Touchdown. Unbelievable. Slings it way down the field to Watkins. Sammy Watkins for the touchdown. Welcome to the Fumble Rooski Podcast by Power 88 and Secret Weapon Consulting. I'm Adam Wright with CJ Medeiros and Chris Kostic. Guys, welcome to our fourth annual Super Bowl special. It's hard to believe that we've done four of these over the years, but here we are.

And it's going to be better than ever. We have a couple new segments and some of the same stuff. So first off, we're going to have, just as usual, we're going to do our Super Bowl prop bets. So we're going to give bets for whatever we believe is going to happen for all these different things that may not even be game related. Um, we're doing a new segment about game food. So we've already, we've always talked about game food during our Superbowl specials, but we're going to give, give it a little bit

more of a twist. We're going to make things a little more interesting. Um, favorite Superbowl resting um favorite super bowl memories final super bowl predictions all of that stuff guys so let's start without further ado our super bowl prop bets and we're going to lead off with what color guys is the gatorade so everyone gets the gatorade bath but what color is it going to be i'm gonna go purple Gatorade. So everyone gets the Gatorade bath, but what color is it going to be? I'm going to go purple. Okay. No insight, no nothing. Hell, I'm going to go hot take.

Maybe we won't even see a Gatorade bath. So according to Ben before. Okay. So purple actually has a good shot at winning, though. so according to Ben before okay so purple purple purple actually has a good shot at winning though what are the odds on it plus 275 I love those odds

it's the leading odd yeah how do they determine that probably based on what has happened in the past It's the leading odd. How do they determine that? Probably based on what has happened in the past. I wonder if it also has to do with the Super Bowl logo as well, the colors of the logo. It could be.

What was it last year? It was like blue, right? Oh, I don't know. Since 2015, though, blue Gatorade has been the most frequent appearing four times oh yeah it's the best and since 2001 uh gatorade has been dumped by winning coaches the most winning coaches the most five times. It's been the coach. CJ, what's your pick? You know what?

Much like Chris, I don't have a lot to go on here. So, you know, we really don't. So I'm just going to say, you know, F it. We're just going to throw it to the wall. And, well, give me the yellow one, lemon-lime. Do you know why? Because you. Yeah, I know. It's the worst. Well, actually, no. Purple's the worst, respectfully.

But, no. I disagree with that. I think it's time. Why not? That's all. Just why not? Okay. So, I think I'm going to go. So the Chiefs, they've won two Super Bowls, obviously. And one was orange, one was purple.

But if we think the 49ers are going to win, so they don't have a Super Bowl victory in the last quarter century. But if they do win, I am going to go go yellow i think yellow is the way to go all right do you yes i think it does respect um i wouldn't be surprised if it's blue though before this past year where it was purple it was three out of the last four years it was blue and last year it wasn't blue so maybe it's due that blue gatorade is starting to get become more frequent it's the it's been the most since 2015 all right um we're going on to our next one coin toss pretty easy one it's a 50 50 shot what do you guys think heads or tails tails tails never fails give me that all day well in the words of the immortal matthew slater heads

yeah but we won do we get to pick the right way sure heads uh yeah that was from uh everyone thought that he said the wrong thing, but he was obviously arguing whether or not they were going... They would be able to pick which way. But I think... Matthew later picked heads in the Super Bowl, so yeah, it's heads. I've decided.

I think I'm going to go tails. It's a 50-50 shot. So, I mean, it's not like there's an analytical thing to it. There's really not. There's no doctoring of the coin that we know of. Do you think you can even do that? Is there like a coin that you can flip in the aerodynamics when it spins through the air and just makes it land? Yeah, I think it's a weighted coin or whatever. I don't know. I think I might have heard something about that once, but I might have just imagined it. You never know.

But at the same time, if that did happen, that still wouldn't make a guaranteed. It would just give it a bit, a better shot at one side. Yeah. I don't know. I don't know. Next one is the national Anthem. Now,

right now. So usually the betting line is two minutes. Right now it is a minute and a half. What do you guys think? I'm going to go the over. I mean, the line is this low. You kind of have to bet the over on this, especially for the Super Bowl. And there hasn't been this low of a, or there hasn't been a lower Super Bowl half Super Bowl halftime Super Bowl

National Anthem performance since like Jewel in the 90s yeah all right so National Anthem you say yes give me the over okay i'm gonna go the opposite way i'm gonna say under if they're if they're going this low then i feel like they there's something that they know there's no way it's that easy all right here here here it is she's saying it before game three of the 1997 World Series, clocking in at 82 seconds. And the last recorded video of Reby McIntyre singing the anthem. She did it in 79 seconds before the 2017 Celebrity of Hope softball game. And how long was that? That was 79 seconds. Oh, oh so yeah give me the under i'll i'll take the under there i don't know how you can sing it that fast because it's because some of the some

of the notes that you hold are like really long but if she's able to pull it off and has done it twice in recorded history then I'm taking the under. I don't know. This is actually pretty interesting. I can't wait for the national anthem now. Yeah. I don't know. I feel like that.

