 from 32 down to two weird games NFC game We I had people watching the NFC game yesterday That never watched football and they're like this is what you do for a living. This is how do you do this every day? I'm bored. I don't like what's going on here We'll dig into that and then we got to get to the AFC side of things X factor human joy stick Dante Hall is on the show the perfect person to have after the sky more thing Last time we saw Dante Moore. He was coming in straight from McKendrick Lamar concert in a lay the night before and today He is joining as Brighton early on the West Coast from being at Arrowhead last night poppin bottles of champagne from a sweet or something. So that's very exciting And then we have I mean Marissa's hilarious. We're here with another green screen as our studio is getting rebuilt Can you come over here? She wore an eagle shirt anybody ever take up production class look at the oh, yeah, she's missing Fly give it give it to me. Give it to me Marissa Oh Show starts now Awkward I like that was more awkward that than Marissa behind me on a green screen trying to do this Marissa Nobody the control room thought that you weren't gonna be singing. I thought you'd be singing sing sing from your gut Fly goes fly. No, just something. No shoes Eagles fly Jalen much more comfortable on the field than he was singing that song will get to all of that We've got Brandon Marshall on the show people were excited to break down some of this And yeah, we're gonna get to the officiating because a lot of it was sus yesterday and we didn't like it So bangles fans that got you covered But the important thing here is that the Heinz ketchup Super Bowl the Super Bowl 57 has been set Kansas City Chiefs taking on Marissa's Philadelphia Eagles in the desert in Arizona We're in a Marshall by the way joining our show. He picked the Eagles to go all the way I think we first had him on the first couple of weeks of the season and this game will be take place Less than two weeks from today. So we're gonna chew on it We're gonna spit it out pick it up put it back in our mouths Swish it around chew it back out again because that is how much time we have to break down these games And I don't care much for the Pro Bowl So we're gonna talk about this and a lot of the twists and turns as it happened yesterday. So I Stayed up all night watching these games full disclosure. This is water We're waiting for my coffee to arrive So this is how I feel and where we should start is in the game We saw last night in the AFC this dramatic Chiefs win bit of controversy 23 to 20 over the Bengals their first win over the Bengals a score now three to one and I will get into some of these calls the Thoughts about the referees the officiating a little bit later So do not worry Bengals fans, but we got it and we will and we're excited to give the Chiefs some love This is incredible what they accomplished last night bum ankle Travis Kelsey backs basins down every option to catch a ball that there is a pesky mare giving everybody the cringes and they still Got it done Patrick Mahomes. He was down not one not two not three four He was down four of his top five receivers still manages to throw This laser to Marquis Valdez scantling for a touchdown MBS have yourself a night Unbelievable performance performance of a lifetime. I was tweeting. I mean I tweeted that was my Twitter performance of a lifetime lesson I was on a plane watching this action. The Bengals were in defense part of my Twitter tirade I was loving it. They were stout against Casey DJ reader was on our show the other week I'm excited for what they were doing. They held the Chiefs to just about two yards per carry So what does that mean? It was all on the Holmes It was all on Patrick Mahomes on a bum ankle to deliver and he did that even though he was dealing with Something that saw him limping out on the field. It was still an issue. He battled through it And he just kept doing it. He kept making place. It was crazy and I tried to warn you people I tried to warn you bangles fans of Chris Jones Had a little something extra for this. He never had a sack in a playoff performance He had about 15 or 14 of those outings Sackless almost got his hands up bro twice barely Couldn't get his hands on him so they could advance to the Super Bowl last year. He has another shot This was amazing. He doesn't ding once. He takes them down twice. Okay, 14th playoff game for that He hit Joe Burrow. He was all over Burrow the whole time and he had another five times as well in this one So I mean he talks about making up for past opportunities and stuff in the AFC title game last year And he responds with the game of his life saying by the way to James Palmer Jimmy palm trees over NFL media after the game Don't disrespect Arrowhead. Do not disrespect Arrowhead. That was the theme after the game, of course, which it's not even called Arrowhead anymore Isn't it GEHA stadium at this point stadium without their calling it Imagine what an L that is for them with all of this burrow head arrow head nonsense They can't even get the game the name and the branding right But this chief's team was right and and they won and they made plays when it counted and their quarterback was out of his mind and He was on another level and I did it I'll be totally honest and we're gonna get into the Bengal side of this You got a lot to gripe about and today's an emotional day I want to remind everyone feel free to just set score to earth on everybody all the officials all be mad at the NFL Be mad at everybody mad at you know Well, we'll talk about being mad at 58 and Brenda Marshall has some