Speaker 1: Funny Tuesday afternoon with one of the best to ever
Speaker 1: do it at the University of Utah, longtime NFL quarterback
Speaker 1: friend of the program. His name is Scott Mitchell. Scott,
Speaker 1: Happy Tuesday, sir.
Speaker 2: How are you, thanks, Bence. I'm doing great, and I'd
Speaker 2: love to still talk about the Super Bowl because it
Speaker 2: was It was very interesting, but really glad to be
Speaker 2: on a show.
Speaker 1: Appreciate the time as always, So let's get to it.
Speaker 1: You know, I don't love like the media cycle after
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl where it's like, what does this mean
Speaker 1: from a home's legacy?
Speaker 3: He lost a super Bowl?
Speaker 1: But I do want to ask you what sort of
Speaker 1: questions Jalen Hurts answered with that performance.
Speaker 3: I like him, I always have.
Speaker 1: I think he's a winner, and it felt like they
Speaker 1: were rushing the football with intent this season because they
Speaker 1: have a running back that is generationally special and Jalen's
Speaker 1: also very good with his legs to limit some turnovers
Speaker 1: and so he took a lot of heat because he
Speaker 1: has great wide receivers, but the numbers weren't always awesome.
Speaker 1: So let's start with the Philly side of things in
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts and what questions you think he answered with
Speaker 1: that's football MVP.
Speaker 2: I've always been a big fan of Jalen Hurts. I
Speaker 2: love how he handled all of the challenges in his career.
Speaker 2: You think back when he was at Alabama and lost
Speaker 2: his job after winning a national championship. I mean, he
Speaker 2: lost his job at halftime of a national championship and
Speaker 2: he stayed there and he held his head eye And
Speaker 2: that's not an easy thing to do. I mean, you're
Speaker 2: an athlete and you've been out there and you lose
Speaker 2: your jobs. It's about the worst thing that could happen
Speaker 2: to you. And he handled it so well. A lot
Speaker 2: of guys that quit, a lot of guys that go
Speaker 2: to another program. He graduated, he goes to Oklahoma, and
Speaker 2: then he's drafted as more of a novelty. He's drafted
Speaker 2: like as the next iteration of Tatsum Hill. He's just
Speaker 2: like Swiss army knife type of players. So I don't
Speaker 2: think I don't think the Eagles even said, oh, we
Speaker 2: really look at this guy as our franchise guy. And
Speaker 2: he played himself into it because he wasn't very good.
Speaker 2: He wasn't at throwing the football, I wasn't accurate at all,
Speaker 2: and kind of the same thing with Tatum Hill, and
Speaker 2: Tatum Hill tried to be a quarterback and just could
Speaker 2: never do it. He was just He's an awesome player.
Speaker 2: I'd love to have Taysom Hill on my team because
Speaker 2: there's so much he can do with him, but not
Speaker 2: as my quarterback. And Jalen Hurts has really done a
Speaker 2: number on his and really grown as a player throwing
Speaker 2: the football. You know he can run, you know that
Speaker 2: he's competitive, you know he's a winner, you know he's tough,
Speaker 2: But you got to throw the football in the NFL
Speaker 2: consistently if you're gonna get to that next level. And
Speaker 2: he somehow did it. And I don't know, because I'd
Speaker 2: like to sit down with him and find out how
Speaker 2: he did it, because so many guys don't and can't.
Speaker 2: And I mean Tim Tebow is another guy that was
Speaker 2: kind of this dual threat type of player and winner
Speaker 2: and all that stuff. But Tim Tebow just couldn't throw
Speaker 2: the football consistent enough to win it. And so when
Speaker 2: Kansas City, he just said in the Super Bowl, you're
Speaker 2: gonna have to beat this Jalen Hurts because Saint Quon
Speaker 2: Barkley isn't and we're gonna stop him. And I love
Speaker 2: the aggressiveness. I love to play to win mindset. I
Speaker 2: love that. Uh you know, he answered, he answered big,
Speaker 2: answered big running the football? He answered big, throwing it.
Speaker 2: He had an interception and he just moved on. You know,
Speaker 2: it didn't it didn't impact his play. He was definitely
Speaker 2: ready for the moment and and really elevated himself to
Speaker 2: to a different, a different level. And I just I
Speaker 2: love the guys that kind of overcome things, and I
Speaker 2: love the guys that are forgotten. I love the guys
Speaker 2: that you know, this is all about Patrick Mahomes in
Speaker 2: the in the Kansas City and their legacy and is
Speaker 2: now Patrick Mahomes kind of in that goat with Tom
Speaker 2: Brady conversation and Dalin Hurt says, you know, f you guys,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go win the Super Bowl. And I just
Speaker 2: love that.
