It is Hopefully, for you, I am headed out to New Orleans. Uh Billy's not feeling well. Are you okay, Billy? I'm worried about you, man. Um I I'll be fine, I guess. I have to like 24 hours to get through this and then and hop on a bird and then once I'm on the once I land, we'll power through. Right. Once I land, if I have to be on Radio Row, you

know, with, you know, some performance enhancers, so be it. I'll do that. I have a few New Orleans related questions for you, Stugats. Okay. So you you arrive Monday or Tuesday? I arrive. I arrived shortly after we're done with this show. Gotcha. You'll be doing this show in transit and you come home Friday. Uh no, I don't come. I I do not come home on Friday. I come home on on Monday morning. Monday morning. Yes. Okay. So, you have what? Six dinners? Uh I have six. Well, no, I have five. Are you talking about in New Orleans? Yeah. I have uh I have four dinners Uh I have six. Well, no, I have five. Are you talking about in New Orleans?

Yeah, I have uh I have four dinners. I have Monday night, Tuesday night, Wednesday night, Thursday night. Yes. Okay. And how many people have you promised to have dinner with in those four dinners? So, I have four nights and I have promised

sixteen people were having dinner. Yes. That's that's kind of what I was getting at. So, I'm just wondering, are you going how many of those are getting cancelled and how many are you just gonna try and power through and have a second dinner? That's a very good question 16 dinners four nights means I need to get rid of 12 reservations God I don't know like Felica that 515 Felica Dinner that he invited me and Billy to that is that's probably getting that's probably in the kid I mean, I'm not going to count it's me, you, Felica, and Jeff the game. I have a flight. So, the time is that game at? Super doesn't start till 618 ish,

right? Uh that game's at at 1 o'clock central time, I believe in in Chicago. Yeah. So, you know, I don't want to I don't want to watch the Super Bowl in a bird. You know what I'm saying? I, you know, I wonder if that would be a bad

experience. I'll tell you this much. I I will admit this. I was on a plane yesterday and checked in on the Pro Bowl games. Yeah. I was going to watch the Pro Bowl games to be ready for today's massive recap of the Pro Bowl games where we can give our winners and losers presented by Smirnoff, world's number one vodka, please drink responsibly. And I watched the tug of war and watched two battles in the tug of war. I saw Payden telling his team, hey, if we win the tug of war, we're right back in this. And I said, you know what? This isn't for me.

Pro Bowl games. I don't think are my thing. And no one loves football more than you. I mean, nobody. Yeah, that's the purity of the game. Yeah. I think that's what purity of the game. Yeah. I think that's what it

was is no one loves football more than me and I think that's what happened is I was like this. This is not football when Jackson Smith and Jibba's out there and he's throwing multiple interceptions. We're good. Yeah. We're this you know

what? No need. I like the scoring. We scored like 140 points almost combined between the two teams. What are we doing? What are we actually doing this for at this point? So the Jets called to inquire if Jackson Smith and Jigwood can play quarterback for them. You never know Yeah, he'd be a top five Back of all time. I mean Yeah, are you looking forward to New Orleans Billy if you get there I mean I'm not sure. Interesting.

in the city, right? In Georgia? What happened? Uh I was I was in Georgia for the weekend. I was there Friday, Saturday, Sunday. Yesterday, we did a little Georgia aquarium action, flew back, got in at night and uh my family was sick the entire weekend. I was I was

doing well. I thought I had dodged it all. I mean, I thought I would get this in New Orleans and then lo and behold, it found me. So, I'll bring it up to you in New Orleans. Don't worry. I'll give you give the keeps on giving. Mike, you want some of this?

I'm good. I'm starting to think Billy. I don't want you to be a hero here. Like, I don't want you to jump on a bird unless you're feeling because we're going to a warehouse essentially of sports radio. That's where we're going. Okay. What a

warehouse it is. I know but I don't want you to like bring anything with you that's going to get everyone there sick unless it's Chris. I love the idea of I love the idea of Billy getting everybody in New Orleans. Right. Patient zero. I like that idea. Right. Yeah. It's it fits. I was thinking if there's like an outbreak or not, patient zero. Is that a good thing or bad?

Now, I theoretically wouldn't get any of the players sick because we're not going to run into any of the ones that's playing the game more than likely. You get Tom Brady sick, Tom Brady has an interview. It spreads. Yeah, it spreads. Wow. You know what I was thinking the other day? What?

