You're really going out on a limb, aren't you? Live from the Rich Eisen Show studio in Los Angeles. Hey, listen, the Eagles are really good, but I also chose... Oh boy, are they? I chose the Chiefs.

The Eagles are going to have to be up by at least 30 points. Earlier on the show, hosted pro football talk, Mike Florio. Coming up, Fox Sports NFL analyst, Julian Edelman, University of Washington head coach, Jed Fish. And now, it's Rich Eisen. Our number two of the Rich Eisen Show is on the air.

844204 Rich is the number to dial here on the program. We've got a poll question out that I'd love to check on on top of our number two after we just said goodbye to Mike Florio on our number one. And we'll say hello to Julian Edelman in 20 minutes time right here. We've got a Super Bowl MVP coming up on this program. Chris Brockman, I asked at the top when I was caping for Josh Allen, despite seeing so many people out there point a finger of blame in his direction as to the reason why they were losing or they can't get past the Chiefs, who would you take to win their first Super Bowl first? Josh Allen or Jayden Daniels? What are the current poll results right now here?

What would you say before I tell you the results? Josh Allen. You would say Josh Allen, yes. And so does everyone else. 72% Josh Allen.

Okay. 28%. I'm looking for the recency bias. And that the, you know, hey, commanders don't have to get past Mahomes until they see Mahomes in the Super Bowl.

They could make it easier. That's why I said win the Super Bowl first. Because I think if we just said make a Super Bowl, people would choose Daniels over Allen. You got to win it. I put up one yesterday, too, when we were talking about like snake bitten teams. Bills or Lions, who wins one first? I was kind of surprised.

The Bills were 60% out of that with almost 3,000 votes. Let's take a quick phone call here. Tony in Toronto, Canada. Tony, here we go. What's up, Tony? How are you, sir? Hey, Rich. How are you? I'm good. I'm enjoying the program. I enjoy it very much. Appreciate it. If I'm not mistaken, Toronto is Bills country, correct? If you have to choose one? Oh, absolutely.

I'm a Cowboys fan, but I very much like the Bills as well, especially during the Jim Kelly era there. Okay. That was a dynasty club, unfortunately.

Miss Q's goalpost, would I feel goalpost? Some other stuff. Otherwise, that's a dynasty club in itself.

Getting back to the topic, K.C. versus Buffalo, they're very evenly matched. I think Allen is missing a, let's say, elite wide receiver in the likes of Jamar Chase, C.D. Lamb.

One of these guys that could really stretch the field. I think he really, really needs that. Now, what transpired, I think you guys, while I was on hold, mentioned it. They got out-coached.

Andy Reid, Espanolo, the defensive coordinator there, they really showed their elite coaching abilities. And I think that made the difference. Yeah, I hear you. I don't think that's where the changes are going to get made in Buffalo, nor should they be. I don't know.

You don't have too many Andy Reeds and Espanol available. That's correct. Right.

But if you ask someone right now what made the difference, I think that was the difference. And you've got to recognize those two gentlemen for the excellence in their profession that they do. So I'm going to test your Canada niceness before I let you go, Tony, to try and help T.J. Jefferson, fellow Cowboy fan. Now, you, Tony, you're a Cowboy fan who lives in Toronto, who also likes the Bills due to the proximity and obviously enjoying them. So who are you rooting for in the Super Bowl, Tony? If you're a Cowboy Bills fan, you've got Chiefs, Eagles. I can't imagine that you're and so T.J. has no problem rooting for the Chiefs. I imagine you might.

You know what? I don't and I'll tell you why. OK. I don't mind if Eagles win, but I think the class people that are on KC2, they deserve to go into the history book of getting those three back to back to back Super Bowls.

OK. So that's why I think I'd like the Chiefs to get it because, you know, Mahomes is a class guy. He's a humble guy for the elite quarterback that he is and some of these other players that are not humble. He's very humble, very professional. So accolades to him and Coach Reed. And that team, you can tell, is very professional. Less penalties than most.

They're very disciplined. OK. I didn't like what Kelsey did the other year when he bumped things.

But anyway, that can happen, I guess. All right, Tony, I was testing your Canadian niceness and you passed the test. Because I think TJ Jefferson has a big problem with you saying that you don't have a problem with the Eagles winning. But I appreciate you calling, Tony. Confirmed that Tony's Canadian. I did. I think you did.

Very nice. Tony doesn't have my background in terms of he hasn't had to deal with the Steelers and the Eagles fans his entire life the way I have. This is personal, like. Yeah. Mariachi Band personal.

I mean, before that, Mariachi Band's the least of my concerns, dog. Like, I got to go back to Pennsylvania at some point. You know what I mean? I do know what you mean. You got what I mean? The East Coast.

You know what I mean? Eagles, Chiefs. There's a new Chiefs fan in that picture. And it's not the Mariachi Banders or me. It's TJ Jefferson. Hey, man.

