 The Super Bowl is finally here. Welcome to the biggest sports weekend of the year. You're watching Fiddle TV's more ways to win, coming to you here from Radio Row in Phoenix, Arizona. I'm Lisa Kearney here with the team, my guys, in just a few hours. The Chiefs and Eagles will face off in Super Bowl 57 to win one of these. And as they've been doing all week long, these guys are getting you ready to bet. The big game, former NFL wide-out Super Bowl champion. You guys wonder where I got my Super Bowl ring from. It's James Jones' ring. He said he brings it out one week a year. And this is it. Sports ready guys for today. Weaver, of course, our sports talk ready host Andrew Filiponi as well. James, I'll be a swaggy today. You are slagged out today, man. The show is starting off on fire. This is the show to do it, right? But I can't the red. Yeah. You were saving it. It's the bling. Yeah, she's letting the world know who she ruined for today. I love it. I was stealing his ring on the day that I'm wearing my Chiefs' red. That's all good. I bet have not been shy about it all week long. Hey, let's also bring in our NFL expert, Cole Wright, joining us from Chicago to give us his unique take on this matchup as well. What's up, Cole? Cole. Tell James Captain Cage that we want that outfit back. You know what I'm saying? Hey, don't knock the swaggy swag just because you're in the house with a jacket and a hoodie. At least it's the right color, Cole. It's the right color. Hey, and along with our experts, we have some very special guests joining us today. On set, including Packers running back Aaron Jones. Our James Jones is very excited to get into a big conversation with him and, of course, eight-time Pro Bowl tight end Antonio Gates will be here on the more ways to win set as well. Cannot wait to hear what they have to say about this matchup in front of us. We are just hours away from kicking off Super Bowl 57. We better do this thing. More ways to win starts now. And we're going to start this show traditionally. Let's start with the spread, guys. All week long, it's been sitting at one and a half. Still sits there today as we roll into kickoff. The Chiefs, by the way, 7 and 12 against the spread this year. The Eagles 10 and 9. James, since you're so kind to let me wear your Super Bowl ring, I'm going to come to you first. Give us your take on the game. I definitely think that it's going to be over. I mean, you're talking about Patty Mahomes. You're talking about Jalen Hurts and all these weapons that's on the Philadelphia Eagles offense. Obviously, you got Travis Kelsey. But this is definitely going over, but I think it's going to be lopsided. And I know you got your beautiful red on the day, but I think this is going to be lopsided. I think this is going to be a beatdown for the Philadelphia Eagles. I think they put up 38 points in this ball game. Obviously, Patty Mahomes is going to have his answers. They're going to put up some points. But I think there's numbers too low. I like Philly in this one definitely to go over, but to put up some big points. I want Pony to go next. That way I can just squash you both when you're done. Let me start by saying that when the line first came out, as soon as the championship games ended, the Chiefs were a two and a half point favorite. And that quickly got bet to Philadelphia minus one and a half. And it stayed there for the better part of two weeks, which you don't always get that when we're talking about a game that everybody's talking about and everybody's looking to bet on for two weeks. So that is interesting to me that that line stayed firm. I saw a stat today. Jalen Hertz, we all think of him as a mobile quarterback. He has the highest completion percentage in the NFL in the pocket. And I don't think of him as just a straight pocket quarterback, James, you know? But that must mean to me that defenses have to respect his running ability so much that it makes the throws easier from the pocket. And I'm taking the Eagles unless Chris Jones bottles up that Aaron Donald-esque, Reggie White-esque performance from two weeks ago. I think the Eagles win this and win this comfortably, Dave. So all week long. So top that. Yeah, well, all week long, Lisa, their whole reason why they liked the Eagles was their defense and neither of them brought it up because I'd been pounded in their head. And I was taking it easy all week, but since this is our last opportunity to really get the point across, I wasn't gonna do it, but I'm gonna bring out the list. These are the quarterbacks that this Eagles, this great Eagles defense that you guys have been drooling over, have played since week six. Kenny Pickett, Davis Mills, Taylor Heinecke, Maddie Ice, Aaron Rodgers, and the worst season he's had in his life. A combination of Tannehill and Malik Willis, Daniel Jones, Justin Fields, Andy Dalton, who they lost to, Davis Webb, and then Daniel Jones again, and Josh Johnson and a hurt Brock Purdy. And the only good quarterback that they played in that span was Dak, and the Dallas Cowboys scored 40 points on this defense that you says is so good that's not. And now they're playing the MVP in Patrick Mahon, not Davis Mills. So Dave, Dave, Dave. Come on, he's gonna shred them. I hear all that fancy stuff you just brought out, Dave, and them quarterbacks you brought out, right? But we've had these answers the last time Patrick Mahon was in the Super Bowl and he had a Tyreek Hill on the other side of Travis Kelsey. And all week long, all we talked about was can they block the Tampa Bay Buccaneers? And if they can't, it is going to be a long, long day and it's gonna be a lopsided victory. That is this game in a nutshell. If they cannot block them, which nobody, and I