Speaker 1: Welcome into Off the Bench, presented by All Star Toyota.
Speaker 2: You're scary.
Speaker 3: We're bringing in.
Speaker 4: The school US sports talking so with Jacob Hester and
terrifying terrible live from the Haunted Studio. Here's Jacob Hester.
Speaker 2: Yo. Think we all did at the same.
Speaker 5: Time, Boone, Welcome man O TV here on a Thursday morning,
playing a linger at the gang, all back together.
Speaker 2: How was the tripod yesterday?
Speaker 6: I would say strong, took quite strong, kind of like
your portfolio. They say triangles are one of the strongest
shapes out there. I think, or if not the strongest,
I think it is the strongest strong.
Speaker 7: Because there are sturdy with less legs.
Speaker 2: Not a big deal.
Speaker 7: I actually don't know if that's true.
Speaker 3: That didn't feel right, but we'll go. We're going to
go with it right here on you here. First, first,
all things all things went well.
Speaker 6: I would say it went we managed, we did it.
Speaker 2: We went well. He didn't strong and quite strong.
Speaker 8: We had a we even had a technical difficulty powered
ride through it.
Speaker 2: Little look. It was a little bit of a panic mode.
Speaker 6: It was the It was the second to last segment
of the show yesterday, and like I said, I had
I had emptied the clip out pretty good. I had
gone through all the material. I'd stayed up late the
night before prepping. It doesn't seem like a prep, but
I did, and I was like, you know what, we
got the film review, second and last segment we got
asked the bench last segment, ah man, no brain cells needed?
Speaker 2: Well, Taylor screwed it up. Was it the cord? Was
it your computer?
Speaker 6: We thought maybe on the way out you might have
unplugged something a little sabotaged.
Speaker 4: Ye.
Speaker 2: So so the trap I didn't get too. You do
that all on your own. Yeah.
Speaker 8: I take his video from his screen over here. The
video was up, but it was frozen on an old
play and we could not get it to reconnect.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 3: I will say one thing about this building for being
a media company.
Speaker 6: Poor WiFi, very poor. Yeah, I don't know if this
was a Wi fi situation.
Speaker 7: He was just I don't know what happened.
Speaker 3: Even And I feel like it's probably like the wifely portion,
probably because this building is so uniquely made, to say
the least, just the mosque, just a bunch of it's
Frankenstein kind of just a bunch of different parts put
together that turned into one building.
Speaker 2: When this building was being built.
Speaker 6: If you would have like mentioned even like told them
the concept of what internet was or WiFi was, you
would have been burned. Sure would have been burned at
the stake for being a witch. Probably fair, probably fair.
Speaker 3: So well, I'm sorry the film didn't worry, But for me,
I'm happy because now I get to see it.
Speaker 2: That's a good point.
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, and if you prepped and you
stayed up and you studied and you did, like, you
don't have to.
Speaker 2: Go for this stuff.
Speaker 6: I had to like talk about the video there, you know,
there's not they do so many versatile things. There's not
like a lot of like just like hidden nugget gems
out there. It was just pretty much a couple of
clips showing Diggle probably have been a meathead.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yep, Okay, I like that. Yep, I want to
see that.
Speaker 6: So boy, we just waxed poetically about what the video
would have looked like.
Speaker 2: All right, you can imagine it. Would it be like
if we did kids good to hear it?
Speaker 7: When Good to Radio's theater of the mind, Well the.
Speaker 6: Group, yeah, right, honestly, but that's not as important as.
Speaker 2: We want to know. We are curious like how.
Speaker 3: Safe other people the safest both, I mean so safe
safe right now?
Speaker 2: Whoa this got no safety?
Speaker 6: Did you see how he intermingled his safety talk with football?
Speaker 2: That's right? Wow, now the best parts.
Speaker 3: I started thinking about it on the way over there,
and I'm like, they picked the most reckless disregard for
his body meat head fullback to talk.
Speaker 2: About zero safety safe Yep.
Speaker 3: I was like, I know, like I think I think
targeting should go away.
Speaker 2: Like I don't know. It went well though, really good
questions though.
Speaker 3: So I gave you, you know, fifteen twenty minutes speech
talk whatever, and then open it up and there's some
really good questions.