You and Stonestreet are just going to be thick as thieves, Super Bowl week. Again, I'm into history. I love greatness. I want to see history made. Suddenly he's a history buff.

Wait, time out. Suddenly all I talk about is a team that hasn't won a Super Bowl in three decades. Of course I'm into history.

Suddenly you got Ken Burns over there in the corner. That's what I'm all about. We got a sports documentarian over there.

Love it. OK. Deep into steeped in the history of the game.

That's what he's into. Yeah, I don't know anything about history of anything. Not at all. No, no.

Not me. Eight four four two oh four rich number to dial. Let's talk about a couple of coaches that got introduced.

Let's do it. Yesterday with a couple of one word outbursts. One from one of the coaches introduced. One from the audience. This is great stuff. Pete Carroll in the midst of his introductory press conference as the new H.C. of the Las Vegas Raiders back in the NFL as a hire by Tom Brady.

Can't make this stuff up. The quarterback whose team prevented Pete from being a back to back Super Bowl winning champion and a dynastic coach in this league. At any rate, this is a fun moment from the press conference in Vegas. We do want to fill our stadium up with our guys.

I know that we have a good draw for people from out of town. There you go. There you go. That's what I'm talking about. Now, you might be sitting there wondering, was that one of these diehard fans that he's hoping to fill up the stands?

Sure. Actually, that was Marshawn Lynch in the back of the room screaming that out at his old coach. And this just goes to show you a couple things here. This is what you're going to get with Pete Carroll. You're going to get Pete, he's fully aware, OK, that the 12th man in Seattle was significant. He understands he's going to a spot in Vegas where, let's just say the 12th man has been more than not the first man of the secondary ticket market when they come to Las Vegas to hang out for a weekend and watch their team play the Raiders. And he's kind of already calling it out that they need to create their own home field advantage in Las Vegas. And I, first of all, I love that he's as aware as they come and he's trying to plug in and on top of it, he's bringing Marshawn Lynch with him.

And what I'm saying, bringing with him, not on his staff, I'm just saying kind of who's perfect for Vegas? You know what I mean? Like where you're bringing a bit of the circus is coming.

Marshawn and his energies bouncing off the walls and relating to the scene and creating his own scene and the energy of the city might be plugged into the franchise. I don't think I'm making too much of it here that he kind of gets it in a way. And in the same way that you think someone at age 73 going to Vegas is probably sitting there in a slot machine constantly pushing that button. You see those videos of those people, right?

Just constantly hitting those. He's just the one who keeps on hitting the buttons to try and push the buttons to get the money to come out of the machine with his players. And he's bringing some championship quality to it. Who else is bringing Marshawn Lynch into the Las Vegas Raiders fold?

Am I wrong? I don't know if he's around the team. He's just bringing his own style here. He finished his career with the Raiders, right?

I don't know here. When I saw that, I'm like, things get loose with Pete a little bit. But he's also bringing the culture to keep things nice and tight.

The more I think about it, like a perfect hire, I have no idea, right? I don't think he's lost his fastball. I don't think he lost his fastball at the end of his tenure in Seattle. The Legion of Boom moved on and Russ definitely started declining and they got out from under it.

I don't know, man. Give this guy the quarterback and let's see what goes on. I'm just genuinely concerned he was a quarterback there.

It might be Russ. That would be wild. But yet more of the Pete scene being brought in. It's a vibe change, which I think is what they really needed.

One more thing to just say here. I just remember when Pete showed up in Seattle and we were there on a Thursday night on NFL Network. I think it was the end of the Andy Reid era in Philadelphia was beginning to circle the drain. And Pete's era in Seattle was beginning to get some steam. But this was pre-Russ. Russ wasn't there yet. And we were looking for a guest after that Thursday night win that Seattle had. And we asked for Marshawn Lynch.

He declined. And the only other person we could think of was Pete. I don't remember any other head coach coming to our set on Thursday Night Football. And how many do you see on Prime Video? Because it's the same people who were running that show that were with us at NFL Network at the time, producing it. You could even follow the rundown. I can call out the next segment on Prime Video because it's a similar rundown to the one that we were doing back in the day. How many coaches have you seen on the set of Prime Video after that, right?

Zero, right? But we reached out to him because he was the culture. He was the avatar. He was the guy. And right now, in Vegas, right?

It's him? Again. And this is what you get with him. Him and Brady are really kind of the faces of the franchise right now.

Yeah, pretty much. Gotta get the quarterback. But he's used to it. He's used to coming in and installing a culture and changing it around. And that's what I think Vegas is doing because the owner has been kind of churning. Bring Brady in, let him run the show, bring in Pete. And I know earlier, Floria was saying that could be an awkward conversation if Brady and Pete don't see eye to eye. But I kind of think they're going to see eye to eye more than not. Pete is their fifth head coach since 2020.