don't care who's at quarterback, the guys up front got a block and they have not blocked Philadelphia all year long, Lisa. You know why we play the game? Yep. Is to see the game actually unfold in front of us. And Dave, I love that you came prepared. You know any reason to come in prepared all Sunday. Hey, Cole, what's your take on this game, line sitting at one and a half? Well, when you look at defense, like you said, Chris Jones, this guy's gonna need to have a big game and that's what we've seen from him all postseason long and his demeanor, that calm, cool and collected nature. Well, that's a perfect for Super Bowl Sunday because 60 minutes, once that clock gets going, you have to have that low blood pressure and that's what he has right about now. And you look at the total, I mean, 51 when you're taking a look at games I've gone over that and I'm going with 58 because you look at the last five Super Bowls and obviously some more lopsided than others. You go from 74 all the way down to 16 points but over the last five years, they've averaged just a shade under 45 points per game and Kansas City, they've averaged just under 29 points per game this season and I think that Philadelphia is gonna be able to put some points up on the board and you combine that with what Kansas City is able to do than this one looks like an over for sure. Like we've said all week long, 31, 27, Kansas City, they go on and get the win 58. That's where I'm setting that at. Cole, Cole, I got a question for you. What type of game does Chris Jones have to have for the Kansas City Chiefs to have an opportunity to win this game? Like is it two sacks? Is it five pressures? What like in your mind against that old line, what type of game do you think he needs to have facing Jason Kelsey in that offensive line? I feel like James, he has to be a game record. He has to be that dude who comes in there, looks all the rest of the squad in the eye and says, hey, jump on my back. It needs to be at least a pair of sacks, two, maybe three tackles for loss. Maybe he needs to cause a fumble, but he needs to have that kind of day that he's gonna look back on 20 years from now and say, hey, you know what? I got there and what did I do? I laid it all out there on the field in Kansas City. If they can ride that wave, we know what they'll be able to do offensively. I think it's Kansas City all day, like we said, 31, 27, James. I'll see you after the Super Bowl. Quick response to this, Cole. When you lay your head on your pillow at nine, you see Jason Kelsey and you see Chris Jones. Do you truly believe that that's possible? Hopefully, when I lay my hand on my pillow at nine, I don't see Jason Kelsey or Chris Jones. He's thinking about Isaiah Pacheco. He's got his idea of Pacheco pajamas on. You know what? I love, thank you, Cole. I'm gonna get more from you in just a moment, but I love that you brought up Jason Kelsey because on the Fanel Sportsbook app, one of the most popular prop bets right now is for both Travis Kelsey and Jason Kelsey to score touchdowns in this game. What? Sitting there at plus 20,000. I don't know how they're gonna get that. Hey, you never know. A limelest. Never know. And run. Chris Jones. He's fumbling the end zone or something. Chris Jones sack is right around even money. I mean, it's not a crazy, it's not like a big time juiced bet. I mean, that's almost a coin flip bet right now on Fanel. If you like the Chiefs and Chris Jones. It's tough though because, I mean, I don't know like how many times Jalen Hertz has been sacks this year. I don't know the numbers on that, but you have a big time offensive line and Jalen Hertz can run that equals tough for defensive linemen to really get his hands on them. You know what I'm saying? Consistently, you know? All right, you guys, we're just getting started here on more ways to when you can find those prop bets. And so many more right now on the Fanel Sportsbook app. Great stuff by them. Now we're gonna get to our next segment here in just a moment, but first gotta tell you about the most anticipated kick of Super Bowl Sunday. It is Fanel's kick of destiny for $10 million in bonus bets. Yes, it's happening right now. Rob Gronkowski will attempt a field goal live in the third quarter of the Super Bowl and you can get a piece of the 10 million and Fanel bonus bets just by placing a wager of $5 or more on Super Bowl 57 before kickoff and you're gonna receive a bonus if Gronk kicks the field goal and makes good on the kick of destiny. He promises he is not missing this kick and it doesn't matter if you're new to Fanel or already playing with us. Everyone is eligible. So come on, Gronk kicks you when it's as simple as that limit one per person and then cheer on Gronk in the third quarter as he goes for glory and $10 million for Fanel betters. Just getting started here on Fanel TV's more ways to when we are live from the Super Bowl and coming to you from Radio Row. Thanks for hanging with us here. Coming up next, former NFL tight end and Antonio Gates is sitting right here next to us. Gates an all in eight time pro bowler and knows how to play that tight end position. He's breaking down the Super Bowl with us next. And welcome back, two more ways to win here from Radio Row in Phoenix, Arizona for Super Bowl 57. We are just hours away. We are so close. We're here doing what we always do. We're breaking down the big game and we are so excited to bring in a very special guest to help us do that. I'm excited to welcome in to our more ways to win set former Chargers tight end and Antonio Gates joining us. And Antonio, good to see you. You look great. We're going to get to the game and all the match up and everything. But first of all, you got to know what you've