Speaker 7: Wait, like about safety. No, okay, are you are? Like,
are you on the board of OSHA?
Speaker 2: I need to be.
Speaker 8: They actually fired their after Jake was done.
Speaker 3: But I did open it up, and I did tie
it into you know, safety in the workplace and football
being team sport one eleventh and all those things, and
gave my personal stories. But I opened it up for questions,
some good ones and some really good ones, some good
leadership questions, uh, you know, mentors of mine and who
I've had and also like teammates of mine that have
been mentors and leaders and what made them great leaders
and so we had great examples.
Speaker 6: I definitely didn't throw your name out there though, definitely
didn't do that. Well, you know, everybody's got their own
leadership style.
Speaker 3: Hey, hey, Jake, we should we should definitely go out
on Thursday night.
Speaker 2: We should definitely go team Bondy. Yeah, Richard Dixon tells
a good story.
Speaker 9: Worry, well, now you gotta class, No, you gotta share
with the class now. Yeah, I was thinking about the
eight o'clock hour, you know, we were it was.
Speaker 2: If you heard kids aren't in the car?
Speaker 6: Yes, yeah, maybe if he he had a little test,
and you know, I was wanting to kind of go
out on the town a little bit. And I was like,
you were known to do yeah, And he was like, well, no,
he's had a test.
Speaker 2: I gotta study. And I'm like, no, dude, let's just
let's just do it. Uh.
Speaker 6: He's like, no, I got a study. I was like, Richard,
let's let's be honest with each other. Uh, you're probably
gonna cheat anyway, so let's just go out.
Speaker 3: He's like all right, yeah, yeah, we did a statute
of limitations there.
Speaker 2: But he didn't. He definitely did not himself with his
own brand for sure. For sure. Let's go have a
good night though.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I will say, and I've said this before
on air, but not with Matt being here. He talked
me into going out, like going out tying one up
a little bit one Thursday.
Speaker 2: Like ever, it was a Thursday before the Florida game. Boom,
boom boom. Try to tell me it doesn't work. It's
the only time that, like we went heavy in the
pain on a Thursday. Yep.
Speaker 3: Uh, when I was bonding, it worked absolutely. That's how
you were able to not call play in the huddle.
Speaker 2: Tell me who your closest people are. Yeah, it's true.
Mm hmm.
Speaker 3: Maybe I should have told that story yesterday at the
safety seminar.
Speaker 7: Absolutely, sometimes it is okay to get just do it, yeah,
safely respond.
Speaker 6: When we were in green Day, Friday night was like
the big it was like the big hangout night.
Speaker 2: It was like the big Friday, you said, Friday. You know.
Speaker 3: I can swear to God, I'm not trying to be funny.
I can't see Green Bay popping off during a weekday,
so that makes sense after being there for some time.
Speaker 6: Well, it's yeah, I mean I I don't like the
crowded places, so Green Bay is perfect for.
Speaker 2: Me, right, a little dive bar, dive we love to go, Like, shoot,
did y'all go like the ones across the river?
Speaker 1: Uh?
Speaker 6: In downtown or whatever? Yeah, in downtown we did downtown
green Bay. That that was like more like you go
like old like college party.
Speaker 3: Never to The Chargers had like a draft party there
and I went and so that's it. When I went
for the draft. That's the only time I went over.
That was like, this is kind of nice. Yeah, it's
kind of a little downtown green Bay.
Speaker 2: It's pretty cool.
Speaker 6: But no, you're to the other stats we did, Yeah,
we did a little bit, but there's like, okay, so
I thought leaven here, I thought that people like to
like the beverage like taiwan On pretty good, and they do,
don't get me wrong, But when you're in Wisconsin, it's
like every seventeen feet there's another dive bar. Yeah right there, Yeah, yeah,
forget there's there's there everywhere, and uh they're fantastic and
the nicest people you've ever met, like fantastically nice.
Speaker 3: You had like the opposite of us though, because like
for you, everyone probably knew every packer. Yeah, like for
us being being in southern California, like yeah, and it
was to go do like nobody know who you are, right,
And it.
Speaker 6: Was a good situation in a Green Bay because everybody
kind of knew the deal.
Speaker 3: It's not like they don't want to get the packers
in any trouble.
Speaker 6: They didn't they want to get the packers in any trouble.