Most people are like, Oh, like the national anthem is supposed to be long. So I'm just going to take as long as possible. Yeah. And it is the super bowl. I don't, I understand the world series of the world series,

but the super bowl has replaced baseball as America's pastime. Amen. Sorry, baseball fans. And I'm a baseball fan too, so don't come and chop my head off, but the Super Bowl is the biggest event in television right now. And when you have this lady, she's singing it, I feel like there's a possibility she could take a while. But it's twice.

This happened twice. And I don't know how it's possible. I'll have to see it. But if she did it twice, then I'm picking the under. All right. Rob Gronkowski's kick. So last year he missed it. So for those of you who don't know, last year Rob Gronkowski,

was it before or after the game or during halftime? It was a Super Bowl commercial. A commercial, okay. It was a commercial for FanDuel, and now he's doing it during the game, I think. Yeah. I'm going to pick. All right. What do you guys think?

Give me the make. He makes it. I just don't know. I don't really care one way or the other. I don't know why this became a prop battle. I do know why. Thank you, Vegas. You ruined ruined lives again but you know what i believe in gronk the second time around i like chris give me the make we're gonna have the sweep here i'm going to pick him too because

the amount that they are marketing it leading up to the super bowl something just seems off here something tells me that he's going to make it. I understand he's just a tight end, but I feel like you're a football player. You probably should know if you're going to make your field goals or not. I don't know how far it's going to be. Have they said the distance? Yeah, I forget what it is.

I don't know. Let me look it up. Do you know? 25 yards. He's making it. That's a chip shot. Come on. Yeah.

I understand that he is a tight end, but I think he's making that, especially with the amount that they've been marketing it the past few weeks. It's just an extra point. Exactly. Less than that, actually. Right. So that's a chip shot. All right.

Our next one is... All right. So this one is more game related. So the amount of points. is... This one is more game-related. The amount of points. ESPN's official line is 47.5. Boys, are we taking the over or the under? It's tough.

That's tough. I can see this being another high-scoring affair. The last few have been high scoring games that have been well over 40, 45,

even 50. So part of me wants to hit the over and it's the Super Bowl. Why wouldn't you want to see a lot of points being scored? So give me the over. Okay. CJ?

CJ? CJ? You're muted yeah whose fault was that anyway uh who all right what's the uh what's the line again please refresh my memory 47 and a half you know You know what? Give me the over. It won't be by a lot, but give me the over. I'm going to go under. Both of these defenses are actually pretty good. I'm not saying that it's going to be a rock fight, but I think there's something about this game where it's going to be um they're they're going to be point scored but i also think that both teams are going to limit each other and how much that is scored um so i'll give it under but slightly

under kind of like cj was slightly over i'll go slightly under this is still there's still going to be some points scored um all right so that was it for the prop bets we're going to move on to our brand new segment for our super bowl specials the super bowl game food draft that's next this is the fumble ruski podcast here's edelman broken up and the pass is no sign yet edelman comes down with a football they're saying it's a catch This is what makes Sideline touchdown unbelievable! Swings it way down the field to Watkins! Sammy Watkins for the touchdown! Welcome back to the Fumble Roki podcast by power 88 sequel weapon consulting adam right cj medeiros and chris kostich so let me explain to you this new segment so super bowl game food draft

pretty much how it sounds so before we would just name the plate that we would name, but now we're going to make things interesting. If one, if somebody has already named their plate, that certain dish can't be used anymore. Five rounds, you get to load your plate with five different items. If it's already taken, then you can't use it anymore we're gonna go in a rotation so we're gonna start with chris then go to cj and then me and then we'll rotate five times and that is going to be what we pick you get a couple you get a couple seconds to pick we ready to go uh before we start, I have a question. Yes.

Is this a snake draft? So it would be Chris, then me, then you, but then you, me, Chris? Would it work like that? Yes. Okay. All right. Also, would we be allowed to draft beverages of any kind? No. Or is it just food?

No. I had to clear that up. Because most people are just going to pick beer. Yeah, that's fair. All right. I'll start out with cheeseburger sliders as my first pick. Can't go wrong with the sliders. All right.

Chris. Wow. CJ. You know what? Give me wings, man. The classic. You can put any sauce you wings, man. The classic. You can put any sauce you want on them.

Beautiful. We love wings. Damn it. Took my pick. All right. I think mine is going to be. Give me taquitos. You guys know taquitos?

Oh. Oh. Believe me, I do. Come on now. Those things are, especially chicken and cheese, because it has a little bit of a spice to them. You have the cheese in them, and oh, Lord, it's the greatest thing of all time.