I'm glad that we have this forum to discuss this, is Michael Jordan is praised for the flu game, right? Yes. Everyone's Michael Jordan. Gutsy performance, wow, what a guy, the flu game, right? Yes. Everyone's, Michael Jordan, gutsy performance, wow, what a guy, the flu game, look at him, he was there and he came out and, Yeah. You know, he was, you know, he was on his deathbed essentially and he played a game, great game, whatever, right?

Some people question whether or not he actually had the flu, but anyway, go ahead. Well, the point is, like, I feel like if Michael Jordan tried to pull that in this year, the year of our Lord 2025, he would be like severely reprimanded. Like there's none of this come to come to work this horribly sick that you're going to get everyone else sick business going on. You know what I mean? Like, I don't I don't think the flu game would

be as well received. Now I think he'd be looked at as a very selfish person. So if you're if if that game took place today, you're saying Michael calls Phil, says he has the flu and Phil says stay away. Well, not Phil. Someone else. Like someone in HR. I don't know if there's like HR. Right. I'm like MBH. He's, someone in HR would be like, hold your horses, fella. You're not coming in like that. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Michael Jordan played all those minutes with

the flu and not a single other person caught the flu. Just, it's weird. It's weird, right? It's, it's Scottie's carrying him off the court. I mean, he's sweating all over Scottie. I mean, it's great. It's odd. Uh. Chair in the Gatorade. Yeah. This is God bless football. But. Uh. Here in

the Gatorade. Yeah. This is God bless football but. Yes. But I understand what you're saying. So, Patrick Mahome somehow caught the flu from you this week. Calls Andy Reed says, Andy got the flu. What does Andy say? You can't go?

No, Andy. No, no, no, no. And then we get the dream matchup of Carson Wentz versus the Eagles. I mean. That would be great. I mean, people are clamoring for that. You know, I don't think Andy's involved in that, but I do think that like maybe the media is around it. They're like, well, this is a very selfish movie. Could have gotten so many people sick and think of all the hundreds of millions of people watching at home and what an example that setting and what if we're able to pass germs through the television

and he's gotten everybody else sick and it was just, you know, just one of those things. Uh, before we go back to football real quick for a second. So the match just gave Luca to the Lakers, huh? Like that's just how the NBA works. Now you just give someone your best player because LeBron's on your team and you're trying to like, I guess maybe win him one on the way out. Maybe boost some NBA ratings. Like, how did that just happen? you're trying to be a player because LeBron's on your team and you're trying to like, I guess maybe win him one on the way out. Maybe boost some NBA

ratings like how did that just happen? They've been talking for weeks behind the scenes and then all of a sudden, no one knew about this and he's just a Laker like that's crazy. Yeah, it's been a while but the NBA won a weekend. I mean, how about

that? Yeah, I mean, it had to be pro football. It was pro bowl weekend. It's a tug of war at the pro ball games. Had to be that weekend. Yeah. What are you asking me? How did that happen? It's just a little little shady. I want you guys to consider that the person the Mavericks chose to build around was Kyrie Irving. the only one who's to build of the Mavericks because I was gonna say no one will ever forget this guy

But I don't even remember his name. No one will remember him. But also he's a rare guy I never know ever I was gonna say he's the rare guy that no one will ever remember and no one will never forget at the same time Who is he I Was I so I saw this thing and I'm wondering how real it is because you never know with the internet. So I saw this thing that was saying I guess he was involved in the negotiations with Steph Curry when Steph was deciding between Under Armour and Nike and those negotiations went terribly and he has denied some of the allegations in said presentation but in the presentation Steph was called by the

wrong name he had a slide that had Kevin Durant's name on it and and when they did call him his name they pronounced it wrong so and they were offering significantly less than Under Armour and refused to match the money on Under Armour. So those negotiations obviously did not go well for Nike and Steph never signed with Nike and then he went on to be the face of Under Armour. So this GM was somewhere in that whole situation back in the day.

