Yeah.

I mean, it's hard in May to say, well, I'm just telling you, Atlanta with Pennix, for example. I'm not saying that's a team. Like, what are the teams that are – are the Rams much better?
Pardon My Take
NHL Playoffs With Paul Bissonnette, Chris Berman, Thunder Take Game 1, Jordon Is Engaged To Be Married, RG3 vs Ryan Clark + FAQ's
I mean, they gave – every time in the playoffs, they're a tough out. Are they better? I'm talking about a team – of course, Washington was not on the playoff radar. What's that team? Because we know like five or six of them don't go back to the playoffs. So who's that?
Pardon My Take
NHL Playoffs With Paul Bissonnette, Chris Berman, Thunder Take Game 1, Jordon Is Engaged To Be Married, RG3 vs Ryan Clark + FAQ's
Well, I think you're right. Of course, now we think Dallas, healthy quarterback, along with Philly and Washington, like that's a tough climb with those six games. Absolutely. And they go two and four. That would be a win for what you just said. Who else, you know, is there room to move? Well, we know the NFC is tougher overall, right?
Pardon My Take
NHL Playoffs With Paul Bissonnette, Chris Berman, Thunder Take Game 1, Jordon Is Engaged To Be Married, RG3 vs Ryan Clark + FAQ's
Because obviously the Central, I still call it the Norris division. The Bears lost a lot of games. They're going to be better. But the other three teams are also going to be good. Detroit's going to be them. Green Bay is going to be good. Um, very good again. So hard to move. So the bears have a much better record. Again, they got to play those teams. The West is, I agree with San Francisco.
Pardon My Take
NHL Playoffs With Paul Bissonnette, Chris Berman, Thunder Take Game 1, Jordon Is Engaged To Be Married, RG3 vs Ryan Clark + FAQ's
They either miss the playoffs or they get to at least championship game.
Pardon My Take
NHL Playoffs With Paul Bissonnette, Chris Berman, Thunder Take Game 1, Jordon Is Engaged To Be Married, RG3 vs Ryan Clark + FAQ's
Yeah. They're going to be good. The Rams are going to be good. Don't overlook Seattle, Arizona. I don't know, but let's just say two and a half teams in that division South. Well, that's the opening, right? Like could, uh, But it won't be – it's a little early for the Panthers. You know what I'm saying. So in the AFC, where Miami fell and the Jets fell, and will they be back or – back, the Jets.
Pardon My Take
NHL Playoffs With Paul Bissonnette, Chris Berman, Thunder Take Game 1, Jordon Is Engaged To Be Married, RG3 vs Ryan Clark + FAQ's
Will Miami be – or can the Patriots move like the Giants to your point, seven and ten, eight, nine? Um, we still don't know who Pittsburgh's quarterback is, uh, in that division. We think the Bengals will be, won't start out one and four or whatever the hell they always do. Uh, the Browns. I mean, I sad.

NHL Playoffs With Paul Bissonnette, Chris Berman, Thunder Take Game 1, Jordon Is Engaged To Be Married, RG3 vs Ryan Clark + FAQ's
Yeah. Um, You know, we know Baltimore, we haven't brought them up as usual, right? I actually looked at knowing I was doing this show, and again, analyze the schedules. I kind of just looked at the upper echelon off of last year. I looked at Kansas City, Buffalo, Baltimore, just real quick, like a half hour ago.
Pardon My Take
NHL Playoffs With Paul Bissonnette, Chris Berman, Thunder Take Game 1, Jordon Is Engaged To Be Married, RG3 vs Ryan Clark + FAQ's
It seems like Baltimore's schedule is they play the good teams on the road, and the others have more of the good teams at home. Again, that doesn't ensure anything. but they're going to be formidable. At what point is this a year for Lamar? But again, it all depends on the Chiefs. But somehow the Chiefs and the Bills will miss each other in the playoffs. What does that mean?
Pardon My Take
NHL Playoffs With Paul Bissonnette, Chris Berman, Thunder Take Game 1, Jordon Is Engaged To Be Married, RG3 vs Ryan Clark + FAQ's
Could be. Or something else where the Bengals just beat the Chiefs, which they have, right? So betting against the Chiefs would be foolish, too. I'm not claiming the Bills will get there because they won't play the Chiefs. That's why we talk about it in May.
Pardon My Take
NHL Playoffs With Paul Bissonnette, Chris Berman, Thunder Take Game 1, Jordon Is Engaged To Be Married, RG3 vs Ryan Clark + FAQ's
That's a better question than you think. And I'll tell you why. Because I do go to Hawaii after the Super Bowl. I live there part-time. I mean, you know, I go get my eight-week, whatever, and I don't do the draft. The first time I even put a tie on from the Super Bowls, how do you tie this?