Good golly. All right. Chris? No, Adam. Oh, yeah, I get i get back to back picks give me not give me top uh uh doritos doritos i think doritos are that one i know it's just a chip but it's one of the it's one of those chips that you just cannot disclude it's my favorite snack food of all time i can eat those you can dip it you can dip i know cj knows that i told them this you can dip dip it in queso and it's extra cheese super unhealthy for you and it's awesome i love it all right cj you're up again i've never done that but maybe i should try i don't know but i But I will take your chips, and I will see you nachos, my guy.

Come on. Okay. All right. Chris? I'll stick with the wave, and I'll take all yours and put it to mine. Buffalo chicken dip. Ooh. Ooh, okay.

I'll accept it. Yeah, because you're dipping it in something and it's buffalo. So give me all your chips to put in my dip. Oh, boy. All right. All right. All right.

All right. Now, does that mean I'm forgetting about this order? I think, Chris, you get back to back. This is round three. So, hmm. Round three. So, hmm. Round three. All the really good ones are off the board besides... Give me pulled pork.

Pulled pork. That's good. But what kind of pulled pork? Just pulled pork? It's barbecue pulled pork. Yeah. Yeah, but like, do you put it on a sandwich? Are you just going to have it on the plate or what? I'll have rolls on the side

for anyone that wants to make it into a sandwich. Does that work with this rule? Sure, whatever. We'll just call it pulled pork and call it a day. Yeah. All right. I'm up next. Oh, give me some mozzarella sticks, man.

All right. So CJ's plate is now wings, nachos and mozzie sticks. Gettable. We love it. All right. Think about what I'm going to pick. Wait a second here. So, so far I've picked taquitos, Doritos, and I'm going to take Chris's buffalo chicken dip and give you a four layer nacho dip, taco dip. All right.

All right. It's a classic. It's something that you can have. You can serve in a tray and you can have, you can add all kinds of things to it you can add chips you can add sour cream you can add taco meat all that kind of stuff everyone loves mexican food why not turn it into a freaking dip four layers it's awesome my plate really taquitos doritos and four layer dip i pray for your toilet adam i pray for your toilet the mornings aren't the best but it's well you got another one you know you got this is start round four

all right so all right so right now taquitos doritos four layer taco dip i need to think for my next one uh because wings was taken off the board early. That's my favorite one of all time. But I can't use it. You know what? I'm going to give you mac and cheese. I like it. Cheese is always good. We have a few proteins here. We got the taquitos the four layer dip has taco dip why not give it a few a few more carbs to go along with the doritos mac

and cheese fair fair all right back to me i. So I already have wings, but what if I doubled down on the protein? Give me ribs. Ribs. That was the thing with me. I was in between the pulled pork and the ribs, and I figured I'd probably put myself more

towards the pulled pork. I remember whenever I watched my dad we made those or he made those i'll be ah chef's kids and we'll just give it give it a quick break just so that we can't i can name we'll take a step back and i want to name out everyone's plate so that our audience understands exactly what we've drafted so far now that we're going on to our final our uh final round all right chris's plate who picked first overall he get he went cheeseburger sliders buffalo chicken dip pulled pork before he gives his next one cj

named wings nachos mozzie sticks, and ribs. As for my plate, taquitos, Doritos, four-layer taco dip, mac and cheese. All right. So, Chris, you get back-to-back picks for your last one. Back-to-back picks. I'm going to go on the healthy side for this one, For my fourth one, I'm going to go carrots with ranch for my fourth pick. You got to add some veggies in there. Got the veggie tray.

And if you're not careful, I might eat all those veggies. Oh, man. That is, that's the option that gets added just so that you can claim you ate somewhat healthy or just to satisfy people who are who are go who are going there who are saying well i don't want to eat that healthy we'll have vegetables and like ranch that will never eat still good i i love having carrots and celery you sh shitting me? First of all, cucumbers and ranch are supreme. Cucumbers and ranch are supreme. This is not negotiable. All right.

My last pick. My last pick. I'm going to go pizza. I'm surprised that it stayed this long on the board. And I'm here to take it off. I respect it. All right. And so for Chris's final plate, pizza.

Here is Chris's final plate. We got cheeseburger sliders, buffalo chicken dip, pulled pork, veggie dip, and pizza. Now, CJ. Actually, I think it's me, right? No, then me, then you. You picked last because it's an odd number of rounds. Right. So, now, I was thinking, I heard Chris and Adam both pick a dip.

Well, I saved my dip for last. I don't know how it's still here. Give me that beer cheese dip, man. You know what I mean? When it's done right, beer cheese dip is just elite. You know, I have my wings. I've got ribs. You don't want to drizzle some all over that.

Maybe I want to dip it. Well, ladies and gentlemen, I give you beer cheese. Okay. I'll yield the rest of my time. Honorable mention, Queso. Ooh, I think, I mean, I kind of claimed it when I brought up Doritos because I mentioned that option. I forgive you.