Speaker 1: So at what point, Scott, did you believe this thing
Speaker 1: was done? Because it felt like Kansas City got knocked
Speaker 1: to the canvas and never fully regained their footing, and
Speaker 1: when they did, they were wobbled. And I just, you know,
Speaker 1: I'm watching with my entire family and they're asking me like,
Speaker 1: is this over? You know, after Cooper did gets to
Speaker 1: pick six and then later on AJ Brown with a
Speaker 1: touchdown pass. It's twenty four to zero, and I'm thinking,
Speaker 1: you know, twenty eight three Pats Falcons come back. I'm like, well,
Speaker 1: it's possible with fifteen hunderd center and Andy's gonna do
Speaker 1: something at halftime because they always do.
Speaker 3: And that that momentum never came.
Speaker 1: Man, it really just didn't outside of small incremental spurts
Speaker 1: here or there. At what point, Scott, from your vantage point,
Speaker 1: were you watching the game and you went, all right,
Speaker 1: that's it, it's done.
Speaker 2: I knew it was gonna be tough for Kansas City
Speaker 2: all game long. And that defense is stifling and they're
Speaker 2: they're amazing upfront. I mean everyone talks about upfront, and yes,
Speaker 2: the games are one up front on both sides of
Speaker 2: the ball, and Philadelphia, you know, won the football game
Speaker 2: on both. But that secondary is very athletic. They play
Speaker 2: tight coverage. The linebackers are athletic, they flow, you know,
Speaker 2: and what they do is they just don't give you
Speaker 2: anything extra and they make you work so hard that
Speaker 2: you have to you have to be very perfe I said,
Speaker 2: what you throw and you have to be very patient
Speaker 2: and methodical and and uh and and Kansas City just
Speaker 2: never was that that team. And uh, you know, I
Speaker 2: think a lot of people don't appreciate how well that
Speaker 2: the Eagles tackle, and and I just I've been on
Speaker 2: teams with defenses like this, where like you just it
Speaker 2: is so hard to get anything on that defense. And
Speaker 2: I saw that right from the beginning of the game.
Speaker 2: I said, it is going to be a long game.
Speaker 2: And Patrick Mahomes has started slow pretty much in all
Speaker 2: of the Super Bowls he's been and Tom Brady even
Speaker 2: talked about starting slow. But where they didn't hurt themselves,
Speaker 2: they didn't turn the ball over while they were trying
Speaker 2: to figure things out. And as soon as as soon
Speaker 2: as Patrick Mahomes is throwing interceptions, uh, you could see
Speaker 2: the game was over. And and and then and then
Speaker 2: of course to me, that dagger was the was the
Speaker 2: pick six. It just it really took all the air
Speaker 2: of it because what happens is everyone sees different from
Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes in big games than interceptions, and it's like, oh,
Speaker 2: he's throwing interceptions today. This is bad, right, So it
Speaker 2: just puts a really really bad thought and feeling and
Speaker 2: emotion in your head if you're a Kansas City fan.
Speaker 2: But before he's throwing interceptions, you could see he was
Speaker 2: never really comfortable in the pocket, and he's just because
Speaker 2: he didn't have to. He was like he was almost
Speaker 2: kidding to the end of his drop and then he
Speaker 2: was just scrambling and he was just he was just
Speaker 2: belling on it. And there were times where he could
Speaker 2: have bought enough time to get people open if he
Speaker 2: would move around in the pocket, but he was not
Speaker 2: good at feeling the pocket and staying in the pocket
Speaker 2: and throwing the second the one interception where the guy
Speaker 2: kind of got bull rushed into him, if he feels
Speaker 2: that a little bit and he slides just to his
Speaker 2: right and then he makes the throw, it's a big play.
Speaker 2: But he just didn't have a sensor, a feel for
Speaker 2: the pocket, when to stay in, when to leave, and
Speaker 2: when to move around and just and it was it
Speaker 2: was kind of shocking to me, Spence, because because he's
Speaker 2: so good and he was really like very average and
Speaker 2: so much that he was doing in that game.