And that's where we had seen his name previous to this situation. This GM should be his name. I could give you guys a million guesses. I now know the name. You guys would never be able to guess his name ever. Is it Jeff? It's not Jeff. It's not Bob. You want to keep guessing. I love this. God bless football everyone. I to say that. I the last name. It's Steelers

Defensive End who when he took his helmet off on the sideline, this is the last name, used to have like steam coming up from his head. Nico Steamhead. Nah, close. Nico Harrison, James Harrison. Nico Harrison. Uh. The guy I was thinking of. I

knew it. I do like before we get back to football, it is Super Bowl week. I don't know why we're doing this and it's 100% my fault. Yeah. Yeah, no, it's 100% my fault. I'll bring it. I'll bring it back to football. I'll give you a winner. I'll give you a loser. Okay. For winners and losers presented by Smirnoff. My, my, my winner this week, Jerry Jones, because he's no longer the worst sports executive in Dallas. Oh, really? Yeah. Niko Harrison. That's a good one. Yeah. Hey, now you know his name. Look at you. Yeah. New, now you know his

name. Look at you. Yeah. New with the whole time. So, that's a you have you have a winner. Do you have a loser? Nico Harrison. The the the city of Dallas. Right. Yeah. Yeah. They had a week, man. Yeah. They had a week. I have a winner and a

loser. Okay. New Orleans winner. Okay. Of course. In the Super Bowl. Everyone's saying it's the and now I've never been for a Super Bowl but everyone says it is the best Super Bowl city. So, I'm looking forward to finding out why they think that. I also

have a loser. New Orleans. Mm. No one wants to coach that team. Yeah. Well, they got they gotta coach. They gotta they gotta wink wink behind the scenes deal done. They just can't. They just can't do it. Really? Really? Well, yeah, that coach, that coach might be coaching on Sunday. Well, Spanx, he might he might be he might be a little offensive

coordinator for one of the teams. And it's not Matt Nagy. Hmm. Well, luckily for them. Well, Spanx. No, no, no, no, no, it'd be great. Or less. It would be great if if they hire one of the coordinators from one of the teams and the coordinators like I am so committed to the New Orleans Saints. I'm just going to I'm going to take over right now.

You guys are going to have to find someone else to guide you through the Super Bowl, because my heart now lies in New Orleans. So, actually, you know what? If the coordinator wins the Super Bowl, they can say that they brought a Super Bowl to New Orleans before they've even taken the job. Like, I know what it's like to win a Super Bowl in New Orleans and it would actually be the truth. So, I like this last time on the field. He's holding the trophy. I get it. I think his job, right, I like this last time on the field. He's holding

the trophy. I get it. I think his job, right? The winning offensive coordinator should get the Saints job. How about that? Wow. What if you start taking the Super Bowl? Yeah. You'll have the entire city of New Orleans rooting for

Philadelphia. Kansas City wanting to lose because he wants to stay with my homes. I don't I don't want to go coach that team. We're down three touchdowns. We're on it. Up the middle. Oh god. It's crazy.

Crazy. So, it's Super Bowl week. We're headed to New Orleans. We're going to have a who's who of Gaston. I'm very much looking forward to it including funny Marco. That's going to be a good one with you and funny Marcos two guys. I don't know who funny Marco is and I also

have no idea if he's funny. I mean. Oh. Oh. You're going to get a name like funny Marco out of the blue. It's just pick that one out of the sky. It's a mess like a mess of expectation when your name is funny, right? You

better be funny, correct? Start start with that. Yeah. Alright. So, funny Marco. Super Bowl. Radio Row. Hey, it's Lucy and have you ever heard of Gold Belly? It's this amazing site that I order from all the time where you can get the most

We're headed towards New Orleans, kind of getting there, staggered arrivals, slowly trickling in. Stugas leaves after the show today. We'll get in there. He'll be there early tomorrow. I leave early tomorrow. You guys don't care about a travel schedule.

I don't know why I'm doing this. But as one does week of the Super Bowl, where we have a rematch to one of the better Super Bowls as of late. We are breaking down off air the Las Vegas Raiders and what it is that they've done this off season and what it is that they have. And you know, it's a strange time to be doing that granted, but also we're gonna have a week full of breaking down this game.

So we wanna talk Raiders. I don't see why we can't just talk some Raiders, you know, right. Bring in Chip Kelly. They brought in Pete Carroll. Tom Brady seems to be calling all the shots, which probably is going to be a disaster, but who knows? They still don't have a quarterback, but that's what their focus seems to be now headed into the draft. So a new day for the Las Vegas Raiders, Stu. It is Tom Brady is an

owner. Pete Carroll is a head coach. Chip Kelly is an offensive coordinator, no quarterback. What does that lead me to believe? They will somehow trade up to whatever they have to do to get Shador Sanders. I believe so.