Dude, they churned through it. And this guy is, he knows what it's like to change the culture. And he's bringing Marshawn with him. Do you think Raiders fans would beat somebody up for the stability that coach at the Steelers have? That the Steelers fans seemingly don't want? Five coaches in 2020?

No, I know. Obviously Tomlin in Vegas would be a nice fit too. But he had no interest in being traded for. And I have no idea if the Raiders were one of those teams. Another coach introduced on Monday. Liam Cohen, the new HC of the Jacksonville Jaguars. And this moment is being discussed a lot.

Because, well, we'll just play it for you and you'll know why. Jacksonville, the community, do ball. How do we do this together? This has to be collaborative.

I want it to be as collaborative as possible. For us to go to the next level. Take the next step.

And for us to have found a home for the first time in a long time that we can maybe plant some roots and truly be in a community and a family that we love and trust. Kind of had that feel of self-help. You know, come on my seminar.

Kind of like Tom Cruise at the end of Magnolia. You know? Yeah. Thanks for coming to my Liam talk.

Like a tech bro. Not a good start. Plus the way that he arrived there. People are just wondering what's up with this guy who they probably have never really heard of until what happened last year with the Buccaneers and how he was going back there as the offensive coordinator and he was given a big huge contract and then he turned around and pivoted and took the gig in Jacksonville. I think he spoke about that, if I'm not mistaken. I think he did actually talk about that.

Here, hit it. Look, the opportunity to coach in Tampa was a phenomenal one to get my feet wet in the NFL as the offensive coordinator and I thank them so much for that opportunity. As you continue to do more research and gaining more information as you go, it started to become more clear with every hour that this was an opportunity that you just can't pass up. Just to be clear, did this have anything to do with the change in the front office structure? This was completely about an opportunity to work for an owner and a group of people with a group of players that needed some help. That's what coaching is, right? That's what coaching is all about, is trying to go help people and be around people.

No, that was not the factor. Well, I mean, the GM got bounced after he was on Zooms with the owner at the outset of having fired Doug Peterson. He was out front and center. Listen, the guy wins football games and turns Trevor Lawrence around. Guess what? We're not remembering any of this stuff. Honestly, there has been no more, in the last couple of years, awkward introduction than Jonathan Gannon in Arizona, right? We went up to Ron Delmore and pew, pew, pew, pew. Remember that? And then Adam Gase. Even Nick Sirianni's was super weird.

Well, I mean, those were weird. And guess what? Gase became a meme of him with his eyes going around looking at tacos because it was such a disaster there. And as Sirianni is now the fifth youngest head coach to take a team back to the Super Bowl twice, who's remembering Sirianni's opening press conference?

Nobody. And when I met with Gannon and the Arizona Cardinals prior to the Rams and the Cardinals, nobody's talking about pew, pew. Like he's got a full, he's got a full control of that team. They have bought in. They love him.

He loves them. And the Cardinals are pleased, very, very pleased. It's like when you give up a lot for a draft pick or whatever. If it works out, nobody remembers.

But for the moment, though, we have a new drop. Duval. And there may be, that may be applicable for when we talk about the Jacksonville Jaguars. Duval.

Talk about that. Or, you know, hey, who is that golfer who had a nice run with Tiger Woods? Duval. Nice.

Nice. That great actor from the movie. We love The Godfather. Robert Duval. Who is the guy who is, who said he loves Duval. Shelley Duval. Look at that, there's another one. Yeah, who was the guy who said he loved the smell of napalm in the morning?

Robert Duval. We can't, we can't stop. We can only hope to be contained right now.

I hope it works out for him. We're repeating them, so we probably should. Stop. Is that right? Two Robert Duval's.

Actually, actually, I don't mind it. Shelley Duval, then again. Duval.

That's right. Robert Duval, Dan­is, complete olive oil. Shelley Duval! How is he gonna go shining, actually?

Well, I think his first Shelley was for the shining. Oh, get rid of it. See, I can, see. Now you're into it. That's the Letterman style of humor, is to just repeat it, repeat it, and then beat it into the ground it becomes funnier.

That's a shame. Okay, okay, good. We need to get that Raiders by Marshawn. Yeah, we gotta get the Raiders by Marshawn, that's right. So, on one end you got Raiders, and then the other one you're going Duval Duval. Duval. All right, we'll take a break here on the Rich Isaac Show. You know who's gonna join us next? It's Julian Edelman.

Julian Edelman. Let's go. Let's go.

Sing me a song, bro. Last time he was on this show, I was doing shots with him, I think. Yeah. Is that what happened?

The radio audience will rejoin us in a couple minutes time but it's never too early to bring in our next guest courtesy of Angel Soft, none other than Julian Edelman. How are you Julian? What's up, Jules? I'm good. I'm doing well. How are you guys doing?