been up to. How are things? Nothing, you know, retirement has been challenging. You know, say the least, but I spent a lot of time with the kids and I'm still involved with the Chargers. So I'm an ambassador with the Chargers. I'm always around the game. I think that's important as a retireer. You need to stay involved in some aspect as much as possible. So that's kind of what I do. Stay around, stay around the game. You know, go cheer on my Chargers as much as I can. And I'm still kind of down about that loss against Jacksonville. So I'm taking it. Yeah, what, you're playing any hoops while you're there in the LAA? No, you know, you know. You ain't even shooting a jump shot? I think I dream of my old days. You know, I'll leave it up to my son. I'm like, you know what? Daddy's done enough. You got it, man. But I think that's such a cool part of your story and very unique. And I don't know if everybody knows that's watching us now. I mean, you didn't even play college football. You were a hooper. You went to the Chargers as an undrafted free agent. So tell us how that evolved for you. Your pro football career. Funny, funny story. Like, it was the craziest, you know, seeing year ever because, you know, here I am at the time, in my mind, at least, I think I'm going to the NBA in my mind, you know what I'm saying? So like any other kid growing up, you got these, you know, these goals and stuff. So, you know, I'm averaging about 20 points a game. You know, you know, the Mavericks was coming in there. The boy, you know, a couple of teams wanted to see me play here and there. But here I am with all these NFL scouts just overwhelmingly come and watching me play. And I can't figure out like, why are y'all even here? You know, like who y'all come to see? So I guess what it was was, I guess I went to school and played for Nick Saban initially. So I guess Nick Saban put it out there that I was one of the better players in the draft that year. And then all these guys start coming to watch me, right? Ironically, they all come and watch me play. But what it was doing, it was throwing me off because it was kind of like scaring the NBA guys away who I wanted to really go. Like that's what I wanted to do. And I always make the analogy. It's like, you know, like the prime, you got a date that you want to go with and then I want to go with you, you know? So football wanted to go with me. Everything I had done was great. Great size, great speed, great agility, great height. You know, basketball was kind of like, ah, can you do that again? What position you play? You know, you're gonna be, so it got to a point where as anybody you got to make a choice as you, you know, make that turn from college to the real world. And football was just overwhelmingly wanting me and I was just like, all right, let me get this thing to try. And when I did it, I gave up on so much that I put into it the game of basketball where it had to work. I had no plan B at that point. That was my plan B. So now here I am trying out for the San Diego Chargers at the time with no, you know, that's it. If you don't do this, you're going back to Michigan. So I'm going out of practice and training camp the first week and dislocating my finger and I'll say, hey, put that back together. I can't go home. I ain't got nowhere to go. I ain't got nothing else left. So it ended up working out and I look up and just snowballed. I mean, I went from a Pro Bowl and as a starter to a Pro Bowl and another Pro Bowl and I look up and records and I'm just like, they like, you know what you're doing? And I'm like, no, I don't. I'm just playing, you know? So it was great. Your story is so inspiring. I love to hear. I mean, the inside stuff is the best stuff, but man, congratulations. That is just awesome. Plan B is it was a great plan A for you. You're like, this annoying girl won't leave me alone. Fine, let's go. Fine, let's go. Yeah, exactly. That's amazing. Man, so you played the tight end position, obviously, at a very high level. You see these tight end, you national tight ends day. Everybody got t-shirts on and all that type stuff. But if we're going to keep it 100, right? You started this gangster stuff. And what I mean by that is route running, releasing at the line of scrimmage. The basketball release at the line of scrimmage. No disrespect to the other greats. But Tony Gonzalez wasn't doing that. None of these tight ends was doing that until you came in the game. And now you see the George Kittles, the Mark Andrews, the Travis Kelsey. You see these dudes now, especially the Kelsey. You see him with the wiggle like he or why. You started that. Does it make you feel good, number one, like man, these dudes was watching me. You know what I mean? Does it make you feel good, like, amen, the tight end position has involved. And I really started that lining up out there at the wide receiver position, really running wide receiver routes. And I want to know your take on who is your top three in the game, right? Well, I think what happened, you know, it was funny because when I was doing it, I never could see this happening. I used to get cursed out so much for doing all these. The same stuff that you see Travis do, believe it or not. I took all the bad parts first. Because I was doing things in the game that was off-platform actions. Off-scrippin' off. You know what I'm saying? So they were like, what was you thinking on that? And I was like, I really wasn't thinking. I just know that Troy Palamallo was sitting at 16 yards and I ain't going over there. Or Bob Sanders sitting over here at 8. You know what I mean? So I played against those kind of safety. Bob was over here. Sean Taylor was over here. Roy Williams was. I mean, I just seen Dawkins