    uh let's start I'll just give you the
  • 00:01:51
    floor here overall impressions of
  • 00:01:55
    Fox's presentation of the Eagles Chief
  • 00:01:57
    Super Bowl good bad fine
  • 00:02:00
    what you got
  • 00:02:02
    uh overall no overall I think it was it
  • 00:02:05
    was a good presentation um um I feel bad
  • 00:02:08
    for Fox I feel bad for any of the from a
  • 00:02:12
    in a corporate sense I feel bad but uh
  • 00:02:14
    for for any Super Bowl broadcaster that
  • 00:02:17
    has to have a uh a blowout like like
  • 00:02:20
    that the game was over at halftime and
  • 00:02:23
    then you're you're just trying to fill
  • 00:02:25
    air a little bit um I Fox's uh a crew uh
  • 00:02:31
    especially the the guys uh in the in the
  • 00:02:34
    production truck you know um uh Brad
  • 00:02:36
    zagger the executive producer is is uh
  • 00:02:40
    has an excellent reputation Eric Shanks
  • 00:02:42
    is among the best that have ever done
  • 00:02:45
    this they always put on a really good
  • 00:02:47
    professional show I I happen to watch a
  • 00:02:49
    lot of the pregame show I think the
  • 00:02:51
    stuff that they did uh from Bourbon
  • 00:02:53
    Street um uh they had the uh um their um
  • 00:02:59
    pregame show cast on Bourbon Street and
  • 00:03:02
    that was that was a really cool visual
  • 00:03:05
    uh I mean the content is what you would
  • 00:03:07
    expect from a pregame show I don't think
  • 00:03:08
    that that you know set the set the world
  • 00:03:11
    on fire or anything and once uh but but
  • 00:03:14
    but it was uh I just thought that it
  • 00:03:16
    looked good it the it really got some
  • 00:03:19
    excitement going get getting into the
  • 00:03:21
    game uh and then the game happened and
  • 00:03:24
    and it's it's just really hard to uh to
  • 00:03:26
    do it what what were your thoughts well
  • 00:03:29
    what one thing on the pregame show I
  • 00:03:32
    didn't
  • 00:03:33
    watch Mo most of it or any of it I I I
  • 00:03:37
    put the TV on at about
  • 00:03:41
    5:00 and I had the TV on with no sound
  • 00:03:45
    on Fox at that point because I was
  • 00:03:46
    watching something else on a different
  • 00:03:48
    TV but I just wanted to have it on in
  • 00:03:50
    case so you have to keep in mind I'm
  • 00:03:53
    watching this there's no
  • 00:03:55
    sound and I look up and I'm like oh I
  • 00:03:58
    guess Jimmy Johnson is retiring I didn't
  • 00:04:00
    you know and and then I put the sound on
  • 00:04:04
    and Jimmy's crying on the stage and then
  • 00:04:07
    they car man ify says is this a
  • 00:04:08
    retirement and he goes one day at a time
  • 00:04:11
    so I was
  • 00:04:12
    like what just
  • 00:04:15
    happened that was again I wasn't that
  • 00:04:17
    was a little bizarre that was you were
  • 00:04:19
    waiting for the retirement announcement
  • 00:04:21
    because that was exactly what they had
  • 00:04:23
    uh been been leading up too and it was
  • 00:04:26
    almost like he got cold feet at the last
  • 00:04:27
    minute because of the the question from
  • 00:04:30
    Kurt like you ask questions every week
  • 00:04:32
    on this podcast you you know a leading
  • 00:04:34
    question you when you see it and it
  • 00:04:36
    seemed like hey do you have something to
  • 00:04:38
    announce here and uh and there there
  • 00:04:41
    wasn't yeah and I would love to know I
  • 00:04:44
    mean you'll never find out
  • 00:04:46
    but I mean I was expecting Kurt menae to
  • 00:04:49
    expect Jimmy to say yes he was retiring
  • 00:04:51
    like it was that made the whole thing
  • 00:04:54
    even more bizarre so and then I guess
  • 00:04:55
    you know Fox so I guess there were a lot
  • 00:04:57
    of people out there like me who thought
  • 00:04:58
    Jimmy Johnson was retiring and fox ended
  • 00:05:01
    up I know telling some media people no
  • 00:05:03
    retirement and it's like okay well then
  • 00:05:05
    5:00 hour of the Super Bowl you're
  • 00:05:08
    running that piece what yeah and and the
  • 00:05:11
    piece also was
  • 00:05:13
    um uh well the the the that whole
  • 00:05:16
    retirement aspect of it you're right
  • 00:05:18
    you're right but then the AI nature of
  • 00:05:20
    it it's almost like they wanted to show
  • 00:05:22
    off what they're able to do with uh with
  • 00:05:25
    artificial intelligence and you know
  • 00:05:27
    they were able to show him as a college
  • 00:05:29
    player as a young college coach and you
  • 00:05:31
    know all the way through and and so I as
  • 00:05:35
    I was watching it before I thought it
  • 00:05:37
    was like heading in into a retirement
  • 00:05:39
    announcement as I was watching it uh you
  • 00:05:41
    know it just seemed like okay this is
  • 00:05:43
    what we can do with this new technology
  • 00:05:45
    that's out there but then when they came
  • 00:05:47
    back to the set and he's in tears and
  • 00:05:49
    man's trying to lead him in and I was
  • 00:05:51
    like wait I think I think we're about to
  • 00:05:53
    get something here yeah yeah in terms of
  • 00:05:56
    to answer your question in terms of the
  • 00:05:57
    the game broadcast I I've said this all
  • 00:06:01
    along now for several weeks I'm so
  • 00:06:03
    exhausted by the Brady stuff because
  • 00:06:07
    it's every week everyone's got to
  • 00:06:08
    analyze Brady and the problem with Brady
  • 00:06:12
    is that he's fine he's not great and
  • 00:06:16
    he's not I mean a lot of people out
  • 00:06:17
    there want to say he's terrible he's not
  • 00:06:19
    terrible not terrible that there are so
  • 00:06:20
    many people judging him unfairly because
  • 00:06:23
    he's Tom Brady he has seven super bowls
  • 00:06:25
    he's making $375 million he's not
  • 00:06:31
    like you can't put him on a level of you
  • 00:06:33
    know Daryl Johnston or Mark lth who on
  • 00:06:36
    like the fifth and sixth Cruise like
  • 00:06:39
    that is ridiculous to say Brady's bad or
  • 00:06:42
    he's terrible but he's not great he's
  • 00:06:43
    not Greg olon he's not troyman he's what
  • 00:06:45
    would you rank him in ter because I
  • 00:06:48
    don't think anybody's comparing him to
  • 00:06:50
    the the F fifth or sixth crew right and
  • 00:06:53
    he was on the fifth or sixth cruise I
  • 00:06:55
    don't think people would be so maniacal
  • 00:06:58
    but you have uh Troy Aman on ESPN Tony
