Can we talk about that for a second? If you don't watch the press conference where the New York Jets introduced Adam Gase as their new head coach I highly recommend that you look it up because he resembled Vladimir Putin. It was actually to that point Now face-wise hair-wise he may resemble Putin, but if this is more about It's a Putin or Putin Shows you how educated I am He may resemble him, but it was more so about the death stare that he gave you out the whole press conference It's about that gaze Adam gaze Looking off to the side did not you know I actually counted Did the all whole two and a half minutes that he was on? The podium he's at the podium and he spoke for two and a half minutes before he sat down and started answering questions from the media Which believe me he actually had that whole gaze that the whole entire press conference But just considering the podium two and a half minutes He blinked five times within that span now. You may think to yourself Hassan. That's not bad What is that one blink every 30 seconds? It's not, but if you consider How wide open his eyes were how How how far apart his top eyelids were from his bottom eyelids? the amount of space That he was allowing the surface of his eyeballs to to reach carbon dioxide and oxygen that mixture You would have to think to yourself You've got to blink more than five times in a span of two and a half minutes But it was crazy. There was one point where like even he made a joke about like face timing or something like that He looked off to the side did not blink and he made some face I was like like he was trying to laugh or trying to hide a laugh, but he just Now if you're watching this podcast up on YouTube Let's put up a side-by-side graphic of my face making that and Adam gaze. It was like I don't know how closely I'm resembling it right now But if you're listening to this podcast on itunes, just know that we have a podcast up on YouTube that you go Search for time to football up on there. You can subscribe on there. I didn't even introduce myself. My name is Hassan Khan I am the host of this fabulous show time to football. My apologies. Where are my manners? Speaking of manners, how about Trump? gosh man so much Many great things happened on Monday Adam gaze Trump serving fast food to Clemson football for winning their championship Now Trump is an avid fast food lover if you don't know that he talks about it all the time He eats it all the time and He this government shut down prevented him from serving all these five course meals at the Clemson football Players and coaching staff expected to get Instead Trump actually got fast food Wendy's McDonald's pizza. You got Domino's Big Macs flio fishes Just Dave single with cheeses. I know, you know, it was just a lot of things. There was also In the pictures. There was actually a Pictures of salads like from fast food restaurants. So I guess that's kind of healthy. I don't know Um my voice kind of cracked right there because that shows how much confidence I have in how healthy those salads are But that was interesting how that happened dude Like okay, I'm a guy my rule with food is quantity over quality All the time quantity over quality like give me a lot of food. I don't care how I Guess I do care about kind of sort of being healthy But like I don't care about the taste like I'd rather have a lot of food and get more bang for my buck But this is free food from the president of the United States They all dressed up the Clemson football players dead expecting steaks and lobsters and all that kind of sort of stuff They actually said like when they were Yo dog when they added big Macs in their original boxes to their tiny paper plates They're like man, I thought this was gonna be a joke So with me being quantity over quality, you know, I would smash that food. I totally would but You know with it being the White House. I guess I kind of expected it to be a Little bit more fancy or food I guess Trump expected or thought legitimately that this was gonna be a good idea or that this was gonna be funny but Man and thought that big boys were gonna love that food but just imagine being a football team with a team of nutritionalists and trainers That tell you how to eat all season long You probably don't even crave junk food at that point and being forced to eat that man. That was Great stuff, man. Good times Can't get more American than that fast food though, so do you have to applaud him on that? Anyways, besides my tangents that I just went on We are gonna talk about the conference title games That are going on in the NFC and the AFC the Rams versus the Saints and the NFC and the Patriots versus the Chiefs and the AFC But before we do that We have to go to our segment on the show that we have every single week and it is called Mind Blowing Facts Wow, yes indeed that was Owen Wilson given his infamous Wow sound effects Because what happens with this segment is that we read off mind-blowing facts that pertain to either The upcoming games or the games from last week We make it relevant to the weeks that are happening right now So we're gonna go ahead and read off five facts and every time after we read off a fact you're gonna hear the sound Wow Just because it's mind-blowing so let's read off fact number one With his win last week Tom Brady has more postseason wins than Peyton Manning has postseason appearances Wow believe that Tom Brady has 28 postseason wins Pete Manning has 27 postseason appearances so Brady has more wins than any other quarterback has Appearances shows why he's one of the greatest of all time fact number two Brady's weakness in the playoffs has been on the road He only has three road playoff wins Mark Sanchez on the other hand has four Road playoff wins. Well, either or not Sanchez has more road playoff wins than Brady and the record for the most playoff wins by a quarterback on the road Joe