I'm doing very well. Look at you in that massive chair. That's very, this is very, very nice that you're set up. It's, you know, we like comfort here at Angel Soft.

The little angel of the baby. Is that, okay, very good. I see, is that chair made of Angel Soft? Julian?

No, but if it was, it'd be 10 times better. Ladies and gentlemen, Julian Edelman. What a pitch man. You are just pitching like crazy right now, dude. You guys know what this whole thing is, right?

Go for it. Well, you know that Angel Soft literally is taking a Super Bowl commercial to give you a pot-tunity. You know, a lot of people are always glued to this TV, especially on Super Bowl weekend, for all the ads, the game, of course. Well, Angel Soft's taking the opportunity, or should I say pot-tunity, for you to go and take a bathroom break during their commercial. Nothing will be aired but little Angel Soft floating around, give everyone that break that's a necessity during the big game. Interesting. So, so many people watch the Super Bowl commercials maybe more intently than the game itself. And Angel Soft is now saying, let's use our period of time that we have bought with our hard-earned money and give everyone an opportunity, a pot-tunity to go take a break. Interesting. Yeah, you know, and that's just people helping people. Yeah, it is.

It's funny, I mean, we've all had that moment in our life where you needed it. You gotta go, Julian Edelman, everybody. There may be a team, but he's a team player, even though there's an I in Julian. Back here on the Rich Eisen Show radio network, we are joined by a Super Bowl champion multiple times over, an MVP, and the man who, courtesy joining us of Angel Soft, the great Julian Edelman.

I've now introduced you to the radio audience as well. So Julian, watching these playoffs and hearing that the Chiefs have favor, okay, potentially from a certain striped wearing individual. I'll be honest, Julian, I've heard this story before of a dynastic team being a dynastic, but people not maybe giving them the full flowers they deserve because they think there's a thumb on the scale in their favor with the referees. Would you happen to know which dynasty I might be referring to in that regard, Julian Edelman? You wanna take a guess where that would be? Yeah, the Steelers?

No, not going that far back. Yours, yours. That Brady, oh, all you gotta do is breathe on him. Anybody else gets taken down and there's no penalty. Brady gets breathed on. If you get touched, if Julian Edelman gets touched, here comes the flag.

Your guys could just be draped all over everybody and there's no flag. This doesn't sound familiar to you at all? Not at all?

Yeah, it does, it does. I mean, but it's apparent when you're on top, everyone wants to try to bring you down. It's a bunch of bull loney that the league is helping the Kansas City Chiefs. If you got a problem with it, go beat them, okay?

The refs aren't involved in when you throw interceptions, when you fumble the ball, when you jump off sides, when you don't convert third down or fourth down or third and fourth down for short four times. They can't control that. Like, if you wanna beat them, go beat them. Don't talk about it. Be about it. I'm so sick and tired of hearing people say that about the Chiefs.

Did you, and you did hear that, though? No, no, he's the face of the league, okay? If it's close and you have to think about it, just stop. Okay, you gotta do business as being, do business as business as being done with the referees. We all have scouting reports on each ref crew on how they like to throw the game.

You learn about it during that first part of that game. If they're calling it tight, you tighten back. If they're not, you just hope that they're consistent throughout the whole thing, which they usually are. And yes, they miss calls and they do these things and there's bad calls here and there, but there's a handful of roughing the passes for guys that don't even have a resume that you looked at this year that got the call.

If it's close, leave it alone. Yeah, they'll probably have to address that sideline awareness stuff, but these whole graphics about, oh, they get the call and they don't get the call. They don't give the call to them because they're coached better.

Julian Edelman here on the Rich Island Show, everybody. So when you're watching these Chiefs today, how do they remind you of you and your teams back in the day, Julian? They're situationally tight. You watch them on third down, you watch them in the red area. A lot of these games, when you get to this time of the year, they're not won by the team that makes the most plays.

Yeah, that's part of it. It's usually the team, well, it's always the team that makes the least amount of mistakes, and that's what they do. They play mistake-free, they play situationally tight, and they lull you to sleep, and then they beat you when they need to, and that's stuff that we used to do. So it's been fun to watch them because, hey, that's how football's supposed to look. A lot of these teams that are sloppy, penalties, turnovers, abandoning their run game when things get tough, trying to go for two-point conversions in the second quarter, that's you.

That ain't them, that's you. So how did you guys approach the game in a manner, and obviously it helps to have folks like you and Belichick and Brady, Gronk, I get it, but how do you think knowing what you guys did, Mahomes wasn't maybe yet really Mahomes, but you were part of one of only two teams to go into Arrowhead and beat Mahomes. What do you think the Eagles can affect based on what you were able to do back in the day?

Julian, if there's any connective tissue here that could be drawn. I think they got to do what got them to this point in the season. They're gonna have to establish a run. It's very apparent that when that run game goes, it opens up everything else.

