00:00All right.
00:01Here we go, boys.
00:02Unfortunately, even though the Lions did not make it to the Super Bowl, we're going to
00:05do a Super Bowl week version of this.
00:07All right.
00:08Let's go.
00:09All right.
00:10Here we go.
00:11Question number one.
00:12Tonight, we will find out whether Eli Manning will be inducted into the next class of Hall
00:15of Fame players.
00:16Is he a Hall of Famer?
00:17So 11th on the all-time career passing list in terms of yards.
00:21He's got two Super Bowl wins over the GOAT, Tom Brady, where he was the MVP of both games.
00:26He also quarterbacked two teams to the Super Bowl in an era where he was dealing with
00:30Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, Drew Brees, Aaron Rodgers, to maybe a lesser extent, Ben Roethlisberger,
00:36Phil Rivers, Matt Ryan, Pete Russell-Wilson, and he quarterbacked two Super Bowl champions
00:41where he was the MVP.
00:43That's enough for me.
00:44Far at the beginning, yeah.
00:46That's enough for me too.
00:47I'm in.
00:48He said he belongs.
00:49I think 100% he belongs.
00:50I guess the real question is, is he a first ballot Hall of Famer?
00:54You'd have to look at all the players eligible for it, but yeah, I think he gets a bad rap.
00:59Some of it deservedly so.
01:00I mean, he threw a ton of interceptions in his career, like a ton, which kept his overall
01:05quarterback rating down.
01:07That's a thing.
01:08You look at him as a career 84 quarterback rating, doesn't look all that good, but he's
01:12top 10 in every passing category there is with touchdowns and completions and yards
01:16passing.
01:17Oh, by the way, two-time Super Bowl champ, and I'm not sure what more he was supposed
01:22to do to earn credentials of being a Hall of Famer.
01:25Who was he throwing to?
01:27Victor Cruz?
01:28I mean, you know, this guy was pretty prolific at the time.
01:32I think he deserves to be a Hall of Famer.
01:33By the way, he was sacked 20 times during those two Super Bowl runs they had, 20 times
01:40in eight games.
01:41That's a lot of times.
01:43Yeah.
01:44All those stats that the yardage and touchdowns, all that stuff, that might be attributed to
01:47him just playing for so long.
01:50Because his actual record, regular season, was literally mid, 117 and 117, which is actually
01:56kind of funny.
01:57But with that being said, I do think he is a Hall of Famer, and it's based on his playoff
02:01record and playoff, just what he's done in the playoffs.
02:04You mentioned the two Super Bowl MVPs, one of those was against an undefeated Patriots
02:10team, not just the GOAT, but that team was the greatest team we thought we'd ever seen.
02:14And Eli Manning was the guy who, you know, part of the guy who beat him and won the MVP.
02:20So like I said, based on his playoffs alone, I think, his playoff record was 8-4, two Super
02:25Bowl MVPs, two Super Bowl wins, beat the GOAT, undefeated Patriots team.
02:30I think that alone gets him in the first ballot.
02:35All right, question number two, apparently the NFLPA executive director has come out
02:39and said that no one wants to play 18 regular season games.
02:45According to him and the players he represents.
02:47Do you believe him and the players?
02:49Sure, for now.
02:51I mean, they don't really have to make a decision on this until 2031, I think, is when the CBA
02:56expires.
02:57And Goodell says they're not going to address it until that happens.
02:59It's what he says, too.
03:00I'll take him at the word at this point, but a lot can happen between now and then.
03:05You don't know how much money is going to be bandied about and being offered to the
03:07players if they were to expand to 18 games.
03:10But that seems like it's a long way away.
03:12We're talking at least five years.
03:16I don't believe him.
03:18I think this is classic negotiating.
03:20I think it's another way of saying, show us the money.
03:23And you know, my grandfather had a saying he brought from the old country.
03:27Everything has its price.
03:29And I think that's the message here.
03:31Everything has its price.
03:32I didn't realize Doug was related to the million dollar man, Ted DiBiase.
03:34Yeah, that was his line, too.
03:35I don't even know who that is.
03:37Yeah, sure you don't.
03:38It's your grandfather.
03:39Doug, I actually agree with you, though.
03:41Yeah, I don't believe them.
03:42I think 18 games is inevitable.
03:44They are just playing their cards right now.
03:46Yes, they have until 2030, but they can make a deal before 2030 if they come to an agreement
03:51on money, because that's in the end what it's all about.
03:54They didn't want to play 17 games either, guys.
03:56How many games are on the schedule right now?
03:5817.
03:59Yeah, somehow money played a role into getting them that extra game.
04:02And the NFL wants this.
04:04And what the NFL wants, they get.
04:05They're putting out numbers right now.