Flacco Seven road playoff wins in his career fact number three We're still gonna be talking about the Patriots and the game is against the Chargers James White Tied the postseason record for most receptions in a single game with 15 Wow James White also had zero carries on the day on the ground, but 15 receptions. He actually tied Darren Sprouls's record when Sprouls had 15 receptions in the game against the San Francisco 49ers in 2011 fact number four last week Sean McVeigh's victory over the Cowboys made him the youngest head coach to win a playoff game in NFL history John Madden's Record John Madden was 33 when he won with the Raiders and McVeigh was 32 He's he's about to turn 33 in about a couple weeks I believe and the last fact for the day Michael Thomas had another big day for the Saints last week in the playoffs Michael Thomas averages nine receptions 129 yards in one touchdown a game. Wow. That's the kind of wide receiver you want So those were mind-blowing facts So now we're gonna preview the NFC championship the Rams and the Saints and the AFC championship the Patriots and the Chiefs The number one and the number two seats respectively as a matter of fact For the last six years six years in a row It's always been the number one seed versus the number two seed and the respective conference title games So both teams that ended up having a buy in their conference ended up facing and the Championship game so first off we're gonna start off with the Rams versus Saints This is a rematch of their game earlier in week nine this season where the Saints came back and they won 4535 great matchup happened in the Superdome and this will again happen in the Superdome as well The Rams last week looked phenomenal at home CJ Anderson has been a bright spot for them Along with Todd Gurley the first hundred yard rushers in the playoffs in a single game since 1999 since the Broncos did it and Over on the Saints looked phenomenal as well Beating the Eagles they were down 14 to nothing in the first quarter But the defense stepped up allowing it zero points for the rest of the way and The Saints came back and won 20 to 14. This would be a great matchup. I'm excited about it As far as our picks here on time to football You know, I really love the Rams and I really love the Saints and I would be happy Either way, I'm just watching this game as a football fan Just enjoying it and I feel like both teams are gonna do really well However, I'm gonna have to give the edge to the Saints the Saints They're just on a different level and we're gonna talk about why a little bit later on in the podcast The last few weeks of the regular season and last week proved that this defense is much more capable to holding up on their own what do you guys believe what we took polls on Instagram of You guys voting for each game and who you got who you guys believe are gonna win each game So let's go ahead and bring up those polls and see what you guys think So you guys as well Believe that the Saints are going to beat the Los Angeles Rams 41% are favoring the Rams as opposed to 59% the majority are favoring the Saints so It's a little bit close in the voting so it could go either way Which I believe it will but we'll see it But both of us agree that the Saints or we're picking the Saints to win this game The next game we got is an AFC championship the Patriots versus Chiefs Tom Brady And the Patriots and their eighth straight AFC championship game think about that That's history being made right there Tom Brady has a chance to go to his ninth Super Bowl has a chance to win his sixth Super Bowl and last week against the Chargers coming off that bye week They looked phenomenal Watching them just dismantle the Chargers on every side of the ball offensively defensively this team I Wouldn't be surprised if they go on and they win the Super Bowl in Atlanta As for the Chiefs, they looked great as well in Arrowhead Stadium in the cold in the snow Against the Red Hot Indianapolis Colts The Chiefs defensively for as much flak have they been getting all season long showed up last week and let's see if they could keep that trend going because we already know what their offense can do and Outside looking in if you look at this matchup on paper They it's gonna be an offensive battle, but don't Like the Saints don't undermine the Chiefs defense and that's why I'm picking the Chiefs to win Not so much because I have faith in the Chiefs offense because I do But I believe that this Chiefs defense at Arrowhead Stadium Against Tom Brady who only has three road playoff victories in his career Is gonna be stopped by this Chiefs defense So I pick of the Chiefs to win this game. It's gonna be a good matchup Who do you guys think are gonna win? So we've got the polls up and this is actually way more At a proportion than the Saints and Rams game 69% it's a sexy number by the way 69% are going with the Chiefs to win this game and 31% are favoring the Patriots now. I Don't know whether that's just America in general just being tired of seeing the Patriots in the Super Bowl So they're just like yeah Chiefs. Yeah, I'm just enjoying that we get to see history being made That's all I'm enjoying just seeing Tom Brady just add on to his legacy Already the greatest quarterback of all time and he's just more and more each and every year adding on to the Or closing the debate I should say on why he is the greatest quarterback of all time So those are gonna be two exciting games coming up this weekend, and we're excited to watch them Now we're gonna get into discussing Like I said why I believe that the Saints are just a different team this year as well as some fan questions that we've got Submitted by you guys on social media But before we do that we're gonna talk about patreon and patreon is the number one way to sponsor your favorite content creator We launched this thing back in 2018, and we've been getting a lot of support A few people have contributed on patreon, and we thank you guys so much for that What patreon is is think of it like a go fund me for your favorite content creator So your favorite youtuber or podcaster videographer Whatever it is.