back there. They were knocking people heads off back there. So it wasn't, you had to kind of finagle your way. And I didn't have no, it would be equivalent to no credit. I didn't have these bad credit from these different colleges. So I was creating my own. So when Coach told me to do something, I generally took it to heart. Like that's what I had to do. Most guys come from these big programs. You're fighting with some things that they've learned from these big USC or University of Michigan. They've learned things for four or five years and now they're trying to change. I didn't have nothing. I was off-script with everything. And I remember getting cursed out about the same thing. And you know, I would go have 10 catches, 160 yards, grading out terrible. You're going to go down off with you. I'm in there like, you just did, I was just terrible. I told you to go 14 yards, you went 12. I told you to do eight, you went four. And then what it became is it became more of a, wait a minute, does guys having success in the game? In a game setting? Yeah. And I always revert to the idea of the enemy of great is good. You know, they wanted me to be good. We had guys that did everything good. And they just, at the time, I was just blowing them away with, and I didn't know it. So I'm only saying it now. Hindsight, looking at it, I didn't know at the time because I was getting cursed out so much in every meeting. You know what I mean? I didn't even know, I was in my fourth year pro, like when the fourth straight pro bowl, in my mind they bought the cut me, you know what I mean? It was that kind of pressure. I was like, I just signed a big contract but I think they about to let me go. So I never was aware and that was our generation. We never knew the power that we possessed. Like these kids now, they get drafted, they come in with the notion that, oh, I ain't getting cut. We didn't have that. You know, Phillip didn't know because he was number one pick overall, number three or whatever. He didn't know he had that power. We made it where it was a chain of command. And so it ended up evolving into do it like Gage. It became more of an atlantic idea. Okay, you one on one, win, win. Yeah, you know what I'm saying? And I would always just, my gift was because I was able to play the game of basketball, is I'm able to move you wherever I need you to be. And if you turn your hips, I'm coming out of it. Once you turn, I mean, it might be short, but I'm a kid. As long as you played in the same position. So you can hear it, you can hear the language when you know how to get open. The minute a guy get up, I get to a position, he turns his hips. I'm coming out of my, I'm coming out of my cut. I'm coming out of my break. And all I ran was a corner, corner post. And you couldn't really stop it. Real quick, I know they want to get in on that, but I just want to backtrack real quick because it was a really good point. So like, we used to get graded every game, right? So like if you messed up, if you were supposed to be like a number split, or your route was supposed to be 12 yards, or you run the wrong route and still get the ball score touchdown, your coaches are docking you for that, right? So you, like he said, you could come out of the game and have three touchdowns, 150, and walk in the meeting on Monday and coach, like you had a losing performance. Yeah, yeah. And you're like, what? I just want people fantasy. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you're right. I got a little buzz, but it's crazy just how, you know, hey, you got to go off script. I was always off too, plus four, you know, the balls in the middle, the hands, I mean, I be like, shoot, I got to get inside. You know, see, that's why you laugh because you know. So yeah, it ended up being a trend. Yeah, at least I watched God's now and I watched him run that little pivot route and things of that nature. I had no one to watch. I had no other tight end to watch because the guy gave the guy gave me. I wasn't able to say, okay, this is what Tony is doing because we are games were so different in reality. Although he performed at a high level, it just wasn't the game wasn't the same for us. Your numbers were insane off the charts. 955 catches, 11,841 yards, 116 touchdowns, and next year you'll be eligible for the Hall of Fame. So we couldn't say this year Hall of Famer Antonio Gates, but I think we will be saying that next year. Wow. Wow. Like I said, man, I still haven't truly wrapped my head around it all. Even when I was like, you know, breaking milestones and I was playing, I just, it's like a surreal moment sometimes because, you know, when you're doing it, you're like so close to the forest to see the trees. And I never dreamed of it either. So it would be like a, it's a wild fantasy for me because I never was like, I want to play the game of football. I want to be this version. But what I did do is I took every ounce of detailed things that I knew to compete and I put effort into it. So like talent was like the floor, but my maximum effort of what I wanted to do after a while, I just said, these guys are depending on me. You know, we play together. So you come in and the script was Gates, Gates, you know. So now I got receivers mad. They were all mad at me for 10, 15 years. I have to understand like these guys, you know, they depend on me. So that meant to me, the guys that I played with and going out to produce and perform for them meant more to me than anything. Then the accolades and it ended up, you know, obviously, you know, stacking up with the performances and things of that nature. Antonio, are you picking in Kansas City because of Travis Kelsey then? No, no, no, no. I told you, I have a history, you know, with