It's also apparent that their drop-back pass game for Philadelphia isn't where it should be for a Super Bowl-winning team, but when you have a guy like Saquon Barkley, who's got eight touchdowns in this playoff run, nine touchdowns in this playoff run, like that's an X factor. They're gonna have to play penalty-free. They can't turn the ball over. We talk about the last time these two teams played in the Super Bowl. Jalen Hurts had such a great game. I mean, he fumbled the ball and they scored on that. You can't go in and think you're gonna beat the champs who are a historically mistake-free team right now thinking you could go out and turn the ball over and squint up when things get tough because they're not going to.

They're used to being uncomfortable. I think that the Eagles are gonna have to play a perfect game. Julian Edelman here on the Rich Eisen Show.

There's so many different ways I can go with you with our remaining time here. Okay, so you catch the go-ahead touchdown in the Super Bowl against the Seahawks, and we all know what happened on the goal line after that to make that the eventual game ceiling touchdown, Julian. If I had told you amidst the confetti that one day Tom Brady would be a part owner of a team conducting a coaching search and his first hire would be Pete Carroll, you would have said what to me, Julian? I would say he's getting a guy that has a lot of continuity that knows this league. He's won in college and in the National Football League who is a stable coach, who has a pedigree, who has a resume, that has a lot of energy.

That's what I would tell you. And that's exactly what Pete Carroll is. You know what you're getting with him. You're gonna have a well-coached team that has a lot of energy that talks about the ball, that's a ball-hawking team, everything's about the ball, a ball-hawking team, everything's about the ball.

I mean, that's all you know about Pete Carroll. And I think it's a good hire. You do like it.

I like it. Okay. And what if I told you that night that one of the reasons why Belichick wouldn't be hired by Brady is because he was the coach of University of North Carolina? I'd tell you, you're crazy. Now that, you're crazy.

Now you would have told me I'm crazy. That was 10 years ago. NIL wasn't there 10 years ago. If there was ever a time for it to make sense, it would probably be right now where college football landscape is. It's basically the minor leagues of the National Football League now where free agencies, the transfer portal, the draft is high school kids. So I think there's a lot more similarities to pro football and college football now than there ever has been.

So it makes more sense now than it would have 10 years ago. All right, what are you doing for Angel Soft? I know you mentioned it for the television side of things, but now that we got our big audience with our radio coming back in, with our Roku audience, go for it, man. You know, Angel Soft's giving everyone a pot-tunity, or I should have said it, I'm sorry, an opportunity to use the restroom during the Super Bowl. They're taking out a commercial ad space to give everyone the opportunity to go use the restroom. We're all glued to the TV for all the commercials, and of course, the game, Angel Soft's using that commercial to allow you to go use the restroom.

Huh? Angel. Oh yeah, my little Angel girl, she's a cutie. That's, okay, that's the mascot, right?

For the radio people, you can't see her, but if you saw her little beautiful face, that little jerry curl thing that she's got, that little flip up, the little halo behind her, boy, does it make you just wanna melt. What a great idea, basically, to say, hey, listen, we're gonna create a commercial to allow everyone to go to the bathroom, courtesy of Angel Soft, and hopefully, we assume that product will be in said facility. Oh, it definitely will be. Okay. I think it's a known fact that Angel Soft's in 99% of all bathrooms.

Let's get it. Potty-tunity is what it's being called. Potty-tunity instead of opportunity. That's why you went potty-tunity, I got it.

Very good, angelsoft.com slash potty dash tunity, or follow all of Angel Soft's socials to get ready for it. I don't know if I've ever asked you this. The Boston Knee Party play, the catch that you made in your Super Bowl win, what was that like in the play?

Well, no, I've heard of it. I've never asked you, walk me through the play. Like, did you know what was coming to you and how you handled it? The ball was there. Were you literally thinking in the middle of it, my God, this catch keeps going on and on?

Like, I don't think I've ever asked your perspective on that one. Yeah, so we were going through situations that we can practice. We had that play call in there. I believe it was bunker or something. And I have a middle read, two safeties.

I keep it thin to the near upright. And we hit that play like twice in practice. We had great execution. So anytime you do that and a call is played, I knew Tom was gonna come to me. So that play, going to that play, I was like, he's probably gonna come to me. I got cover five, two man.

I'm gonna bop him at the top. Unfortunately, that was like our 90th play of the game. And I ran a terrible route.

I made like a banana. And the worst thing you could see on two man is when the inside leverage corner who's trying to funnel you to that safety turns and looks back for the ball because that ball is gonna be on a line. Once I saw that, I went into panic mode, put my foot in the ground, tried to break it up or the game would have been over.

And then one thing led to another. I ended up making the catch. But terrible route.