thoughts on that coming up but I didn't I Wasn't comfortable with what I was seeing at the end of last week From the fans with the bangles and the mayor and all of that stuff That was going on it, you know, I texted Hamilton at Friday night After this whole mayor fiasco went down and I just said I do not like this bangles vibe of dominance Like we're better through you know, blah blah chiefs are pissed Gotta be and he said it's not them. Don't change on us. I don't think the bangles fans are changing I think there's obviously a lot of pent up stuff going on with the NFL's rules changing on the fly to not give them You know all the benefits of all of the rules they decided to change In the shadow in the aftermath of what happened with DeMar Hamlin who was healthy and recovering and and we loved to see all of that I think they felt like they got a raw deal. I agree that they did get a raw deal and I think There was a lot of bravado going into this game, but the burrow head stuff You know the Hilton stuff of it all this was not the vibe going into the Super Bowl or this AFC championship game last year And I didn't I didn't love it But I did think to myself and I even wrote this to Hamilton later that night. I don't it's okay They're still going to be fine because they have Joe Burrow and Zach Taylor and Joe Burrow is now all of a sudden feeling Smoking cigars before games are even played. He's not affected the team isn't going to overshoot this And they didn't they looked fine yesterday. It's just that it really clearly affected the chiefs Okay, and I can't play this bite enough. I don't know that I've laughed so hard about a NFL post game bite. I mean, I'm I'm crying about Travis Kelsey. Let's start with him with Mahomes after the game There's the belly laugh just the bed that is penned up That's just you I can you can love the bangles. You can be that is hilarious That is hilarious to what's joyful and then you have Kelsey and he's up there with Jim Nancy's trying to have you know Have some then go write some nice and PG and here he is Hey, I got some wise words for that Cincinnati mayor know your role and shut your mouth Yeah, Jebrony Yeah, Jebrony, I was like what is happening. Am I watching an AFC title game or am I watching like WWE? What am I why loved? I just loved it because to be honest as man I'm really sad for the bangles and bangles fans are pissed today and they should be so angry but It only it will it shows a couple of things bulletin board material anybody Eric Weddle included saying it doesn't matter You shouldn't be motivated every game is basically decided on the X factor We'll ask Dante Hall about this of bulletin board material serving as motivation. It helped send those receipts back It completely lifted the bangles over the bills in that game to get to this AFC championship game and then all this talking had it wasn't tons of talking goes a couple, you know a couple apples and A couple talkative apples and a mare that really did this But but I have to be honest like my it's my dream to do what Kelsey did It is my dream to have all these people against me Don't go out and do you know whatever whatever it might be and have me put up a performance and Be able to back it up and get in front of the microphones of the world and belly laugh About being Disrespected and you call like calling the place that I live in my quarterback who I love so much Another name and I mean the media flew with that. That's not even the bit the media completely flew with the borough head thing And that happens. So yes, we will get into the penalties in a bit, but congrats to these chiefs Congratulations to the city of Kansas City. Is this the dynasty? Do they need a win for it to be a dynasty? I'll ask Dante Hall. They made plays. That's all I know for right now on this Monday celebrating this And they they got themselves their trip to Arizona. Now, let's get to the Eagles This guy how much how much time do we spend on this? The Eagles are meeting the chiefs in the Super Bowl Bizarre Bowl is sort of the word that I've come to terms with the with the NFC championship tilt 31 to 7 uneven I Don't even know We had debates about punts hitting wires There was a near brawl. I could not pull. I literally could not believe what I was seeing And the way this one completely turned on the Niners sixth play from scrimmage, okay? And this is the guy that deserves all of our love Hassan Reddick. Oh my And it was the whole time I mean this this strip sack of Brock Purdy this injures Purdy He gets banged up on his elbow and it looked like Brock was done until fourth drink string quarterback Josh Johnson Got that concussion, right? He forces Brock to go back into the game Even though he couldn't really throw the ball It was kind of a bummer seeing the Niners season come down to more injuries the quarterback position I would have loved to sort of see the teams face each other at full strength There was a sentiment that I saw a lot on Twitter that you know I wish we could have seen both of these guys, but credit to the Eagles you get the job done You're the last man standing you They left they dominated that's what they did and Hassan Reddick as you just saw He sort of makes a statement here Maybe he should have been under stronger consideration for defensive player of the or granted Chris Jones did his thing I'm not saying he didn't but to not even be named a finalist for the award This man finished second in the NFL and sacks in the regular season He completely outshined Nick Bosa yesterday with two sacks of the fourth fumble on the Purdy play Oh Marissa's going Yes, yes. I mean, it's true. He was the one