got Kid here on site as well, and we got
a great show planned for you today. Uh so we're
here Radio Row. It's a lot going on, a lot
of cool activations. I gotta say, dude, you've heard me
make a lot of tongue in cheek jokes about the
Bounty paper towel installation here, the activation as uh, you know,
the marketing people would say, uh, but for the first
time yesterday I sucked from the Free Wings and my god,
they make good wings, dude, body does yes?
Speaker 3: Did you have any No? You know me? Oh my,
I didn't have to. I wouldn't fry, but I wouldn't
have time to eat wings.
Speaker 4: But I look over and my producer for the second
show I do over there was serious is just going
to town.
Speaker 3: They're incredible. I'm like, hey, I guess they didn't have
any more.
Speaker 2: They're actually really good wings, and they're pretty much unlimited.
I went back three times, just kept getting fresh boxes
of wings. They're big boxes. I mean, you have five wings, relaxed,
it's fifteen weeks. Okay, so the asual the box did
look bigger though.
Speaker 3: No, yes, we have a lot of you know, we
have a lot of wasted space.
Speaker 2: I get in a bag of chips and it's less
than half full. That said, they give you a little
buffalo sauce. You choose blue cheese rants. They got some
sort of wing stuff. Also, I got to give a
shout out to the lambeau Field activation over here. So
of course the draft going down at Lambo. And look
who among us doesn't love cheese curds. If you've never
had him, you want some locally and ban rouge the
merchant has very good cheese curds. Me and Alice actually
got some after the Father Daughter dance on Friday, which
that was awesome, but they had some brots. Some brots
were fine, But I had never heard of this. So
I love food that is of a region that is
similar to food from the region you're from, right, Like
when it gets cold, what do you eat?
Speaker 3: Right? Chili is always the nugget here, it's gumbo.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 2: They do chicken boo yah, which is a hell of
a nag. Yeah, dude, they call a little chicken boo Yeah.
I guess just everybody brings them. You just dump it
in the stew, cook it up. I think I mostly
just love the name chicken boo yah. Shout out Stuart Scott.
But no, seriously, tasting some of the bou yah it was.
Speaker 4: Cupcakes yesterday too, I think, yeah, yeah, that's.
Speaker 2: That's the Pitts. I mean, that's Pittsburgh. Come on, Pittsburgh.
You tell me what Pittsburgh. But I mean, come on, dude,
you're telling me, uh, cupcakes are your are your regional strength?
Speaker 4: I don't even know, like what Pittsburgh is known for.
Speaker 2: Oh, I'm sorry, Pittsburgh's having the Draft Lambo's having the
super Bowl?
Speaker 3: Is that what that is? No, Lambo is having the
draft this year. Next draft is gonna be Pittsburgh. Okay.
Super Bowl is in Santa Clara next year. Yeah yeah,
but no Pittsburgh.
Speaker 2: That would be one food pepperoni rolls, uh from the
Pittsburgh Hogies.
Speaker 3: There you go. That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: And they're out here serving cupcakes and Lambo's putting him
to shame with brats and kurds and chicken boo yah.
Speaker 3: For what what are they famous for? I don't I don't.
I don't give a damn their cupcake.
Speaker 4: You just can't throw famous in front like the cookies
famous amos. And they try to, you know, just throw
that out there in front of the.
Speaker 2: Hard hard No, no, I know, I know, but but
a but a a cookie like that is always going
to be a bit hard.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I guess it's okay. And for being said hard, Yo,
what's up man? What's going on?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: I was about saying we got the carpet and samboni
rolling by the said hell, yeah, I can't have that
in front of us, all right. So I did want
to give Bounty a shout outs. I feel like I
made a lot of jokes, but their wings are fantastic.
I'm looking at the OutKick set a distinctive lack of limes.
Speaker 3: No idea.
Speaker 2: What's going on in the line market right now. I
think Stu got some LeBatard are gonna be here today.
Speaker 3: Very excited about that.
Speaker 2: You got mag for it here ESPN radar behind us.
So it's really cool out here, guys.
Speaker 3: Sow.
Speaker 7: Michael Brocker's yesterday was large yelling yep, yep, large, very
large human now in the in the podcast space, and
apparently Elandri saw my guy, Cam Hayward, who I'm hoping
comes by.
Speaker 3: Come on, yeah, I told you last year.
Speaker 4: I caught up with him and he remembers obviously like
playing for your dad.
Speaker 2: Uh yeah, bro, little league football? Yeah, I mean I remember.
