We are. I thought you were talking about the Pro Bowl games this weekend. We're not going to preview any of those. Can I ask you a question? And this is something we should very much know as a football podcast. One of the biggest in America. Nominated for the Sports Podcast Awards every year for Best Football Podcast. Stiff competition this year.

0
💬 0

198.351 - 215.683 Billy

Anywho, here's my question because we should know this. How the hell do the Pro Bowl games work? Is there an actual game this week or no? Because they've changed it so many times in a different city, sometimes here, sometimes there. I have no idea if they're playing a football game this weekend. They are. Everybody's gathered together.

0
💬 0

216.063 - 229.336 Billy

I know there used to be a drone drop and the likes of that, and I think they got rid of that, but there's best catch. I probably should have looked this up before we just started talking about it, but there's a big one this weekend, I think. I don't think it's a game.

0
💬 0

229.356 - 234.94 Stugatz

I think it's a series of skills competitions. I think that there's a flag football component, isn't it?

235 - 236.502 Mike

It culminates in a flag football game.

It's not?

239.484 - 245.028 Mike

No, but there's a tug of war. There's a quarterback contest that has a trivia component to it.

Trivia? Wait, what? Trivia?

We've gone too far.

0
💬 0

251.833 - 266.27 Mike

Yeah. Yes. The quarterback has 30 seconds to throw at targets, but gets 10 seconds added if one of his teammates, now actual teammates, so like CJ Stroud and Nico Collins are doing it. I know that for the AFC.

266.33 - 267.131 Billy

This sounds like field day.

So if Nico Collins gets something right in the trivia, he gets 10 more seconds.

271.676 - 283.645 Billy

This is – hold on a second. Hold on a second. This is very much – Thursday night at the local pub? I mean, what are we doing? No, Fuentes told me, and he's exactly right, this sounds like field day at school is what this is.

Exactly.

In my field day, it was red versus blue, and purple always won.

293.613 - 305.895 Billy

Why are we doing – I don't like that at all. Purple always won. Red versus blue. There was no winners. What was even the point of it? I mean, I guess you could argue what's the point of the Pro Bowl? Well, yes. J.J.

Josh Allen is not going to the Pro Bowl, and by the time they got down to the alternate, I believe Russell Wilson is going.

0
💬 0

330.051 - 353.107 Billy

I saw somewhere, I think that it was Pat McAfee was saying it, that if you are a Pro Bowl alternate, so you are selected now because everybody's backed out or whatever, and you make it to the Pro Bowl as an alternate, you don't get contractual Pro Bowl bonuses. You need to be on the first batch of Pro Bowl selections to earn Pro Bowl money.

0
💬 0

353.627 - 375.766 Billy

If not, and you have in your contract making a Pro Bowl as a bonus, if you're added as an alternate after 600 people have said no, you don't get that in your contract, which seems crazy to me. It does. It seems like a terrible job by the agent. Well, I mean, I guess also, like, by the end, every single person in the NFL has made the Pro Bowl because so many people back out every year.

0
💬 0

375.787 - 382.709 Billy

But that was pre-trivia. I have some sad news for you guys. Sad news? Yes, sad news as we're covering the Pro Bowl.

0

382.729 - 385.09 Stugatz

Something sadder than the football season ending?

0
💬 0

385.19 - 406.55 Billy

Well, yeah, so... Turns out last night, Thursday night, was a skills showdown for the Pro Bowl, so we missed that. But good news is Sunday, Pro Bowl Games Championship. So 3-6, you can watch that on ESPN Network, Family of Networks, ESPN, ABC, Disney XD, all of those. They're going to have all of that stuff.

0
💬 0

407.33 - 418.158 Stugatz

Let's be honest, before they installed trivia into the proceedings, it never really was a football game. They were never playing a football game Pro Bowl weekend, though. It was two-hand touch.