Hassan Reddick Recovered Josh Johnston's drop pass as well So he's been on fire during this entire postseason run and if the Eagles finish and they lift that Lombardi Oh my gosh, can you imagine Kelsey and Kelsey? I can't even handle it We'll be talking about Reddick's playoff performance and I'm not even kidding. I will put it up there I'll be the first to say it is up there with a 2015 von Miller You know, you want to talk how many bears highlights? I've been living off of his scraps for the past 30 years Richard Dent, baby 85 bears it and he have been that Frickin good and for the Eagles offense Do you feel good about it? You do. Okay. She's nervous. Okay. She's nervous, but she's not you got this We didn't I don't know how to feel today. Today's just reaction emotion day, right? We didn't get to see Jalen Hertz at his best, right? He wasn't on top of his game But they were able to keep pounding away at this niners team that everyone said you haven't faced a defense like us Well, it's the number one ranked defense and they coasted to a win So Jalen keeps saying his shoulder isn't 100% and he's keeping it real with us And he hasn't quite looked as sharp as he did earlier this season But the the Eagles haven't really had to lean on that army and maybe they won't right They haven't really had to do that in the playoffs and they've been literally running over teams Are you dying when you saw Boston Scott get in the end zone? I'm at I'm at a Smirnoff event having having I was actually having a lot of fun I was I'm a Smirnoff spokesperson and partner and I'm in Dallas for the day and but when I see this Boston Scott thing I am losing my I'm throwing coasters and think I was losing my mind I was so excited because he's a friend of the show and he's a guy who's like I just do my thing against the Giants and I just want to make good plays when they happen I want to be a guy who's just consistent and does what he's told You crushed it and feel and Miles Sanders. You loved seeing all of it fit Philly Dominant win and there's nothing to take away from this other than you advance to a Super Bowl, which is amazing But the shoulder is something I'm nervous about and something that I personally will be keeping a close eye on as we head towards The Super Bowl is two weeks enough time to heal a little bit. Will he regain his top form? These are all questions, but defense offensive line. Oh my god this offensive line Jordan My a lot of emotional left at the game these Eagles are going to be tough to stop All right, I'm gonna stop talking. I hopefully my coffee is here. We've got so much to get you I don't need coffee because we've got an electric Former wide receiver for the Chiefs joining us. I bet he's slept even less than I did Dante. Have you slept yet? Don't lie. You're You're pulling another Kendrick Lamar. I know it Do you have his Instagram? Oh Do you have the Instagram with the champagne? Oh, I want the champagne Instagram as we will get Patrick Holmes and Travis Kelsey. You probably had their fair share of champs last night after winning and hosted hoisting that AFC championship trophy Conrad's telling me we're live on air I guess that's good to know as we welcome in our first guest who played wide receiver for nine seasons seven of those for the Kansas City Chiefs He's one of the baddest return specialists in the history of the NFL They call him the human joystick at the X factor. It never gets old with Dante. Hello Oh Good morning. How are you? I listen, I'm good Last time I saw you you came crawling in from a Kendrick Lamar concert in LA on no sleep And last night, I hope we have it because I asked for it. I'm watching the video you pop and ball. Yes In a suite at geha field at arrowhead talk to me about the vibes I mean, honestly The vibes were I felt a lot of nervous energy Because it felt like that game was setting up to be a repeat of last year So a lot of nervous energy throughout the stadium But also obviously a lot of excitement the defense played tails off um, but definitely you can feel like Everyone feeling like Not again, especially when patrick lost the um lost the ball when I guess he was attempting to make a pass It was like deja vu all over again. So A lot of nervous energy, but a lot of fun in the end So in the end tell me about that energy Was it just as exciting as a couple of years ago when they won and then went on to win the super bowl or do you You know, give me that be honest hall be honest So I'll be I'm always honest like I'm gonna keep it real with you no matter what So the stadium was just Exciting but I felt like once we got away from the stadium and went to go out to party It was pretty dead. It was pretty dead in kc. So maybe kansas city fans are So jaded or they're so used to going to super bowls and went in lc championships They don't celebrate the lc championships anymore. They only celebrate super bowl wins Wow Yeah, I got to talk to somebody on the patreon This is a dynasty in the making if it's not already a dynasty like did they get tired? Did fox bro or new england ever get tired? They've made it to three of the last four. So going into this one now. They're going back Leading into this game Don't say there was a lot of chatter. There's a lot. We've got mares talking You had travis kelsie out there talking to jim nance. I was i'm still crying from that the whole burrowhead thing Let's let's I want to play it again. Show me show me kelsie with nance. Please do I've got some wise words for that Cincinnati mayor. Know your role and shut your mouth. You jabroni You gotta fight for your right Epic epic, um, and that's how you in all trash talk right