I mean we played Little League for years together. I
remember Cam's dad, Ironhead, getting kicked out of the park
because he showed up at one of the practices and
started spraying all the other parents with the water gun.
Speaker 3: Yep, the super soaker.
Speaker 2: I remember Cam in high school winning state championship at
Petrie Ridge.
Speaker 3: I remember y'all playing him. I say, y'all I was
on the sideline.
Speaker 2: But he was a starter on that seven Ohio State
team as a true freshman. Now he's in an NFL
All Decade Team member and future Hall of Famer and
is somehow still playing the game.
Speaker 3: Yeah, gosh, I mean you said that.
Speaker 4: I started thinking about some of the names on the
Ohio State team on defense. James leronidis, Malcolm Jenkins was
on there, Vernon Golston was on there.
Speaker 3: Marcus Freeman say, guy was on there? Guy. I feel
like I'm missing, like one really good player. Who's the pastor?
O Vernard Goldsen.
Speaker 4: You already said, hey, Coleman, a safety that played a
long time in the NFL.
Speaker 3: There's one more, though, there's one more. That's a good defense.
Speaker 4: It was a very good defense until they ran into y'all. Dude,
shut out. I mean you two times Scout Team Player
of the Week.
Speaker 3: It's true. It's true. You got us ready for him.
Shut out Beanie Wells wherever you had dog.
Speaker 4: I saw Beanie Wells really National Championship game. He's working
for CBS. Now, Yeah, he came and said hello to me.
Speaker 2: Uh yes, Scott says parog He served up on a
steel plate for Pittsburgh. Yeah, I mean, come on, give
me some give me some progies too. Uh ironic a
city over having history of hard and steel workers in
your food is cupcakes?
Speaker 3: Agreed?
Speaker 4: Yeah, you should have grits, agreed anything. God, I love grits. Yeah,
good grits to me. Grits are actually really easy to
make poorly. But when you make him right, and I
think the secrets just like more butter. It's like, do
you have no butter? No putting more butter?
Speaker 3: There? Oh my god, what a treat. What a treat.
Speaker 2: Okay, So, as you can tell, guys, I'm a bit excited.
I'm a bit all over the place.
Speaker 3: Here's what we do to you.
Speaker 2: A little early break right here, and then we're gonna
come back and we're gonna lock in.
Speaker 3: We're gonna kick off today's show.
Speaker 2: Uh. Zach Bond addressed his time here in New Orleans
and where he places the blame for his rise. I
have a ton of insane Patrick Mahomes stats to break down.
I want to talk a little bit about Steve Spagnolo.
I've decided that I hate Travis Kelsey on swaying that
in a little bit. Uh, Elis here is a new quarterback.
Commit We got a lot to get you on today's show.
So if you wanna hang out, YouTube dot com, Slash one,
O four five, ESPN, keep it locked right there and

is Alandra asking Michael Brockers to pronounce a bunch of
Louisiana name.
Speaker 3: You know your classic right.
Speaker 2: We got chunked to the chopping tools, pons train wash

Speaker 3: So watch tall is oouly.
Speaker 2: I was watching some Eagles players as well do this

gonna be honest, take as someone who moved here watched
Tall was probably one of the last ones.
Speaker 3: That I learned. It's it's it's a it's a tough one.
It's a tough one. Some of that Native American influence.
An I guess that's what I mean.
Speaker 2: Kato Parish, you know Shreeport for the yea who can

That's impressive.
Speaker 2: The man didn't know Roman numerals and yet somehow knew
how to spell naked is from from memory.
Speaker 4: Because I wasn't born in Roman times. Okay, lay off me.
You have a Roman numeral tattoo? Yeah, I know twenty two.
That one's easy. A couple a couple of eyes. Don't worry,
I got I got judge. I'm trying to find out.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I saw Katie texted you. Oh she straight up
texted me.
Speaker 4: What kind of meathead doesn't know basic Roman numerals? Yeah,
what's the text?
Speaker 2: You know, there's a lot to Know's a lot to
know when you're doing nine hours of radio a day.
Uh but yeah, Brockers, I forgot brock one from Louisiana,
originally from Texas, originally lsu Lego is great to see broadcastterday.
Speaker 3: I want to catch up with them. Good day.
Speaker 2: Anyway, let's go ahead and get today's show started.
Speaker 1: It's time to get to work courtesy of Tiger Labor
and Staffing where they can help take care of screening, training,
payroll and more.