Everyone knew the deal. But like they saw packer players
all the time. So he didn't even like get not
like Aaron couldn't go out that many places like once
he got established, but like his first year started, we
were out all the time.
Speaker 2: Yeah, right, but it wasn't that big of a deal.
But then he started liking.
Speaker 3: But then you started to get him to go out
on Friday nights, and the coaches probably like, hey, no.
Speaker 6: He did a little bit. He'd we'd got a little bit.
He had his play his safe places. We did go
curling one time in the off season, like the Olympic. Yeah,
so it was Green Bay Curling green Bay Curling Club,
And it was actually right we had we never noticed
it was right across the street from Lambeau, right across
the street from like the interest of the practice field
and it was just sitting there Green Bay Curling Club
and I think it was after one of the Olympics,
and it was just very popular.
Speaker 2: It was really super popular because I think the American
team dominated, but we did want It was like, oh
they had the guy with the mustache.
Speaker 6: Yeah probably yeah, something maybe before before the twenty ten. Yeah,
So we took we started curling and it was really hard.
It was a lot harder than I thought it'd be,
like to sit in the lunch and like slide on ice.
They had like these like little cheater codes kind of
like the like the kids chop sticks.
Speaker 2: They got everything that's like that helps you do everything.
Speaker 6: So they had like these little PBC pipe like holders
where you could get on the lunch and it helped
you slide and kind of like a crutch. So we
do that and so we they were probabicing the sweeping
and doing all this stuff. And it was kind of
cool because you'd go in there and there's like kegs
of there was kegs of do sekis like sitting on
sitting on the ice cold like that. It was just
like like all like on our system. Yeah, you know,
you put a tally by your name if you took
a cup of beer. But anyway, Aaron starts going with us, slips, falls, boom,
cracks head on the back of the ice. Last time,
definitely last time any of us went. And then the
next season he had an issue with some concussions.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I was like, you set them up so you
could play.
Speaker 7: Playing the game.
Speaker 6: Actually he was walking and I threw one of those
big curling.
Speaker 2: Stones, hit him around the legs. Took us like that.
Speaker 3: You try to pull a Johnathan box in and get
in there ball, Nancy, you're trying.
Speaker 2: To go to Brown.
Speaker 8: You could just see everybody on the sidelines there goes
down with the concussion. They're like, damn curling.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so just know they's automatically.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I can't remember. This might have been. Was this after
Super Bowl?
Speaker 6: Could have been after Super Bowl season? So yeah, I
got to time that up with it. I can't remember
exactly when it was, but it was like slow motion happening.
Somebody grab a pillow, somebody grab a pillot, So sacrifice yourself.
Speaker 2: What did y'all What did y'all do during the during
the lockout?
Speaker 3: Did y'all did y'all get to Green Bay or an
area and work out together, and no, y'all didn't.
Speaker 6: So we actually made fun of the teams that did.
We did so we didn't do like football. We actually
we just wanted to work out with waits and and stuff.
And look, a lot of us lived in uh San Diego, like,
so it wasn't like we were all coming back for that.
Speaker 2: We lived there, yep. So we went.
Speaker 3: That's where I met Jay Johnson. We went to the
University of San Diego. We do waits. But then it
was we didn't want to do football. It was like,
let's like, no, we played basketball, like pick up basketball,
and we had our team had multiple.
Speaker 2: Guys that played college basketball. So I'm just like, you know,
the last look kid over there in the corner, like
pick me, yeah, you know.
Speaker 3: But then then I finally, because I used to always like,
you know, let's go play some soccer. Because they had
a soccer field right there at the bottom too, Let's
go play some soccer.
Speaker 2: Let's go play some soccer.
Speaker 3: So finally, like they agree to go do it right,
and we're having a good time.
Speaker 2: We're having a great time.
Speaker 3: But Antonio Gates now Hall of Famer, like he's like
he's kind of cherry pick and he wouldn't like playing defense.
He was just kind of back and forth and he's like, hey,
send it, send it, send it. Send him a ball, right,
and you know how it is you get competitive to
get excited, Like he went full speed off the first
step after not really running and pulled his hand shot
playing soccer and during the lock now luckily, luckily by
the time we finally got back because remember we didn't
get back all the way until August of that year.