04:07And personally, in my opinion, I don't really believe all of them that concussions are down,
04:11injuries are down.
04:12You know why they're saying this?
04:13Because they want to add an extra game.
04:15You don't say injuries are up and concussions are up if you're trying to add an extra game.
04:19So this is inevitable.
04:20There will be an 18-game regular season at some point, and the players will be compensated
04:24for it.
04:25There will be two bye weeks.
04:26We'll get rid of them on the preseason games.
04:27All right, Goodell said this week that he thinks that someday technology will be able
04:33to spot the ball.
04:34That technology will exist.
04:36Is this something you want if and when it's available?
04:40Well, maybe.
04:41The idea of a hybrid system I could see working.
04:44What I can't see is that the entire field gets chipped and that every part of the human
04:49body gets chipped.
04:51Because how do you determine when a player is down?
04:54That is some technology that is above and beyond what I can even envision happening.
04:59But if you have a system where you can determine through video when a player is technically
05:04down and exactly where the football is, I don't mind seeing that because that feels
05:10like it is something that they could define as best as possible is a hybrid system where
05:18the human eye determines when the player is down and the chips in the football can determine
05:23where it should be spotted.
05:24On behalf of the Bills Mafia, let's get this done as soon as possible.
05:29Look, I think this is a lot like the strike zone of Major League Baseball.
05:33When you bring the human element into it, umpires get it way wrong so many times, like
05:37way outside of the strike zone.
05:39If you had it honed in, let's just do it as best we can.
05:43Even if you had the chip system, are you going to get it right 100% of the time?
05:46No.
05:47But you know what you're going to eliminate?
05:48All the egregiously bad decisions made by the officials on the field that spot it incorrectly.
05:54And then you get the call stands when they go to review and stuff like that instead of
05:57just get it right.
05:59They can get it right with technology.
06:01Go ahead and do it.
06:02If not, well, start worrying about the play clock.
06:04I actually don't think they should do this when and if available.
06:07I actually, I do like replay and I do like the advancements in technology to help make
06:11the game better and more accurate.
06:13But I do think that there should always be a human element involved and that is just
06:18part of sports.
06:19I think in football, I think part of the human element is spotting the ball.
06:22It is ridiculous when you say it out loud, like there's billions and billions of dollars
06:27into this sport and we have 65 year old men running from the sidelines thinking where
06:32the ball stopped and landed.
06:33Like, yeah, I get it.
06:34But to me, sports is changing too rapidly and I think it's for the worst and for the
06:40most part.
06:41I want to keep this part of it in there for myself.
06:42Sounds like Keng's part of that conspiracy.
06:44I'm open to it now.
06:47Who got to you?
06:48All right.
06:49Yeah, exactly.
06:50If the Chiefs win the Super Bowl, guys, should they be considered the NFL's best dynasty
06:55of all time?
06:56Not yet.
06:57They're getting there though.
06:58What Patrick Holmes and the Chiefs have done under Andy Reid is incredible.
07:0117 and three at this point, seven straight playoff appearances.
07:06They've got three Super Bowl wins, a chance to win their fourth on Sunday, which would
07:10be amazing.
07:11But no, because it's still a long way to go to be what the Patriots did in 16 out of 17
07:15years.
07:16One year they didn't make the playoffs.
07:17Brady was out for the season.
07:19They're 30 and 11 during that stretch, six trophies and they had three straight.
07:23But I'll tell you what, winning on Sunday though, three straight and four and seven
07:27years is absolutely putting the Chiefs in the right path, but they still have a ways
07:30to go.
07:31So I think it depends on what your definition of dynasty is, because I think when it comes
07:35to sports, there's all kinds of different, it gets used in a variety of different ways.
07:40My definition of a sports dynasty is a team that when you're in the middle of it, you
07:43just pen them in for the next year's championship.
07:46You think they're going to win the next championship.
07:48And I don't think that yet with the Kansas City Chiefs, even though what I do think they
07:53are, I think they're an AFC dynasty based upon, but being a seven consecutive AFC title
07:59games in five of the last six Superbowls.
08:02But the best dynasty of all time to me is a Green Bay Packers going back to predating
08:07the Superbowl era.
08:08They won five of seven titles leading into the first two Superbowls.
08:13That to me is a better dynasty.
08:15Jeez.
08:16I remember Briggs too.
08:17This guy.
08:18Geez.
08:19All right.
08:20I mean, it is what it is.
08:22When you ask a question that includes the term all time, am I not allowed to go back
08:27to all time?
08:28No, you went back.
08:29You went way back.
08:30Way back.
08:31All right.
08:32I'm going to, I'm going to say, recency bias and everything.
08:35I'm going to say it is.
08:36No one's ever done three in a row.
08:38Okay.