But week one, that's when I know how to do it. We know how to drive a car. You know, it's not all of a sudden a stick shift that you rented in Europe and it's like find them, grind them. Week one, you go in, it's like, do I... Did I bring my little earpiece? Did I remember to bring my three or four time? Because I always am a game time decision, by the way.
Pardon My Take
NHL Playoffs With Paul Bissonnette, Chris Berman, Thunder Take Game 1, Jordon Is Engaged To Be Married, RG3 vs Ryan Clark + FAQ's
I always bring three or four and decide about 20 minutes before we go on. Okay, that's the one tonight. You got to have a game time decision. Yeah. I have little butterflies. Not nervous, but...

And I said, well, I'm not analyzing what their cap is. I'm not analyzing the draft numbers, so there might be different answers. But if... similar to yours if you can hit in Chicago if you can hit you know if you can hit now that's a big hit every team in the division won 11 games but if you can hit there so Washington was if you can hit That was great.

Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
No. No, I don't see it. I mean, the only constant, there was a couple of changes in the Hawks, but the Hawks were... I mean, Russ Grimm and Bostic. I mean, there were a couple of – LeShea was – he wasn't on the first team. Right, but they were – you're right. Three different quarterbacks? It's pretty crazy.

They, I mean, those fans there, I was at a couple of those championship games, the 82 and the 83. It was in 83. They beat San Francisco, but lost the Super Bowl. So, I mean, it was like, whoa. I was young then covering that. I was like, look at these stands. They're moving and they're singing Hail to the Redskins at the time. You know, it was like, this is good. It's good. It's like Detroit.

It's good that they were good. And they'll be good next year. And Buffalo. So, what's going to happen next year is, Somehow, unless the Bills have a rough year, which I think they'll be better, they came farther than a lot of people thought in August.

Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
So I've been fortunate enough. So let me say that I don't go to that many because of all the Sunday shows. So in the 80s and sometimes Monday night games, I would go until I was doing all this stuff. So one, you know, I'm at all the Super Bowls. So we could pick any of like 10, right? So you want to eliminate them for a moment while I do this? Sure. I was at the Monday night game.

Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
The Marino beat the 85 Bears. Oh. Because they were 12-0. And they were the Bears. I mean, in one year, they were the Bears. Get you in, McMahon. And I don't have to tell you. I mean, they're just...

Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
But, you know, you go in the building about 7 and you leave at 12, 30 at night and you go home and then take a 6 o'clock plane to go to Miami because you're going to see the game of the year. I think it's still the highest rated Monday night game of all time because the ratings were different then anyway, right? And it's in the Orange Bowl, right?
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
which, say what you want, rickety, it's the Orange Bowl. Yep. Okay? And hang out to get that. Do my pregame interviews. Including Coach Shula. He always gave me one. Not sure why, but he did. Like at 6.05 on SportsCenter, he would be there. And he got up something to eat and came back down. And about 15 minutes before the game, they started at 9 o'clock Eastern then. So it was late.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
But, you know, you come down. It's under the orange wall. It's like a light, like a carpenter's light, like hanging like a single light bulb as you walk under the stairs. Like, are you kidding me?

All those guys from the 72 Dolphins. The Bears are not winning this game. I don't know how that's going to go. And they didn't.

Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
So it was like late September was their first game. It was a Monday night game, which we had that year in 06. It was Atlanta. And, you know, it was unbelievable. People were hugging and crying in the stands like, you made it. You know, season tickets. You're friends with them, but you don't even know where they live. Like, hey, did you make it? You don't know their phone number.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
You're like a family at these games. And we came out to everybody, and I was the last one. Steve Young was on the set, Tommy, et cetera. And they came to me, and you could just feel it and what it meant to these people here in New Orleans. I'm tearing because sports still does that to me.