Remember like we didn't have any off season, so that
was like in May, and so nobody ever found out.
And like you went to treatment and had everything to
take because you couldn't go to the facility. You couldn't
have treatment in the facility. But I'm the one that
passed him the ball right for him to take off,
even though he was calling for it, Like I was like,
this is what years at twenty eleven, I'm like, am
I going to get cut because we're sitting here during
a lockout and I'm the one that kicked the ball
for Antonio Gates, who's like the best tight end in
the NFL.
Speaker 2: YEP, that's pretty good. Yeah, it's good for nothing.
Speaker 3: I know, and I could just hear because Phillips the
one that like Phillip's like you, He's like, it's a
comedy sport. Yeah, you knows there's a good air and
that as bar as we could be breathing. He I've
heard him say something very similar.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 6: I know we're a little bit late here, but last story,
real quick on that lockout year.
Speaker 7: I had to yeah, no, I mean finish it. Yeah,
but I wanted to.
Speaker 2: Follow so retally blacked out a little bit.
Speaker 3: One more story on walk out flavor flave gotcha.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah.
Speaker 6: So we were sitting there, You're talking about the off
season workout. Yeah, and so there's a couple of teams
like getting together and like they're making these big deals
about it.
Speaker 2: So we were super Bowl champs and we have first
game of the season.
Speaker 6: We have we're playing the Saints in lambeau Field and
the Saints historically Drew Brees, and they're like there's these
big articles and you know, kind of a big show
about their off season workouts getting together, and so we're
all kind of like, yeah, well that's kind of nerdy.
And so we start getting negative press, Like Aaron starts
getting negative press coming out because we weren't.
Speaker 2: Doing anything, and Aaron's like, what are you talking to?
Speaker 6: Like we're professionals, Like we're we just we played longer
than anybody else this past season, Like we're not going
to get together and we we we haven't Like if
guys want to come out here, we can work, but
we're not going to do like this big pomp and circumstance,
like we're gonna work out, get the media out here
and make a big deal about what we're doing, right,
And he was getting crushed like is Aaron Like is
he lazy? Is he a bad teammate? Blah blah blah,
And we're like what are they talking about? So we
go out first game of the season, we played the
Saints and so it's like this one that had been
like highlighted.
Speaker 2: For this off season workouts.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and then us that were like the rebels that
didn't care about anything, and we win the game.
Speaker 2: It was like a great game, though, great game.
Speaker 6: Back and forth played really great and Aaron like one
of the best postgame press commerce I've ever seen. At
that time, he was like, man, just I just I
can't believe we won the game. It's like think how
much we would have won BAFF. We had those off
season workouts and I was like, Boom, Mike drop do
the best.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, like I said, like, yeah, I definitely remember.
Like now that you say that, Drew and the New
Orleans being highlighted and stuff like nobody like nobody knew
where we were and what we were doing.
Speaker 2: Like it was just the guys that lived there.
Speaker 3: But again, we had one of the cities where everybody
lived there, Like Drew didn't live in New.
Speaker 2: Orleans, so they had to, you know, get together there.
So yeah, just imagine, just imagine. I don't even know
how we did that year. Probably not great, It doesn't matter.
We'll take or OTB when we come back here.

Speaker 3: All right, let's throw it to Tata because well, the
injury report came out for LSU football yesterday's they get
ready to travel to Nashville to take on Vandy, and
there was certainly a name on there that caught everyone's attention.
Speaker 8: It's a few names on there that caught the attention.
So okay, look, we know gaberl releafords out. We know
Jamari Butler's still questionable with Weeks has been placed on
the injury report. He's questionable for Saturday. And maybe even
more concerning than that, Art Goodin is doubtful on the
injury report as of yesterday, So there's a chance Weeks
doesn't play, and Bernard good In is trending towards the
not playing. Not great news, it's not good buf.
Speaker 3: So Bernard Goodin had the collar bone issue, wasn't a break,
but did have an injury.
Speaker 2: There, do we know what what Weeks is?
Speaker 8: I don't. I was about to ask you guys, like
I don't remember him getting hurt.
Speaker 2: I don't either.
Speaker 8: I mean, he was a limpit around out there a
little bit, but like you're the metal linebacker, you're gonna
get banged up. I don't remember a significant injury.