Speaker 2: Now for starters, Tiger Labor Saving for Right's local staffing
solutions for warehouse, construction and manufacturing positions. Whether you need
help with timporary labor, long term high we have you
cover with skilled, depitable workers, locally owned and operator. We
are proud to serve ben Rougeria business with fast, flexible service.
So if you're dealing with no calls or no shows,
this is one of your short staff. Give Tiger Labor
a staffing a call, let them meet your workforce needs.
All right, Jaki, A few different ways that we could
start here, but I say we start talking super Bowl
since it's the reason for the season. Okay, and I
have some insane Patrick Mahomes'.
Speaker 3: Stats for you that are going to blow your mind.
Speaker 2: I'm sure maybe not, because I'm sure you have many
as well as you've been hosting Super Bowl Radio Series
one oh six from ninety twelve every day. But here's
one that Taylor put in to start that I don't
know as a starter. Patrick Mahomes is more likely to
make the Super Bowl than he is to complete a pass,
which what that's a very fun one, Tae. He's made
the Super Bowl seventy one point four percent of his career.
He completed sixty six point six percent of his pass
on his crew.
Speaker 3: Yeah, sixty sixty six Patty numerology, Hattie.
Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes is seventeen and three in the postseason.
Speaker 3: That that dog Behunt just moved.
Speaker 2: Into uh sole possession of second place, passing Joe Montana.
He only trails Tom Brady's thirty five wins, so for
what it's worth, Tom pretty incredible as well, But seventeen
and three already for Mahomes.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 2: In terms of other Chiefs stats, Andy Reid is twenty
eight playoff ws a's second old time on Belichick's thirty one.
Speaker 3: Here's where it starts to get insane.
Speaker 2: I told you the Trey Wingo stat about the you know,
the seven to seven clutch opportunities whatever. But Patrick Mahomes
has trailed in the fourth quarter in nine and this
comes from Josh Tubo of the AP. He's trailed in
the fourth quarter in nine playoff games. He has comeback
wins in six of them, and in the three losses
he forced overtime twice. He has a one thirty two
rating with five touchdown passes, one touchdown run went down
one to eight points in the fourth quarter or overtime,
and he's led scores on thirteen of the fourteen drops.
So again, the most clutch player you can possibly ask you.
This is the craziest thing you'll ever hear, though, this
is the actual one.
Speaker 3: Jake Patrick Mahomes in.
Speaker 2: His career when trailing in the fourth quarter is twenty
seven and twenty six. The man has a winning record
when trailing in the fourth quarter. And you might be thinking, Okay,
that's that's ridiculous, dude, But here's the deal. The next
closest on the list is Darryl Lamonica with a three
eighty six win percentage.
Speaker 3: So Patrick Mahomes over five hundred when trailing in the Force.
Speaker 2: Next on the list, second place all time, three eighty six.
Speaker 4: Again nobody, It's yeah, it's so hard to win a
game when you're trailing in the NFL and the other
team's figured you out and they have that lead. For
you to be, you know, somewhere over four hundred winning
percentage would be crazy. I mean that would be the
record if it wasn't for Mahomes, right, yeah, yeah, for
you to be over five hundred, it's ludicrous.
Speaker 2: And Lamonica doesn't have the sample size that Mahomes has.
Speaker 4: No, Like, all these stats are and that's the completion
percentage is great, Taylor, I'm going to steal that.
Speaker 3: I'll site out.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I work the first time and then it's mine.
Speaker 3: Ye.
Speaker 4: Also, if Patrick Mahomes wins this Super Bowl MVP, he'll
join two players as the only players to win a
championship MVP in three straight seasons among all players in
the NFL, NBA, the MLB, and NHL history. Can you
get they're both from the NBA, So Michael Jordan's obviously one.
Speaker 2: Yes, Uh, it's gotta be ooh man, it's gotta be
either somebody from Celtics or Lakers.
Speaker 3: I'm between Bill Russell and Magic. I'll go Magic. Think close,
Think closer to home, closer to home.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I have no idea Shack Shack Diesel in the
Lakers three PTE ninety nine, two thousand and two.
Speaker 3: Of course, Yes.
Speaker 4: And with another Super Bowl MVP, Mahomes would join Michael
Jordan six times, Tom Brady five, Lebron James four as
the only players in NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL history with
four championship MVPs.
Speaker 2: For what it's worth, Mahomes will also will also be
making his fifth start in a Super Bowl. He joins
John Elway and Tom Brady as the only quarterbacks ever
to achieve that. Brady was thirty four when he did it.
Lway was thirty nine, Mahomes just twenty.
Speaker 3: Nine years old. Here's a tweet from MARGI three.