the Eagles head coach and Eagles offensive coordinator. So I think they are very deserving of the championship just because I've watched them work, you know, like even before they got to Philadelphia, just the day in and day out and the game plans that they put together and the countless hours of them staying overnight and not going home. And I think that's what people don't see. They see the surface level stuff. But I know, I actually seen Nick had an interview and I just watched his face. I'm like, he probably ain't slept since Monday. You know what I'm saying? Because it's like a lot of work put into game planning. So I know that they do that and I know they do it well. So I'm really running out of room for the Eagles this year. Hey, we appreciate you and I know Lisa going to wrap it up. But 955, I know you got one more game left to get to that G now. Yeah. See, I miss a lot of games. I miss a lot of games, man. We were winning, you know. So I'll miss, you know, the end of the season, game week 16, get ready for the playoffs. And now it's coming back. But what's crazy though is when you look at that, like even with my career, I ain't got not even close to the numbers as you, but you think back to the drops. You know what I'm saying? Like, man, if I ain't let them go. I know. Yeah. I'll see you up here. Absolutely. Anthony, you did all right. You're a free time pro bowler, free time all pro. We'll see you in the hall of fame very soon. Thank you so much. Appreciate you being here. That was awesome. Love having him on the show. Great, great guy. Great insight there from Antonio Gates. And we have another great guest coming up right here on more ways to win. Packers running back. Aaron Jones in the house. We're going to get to him. We're going to get his thoughts on the Super Bowl matchup. Plus, you know, we have to ask him about Aaron Rogers future and a certain dark adventure coming up for AR 12. That's coming up. We're coming back after a quick break. Welcome back to more ways to win. Everybody coming at you here from Radio Row in Phoenix. Being on Radio Row has been a phenomenal experience. This is our second year in a row. And we've had some really big time guests on this show with us this week from NFL Hall of Famers to current all pros. We heard some great stories. Got all that inside information as well. Also, of course, they're Super Bowl picks. So what we're going to do right now is take a look back at some of the fun we've had with them this week and recap their Super Bowl winners. I think it'd be Kansas City. I say Kansas City because I want Kansas City to win because I got like one of my young guys, Brian Cook, on the defensive side. You know, we went to the same high school and, you know, being able to see me and him have some success in the NFL, he'll never get a ring. It'd be dope for our school and for our city. So that's really like the only edge for me to say like I want Kansas City to win. Your heart ended a little bit. Boy, I'm there. I want him to snap and I want him to feel that feeling. And he can let me know. So when it comes time for me to have that feeling, I can do the same thing. So how do you see this one going? You got a big time defense with the Philadelphia Eagles, a bunch of pass rushers, Fletcher Cox and them boys coming. You got Chris Jones on the other side. How do you see this game playing out right here, especially in the trenches because that's where you played it at. That's first one come down. I mean, I really like Phillies defense. I really do. But it's tough to go against my homes and any read, you know, the better quarterback and coach combination tend to work it out. And, you know, but I love jail and hurts. I mean, I love, you know, the offensive line for Philadelphia, Lane Johnson. It's just going to be a good one. This is just one of those that I'm leaning towards Kansas City. I think, but I mean, I feel he would not surprise me at all if they pulled it out. He was drafted in the second round when no one expected him to be drafted in the second round. No one even thought he was worthy of being a second round pick. And then his rookie year, everyone thought Carson was the guy. Why are we wasting the pick on this guy when the main thing was Carson had been hurt a lot. You need a quarterback that can come in and make plays for you and need be. But he took the pressure on himself to put extra time and effort to get himself better. And I think what helped him was the fact that he got out of the Alabama bubble, went over to Oklahoma and learned out of Lincoln Riley, was able to go in more of a spread offense, throwing the football and then getting to the NFL was just another opportunity to get better and better. So for Jalen, this is a perfect scenario for him of where he started to get himself in this position. I think Kelsey is the best tight end ever, in my opinion. We're just watching him play, see what he does. The one that's going to have the biggest game, I'm going to go AJ Brown. There you go. So we know who you're taking away. I got the Eagles. You got the Eagles. Who do you think has the edge, receive or core wise in this ball game? I'm going Philly. I think Juju, he's been playing good. But I think Devontae and AJ's been playing great. I think those guys are making them the plays that need to be played and right now I feel like the Eagles have the upper edge. I'm going to go with teams. I think who beat us the worst was Kansas City. We played Philly and Kansas City when I wasn't here. So just going off that, I'm going to go who beat us the worst and it was Kansas City. I think overall I might have to go with KC. I might have to just go with KC. I think run game. Why? Why KC winners? Listen, you played against