Speaker 2: I know, I know there was one series.
Speaker 3: I think it was like the beginning of the second
half actually that he wasn't out there at the beginning,
and I was like, well, I was whatnight out there
and they were having some success, and then they had
too much success for Blake Baker's liking, and then here
comes what weeks into the game, So it's like, oh,
they just maybe give him a rest or I don't
know whatever, but that's the only thing I can even
think about that would maybe signal he had something so stird.
Speaker 8: We might go back to the wrist injury he had
against ole Miss when he went out, but I'm like
that was three weeks ago and he played last week.
I mean, it's just it's just weird, Like Kelly didn't
mention him the teleconference. Who just popped up last night?
Speaker 2: I could have been a practice issue.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it could have been something that they've been dealing
with and they've already they're not doing anything different. They
someone just told him that hey, what we're doing, he
needs to be added to the injury list. Yeah, because
we're not following a rule. Could be as simple as that.
I've seen that happen before. I'm not saying it is.
We've got a jersey on him, he's getting treatment, he's
being held out of this many periods during practice, and
then you get a news from like on Ed or
somebody's like that, like, hey, that he's over the limit
of you have to yeah, you have to do that.
So I don't know, maybe maybe it's maybe it's all
for nothing. Maybe where there's smoke, there's fire. I don't know,
but yeah, I guess the good news on the silver line,
if you're looking for something, is that defense has gone
out and performed really well for a complete game without him,
already against a good opponent when he got kicked out
of the game after their yeah third play of the game.
So at least they kind of know what they are
and they know that they can be successful and still
be elite.
Speaker 2: And still that was a forty game.
Speaker 6: Yeah, five interceptions, I believe still after that, so they
can still go out and perform against a team it
with a similar you know.
Speaker 3: Yeah, look, I mean you never want to go into
a game without wit weeks. Yea, uh, Like that's the
obvious part. But you have done it before.
Speaker 2: It is a deep position for you, Like you do
have a stable of linebackers that you feel really really
good about.
Speaker 3: Again, like you won't wit if it's available. He's one
of the best in the country. So we're not acting
like that's nothing. But you have, like Matt said, you
have done it before, and it is a deep position room,
so certainly something we'll pay attention to. Like for Bernard
good and that is that's a big one. I mean,
he's done a really nice job right there in the middle.
But you did see some guys kind of step up
and have better days. I thought last week against South
Carolina Tata and I think it was you that was
talking about Jacobin Guillery earlier in the week.
Speaker 8: I thought Jacoby and Gillery was great. I thought that
was the best game of the year. Like you go
back and look, he didn't have a ton of tackles,
but he got consistent pressure right up the middle. We
do have some good news though. Aaron Anderson and Paul
Mabinga were probable there we go. Both of those guys
were you were you were a little concerned what your
offense was gonna look like. Last week without him, they
were probable. So I mean, we'll see what happens there.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean Aaron Anderson getting coming back would be
a huge I think he is your best offensive player.
I think he might be your best player on the
whole team. So getting him back, I think from a
just a comfortability standpoint from us helping him kind of
get back into some confidence, his confidence mode, his cocky mode,
like him being a little bit I'm the best dude
on the field. I can make every throw on the field.
I think getting him back to that level that we
know that he can be at. He hadn't been there
this year for a full time. Like we've seen the
throw here and there, but like consistently do it. We
hadn't seen him. He hadn't seen that nuts spier in
a season. So that would go a long way for that.
Speaker 2: I think.
Speaker 6: I think Aaron Anderson is that good. I think he
is is that dude, and I think he brings a
lot of stability to that, to that passing game.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's the guy that you look for on third
and anything. Yep, whatever the situation is, he just gets it. Yeah,
he does he understands coverages, he gets open. He can
make you right sometimes maybe when you're not fully right.
I'm not saying you're wrong.
Speaker 2: Receivers do.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he can make you right in situations where maybe
you didn't see it the same way. So yeah, that's
a big one. That is a big, big boost for LSU.
Certainly offensively, and that's what you're looking for. You're looking
for some offensive momentum. You get Paul mcbinga back at
guard and so somebody that has a ton of starts
under his belt. And that's what the injury report looks
like for LSU. Vanderbilt does have some injuries as well.