Speaker 2: The Chiefs have won nine straight AFC West Championships, three
straight AFC Conference championships, third rate Super Bowl three, first
ever in history.
Speaker 3: Know that? How about this, Jake?
Speaker 2: The Chiefs have won seventeen consecutive one score games seventeen seventeen.
They won an entire NFL season's worth in a row
of one score games, won nine straight playoff games. It's
one shive of the record to the first ever in
NFL history to reach five Super Bowls in a six
year span.
Speaker 3: Oh and how about this, Jake.
Speaker 2: I know that you would feel very prideful about this,
as we all would, because I mean, I have some
of this collegs that this is probably my favorite stat.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 2: But the Chiefs finished ten and zero in erahead this year, mkable,
just to give you an idea of how much home
field advantage mattered to that team. So those are some uh,
those are some interesting Patrick Mahomes stats to blow your mind.
Speaker 4: One score regular season games they won this year. One
score games in one single season that they won.
Speaker 3: Do you know eleven?
Speaker 2: It's Uh, it's insane, man, and and and and all
this is to bribe. Well, we'll do an Eagles run
down later, but all this is to provide context of
what the Philadelphia Eagles are up against.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 2: We thought the career that Tom Brady had amassed would
be untouchable, and by all rights it should be. And
yet here we sit the prince that was promised. Patrick Mahomes. Uh,
the young phenom is already challenging. Pacing ahead is more
remarkable than anybody else to ever play a game. As
we said yesterday, in playoff scenarios where there's a minute
or less left and the offense has the ball with
the chance to score or tie it, the offense gets
the job done forty percent of the time. Tom Brady's
one of the best ever. He had six of eleven.
He was six of eleven on his opportunities to do so,
Breeze one of the best ever three of six. Mahomes
is seven of seven. It's it's it's just eerie and
how otherworldly it is now after all this Mahomes glazing,
I do want to take this opportunity to knock a
Chiefs out their knees out from under them a bit
because uh f Travis Kelcey, Dude, did you hear what
Travis Kelsey had to say about some of the local cuisine,
which again, I'm not even one of those guys that's
like super like you know, like like like like I.
Speaker 3: Don't want to use that word yet.
Speaker 2: I'm not like, you know how some people have come
almost over the top prideful in our field and everything
point where it's like a bit too much.
Speaker 3: I'm not necessarily that what he meant say. His quotes
fisted me off.
Speaker 2: He says, quote, I'm not a gumbo guy, and I'm
out on Jumbalaya. He called Jumbalaya pooey and called gumbo
a soupy rice, saying I like seafood, I just don't
like it in a soup, in a brown soup. And look,
just because I don't like spicy crab legs doesn't mean
I don't like the city.
Speaker 3: That's look whatever, Travis.
Speaker 2: All I'm saying is I don't trust the man who
could eat a bowl of gumbo and not emerge out
the other side saying that was delicious, Like, no wonder
you're Dayton Taylor Swift. You've been doing a lot of
stolen bal or spice your entire career.
Speaker 3: We've been thinking you are.
Speaker 2: Part of the culture, and you're gonna call Jumbalaya pooy
freaking nerd.
Speaker 3: Get out of here, dude, screw you, Travis.
Speaker 4: Yeah, the Jumbalaya take is one thing. The gumbo is ridiculous, ridiculous.
Can't trust that man and does not know the TLC
that goes into a proper room and what it takes
to make a proper gumbo.
Speaker 2: Uh, it infuriates me. It infuriated me. So again, where
is he from? Is he from Cincinnati? With that with
those taste buds, we went to Cincinnati. I mean he
probably like skyline Chile.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna say yes, I'm still never headscone. No, he's
from Ohio. Duh, Yeah, Cincinnati, Ohio? Is that Cincinnati though?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 3: Sorry, Westlake?
Speaker 4: Wow, you're right, Okay, from Cleveland. He's from the Mistake
by the Lake. Okay, yeah, what do you what do
you only like from Ohio? Unsalted white bread? To be
fair to you, though, I mean it's the Kentucky Line
over the bridge into Ohio a Cincinnati.
Speaker 3: Yeah there, I mean there you go.
Speaker 4: So it whispers to Kentucky that close to Kentucky, Yeah,
whispers to it.
Speaker 3: It's a bridge. Yeah. Oh that's insane, dude, No idea,
no idea.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Jake, what do you all got coming up on
the Super Bowl radio day? Like what what interesting factoids
have you found in your in your research?