I'm glad you made time for me. We've had all different locales. We're moving the next, if you go for the week, which you probably will next year. So we've done... We've done the Midwest, like both North and South, Chicago and New Orleans.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
It'll be San Francisco. We're truly global.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
I want to put something out there, because this show can maybe help. So these international games, which are fine, you know, whatever. I said it on the air, so it's not, and I don't know when they're scheduled yet, but Veterans Day weekend, they played in Germany two years in a row. This year it's in the Olympic Stadium, which, you know what the background, NFL, do me a favor. Any other week.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
Germany's great. They're a great ally. It has nothing to do with it. Not Veterans Day weekend. Yeah. Before you make the schedule, listen to Pardon My Take. Yes. Because I said it on Fastest Three Minutes that night. Yeah, I know. I remember that. I went, ah. Veterans Day in Germany. Hmm. Can't misquote me, but you know what I meant. Right. Like, don't do it. Play any other week. I'm good. Yeah.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
Bratwurst for everybody. Yeah. You know? Yeah.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
Oktoberfest.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
Yeah. Sure. I mean, there's plenty of things we can do.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
Wienerschnitzel. They're free. Yeah. But not then. Veterans Day. I don't know. You would think I could get that done by speaking on ESPN. This is how I think of your show.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
I'm in Maui.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
Kalooks, my man.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
No, no.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
Yeah.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
Yeah, podcasting pays well.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
Right.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
No, no.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
Yeah. Big time. Definitely.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
Yeah.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
Well, hi, fellas. Le raconteur et le grand chat, named after Andres Galarraga, the big cat, and the commenter, the raconteur, the explainer. I never thought of that number until I did a couple interviews about 45, and I'm the first at ESPN to get to 45, which, again, I don't know if that meant I climbed Mount Everest or discovered the North Pole or what it is. Yeah. That was never a goal.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
And a couple of folks, like you said, well, have you thought of 50? I said, actually, I have not, because that was never a goal. But, you know, we have our first, ABC's had Super Bowls, but ESPN has their first Super Bowl in a couple of years. I think they want me around for that. I mean, I'm not saying they should, but I think they do. If I get there, that's kind of 47 and a half at this point.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
Either tush, push it, or give it more Sean Lynch and get in the darn end zone.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
I think this is the site. I mean, you guys have treated me like royalty. I'm really not sure why. But I love it. Like I said, I get stopped nine months later after we do the Super Bowl show and either tells me one of two things. Your show with a part of my tech guys is great. It tells me one of two things.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
It tells me it was really a great show and they remember it or the rest of your shows are terrible. I really haven't decided yet, but I'm here to bail you out.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
So 50, if they'll look, if they're stupid enough to have me, I'd love to do it because I'm. It's football. Yeah, it's football. It's football.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
And then I come after football because I don't do everything I used to.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
You deserve every second of it. You don't know. I'm going to have to live a long time to play the golf if I can shoot my age. I'm going to have to live to about 87.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
okay but you know we'll see maybe we can lower that to 84 but thank you it is it was never a goal yeah and if we get into this with goals like i'm gonna do this i'm gonna be famous i'm gonna make this kind of money we don't get there no but once you reach the stage you the numbers in front of you have to think about it yeah it's not the the start at the start you weren't like 50 is my number but you're so close it's like yeah 50 would be magical we'll build a statue be the first well i don't need that but um
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
Put my face somewhere that they could throw darts at. But it would be a 50-year employee at ESPN. There may not be another one. Because times are different. That's what I'm saying. This business is so hard.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
I'm in. I'm glad you're in. Okay.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
It stayed the same more than you think. Now, that sounds goofy after what we've just said. I mean, my first Super Bowl, just to put it to that, was Super Bowl XVI, the Niners' first one. And, you know, the amount of media coverage. I mean, it's A versus Z, obviously. And a different media. So it's like, okay, what's around it?
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
Even media day, 10 years ago, you still on Tuesday were in the stadium interviewing the guys.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
You know? Now it's Caligula or whatever they have, you know, on Monday. And it's OK. You know, 10, 12 years ago, I did the draft. Well, I did 35 of them, which doesn't make me good or bad, but it's whatever the number is. And until 10 years ago, like the biggest we had seen at Radio City Musical, which is, oh, my God, the history. And it's 5000 people and it's fun.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
And now we have half a million, you know, 250,000 people outside. maybe waiting for a name in 30 degrees. And okay, will it be Green Bay? I mean, how's that going to, well, I mean, it is April, but still. So, but the game itself, I mean, we're not getting XO. I mean, we could do that too. Because the Chiefs are a perfect reason to go XO, comparing them to the great teams that repeated, you know.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