We'll probably get to those at some point here in
the show. But what Weeks did find himself on the
injury report yesterday when we didn't know that he was
going to be added to it, And here you are
getting ready for a Thursday practice, So certainly something to monitor.
All right, we'll take a break more OTB when we
come back here live from the rais of Kine Studios.

Does that me?
Speaker 2: Narls Barkley.
Speaker 7: Green?
Speaker 2: But this was as you're laughing at over there, man,
you got little something going on? Oh yeah, I think
did you do something in the entire chat right now?
It's kind of fun. One thing.
Speaker 3: One thing you gotta be careful about doing around here.
Comparing somebody to old Drew.
Speaker 6: That's a good point. I just all I said was
Aaron Rodgers is better than Drew breathes. Sorry my bad,
Yeah I didn't.
Speaker 7: I can't say that here.
Speaker 6: I didn't say Drew is not good one of the
best ever, do it. I just said somebody else that
was one of the best ever.
Speaker 1: Do it?
Speaker 6: I think is better. It's my opinion. I told you
when I finished, and they told all these stats out.
I'm like, I don't I'm not looking at nerds stuff
right now.
Speaker 7: I'm not looking at facts.
Speaker 2: Hit me, nerds.
Speaker 7: You're not a nerd.
Speaker 6: I'm on a nerd run because we are. LSU plays
the Nerds this weekend.
Speaker 3: You know who's got some Speaking of stats, he's got
some sneaky like becoming kind of Alzheimer. Jared Golf if
you want to go just off stats. If it's a
stat argument, Jared Golf is like some of the one
of the greatest of all time. That's what I'm saying,
Like it's better than Brady. He's got some of the
well not Brady, but just saying does he have as
many MVPs as Yure?
Speaker 2: Does Jared Golf have one? So they're tied.
Speaker 8: Yeah, he's kind of been top ten since he's been
with Detroit. Like people crap on Golf and it's not
his fault because Stafford won the Super Bowl the first
year with l A, Right, so they're like, all you
have to do is get rid of Jared Golf and
you win. But like, Jared Golf's really good.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well let me tell you that.
Speaker 6: I mean Drew Brees is one of the greatest to
ever play the position of quarterback in the entire world.
I'm saying that. That's not saying that. Sorry, guys, I'm
just telling you my opinion.
Speaker 2: Just slippery slope. I get it.
Speaker 6: I Drew is probably I don't know, want the top
ten of all time? Yeah, I don't know about top
five of all time. That's a tricky list.
Speaker 2: I made it. I don't know.
Speaker 6: I made a top ten list of the current NFL
players yesterday. That was that was tricky of all time?
Speaker 2: It is true.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you talked at power. You talked about it on
air on the live right here off the bench.
Speaker 2: Wait, it was a good list. It we have it.
Speaker 7: Saying we should have made it into a graphic.
Speaker 2: Do you remember I did? Actually you did it on Cana.
I didn't. Carler said he was going to do it. Okay, Yeah,
Do you have the list in your notebook? Yeah? Somewhere.
Speaker 6: Okay, I got somewhere on my person was justin Herbert
in your top ten? He was okay, shock, here was three?
Speaker 2: What I went back? I moved back and forth and
hit three or four because I had Stafford at four.
Speaker 6: This is this is not current list of like who
I think the best quarterback is in the league, like
in totality of everything, just like up to this point
of the season.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, no, I mean Stafford always kind of gets
forgotten in that conversation.
Speaker 6: Did you do you know who that my number one pick?
I'll I'll give you a hit. Baker Taylor does not
need to go to Goodwood to Yeah, Baker Mayfield.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I was watching the Chiefs game when they played. I
guess it was Lion's last primetime game, right, and Coin's works,
Like there's not a guy that will go out there
and like Patrick Mahons and break these tackles and put
hisself on the line.
Speaker 2: I was like, did you not watch Tampa Bay on Sunday?
Speaker 3: I'm pretty sure that Baker Mayfield taped the smelling salt
to his nose so it would be there the entire game.
What Collins, I really do like, like, I'm not I
don't get annoyed like a lot of people do. I
actually like Chris, but when he gets in Mahomes mode.
Speaker 8: Right, that's yeah.