I'm proud of you because in years past when you said, what does that lead me to believe you would have said Tom Brady's coming back to be the quarterback of the Raiders. That's where I thought he was going. I'm not pulling it out. I'm just, you know, I mean, but but I'm very surprised and proud of you

for not going in that direction. So, congratulations to God's growth. I'm growing up. Yes, to look at you. Hey, big day for God, didn't you? Look at our little, my little boy. No, to grow. Look me. I thought he's been fine as a broadcaster. Has been good. Has been terrible. He's gotten better. Yeah, he's gotten better. Yeah, but like I don't know. I don't know why people care so much about the broadcasters and why they

complain so much about the broadcasters like unless you're saying the wrong play or the wrong team scored or you're like completely confusing everything. He's been fine enough. Like, who cares? Honestly, I don't even really think about it at times. Like, I'll just tune into the game, especially if I'm watching

Redzone and all of a sudden I hear his voice like, huh, eh, I've watched this game for five minutes and I realized Brady was on it. Who cares? Right. You're asking why people care about us, sports media, essentially, right?

Well, no, our jobs are some of the most important jobs in the world. They put us up there. the people care about us. Sports media essentially, right? Um well, no, our jobs are some of the most important jobs in the world. They put us up there. Just winning. Just below. Right. The armed services obviously. Yeah. We thank you for your service.

Yep. Even more or less with doctors and the likes. You know what I mean? Sure. I think. Right on par. Armed services, teachers, and then like us, and then like maybe doctors, lawyers, and then like, I don't know. The people like, I can tell you who's at the bottom of the list and like, you know what? I'm not gonna tell you who's at the bottom of the list. I wanna hear who's at the bottom of the list. I kinda wanna hear. The people that write parking tickets,

they're they're down here. I'm sure they're nice people, but you friends have picked one of the absolute worst jobs. Also, actually nevermind. Go on. Call the program. Say what you want to say. Say it. No, I need it now. Say it to somebody. I got in a car accident, as you guys know, a little over a month ago. Yeah. And the driver was in his 90s. And, and when they filled out the report, they didn't issue blame to me or him because I said like, Yeah, I had a green turn arrow. So I went and the guy just completely ran a red light and like,

and drilled me. And then and then so we go we go through all the insurance and his insurance is like well he was not at fault i'm like how on earth was he not at fault and they're like well i'll last if i go i have to pay to buy the police report the police report said like well your driver a which was me said he had a steady green arrow and driver b said he had a steady green light so we don't know what happened and then back and forth with the insurance and boom i'm out now the deductible, my insurance is gonna go a ball because this 91 year old just either lied

or had no idea what color the light was while he's driving around in this giant pickup truck just ramming into people. And I will say this, and this is a controversial stance, and God bless football to all. I will say this about the 91 year old. If he lied to that police officer. Yeah. Well, one, I've I've thought,

how far do I want to push this? He's not like how. Right. How much am I going to go above the deductible that I have to pay on a principled stance? Like, should I take him to small claims court? Should I take him to Judge Judy? Like, where can we go so that I can get the justice that I feel like I deserve?

Because this is not something that's just gonna cost me my deductible. I, again, am now gonna have higher insurance for years to come because this man either didn't know where he was, what color the light was or he lied And I would say this if I get to 91 There's different ways to look at this if I get to 91 I Am going to make sure to do everything on the straight and narrow to try to

Out undo any wrongs that I had done in my life so that I don't spend the rest of my life in hell. So I'm trying to do that. So you're going to spend your 90s atoning for your sins? A life? I'm trying to, yeah, so that I'm definitely not adding to the list that you know take me to the the great

beyond where there's fire and you know there's brimstone there but where the fire is you know what I mean? Like I'm not going to be lying in my 90s and trying to punch my ticket to the the great beyond where there's fire and you know, there's brimstone there but where the fire is, you know what I mean? Like I'm not going to be lying in my 90s and trying to punch

my ticket to the afterlife downstairs. You know what I mean? To see our brials. Yeah. Well, thanks for bringing it back to football because it is super. Wait, I have a rule here. First off, if you're 91, you should not be driving. Automatically, you win the case. You do. I did want to send somewhat of a lippy email back to the person that said this is denied