That's actually fun when you think about it. Yeah. It's still the last game, I think. Okay. You guys are in at 730 in the morning. Not like that's the worst thing. There are plenty of people that go to work at 5 a.m. Now you're in and you're going to know the game plan. So there's still a lot of old world. Wrong term. No, but you're right. Older world.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
This is the way it's still set up week to week when you get there. I mean, the money and the this and the fame and this is all different. But success, they still... And look, they'll play 18 games. If it's not next year, it's the year after or whatever. And they'll play in Australia and they'll play whatever. But still not playing 162 games or 82 games.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
It does. You can have two off weeks and you're still okay.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
But you better not have four.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
And that's still... you know, the coaches go to work kind of the same way. They look at these films or whatever they're on now, you know, on Tuesday nights when the players are, you know, their day off, that really hasn't changed. So it's, it's changing the way they do it, but not that they do it. Does that make sense? Yeah, absolutely. So I kind of like it.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
There's still a, and when I see a pocket passer, which we don't, I still think of the first videos I'd see of Johnny Unitas, you know, like, or Namath, who was my guy, who I grew up with. And when there's a perfect pocket, and it's a pocket play, of which the minority now, right? Yeah. I see it, it's like, ooh. Or I see an old-fashioned screen, old-fashioned screen.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
I go back, and you're in, and you, oh my, there's, when we watch the games on Sundays, like you guys do, And my favorite is when Baltimore does it to Ricard, okay, the fullback. Yeah, yeah. I always beg John Harbaugh, like, come on, this is weak. You know, give me one. And it's like the ball floats, and it's not – He's not Lamar Jackson catching a screen pass.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
And then the three blockers you can see on TV. Ooh, this is set up great. And I still remember those plays. Again, it's a long answer for... I'm still excited. I still think there's a lot of similarity between... Yeah, baseball, I think football still holds the most to maybe 45 years ago, if that's the right thing to say. Yeah, it's still about toughness.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
Oh. That's a tough one because we're in the world of the GOAT. Again, the team is not some other initial GOAT.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
It's never been done in the Super Bowl era. No. So here's the thing. And, of course, their fourth one's not that far back, if they get it. Philly is the best team they're going to play. I mean, this would be rough. We'll get to the game for them. I majored in history of college, which neither here nor there. You know, did I go on to be a Rhodes Scholar? No.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
I'm saying I majored in history as well, didn't use it at all. Well, no, I do. You've got to say. Oh, I don't. Well, we're in the United States, so you've got to know who, you know, Abe Lincoln and Thomas Jefferson. I throw them in every now and then. George Washington. He's on the dollar bill. And, you know, Andrew Jackson in Mississippi, New Orleans. You'll hear him this week. I'll trot him out.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
Okay. And... So, first of all, I'd like, I've been thinking all year that we might see it. But certain things had to happen for them to get to this place. Last year, they won for the first time, but they beat Baltimore, Buffalo, then Baltimore on the road. I don't think their defense is quite as good as last year. They would probably admit that and say that.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
It's still better than the one that won the first time. Yep. But their offense was better than it. Their passing game was better. And they also knew that they did not have to beat both by working their tail off and blocking field goals and having the Raiders fumble the snap and doinking it in off the upright. And the size 15 shoe on Baltimore with the size 13 foot.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
I mean, we could go on and on and on. Oh, they're lucky to win. Well, all that got them home, and they did not have to play both Baltimore and Buffalo. I don't know that they could have gotten through the two of them on the road like last year. That sounds like I'm saying they wouldn't have won. No, but you're right. I don't know that they would have. Yeah. So are they the best team of all time?
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
The fact that you won three and Pittsburgh won two, but four in six years, I still look to them. But then again, that's, you know, I was young. And football was different. The difference, well, because Mahomes is constant, the coach is constant. I mean, I really haven't thought about this, that question, which is great. Yeah, because it is history. Chelsea's the same. Chris Jones.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
Yeah, Chris Jones. But there are not a lot of others, whereas Pittsburgh, although that was two and then not, and then four and six years, you didn't change rosters because you couldn't. Right. They played until they were almost too old. Right. Because other than the draft, you're not – there's not – Where are we getting players?
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
So guys who are in their 12th and 13th year, I mean, the Steelers were kind of – 78 Steelers for one year kind of come to mind. So best team meaning in a five- or six-, seven-year span or best single team? Because the Chiefs might say we've had – The offense that won the first one, which remember, they trailed by 10 in the fourth quarter of San Francisco or whatever it was, 11.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
But they had younger Mahomes, younger Kelsey, not necessarily better. Actually, not probably, but still them. Tyreek Hill. and Sammy Watkins, they, last year, they couldn't catch the ball. I mean, right? Until they had to. Yeah. Right. Until they flipped it.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
So, I'm taking a long time because I want to give you, so the fact that they would win three in a row, does that put them ahead of any other three-year span?
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
It is. As you guys know, no one's ever made it back to the Super Bowl. I mean, you would think one of them would have, but a lot of times they ran into a team that was going to win the Super Bowl. Miami, that's going way back. Well, that was the Sea of Hands, excuse me. Pittsburgh got beat by Oakland one of the times, and Oakland won that first Super Bowl. So...