  • 00:07:02
    Romo Chris Collinsworth and Kirk
  • 00:07:05
    herbstreet is he within
  • 00:07:08
    those I don't think he's near
  • 00:07:12
    Troy uh and and I still am of the belief
  • 00:07:14
    that Romo is very good I think Romo
  • 00:07:18
    actually I think Romo brings more to the
  • 00:07:20
    broadcast than Brady right now that's
  • 00:07:22
    the other thing in all this it is still
  • 00:07:24
    Tom's first
  • 00:07:27
    year can we give him a little bit of a
  • 00:07:29
    chance it's like no he can't he's making
  • 00:07:31
    $375 million can't give him a chance
  • 00:07:33
    he's making $375 million a year and and
  • 00:07:35
    and and usurped a really good booth and
  • 00:07:39
    you can't like there are too many
  • 00:07:41
    storylines outside of of of his actual
  • 00:07:44
    call of the game and for me I don't I
  • 00:07:47
    don't judge my rankings of a booth based
  • 00:07:52
    solely on the analyst to me it's the
  • 00:07:54
    totality of the booth so that's why I
  • 00:07:57
    think buck and Amman are on whole other
  • 00:08:00
    level than everyone else
  • 00:08:02
    because it doesn't get talked about
  • 00:08:04
    enough but you listen to Joe Buck the
  • 00:08:07
    smoothness the energy the
  • 00:08:10
    calls the voice like Joe is Joe and Troy
  • 00:08:14
    I think are on another level and then I
  • 00:08:17
    think for me you say who do you want to
  • 00:08:20
    listen to it would be probably nans and
  • 00:08:21
    Romo
  • 00:08:23
    second um I don't think burkart and
  • 00:08:27
    Brady
  • 00:08:28
    would I don't think cracked the top four
  • 00:08:31
    for me and again the best guy out there
  • 00:08:34
    is Olsen and who the hell knows what's
  • 00:08:38
    going to happen there but so like with
  • 00:08:39
    Tom by the way that that's never
  • 00:08:41
    happened I I I would submit to you in
  • 00:08:45
    the history of Fox Sports in the NFL
  • 00:08:49
    which is going back about 30 years
  • 00:08:51
    now could you en Envision like their a
  • 00:08:55
    broadcast team you're saying like oh I I
  • 00:08:58
    they wouldn't crack my top four that
  • 00:09:00
    that never would that have have happened
  • 00:09:02
    in the history of Fox Sports that that
  • 00:09:04
    that that that's significant unto itself
  • 00:09:06
    I mean this this is a group that really
  • 00:09:10
    I can't say enough good things about the
  • 00:09:12
    the production and the and the
  • 00:09:14
    executives at Fox Sports they lost Troy
  • 00:09:18
    Aman and Joe Buck who you think is the
  • 00:09:21
    best Booth out there and they they are
  • 00:09:23
    they're they're they're very very good
  • 00:09:26
    and they didn't skip a beat they brought
  • 00:09:27
    in Burkhart they brought in
  • 00:09:29
    didn't skip a beat and because because
  • 00:09:32
    Fox is also very good and and and they
  • 00:09:35
    they are able to do that and you know it
  • 00:09:37
    does feel like they ski a beat and then
  • 00:09:40
    yeah it's his first it's his first
  • 00:09:41
    season and all all this all this other
  • 00:09:44
    stuff but they SK they did skip a Beed I
  • 00:09:47
    I they might be in my top four I don't
  • 00:09:49
    know I'd have to maybe they're better
  • 00:09:52
    than Aman I mean better than Michaels in
  • 00:09:54
    herb street I'm not I don't know
  • 00:09:57
    but it doesn't feel like for me I I
  • 00:10:02
    always feel like Tom is too prepared
  • 00:10:07
    overprepared holding back not I think
  • 00:10:11
    he's trying to be like an NFL
  • 00:10:12
    broadcaster and not just a regular
  • 00:10:14
    person that's the impression I
  • 00:10:17
    get yeah I think that we also have to
  • 00:10:20
    somewhat figure out how he calls a games
  • 00:10:23
    because the people that don't like Romo
  • 00:10:25
    Romo's Romo you know he he sort of he
  • 00:10:28
    brings an excitement he he sort of you
  • 00:10:30
    know he he doesn't predict like he
  • 00:10:32
    predicted at the beginning but he still
  • 00:10:34
    kind of predicts plays and what's going
  • 00:10:36
    to happen and you know he'll make some
  • 00:10:38
    mistakes but but that's an excitement
  • 00:10:40
    that that CBS likes to have that that
  • 00:10:43
    conveys out there Chris Collinsworth is
  • 00:10:46
    somebody that can take a you know a
  • 00:10:47
    three- yard run and bring it back and
  • 00:10:50
    and talk on a like 50,000 foot level
  • 00:10:52
    about how that three yard run is
  • 00:10:54
    instrumental into this overall story arc
  • 00:10:56
    of a game you know I think I think
  • 00:10:58
    Collinsworth is really good about doing
  • 00:11:00
    that uh Troy Aman um is uh I mean you
  • 00:11:04
    you you said it earlier yourself he just
  • 00:11:07
    is tactically understands the game and
  • 00:11:10
    and uh and and is able to uh take the
  • 00:11:14
    analysis from his brain to his mouth and
  • 00:11:16
    and out to the viewer and and that's not
  • 00:11:18
    always easy as anybody listening to me
  • 00:11:21
    right now probably probably knows and
  • 00:11:23
    like and even even I mean this might
  • 00:11:29
    get better over time but even sort of
  • 00:11:32
    like the little byplay between barart
  • 00:11:34
    and
  • 00:11:34
    Brady always seems to just not hit it
  • 00:11:38
    right there was a point in the Super
  • 00:11:40
    Bowl where Tom tried to make a joke
  • 00:11:43
    about Kevin Hart did you hear that and
  • 00:11:47
    yeah and
  • 00:11:50
    um by the way that that Netflix special
  • 00:11:53
    that he was referencing was was a
  • 00:11:56
    massive success but it was seen by what
  • 00:11:59
    I I like like 40 million 5050 million I
  • 00:12:01
    I don't know what the number is off my
  • 00:12:02
    head a fraction of the number that we're
  • 00:12:05
    watching I was thinking about the poor
  • 00:12:07
    people that are like why is he going
  • 00:12:09
    after Kevin Hart now that that even knew
  • 00:12:13
    nothing about the Tom Brady roast yeah
  • 00:12:15
    so he tried to make like a hey joke
  • 00:12:16
    about Kevin Hart and Burkhart the vibe I
  • 00:12:20
    got at the beginning was like Burkhart
  • 00:12:21
    didn't maybe know the reference but then
  • 00:12:23
    he caught on but then Tom wouldn't even
  • 00:12:26
    say the rose Tom's like well he got me
  • 00:12:27
    pretty good back in May like the whole