But, all right, picked you picked beer cheese uh i you're right i don't know how that lasted that long but so cj's final plate wings nachos mozzie sticks ribs and beer cheese all right of course my final pick coma but it's the super bowl exactly if it's it's not a super bowl if you're not if you don't have some sort of uh nap right after which is falling asleep until like noon the next day and calling in sick for work sick everyone know it's the it's the biggest dead giveaway that there is if you call in sick for work the day after the Super Bowl. Yeah. Luckily, so my time in school, in high school, college, most of the Super Bowls, I've actually been able to.

I've had snow days. I've been sick, actually sick. My parents during high school would never have let me skip school if I wasn't actually sick my my parents would during high school would never have let me uh skip school if i wasn't actually sick um and i'm the worst at faking it so yeah okay so chris brought up cheeseburger sliders and how this one didn't last and that one's beyond me cheeseburgers themselves and i'm the type who loves all about adam i don't know about that that fall i feel like that falls under my category i mean it's literally just cheeseburgers but regular size i mean i don't know how i feel about that i don't know if I can allow that either.

No, I'm allowing it. It's 2-1. It's 2-1, Adam. You're getting up on a 2-1. What is this? A slider is completely different than a cheeseburger. No, it's not. No, it's not. It's a cheeseburger, but it's smaller.

Exactly. Just fucking make the big one. It's literally a cheeseburger, my guy. Make the real thing. There's no thought to this. You can't draft my guy. All right literally a cheeseburger, my guy. Make the real thing. There's no thought to this. You can't draft my guy. All right. You can't draft my guy.

Okay. All right. All right. You know what? Fine. Fine. I'll give it to you. Unbelievable.

Although they are two different things. If they... No, no. How are they two different things? How are they two different things? They're two different things because one's a slider and one's a cheeseburger.

That's such a. A cheeseburger is like this. It's the same stuff. It's the same thing. It's the same thing. Yeah. And just go the distance and make it an actual cheeseburger. Why are we doing slide?

Whoever created, whoever, whoever came up with the idea of making sliders, dude, just make a freaking cheeseburger why why are we doing slide whoever created whoever whoever came up with the idea of making sliders dude just make a freaking cheeseburger just make a regular thing a slider's an appetizer all right all right you can just get four of them welcome to america four sliders are a cheeseburger yeah all right i'll i'll it to you. I'll give it to you. I guess you've made a solid case. I still think they're two different things. No. Because if somebody really wanted a cheeseburger,

they would just make a cheeseburger. They wouldn't say, what if we made these smaller? Why don't we give ourselves a lot less? Just give us the freaking cheeseburger, man. Well, there's already so much food why would you want to stuff your face with something huge when there's so much other food to also eat you want to be able to have a little bit of everything sure just take a just have one cheeseburger and then just i mean you got all day people don't start their super bowl parties

during game time you started a couple hours before so that you could stuff your face and continue to pace yourself through the, throughout the afternoon and the evening, you know, how the cavemen did it. Speaking of which, speaking of which, here's what we're going to do.

I'm going to put steak on the board. All right. I think steak, I've never had steak during a Super Bowl party. But if I was, if there was nothing else that I could do, no wings, no nachos, no mozzie sticks, no ribs, no beer cheese, no sliders, no buffalo chicken dip, no cheeseburgersers too because i guess those are the same freaking thing pulled pork veggies uh veggie dip and pizza i'm going steak actually you know what beef brisket beef brisket is closer to game food yeah i like that i like that no one's gonna no one's

gonna cook a steak for the the super bowl no one is going to cook like 40 steaks. I will just make my own and eat it in front of everybody. Alright. So you guys at home you guys tell us what do you think? Whose plate wins? So Chris who had the number one overall pick

he picked cheeseburger sliders or freaking cheeseburgers. Buffalo chicken dip dip pulled pork veggie dip and pizza a couple blue chip prospects in there but cj with the number two overall picks took the cj stroud of all number two picks in buffalo wings and then nachos mozzie sticks ribs and beer cheese adam's plate i had taquitos doritos four layer taco dip mac and cheese and beef brisket you guys tell us in the comments which one is better who made the better plate here all right that was a fun one i liked that oh yeah i enjoyed it that was good it was great we'll do that we'll do that next year too um and i'm giving myself the number one pick

all right you know what we need to take names out of a hat because i basically just gave you guys the top two picks since i was the main host today i You picked taquitos as your first pick. I mean, you kind of did to yourself. I guess, but... Taquitos are good, but they're not usually a Super Bowl food. I don't know. You've never been to my house, clearly.

Clearly, you've never watched the Super Bowl at my house, man. It's been there for every Super Bowl party since I've been to an Italian's house. Italian? What? my house man it's been there for no most of all party at an italian's house you know italian what could have had we could have picked someone could have picked meatballs oh yeah also there's like fries loaded potato skins stuff like that the list could literally be endless jalapeno poppers you know stuff like that yeah boys we messed up but that's okay you know what we picked some good we we had some good plates if this is what we have for tomorrow's super bowl then it's going to be good and spoil

alert for my house i do have wings i have three trays of wings four actually three buffalo and one honey barbecue because not everyone loves like spicy stuff that's okay word um yeah it'll be a fun time and we're and i'm getting pizza so yeah we have some good stuff no sliders but we do have cheeseburgers just because i ain't eating them no we're not reopening this all right fine more food for me all right boys favorite super bowl memories that's. This is the Fumble Rooski Podcast. Fumble Rooski Podcast. No sign yet. Hamilton comes down with a football and they're saying it's a catch. It's caught! It's a catch!