both of these teams here. So you have it like up close. You've seen it, you know it. KC came out week one last year. And did some tours, you know. So I was just like, seeing that, you just know that they're going to be very well coached, well prepared, Kelsey, my homes. You think they got a chance to block them all, all them boys from Philly? I just feel like they're going to have a game playing ready for it. I know, I know Juju going to step up. That's my man. I know we got that connection from Pittsburgh. So I know how, what his mindset is and how he going to come to play and even blocking and just being a team player total. So I think run game Philly, but I think I have to go with KC. You got Jalen Hertz, you got Patty Mahomes. Who do you give the advantage to at the quarterback spot? You know, they both different quarterbacks. Yeah, I think, you know, just based off of experience, I think you got to go with Patty. You know, he's been in multiple Super Bowl before. And you know, he knows what it's like, but you know, Jalen is a great player. He's a great quarterback. You know, he's mentally strong. He's played in big games before in college. So I'm sure this, you know, this stage at this level won't phase him at all. If I was a bad man, I bet on the Eagles. I know it's Kansas City. Come on, come on, come on. I'd have to bet on the Eagles. I think, you know, Kansas City's beat up a little bit. They had a few injuries last week and I just read something that they got a few players sick. But I think the Eagles are, you know, healthier. I think, you know, their depth is crazy in the D line. So I think the Eagles are going to pull this one up. I'm going to say Eagles, but if my home's magic is great. I like my homes. I can never bet against my homes. I would never bet on a game. I tell you what, if I didn't cut Micah and JJ off, they would still be talking. Oh, yeah. They would still be talking. That was so much fun. Yeah, absolutely. We needed the ding, ding, ding. Like the ding. I know. It's a split. Just four to four. It was four to four. There we go. Even though he made, Parsons made it sound like chiefs, but ended up saying Eagles. That's what's up here. Two, two. No. All right. Split. No. Don't have to give it about Cole. Three, two. Oh, Cole. Another great guest coming up on the show.

It's been an awesome week here in Phoenix with all the biggest stars in town. And I say that only to set up our next guest here. I'm so excited to welcome in Green Bay Packers running back, Aaron Jones joining us. How are you doing? Thank you. Looking great. Looking sharp. How are you feeling? We're going to talk about the game. We'll get into all the matchup stuff in a moment. But what have you been up to? How's your off season? Off season's been good. Back to training really never took any time off. Just kept lifting, you know. Because I rather not stop, just keep it going and keep working. You know, keep building on it and stacking success. Sound like the guy next to you. I want to congratulate you on a huge season. I want to get your numbers right because you had a career high. 1,121 rushing yards. A great season for you, obviously. But then you balance that with the fact that it wasn't collectively the season you guys wanted there in Green Bay. You didn't make the playoffs. How do you feel about a season like that when you come out of it and go like, man, I did my thing. But we didn't as a team. Looking back on it, you know, we started off slow, like you said. It wasn't how we wanted it to go. But I felt like once we found our identity, we started clicking and we started clicking at the right time when everybody counted us out. And we made a run and came up one game short. We were right there. So I was definitely proud of my guys more than anything for being resilient. We never quit. We never gave up. Even when people counted us out, we showed up every day. We worked and we kept fighting. So for any, all of that, I'm more proud of that. I'm more proud of them and myself than disappointed or anything. First off, Brad, respect to the logo on your T-shirt, man, because, you know, I heard you get up there and talking and say that, you know, you could do a bunch of great things on the field, man. But you know, if you don't really change no kids' lives or be able to go out there and help kids, you know what I mean? You really ain't do your job. So congrats on that. But I want to talk to you a little bit about the season, man, because when I look at the roster, the roster of the Green Bay Packers is stacked. Now, everybody can have their opinions to where they need a number one receiver or another big time guy, you know, to go with the youngsters and all that. And you got a really good running game with you and AJ Dillon. But what do the Packers got to do to get to this game? We just got to execute. That's what it comes down to, executing those big moments, key situations, you know, come down to those little details. And it really shows, it really comes out in those games when it's high intensity, win or go home. You're getting everybody's best ball. So you got to be ready to play your best ball and mistake free and go cut it loose and play complementary football. Aaron, there was another show on this set earlier in the week that asked your quarterback what was next from the soft season. And he said, four days in isolation, dark room, no technology, pitch black. He's going to use that to find the answers that he's looking for. Have you tagged, are you going to tag along? Are you in on that? What's the deal? If I was invited, I'd try it. You'd go, you'd show up. I only think I'd last like a couple of hours. A couple of hours. I didn't know dark room. Thanks, sir. What if he comes out of