there That's the way you in trash talk, but leading up to the game. I thought it was amazing Um, I like when guys are honest how they feel. Um, I like a little banter a little trash talk I think it makes for a better game But in the end you got to go out and play and back it up and the bingles almost backed it up but obviously The patrick mail homes led chiefs and travis kelsie Had the last word and I was very graceful if jim nance if jim nance handed you that microphone last night What would you have said to the mayor? Oh, it would have been safer tv It would have been a bunch of Couple of fines handed out. I mean The disrespect when they started calling arrowhead burrowhead that pissed me off the rest of the tit chatter That's great, but You can't call arrowhead burrowhead. That's just the ultimate disrespect and i'm a big joe burrow fan I think the guy's incredible. I've been a fan of this veil since lsu really like him other than when he's playing my chiefs But they took it a little too far and um, I think I would have said something similar to what I said shut your mouth Yeah, yeah, and it was it was mike hilton's Name so it's it's important to point out. It wasn't joe burrow calling it burrowhead joe burrow would you know I don't think he would ever it just you know, let's remove him to your point What do you think went so wrong for the bangles here? Oh, it was obviously going into that game I felt like joe burrow and patrick would do what they do in big games like this it's always the role players of the others and um I just think that offensive line been weak. You got chris jones Frank clark those guys really feasted off of that um poorest offensive line and I think that was the biggest difference It's similar to what happened to the chiefs a few years ago in the super bowl You know, you got a lot of injuries throughout the offensive line and you just can't give your store quarterback enough time to uh, do what he does But he's still almost ported out, but the difference in the game was definitely chris jones and that and that defense Uh and I mean, you're it's very fitting that we have you I'm glad that you weren't you know arrested in some in some you know under the stadium for Expletives on the stage because we need you to go over this drive for the game-winning field goal Set up by this insane 29-yard punt talk me through this sky. This is when it mattered dante Exactly and it was so cold and as a return man The best thing about playing during the wintertime you can't really Boom these punts. So as soon as I'm sitting down watching I'm thinking to myself That is a return ball I mean you got time to catch it survey the field and make a play And it was great to see this young rookie make a play in this moment because he has struggled this season in fielding punts and and and then Uh the return man that they thought he was able to be so I think this uh, I'll be Great for him as far as his confidence moving forward But what a play because I don't believe the chiefs would have had enough time to go down and get in field position without that key return It's super true. He was an x-factor if you will uh in this game to get it done But I mean so were a lot of guys marquez valda scantling Game of his life. You mentioned christ jones game of his life, but even you know and it's sort of I defend patrick mohomes a lot this year because I think we are not Being respectful of greatness as it happens anymore because we are used to it It is normal to say patrick mohomes are gonna do this isn't this but last night ankle injury down four of his five wide receivers What's specifically impressed you about mohomes the most? Just his grit and I was it's funny you asked me that because I was just thinking about I was watching the highlights this morning Watching a lot of of coverage of and replays of the game and what came to my mind was He grew up in an area that i'm very familiar with it's east texas And I started my young like they're playing football. So first time I ever played football It's the country. It's the backyards of texas. Then I moved to houston And I started playing at city ball You know texas georgia florida louisanna all these great southern states that we know it's the football bible belt But it's something about those backyard country Southern football players they make you tough. It's a different form of football And i'm just like this is where this guy was bred. This is where he's born and raised This is where he played backyard football You have to be tough to come out of that type of atmosphere that environment. It is not easy And um, I was just like, you know, it makes sense that he went out and and played a gritty game I had high ankle springs. That's the injuries that took me pretty much out of my career I know what that feels like So i'm super impressed with his With his ability to go out and be able to play through that pain and zero degree weather It makes it even worse. So salute to him and his toughness Yeah, but I gotta tell you you can't talk about texas quarterbacks because you know who he's facing Jaylin hurts houston natives in two weeks. So They're you know, they're meeting together. It's the first meeting of two black quarterbacks in the super bowl as well What are your initial thoughts? I know it's hard to put your head around all of it Two weeks away, but two texas boys But they're both going to bring it even if they're not a hundred percent jaylin with the shoulder mohomes with the ankle Yeah, so initially someone showed me that mean That it was the first time two african quarterbacks would be facing off in the super bowl gave me the chills I