  • 00:12:30
    byplay was bizarre between them you know
  • 00:12:33
    it doesn't it just doesn't feel natural
  • 00:12:36
    but again they've only been together for
  • 00:12:38
    a season but over listen I think you you
  • 00:12:40
    said it it
  • 00:12:42
    before and I'm writing a column for
  • 00:12:44
    si.com for Monday people can read it by
  • 00:12:46
    the time this goes up probably I I can't
  • 00:12:48
    judge them on anything in the second
  • 00:12:50
    half the Chiefs got the ball to start
  • 00:12:53
    the second half they didn't score that
  • 00:12:55
    was it lights out the game was over and
  • 00:12:58
    I you know you got to be careful of like
  • 00:13:01
    getting narratives from Twitter but I
  • 00:13:04
    couldn't believe all the people on
  • 00:13:05
    Twitter referencing 283 and thinking
  • 00:13:08
    that was going to happen again did you
  • 00:13:10
    watch the Eagles defense like there was
  • 00:13:13
    no chance that chiefs were coming back
  • 00:13:15
    when the defensive line for Philadelphia
  • 00:13:18
    was in mahomes's face on every single
  • 00:13:20
    down so that was stupid that the game
  • 00:13:23
    was over when the Chiefs started the
  • 00:13:25
    second half and did not score that for
  • 00:13:27
    me so I I'm not going to judge Tom and
  • 00:13:31
    Kevin on whatever happened in the second
  • 00:13:33
    half because the game was they had
  • 00:13:35
    nothing there to break down what I want
  • 00:13:37
    from an analyst would I judge these guys
  • 00:13:38
    on the most well the number one thing is
  • 00:13:40
    do you annoy me and the second thing is
  • 00:13:43
    by big number one thing yeah right well
  • 00:13:46
    that's why I don't mention Chris
  • 00:13:47
    Collinsworth when you ask me for my
  • 00:13:48
    favorites um I I like Collinsworth he
  • 00:13:51
    doesn't he does a lot of people do I'm
  • 00:13:53
    in I'm in the minority I'm in the
  • 00:13:55
    minority but but not every player is
  • 00:13:57
    great so it gets a little tiresome after
  • 00:13:59
    a while I mean I will never forget as
  • 00:14:01
    long as I live the Jets Chiefs game two
  • 00:14:03
    years ago when he basically had Zack
  • 00:14:05
    Wilson in the Hall of Fame so I I get
  • 00:14:07
    annoyed by that but I what I want from
  • 00:14:11
    an analyst is when it's close late the
  • 00:14:13
    Tactical stuff the timeouts the clock
  • 00:14:16
    management what do you run here should
  • 00:14:17
    you run should you pass how are you
  • 00:14:20
    burning the that's where olssen blows
  • 00:14:22
    everyone out of the water um and that's
  • 00:14:26
    has been very good this year like like
  • 00:14:28
    right wh when he's uh describing a
  • 00:14:31
    two-minute drill and he just sort of
  • 00:14:33
    starts to get get in on that like he's
  • 00:14:35
    done a billion two-minute drills in in
  • 00:14:37
    his career and so that that that I I
  • 00:14:39
    find to be really interesting what I
  • 00:14:41
    think is is difficult is you know you
  • 00:14:44
    mentioned social media and uh I I was I
  • 00:14:47
    was looking on there and people are like
  • 00:14:49
    he talks about you his playing career
  • 00:14:51
    too much and people are saying he
  • 00:14:52
    doesn't talk about his playing career
  • 00:14:53
    too much uh like the the one thing that
  • 00:14:57
    um I have one takeaway
  • 00:15:00
    the uh Eagles were up I have more than
  • 00:15:02
    one takeaway but one takeway is the
  • 00:15:04
    Eagles were up 24 to nothing H going
  • 00:15:07
    into half who would you rather have in
  • 00:15:10
    the booth at that moment than the
  • 00:15:13
    quarterback that engineered the biggest
  • 00:15:16
    comeback in NFL history tell telling us
  • 00:15:19
    stories about what that locker room was
  • 00:15:21
    like what happened who was like banging
  • 00:15:23
    the locker who like and there was
  • 00:15:26
    nothing he didn't know that like like it
  • 00:15:28
    was almost sort of he was still deciding
  • 00:15:30
    whether the the Eagles should run or
  • 00:15:33
    pass with you know 10 seconds left in
  • 00:15:35
    the half it was a it was a swing and a
  • 00:15:37
    miss in my opinion I agree and that's
  • 00:15:40
    why he said earlier about Brady being
  • 00:15:42
    judged unfairly if he talks about his
  • 00:15:44
    playing career people bash him if he's
  • 00:15:46
    not talking about 283 people are bashing
  • 00:15:48
    him
  • 00:15:49
    meanwhile if you think Fox hired him and
  • 00:15:52
    gave him $375 million to not talk about
  • 00:15:56
    his Hall of Fame alltime great playing
  • 00:15:59
    career you're an idiot listen fox has
  • 00:16:03
    been very clear that they would make
  • 00:16:04
    that higher again uh they've been on the
  • 00:16:08
    record saying that he's going to come
  • 00:16:10
    back despite the uh uh uh the ownership
  • 00:16:13
    of the Raiders and the his sort of
  • 00:16:15
    involvement W with that team and I have
  • 00:16:18
    to say they uh I don't know anything
  • 00:16:21
    about the Excel spreadsheets with the
  • 00:16:24
    dollars and cents but it was a good hire
  • 00:16:26
    for them I mean he he brings a and you
  • 00:16:28
    can see in the pregame show he does
  • 00:16:30
    bring an excitement to it and and the
  • 00:16:33
    the part of uh I I do a weekly Brady
  • 00:16:35
    meter as you know in the uh in my um
  • 00:16:38
    private email and it's uh part of the
  • 00:16:40
    reason I do it is just because it's Tom
  • 00:16:42
    Brady and he and he replaced a a really
  • 00:16:45
    good analyst and let's let's let's just
  • 00:16:48
    see how he progresses this all all
  • 00:16:50
    season I thought he had a really really
  • 00:16:52
    good moment late first quarter it was 7
  • 00:16:54
    nothing Philly but the game at that
  • 00:16:56
    point was sloppy it didn't really have a
  • 00:16:58
    flow but teams were the Chiefs
  • 00:17:00
    especially was slow yeah the two bad
  • 00:17:02
    calls by the refs and Brady started
  • 00:17:04
    talking about
  • 00:17:06
    how slow starts in the Super Bowl are
  • 00:17:08
    expected you're on a neutral field
  • 00:17:11
    there's no home field advantage you're
  • 00:17:12
    not you know you have different
  • 00:17:13
    mentality Home Road the game is a much
  • 00:17:16
    longer game than any other game because