0
💬 0

419.018 - 432.847 Billy

No. There was players. There was players that were out there laying hits. Sean Taylor was knocking punters out. It was not two-hand touch. Sean Taylor made sure to play every Pro Bowl that he could.

0
💬 0

432.867 - 441.433 Stugatz

But it's been a long time since Sean Taylor's been with us. God rest his soul. May he rest in peace. But since then, give me someone else. You name one name.

441.793 - 461.776 Billy

Can I say what I think the downfall of the Pro Bowl was and Hey, Super Bowl's coming up. We'll get to that a little bit later. Can I say what I think the downfall of the Pro Bowl was? And I don't know why this happened. And I think that it also leads to why so many people back out. Maybe not. When we moved the Pro Bowl out of Hawaii, it just felt different. You know what I mean?

0
💬 0

461.916 - 472.804 Billy

Every year it was Hawaii. It was like, you know what? I'm going to go. I'm going to bring all my family and hangers on, and I'm going to spend my entire annual salary in getting all of my friends and family to go see me participate in the Pro Bowl.

0
💬 0

473.505 - 476.287 Stugatz

Hawaii was incentive enough for these guys to want to go.

0
💬 0

476.327 - 501.769 Billy

Well, then they started making it cute, and it's like, let's go to Orlando. Let's go to Las Vegas. Let's go to— Let's go to Disney. Exactly, wherever. And it's like, guys— No one wants to, respectfully, respectfully, to the great city of Orlando. No one wants to go to Orlando for the Pro Bowl. You're going to go to Central Florida before the option was Hawaii, like Honolulu or Kissimmee, Florida.

0

Like, come on. What do we think is going to happen here?

You have to build up to Orlando. You don't build down to Orlando.

Once Hawaii is there, you can't scale back to Orlando. You know what I mean?

Once you've reached Hawaii, there's no turning back.

0
💬 0

514.517 - 523.363 Billy

There's no turning back. And that's really, if you ask me, one uneducated person on the circumstances here, that's what killed the Pro Bowl.

0
💬 0

523.939 - 540.105 Mike

How many jobs did the NFL save in their budget by downgrading from Hawaii to Orlando? Like you don't have to buy round trip airfare or nothing for any of that stuff. Now, guess what guys, everybody's going to keep their job, but you're not going to Hawaii. You're going to Orlando.

0
💬 0

540.185 - 565.798 Billy

You know what? I wonder if the players union played a role in this because so many players were like, guys, we got to get out of Hawaii. Like I cannot say no to my mother-in-law and my cousins and everyone else. And like, One selection to the Pro Bowl is costing me $400,000 by the time my entire family makes it there. And I just, I cannot afford to go to the Pro Bowl anymore. I'm throwing games.

0
💬 0

566.318 - 587.869 Billy

I'm not playing well. I don't want to be selected. Because if I'm selected, I can't tell them, no, we're not going to Hawaii. I can't not accept it. I have to accept it. I can get an Airbnb in Orlando, one of those houses with eight bedrooms. It has the Disney princess theme, the arcade and a garage, the pool table, all of that stuff. There's a Harry Potter room with bunk beds for all the kids.

0
💬 0

587.929 - 612.203 Billy

I can pull that if we get that. We can move to Orlando. I can fit 15 people in one house for a week. That's fine. Or I can very much again, I can convince them we don't need to go to Celebration, Florida for a week. You know what I mean? Like we can go somewhere else. Let's go to Atlantis in the Bahamas. Still cheaper than going to Hawaii with 600 people. That's too nice, Billy.

You know what I mean?

612.663 - 620.468 Stugatz

That's too nice. Too many people are going to want to go. I think you're right on Orlando. I think they got together and they said, let's pick a city where no one wants to go.

0
💬 0

620.988 - 635.82 Billy

Well, not that no one wants to go, but let's pick a city where we can very easily convince people, maybe we take this year off. Maybe it's not the biggest deal in the world.