I've just been seeing a more different and More focused New Orleans Saints ball club and it really stems back From gosh, you see the ten-year challenge on social media Well, let's talk about the ten years that the New Orleans Saints have had since 2008 2009 now in 2009 they won the Super Bowl but the years between the Super Bowl and to now They've been seven and nine eight and eight sometimes they Go to the wild card round of the playoffs division around in the playoffs, but they end up losing to Martial Lynch and beast mode off that incredible run that he had in 2010 and just other instances like that And the New Orleans Saints feel like there's been so many wasted seasons That have happened during those times when you were to breeze and that offense all the time will throw 5,000 yards But the defense is a letdown and the defense really stepped it up last year And they've been a different team ever since then But I feel like it stems from that that they're just tired of losing and tired of missing out when they've had so much talent on Offense, let's go back to last year. I feel like the Saints last year with an approved defense by drafting March on Lattimore Losing the way that they did in Minneapolis With Stefan digs and the Minneapolis miracle and I think this year He's way more focused. They've approved their team and the draft and the offseason and free agency They got the first round by that their number one team and the NFC And they know that they can't let this year slip by an example of that was a couple weeks ago Where Sean Payton brought out the Lombardi trophy you guys have probably heard of this But if you haven't let's go ahead and pull up a picture of it where Sean Payton pulled out the Lombardi trophy and $225,000 in cash with $225,000 that's what each player individually wins when they win the Super Bowl He said if you want all this then win three Effing games that just shows that Sean Payton is more serious He's more aggressive and he's more assertive and not letting this year slip by like it did last year For the New Orleans Saints Let's talk about last week how Drew Brees before every single game has a pregame chant a pregame speech But this week's pregame speech Against the Eagles was a little bit different. They're always motivating every single week This week's chant This week's speech showed a different side of breeze Let's go ahead and play that video and this goes out to the Saints Instagram So the video is credited to them. Let's go ahead and play it and we'll get back to you guys These stages of this game You play you compete and lethal when you're a kid you play you play because you love this game You love the game of football, then you start learning fundamentals You start learning technique. You start learning how to compete and how to win Now the third stage, not everybody gets to the third stage Not everybody gets to be lethal But when you get a group of guys, a team like this, they lost one another They're playing for one another That's lethal When you're going every game And you got a chance to win No matter what the circumstances You will find a way to win That's lethal So all season long we play We compete in and tonight We are lethal Be lethal Those two words Show how serious Breeze and the New Orleans Saints are By not letting this year slip Like it did last year Again, every team is serious And making the Super Bowl But there's just something different About this year's team Than previous years But I want to know your thoughts for sure So if you're watching this video on YouTube Let me know your comments Or let me know your thoughts in the comments down below If you think the Saints are A much more different and focused team Or do you think they're going to go all the way Even? Definitely want to interact with the guys And hear your thoughts Now it's time for our last segment Of the day, fan questions You guys have submitted your questions through social media And we pick a few of them And we answer them on air So if you guys submitted your questions And we don't have a chance to answer them No worries, we don't throw away your questions We save them and we will answer them In another week We just picked a few of them And we'll look at any of them So all my answers are going to be authentic So this is going to be fun We'll see how this goes First question is from The instagram username I am Jojo Patton So if you know Jojo Patton If you're a regular degler He makes some on air appearances at times And he is known to send some Interesting questions This one says I have a lump In my spine and throat Is it serious So he has two lumps One in his spine And one in his throat I think it's good to get a yearly physical I think the one in your throat Is called an Adam's apple And if you have About 15 lumps I don't know how many But in your spine They might be your vertebrae But if it seems irregular Then definitely get it checked out You're 25 26 So you're young You shouldn't be worried about your health But It's going to go downhill from here You're only going to get older And it's good to get a physical Every single year But I appreciate you asking me that And I would love To get updated And you're my prayers bro So hopefully you're alright Next one is From another on air Personality of town football Brandon sing If you know the Madden Tournament Great times when we watched that He was the one that drank That shake That was disgusting But he asked A question as well This one is a little bit more serious So thank you Brandon His username is He asks Do you think players should be able To get drafted out of high school It's a good question