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
Because they're not blowing teams away, the easy argument would be, well, wait a minute. Did you see those Patriots? Except they don't have a championship, so they almost eliminate themselves in the last minute, I guess, in this discussion, although they were great. The Bears of 85, which is, for a one-year team, that was like, whoa, obviously. The 49er team, they went 15-1 the year before that.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
More recently, New England. What would I say their – Well, their most wow team, because they scored 50 every week, was the 07, right? But their best team of the run was 04, of those three and four years. It was 04, they had a big running back. They had Corey Dillon, which they did not have the other two years, in 01 and 03.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
And Brady was better than he was in 01, although hard to get much better than Clutch, etc., Sounds like I'm dancing around the ants because I don't know one-year team. It's hard to – but yet – It's the totality of it.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
Actually, we should throw that all out the window and say the following. No team ever even made it back to the Super Bowl, and they've lost one game since Christmas that they played everybody. That's pretty insane. So if you just say that, you don't care if it's 50-3. Yeah.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
I don't think we will. Just because of the way, you know, it's been the longest run, 20 years from New England. We've never waited this long. You know, with the way rosters shift. Like in the 70s, they didn't change. So if you were Pittsburgh, you're also playing Oakland and Miami. But you know what I'm saying. They were very – I don't think we would see it again, at least in my lifetime.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
You guys are young. I mean, you just turned 40. I mean, I have socks older than both of you, okay? It does rain in the basement. It gets wet. You have to back up. But I'm not – of this run – and they haven't beaten Philadelphia yet either, by the way.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
Their defense of this run was the best last year because they had Snead in addition to McDuffie. Although those young ones have gotten better. So when Chris Jones takes three guys. Carl Loftus. Carl Loftus and Leo Chanel.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
It's pretty insane. When you say that. And by the way, Mahomes is 17-3 in the playoffs. It's crazy. Bart Starr was 9-1. Mahomes is next in percentage. Nine and one. He lost the first one, by the way, and won the other nine.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
I don't think Tom is so, wait a minute, nobody's approaching me. I know Tom some. Have I talked to him this year? Really not. But if we'd see each other, we would. Go back to 2001. I think Tom always felt embarrassed that he was put prematurely ahead of Joe Montana, if you just want to say one. But Joe was his hero, right? He grew up in the Bay Area. So Tom lived it from the other side.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
I don't think he's going to be, well, nobody's approaching me. I don't see that in Tom. What would be the purpose? It's a good question. I think what he would say is the kind of stuff that Teddy Bruschi says week in and week out on our morning show was a really good show they had this year. I mean, in my old show, but I have nothing to do with it.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
I mean, I did a few interviews, and I got a piece Sunday on the other eight teams who tried to three-peat him what happened to him. I already did that, but we'll see. Hopefully it runs. I don't know. But I recorded it. But I don't think – The fact that they find a way to win and they expect it to win and maybe the backup left guard also expects, oh, he's in there in the fourth quarter.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
We don't even know if it's going to be Patrick or if it's going to be we're going to block a kick. We expect to win. And we expect the other team maybe to make a mental error somewhere. Somewhere. Change their game plan. A little bit. Just a little, which sometimes, oh, they changed at the last drive. They didn't suspect that they won. Yeah, but every time.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
Look at the championship games against the Chiefs. Buffalo played great. Yeah. That catch with Kincaid, he didn't. Tough play, okay? But another call. Did he make it? Forget it. But did – where was Cook on the last series?
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
I know.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
Again, but I don't want to say how foolish are you. It's not for me to say.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
Yeah.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
It's just it worked out that – We said it. We said it. Baltimore gave up the run pre-Derek Henry last year a little early. Yep. In retrospect, it was only a 10-point game. Yep. A little early. I'm not saying that that makes – Sean or John or their offensive coordinators. I'm not saying it's just, but sometimes we're going to make a change because. And Spags was ready for that. Yeah.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
Which leads us to the thing, and I'm not trying to lead the witness here. I mean, you guys are interviewing me, but...
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
mistakes philly in the playoffs is plus 10 yeah yeah chiefs are actually minus one which doesn't mean anything but took the chiefs all year to get a plus yeah which again defies but you didn't lose any games yeah so philly it comes in i would think pretty darn confident that we're not going to make mistakes no i mean because they have not i mean by the way they've lost one game since october 1st
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
Very good.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
Let me say the biggest thing in the game that obviously, duh, Saquon Barkley plays for the Eagles and he ran for 2,000 yards. Duh.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
Duh, duh, duh. By the way, in the playoffs, 205, one, he averages whatever it is, 6.7 yards a carry. The line, oh, he's hurt the center. No problem. Now, I find this the most intriguing part of this game. Look, Steve Spagnuolo has been around a long time. Andy's been around a long time. They all have a hand in the defensive game plan of the Spags.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
You haven't seen game plans to show back to, not that we're going back to the 40s or the 50s and 60s with Jim Brown or even the running backs, where, ooh, there's a 2,000 or, in Henry's case, 1,900-yard back. It's been 10 years since Adrian Peterson. Somebody's like, whoa.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
Yeah.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
Okay, well, if their quarterback plays great, then God bless you. You're going to beat us. Here's a game plan. It's not, oh, they have a good passing attack, too. They like to go to you. The other team likes to go to you. I get it. But, okay, this is a different – how do you – and they play good running backs. They're running backs that are good, but not this good. Right. With this good a line.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
What kind of game plan are we going to see? And the three of us aren't going to be smart in the way you guys might be. I'm not going to be smart enough on TV or I'll be at the game, but what you at least see –