those four days and says I'm done, you know? I'm going to ask him to go back in there for four more days. You say. OK. All right. All right. Do you think, Aaron, you've got a good relationship with him. You've played with him for so long. Are you trying to talk him into playing? Are you comfortable saying, hey, man, let's run it back next year? I definitely am comfortable with saying that. But right now I'm giving him a space. He on his four day, you know, giving him a space. But no, I definitely will reach out and let him know. We'd love to have you back. We want to play with you. You know, you're our leader. You bring so much to the table for us. And, you know, it's going to be, it's hard to replace somebody like that. Now, now I want to jump in here because a lot of people watch the TV copies of the game. And they say, dang man, Aaron Rodgers falling off. You know what I mean? Wasn't his best year stats wise and all that. But obviously playing the game, right? Just like anything. When you thought you had a bad game, you came in on Monday and coach like, you did your thing. You like what? You know what I'm saying? So the fans is watching it like, man, Aaron Rodgers, you know, had an off season. But I've seen throws to where I'm like, he ain't lost nothing. So when you guys came into the meets on Monday and looked at the tape, does 12, is 12 still 12? 12 is still 12. 12 is still 12. I've seen, like, I see it every day. So he's still 12. He's still making throws. He can still move. You see him scrambling a little bit, running. And he's having fun out there. He's having fun. He got a little banged up this year. But with his thumb and stuff. But even with his thumb, he's still throwing the ball well. You're saying 12 is still 12. And you're not the only one seeing it, because all these teams are out there saying, hey, come on over. Hey, we'll take some Aaron Rodgers on. How does that make you feel? Are you about day five after that dark period, you're going to step on his door? Hey, we're still here too. Come on, brother. I'm not going to step on his door. How does it make you feel, though, to see him being, like, actively recruited to go somewhere else? I don't like it. I don't like it at all. That's my quarterback. And I want him to stay with us. But as other players should, they should try to recruit for their team. So to each his own. But that's my quarterback. We know that that's what you want. And hopefully that happens for your sake. If it doesn't, you got Jordan Love waiting in the wings. Would you embrace him as your guy and let's go? I mean, would I? Of course. I've already embraced Jordan. That's my guy. We get to work a lot during OTA. A-Rod's not there. So I'm working with him every day. I'm just getting it in. And I've seen Jordan make a tremendous jump this year. He's ready. He's playing with confidence. And I think that was just the last thing. He just had to get out there and play with that confidence and let it hang. Let it hang out in. You've seen that in him. Even when he got his chances to play this year, I think he went out there and showed that he could do it at a high level. James mentioned this, and I want to highlight it again because the T-shirt you're wearing is really a really big deal. You were the Packers' nominee for Walter Payton Man of the Year Award. Congratulations for that. For anyone that doesn't know what that is, it recognizes outstanding community service off the field excellence on the field as well for your work with the A&A Foundation. Can you explain to people what that is, the work that you're doing? It's something that's really awesome. Yes, ma'am. My family's foundation, A&A, stands for Aaron and Alvin. A&A all the way, we give back to underserved communities. We work with military families as well. And then children in general, you don't have to be underserved. And we do different things in the community like from giving out bikes, like bikes on Christmas, turkey drives, free camps. With the military, if somebody's parent is overseas and they come back, we'll rent out like the movie theater or trampoline park for them so they can bring their friends and the rest of their family and enjoy that moment. Some now remember like my parents were in the Army and they would deploy and come back and that first day back is like the best day ever. And then just also giving them coping mechanisms and things, how to help them, because we were once there. So just being an open book for the kids and being a resource in the community in many different ways. You're the best. That is so awesome. All the important work we talk about on the field and all the stats, that's the real stuff, like JJ talked about. That's really, really cool. Absolutely. So number one, we're going to have to collaborate because Love Jones for Kids, a jump in that. Oh, let's do it. Let's do it. Let's do it. Some foundation stuff with you. But each year, at least me and I know you as well. You're my brother from another mother. But each year we go into the off-season and it's I got to get better at this. You know, this is something that I want to bring to the football field next year. When I turn on the tape, like, yeah, that's something I worked on. Is it something in your game that each year or particularly going into this off-season where you like, hey, I got to get to the grind on that and get better at that? I just want to get a little bit stronger. You know, when I get downhill, when I get vertical and get downhill, I want them to feel me as well. You know, they coming up trying to hit me. I want them to feel my shoulder. I want them to feel that too, not just have the ability to run around people. I mean, I can't drop my shoulder pads. I've done it, but I want