0
💬 0

635.84 - 640.845 Stugatz

We're not going to go to Orlando, but we're also not going to Hawaii, and you take your family somewhere in between.

0
💬 0

641.025 - 662.201 Billy

Yeah, that's what I'm saying. You can skip it, and then you just go on a family vacation, but then it's also like, Well, you know, we don't take our cousins on a family vacation. We don't take our aunts and uncles on a family vacation. That's not necessary. We don't need to do all of that, right? So then that's how you also – I'm pretty sure the Players Union was involved.

714.123 - 730.608 Billy

Yeah, yeah. And then also you could say like, hey, like – He could go to Orlando for the week and go to Disney. It's going to be busy, though, and we don't want to go at busy time. Why don't we just go to, like, let's go to Mexico together. You know what I mean? And then that's how you go somewhere. Let's go to Costa Rica. You go somewhere else. Like, let's go to the Maldives.

0
💬 0

730.908 - 748.465 Billy

You go somewhere else just as, like, your family, like five people, and then everyone's like, well, you know what? They opted not to go to the Pro Bowl. Like, I get it. It was a long year. James is probably beat up. James doesn't want to go and play ring toss or whatever it is that's going on this year. By the way, Stugatz, Mike Ye, also – presented by Smirnoff. We do game days.

Please drink responsibly. The Smirnoff Company, New York, New York. This has been described by many people who are attending as the walking Super Bowl because of the proximity that everything is.

As you get older, you don't actually get injuries from doing real things. You just misstep off a curb. You step in a hole, whatever. And this one, I felt it. I felt, I don't want to say a tear or a pop, but I felt... Something went, this isn't like, you know, oops.

No, I felt a clear when it happened. And I, so I went, I dropped my daughter off at school. I went, I dropped the other daughter off at school. I got home and I was like, I'm wrapping this thing as hard as I can. I got to keep moving. As soon as I stopped moving, this is done. So then I went, I didn't have an ankle brace. So I went, I got a green ace bandage wrapped around as hard as you could.

832.578 - 850.869 Billy

I then stopped by, got an ice pack, just slid that in there, drove into work. As soon as I parked and I was walking across the street, oh, boy, I felt it. And I know as the day goes on, I'm going to feel it because I still haven't taken, like, an anti-inflammatory or anything. So this sucker is swelling, and this ice pack is hot now. It's going to be a fun week next week. So what are you thinking?

I've never covered one there, but I'll be interested to get Golik's thoughts because you know Golik loves food. That means he loves New Orleans because New Orleans is known for its food.

It has to be up there, right? As far as food city and as far as hosting a big event, it's right at number one. Because again, when the media or we all descend on an event, it's not about the event. You know this, Stu. It's about how does it affect us? How does it affect our week? Do we have to get in a car? Can we walk? How convenient is where we have to go? And New Orleans is all walkable.

You don't have to get, I mean, I'm, I'm staying in a hotel that's connected to the convention center. So every day I just walk down a hallway, radio row, do the show. And I'm about a 15, 20 minute walk to the quarter to go get all the food that I want to the events that I'm going to go to. It is so convenient. That's why it's a top the list and the food is out of this world.

And with the French Quarter, you can go to an established place like Brennan's, which everybody's going to try and go to. Or for me, man, I like little holes in the wall, little dive places where you can just sit and have a beer or two. and have some nice gumbo or something, you know, and call it a day. You know, I'm past the point of staying out late.

I don't know about smelling, but the worst to get into and out of is a buffalo. It's tough to get in and out of, and obviously the weather can be awful as well. So that's probably a place that I'm not all that hyped up to go, even though it's a great team to go watch play. It's just, it's tough to get in and out of.

No, I appreciate the greatness because in this day and age of football where a team can turn over so quickly. They've kept their core together, and they've filled in spots every year, and they continue to win. So I'm one of those that appreciates greatness.