Speaker 4: So actually, like today is going to be a big
day for us and having kind of some unique guests,
like we're going to have the flyover, like just the
Marines that are doing the flyover, they're all gonna come.
I'm gonna get a chance to interview, interview all five
of them into you know, big year for the Marines
this year.
Speaker 3: I believe two hundred and fiftieth birthday this.
Speaker 4: Year for the Marines, and you know, obviously my dad
and grandfather being a Marine. That's gonna be something that
I'm looking forward to. Gosh, I'm trying to think, Uh,
Malik Neighbors I believe, is coming over to US super
Bowl Radio.
Speaker 3: So that'll be fun. Little LSU brethren there, so we've
got some good stuff. CHRISA.
Speaker 4: Thompson from Fox is coming over. I'm trying to think.
It's like so many guests, it's like just the most
after Monday and Tuesday, kind of swimming in the deep end.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, that's what you love to see when you
sell a hosting. Mayans, what are you doing on your phone?
You've been doing that for like ten minutes straight? She
listening for anyway?
Speaker 2: All right, guys, when we get back here on OTV,
let's talk about the New Orleans States. What did Zach
Bond have to say? Who did he place the blame
on as to what went so wrong in New Orleans?
We'll discuss next here on off the bench. Off the bench,
Hey guys, wanna remind you about our brand new friends
at Boudro's Electrical.
Speaker 3: If you want a generat.
Speaker 2: Home generator that's gonna keep your family safe and keep
the lights on when the crap hits the fan, Boudro's
Electrical has your back. And again I think the key
separating factory are First off, they are one of the
premier generack dealers in the state. They have nine certified
technicians through Generak, which is incredibly rare.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 2: But to me, what separates is the customer service. This
is a family run business where everything is based off
of what is bet for the customer.
Speaker 3: When you're talking about.
Speaker 2: The generator business in the state. A lot of those
other companies they've been bought up by private equity national corporations.
You mean nothing to them, your number on a spreadsheet.
Not the case with Boudros. Do They give you twenty
four to seven service to make sure that your system
is always ready to go.
Speaker 3: Go to Boudroxelectrical dot com today.
Speaker 4: Go to that website and you can check out all
the things they can do for you. But real quick
also go to the Google machine type it in you
will see the Google reviews. Remember at the Senior Ball
they had forty five with a five point zero rating.
Now they're already up to fifty three with a five
point zero rating.
Speaker 3: Go to Boudroxelectrical dot com.
Speaker 6: You have that time to listen to me whin they're
bout nothing in everything? Allow once, I am one of
those mala dramatic bulls.
Speaker 3: Do not into the phone downtown about it.
Speaker 1: Off the Bad with Hester and T Bob Live from
Super Bowl fifty nine Radio Row in New Orleans, presented
by Low Bears Casino Hotel, Baton Rouge.
Speaker 3: What's up, y'all?
Speaker 2: Welcome back to OH T b We're hanging out here
on super Bowl Radio ROA shout out to the Bear's
Tino Hotel rabbits out of You're very excited, little bears
to be out here, really excited to be out here.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree.
Speaker 2: Brian Kelsey don't know what he's taken talking about that
take on gumbo. Now, look, I don't know. Granted, gumbo
is an interesting thing we're sometimes at restaurants. I don't
like it as much as like you're more traditional homemade gumbos,
but still still to eat that and emerge the other
side saying it's not good.
Speaker 3: Lost major points.
Speaker 2: Thank god for Jason Kelsey, who disagreed with his brother
when he was spouting this nonsense.
Speaker 4: That's all the matter is that the lineman, the guy
whose food takes, I'm going to actually appreciate and probably
respect and probably follow him down the path.
Speaker 2: Jake, do you want to hear the funniest headline I've
ever read?
Speaker 3: I feel like that's saying something.
Speaker 2: From today's time picking you quote, here's what Saints kicker
Blake Groopy has to say about the team's ongoing coaching search.
Are you excited to know what Blake Groopy has to say?
Speaker 3: Jake?
Speaker 4: I cannot wait to find out what the kicker of
the team, who's like three missfield goals away from not
being the kicker, has to say about the coaching search.
Speaker 3: He said, quote, A decision will be made soon. That's it. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Well, he did go on to say, quote, I don't
need to know the offense, man, I just need to
keep kicking. So that's what Blake Grooby had to say
about the ongoing coaching search for the New Orleans Saints.
All right, now, what did Zach Bond have to say
about what happened in New Orleans versus what happened in Philadelphia.