think it's amazing progress um and These guys two texas guys going to battle um, I'll I'll be pulling for jaylin how you should do well, but obviously Rooting for my achieves to win. Um, I think in two weeks The injuries will not heal you can't you know heal in two weeks, but they'll definitely be feeling better They have time to um be at their optimal. Um be at their best And um, I'm looking forward to seeing these guys face off. Um, they bring two totally different things to for their teams It's going to be a fun match up to watch If i'm jaylin hurts, I don't want none of 95 I would agree 95 christians. He was on another level on he was crazy last night He really was and um, he had to be in order to win that game He had to be on that level And I don't know whose idea it was on that critical third down last player the game when chris got that set But he switched from the detackle position and went outside to the defensive end I thought that spoke volumes of his ability to play inside outside a man of his size That was very impressive And I don't know if it was spags idea the defensive lines coach idea Or if it was chris jones idea, but when they switched him It didn't allow the pangels to just basically double team him. Um easily being at the detackle position And I thought he played phenomenal and I thought deliberately that was an amazing adjustment at a pivotal point in that game. So chris jones definitely deserves a lot of kudos for that win It's really well said. It's probably why he's an all pro that versatility a big part of why He's a defensive player of the year nominee He looked a lot. I mean bosa for the niners could not get it done So we know chris jones might be that guy and lane johnson and travis's brother jason They're gonna have their hands full in the super bowl and you know the chiefs are going back there We keep talking you're saying the crowd was a little like oh another super bowl. They're in that dynasty Conversation dante are they there in your eyes? Do they need to win this super bowl against the eagles to be considered a dynasty? I think so. Yeah to be a dynasty you at least got to have three at a minimum Back to back is cool. Couple is good. But I think when you get three and more That moves you into that dynasty Conversation it's one thing to go which is just as impressive as we all know It's difficult to make it to these uh super bowls. I played nine years Never even want to play off game and these guys are playing in the fourth super bowl. So um a third super bowl in four years So definitely if you want to go to that next level and being a dynasty you got to win you got to win this one I'll just say this. I know you you love the chief side I let you know I wanted the bangles to win so now i'm just rooting for both I just want a great game But it's you know, it's very impressive It's so hard to keep a team together like brett beach has done. They obviously got rid of tyree kill They made that work and that's a benefit and and you read and all the you know The homes has been there travis has been there. They're stable on the eagle side. It's damn impressive to me. You're talking new coach You're talking new quarterback New weapons knew all that howie roseman is and jeff lory really the only thing Keeping any stability. They were able to completely retool and they're back in the super bowl and that that might be just as impressive I would agree with you hold hardly on that and I think the biggest decision they made was given jaylon herster keys He's a natural born leader and you put these pieces around him and you get a leader like that That's when your team takes off. So I agree hold hardly with everything you just said Dante do you need a nap? I do but I have a lot to do today. I need a nap. I can't nap but I need one. I'll catch up on sleep tomorrow Okay, you catch up on sleep tomorrow. You're the best. Congratulations another run. Will I see you in arizona? Absolutely. I was going anyway, but I'm glad my chiefs will be joining me Okay, they'll be joining you with the party during the rihanna concert in the desert don't say hall We appreciate you. Thank you for joining us and maybe we'll see you out there in az get some sleep We got brenda marshal come in now. Let's really get into this thing officiating Trent williams all the drama with brenda marshal We're at a marshal joining the show momentarily the bangles tweeting. We will be back and I have All of the confidence in the world that that will be true Today is an emotional day for bangles fans is an emotional week leading up to this game Of course, I wanted them to win so badly I literally tweet or texted my entire show staff as I was on a flight back from dallas to la I'm going to get I'm so gonna get escorted off this flight They're gonna put the flight on the ground somewhere in near arizona Ironically enough and I just want the pr team to be ready with fan duel And I want taylor to just get ready for the social onslaught because I am losing my mind in an exciting way It was a really exciting game. It was a great game I hate Officiating talk more than anything. I try to avoid it at all costs. It sucks. It taints the game It's never what I want to be talking about. It's never what we should be talking about especially Really any game on a measly sunday in the early window, but the a ofc championship game It's so weak And there's a lot for bangles fans to be upset about this morning and validly upset about or at least like What is that? Where's the consistency? There's the redo Oh my god, the redo of the 39. Has anybody ever seen that before has anybody ever seen a second? No jamar chase was tweeting