and say, guys, you are the ones in a reckless year by ensuring this man who should not be on the road. 100. This should not be going on, right? He's a 91 year old man driving a pickup truck. Yeah. Yeah. I mean guilty. Well, what's he going to be driving a minivan? You're 91. You shouldn't be driving. You

definitely should not be driving a pickup truck. Listen, if your parents, if your parents are still driving or like when I'm older, I think that's the I would get them a car like that like a big SUV or something just to make sure like let's make sure like Mima and people are safe when

they're driving around just in case but also they're driving around tanks which is not safe for anyone else involved. Sure. Yeah. Anyway, Super Bowl. Yeah. Uh I think the Eagles are gonna win. Oh okay. Well, there you go. Thanks guys. Don't

listen next week. We just cut to the chase and uh see you the day after the Super Bowl to see the Eagles are going to win. Oh, okay. Well, there you go. Thanks guys. Don't listen next week. We just cut to the chase and uh see the day after the Super Bowl to see if Stugas was right or not. Now, Billy, listen, you know this, Mikey, you know this, Fuentes, you

know this. I say that today. I have not left for New Orleans. I haven't spoken to anyone. I could change my opinion a thousand times throughout the week based on the guests that we have. If funny Marco tells me he likes

the Chiefs, that might sway me back to the Kansas City Chiefs but as it stands right now, I love the Eagles chances simply because they can run the football. This is a better team, a team more suited to beat the Chiefs than they were two years

ago when they almost beat the Chiefs but this team can run the football and keep Patrick Mahomes off the field and I believe they're going to do that. How about that? I think you keep mentioning Funny Marco. I think that you should

talk to your daughters to ask them what you should talk to Funny Marco about. Like this seems like someone that would be in their sphere that they could kind of help you with. Also, if you want a connection point, Funny Marco, we ran into, didn't talk to, but we ran into at kickoff for the season this year.

He was running around also the tailgates, recording some stuff on videos. So if you wanna have a connection point with Funny Marco, he was also there running around the tailgates doing some stuff. So he had like a bunch of handlers, so we couldn't even get within like arms distinct of him to talk to him about anything.

I think Billy's right. I have to run this through the prism of my kids. I will ask that. Yeah, if funny Marco is someone I should be having on the show. I don't care. I'm happy. No, no Marco won. No, no, Billy last year.

Who was it? Bad Bunny. Who was the guy we had on? It was definitely not bad. But it was little Dickie. But little Dickie little Dickie. I asked you why the hell are we having little Dickie on? that we had Yeah. It was bad. But you did do me a favor. Don't ask your kids about funny Marco for all of parties involved. Just head in. Yeah. Head into that interview with the exact information that you have now.

No more, no less. Don't look them up. Don't do anything. Just head into it exactly as you are. No prep. No prep. You don't need prep. This is I think the two of you can kind of get along and just kind of roll with it together you know. Really? Yeah maybe. Is he funny? They don't call him unfunny Marco you know what I mean? Don't call him serious Marco. Yeah exactly right. I'll let you know after the interview if he's funny or not.

It is going to be an exciting week hopefully and hopefully an exciting Super Bowl. But I can't help. And I know that you're probably the same as I am. I can't help but start

to think towards next season already, even though this season is that officially done. There's only one game left. So, yeah, I feel like the scrambling is going to start soon the season already even though this season's not officially done. There's only one game left. So, yeah, I feel like the scrambling is going to start soon to start previewing next

season. We had the uh the senior bowl. We have the combine coming up. We have the draft. It's right around the corner. I don't know if you're doing big big boards this year for the draft but uh right. Are we headed to Green Bay for the

draft? I mean, it's to Green Bay for the draft? I mean, it's in Green Bay this year. Yeah. I think. I think that I heard and this is just speculation. So, okay. It will not be Green Bay but I I think I think I think we may be going to Nashville since they

have the number one pick in the draft. Really? To do a draft show. I think, I don't think that's finalized. I think still in the works location TBD, but I think the last we heard that was the location, which will be very, very exciting for the first pick. And then after that, we'll kind of be like, so we're in Nashville and the Packers have selected. And then it's like, okay, no one cares.