For what it's worth, you know, many of the questions
were kind of leading Zac say, is it an organizational
failure on the Saints part for not putting you where
you need it to be, not putting your positions, seed,
playing drivers well, et cetera, et cetera, And Bond was
he's very gracious, you know which, of course he is, right.
I mean, the guy's fresh off of first team All
Pro season where he was a Green dot for the
Philadelphia Eagles. He had one hundred and fifty one tackles
this year, five forced fumbles, three and a half sacks,
one pick, stuffing the statue, playing with supreme confidence, a
man who can reflect on the adversity that led him
here to the glory. But for what it's worth, he
did not blame the New Orleans Saints for not fighting him.
He kind of put it on himself, saying that he
had to kind of find himself. But I'm I don't know, man,
I kind of I feel like we should speak for
Zach here because I just don't know that I agree.
Because Philadelphia signed him to be that pass rusher and
mainly like a core special teamer.
Speaker 3: But then when Vic.
Speaker 2: Fangio got eyes on him, he saw, oh wait, this
guy can play linebacker. Yeah, and it worked out perfectly.
So as gracious as Zach is trying to be, I
don't agree. I think it was an organizational failure because
they didn't recognize with him. Now I can't give him
Mario Davis yet Pe Warner, they're.
Speaker 3: Good as well. That becomes a bit tough.
Speaker 2: But credit to a defensive mind like Vic Fangio for
finding that Aladdin esque diamond in the rough.
Speaker 4: I mean, but he was a player that I don't
think you had to find the needle in the haystack.
I think you just didn't do a good enough job
of realizing what you had. Because when he was drafted
to we talked about this on Monday. He was a
third round pick, but everybody was surprised that he fell
to the third round, like it was a shocking thing.
Very talented player at Wisconsin did multiple things for them,
and it just never felt like he had an opportunity
in New Worlds is not the right opportunity. You try
to kind of make him something that he wasn't and so,
because you can't just go from not good enough to
play on a team that missed the playoffs to first
team All Pro on a super Bowl team and not
have what it takes to be a dude in the NFL.
Speaker 3: Like the Eagles coaches are good, they ain't that good.
They didn't just.
Speaker 4: Magically turn a guy into his fifth year in his
career into an All Pro. It was there, you just
didn't get it out of it, like you didn't put
him in those positions.
Speaker 3: Yeah, to succeed and show you what he could do. No,
I mean, that's okay.
Speaker 2: It's like we talked about yesterday, what is my favorite
trait that a coach has? And it's very tough, but
it is to correctly identify my personnel and how to
best employ them rights probably the sagam most important trait
you can have. It's it's something that is maybe the
most important or the most impressive piece about Kellen Moore
up to this point is that here's this guy that
was so pass having so passed first so fancy pants offense,
and then he gets a fit. He sees what he has.
He has Saquon Barkley, he has Jalen Hurts. He can
bring it really tough element to the running game, and
he manages to put together an offense that I mean,
Saquon Barkley's thirty yards away from breaking the NFL single
season rushing record if you.
Speaker 3: Include the playoffs.
Speaker 2: In nineteen ninety eight twelve, Davis went for over twenty
four hundred yards. Barkley already over twenty four hundred Come Sunday,
he could eclipse the twenty five hundred yard mark in
a single NFL season. And that's a credit to Kellen
Moore for a highland that I did find that. And
here's the other reason, though, Jake, why I don't agree
with Bonds take that it was on him, is because
we're in the NFL warts Tomorrow, Thursday.
Speaker 3: What what's today? Today's Windsday? Wednesday? Yep, Today's Wednesday, day
after Memphis Birthday. Happy birthday again, man shout.
Speaker 2: So tomorrow they are going to give out NFL Defensive
Player of the Year and you are going to see
in the final nominee list Zach Ball, Andre Hendrickson. Ooh,
both for defensive Player of the Year. You know, not
fan Pro Bowl voting, you know, not just oh, he's good. No,
the literal top award you can win as a defender,
and it was a pass rusher and a linebacker that
you had in house. And even crazier on the Hendrickson front,
deeply ironic about Henderson's success in particular, You'd have Peyton Turner,
you have Marsha Stavenport, like you have been trying to
find that guy. You had that guy, Isaiah Foski Fosky.
You had that guy.
Speaker 3: Oo Fosky and you let him go second rounder.
Speaker 2: Fosky for like Fosk me You know, jeez, dude, I
mean think if you still have Angeloni, Chaunsey, Gardner, Johnson,
you would have an incredible young corp of defenders that
would make you relevant and open up a championship window.