about it. Then there's the intentional grounding when it looked like I'm sorry when there was a receiver in the area Then there's the late hit on the side Which was a late hit But also a call the bangles and didn't get on the previous drive when frank clark frank clark of all people Hits burrow well after he releases the ball. So these things The reason why bangles fans are so pissed is because that call wasn't made On the other drive and there's distrust Already with this bangles team that already thinks that the nfl changed rules on the fly and the rule book To benefit every other a ofc contender including the ravens But them again all of the consequences none of the benefits like the rest of the a ofc felt And that's why you had burrow a little salty after that win against buffalo saying send them refunds They didn't like that. That was not fair. You had mrs. Blackburn saying i'm not even gonna vote for this because I want it to be more Fair and why I want the right thing to happen and it didn't so that's all Conflated that is all some stuff that they take with them In this world. They don't have control of these bangles players. But what the mayor said the burrow had thing It obviously is something that's gonna fly it affected the chief's players. I do think it elevated the chief's players I think every player out there you can say what you want They all want to win but they all have their own personal motivation to you south christ jones christ jones wants to win But christ jones is an all pro bonafide guy. He doesn't what does he have in this? He had a thing with burrow from the last time so a score to settle A little something extra all of these players come on our show and talk about these plays that keep them up at night And haunt them and these situations that that help help motivate them Uh, and that's what this looked like last night and you have every right bangles fans Older fans newer fans to bandwagon that are a little bit more chirpy. That's what I've noticed today is for that Today is for emotions today is for torched earth like Score torched earth scorched earth whatever you want to do torch it scorch it get rid of it It's my opinion that there are some questionable things happening out there that were Inconsistent if anything and what that tells me and what I think I can say is it's an indication that there is A concern League-wide with officiating that at some point needs to be addressed as I was watching this unfold and hearing the bangles fans It took me back to a week one of our show Sean Payton joins me sits out of nowhere and he starts bringing up concerns that he has About officiating improvements. He wants to happen. He was on the competition committee He said that he dislikes the all-star crews in the playoffs. Let me stop there all star crews, of course You get these hold on you get these officiating crews that are put together for the first time the best of the games they get graded They get chosen to work together, you know It's a chemistry issue at that point. So Sean Payton brought this up early off the jump unprompted So he said that he wants the same crews that they use the regular season Like and you'll think about a guy like Sean Payton. He's watching this last night. Nicole Roby Coleman. I mean, hello He blamed that or he put that on a young official deferring to an older official that he's the chemistry might not be there So it couldn't help but think about that and that conversation that I had on the show With Sean Payton watching this sort of I'll go down last night You know watching these calls these decisions that were totally unprecedented. So it's hard enough to beat Mahomes And this canza city team it is it's impossible. You aren't able to do when the calls aren't going your way So today's the day for being mad for feeling your feelings for letting it out for treating the nfl and then we can get into some of the other Realities of it. You can't put the game entirely on the refs You didn't lose the game before because of the rest even if some of those calls contributed to the failure Of this team to succeed and make it to the Super Bowl the Bengals had chances. It's hard to swallow You don't know, you know It's all emotion-based today. It's heartbreaking the way that things worked out All I can do today is follow What I've followed this entire season is Zach Taylor His lead through the preseason through the regular season through the damar hamlin situation as it was unfolding on the field Zach Taylor is such a good example of what I want to be and when it comes to these situations And he as you can see here did not take the bait and I don't want you guys to either And this is where your character is going to be tested the most in moments like this when it's fresh and raw and Um, you know, you were so close to winning aFC championship back the back Going to the Super Bowl on the road There's been a lot of obstacles thrown in front of this team. They knocked them all down and We just couldn't get past this last one here. And so again, it's just You know, we got great character and and we want to represent our team and our city the right way He could have we've seen him get a little feisty. He could have gone in And he didn't he chose not to it's so hard to get to this point as a team And it's such a huge letdown emotionally, of course, and you everyone saw him on the sidelines He was going nuts and now they go home empty-handed. He's not headed home to Cincinnati to go to some bar where he's going to give them the game ball I don't know this team Super Bowl window This is disappointing what's happening. They have a lot of guys to