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
oh they're playing this linebacker to come up and chip i i don't during the game i'm not that smart so but how does it turn out is there a number that you got to keep him to i don't think that's the case like when buffalo beat henry he was under 90 right 85 86 84 or whatever it was so okay
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
But if he gets 120, which, by the way, is not a lot to ask, is that enough to tip it that we haven't made game plans like this? Not with my team. I find that interesting as hell.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
Absolutely.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
Well, he's done it. Had Bill Belichick never been a head coach, which is a big if now, of course, but he already was on that path himself with the Giants game plans against Buffalo. We're going to hammer every receiver, and if Thurman Thomas gets 190 yards, which about he did in about 19 minutes or whenever they had the ball. Yeah. I agree with that. I mean, why can't they? Putter never got in.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
Duh. Ray Guy was great.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
He's now the only one. There's others. There's others, yeah. I agree with that. It's just different from a football, like no one's really, because the running back is like, oh, we remember that running backs are good.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
It's been fun. Yeah. I like it. And, of course, the Eagles love run blocking. Do they pass block right? Now, Hurts threw the ball great that last game. He did. Of course, a lot of short fields they had. I mean, so what? I went back to the Super Bowl two years ago. It doesn't make me a genius. We can all look it up, right? You know, Hurts was, we remember, great that game. It was incredible, yeah.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
He was better than he's played since, right? So the receivers are the same three, right? One caught seven, and I'm going to forget whether that was the Slim Reaper or it was A.J. Brenham. It might have been Smith, Brown, and Goddard. I think it was seven, six, six catching. Supposedly they do that again. Yeah. While Barkley runs for just a pedestrian 110 and Hurts runs a little.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
You know, let's see what happens. Now, what is Fangio? Okay. So Kelsey caught a ton against Houston. If we just look at the playoffs. He had it off your 97 catches. Just stop. Okay? Houston, he caught a ton, right? Yeah. Buffalo, I think two?
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
So where does this go? Is this six? And what are the six? And who then on the Chiefs beats them? And we know what the answer is going to be in a minute. But... What receiver – they're kind of – the way they've evolved this year, especially with, you know, Hollywood out and he's back, but we'll see, you know, Rice out and they were cultivating him.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
And if Kelsey isn't, oh, my God, we can't cover him. And I think Philly's pretty good at all levels.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
So I'll give you a prop. Oh, I like it. Maybe not the first one because we were on it.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
It would be plays inside. Red zone and maybe what they call the inner red zone, or there's another name for it. Okay, you'd be at the 12. Yeah, the goal line, yeah. I mean, that's... DeAndre Hopkins. Because can he get open the way he used to on a 40-yard pattern? Maybe not. He still could. He's DeAndre Hopkins. Still tall with big hands. So what do we see down there from the 12, from the 7?
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
We haven't seen it yet. There's, I think, if that's the sort of game that the Eagles are going to give them kind of, you know, Dink and dunk plays, and the Chiefs are going to trust themselves not to turn it over. Okay, now we're at the seven. We're going to eat three guys on Kelsey. Duh. Right? And then, well, that leaves Hopkins up here.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
A touchdown. Not necessarily a touchdown.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
On the Super Bowl. And Cooper DeGene. By the way, how did Howie Roseman draft the last few years? Yeah. Those two DBs, the kid from Toledo. Mitchell, yeah. Mitchell, and then Carter and the guys up front, either two years ago or three. They've remade that defense. There's not a weak bond trade. But I like where you're going with Goddard, too. He's –
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
They were a better passing offense than they've been in December, you know, with him back, right?
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
That's a good call, especially since— They reminded me after they won there, you know, we never win in New Orleans. I mean, you could look it up. I'm sure they'd won a cup. But he goes, we never win. And the Saints had scored 91 points in two weeks. We barely remember that team, right?
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
Then what happened? Well, they got in their own way.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
But that was a big win. Do you know that – how about this is an interesting one. I just thought of this. The first game of the year was Chiefs, right, in Baltimore, Thursday. Second game of the year was in Brazil, Philly. They're still playing. Yep. They're still playing. Yeah. That's a lot of football. That's a lot of football. It's a long season.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
I like where you went on the touchdown of Goddard.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
I like that. I like our two picks.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
Good hands. They, you know... There's just a lot to see. And then the other thing I would say, back to Spags for a minute. So the blitz that he called that then Josh had to throw, it made it catchable, but he didn't – it was a tough play, right? He didn't – now, McDuffie didn't get through, but that allowed Karloftis to get through.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
Just like the one late in the Super Bowl regulation last year that McDuffie did come through. Purdy had to throw it in the dirt, and they kicked a field goal. Other than, like, maybe go ahead by – and then the Chiefs only got a field goal at the end of the Senate in overtime. It's not the same blitz, but it was – But when is it coming? Yeah. When is it coming? And what is it coming? Yeah.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
You know, Vic doesn't, he doesn't blitz as much. No.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
By the way, as soon as we say that.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
Yeah. He might. Yeah. But he sends one. So that's fine. Because that front, so you send four on the one. It leaves him pretty good coverage. Yeah. I mean, but the reason, okay. So I think the Chiefs win because the guy I call, he likes this, the electric eel. That's Mahomes. When he runs, he slithers. You know what I mean? It's not a run, oh, it's an RPO and we're rolling out with Patrick.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
The two runs against San Francisco after we hurt the ankle, right? The run last year late. By the way, fourth and one. Yeah. You're down by three. You get stopped. See you later. Congratulations, 49ers. Yeah. Not four yards. It wasn't even up. No. And he walked up to the line slowly. And I asked him, so, I mean, did it occur to you that, you know, like the game's over?