them to feel it and like, okay, we don't want to hit him. I would say catching the ball downfield a little bit. Just continue to work that. We had Micah Parsons sitting where you are. And he's rooting for the Eagles because of Division Pride. I kind of had that too. Now, I saw you guys, when the Vikings lost, your teammates were excited. It seemed like, okay, we're going. Misery loves company. If we're not going to win, I'm happy that they're out. So James said NFC Pride. Does that mean you're rooting for the Eagles and think they're going to win? Are you a conference man? I am a conference man. I've been saying I'm going for the Eagles all week. Although I would like to see my boy, MVS, get him a ring. He came close in Green Bay and he's finally gotten to this game. So it'd be nice to see him get one, but I'm going with my conference. NFC, we rock. Aaron, I thought we had a thing. I thought we were like, good. We're like, no, we can do something. Oh, we're great. All the community service. So I was coming out. We were going to, with the kids. We're great. Dang. It's okay. Neither one of my teams, so. Appreciate you. Thanks for being here. You look great. Thank you. Good luck next season coming off a career a year. Aaron Jones, appreciate you being here. Thank you all for having me. We're back after a quick break. And look who's decided to crash the more ways to win party. Finally, Chad Milman, the chief content officer of the action network has joined us all year long, giving us his amazing research and best bets. Of course, welcome in Chad. I'm going to ask you to give me your two best bets for this Super Bowl matchup. Let's get to your first one. All right. Look, I don't want to be a coward, but I'm not going to take a side. And last week I talked about the total in this bet. And like in the under this bed is somewhat correlated to like in the under. I think that we are looking at a game script in which both coaches will probably not be very conservative. And so when we are talking about field goals, will both teams kick a field goal of 33 yards or longer? I'm going to say no. And I will tell you that this is an old wise guy stand by. They love betting this field goal prop. It historically caches, but we're talking about coaches who like to go forward and forth down in the red zone, especially even on the opposite side of the field. So if we're looking at fourth and mid range, I think they are more likely to go for it from say the 35, the 25, then actually kick a field goal. So I like a no on will both teams kick a field goal of more than 33 yards. One more thing I'll say. Harrison Bucker, 47% of the games did not. He only kicked a field goal of that long in 47% of the games. Jake Elliott, 33 yards or more. Only 33% of the games. Okay. There you go. A great info on insight on that one. What's your second one, Chad? Miles Sanders to lead the game in rushing. Look when the Eagles are trailing by less than seven or leading by less than seven, then his Russian percentage, the carries that he is carrying the ball, the percentage of times he is carrying the ball, 79%. His only real competition in this game is Jalen Hertz. And he outrushed Jalen Hertz in 13 of his 17 games this year. And if you look at the betting boards and you correlate the price on him leading the game in rushing with what his rushing total yardage is, you like the price on him leading the game in rushing a little bit better. Okay. I love it. Enjoy the game, Chad. Super Bowl 57 coming at us in just a few hours now. And I have to say this. You're a Bears fan. James is a former Packers. So there's a bit of a built-in rivalry there. James, I got to get your take on Chad's picks here real quick. What do you think? You know, I don't think... A few goals in Miles Sanders. I know you like Miles Sanders. I don't think I like these picks all year long. You know what I'm saying? But anytime... This is the closest the Bears get to the Super Bowl right here, James. Anytime he got an eagle in there, and I think the Eagles are going to win, I'm riding with you this week, Chad. All right, awesome stuff, Chad. Thank you for joining us. I'll talk to you later. He's like, ah, so much more to say. You can get more of Chad's insight by listening to the favorites podcast wherever you get your podcasts. Make sure to download the Action Network app as well. Expert picks, live scores, stats. Chad's the best. Appreciate you always. And as we wrap up our final show here, getting you ready for the Super Bowl, I have got to just get it to my guys. Let me know who is winning Super Bowl 57. And if you've got a score, lay it on me. I'm not coming to you, James. Not first, Pony. I'm surprised you haven't cut his mic on the show this week. That shows your kindness. I like the Eagles to win the game by 10 points. So my prediction right now is 34-24 Philadelphia. I think some of those chiefs points too might be kind of garbage points. I think they'll build a big lead. I think they'll do it with Jalen Hertz, looking like the player he was back in September and October. James has been begging that we come back and do a show next week. You're going to be glad we didn't because you would have been, sorry, Dave. I apologize. Chiefs 38-27. James. Dave, if the chief scored 38 points, I'm telling you, like Cole said, you're going to get some Jordans. But I got the Philadelphia Eagles in this one. 38-17. Cole, real quick, who you got in the Super Bowl on Sunday. Good. Dennis, let's go. That's what we are saying. That's what we are saying. So good. So good. You know how I'm rolling. All right, everybody, thank you for joining us from Radio Row here in Phoenix, Arizona. Getting you ready for the Super Bowl. Enjoy the game. We'll see you next time.