I don't think, and he gets talked about a lot, but I don't think Andy Reid gets talked about enough. We talk about Mahomes. He's a Hall of Famer already. Travis Kelsey, a Hall of Famer. What the Chiefs are doing. But Andy Reid, not Bill Belichick. Andy Reid is going to end up the all-time winning of playoff games. He's only a couple away from Belichick.

And I think he's at 301 and Shula's at 347. That's four years of 12-win years. which I think he can do. So I think it's Andy Reid that's going to hold all the victory records as far as head coaches are concerned. I don't know if he'll equal Belichick in Super Bowls, but I think he'll pass him in postseason wins and pass Don Shula in wins.

Wow, that's a, I mean, listen, you have to go by results, right? And I mean, that would be a pretty good stamp on his resume. I don't know if anybody will ever consider him that, but he can hold up the sheet that said, look what I've done. I mean, he'll have that on his side.

I mean, is it unreal? I mean, how many games into the season this year we were talking about his longevity being an Eagles coach?

I mean, this is a team.

But listen, Jalen not happy with the passing game. Listen to what Pat Mahomes said after they won the Super Bowl back-to-back. He said he wasn't satisfied with the way the offense played, right? That the defense was playing better and he wanted that offense to get back to the powerful offense. I get it from a quarterback standpoint. You want to be a high-flying offense.

1624.702 - 1642.193 Stugatz

Yeah, it is. It's a great offensive line. Mike, it's such a fascinating game from this standpoint. I think you would take... You would take the Eagles offensive line, defensive line, linebackers, probably secondary. You would take everything Philadelphia except the coach and the quarterback.

1642.873 - 1666.276 Mike

Yeah, yeah. And listen, like I picked Buffalo against Kansas City, I'm going to pick Philadelphia. against Kansas City. I think Philly is overall the better team, save for, like you said, the coach, which the play calls that Andy Reid pulls out, the roll right to get a first down on the last drive, and then that third and seventh

0
💬 0

1667.045 - 1697.408 Mike

where he had motioned trips to the left so Pat Mahomes could tell it was man coverage. Then all three receivers ran crossing routes, and Samaje Pirine ran out to the left, and the man covering him just got caught up in a six-person wash. And Pirine was wide open to catch the ball and run for the first down. That's just incredible by Andy. But I just, man, I like the Eagles.

I mean, wow. I mean, it really is something else. I mean, but Spagnuolo's already a D coordinator with the most Super Bowl rings. He can add a fifth. He can add a fifth as a D coordinator.

It's amazing how people tell other, when Jerry Rice wasn't going to be with the 49ers, don't go to another team, retire. Tim Brown, not with the Raiders, don't go to another team, retire. How the hell do you tell people to retire if they still want to A, coach, or B, play, if they still have the want to to do the work in the offseason? Because that's why players retire.

1832.128 - 1853.04 Mike

They don't want to do what's necessary from February to August to prepare for the season. They just don't want to do it, and they know they have to be prepared. But if you're willing to put in the work, why the hell wouldn't it? Look at Pete Carroll. He's 74. Andy Reid's 66. Andy Reid has more than a few years left in coaching, as long as he wants to. Same with Travis Kelsey.

0

1907.678 - 1934.691 Mike

He didn't turn the ball over this year like he has in the past. You literally have to keep the ball out of Pat Mahomes' hand on the last drive. whether it's A, to score points, or B, get a first down to run the clock out. Because you know Andy Reid is going to go for it. Andy Reid isn't going to run the ball three times and punt. Andy Reid is going to try and keep possession of the ball

0
💬 0

1935.598 - 1955.949 Mike

Because that's the way Andy Reid works. And you have a quarterback in Pat Mahomes that can get it done. So, no, I don't feel bad. I mean, I don't. You just got caught in the wrong air. Not to say that it can't happen next year for Josh. But, man, it's got to be mentally tough. physically guys are all prepared to play.