Speaker 1: Shocking is the right adjective, Scott, because I'm with you,
Speaker 1: I'm sitting there watching just shaking my head. What did
Speaker 1: so Prior to Sunday, Patrick Mahomes was eight to zero
Speaker 1: against Vic Fangio, which is pretty wild because Vic Fangio
Speaker 1: has made a living confusing opposing quarterbacks. And it looked
Speaker 1: like they were getting a tremendous amount of pressure with
Speaker 1: only four which opens up so many things that you
Speaker 1: can do defensively. But from your vantage points schematically on defense,
Speaker 1: what did Philly do that seem to have Mahomes on
Speaker 1: his heels all game long?
Speaker 2: Well, it was really the pressure and it was kind
Speaker 2: of how the pressure was coming is they were they
Speaker 2: were really kind of squeezing the pocket, you know, with
Speaker 2: a lot of like bul rushing and and he was
Speaker 2: flushing early and when you and they played a lot
Speaker 2: of tight man coverage and they played a lot of
Speaker 2: that coverage in all of their games when and so
Speaker 2: Patrick usually is really decisive about when he runs, and
Speaker 2: he was he was really trying to stay in there
Speaker 2: because they did two deep safeties and man under a
Speaker 2: lot of the time, which is which is a very
Speaker 2: heavy pass type of defense. Like you're really trying to
Speaker 2: defend the pass when you do that, but the one
Speaker 2: vulnerable is the quarterback. Is no one's guarding the quarterback,
Speaker 2: and the safeties are deep, so you can run for days.
Speaker 2: And you just never saw that. So but when you
Speaker 2: play that tighte man coverage, it takes a little bit
Speaker 2: more time for guys to get open and he and
Speaker 2: he just wasn't willing to hang in the pocket long
Speaker 2: enough to let those routes develop. And and and the
Speaker 2: other part of it is you get man coverage spence,
Speaker 2: you pick a guy and you live with him, like
Speaker 2: because it's one on one. Everyone's got one on one coverage,
Speaker 2: So you just find the best, the guy you had
Speaker 2: the most confidence in, the guy you you know know
Speaker 2: can beat his his matchup. And and you just never
Speaker 2: saw that from Patrick and those because he could have
Speaker 2: gotten some of those throws off, he could have stayed
Speaker 2: in the pocket a little longer. And and then a
Speaker 2: lot of the routes were kind of vertical up the field.
Speaker 2: And and and you thah did this last season. Every
Speaker 2: every answer they had for man coverage was running down
Speaker 2: the field and you got to come with motion and
Speaker 2: bring people across the field, and uh, you know, it's
Speaker 2: it's a it's easier, which they did against Buffalo, and
Speaker 2: they didn't really do it against Philadelphia. And so it
Speaker 2: just it just was kind of Philadelphia, just the way
Speaker 2: they matched him up. And Patrick didn't really answer it
Speaker 2: with kind of staying in the pocket picking a guy,
Speaker 2: and he was just he just flushed way too quick.
Speaker 2: And it was because of that pressure and kind of
Speaker 2: that perceived pressure. You know, you started getting sacked and
Speaker 2: all of a sudden you're like, Okay, where's it coming
Speaker 2: from now? And you can't think that way as a quarterback.
Speaker 2: You just got to have a really bad memory of
Speaker 2: the past and just every plays a new play and
Speaker 2: you can't assume that the last play is going to
Speaker 2: be the next one, and so you gotta And it
Speaker 2: just felt like Patrick Mahomes, I mean, I want to say,
Speaker 2: the second series of the game, he was very uncomfortable
Speaker 2: in the pocket.
Speaker 3: So Scott, it's funny.
Speaker 1: I was just chuckling when I was doing a little
Speaker 1: show prep today, you know, cause a lot of people
Speaker 1: talk about Okay, well Lamar is twenty eight years old
Speaker 1: and Josh Allen twenty eight years old, Patrick Mahomes twenty
Speaker 1: nine years old. You know, those three dudes are often
Speaker 1: the guys you talk about is still in their twenties
Speaker 1: with a number of years of good football left to
Speaker 1: be played. Jalen Is twenty six, se Kwan's twenty eight,
Speaker 1: AJ Brown twenty seven, DeVante Smith twenty six. So like,
Speaker 1: we probably should have been talking a little bit more
Speaker 1: about Philly because they are good with most of their
Speaker 1: key players either in the beginning or in the middle
Speaker 1: of their prime. What are you willing to say about
Speaker 1: what you think they can be moving forward if they
Speaker 1: have you know, the right coaches, coaches in place, they
Speaker 1: have to replace their offensive coordinator, and of course you
Speaker 1: have to assume full health.