  • 00:17:18
    of the halftime that's got to go for you
  • 00:17:20
    know 40 minutes and he talked about you
  • 00:17:22
    playing a 4H hour and 15minute game so
  • 00:17:25
    he said you and I thought that was great
  • 00:17:28
    in it that you get because of his
  • 00:17:30
    experience
  • 00:17:31
    there that's more of that would be good
  • 00:17:35
    yeah yeah I no he certainly had moments
  • 00:17:37
    I I do feel bad for him because he is a
  • 00:17:40
    rookie broadcaster again when I say I
  • 00:17:42
    feel bad it's a it's a measure right I
  • 00:17:46
    know right ex but he's a rookie
  • 00:17:47
    broadcaster and there's a handful of
  • 00:17:51
    people I think I think you and I can
  • 00:17:53
    probably take off maybe three four or
  • 00:17:56
    five who can be effective been a blowout
  • 00:18:00
    and and you know that's where you really
  • 00:18:01
    have to you know bring the John Madden
  • 00:18:04
    type of I mean John Madden is the
  • 00:18:05
    greatest of all time but bring his sort
  • 00:18:07
    of like excitement level uh or you get a
  • 00:18:10
    Storyteller in there and like none of
  • 00:18:13
    this fits in with where Tom Brady is
  • 00:18:15
    right now did you catch the moment late
  • 00:18:18
    the game it was
  • 00:18:20
    346 and the Eagles had destroyed momes
  • 00:18:23
    but they face massed him there was no
  • 00:18:25
    flag and Tom went to Pereira and perea
  • 00:18:28
    was like
  • 00:18:29
    he basically was like annoyed that he
  • 00:18:31
    got called on gave like a one-word
  • 00:18:33
    answer and in the most low monotone
  • 00:18:36
    sound did you C did you catch that by
  • 00:18:38
    any chance I didn't I didn't I didn't
  • 00:18:39
    pick up on any annoyance with with that
  • 00:18:42
    I I I think it
  • 00:18:43
    like I think basically Brady was like
  • 00:18:47
    you know H you whatever and Pere was
  • 00:18:49
    like that's a flag that should have been
  • 00:18:51
    a flag but he said it like why are you
  • 00:18:53
    bothering me right now
  • 00:18:57
    um this basketball season when your
  • 00:18:59

    just with your Hoops knowledge this week
  • 00:19:31
    on Underdog I'm looking at the NBA and
  • 00:19:34
    picking Luca donic for higher on
  • 00:19:37
    basically all of his stats but
  • 00:19:39
    especially points rebounds I think Luca
  • 00:19:42
    will be motivated after the big trade uh
  • 00:19:45
    the narrative out there is that he's out
  • 00:19:47
    of shape he doesn't work hard and I
  • 00:19:49
    think that's going to push something in
  • 00:19:51
    Luca so I'm looking at him here on
  • 00:19:53
    Underdog to go higher uh especially
  • 00:19:56
    points and rebounds

    heny this is very inside media and I
  • 00:20:53
    think there's probably 10 of us who care
  • 00:20:55
    about this I don't think fox has helped
  • 00:20:57
    Brady by shielding him from people like
  • 00:21:01
    us or any other interviewers or
  • 00:21:03
    podcasters they've only put him they
  • 00:21:05
    they had at the Super Bowl they have an
  • 00:21:07
    annual media day and uh this media Fox's
  • 00:21:10
    media day was on Thursday and that's
  • 00:21:12
    where they roll out all of their
  • 00:21:14
    Executives and all of their talent and
  • 00:21:17
    who was not there the you know the the
  • 00:21:20
    number one broadcast team they they were
  • 00:21:22
    on a um uh earlier on or the day before
  • 00:21:25
    they had had a uh a press conference
  • 00:21:28
    which I know you were on what was that
  • 00:21:29
    like well it wasn't a press conference
  • 00:21:31
    it was a conference call conference call
  • 00:21:33
    that's what I meant yeah no so they they
  • 00:21:34
    didn't even put Tom on video wait that
  • 00:21:37
    was all audio the conference call all
  • 00:21:39
    yeah all audio and it was you know
  • 00:21:42
    everyone asked Tom a bunch of questions
  • 00:21:43
    and you know everyone else poor Kevin
  • 00:21:46
    and Aaron and ronaldi and they got like
  • 00:21:49
    one question each and there were 50
  • 00:21:51
    questions for Tom on the
  • 00:21:53
    phone um you know by the time they got
  • 00:21:56
    around to me they were like oh can we
  • 00:21:57
    limit it to one question you know they
  • 00:21:59
    played that game what was your question
  • 00:22:01
    um I asked
  • 00:22:05
    him if he thought critics have been fair
  • 00:22:08
    and if he has read any of the you know
  • 00:22:12
    reviews of his
  • 00:22:13
    broadcasts and I asked him because when
  • 00:22:15
    I I did speak to him briefly on a p he
  • 00:22:18
    was on this podcast but only for like 10
  • 00:22:20
    minutes before the season and I asked
  • 00:22:23
    him what his biggest concern was going
  • 00:22:25
    into the booth he said he didn't want to
  • 00:22:26
    be overly critical and I asked him if he
  • 00:22:28
    you know had how he felt he did in that
  • 00:22:29
    area um so it was fine but
  • 00:22:34
    again the if you see Aman Collinsworth
  • 00:22:40
    they're they're out there doing
  • 00:22:41
    interview Nance they're like here's the
  • 00:22:43
    thing with fxck they don't like Burkhart
  • 00:22:45
    do
  • 00:22:46
    interviews because they don't want it to
  • 00:22:49
    be about
  • 00:22:51
    Brady that's not going to help you like
  • 00:22:53
    you need to get time out there to show
  • 00:22:55
    his personality win over some viewers
  • 00:22:57
    there were so many people there were so
  • 00:22:59
    many football fans who don't like Tom
  • 00:23:01
    Brady for the simple fact that he's Tom
  • 00:23:02
    Brady and he kicked their team's asses
  • 00:23:04
    for a hundred years and won all those
  • 00:23:06
    super bows get him out there let him
  • 00:23:07
    show his personality let him have fun he
  • 00:23:09
    doesn't have to do my podcast put him on
  • 00:23:10
    any put him on part of my take let him
  • 00:23:12
    have a good time show the Personality
  • 00:23:14
    yeah he's had a lot of uh hits on uh
  • 00:23:17
    Colin coward show that does not count
  • 00:23:19
    that does not count that as the great
  • 00:23:21
    Bob raceman from The Daily News would
  • 00:23:23
    say is a Twinkie Munch that does not
  • 00:23:26
    count so don't tell me about Colin
  • 00:23:27
    coward I don't know about rayan's what
  • 00:23:30
    what did you call it a Twinkie Munch he