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
For example, you even bobbled the snap and you're trying to run behind.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
He's like, no, I knew we had to convert it and we would. Like, really? Like, that's quite an answer.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
It'd be an answer like I would get from Tom or from Joe Montana. Yeah. So, you know, you look at stats, you know, Mahomes six for 42, which is good to win. And it's always... Okay, you got a slither for those five extra yards. Oh, it is a first down, even though it's third and 12. Yeah. He got 14, not eight. And we can now punt him in the corner. Yeah. It is.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
No one looks at him as his running because he's not Lamar.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
Name your guy, right?
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
Now, that being said, Philly's going, you're not giving us our due. Because I think they have the least questions, maybe even less questions than the Chiefs of any team in football.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
Well, the score that I'm going to print, but for your show, I'm changing it.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
what what is that score and then i'd see the little arrow next to it and that's like oh okay point spreads okay this makes sense oh like 80 the rams were playing brett farm i had like 85 82 yeah but somebody covered i had the arrow you know like what is he an idiot well 22 18 i'm telling you a lot of points okay yeah right don't get so literal or three to two i used once a long time ago
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
Right, a running ninth. So you'll see in print, because I wrote a thing, but it won't be out until Friday. This show will probably run before. So you'll see 2724 Kansas City. You'll see it. But for this show, we're going to go. Because if you have these squares, you're upset, really. 29-26, right? Same spread. Oh, I like it. You know, 29-26 Chiefs. I somehow think it's a little high. Yeah.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
But they're going to be upper 20s. How do we get there?
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
I'm walking up here to do this show. I said, I can't give them 27-25.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
29-26. So if it's 29, yeah, you go for two ones, but that's four touchdowns? Yeah. Now... Elliott has missed some extra points in the Super Bowl. He's a very good kicker. A lot of the good kickers had bad years. Not only Tucker.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
But he's made all the field goals, but he's missed three extra – maybe that's – and they have to go for –
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
The best bet, I think I told you this, I don't bet anymore. I mean, a long time ago, that's 40 years. But Swami is all for fun. True. But first mortgage payment, I decided, no, you're not doing this anymore. That was early 80s. You get a little baby, whatever. But I can still root at any rate. I'm in the hotel, the Seahawks versus Denver and New York. It's like Thursday.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
And there happened to be a lot of Seahawks fans, and they know that I like them. But I picked them for the Super Bowl that year. I mean, you know, and, oh, we know you like us. They're wearing the hats in great colors. Guy goes, well, I made two bets, the kind of wild ones. I might have told you guys this.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
I said, okay, what are you, because at that point, you're not, 10 years ago, it's not as, I'm sorry, prevalent as all the things you can bet. Now, even though they existed, right? First score, a safety. And whatever those odds were, like. And sure enough, the ball went over Peyton's head with 2-0.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
It was not fun. I didn't cheer once. Griffey hit a two-run homer right out of the gates for Seattle. Didn't cheer once. Then the other one was, okay. He said, I also bet. Here's the odds on Denver. Remember they scored 600 and whatever points, right? To win by 20 or more, it could have been 21, but 20 or more, what were those odds? The team scored 600 points.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
I put money on the Seahawks to win by 20 or more. Ooh, now let me think about your question. Okay, let me think how that could happen. Denver's going to get no points. I mean, you know, 14. Okay, let me think about this. They're going to return an interception. There's going to be a safety, which is only two. Yeah, yeah. I never met this guy. He was in the lobby of a hotel.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
He had a Seahawks ski hat on. I'm sure he was happy. He had a lot of money. Safety and Seahawks by 20. It was a pretty big odds that they were going to roll the Bronco.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
I was like, okay, that almost stuck in my mind. So to your point, okay, how do we get to 29 or 26? Yeah. I don't know. I mean, I don't know. I'm going to bet the exact score now. I have to. I have to.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
You're the swamp. You'll see it. I gave 27-20, but for this show, and you're on Goddard, for any score or first score?
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
And they've already – the Chiefs have doinked. Yeah. Right? Yeah. I mean, so they should be good for no doinks. I would hope so. I would hope so.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
Oh, well, it means they're kicking extra points.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
Okay, so I didn't know. Well, I'm not surprising. I mean, I'm not saying he's going to have a bad. We thought Moody, you know, rookie kicker, he's kicking 57 yards or so. No doinks. Is that the same thing?