Speaker 3: But this roster is really good now.
Speaker 1: As a result of winning a Super Bowl, you lose
Speaker 1: coaches as a reference, and players want to get paid.
Speaker 1: But if we operate off the assumption that more or
Speaker 1: less this is the group that they run it back
Speaker 1: with next year, what are you willing to say about
Speaker 1: the potential of them maybe continuing to make deep playoff
Speaker 1: runs and maybe win multiple Super Bowls.
Speaker 2: They certainly went out because a year ago they were
Speaker 2: not very good defensively, and they got some guys through
Speaker 2: the draft, and they did a few they got the
Speaker 2: right pieces in place, and it changed everything for the team.
Speaker 2: And then they're healthy and they stay healthy and they
Speaker 2: have a great mindset where they really have bought into
Speaker 2: It's it's kind of a team concept. You know, Jalen
Speaker 2: Hurts is talking about all the other people, and everyone's
Speaker 2: talking about everyone else, and and so they they they
Speaker 2: don't have that typical what's in it for me? I
Speaker 2: want to get paid. I want to be the you know,
Speaker 2: they bought into the way we want a super Bowl
Speaker 2: was as a team. And you're a quarterback and you
Speaker 2: have a defense like that, it changes every how you play.
Speaker 2: You don't necessarily take shots that you don't have to.
Speaker 2: You can be more patient in what you do, and
Speaker 2: you have a great running back and you have this
Speaker 2: balance in in what you're doing. It's a lot like
Speaker 2: how Terry Bradshaw won four super Bowls with a great
Speaker 2: defense and they had a great running back. And I mean,
Speaker 2: it feels a very similar to that type of team.
Speaker 2: I'll just tell you I wouldn't I wouldn't bet against
Speaker 2: this Eagles team, uh in the future, because they know
Speaker 2: they've they've now won it, and they and they understand
Speaker 2: how to win it. And you have a quarterback that's
Speaker 2: really kind of risen to the the challenge of things,
Speaker 2: and you just have to. You just have to have
Speaker 2: that quarterback play at some point in a big game,
Speaker 2: in a big moment, and you were getting that. Now
Speaker 2: it'll it'll be hard, you know, because people try to
Speaker 2: figure out what they're doing. It's hard to repeat because
Speaker 2: everyone's now going to be gunning for you. I mean,
Speaker 2: people weren't looking at the They're looking at the Detroit Lions.
Speaker 2: They weren't looking at at Philadelphia, you know, this whole season,
Speaker 2: So that that'll shift around. And and you know, if
Speaker 2: if I was to say me personally today, who do
Speaker 2: I think the favorite to win next year Super Bowl?
Speaker 2: I would say it's the Philadelphia Eagles. And I hate
Speaker 2: the Eagles just so you know, I do not like
Speaker 2: that place. I cannot stand Philadelphia. I can't stand their fans.
Speaker 2: I've had really good friends who, you know, Doug Peterson
Speaker 2: who was the coach, and I was so happy for Doug. Uh,
Speaker 2: you know, I like the season those guys, and of
Speaker 2: course you know he was. But I just say Philadelphia,
Speaker 2: but they're probably the best team in the NFL right
Speaker 2: now going into next season.
Speaker 1: It could not happen to a worse fan base. You know,
Speaker 1: you want to be happy for fans to see their
Speaker 1: team win a Super Bowl. But I'm not happy for
Speaker 1: Philly fans.
Speaker 3: I'm with you.
Speaker 1: I've been to Philly a number of different times, and
Speaker 1: whether it's their football fans, they're basketball fans, they're just
Speaker 1: miserable people. What is it, Scott about sports fans that
Speaker 1: motivate people to burn a city after you win.
Speaker 3: I don't fully understand it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's a different breed of people, you know,
Speaker 2: I had. I mean, it's not the city of brotherly love.
Speaker 2: And of course when they're throwing snowballs and doing Santa
Speaker 2: Claus back in the day, you know that there's problems.
Speaker 2: I'll just tell I had family that went to games there.
Speaker 2: I played a playoff game there and I played about
Speaker 2: like Patrick Mahomes played in the Super Bowl in that
Speaker 2: playoff game, and my family had to leave, like they
Speaker 2: literally were afraid for their life in that game. It
Speaker 2: was so so bad. And that was back in Veterans
Speaker 2: Stadium when they actually had a jail and a judge
Speaker 2: that they would they literally put people in jail in
Speaker 2: the stadium. I mean, that's that's nowhere else in the
Speaker 2: United States, and it is. It's horrible. It's terrible and
Speaker 2: I I'm not a Philly.