  • 00:23:31
    C whenever he Bob raceman of the D the
  • 00:23:34
    media critic for the Daily News for his
  • 00:23:37
    entire career refers to softball
  • 00:23:39
    interviews as a twinky Munch so like if
  • 00:23:43
    I had you
  • 00:23:45
    know you know Derek Jeter on this
  • 00:23:47
    podcast he'd call it a Twinkie Munch
  • 00:23:49
    because I wouldn't ask any hard-hitting
  • 00:23:50
    questions oh right right yeah yeah so
  • 00:23:52
    Tom Brady going on FS1 does not count
  • 00:23:55
    yeah I I have a complaint with with Jim
  • 00:23:58
    Trina I mean because of you I I know
  • 00:24:00
    Derek Jeter's middle name I mean it
  • 00:24:02
    drives me Daddy yeah it's terrible yeah
  • 00:24:06
    but you know that doesn't count so maybe
  • 00:24:08
    next year they'll now I also don't know
  • 00:24:10
    that's the other funny thing is like Tom
  • 00:24:12
    Tom Brady he does have a personality and
  • 00:24:15
    and he and he has a um look he's the
  • 00:24:18
    star quarterback of the greatest
  • 00:24:20
    quarterback of all time he he went to I
  • 00:24:23
    I was in um uh New Orleans this week and
  • 00:24:27
    he went into to the Four Seasons bar
  • 00:24:30
    with Joe
  • 00:24:31
    Montana and I got texted by like three
  • 00:24:35
    different people like they because
  • 00:24:36
    because it was exciting it was like wow
  • 00:24:39
    like they he still has this sort of like
  • 00:24:41
    you know uh um Ju Just magnetism that's
  • 00:24:45
    out there and I I I do question why uh
  • 00:24:48
    uh Fox decided to keep it under wraps as
  • 00:24:52
    for the entire season pretty much yeah
  • 00:24:55
    um blowout game do you think it hurt the
  • 00:24:58
    rating you think they still set a record
  • 00:25:00
    what's your take blow a blowout game I I
  • 00:25:02
    know I was predicting uh a record
  • 00:25:05
    audience before the game because all all
  • 00:25:08
    chiefs games are closed because it was a
  • 00:25:09
    blowout almost certainly uh uh it it
  • 00:25:12
    won't set a record but um uh the neelon
  • 00:25:17
    CH is change they're always sort of
  • 00:25:19
    changing the way that they count uh
  • 00:25:21
    viewers and they they did it again so
  • 00:25:24
    it's they're adding in um uh out of I
  • 00:25:27
    don't want to get too much in the Weeds
  • 00:25:29
    on this podcast but they're adding in
  • 00:25:30
    out of home viewers uh which is going to
  • 00:25:33
    increase it a little bit Fox put it on
  • 00:25:35
    tuby we don't know how many people would
  • 00:25:37
    have watched it uh would streamed it on
  • 00:25:40
    tuby I think the when we see the final
  • 00:25:43
    number it's going to be a uh obviously
  • 00:25:46
    the B the biggest number you know in in
  • 00:25:48
    TV this year but uh I I think it's going
  • 00:25:50
    to be a really really respectable number
  • 00:25:53
    I I don't think that it's Pro I mean it
  • 00:25:56
    has to beat an overtime game that
  • 00:25:58
    from from just last year so it's
  • 00:26:00
    unlikely to do that but I I a quick
  • 00:26:03
    prediction it's going to come out I I'll
  • 00:26:04
    look really stupid but I wouldn't be
  • 00:26:06
    surpris if it's still over 120
  • 00:26:08
    million I had no idea what tub was until
  • 00:26:11
    like two weeks ago when Fox started
  • 00:26:13
    promoting it for the super um and still
  • 00:26:16
    don't really like it's a streaming
  • 00:26:18
    service but I don't know is it like N I
  • 00:26:20
    don't know whatever I don't want to get
  • 00:26:21
    into that
  • 00:26:22
    um I do you don't think see I I think it
  • 00:26:26
    still has a chance for the simple fact
  • 00:26:30
    of
  • 00:26:31
    the
  • 00:26:33
    Chiefs bringing in so many Fringe people
  • 00:26:36
    who don't care about
  • 00:26:38
    football yeah how many of those Fringe
  • 00:26:40
    people stuck around to the end there
  • 00:26:41
    weren't too many Chief touchdowns where
  • 00:26:43
    you have cutaways to Taylor Swift uh
  • 00:26:46
    well that was amazing I think they
  • 00:26:47
    showed her once during the whole
  • 00:26:48
    broadcast the the the one thing that
  • 00:26:50
    that I do go back to is is back when
  • 00:26:52
    Dallas was good uh the Cowboys you when
  • 00:26:55
    when they would win it would be it would
  • 00:26:58
    bring in Monster ratings and when they
  • 00:27:00
    would get blown out it would bring in
  • 00:27:02
    Monster ratings because the number of
  • 00:27:03
    people that hated the Cowboys the Chiefs
  • 00:27:06
    uh they're they're not quite the same
  • 00:27:08
    type of villains as the Cowboys but
  • 00:27:11
    there's a lot of anti- Chief Behavior so
  • 00:27:13
    as you see Patrick momes and Travis
  • 00:27:16
    Kelce going down 24 nothing are people
  • 00:27:18
    reving in that and want to see more of
  • 00:27:20
    it I I don't think they're quite at that
  • 00:27:22
    level yet but that that that could that
  • 00:27:24
    could also help the ratings a little bit
  • 00:27:26
    I'm going to disagree with you there I
  • 00:27:27
    think there's more than you think I
  • 00:27:28
    think there's more than you think and
  • 00:27:30
    the the Taylor Swift fans are deranged
  • 00:27:32
    they will watch the entire game just to
  • 00:27:35
    see if there's a cutaway of her that's
  • 00:27:37
    what they're there for they don't care
  • 00:27:38
    about the score they look they just want
  • 00:27:40
    any cutaway they want to see if Travis
  • 00:27:42
    makes a catch so I don't be I I'm not
  • 00:27:45
    saying they're gonna set the record I
  • 00:27:47
    just wouldn't be shocked if they do
  • 00:27:48
    would I wouldn't i' would be surprised
  • 00:27:50
    if they set the record I wouldn't be the
  • 00:27:52
    shock so whatever that that nebulous
  • 00:27:56
    level is the number is going to be huge
  • 00:27:58
    though it's going to be huge it will be
  • 00:28:00
    huge for sure um I didn't watch any of
  • 00:28:03
    the commercials but that's what a lot of
  • 00:28:04
    people watch for I'm sure people
  • 00:28:05
    listening right now want to know
  • 00:28:06
    something about the commercials so did
  • 00:28:09
    you have favorites what did you think of
  • 00:28:10
    the commercials give give my listeners
  • 00:28:13
    something on the commercials because I
  • 00:28:15
    cannot god well I didn't I I didn't