Needed some Angel Soft because I may have pooped my pants Nice. During watching the DB turn his eyes back to the quarterback on a cover five scene. But we got the job done. So, crazy play. You know, I appreciate you working your sponsorship into the answer. That's why you're next level. Julian, that's why you are who you are. What did Brady say to you when you got back to the huddle after that?

Anything? I think he just said, yeah, babe. Yeah, babe, let's go. We gotta finish it. Oh, nothing like the route.

Nothing like, he just moved on. You know what? If a play works and you do something completely wrong on how it was installed or a coaching point.

Now, if it works, no one says a thing to you. But if I were to have had an interception on that play, probably would have been MF'd and I would add Angel Soft to wipe up my tears. Ladies and gentlemen, Julian Adleman, courtesy of Angel Soft.

I'm watching it right now. It was a terrible route. And I don't know what you were doing. Banana route. Unbelievable.

Well, I mean, you certainly stuck the landing. No doubt about it. Are you, am I seeing you in New Orleans? You going? You're gonna be there? I'm going to New Orleans. I'm covering the game with Fox. We got a three hour pregame coverage. I'm excited about that. It's going to be fun to talk about the Super Bowl for the first time at the Super Bowl.

Have you never done that yet? Wait a minute. That was like a network. Okay. I thought you'd been with Fox long enough that this might be your second Super Bowl, but this is your actual lining up with a broadcast team to do this thing. I've been with Fox for two years.

We didn't have, I think another team had it last year. Okay. So now that we have this year as Fox team, now we all get to come in and spit some dimes, knowledge. I think, I mean, I don't know. I think there's a couple of special guests.

I don't know. I'm sure. And the fact that Brady's calling it, you and Gronk are part of different pre-games and posts and stuff like that. It's pretty cool, man. It's pretty cool. It's pretty cool.

Very cool. Good to chat with you, brother. Always great to see you. I'll see you down there. See you, buddy.

All right, boys. You got it. That's Julian Edelman right there, the Super Bowl MVP, and also an Angel Soft MVP right here on the Rich Eisen Show. There he goes, working in his sponsorship. Isn't that amazing?

Pro move. The play that is easily one of the things that gets brought up when you talk about Edelman in the Super Bowl is born out of a botched route because it was snap 90, right? Yeah, the funny thing is- In a game where they didn't make up all for that lost ground so they were snapping the ball and getting the ball back and making the comeback. 220 to go in the game, first down. Unreal.

Unbelievable. All right, we will take a break right here on the Rich Eisen Show when we come back. I believe we've got overreaction Monday on a Tuesday.

And then when I asked if raising prices technically violates those onerous two-year contracts, they said, what the are you talking about?

Speeds lower above 40 gigabytes in details. We've never done this, Mike. Are you ready to do this? You told him about it. Yes.

No, you told him about how you are the Bill Walsh of audio executives. Exactly. You can't screw these up. Okay? Yes.

Okay. One at a time. Here we go. One at a time.

Your favorite catchphrase from the original predator. Go ahead. Here's one.

If you please, we can kill it. All right. That's number one. Here's number two. Okay.

This is the chopper. Okay. You can't hear them. You cannot hear them. Yes. You can't hear them.

So what I'm going to do, I'm going to, I'm doing this blindfolded. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Did Bill Walsh cannot have the volume up?

Did the Bill Walsh of sound engineers not have the volume up for the second? Oh my God. We can kill it.

This is not Bode well. I don't want to cause any feedback. Can you?

Oh, there's a method to his madness. Do you want to try one more time now? Yes. Okay. Go ahead.

Go ahead. We can kill it. Okay.

If it bleeds, you can kill it. Okay. Here's the next one. This is the chopper. This is the chopper.

This is the chopper. And here's the other one. One ugly mother. Okay.

There's that one. Okay. Start bench cut. All right.

Get to the chopper. It's cut because it's only an incidental line. And the only reason we remember it is because he's Austrian. If any other actor on the history of the planet and by the history of the planet, I mean the States because it's 1987, right?

So the only country that exists is the United States of America. If anybody else said get to the choppers, it wouldn't have been a line. It wouldn't have been a line.

It's only because he's Austrian. Cut, cut. It's superfluous. Wow. We're going to bench.

We're going to bench. You're one ugly. Cause I have to be a comedian.

I have to be a comedian of integrity who works from the highest point of intelligence. We only like that because we were all 16 and he swore. So what you're going to do is you're going to start if it bleeds, we can kill it. Because it, because it's a succinct line. It furthers the plot.

And it's done in a very naturalistic way. If it bleeds, we can kill it. Very well done. All right. There we go.

Guys, now for everybody else who comes in here on the Rich Eisen show, we're going to show them we're going to show them this start bench cut because you have raised the bar right here. We're going to edit out Del Tufo. We're just going to edit that out.

Can you edit that out? It's too good. Perfect. Keegan-Michael Key's next appearance on the Rich Eisen show is happening Friday of Super Bowl week in New Orleans. We'll see him there.