They already got their number one pick. Yep. By the way, speaking of Tennessee, they got a new GM and I can't pronounce his name So I'm not gonna try but he did one of the smartest things I've ever seen a GM do He came out and he said that they're not dead set on taking a quarterback But when they see a generational talent, they're gonna take it Now the best part is he they see a generational talent, they're going to take it. Now, the best part is he doesn't say who it

is. So, whenever they take that player, they get to say, that's the generational talent we always thought it was. Right. Interesting. But if it's not, then they were on the record saying this is a generational time. It doesn't matter. It's a

big risk. You're going to get you're going to get fired if you blow the number one pick anyway. Yeah, probably. Yeah. Yes. I mean, Billy, do you think we should be in Nashville? What if Nashville trades the pick? I mean, that would be really funny. Honestly, that would be hilarious. It's pretty natural. They trade the

pick and we're sitting there in Nashville. I mean, here we are at this honky tonk and uh you know, didn't go as still still, would you rather be in Green Bay? Come on, man. Yeah, come on. Don't get like like like, what are you doing? Give tourists of the mouth.

Yeah, exactly right. I mean Green Bay. It seems like a fun place for the draft. No, I'm just saying. No cold. Especially because we'd be in Milwaukee. Especially since I'd be an hour outside of Green Bay. Listen, you got you want to go to Green Bay so bad. Let's let's use some PTO on that friend. the

the the game. I've had that. They trade the pick because they watch your door Sanders. Seriously, I don't think Nashville's going to use the pick. I'll get to my next year top five power rankings in a second. Oh, okay. So, you're ahead of the game. I was going to say we should start looking

forward but you've already created your power ranking. So, you're ahead of us trying to get ahead of it. I'm ahead of everyone. Yes. I okay. I already said the thing that everyone's going to say later in the week. Eagles going to win the game. Keep Patrick Mahomes off the field. You got to. Yes, I already said the thing that everyone's going to say later in the week. Eagles going to

win the game. Keep Patrick Mahomes off the field. You got to set trends. That's what you have to do at Radio Rail with Super Bowl week, Billy and I've done it. Okay. You want my top five headed into next year? Yeah, sure. Let's do the top

five headed into next year because Billy, I'm with you. There is a sadness that comes with the Super Bowl and Super Bowl week because we only have one game left. In fact, when you get to a tug of war at the Pro Bowl

games, you've arrived at the end of the season. You've arrived at sadness. There is one game left and that makes me sad. So, why two? I'm on to week one of next year. I have my power rankings. Oh, well, you're saying the tug of war is the 91 year old driver in a pickup truck of the Super Bowl season of the football season.

Well, let me let me ask you something just for clarification purposes. Yes. These power rankings are headed into the season. Correct. Because we don't we don't know the we we don't know the schedules yet. We know who the teams will play, but we don't know where and when. Yeah. I guess we know the where, but we don't know where. Yeah, we don't know the schedules yet. We know who the teams will play, but we don't know where and when I guess we know the where, but we don't know the way. Yeah. We don't know the when. So this is headed into the season. Your power ranking. This is after the draft, everything you've accounted for all of that. This is the teams post-draft it's kickoff this Thursday. Yep. Boom. These are your power rankings. Yes. These are my four months early or whatever

it is more than that. Like eight months early. These are my top five teams. Boom. These are your power rankings. Yes. These are my four months early or whatever it is. More than that. Like eight months early. These are my top five teams headed into next season. Yes. Okay. Yeah. Alright. Alright. You ready? Yes. Number five. The Baltimore Ravens. Wow.

Yeah. Number five. Alright. People might say they should be higher. I say no. They should be right in number five. I got you. Yup. They're in the mix. Yup. They're in the mix. Uh the the team. Well, and Cliff Kingsbury opted not to leave for a head coaching job. He's staying put. He wants to ride with Jaden. So, uh. Yeah. We'll see if that works out for Cliff. It won't but we'll see if that works out for Cliff.

Yeah. Uh. Not cuz not cuz of Jaden by the way. Sure. Just because never never works out for old Cliff, you know. Yeah. Uh number three, the Green Bay Packers. Oh, wow. Yeah, you like that. Most people would say in that division, you go Vikings, you go Lions. I'm done

with the Lions, lost all the coordinators. I'm done with them. Vikings, Sam Darnley got a year. They have to start over with JJ McCarthy, Green Bay Packers, Jordan Love. I like that team a lot. They have a good chance at winning a Super

Bowl next season. How about that? Wow. Yeah. You can tell those people that in person when you go by yourself to cover the draft there. Thank you. Where was it? Number two. Ah yes. Number two. Billy the Buffalo

Bills. If not next year, when? This year. Last year. If not next year, the following year. The Buffalo Bills coming in at Super Bowl this week and you only have one spot left. Yeah. Who are you going to put there? I mean, I I know who you're

going to put there. I think who do you think I'm going to put there? Let's see how well you guys know me. Well, I mean, the thing is II. You know who I actually think you're going to end up putting there is the chiefs because II. You think that I think you're going to

put the Eagles there, right? So then you would put the chiefs there just to kind of confuse the situation and now. Yeah. You're rethinking that because you didn't lock this in anywhere. So now you could still be going back and forth. There's no. I want to make it even harder on him. Yeah. Okay.