  • 00:28:18
    really have a favorite on on the
  • 00:28:20
    commercials oh wow um that's not a good
  • 00:28:22
    sign you know none of them none of them
  • 00:28:24
    uh really stood out to me there there
  • 00:28:26
    was uh the one with David Beckham this
  • 00:28:29
    is what I love about the the commercials
  • 00:28:31
    I I the one with David Beckham and um
  • 00:28:35
    Matt Damon and I have no clue what they
  • 00:28:37
    were selling but uh I I watched all 30
  • 00:28:40
    seconds of that
  • 00:28:41
    commercial and I thought it was I I I
  • 00:28:44
    thought it was entertaining and you have
  • 00:28:46
    no idea what it was for what was it for
  • 00:28:48
    in me indeed I have
  • 00:28:51
    no funny I saw it was for a puck to
  • 00:28:55
    subscribe to The Varsity
  • 00:28:58
    good star power I
  • 00:29:01
    saw a couple of weeks ago on Twitter the
  • 00:29:05
    when Harry metali Billy Crystal mag Ryan
  • 00:29:08
    yeah that was there was nothing new or
  • 00:29:10
    unusual when that came in yeah but Brian
  • 00:29:12
    Curtis who covers media as well for the
  • 00:29:15
    ringer made a good point my first
  • 00:29:17
    thought when I saw that commercial
  • 00:29:19
    was there's no mayo on the tables at
  • 00:29:22
    cat's Deli and then no no my thought was
  • 00:29:26
    nobody gets turkey at cats's Deli
  • 00:29:28
    and Brian Curtis tweeted during the game
  • 00:29:30
    he's never seen anyone at cass's Deli
  • 00:29:33
    use mayo and I said yeah no one orders
  • 00:29:35
    turkey CES Deli so that was a
  • 00:29:38
    bizarre um it was nice to see Billy
  • 00:29:40
    Crystal and Meg gryan reunite but didn't
  • 00:29:43
    make if you if you're a New Yorker like
  • 00:29:44
    no one outside of New York understands
  • 00:29:46
    what the hell I'm talking about but
  • 00:29:47
    cat's Deli is this New York City
  • 00:29:51
    institution um Landmark Place for corn
  • 00:29:55
    beef and for pastrami for pastrami
  • 00:29:57
    that's what it's for for and and soup
  • 00:30:00
    matab ball soup and stuff like that the
  • 00:30:03
    turkey and Mayo is not you know if you
  • 00:30:05
    look at the cats is a 12:00 today you
  • 00:30:06
    won't see anyone eating that yeah as you
  • 00:30:08
    know I'm from DC grew up in DC like I
  • 00:30:11
    think I would be scared to order Mayo at
  • 00:30:13
    at cat's Deli yeah The Soup Nazi would
  • 00:30:17
    yell at me couple of things just to look
  • 00:30:20
    ahead here uh MBC has the Super Bowl
  • 00:30:23
    next
  • 00:30:24
    year and then I think the big one for
  • 00:30:26
    people who do what we do and I think
  • 00:30:28
    it'll it'll trickle down to the sports
  • 00:30:30
    fan two years from now so the year after
  • 00:30:32
    next ESPN and ABC finally get back in
  • 00:30:36
    the Super Bowl business they had the
  • 00:30:38
    Super Bowl back in the Monday Night
  • 00:30:39
    Football days I remember uh I think the
  • 00:30:42
    last one maybe was Allan Boomer seison
  • 00:30:44
    doing the Rams and Titans maybe the last
  • 00:30:46
    one yeah I think that was in Detroit if
  • 00:30:48
    I'm not
  • 00:30:49
    mistaken but this new version sort of of
  • 00:30:53
    the ESPN ABC Disney company with Joe and
  • 00:30:57
    Troy get it in years and what I'm
  • 00:30:59
    interested in is there is nothing ever
  • 00:31:02
    that has been hyped like the Super Bowl
  • 00:31:05
    whenever it's on any network and there
  • 00:31:07
    is no company in the world that can do
  • 00:31:09
    hype like ESPN so it will be fascinating
  • 00:31:12
    to see what happens in two years when
  • 00:31:14
    they finally get that Super Bowl can I
  • 00:31:16
    talk about uh next year real quick sure
  • 00:31:18
    go ahead yeah NBC gets it next year NBC
  • 00:31:22
    has done it forever however a couple of
  • 00:31:24
    days before the Super Bowl there they
  • 00:31:27
    they're the opening ceremony of the
  • 00:31:30
    Winter Olympics so they're going to be
  • 00:31:33
    covering the opening ceremony of the
  • 00:31:34
    Winter Olympics which is a huge event
  • 00:31:36
    for NBC then a couple days later they're
  • 00:31:39
    going to be doing the Super Bowl and
  • 00:31:41
    then uh a week after that they're gonna
  • 00:31:43
    have the NBA All-Star Game which I know
  • 00:31:45
    is not of the same level but it still is
  • 00:31:48
    a big level and it'll be the very first
  • 00:31:50
    one for NBC so they they're going to
  • 00:31:52
    have this run of a week and a half of of
  • 00:31:56
    really again people are going to laugh
  • 00:31:59
    that I put the NBA All-Star Game in
  • 00:32:01
    these massive events with the opening
  • 00:32:02
    ceremony in the the Super Bowl but in
  • 00:32:05
    terms of production in terms of a uh
  • 00:32:07
    executive sort of talent needing to be
  • 00:32:10
    there it it's it's going to be a wild um
  • 00:32:13
    a week and a half stretch for those guys
  • 00:32:15
    I'm putting you on the spot because this
  • 00:32:16
    is a year away but do you know I'm
  • 00:32:18
    curious the day the like how the opening
  • 00:32:22
    ceremonies or how
  • 00:32:25
    far before the Super Bowl like a couple
  • 00:32:28
    of days it's a couple of days yeah it's
  • 00:32:31
    not so what I'm because I'm thinking
  • 00:32:33
    about too what's going to go on here
  • 00:32:34
    with too during that time uh so yeah t
  • 00:32:37
    too is uh is the host of the the
  • 00:32:39
    Olympics as you know yep zero chance is
  • 00:32:43
    Mike too gonna give up broadcasting
  • 00:32:46
    being the play uh play on the Super Bowl
  • 00:32:49
    so I I think that he you know the uh
  • 00:32:51
    corporate jet of um and NBC's corporate
  • 00:32:55
    jet is going to be uh going back and
  • 00:32:58
    forth that's usually a week where they
  • 00:33:00
    want the play-by-play guy you saw it
  • 00:33:02
    this week like they want them in that
  • 00:33:04
    host City all week doing you know a
  • 00:33:06
    bunch of nonsense and promotional stuff
  • 00:33:09
    oh yeah you know he I I can see a
  • 00:33:11
    scenario where um they I NBC hasn't
  • 00:33:15
    decided this yet I can see a scenario
  • 00:33:17
    where he is uh going to do the opening
  • 00:33:19
    ceremony because that's sort of like you
  • 00:33:21
    know hosting a a parade and and that
  • 00:33:24
    that's where I think too actually does a