08:39We know that.
08:40On top of that.
08:41Didn't they?
08:42No, they didn't.
08:43They didn't win three in a row.
08:44No, they didn't win three in a row.
08:45Gator.
08:46That.
08:47Okay.
08:48On top of that, it would be four out of six.
08:49Plus it would be five out of six.
08:51Demonstrate AFC title games.
08:53I mean, to me, this is the greatest dynasty of all time.
08:56I don't think anyone will ever win three in a row again if the Patriots do it this year.
09:01So I'm going to say it would be all right.
09:07James Harrison and Chad Ochoa's Ochoa Cinco almost literally got into a fistfight during
09:11a Shannon Sharp podcast from Superbowl this week.
09:14It happened yesterday.
09:15Actually, Ochoa Cinco was very adamant that he would kick Harrison's ass like they were
09:19going to fight if people weren't nervously laughing and they're on camera as well.
09:24Guys, who do you think would win in a fight, Harrison or Ochoa Cinco?
09:28Okay.
09:29I'm sorry.
09:30If you saw the video and you saw what kind of shape James Harrison is in, I think there's
09:35only one man on the planet that can beat up James Harrison and it's James Harrison.
09:40James Harrison would annihilate Chad Johnson.
09:43It would make Johnny Morton look competitive in the UFC.
09:47I'm not sure there's a current player in the NFL that could beat up James Harrison.
09:50James Harrison is still rocked up.
09:55No way is this a fair fight.
09:57I don't know if you knew this.
09:59Chad Johnson is actually taller.
10:01He's 6'1", enlisted at 180 something in his playing career.
10:05Probably close to 200 pounds now that he's moved on from his career, but he still works
10:09out.
10:10Chad Johnson is also rocked.
10:12That being said, James Harrison played defense in the National Football League.
10:16There's a whole different mentality when you're playing defense.
10:19What they were arguing about, they were kind of joking.
10:22I forget who it was.
10:23It was the other guest on the show.
10:24Joey Porter.
10:25Joey Porter, who said something like, yeah, but if he catches you, and then Chad Johnson
10:29got really pissed off.
10:30He's like, don't worry about it.
10:31I'm talking about catching.
10:32He's like, everybody's talking about the small and the size of the guy.
10:34I'm like, yeah, they're talking about the size of the guy because literally if James
10:37Harrison catches you and wraps his arms around you, you are done-zo.
10:44He'd destroy you.
10:45I mean, I haven't heard anything about Chad Ochoacinco being the next Michael Westbrook
10:49being the Karate Man, but that's a different kind of fight.
10:53But this is...
10:54Yeah.
10:55No, no.
10:56James Harrison is a whole different kind of guy.
10:57So that's the thing.
10:58If this is like a regular street fight, yeah, James Harrison all day.
11:00He gets his hands on him.
11:01He gets to wrestle him to the ground.
11:02It's over.
11:03Ochoacinco has done some celebrity boxing, for what it's worth, on these undercards of
11:08these, you know, misfit fights and things like that.
11:10So maybe in a boxing fight, straight up, he could wear down Harrison, get his cardio going
11:14on.
11:15He is older and with all that muscle, he would get tired quicker.
11:19But if it was just a straight up fight, Ochoacinco is not like some black belt jiu-jitsu guy.
11:23So it's over if it's to get to the ground and most fights get to the ground.
11:27All right, last one for fun.
11:32Kylie Kelsey, who is Jason Kelsey's wife.
11:34She's from Pennsylvania.
11:35Huge, huge Eagles fan.
11:37If she is in the Kelsey family suite for the Super Bowl, is she allowed to wear Eagles
11:42gear?
11:43Yes.
11:44Because she's family.
11:45That's the only, I mean, if she were a friend of a friend who's invited, you can't do it.
11:49But because she's family and her husband played for the Eagles, I think you're allowed to
11:54do that.
11:55I mean, even Jason Kelsey said, look, yeah, I'm rooting.
11:57I mean, he split hairs and I'm rooting for my brother and I'm also rooting for the Eagles.
12:01I think she's absolutely allowed to because it's the Kelsey suite.
12:05It's not like you're going into somebody else's suite.
12:08Not up in here.
12:09Oh, you can do whatever you want.
12:12Just not up in here.
12:13To create too much noise.
12:16Not allowed.
12:17Yeah, I agree, Doug.
12:18No way.
12:19In fact, not only can she not wear Eagles gear, she can't cheer.
12:22She has to sit there in silence.
12:23Like, if you're cheering for the other team in our suite, get out.
12:28You can sit and watch with us, but you gotta be silent.
12:30Pretend you're a member of the media at this point.
12:33And that concludes the Y9 Omaha 4 Down Around the League Blitz thingy.