Then, as a tradition unlike any other, he's going to be joining us. Maybe we'll have him do the Mr. Garvey for players in the Super Bowl. G-reg Zorillion. G-reg Zorillion definitely did not make the Super Bowl.

Not in the Super Bowl. The DD, Mekong K. He tried his best. Didn't make it. So close.

He made the glass. No balakay here today. Balakay Koram didn't make it either. I mean. You ready to go to war, balakay? How would he pronounce Saekwon? Saekwon? Saekwon. Saekwon. Saekwon? I did it in the back yesterday.

Did you do it? Saekwon. Saekwon Barclay. No, but Saekwon is too close.

Yeah. Barkelly. Barkelly. Barkelly.

All right, we're workshopping here. Saquion. Saekwon Barkelly.

Barkelly. I don't know. We gotta do it again. You gotta go back to the well, right? Saekwon.

Well, you and he can hug it out for, pour one out for Penn State, man. Do you wanna go to war, balakay? That's a good one. Back here on the Rich Eisen Show, everybody.

Limited availability, pick up through a participating hunday dealer in select markets. 844-204-RICH, number to dial. Tom in Delaware will take your call real quick. What's up, Tom? I just wanted to support your perspective about the explosive players.

Okay. Really, Buffalo has two explosive players, Jim Kelly and James Cook. I looked up the running backs by explosive rushes, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 plus, and Ty Johnson had seven over 10 plus and none of the others. Ray Davis had 11 of 10 plus, two of 20 plus and none of the others.

And James Cook had 21 of 10 plus, six of 20 plus, four of 30 plus, four of 40 plus, and one of 50 plus. Tom, I am completely with you here. You know, you're- I feel like Joe Brady muted their other explosive weapon more than Steve did.

Thanks for the call, Tom, I appreciate it. I don't know, is it one of those things, and Hoskins, you can get in my ear, I'll repeat your answer. Just one of those things where Ty Johnson's part of their third down passing package and Cook wasn't, so they put him out there.

I don't know. You have to adjust. But I know it was first down, but you're in a three minute mode, you're in a four minute mode. The number of times, again, all season long, I would watch James Cook be taken off the field because it was the last two minutes of a half. And I'm like, why are we not using this guy? This guy's a home run hitter. All he needs is a crease, he's gone. He's doing Saquon type things.

What the hell is he doing standing on the sideline? You know? My goodness gracious. Over Reaction Monday on a Tuesday, hit it. That was terrible. That was crap, that was garbage. This place sucks. Over Reaction Mondays Monday on a Tuesday.

Christopher, have at it, sir. Hey everybody, we good? We're good, all right, we're good.

Here's what's not good. After this fiasco in Philly on Sunday, too much hockey-ly, Luvo jumping all this crap, it's time to ban the tush push. I'm done with this play.

They'll never ban it. It's still a football play. The question is though- Pushing someone is not a football play from behind.

I understand, but I mean, I don't know how you legislate it out. If they line up and someone pushes someone from behind, flag, it's not a play. And hockey-ly can just award a touchdown? Did you know that was a rule?

I didn't know it, but you know who did? Pereira, right on the spot. He goes, if they don't knock it off, the ref can rule a touchdown. And at that point, hockey-ly gets on his mic and he says that, you know. They should have done it one more time just to test him to see if he would have done it. What were they supposed to do at that point? Just, all right, cool, just score on this. Like, they're trying to make a football play to stop them from scoring. And he's like, if you do it again, we can award. Like, that is the, that's a bunch of crap right there.

I'm sorry, who gets credit for that? That's ridiculous and it's embarrassing. You can't tell somebody to not make a football ball. Did you imagine if that would ever happen in the Super Bowl? That did, basically it's like, if you don't, if you don't eat your vegetables, there'll be no dessert. Yeah. And guess what happens?

It's one of those moments. You get dessert anyway. Well, no, there's a difference. I actually did not get dessert when I didn't eat my vegetables, okay? So I knew that.

Neither did I. They'll never ban it. They've already discussed it. Can I eat the peas? Move on.

Oh, I hated the peas. I don't think this is an overreaction, but. Thank you. The Bills have maxed out under Sean McDermott. I think that's absurd too. Yeah? I do. How many Super Bowls have they played in?

I get it. That would just be changing the coach for coach and sake. I thought what he was doing this year, we were talking about middle of December, him being coach of the year candidate. I mean, honestly. He says how many Super Bowls they've won. Like winning a Super Bowl is an easy thing to do. It's literally one of the hardest things in sports.

Maybe the hardest thing. I don't know how you could say you've maxed out under him. As a matter of fact, everything that was going down last year when he fired Ken Dorsey and Marshall Faulk went on What the Football's saying, he's out of options of throwing people under the bus. It's now going to be him in the spotlight. And there was a deep dive that he was the one who went, you know, he would go, he'd be tight on the sidelines. I think he kind of changed things up a little bit this year.