  • 00:33:26
    a very good job with that is one of my
  • 00:33:28
    favorites I think he he's Elite play
  • 00:33:30
    byplay person on Absolut basketball on
  • 00:33:33
    football as well uh and so he he'll do
  • 00:33:35
    the opening ceremony and then and then
  • 00:33:37
    immediately jet to to uh the Super Bowl
  • 00:33:40
    will be in San Francisco uh Santa Clara
  • 00:33:42
    um and so um he'll immediately jet there
  • 00:33:46
    I'm not sure where the NBA All-Star Game
  • 00:33:48
    will fall for him but uh if if I'm NBC
  • 00:33:52
    the Olympics are are certainly actually
  • 00:33:54
    I don't know if they're a priority over
  • 00:33:55
    over the NBA considering it's year won
  • 00:33:58
    so I I spoke too quickly on that one so
  • 00:34:01
    let me let me steal a bit from Andrew
  • 00:34:03
    marshan our dear friend and uh even
  • 00:34:07
    though you know Tom Tom has come out
  • 00:34:10
    this week he said it was my question
  • 00:34:11
    where he said it on that conference call
  • 00:34:13
    that he's around for nine more years and
  • 00:34:16
    his agent has come out recently said
  • 00:34:17
    he's staying with Fox so next year NBC
  • 00:34:20
    has a Super Bowl which John just
  • 00:34:22
    detailed along with the Winter Olympics
  • 00:34:23
    right around the same time two years
  • 00:34:25
    from now it's ESPN AB well it's on ABC
  • 00:34:27
    see but is ESPN production um and then
  • 00:34:31
    three years from now is CBS and then
  • 00:34:32
    four years from now it'll roll back to
  • 00:34:35
    Fox so in four years so that's 2029 will
  • 00:34:39
    that be Burkhart and Brady in the booth
  • 00:34:41
    for Fox oh that's I wasn't expecting you
  • 00:34:43
    to take the question to four years from
  • 00:34:45
    now that's a great that's a great
  • 00:34:46
    question I'm not prepared for that
  • 00:34:49
    one where's Maran we got to get him on
  • 00:34:51
    the line give he can give us the uh the
  • 00:34:53
    Brady meter yeah his his his version of
  • 00:34:54
    The Brady meter by the way we're 30
  • 00:34:56
    minutes in and you finally mentioned
  • 00:34:57
    marshan I like thank you for giving me
  • 00:34:59
    the 30 minutes marshan free half hour
  • 00:35:03
    well he was the one who was saying you
  • 00:35:04
    know every week like whether Brady will
  • 00:35:06
    be doing this next year or what you know
  • 00:35:08
    how many I think you know we've all
  • 00:35:09
    gotten in on it but that Super Bowl the
  • 00:35:11
    next Super Bowl for Brady is in four
  • 00:35:13
    years so we'll have to see all right so
  • 00:35:15
    uh in four in four years uh that here's
  • 00:35:19
    what I'll say I'll just point you to um
  • 00:35:22
    um the Boston Globe columnist Chad Finn
  • 00:35:26
    who who who has
  • 00:35:28
    uh been around Brady and covered not
  • 00:35:30
    been around Brady but covered Brady for
  • 00:35:32
    the Boston Globe during his playing
  • 00:35:34
    career and when uh Tom Brady's agent uh
  • 00:35:39
    came out and said that he was gonna
  • 00:35:41
    honor the contract uh Chad Finn I think
  • 00:35:44
    he went on D's podcast and said he still
  • 00:35:47
    expects him to to not do any more years
  • 00:35:50
    after this year and and he uh I think he
  • 00:35:52
    put it in print as well um I I'm I'm a
  • 00:35:56
    naive sort I take people at their word
  • 00:35:58
    uh the Box Executives expect him to be
  • 00:36:00
    around Brady says he wants to be around
  • 00:36:03
    he he's uh he appears to be having fun
  • 00:36:06
    he appear uh he's making $37 million a
  • 00:36:09
    year to do it I mean could could you
  • 00:36:11
    does anybody have so much money that
  • 00:36:13
    they're going to pass up calling a
  • 00:36:14
    football game for half a year for $37
  • 00:36:18
    million so I will say yes he will be
  • 00:36:20
    around in four years to uh to do that
  • 00:36:22
    Super Bowl all right last one before I
  • 00:36:24
    let you go it was mentioned
  • 00:36:28
    this past week to
  • 00:36:30
    Goodell about the NFL having an out with
  • 00:36:35
    their television
  • 00:36:37
    contracts what year can the is the out
  • 00:36:40
    do you know yeah it's after the uh 2029
  • 00:36:43
    season so so it would be the 2030 Super
  • 00:36:47
    Bowl how on Earth can they not opt out
  • 00:36:50
    with these streaming
  • 00:36:52
    services uh well I think they're going
  • 00:36:55
    to opt out I I I think it's almost
  • 00:36:57
    certain they're going to opt out but let
  • 00:36:59
    me answer that question how why why
  • 00:37:01
    might they not is you said everything is
  • 00:37:05
    going so fast right now so like what
  • 00:37:08
    happens if you know somebody buys Fox
  • 00:37:12
    and and and or or a couple of the
  • 00:37:14
    broadcast networks merge or and and all
  • 00:37:17
    of a sudden you don't have as many
  • 00:37:18
    biders uh that are out there one thing
  • 00:37:21
    one red flag for the NFL which is she
  • 00:37:25
    massively massively success ESS F of
  • 00:37:28
    course for the in terms of media is that
  • 00:37:32
    they right now they kind of have enough
  • 00:37:35
    packages for the same number of biders
  • 00:37:38
    and the the reason the NBA uh was so
  • 00:37:42
    successful in its media rights is that
  • 00:37:44
    they had one more bidder than the number
  • 00:37:46
    of packages so it just drove drove the
  • 00:37:48
    rights up so why wouldn't you come out
  • 00:37:50
    maybe maybe Netflix is decides I don't
  • 00:37:53
    want a Sunday Night Football package or
  • 00:37:56
    or the Sunday afternoon packages and and
  • 00:37:59
    and so that could be a reason there I
  • 00:38:02
    don't think I think it's certain that
  • 00:38:03
    they're going to opt out and I think
  • 00:38:05
    it's certain that more more biders are
  • 00:38:07
    going to come in there but there is
  • 00:38:09
    something that I called it a red flag it
  • 00:38:11
    should probably be more of a you know
  • 00:38:12
    yellow flag or something that's out
  • 00:38:14
    there but uh that that's uh that's just
  • 00:38:17
    something to
  • 00:38:19
    consider yeah it just it just seems with
  • 00:38:23
    Netflix Amazon and apple lurking it
  • 00:38:25
    would make no sense with the NFL and not
  • 00:38:27
    out but we'll see what happens and and
  • 00:38:30