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
So you've got to hit 10 in a row and say you've made money. That's one way to look at it.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
You're going to win this year. I like it. I want to keep that in mind when I watch it. Here's another stat. It has nothing to do with my pick. Because if Philly wins, I will not be surprised. I mean, I think the Chiefs are going to win because Coach Reed and Patrick Mahomes. It's not the magic thing.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
It's just when you've won this many ways and you're confident that we're going to not all going to figure it out, then you've lost. But, like, no, something's going to happen. The kid – The Remigio, the returns a kick, you know, Tony two years ago with the punt. Like, you just, so special teams. Something odd is going to happen. Here's an interesting number.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
And again, this is no reflection on Nick Fangio, Nick, Nick Fangio, who's a great defensive coordinator and put his pelts up there. Against the Chiefs, 0-9.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
Now, six were head coach Denver. Yep. They weren't good.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
Miami last year, too. And he was brought in as the consultant in the Super Bowl two years ago, which I forgot.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
Oh.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
He wasn't the coordinator. Again, this is not okay run because they're 0-9. Nothing. It's just... By the way, you think he's sick and tired of that? Yeah. So maybe he does dial stuff that he doesn't normally dial at a point in the game that's just the right point. One other thought.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
Don't you think that Fox or whoever's doing the game, which is Fox, you know, we've all invented the line, you know, for the first down line. But for the Eagles, you should only have it nine yards.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
Seriously.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
You have to have a green line. Seriously. Right? Just have it because third and fourth and one, they should already be on the line.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
Yeah, it's absolutely true.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
When I heard it, I was like, still got it. I didn't do it to be, again, American history, so there you go. Yes, there it is. I was alive. I was young. I was seven. I mean, I didn't, you know, Kennedy, Castro. I mean, the Chuba Missile Crisis.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
Quietly, the year before, but he didn't have the year like he did this year, you know, and then they won some games and they upset a couple teams late in the year so you could use it. The one that I still had, it was like, it came to my head in like eight seconds. Not while I'm doing it live, but the Chuba. Yeah, it's right there. The Chuba Missile Crisis.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
And that's the way they used to come when I was young and had a brain. You know, like in the 80s and 90s. So you still got it. No, you still have it.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
That's vintage. Everybody hits the green every now and then from 150, okay?
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
You can. You can still find it. Well, not as much as you guys do on your ode to me. I mean, I'll tell you where. I don't know if this was last year or this just happened this year. So I may have told you about it, but we didn't do it on the show. I don't read Twitter. I don't even know how to go, you know, whatever. But sometimes this stuff flows to me, and I see it.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
Can you believe Chris Berman is ripping off those two guys? I've read it just a few times.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
No, and they want your take on it, obviously. Mount Rushmore is not easy. As a matter of fact, I went to the Seattle camp this summer. I'm close with the Seahawks. I like them. They had a nice year. Coach McDonald will be good. They're going to be okay. So – They asked me for their in-house, and I think they put it on somewhere. I don't know. Like, I really wouldn't prepare.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
Like, who are the Mount Rushmore for the Seahawks? I went, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. How about Mount Rainier? Can we go with Mount Rainier, please? And I went, whoa, that's good. You know, and then I gave them the Steve Largent, you know, Supreme Cortez Kennedy, and Big Walt Jones, and whoever else I, you know, whoever else I said. But... No, that's yours. Take it.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
Even though, you know, they haven't put a new one up there since Teddy Roosevelt. Yeah. Well, there's some. Never mind. There's some rumbling that I don't even want to go there. I don't want to give it any. Jimmy Carter?
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
Somebody who's in now. Mount Rushmore. Mount Rushmore.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
No, no, no, no, no. I do primetime after the Super Bowl. So you'll see me, like we did championship game on ESPN, the regular. And it's just interesting. People go, oh, my God. No, I've been doing primetime for like six years now on ESPN+. I understand it's $12.99 a month or whatever it is. I make no money off it.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
Well, I don't know if I'm one.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
He's a big-time AWL. I'm good. How are you? I'm on stage at the Boston Garden. I mean, you remember that?
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
Don't ever let the facts get in the way of a good story.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
2016, that's exactly what you were saying to me earlier. Hey, if you fly out to L.A., hey, what happened to the telephone? Can I just do it on the phone? I know. But my kids are in L.A., so it'll happen. It'll happen. My kids with little grandsons, they're out there.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
No close second.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
However, what's your take on it?
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
You know. I mean, some of the Patriot teams won by 50 all the time, but when you win in the odd ways.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
Mm-hmm.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
Whoa, whoa, whoa. He can wait for me. I don't want to steal yours this is you one thing so on you were still kind of relatively unknown it was Boston after the marathon thing yeah thing right awful yeah awful and Boston Garden had what Masters Court Garden did like after you know 9-11 And all the great, you know, Stephen Tyler, James Taylor. Backstreet Boys.