It looked like he changed things up and it worked out well. And just, I don't know, man. Patrick Mahomes, Andy Reid, that's one. One, two, three, Cancun. What else, Chris?

We're all joining them in Cancun. Can't talk enough about Jayden Daniels. He is firmly on the active quarterback Mount Rushmore. What?

What are you talking about? Active quarterback Mount Rushmore. Dang, he's the top four quarterback in the NFL right now.

I would disagree with you on that front too. Who's better than him? Lamar, Josh Allen, Mahomes. Joe Burrow and Mahomes. Got further than Joe Burrow. Got further than Lamar Jackson.

I need to see it again. Last year we were talking about CJ Stroud's a unicorn, one of the greatest offensive quarterback, one of the greatest quarterback rookie seasons we've ever seen in Jayden Daniels. Topped him, and this year the offensive coordinator gets fired in Houston. This year all we talked about was how Stroud took a step back. No doubt.

I want to see it again next year. I'm not saying he can't or that he will do what Stroud did this year, but right now, overreaction. That's one of your best overreactions in a while. He's top four, easy. At least three of the four guys will never win a Super Bowl. Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, Joe Burrow, Justin Herbert.

Again, another overreaction. At some point, Reid will not be the coach of the Chiefs while these guys are active. And then all these guys are gonna be retired.

No, they won't. And at some point. Carroll just got hired at 73.

I understand. Andy Reid's never quitting. Why would he? At some point, Kelsey won't be there either. At some point.

They didn't eat him. At some point. It'll be somebody else. At some point, Mahomes will enter the realm of trying to chase Brady down with successes in his 30s and 40s. As you know, we've already mentioned Mahomes has taken Brady out as the best 20 something quarterback we've seen.

Metrics, back that up. But to sit here and say these guys will never do it because we've seen Mahomes go three years in a row and what he's done in his first seven years of his career is an overreaction. Somebody might get one. That is an overreaction.

Understandable, but an overreaction for sure. All right, let's keep this going. A team with a new head coach in 2025 will win multiple playoff games. A team as a new head coach in 2025. It happened this year.

Dan Quinn did it. I'm saying back to back. It's gonna happen again. You want to call your shot? It's too easy to say Mike Brable, so we'll give somebody else a chance.

No, honestly though, seriously. No reason why Ben Johnson can't do it. What about our new drop? What about our new drop?

What about Liam Cohen? The new drop, Mike. Wait and wait, Mike. Ooh, ball.

Yeah, they can win that division. Why is Brian Schottenheimer not on the screen? I mean, come on, what are we doing? Come on. We are serious people here, Rich. I'm like the Dallas Cowboys football organization who are not serious people.

Oh, the Dallas Cowboys organization without, you know, this year removed, won 12 games in the previous three seasons in a row. Chris Brotman, I'm calling this right now. What is today's date?

January 28th. We're not doing this next year, saying, oh, well, Dallas, no. We don't have a chance to win next year. I'll tell you that right now. I don't want to go through 18 weeks of like, overreacting and TK's overreacting on screen. In real time, he's overreacting.

I just speak for everybody. We don't want to start shows in October and November talking about Dallas when they're three and five. How about this?

I agree, this is a proper reaction. And not only will Dan Quinn be followed up by somebody to do it, he'll be followed up by somebody in division. He's going to be followed up by Brian Schottenheimer. One more. You can't believe it?

Jason Kelce, probably, definitely, 100% regrets retiring after last year. Not at all. Are you serious? Dude, this guy is set up.

Yeah, I mean. He could be in the Super Bowl again. He's going to cover it. He's going to go, you're going to see him.

We're going to go to his party on Wednesday night. He could have another ring. Who cares? Probably him. No way. Look, Chris, Jason Kelce has my lifelong dream, which is to be a late night talk show host, and he's got that. He's doing everything. Definitely regrets.

In the deep down, in a drunk moment, because that's the truth, we will ask him if he regrets, and he will definitely say yes. I disagree. I would disagree. I will take the under on that. I will take the under on that. Is he rooting for the Eagles or Chiefs?

See, now, this is something that, you know. Eagles, for sure, right? No way. He's rooting for the team and the kid who they slept in the same bedroom for the first 17 years. No way, he already has three. He wants the Eagles to get another one. He's rooting for the Eagles. How dare you. I'm always rooting for my brother. How dare you. He's definitely rooting for the Eagles.

By the way, Jason Kelce's life, I don't think he has too many regrets going on right now. He's good. That's an overreaction. Heh heh heh heh. Heh heh heh heh. Heh heh heh heh. Heh heh heh heh. Heh heh heh heh. Heh heh heh heh heh heh heh. Your favorite platform.