I'll take the other team. So one of us is going to be right. You seem to be erasing there too. I saw you scribe something out. I was just adding. We know it's adding. There's only one team. We know it's not the Lions. We know it's not the Vikings. You already told us that. We know it's not going to be like the 49ers or anyone like that. No. No. So it's either. It's going to be either the Eagles or the Chiefers. We already told us that. We know it's not going to be like the 49ers or anyone like that. No, no. So, it's

either it's going to be either the Eagles or the Chiefs. Right. Wrong. The Cincinnati Bengals. Of course, yeah. See? What is wrong with that? They're number one. Hottest team in the NFL towards the end of the regular season. Joe Burrow will

see if T Higgins is back. Jamar Chaves. That team's got a legit chance if they're healthy the entire year. They do. The Bengals. They still don't have a defense and they'll probably gonna lose T Higgins. Well, this is this is

also he's telling us this as if it's the Monday leading into kickoff. So, he already knows all of those. Yes. Results. Right. I will say though. You guys are gonna be shocked when you see what happens with T Higgins. I mean, anyway, go ahead. When you say to us, that's embarrassed Super Bowl. What's wrong? They may have a chance. They may have a chance.

It's very different than number one on the power rankings. They may have a chance is like a five maybe on your list. Not one. I don't know. The Eagles lose this game. They're going to fall apart. The Chiefs win this game. They're not going to do a four-peat. Come on your list. Not just call like 22222222. You'll get in hold of him. He has all the phone numbers. Yeah, he's got all the phone numbers. How good is Pat Riley who, who coined that phrase many, many years ago that he has three Pete, right?

He feels it's a good week for Riley. Yes. Some would copy right at it. I mean, I mean, the NFC had a three Pete yesterday in the Pro Bowl games. However, I don't think anyone is making NFC three Pete shirts. So I don't think the Pat's gonna make money off of the NFC's Pro Bowl games. However, I don't think anyone is making NFC three-peat shirts, so I don't think the Pats gonna make money off of the NFC's

Pro Bowl game three-peat. But some are saying maybe Pat's greatest move ever. Some are saying, not me, I wouldn't dare. Basketball legend, look at all the teams he's put together, champion of coach. Some are saying best thing he ever did was copyright three-peat. Some said that, best thing you ever did was copyright three repeat. Some said that.

Right, right, got it. So not getting LeBron James or. Some are saying, I mean, others would say maybe if we weren't counting all of our future earnings from three Pete, maybe we could have inquired about Luca down here, get rid of Jimmy Butler, the two birds with one stone situation, get rid of one disgr. The two birds with one

stone situation. Get rid of one disgruntled superstar. Bring in another superstar who you could sign up to a long extension. Maybe fix the the trajectory of your organization but not me. I wouldn't say that. I didn't say. I love I love that people

are making such a big deal about this NBA trade. I mean, they traded a guy in street clothes for a guy in street clothes. I mean, these guys never play. Neither of them. They don't ever play. They're going to start playing now, friends. You'll see all of a sudden all the ailments are going to be fixed up real quick.

Billy, if the Mavericks and this guy, Niko Harrison, if he asked for Bronnie back, do you think LeBron does the trade? Oh, wow. We just missed an opportunity. the brawn does the trade. Oh, wow. That. Ha ha ha ha ha. Wow. We just missed an opportunity. No, Nico missed an opportunity. Oh.

Oh. Ha ha ha. I know. Wow. He says no, right? Probably. It's crazy. You take my son away from me?

Yeah. You can keep Anthony Davis. We want brawn. take my son away from me? Yeah. Keep Anthony Davis. We want Bronnie. And put him with Kyrie? Oh. God bless football. From fireside conversations to football Sundays, winter means more moments with the coolest people in your life.