Speaker 7: I mean the rest of the time, I actually really
enjoy him, but whenever he starts themes thing, I'm like,
oh my God.
Speaker 8: I'm never going to compare the two Mahomes, says three
super Bowls. He's great in terms of toughness, like he
ain't touching Baker, Get the hell.
Speaker 2: Out of here. Oh you are faring, You are chicken
pecking this keys away man. All right, Well, do I
agree if Drey should have won the MVP in twenty eleven,
I said, no, I don't. Aaron Rodgers won it. We
were fifteen and one.
Speaker 6: That season and we scared y'all though, fifteen to one
that season in the Super Bowl Champs and he beat
Drew and like a heads up duel in a primetime game.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we scared y'all though in the rain in San Diego.
Were terri for forty one, like thirty eight something crazy
like that. Yeah, it was a good It was a
really good game.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Yeah, did y'all play? Yeah, y'all were good. I mean
you were always good. Yeah, never great. It's never great,
it's never great, but always really good. Always had a
shot at it. But yeah, then we lost in Kansas
City Romeo Cornell R. Remember I think Todd Haley just
got fired. So it was it was interim bump that
year or that that week but it was a It
was a great loss for me personally because I got
to start the last game of the season, first one
because they weren't going for because we weren't going for
the perfect season.
Speaker 2: Turned out great, It turned out good for me.
Speaker 4: Ah.
Speaker 3: I remember we all, my whole family came for whatever
Charger game that was, and that was because that was
a primetime game right Sunday night.
Speaker 2: Or Joe had the afternoon game. It was later than ours.
Uh it was, yeah, it was I think it was
like three whatever it was we called.
Speaker 3: We called most of it at a local pub bar
in San Diego, and it was it was cool, like
all I was watching, you get a chance to play
and you did okay to day.
Speaker 2: All right, I think so. Richard uh Old Dick Dixon
was on the team off for the Lions.
Speaker 6: He was God, I can't remember the story if he
was like he traveled with the team and he was
sitting in these he was either injured on I R
or something like that, and I remembered him sitting telling
me that he was sitting there with his teammates like
next to him. I remember if he's on the sideline,
like in the press box or like in a suite
like some of the injured guys. Yeah, and he was like, yeah,
I was like cheering the whole time. I couldn't cheer,
but I was like, yes, how shearing bug M. I
was cheering for you. Thanks about it, Yeah, appreciate it.
You didn't have the lions you know, outfit on though you.
Speaker 2: No, I did not. I did not. I did not.
Speaker 6: I just enjoy on some colpops in San Diego watching
you anyway, good clean fun here in the chat, good
clean fun.
Speaker 2: Everything's fine. Yeah, look chat.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and y'all know this, Like you are defending Drew
because that's your guy and it should be and you
should defend him. He's defending Aaron because that's this guy
he should be. I'm gonna defend Philip in all these
conversations because that's our guy. Like we should separate conversation though,
but nothing, because you can only have Super Bowls to
talk to defend your guy. No, No, I just I
don't think Phillip's that that Drew buries Aaron eshell because
he didn't win one. If he would have won one,
because he's six all time in passing yards. But if
you don't win a Super Bowl.
Speaker 2: I get that.
Speaker 3: That's why Dan Marino, if he would have won one,
would be in the conversation like everybody would talk top three.
Speaker 2: Damn Marino. He didn't, so he's you know, oh he's
top ten.
Speaker 3: But it'll never get in the conversation top three, even
though Dan was doing things that nobody done, had an
arm talent that nobody had.
Speaker 2: But I get it. If you don't want Super Bowl,
you don't get talked about that position. I get it.
Speaker 6: Nature of the beast, though, nature of the Beast, you
get overly celebrated when the team's good, overly criticize when
the team's not good.
Speaker 2: That's the nature of the beast. Quarterbacks and head coaches.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we got to a lot of divisional rounds, an
AFC championship game, but we could never and like you said,
you scared a lot of people a lot.
Speaker 2: What was the old thing? Gosh, I'm gonna mess it up.
We almost always almost win, almost always always went until
this year. Right, yeah, no doubt about it. All Right,
we all take a break.
Speaker 3: But before real quick, before we do, I want to
remind you about campus Federal Louisiana roots, local people, real service.