    like you said who knows what where
  • 00:38:32
    networks will be in in four years it's
  • 00:38:35
    like you said it's moving so fast I mean
  • 00:38:38
    could you imagine Netflix getting uh
  • 00:38:41
    getting NFL games uh like four or five
  • 00:38:44
    years ago like like and and actually
  • 00:38:47
    like bring in the audiences that they
  • 00:38:49
    did I that's well that's why I think
  • 00:38:52
    this is all realistic because when you
  • 00:38:54
    see what the audiences are on when you
  • 00:38:57
    the audience for Netflix on
  • 00:39:00
    Christmas Amazon Prime each year seems
  • 00:39:03
    to be getting more and more viewers for
  • 00:39:04
    Thursday night just seems inevitable
  • 00:39:07
    with all that money they had that they'd
  • 00:39:09
    want a piece of the pie yeah but then
  • 00:39:11
    you know maybe they're they're getting
  • 00:39:12
    the subscribers and they don't need as
  • 00:39:14
    much content in order to to get them in
  • 00:39:18
    so I mean that's
  • 00:39:19
    a that's if you're Amazon are you happy
  • 00:39:22
    enough with Thursday night football
  • 00:39:24
    because if you're an NFL subscriber you
  • 00:39:26
    got to you got to do Amazon Prime all
  • 00:39:28
    the time why should I spend more to get
  • 00:39:30
    a better package when I'm I'm they're
  • 00:39:33
    already coming in to see my Thursday
  • 00:39:34
    night football what incrementally how
  • 00:39:36
    much more can you get all right well at
  • 00:39:39
    least we don't have to worry about it
  • 00:39:40
    for four years
  • 00:39:41
    so I have to worry about it that you
  • 00:39:44
    just Define what I'm gonna be writing
  • 00:39:45
    about for the next four years yeah all
  • 00:39:47
    right so overall Fox Super Bowl
  • 00:39:50
    telecast was fine was good
  • 00:39:54
    fine I I find it hard to actually put a
  • 00:39:56
    grade to it just cuz like it was a
  • 00:39:58
    blowout it's so hard you know I agree
  • 00:40:01
    age uh one thing you didn't bring up I
  • 00:40:02
    was expecting you to bring up my my uh
  • 00:40:05
    social
  • 00:40:07
    feeds Furious to see the score bug yeah
  • 00:40:11
    here's how I know something's a disaster
  • 00:40:14
    when I don't tweet about something and I
  • 00:40:16
    get people bombarding me with what do
  • 00:40:18
    you think of what do you think of what
  • 00:40:20
    do you think of so you know I I wasn't
  • 00:40:22
    on Twitter maybe for the first five
  • 00:40:24
    minutes of the game because I'm trying
  • 00:40:26
    to
  • 00:40:27
    get a feel for the game you know here
  • 00:40:30
    Brady start you know the game I didn't
  • 00:40:31
    check Twitter for maybe five 10 minutes
  • 00:40:33
    and and then the first time I checked it
  • 00:40:35
    into the game my whole it was just all
  • 00:40:37
    people asking me about the score bug and
  • 00:40:39
    ripping the score bug it's just too big
  • 00:40:41
    it's just way too big it was fine if you
  • 00:40:43
    could shrink it but it's too big yeah I
  • 00:40:45
    didn't I didn't mind the square bug I
  • 00:40:47
    the thing about Square bugs to me is you
  • 00:40:48
    get used to them eventually so you know
  • 00:40:50
    right well that's true but smaller is
  • 00:40:53
    better yeah I I I I could see where they
  • 00:40:55
    would make it smaller it was very
  • 00:40:57
    minimalist though I mean it was a and it
  • 00:41:00
    showed it despite the fact that it was
  • 00:41:03
    big I I still felt like I could see more
  • 00:41:05
    of the screen you know like more more
  • 00:41:07
    the the the action on the field but
  • 00:41:10
    here's what I don't understand this may
  • 00:41:11
    be hard to explain on a on an audio
  • 00:41:14
    podcast or when you don't see the
  • 00:41:15
    graphic but like it it would have like
  • 00:41:17
    you know K it would say KC and the score
  • 00:41:20
    in a monster font and then next to it
  • 00:41:23
    would be open space and then it would be
  • 00:41:27
    like the clock I think and then open
  • 00:41:30
    space and then F but why not just kill
  • 00:41:33
    the open space and shrink it and then
  • 00:41:34
    it's smaller and I don't know I the
  • 00:41:38
    score buug to me is someone saying look
  • 00:41:41
    how fancy I can get look at me look at
  • 00:41:44
    me look at me that's what the score
  • 00:41:45
    there's someone out there like watch
  • 00:41:46
    what I'm going to invent it it happens
  • 00:41:49
    every Super Bowl every big event uh is
  • 00:41:52
    an opportunity to just upgrade you know
  • 00:41:55
    they don't want well that's go ahead I'm
  • 00:41:57
    sorry
  • 00:41:58
    they don't want to have the same look
  • 00:41:59
    for 30 years CU that become especially
  • 00:42:01
    in TV that that just looks old and stale
  • 00:42:03
    so it's you know it is almost more of a
  • 00:42:05
    marketing aspect right but it also shows
  • 00:42:08
    you and this has been my mantra for
  • 00:42:10
    years and this is what sports fans need
  • 00:42:12
    to understand the Super Bowl is not
  • 00:42:14
    about the sports fan the NFL Fox CBS NBC
  • 00:42:18
    they don't care about the NFL fan when
  • 00:42:21
    it comes to the Super Bowl because if
  • 00:42:22
    they cared about the NFL fan they
  • 00:42:24
    wouldn't change the score bug for the
  • 00:42:26
    final game the season and the most
  • 00:42:28
    important game of the season and cause
  • 00:42:29
    an upro about the scoreboard but they're
  • 00:42:31
    interested in the 70 million people who
  • 00:42:33
    don't watch football that decide to
  • 00:42:36
    swoop in to watch Taylor Swift and Lady
  • 00:42:38
    Gaga and Kendrick Lamar they don't give
  • 00:42:39
    a about the person like you and me
  • 00:42:42
    who are there every Sunday from
  • 00:42:43
    September to January and that's what
  • 00:42:45
    people have to understand but in if you
  • 00:42:48
    think about it logically even take it
  • 00:42:49
    outside of any like this is your biggest
  • 00:42:51
    day of the year this is the last game of
  • 00:42:54
    the year let's change it it doesn't
  • 00:42:56
    that's ridiculous like no one would
  • 00:42:58
    think that way in a normal setting but
  • 00:43:00
    they don't care about the sport fan
  • 00:43:01
    who's watching the game so
  • 00:43:04
    funny Sorry Sorry by the way I I I I've
  • 00:43:08

  • 00:43:09
