch of times and someone on Twitter keeps saying it. I know
that you've been checked. There's no way. It's true. We'd say it again slowly. It's more like
that I would have gone in 11 times than zero. Yeah. No. Yeah. Look it up. No. You have a one
in a hundred chance. Also, we forgot to say Tuesday is the bowling. So everyone tune in. Oh,
all day. Ten a.m. Eastern. Ten a.m. Eastern. Is it on the Barstool YouTube? Barstool YouTube.
Or part of my take. Part of my take YouTube. Subscribe to it. All day. We got a very special
guest. A few special guests. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Well, we can say one of them. Stu's going to be there.
It's his birthday as well. PFT and Stu share a birthday. So Tuesday, birthday week, coming up big.
I've been pretending this like wasn't happening. Yeah. No, we know. We sat down and we're like
Tuesday and you're like, oh, I thought it was Thursday. Billy's got to go to the Bahamas. He won't
be able to make it. They turned down an opportunity to practice with us last week.
Oh, I mean, did we talk about this on Friday show? Max bold is zero. Is it an actual zero?
The lanes weren't waxed. I heard the story. But he bold is zero. Here, Max. Like every roll,
like 10 frames of zero. You should be arrested for that. I was working on stuff. I was just working
on things. I wasn't bowling for scores, you know, we'll be, we'll be all right come Tuesday. That's
promised. Okay. Well, I mean, you can't get worse than a zero.
Love you guys. Coyotes are getting increasingly larger in the Northeast with the deer population.
Research coyotes. There's someone. Max on. They're huge.
I don't know what to say. I'll say it anyway. Today is another day to find you.
Shine away. I'll be coming for your love, okay. Shine away. I'll be coming for your love, okay.
Needless to say, I'll send it, but I'll be something a little way.
Something learning my life is okay. Say after me, I feel better to be safe and sorry.
Say after me, I feel better to be safe and sorry.
Things that you say is a lot of fun. Just to play my third reason why.
You are the things I've got to remember. Be a shine away.
I'll be coming for you anyway. Be a shine away. I'll be coming for you anyway.
Say after me, I'll be coming for you anyway.

Say after me, I'll be coming for you anyway.

Say after me, I'll be coming for you anyway.