Side-line! Touchdown! Unbelievable! Swings it way down the field to Watkins! Sammy Watkins for the touchdown! Welcome back to the Fumble Rooski podcast by Power 88 and Secret Weapon Consulting. I'm Adam Wright with CJ Matieros and Chris Kostic. So here, this is one segment we've done every year which is our favorite super bowl memories and we get to share our best impressions on the big game and being three

patriots fans we have some good memories we've had pretty happy childhoods all right guys give us your favorite super bowl memories um i mean the obvious choice would have to be Super Bowl 51. But I'm going to go with Super Bowl 53 just because that was the last one. And in the moment, that entire run that the Patriots had was amazing and it all culminating into that one game. And even though it really was not that great of a game, defensively it was a great game. And there was still some really intense moments during that game,

like Brandon Cooks having the ball knocked out of his hands by Jason McCourty in the back of the end zone, Gil Morgan, the interception at the five. Sonny Michel punching in for the only touchdown of the game. Yeah, I don't know. And then just being around all my friends for that one. Just nothing better than that. It was so awesome.

What I like about that one was the finality to it it felt so much like the dynasty was already over especially because of the super bowl prior yeah and they didn't have the best year they just the team just looked off all season long um and then towards they had a chance at the number one seed but they screwed it up up towards the end of it against Miami in the last second. And it looked like it was over. And then you pulled off that incredible victory over the Chiefs who looked like they were going to go to the Super Bowl. And then you go two weeks later to the Super Bowl and go and win it. That just felt, felt man it may not have been the best season but it was probably one of my favorite patriots teams yeah another probably the most satisfying too because like you said adam that it felt like the dynasty was over it really was not that great

of a team and then the playoffs they turned up a notch and that was like that game afterwards it was like you know what if we suck after this i'll be content with what i just watched and and here we are i'm content with where we are now because they got that sex then brady's now considered the GOAT. And yeah. I also got to go to my first and only Patriots Super Bowl parade that year as well. I was there too. Yeah. Yeah. I went to their pep rally too that year. I went to everything.

I had a feeling this was it. Yeah. Yeah. Well, that's the thing. I went to the Super Bowl parade because I was like, you know what? This is probably it right here. This is it. I think a lot of people were.

There was a big turnout there for that. It had to have been over a million and a half people. It was insane. All right, CJ. All right. Now, you see, back when I was a children, you know, I used to be a children. Why are you saying children plural just say you don't know the lore you don't know it's an inside joke when some of my friends listen to it they'll

be like ha they got it but it doesn't matter it's back when i was a children uh i for all tense purposes for those who don't know though i was was born in Patriots territory, I live most of my life, regrettably, in Eagles territory. Now, we all know the crazed, whiny, and very violent group of domestic problem causers called Eagles fans. And, well, after Super Bowl 52, they gave it to me pretty good. But then after Super Bowl, but like you, Chris, I also have to go with Super Bowl 53, where I came in a year later and said, well, well, well, how are we doing, everybody? You know, rolling up to school in the old gronk jersey and saying, oh, what's that that's six count them bastards and much like you two i also went to that parade how funny is that three of us were all there huh

the prequels were crazy weren't they but but yeah it was great you know rubbing in everyone's face but at the end of the day super bowl 51 will always hold a special place in my heart as well. Just the absolute despair. I remember it was 20-3. I said outright, yep, that's game. That's over. And then Tom Brady and James Wayne, something to say about it. That was also fun, too, watching everybody's face because everybody back where I'm from hated the Patriots. But it's okay because I hated everyone that went to my high school too. But overall, going to that parade after Super Bowl 53, still one of the best experiences I've ever had. Yeah. Let me go a different direction for you

because I genuinely believe that this was the greatest Super Bowl of all time. Picture this. So Super Bowl XLIX was my favorite one of all time. And I'll tell you why. Because as a young kid, so I saw the page, my first year of following football, it was 2013. I watched the Patriots, and they didn't have that good of a season, but they still managed to get to the AFC championship

but lose to that historic 2013 Broncos team and i under and i knew about the seahawks i saw how good they were and seeing them pick apart that broncos team that was supposed to be one of the best teams of all time the way they just made light work of them i said without with barely any football knowledge at this point, I said, they're going to, this Patriots are going to meet this team next year. After that Superbowl, I said, I, I just, I just had a feeling. And, um, so that off season, they got Revis and Browner as two new corners. They lost a key to leave to the Denver Broncos, but that was okay. They brought in Darrell Revis. And that season, it started off not so great, but they picked it up and they went to work.