keep around They've got a lot of things to happen and I'll get into it more later this week This team is one that is set up to go Far to do their thing To be right where they are This year again next year and go even further. It's still just the beginning So take your shots today. Be upset. Drink a beer. Do we need to do like, you know Troll people on social media. Be mad at me because I don't want to like Low than bathe in the officiating be the only thing there are some weird things going on and you have every right to be upset Brenda Marshall I think they're telling me is ready to join the show. So we'll be here Waiting for him to join. I believe we have mr. I am athlete media mogul joining us. Don't go anywhere Let's welcome in a good friend. Not Jalen hurts though. I wish you know, you know Brandon Marshall joining us 13 year NFL pro and good friend of the show Brandon get on in here because you should be smoking a cigar as you picked This team to go of this fall The eagles we're talking about the Philadelphia Eagles When everybody said that Fly fly eagles fly everyone said that I was out of my mind for picking the the the Philadelphia Eagles week three Off to a hot start three and no you have Jalen hurts. Who is this kid? Can we believe the small sample size of five games? When when their guy went down and he stepped in his rookie year. We can't believe that, right? You know Yeah, okay, I see it. Well, I asked this I asked this morning for the shot of for the the clip Of you calling it. Do we have it? Oh no, you said it on our show. They're saying it's on inside the NFL Brandon, you said it on our show the first time you came on our show. You were all in on the eagles. I remember Yeah, yeah, I did but listen. I'll say it again, right? Jalen hurts This guy did it in college. He did it in high school. His father's a coach His dude's a true winner go back to his rookie year those five games It was not a it was not a flaw, right? This dude did it against some of the top defenses. Remember when he did that against the Saints They were top five defense But then other people say well, there was no drew breeze on the other side. Come on This dude's a true true baller and then when you look at the this this offense They can beat you on the ground. They can beat you through the air They have dynamic wide receivers. It really is a unstoppable offense. It's not the most dynamic It's not uh, the most uh, electrifying offense But what it is is efficient. Why because if you put eight people in the box Now you have one on one with the vante smith and also the black batman and aj brown So it's one on one and they're throwing the ball a lot of times a lot of teams have this type of makeup But the coaches are too smart The coaches make it about their offense and not about their players if you have dogs on the outside of x and z Just throw them a go ball throw them a slam throw them a hitch route throw them a nine What they want to do They want to do all these worldly turley routes and they just make it too complicated when you have freak athletes out there That you can just throw the ball up and then on the defensive side, you know You know that off that defense align they get after the quarterback and they can also stop the run when they really want to And they have great, uh, secondary players. So this is a a team that is unstoppable Unstoppable like they can go toe to toe with them the homes you saw last night granted They've got the offensive line. They've got the running backs They're they've been running all over everybody They did it against the number one defense in the Niners like you're saying to the Super Bowl no problem Even after what you saw yesterday, which wasn't that impressive. Let's be honest Yeah, so you're saying yes 100 percent. I mean, you know I just don't see anyone Presenting any type of challenges for any of those guys on the field at all at all What's more concerning to you for the Super Bowl? We know the matchup. It's set They've got a date in the desert during the Rihanna concert Hurts shoulder Or my home's ankle. What's more concerning for the quarterback? I would I would have said uh my home's uh ankle, right? That's why I was high on the bingles and my freaking parlay my my three three leg parlay didn't hit because Because the bingles didn't cover Oh, listen, I took the money line there and uh, you know, and it was because my homes I didn't think that he would be able to be that dynamic. He made big plays He was a true warrior and that wasn't a game There's a lot of athletes that you know go into a game You know banged up and talk it up in the media because they want You know the media to say look at him. He's a true warrior. He's fighting through it. Oh my goodness A legendary story But Patrick my home's dealing with a high ankle sprain like that's that's That's big-time pain right there and and and his pain tolerance is through the roof When he's running out to his left and landing on it, you know on one foot You know, that's a lot and uh, he was able to go out there not only make dynamic plays But he also threw his body on the line You know while he was dealing with that high ankle. So, you know, I would say uh, patrick my homes It's the is the favorite now right because he was able to do that all banged up It really is then you look at and look at that, you know Eagles game that you want to talk about How amazing they were and I mean their defense is killing it their run game and the defense has 78 sacks this season That's third most in NFL history like we should get that out people should be talking about that That's crazy 39 rushing touchdowns the most in