0

1956.269 - 1967.962 Mike

Exactly. I mean, you had a stint, obviously, as a head coach. I get it with what the Rams from 2009 to 2011, I think it was. So you have a bit of history there. But I do think it would be stunning, I guess I would say, if he doesn't get a shot again. If, in fact, he wants a shot again and he's, what, 65 years old. So who knows?

You told us a couple weeks back that you would not be coming down to see them at Hard Rock Stadium because of the bad memories that you had from when Notre Dame lost the national championship to Alabama down here in Miami.

And then Notre Dame made it a one-score game in the fourth quarter, made it somewhat exciting. So, no, that was only because it was just an absolute destruction in Miami.

The issue with me and Notre Dame is all the players they're losing. A couple of wide receivers in the portal, three offensive linemen, their defensive coordinator, Al Golden, going to the Bengals. Now, they did sign Chris Ashe, who has been a D coordinator for more than a few big-time teams. But their GM... Obviously, every team has a GM now went from Notre Dame to USC, so they need a new GM.

I don't know if his body would have held up. I mean, that's the one he can always lean on.

Well, I think my point is he's happy either way. If the Eagles win, it's his former team winning. If the Chiefs win, it's his brother winning. To your point, yes, I do think he should be, and he can root for who he wants. He's his own man. But I would be rooting for my brother at this point. Blood is thicker than the team I played for.

Mike, what I was going to ask you was, can you tell us as a former defensive player, just because I don't think we really know what we're watching every Sunday because we just pay attention to the quarterbacks and not interior play, what makes Steve Spagnuolo so great at his job?

Yes.

2407.635 - 2433.527 Mike

Right? I mean, he was kind of saving that. And it's something you can do on the defensive side. You can save stuff. Not as much on the offensive side. But the defensive side, you can save stuff. And he gave Josh Allen a zone look. Right? Gave him a safety, a deep zone look. Right. And he kind of had it a little bit overloaded to Josh's left. So Josh slid left. He had the line slide left.

0
💬 0

2434.227 - 2448.23 Mike

And sure enough, the cornerback blitzes from Josh's right. And he and Karloftis come free and force, you know, the Hail Mary, which, by the way, I mean, should have been caught. Right. Should have been caught. But...

0
💬 0

2448.974 - 2475.928 Mike

regardless he he and and that's what you see today in blitzes you either overload with more guys rushing than offensive linemen and and running backs to block or you try and confuse to where you're not bringing more rushers than the offense has to block but you fooled them into calling the wrong protection and you have free rushers and that's exactly what spagnuolo did

0
💬 0

2476.548 - 2499.325 Mike

He confused them, called the protection to slide left, and what you have to have is players who can disguise because you'll see before a play a quarterback give a hard count or in college they'll clap their hands thinking that's going to go to try and have the defense give up what they're going to do, right? Have a guy step out of position. Oh, he's coming. He's backing off.

0
💬 0

2499.626 - 2519.797 Mike

So try and give them a read. Give credit to the players on Kansas City for disguising, for not giving it up, for that cornerback not showing that he was going to blitz until the ball was snapped. So it's a combination of trying to fool the offense and then having your disguised guys not give away what they're going to do.

No, there's one person that wouldn't like it, and we need to figure out a strategy for next week in terms of picking the Super Bowl because essentially...

But if you've been following along our guest picking segment, that's locked up. That has not been determined. Or it basically has been determined. And there's only one game left. So people aren't within one game of each other. So we already essentially know our champion. Unless...

2652.574 - 2671.109 Billy

We get creative, which is why I think maybe next week what we should do is I think that we should have everybody pick the games but have Kay Funk come in because he's so far behind everyone else and just have him pick his own prop bets to give himself a chance to get back in this situation. What do you guys think?

0

You're saying these prop bets are exclusive to Kay Funk? He's the only one who has a chance to pick them?