Speaker 3: Fan, not now, I'm with you, Okay.
Speaker 1: On the other side, I think it would be a
Speaker 1: fool's errand to believe that this Kansas City Chiefs thing
Speaker 1: is done. Andy Reid coming back to coach, Patrick Mahomes
Speaker 1: coming back to play quarterback, and they do have some
Speaker 1: questions answer with their roster. It did feel a little
Speaker 1: bit like the Tampa loss. They just couldn't protect Mahomes.
Speaker 1: So they're gonna have to solidify that offensive line. I
Speaker 1: imagine they do, and maybe they come into camp with
Speaker 1: a healthy group of receivers and they don't have to
Speaker 1: wait for it. What are you expecting as a potential
Speaker 1: bounce back story from the Kansas City Chiefs.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that to me is like one of
Speaker 2: those fun things I like to watch, know because Patrick
Speaker 2: Mahomes said, I need to be better and and teams
Speaker 2: are playing me different and I got to figure out
Speaker 2: how to how to play against the way I'm being
Speaker 2: defended now and it's different than it used to be.
Speaker 2: And and you know, I look at Tom Brady where
Speaker 2: he he just he kind of went all in at
Speaker 2: the in the second half of his career, uh, with
Speaker 2: his his diet, his regimen, because so many people were
Speaker 2: just saying that the Patriot dynasty's over, you know, like
Speaker 2: at for Super Bowls, and they just kept winning and
Speaker 2: winning and winning, And a lot of it was because
Speaker 2: they they took kind of the middle of their run
Speaker 2: approach to we've got to we have to be a
Speaker 2: whole lot better, and we have to find a new
Speaker 2: edge and a new motivation. And and so I'm fascinated
Speaker 2: to see if Patrick Mahomes can do it. And I
Speaker 2: hope he can, because man, wouldn't it be fun to
Speaker 2: see Patrick mahomes game elevated, right, You're like, he's been
Speaker 2: really good. Can he take it to another level? And
Speaker 2: as a sportsman, you want to see that happens. I'm
Speaker 2: I'm curious to see if he'll be motivated by this
Speaker 2: and what he'll actually do, what he'll put his body
Speaker 2: through in the future, you know, And I hope so.
Speaker 2: And I think the same thing for Andy Reid. You know,
Speaker 2: maybe it's like, look there's still gas in the tank.
Speaker 2: I still want to do this. We've got to be better.
Speaker 2: I've got to be better. And a lot of times
Speaker 2: these losses can really propel teams and players to a
Speaker 2: new level and a different level, and we're the beneficial
Speaker 2: fisiaries of seeing greatness when that happens.
Speaker 1: I wanted to kick the tires with you and your
Speaker 1: thoughts as a former NFL quarterback that has made his
Speaker 1: way in the world of media, on your take with
Speaker 1: Tom Brady calling games now? Andrew Marshawn from The Athletic
Speaker 1: wrote a really interesting piece kind of chronicling in the
Speaker 1: negotiations between five and the Murdoch family and Brady because
Speaker 1: look for Greg Olsen. To me, he's my favorite. Troy
Speaker 1: Aikman does a great job, and you know, they all
Speaker 1: work their tails off and they're all prepped for it
Speaker 1: and all that. But I was disappointed not to see
Speaker 1: Gray continue on as that lead analyst. But look, Tom Brady,
Speaker 1: the brand of Tom Brady is the brand of Tom Brady.
Speaker 1: And one hundred and thirty seven point seven million people
Speaker 1: watch the Super Bowl and the majority of them probably
Speaker 1: knew who Tom Brady was, even if they're not big
Speaker 1: football fans, whereas a lot of people probably don't know
Speaker 1: who Greg Olsen is, even though I think he's awesome
Speaker 1: at his job. I thought it started out really rough
Speaker 1: this year, and honestly, I don't think he's great at it.
Speaker 1: Maybe he evolves and becomes better, but it seems like
Speaker 1: he's just And I'm not hating on him. They paid
Speaker 1: him three hundred and seventy five milk, go get your bag,
Speaker 1: But is he relying too much on his brand and
Speaker 1: not necessarily doing the.
Speaker 3: Work to be a great broadcaster? Want to get your
Speaker 3: take on that.