Speaker 3: And Marcus may On a big free agent deal that
went well. I mean, really think about Hendrickson.
Speaker 2: All the resources that you have spent trying to find
a pass rusher and you had one that led the
NFL saxes year and it's like he wasn't good. This
isn't even Zach Bonden situation. He was coming up with
thirteen sax season when.
Speaker 3: You let him walk. Yeah, what the what, Mick? What
is going on, bro come on now.
Speaker 4: He's too busy trying to find a path for Dennis
Allen to be Tom Landry and Bill Walsh.
Speaker 2: Look, just never forget just because the record was the record,
just because you have two guys that you walk out
of the building as as final the redeveled, if it's
a Player of the Year, doesn't none of that evidence
means they're doing anything wrong. According to MIKEI Lewis, I'm
not even I'm literally not even putting words in his mouth.
That is exactly what he said. It doesn't mean we're
doing anything wrong. We'll make If you can't accept the truth,
how are.
Speaker 3: Things going to change, dude? Like, I hope.
Speaker 2: Kellen Moore ends up being that lottery ticket because you
need it.
Speaker 3: You need it right now.
Speaker 2: You're looking more and more like Crassis as each and
every day goes on and the Parthians are starting to
surround you. If Kellen Moore doesn't work out, your head's
going to be paraded around in a stick in the
desert sands water to be found.
Speaker 3: Crazy man, crazy, It's not good, Bob, it is not good.
Speaker 4: And whatever a decision is finally made as far as
who's going to be the leader of this team next season,
you know, maybe some things start to change. You hope
that they find somebody in the draft that's going to
be a game changer for them, but they have so
many needs.
Speaker 3: It's like, you know, where do you go?
Speaker 4: This man does not like draft choices, regardless of what
he tells you.
Speaker 3: That's just the facts.
Speaker 4: I mean, they have drafted the least amount of players
of anybody during his time with the New Orleans Saints.
That's just facts as well. So I don't really know
where your hope's going to be. You don't have the
cap space to be you know, bringing anybody's going to
be a game changer either. You got a quarterback situation.
Derek Carr's making this amount of money.
Speaker 3: Do you go car? Do you go Spencer Rattler? Do
you go somewhere else?
Speaker 4: So many questions, no answers, like not not enough answers,
no answers. Right now, they don't even have a coach.
The super Bowl is being played and you don't have
a coach. And I know it could be from somebody
that's coaching this super Bowl, but that's even been up
and down, it's been well, no, he's definitely out, he's
not interested. Oh no, he's back in so like even
that's been fumbled. Yeah, yeah, Just please keep your draft
choices this time too, Mickey, like draft the players with
the choice is you your roster needs an overhaul.
Speaker 3: Draft the players.
Speaker 2: If they trade another draft pick, if they trade up,
unless it's for a quarterback, that'd be the only acceptable thing.
But there doesn't seem to be the market.
Speaker 3: There anyway, in the early seventies, the last time they
did it.
Speaker 2: If they trade up in this draft, I'm going to
feel like Billy Bob Thornton in Bad Santa when they're
playing checkers and Herman Merman's sitting there and he's kind
of you know, he's thinking about a movie brings back.
He's thinking about movie brings back, and then he like
hops three pieces like are you effing with me?
Speaker 3: Mick? Come on, dude, don't you dere bro, don't you
freaking dear I swear.
Speaker 4: And then it is I think so just thinking of
the character, just imagining.
Speaker 2: One of the best castings ever. Have you ever seen
The Sandlot too? Of course not.
Speaker 4: Why wouldn't no, I agree, I lead the Sandlot to
its original Why.
Speaker 3: Is actually really good?
Speaker 2: Actually Uh, okay, I don't know. I don't know if
I granted the ring of really good. I've only seen
it once, Milandra.
Speaker 4: I usually agree with you ninety nine point nine percent
of the time. I'm gonna have to actually, I'm not
gonna find out.
Speaker 3: I'm not. No, it's not now.
Speaker 2: I don't think it's worth uh but no, but I
I saw it hungover in Athens one time in high school,
and I guess the only reason I bring this up
is because Thurm and Merman in that movie is the
uh he's playing ham.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's like he can't like the cool guy. He's
like the cool guy kind of bully, like that girls
can't play blah a far cry. See, the guy has range.
Wherever you are, I hope you're I hope you're having
a successful career. Bat Santa. They can get talked about
it enough.
Speaker 2: Bad Santa, though, did come out in the age when
royalties were still hitting. Yeah, so he might be still
be making enough off that movie to be able to,
uh to live off.