I know basketball players and high school player Or I should say basketball Players and baseball players That are in high school Do get drafted right out of high school And I think That's a different Level of sport I don't want to say that it doesn't You know I don't want to undermine Sport Because in basketball you definitely have to show some Aggression and have to have physical strength All that sort of stuff But having someone like LeBron James Who was drafted right out of high school Being already physically to that point Where He's capable of playing with Grown men Yeah basketball it makes a little bit more sense And even college players That play basketball they don't have to wait Like the college football players do They don't have to wait 3 years Before they get drafted With football it's about When you're 18 years old You're not fully grown yet As you would be when you're 21 or 22 So I think They're really trying to protect them And Just allow them to play with other 18 19 year olds as opposed to You know 24 25 year old linebackers That are at their peaks So And there are certain examples like Trevor Lawrence He's 6'6", 215 He's already physically at that point There's exceptions It's a topic of debate But that's Those are my thoughts on it This next question is from another On-air personality Someone that joined us on the town of football podcast It's from John Castle John actually joined us for the NFC East Podcast that we had over the And he's a big Eagles fan He asks About the Eagles Are the Eagles making a mistake by choosing Wentz over Foles He says I believe so I appreciate the question John It could go back and forth Some fans believe that they are Some fans believe that they aren't I personally believe that they aren't I believe that Carson Wentz is the future You're going to get a lot more years out of him And Okay so what's the What's the benefit of having Foles So he Won them a Super Bowl He had an amazing late season run He won a playoff game You know it's He's good in the In the long haul As far as the post season But we don't know Carson Wentz's ability in the post season yet We don't know how clutch he can be So Foles I get it You know he won a Super Bowl He'll always be a Philly legend You know he could go out there And throw three interceptions a game But he'll always still be Loved and admired by the fans in Philadelphia He'll always have that Statue In front of Lincoln Financial Field Saying you want to go for Philly Philly He'll always be admired and Appreciated for what he did Physically Athletically He's just a more gifted Passer I feel like And he has a lot more years on him And we don't know what he's going to do In the post season so We'll have to see But I believe Carson Wentz Is the future But I don't blame you for thinking that Foles should be the quarterback I can see either way Next question K13 underscore Ashton Did Phillip Rivers end on a bad note At the end of the season? Yeah And I actually been talking about on this podcast All year long That if the Chargers make the Super Bowl That's going to be it for Phillip Rivers He's going to retire He's going to spend time with his nine kids He's going to go visit Decatur, Alabama Spend time with his family for a bit as well But You know he did end on a bad note Back next year And I believe that he wants to win a Super Bowl that year And you know I'd hate for him to retire With that one Because what's really preventing him From being a Hall of Fame quarterback Is that Super Bowl And Super Bowls are team victories But They do add on to your individual Resume and Sucks for Phillip To end that way But hopefully he can get back A Super Bowl one day Next question from Abe Allen Underscore 3 What's up It's all he says Nothing much, you? Next question From Underscore Vance Underscore James, Underscore Montgomery Who's the best quarterback Going into the next round Wow Accolades wise Absolutely Tom Brady For us this year, just the team around him How talented he is How teams haven't been able to stop him yet Has been able to dissect defenses Patrick Mahomes, man Patrick Mahomes I like Drew Brees and Tom Brady And their veteran ability to Just You know win games when it comes down to it But Patrick Mahomes is just Young, he's just athletic He's just on a different level right now Playing out of his mind So Patrick Mahomes is my answer But best quarterback overall Is Tom Brady, then Drew Brees Followed by that Last question From Riker Underscore T23 Favorite football team Question mark, question mark, question mark Atlanta Falcons Atlanta Falcons So those were your fan questions And that brings us to the end of the show So we thank you guys for joining us For this podcast Make sure you guys If you're listening to this podcast on iTunes Make sure you guys go over to YouTube Subscribe to us on there And we come out with more video podcasts That's actually another thing that I wanted to mention Next week Since it's I guess pro bowl week We're not going to come out with a podcast Instead if you go over to YouTube You're going to see all these videos that we make Super Bowl And we're going to make a ton of hype videos as well So it's going to be interesting stuff Go up to YouTube But then the following week For Super Bowl week We're going to come out with a podcast talking about the Super Bowl So next week, no podcast Go to YouTube, check out our videos YouTube.com Vice versa, if you're on YouTube right now Go over to the podcast app Search time of football on there And make sure you rate and review this podcast Make sure you go over to social media And subscribe to us on there The username is at time of football Twitter, Instagram, Facebook At time of football, follow us on there And interact with us Appreciate you guys joining us for this podcast And remember Link only five times In the span of two and a half minutes See if you can last Boo Take care