And by the time it was December, they were already pretty much the Super Bowl favorite. The Broncos, they were fine later on in that year, but you could tell something was off about Peyton Manning. I still thought they would meet in the AFC Championship. They ended up not meeting. The Colts beat them because the Broncos just, something was off about Peyton that we would find out was off the very next year where his arm turned into a complete noodle um they tore their way through the afc championship fast forward it's a back and forth super bowl that was incredible the way that so they went back and forth during at halftime uh in the first in the first half 14 all the Seahawks come out of the, come out of the quarter, uh, come out of halftime, take a 10 point lead. And everyone was pissed at me because they all knew that I picked the Seahawks to go to the super bowl. And they all knew that I wanted that matchup. I was even rooting for it

in the NFC championship game where the Packers almost went there. Everyone at my house was rooting for the Packers because they thought it would be the easy matchup. I was the only one rooting for the Seahawks because I thought it would be the harder one. Don't judge my judgment. I was a 14-year-old kid at the time. And then so they took a 10-point lead. Everyone was saying, I hope you're happy, Adam. I hope you're happy. And I said, just watch. And so then that fourth quarter comeback,

Tom Brady scores two touchdowns, 14 unanswered points. Then of course, in the last few seconds, the Seahawks drive down the fields. Then there was that iconic interception by Malcolm Butler. I still could not believe it. You went from the mood swings that all Patriots fans went through. You went from thinking you have the game won to, holy crap, You're about to lose from the curse catch to holy crap. We just won from the interception. Just, it was a textbook ending and it was, uh, Tom Brady won Superbowl MVP. He threw four touchdown passes. He threw for over 400 yards. I still to this day believe that was his best. Uh, that was his best performance. I know he threw two picks,

but picks happen. Everyone throws interceptions. Everyone's favorite quarterback, every fan of someone's favorite quarterback blames the other one for throwing interceptions, which is the most hypocritical argument I've ever heard because everyone throws interceptions. The only one who's able to limit him actually to a strong, like to a T, is Aaron Rodgers. And something tells me that he is getting too conservative because he doesn't go to Super Bowls anymore. Yeah, so that's definitely my favorite one. We all have Patriots, so I wanted to move to our fan box. So we post a question filter on our,

on our Instagram story every Monday. This, in this case, it was Friday. You can respond with hot takes questions and more, and we will discuss it and give you a shout out on our podcast. And, uh, so we gave you our question of the week was favorite Super Bowl memories. So here we go. Chase McGinty said Philly special. This is one that is for Eagles fans. This was an incredible moment. I mean, you could say that it was a legal formation.

But not every call is made correctly, and you could make a case that it wasn't a legal formation. There's no excuse for the Patriots, how they just gashed that Patriots secondary. It was pretty bad. Probably one of the more impressive Super Bowl victories as well because Nick Foles threw for almost 400 yards, put up what was it, 48 points, was able to out-duel Brady in that sense as well. Yeah, and another thing was, though though the Patriots defense Nick Foles the reason he picked them apart was that I don't know if you remember but the front seven couldn't get a lick of pressure on him like their pressure and their pass rush win rate was so bad I don't even think they

sacked him once it was bad and he just had like enough time you know they were converting like third and tens i mean granted you know i've heard arguments saying that wasn't uh you know that wasn't a legal formation the philly special i mean but i've never heard a satisfying argument i'm not saying an argument i agree with but one where it's like yeah i can see where you're coming from a lot of these arguments just like no uh and then you know they had a phantom catch by corey clement you know where that's either here nor there not a catch but no it wasn't i mean even they said at the time gene's territories are like oh i'd be shocked they ruled this a catch but you know they had to get their narrative but we won the next year so it doesn't matter the fact that they

ruled that a catch was just such yeah i remember I remember I was flipping out. And even I remember like even Eagles fans at my school were saying they they knew it wasn't whatever. Yeah, that's the issue, I think, is that that season they were already. I wouldn't say the Patriots were in hot water, but everyone blames the Patriots because they were the benefactors of it. The catch rule. I think that was the year when it was under so much fire because they ruled early on earlier on in that season they ruled against the steelers uh what was a touchdown an incomplete pass except for the fact that it was the correct ruling the issue was yeah i would say the issue wasn't with the actual process of the catch itself the issue is with the rule and

by that same logic cory clement never caught it because he already had one foot out of bounds but whatever and they and they went against it because they didn't want to face the blowback that they that they called it correctly again during the super bowl all the patriots got a got away with another one all the refs love the patriots also i i can't stand that i that argument that because a team is the best in the league, that the league loves them. The league would not love the best team. That's the villain. That's the team that everybody hates.

Do you think people in the league really want the Chiefs to win the Super Bowl? Do you think people are really scripting that the Chiefs win the Super Bowl, Travis Kelsey wins Super Bowl MVP, and then he proposes to Taylor. Most people do not want to see that. The league doesn't care what the fans want to see. They just want to make money. When I say yeah, I'm not saying that I agree with you.