NFL history for this year They're doing that and then the Niners team Brock it's her that's awful. It's a 12 game win streak You know and it ends them short of a Super Bowl game and now they got a look to the future So I don't want to lose you know, this is probably the last day we can talk about the Niners for a while Is we're going to focus on these Super Bowl matchup Brock Purdy, this is a ucl. This could be career changing right tray lance. He's coming off an injury next season Um, what did they do at quarterback next year? Like if Brandon Marshall is calling the shots are they? I mean, they are a tom Brady away from winning the Super Bowl. So they have to make the right move Yeah, no, they stay with Brock Purdy, right? Like if he comes back healthy and everything's good and if it's not a tear He'll be back in six to eight weeks from what I'm reading Brock Purdy showed you his value yesterday by not playing when he's on the field Right, they win and they win Multiple games in a row when he's not they get blown out right and there was a lot of talk all year Well, that's the Kyle Shanahan system That's the defense. Look at all the people he has around them. Absolutely But if that's the case then how do they go into a championship game and get blown out when the guy Goes down that early in the game, right? So he showed you his value right there Um, is Kyle Shanahan phenomenal? Absolutely that defense Are they monsters? Absolutely. And do they have some amazing pieces on the offensive side? Absolutely But this kid was the reason why they were in that position And they need him back. He's special I mean, you might miss all of next year. We don't know with the recovery So we'll keep our eyes closed. We have some breaking news to get to but I want your opinion on But I but I I need your opinion on this thing that happened Last night with 58, right? So the chiefs they they beat the bangle This is another Super Bowl for the Patrick Mahomes era and then Mahomes on one leg scrambles for the first down and it is it's so gritty And and this obviously happens and then you've got Jermaine Pratt I don't know if you saw this and what you hear obviously we see 58 58 He touches it. Look at look at look at this. Uh, this bite that I want to show you Let me see Do you guys have a sound bite? What's your question? That's I'm just just would like to know your thoughts about this because I saw your tweet, right? Your tweet said that 58 blew it but every you know, right? There's a lot of calls that went a certain way There's a lot of this Well, just what are your thoughts on this and with what Pratt said to him And if you were his teammate, what would you tell him after the game? Well, he said what we all would want to say I remember Ricky Williams Back in the day 2011 when I was playing for the Miami Dolphins. I was like Ricky You think something's wrong with me? And he was like no brandy You just say what we all want to say and shouldn't say right and that's exactly what this kid just did Every coach every fan every player on the field on the Cincinnati Biggles team Not only wanted to say that they probably wanted to slap him on the side as it But you can't do that, right? And so That's all we saw, you know an emotional player After one of the biggest moments of his football career Just wearing his emotions on his sleeves, you know, they'll get through this. It was a tough situation And at the end of the day, he's right He's 100 right. What are you doing? What are you doing? Okay? How do you do that? I don't know. What did you even if it wasn't the quarterback, what are you benefiting from that? You know what we call those players K? what slow blinkers They're slow. They do like that. They slow we call those players slow blinkers like come on. You can't Make those mistakes. You can't make those mistakes at all But it wasn't all on him. So people putting it all on him Like he blew it. He didn't blow the game and I'm very well plugged in at the Spingles fan base as you know Jamar Chase was tweeting he pointed out the 339s on Twitter The fan base straw and obviously the players they strongly feel that the Officiating contributed to the loss. How do you feel about that? listen Games come down to moments. We say that all the time, right? Oh, well, we lose as a team No, the reality is there's some players that can lose games. Hell, I drop game winning touchdowns before Once before playing against the Patriots, right? But it happens and we got to be honest with each other You know it comes down to three or four moments and when that moment happened You got to stand up and you have to make the play. He didn't make the play So he definitely contributed to it in a major way whether other plays Down the stretch stretch absolutely But that was a big big play because now you put them in field goal position You don't know what can happen with you know six seven seconds on the clock So I I don't want to hear You know that that wasn't a huge play. That's what we're supposed to say as teammates and uh, you know as an organization That's the right thing to do and if I was in that organization, I would say that but internally No, I would be feeling the same way We appreciate your time. Mr. Brandon Marshall. I will see you at Super Bowl Hopefully we'll be together in this same place, which is always a lot of fun and the breaking news I'm just going to tell you on our way out and we love you for hanging out Kelly Moore hired as the Chargers offensive coordinator already. He was like on the shelf for 20 seconds And brought back into the mixer. All right. Good thing for lefties in the national football league. Why not?