0
💬 0

2675.786 - 2692.791 Billy

I think we extend him the courtesy of also letting him pick whichever ones he wants. And that is honestly just for time's sake, because if we go there and we go back and forth, he's going to complain about how the line's going to move and this and that, and he's going to take 10 minutes to pick an over-under on receptions for the third wide receiver for one of the teams.

I'd go to my aunt's house, and she bought the square game at Party City. And you just go, and you write your name in a square. You don't even pay. And then at the end, you get one of those brown paper bags with a ribbon from Party City that says, first place, or whatever, and some candy, like Tootsie Rolls. $2,000 a square. Yeah.

3101.03 - 3120.992 Billy

Then the fantasy championship happens. Mike Fuentes wins, and he goes, everybody owes me $10. That was the buy-in for the league. And we're like, what buy-in was this? I'm fine with giving you the $10, but this was never discussed before you won. There was a draft. No one ever at any point.

0

3121.408 - 3134.391 Billy

At least 50% of the league is like, this was never mentioned until you won, and now you're just asking everyone for $10. I got to tell you, that's a heady play by Fuentes. He's waving his hand saying, no, that's not the case. And I was perfectly fine.

I was perfectly fine to send him the money on Venmo until multiple people came up to me. They're like, did you know that we were supposed to send Mike Fuentes $10? And I was like... No, I was going to. I assumed everybody knew. They're like, no, I think he just made this up. Like, none of us are familiar with this scenario. And a lot of the people sent him money because they didn't ask around.

0

3154.566 - 3170.124 Billy

But like, now it's more of a principal thing. And I forgot until right now when we mentioned it. So I'm probably sending it to him after this because I don't want to be like the guy that doesn't send it to him. But I'm pretty positive that he just decided that he won and everyone needed to send him $10. No one's paying attention. It's a heady play.

3170.204 - 3176.871 Billy

I think what happens there, right, is that you go and then, like, this person just sends everyone out. Like, he waits until after, like, one of the quarters, and then he just sends everyone different numbers. So no one actually has the winning thing, right? Like, he takes a picture of all the names. And there's no numbers filled out. And then he will send it so that no one wins the first quarter.

Right. And then if anyone happens to win any of the other numbers, the other quarters, then he'll like figure it out. But I think he just waits until after the game. And you think like, oh, look, like John actually won the first quarter. And John is like, oh, well, you know, Larry won the first quarter. And Larry's like, well, Mike won the first quarter.

Billy, now what you do is you make up a whole bunch of names except for like two people who you get to give you $2,000. And you walk away with $4,000. Hey, Jim S. won.

Some sort of super bowl box scheme, getting him to buy in. And then like we can we can have him pick it. We can send him a real thing, but it's all just other made up people. And then on the off chance he wins, he just wins his own money back.

I do like we have him fill it out, and we send him a copy of it, and it has all of the numbers, and he thinks he has these boxes, and we're like, oh, guys, sorry, we updated it. And then we send it, and Mojo has all of his boxes instead of him. You know what I mean? Or whatever wins, Mojo's in those boxes instead of K-Funk.

You send him the picture of the boxes, and there's two K-Funk boxes, and the rest say Mojo.

I like that. Here's the other thing, by the way. When we say stuff like this, people assume that we're intentionally out to get him, and that's why he had a bad season, and he fully believes that. We have done very little to actually get him throughout the season. Almost nothing to get him. I mean, don't get me wrong. He's done this all on his own. He's bad at picking games.

We have done nothing to screw this guy over the entire year, but he's so convinced that we are. He's just terrible at picking. And even when he picks a winner, he changes it five minutes later into a loser. That lashes out at us.

A new year is a perfect time for friends, family, and a great-tasting light beer tastes like Miller time. You know, we were discussing the Baseball Hall of Fame this past week, and let me tell you something. Ichiro, not a first ballot guy. CeCe Sabathia, not a first ballot guy. Ichiro, 70 some odd percent of his hits are singles. How about you sprinkle in a double?