Speaker 3: Of I don't know.
Speaker 4: I hope you're do a quick Google search during the break,
but don't boom boom.

Speaker 2: Uh Laberta's Hotel cos Hetero sponsored the trip not just
as senior bow but also to a Super Bowl. And Uh,
Jake LSU getting a new commitment in the class yesterday,
and that is a meal picerella. Uh I preferred walk
on that well, meaning you will recognize as he was
LABS quarterback. Uh, kind of interesting to me. Jake, he's
a three star quarterback, very good numbers in twenty three
over twenty three undred yards, thirty four touchdowns, three picks,
completed more than seventy percent.
Speaker 3: Of his passes. He's six to.
Speaker 2: Two hundred, and he had a lot of scholarship opportunities.
He said no to those opportunities, Yeah, and has chosen
to walk on at LSU, tweeting yesterday, happy birthday to me.
I can't wait to live out my dream. Thank you
for the opportunity, Coach Sloan, and then he tags Sloan
coach Kelly, Jordan, Narsiman and Nathan Purvis, and I guess
it's I think two things. First off, maybe he gets
on scholarship when the new scholarship rules coming to play
and it's one oh fives at eighty or whatever.
Speaker 3: Maybe that's what we talk about. I'm not sure, but
it's just.
Speaker 2: Like a Meal here really betting on himself because of
his deep love for the hometown team. And that's kind
of cool to see in this more cynical age in
which we live.
Speaker 3: Te Bob, you want to hear his offer list?
Speaker 4: Yeah, Arkansas State okay, Houston yep, twelve, Marshall okay, uh,
Mississippi State, dam Oklahoma State ole, miss Oregon?
Speaker 3: What? And Pitt? I mean, guys, that's those are those are?
Speaker 2: I mean, you want to talk about someone who loves
the purple and gold putting off the time. I do
not know what a Meal's future holds, but like, if
you're someone who just wants to celebrate guys who love
the school to the same thing, that like point that
you do so that you do shout out to a
Meal man.
Speaker 4: I mean, and as you go farther down to listen again.
This is according to two four seven Sports Akron d
one right Boston College acc Kentucky SEC, Louisville a CEC.
Speaker 3: I mean power five offers all over the place. That's
that's actually pretty wild.
Speaker 4: Like I knew he had offers, but I was going
to assume it was like Southern Miss Louisiana Tech, you know,
something in that neighbor maybe ull and not like disrespectful
to him, because I think he's a really good player.
I just assumed, since he's walking on to LSU, that's
what it would look like. And I know early in
his career he was a top prospect. And this year
for You High Florida school a year, y'all know this.
My son plays for you High. And so I went
to a lot of the games due they had some
crazy weather games. They had a game, their first game
of the year was played in a mud pit against
Woodlawn and it was three to nothing.
Speaker 3: The game was three to nothing. That's what. Nobody could
do anything. The ball's going all over place.
Speaker 4: And so I know that senior year didn't go like
maybe his junior year. But my goodness, man, he's a
good player. That turned down some really really good spots.
Speaker 2: Hey, h Taylor, you got about a minute here. You
called some of his games in high school. What's your
take on mister pickerel. Super accurate kid.
Speaker 5: I mean he didn't have a huge arm, but he
didn't make that awful mistake either that you see a
lot of young kids making. I mean he had he
had a lot of weapons at U High his junior year,
but he lost a lot of talent this year and
he was still really really good. I mean he's just
a super accurate quarterback.
Speaker 3: There you go shout out to a meal picker out
a real one, and my son is very hard on quarterbacks.
Speaker 4: I was like, well, hey, where's he going. He's like,
I think he's walking on LSU. He's like, he's a
really good player. I'm shocked, and so I didn't know
all the offers that were like that again kind of
going back to it, but uh, you know, his teammates
loved him. I can tell you that great leader, somebody
that was all about the team. That's why this year
when they ran the football more because of some of
those crazy weather games and just because that's what they
were going to be better at this year with who
they had at running back compared to other positions.
Speaker 3: So with LSU and their quarterback room, kind of where it's.
Speaker 4: At and you had you know, Collins and others and
Swann transfer out. It's actually a really nice addition through
a way that you typically don't get a player like
this unless you get.
Speaker 3: Like a Chris Doring or a JJ Watt or something
like that, or a Baker Mayfield.
Speaker 2: Maybe he's say you to be Baker Milo man, shout
out to a meal, a real one. And I don't
know if it's really a birthday. But if it was
really a birthday, happy birthday as well.
Speaker 3: All right.