Speaker 2: So is someone who's gotten into this and one of
Speaker 2: the hardest things that I've ever done, and do his
Speaker 2: broadcast football games on the radio. You have a really
Speaker 2: small window to say something that's descriptive, intelligent and insightful,
Speaker 2: and you can't get wordy, and you can't pontificate for
Speaker 2: a long period of time like you have to, and
Speaker 2: and and you want to be entertaining, right, You want
Speaker 2: to you want to engage people, and you know, I
Speaker 2: always want to tell people what's happening and do it
Speaker 2: in a way that people can understand. But also, uh,
Speaker 2: you know, people want to listen to it. And I
Speaker 2: agree with you, you know, because I was really excited
Speaker 2: about Tom Brady broadcasting because no one has his experience
Speaker 2: and I just want to hear how he views the
Speaker 2: game and how he sees things. And that's as a
Speaker 2: as a former player, that's what I really want to hear,
Speaker 2: because nobody has his experience in in the in the NFL.
Speaker 2: Ever and and uh, you know, and and and I
Speaker 2: can kind of feel as pain little bit about him
Speaker 2: trying to really give people really insightful stuff, and he's
Speaker 2: still just a little too wordy with it, a little
Speaker 2: bit too you know, almost dry, almost forced, you know,
Speaker 2: And and it's almost like he's, you know, not super comfortable
Speaker 2: or relaxed with it. Will he get really good at it?
Speaker 2: You know? I don't know if he does or he doesn't.
Speaker 2: And and I don't, I don't know. I know he's
Speaker 2: the kind of guy that will you know, he's just
Speaker 2: he's just he's just he'll figure it out eventually. But yeah,
Speaker 2: he's not. He's not my favorite. I'm still I'm still
Speaker 2: interested in what he has to say because I I
Speaker 2: don't like the announcers that sound so amazing and then
Speaker 2: they tell you nothing, because it just drives me. Bina's like,
Speaker 2: are you watching this game like you're not really telling us?
Speaker 2: Because I know what's going on, and you're not telling
Speaker 2: us what's going on, and so I'm more of I
Speaker 2: want someone who's gonna gonna give me what's actually going
Speaker 2: on in the game. Do it concise, be entertaining, not
Speaker 2: too worthy. And you know every day when I come
Speaker 2: on your show, I prep all day for what I'm
Speaker 2: going to say. By the way, Spence, so I don't
Speaker 2: you know, I don't disappoint.
Speaker 1: You, but oh it comes across, Scott, it comes across
Speaker 1: the airways anyways.
Speaker 2: So yeah, I'm still yeah, I don't know, and I'm
Speaker 2: agree with you. I love Greg Olds. I thought he
Speaker 2: was awesome. I think he's really good.
Speaker 3: Last thing, Scott.
Speaker 1: Then I'll set you loose because I reference the overnight
Speaker 1: splits And I'm fascinated by ratings because in this day
Speaker 1: and age of the business of sports, live TV rights
Speaker 1: are paying the bills, and live TV rights are making
Speaker 1: a lot of people a lot of money. And one
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty seven point seven mil at its peak
Speaker 1: in the second quarter was the number. And you combine
Speaker 1: that with about fourteen to fifteen MILI and streaming about
Speaker 1: two MILI with the Spanish broadcast, we're talking about north
Speaker 1: of one hundred and forty five million people watching a
Speaker 1: sporting event. How would you articulate the way football has
Speaker 1: captured the market share in the United States and and
Speaker 1: ultimately do you feel like it's going to continue to
Speaker 1: go in the right direction for the NFL.
Speaker 2: Well, it's to me, it's all in how the distribution happens,
Speaker 2: you know, through streaming and where where all that goes.
Speaker 2: I'll tell you one of the things I think that
Speaker 2: makes football interesting is gambling. And I say that and
Speaker 2: I think a lot of people tune in it. They
Speaker 2: made it so much easier to bet on on the
Speaker 2: sport and that that you get a lot of interest
Speaker 2: from that. And I don't see that going away anytime soon.
Speaker 2: And you look at you look at shows on television,
Speaker 2: and football is the highest rated show on anything ever.
Speaker 2: And it's it's compelling, there's a there's a really I
Speaker 2: think the NFL has done a tremendous job of creating
Speaker 2: interest in you know, here you have Kansas City that's
Speaker 2: not a big market team, but they've garnered a lot
Speaker 2: of interest you know, nationally and maybe internationally. Uh And
Speaker 2: and they're not one of the bigger markets. So the
Speaker 2: NFL has done a really good job of being very
Speaker 2: inclusive in all its teams, the whole idea of parody. Uh,