People are still going to watch. People are still going to watch regardless if they like it or not. They're going to make more money if you see more teams winning that, it just makes no sense that you have the same team winning every year. If you were, if you were to script that,

then whoever is writing the scripts needs to be fired because no one is going to, people are going to watch that a lot less. They may still tune in because it's the NFL, but they're going to watch it less. So this idea that it's scripted is just, it's stupid all right floodster sports zone said t higgins touchdown versus rams too bad game went south afterwards

it was a face mask after that yeah he was grabbing jaylen ramsey's face mask but missed calls happen i do i i am one who does not blame refs for anything because it happens um even the even the last call that we were just talking about because like yeah they messed it up but it doesn't excuse the fact that the patriots defense was terrible in that game that's the real reason they lost um and also brady fumbled i'll just be unbiased there yeah he did all right colin ray said von miller strip sack for my broncos this uh and also uh cam newton having a chance to jump on it but he jumped back because he didn't want to get his hands dirty now it's really something yeah i never understood why he didn't because

he had every opportunity to recover it and he did not he did and the i feel like if that panthers team had a little more sack they probably would have won the game it feels like once they got once they got punched in the mouth, they turtled. And you could tell they looked like a defeated team after that Super Bowl. They didn't seem to be very like, yeah, we messed up. They were, I mean, you had Josh Norman crying on the sidelines. And granted, it is a Super Bowl loss, so it's tough. I understand it's tough.

But the fact that they didn't put in much effort to fight their way back into that game. Cam Newton didn't speak to the press. And again, I understand that it's a tough situation. But there's something about Cam Newton that he didn't belong in the Super Bowl. And I'll say to this day, if the Patriots somehow beat the Broncos in the AFC Championship game, it would have been smooth sailing in the Super Bowl for the Patriots too. That was such a soft panthers team once they faced a real challenge they got they got smacked i mean i personally disagree but you know they're winning

that super bowl patriots are winning that super no i mean i personally i mean it's just that patriots like bill belichick is isn't he like oh and two against cam he's just because here's the thing bill i mean his whole time he played never had an answer for a scrambler newton would have i mean newton always played poorly against us but he always put up like 100 yards on the ground and two touchdowns that's why they won't ever beat us but whatever yeah but russian quarterbacks never win super bowls it doesn't happen yeah fair i mean to be mean, to be fair, I feel like Arizona that year probably would have a better shot. That's either here nor there. What's the next one? All right. Um, our last one was Cam Walsh who said, and he put in quotation marks, Joe Buck,

and he is in Patriots win the Superbowl. Brady has his fifth Superbowl 51, baby 28 to three. Uh, this is the only reason I don't think this is the greatest Superbowl of all time. if super bowl 51, baby 28 to three, uh, this is the only reason I don't think this is the greatest super bowl of all time is because you were down 28 to three to begin with. So in the third quarter, most people were doing laundry at that point. Yeah. Some people were like,

Oh, I still think they're coming back. Yeah, sure. But you're always going to get fans who are like that. But the general populace was thinking oh that's it most of my family was gone i was the only one watching at the time and then once they started coming back the the rest of the fam started started circulating back

into the living room i was still there and saying well they have a chance that they do this, this, this, and this, but that's the Patriots fan in me. And, um, the fact that they, I mean, let's, let's be real though. That game is play replayed 10 times over. They probably lose nine because it was just that it was that long of odds that they were facing that they, if you replay that game uh maybe they maybe the falcons actually make that field goal maybe they don't lose yardage on that play after the julio julio jones catch maybe they kick the field goal and that's it so that's something to think about what if what about the donta hightower force fumble what if he doesn't get to the quarterback in time what if it's just a sack and he doesn't lose the ball there are so many things that went right in that game that could have gone wrong for the patriots so just just thinking about all the things that went right it could have gone wrong just as easily um that being said it was

still a royal screw-up for the Falcons and they probably will never get away with, they will never get away from the 28 to three jokes. Those will, even if they win a couple of Super Bowls with another guy, those are still going to come up in the same way that it still comes up that the Patriots went 16 and 0 and then lost in the Super Bowl to the Giants. That's going to, that's going to stick with the Patriots for the rest of eternity. In the same way, it's going to stay with the Falcons, that 28-3, because you should have won that Super Bowl. All right, that does it for our Super Bowl memories. Next, we're going to do our final Super Bowl predictions for this game. Super Bowl 58, who wins? Final score, Super Bowl MVP. That's all next.

This is the Fumble Rooski Podcast. up and the pass is no sign yet. Edelman comes down with a football. They're saying it's a catch. It's in. Oh! Takes! Side-side! Touchdown!

Unbelievable! Swings it way down the field to Watkins! Sammy Watkins for the touchdown! Welcome back to the Fumble Rooski Podcast by Powerade 8 and Seeker Weapon Consulting. Adam Wright, CJ Medeiros, and Chris Kostic for the final segment of our fourth annual Super Bowl special. So here we are, Super Bowl 58, Chiefs 49ers. Games tomorrow. Who wins this game? Score prediction.

And who's the Super Bowl MVP? Chris? All right. On DraftKings, I'm going to be betting on the Chiefs. I'm going to be hammering the overs on McCaffrey and Pacheco for rushing yards. I expect this to be a pretty big ground game for the both of them. My Super Bowl MVP, it's going to end up being Mahomes, unless Kelsey ends up with, like like three touchdowns or whatever.

Um, but if we're going with the personal side, I will be rooting for the 49ers. And I hope that it'll be McCaffrey that wins Superbowl MVP. If the chiefs win final score will be, I want to go 31-28 Niners win I'm going to go 28-24 What do you think Is going to happen Just give me who you think is going to happen

Who's going to win That's what I think is going to happen You just gave me two different outcomes He means the Chiefs won So the Chiefs win thing is going to happen you just gave me two different outcomes he means there you go one so the chiefs win i'll go with the chief then the chiefs won chiefs win 31 28 my homes is your super bowl mvp pacheco and mcafree both go over in rushing yards all right cj i'm rooting for the niners but i think it's going to be Kansas City. If the Niners win, I will be jumping for joy.

But Kansas City will win because Mahomes is literally like Brady. It's not analytical, but you just can't bet against him. It seems like no matter the odds, no matter what happens, he just finds a way to pull it out. I mean, to be fair fair I'm going in I'm fully expecting there to be some phantom calls that go their way but I think it's going to come down to the Niners defense is going to stop them on a crucial fourth down they're going to do like a like a phantom pass interference and I just want to point out the last two Super Bowls,

there's been an extremely controversial holding or pass interference call. Remember with that one linebacker for Cincy and James Bradbury, even though they both committed them, I see no reason why that's going to change. And I think it's going to benefit the Chiefs. But overall, you should never be in a position, you know, where the refs can the refs can alter the game because they're only human. They can get it wrong too. But that being said, I think Kansas City is going to win and it's probably going to be somewhere in the neighborhood of like 27-23. And I'm going to go bold. I think Pacheco is going to be the MVP. I mean, granted it should have

been Damian Williams the first time they gave it to Mahomes regardless, but I think Pacheco is going to have like a big day giving me like a buck 50 plus two rushing touchdowns. I am going to go with the 49ers. I think the four, listen, I completely understand the Patrick Mahomes. He's like Tom Brady. You can't bet against him. I understand that. Tom Brady still lost some games. So he played in the league 23 seasons and he won seven Super Bowls.

That means that there's 16 seasons where the Patriots or a Tom Brady-led team did not win a Super Bowl. So even in the Super Bowl, Eli Manning beat him twice, and Nick Foles beat him once. Doesn't Brock Purdy, we don't know what Brock Purdy is, but doesn't he feel like that type of quarterback who would be like the Eli Manning or the Nick Foles who would just, it may not always look pretty, the defense or any pieces around him may help him,

but he will just get them there and make the throws that he needs to make in order to win this Super Bowl? Maybe. However, I will argue that for me, this kind of feels like we've mentioned it to death already. The 2018 Patriots where the cupboards pretty much bear Brady's got darn near nothing to work with, but they just found a way against the young hotshot Rams team. That's kind of my feeling going into this. However, for those at home,

I would like to say, as long as I've been on the show, I'm Owen to the last two years, picking the super bowls. So Kansas city fans, if I jinxed you, I'm sorry. Or you're not. So yeah, listen, the thing with that Rams team is I don't think people realize

it was actually pretty hurt on offense. Todd Gurley was playing, but he had a knee issue that really derailed his career from then on out. Also, Cooper Cupp tore his ACL during the regular season. Jared Goff, statistically, as a passer, did not look like the same player from that point on. So who did they lose? The Brock Purdy-led 49ers. Who did they lose? They haven't really lost anybody.

I mean, they lost some players for some time, but they have a full arsenal right now. So give me the 49ers. I think for a score, I'm going to give it 28-24. And I think for a Super Bowl MVP, I'm going to give it to Debo Samuel. Their most important piece. He's been leaned on the most, and I think he's going to be the guy to do it.

Doesn't mean Brock Purdy is going to suck in this game. He's still going to make the throws that he needs to make. Statistically, he might have a solid game, but I just think this is that type of Super Bowl where it's like the 2021 Rams. You have your favorite toy that you use, and you use them in the Super Bowl, and you ride them to a Super Bowl victory.

And I don't think Brock Purdy will have any problem with that because he gets a ring. He may not get all of the hardware. He may not get the Super Bowl MVP, but I think he's okay with sacrificing that to win a Super Bowl. Oh, by the way, yeah, I know, Adam, calm down. Drake has put 1.1 million on the Chiefs. Is the Drake curse real? He might be doing it on purpose. All right. Well, that's all the scheduled content that we have for today, but do we have anything else to talk about?
