However you get your podcasts, we appreciate whether you're watching us on our YouTube channel, YouTube.com slash Rich Eisen Show, or getting us wherever you get your podcasts. Rich Eisen, Chris Brock, good to see you over there, Christopher. What a weekend. Yeah, I know.

I'm glad I was awake for the Saturday night chaos at the NBA, because normally like 9, 30, 10 o'clock, I'm kind of getting in bed, and then all of a sudden it's like, whoa, okay. Boom. Here we go. TJ texted the group, which by the way, is a monster development to begin with, almost as big as the trade. Right, that's a weekend victory for us.

He texted from Royal Rumble, where by the way, if you're taking in this podcast, No Contest Wrestling was at Royal Rumble in Indianapolis over the weekend. What a show. That was awesome. My goodness, what a weekend indeed.

So lots to react to or overreact to. Hit it. That was terrible. That was crap.

That was garbage. This place sucks. Overreaction. Mondays. Mondays.

All right, Christopher, you've got the floor. I'm interested to see what you want to lead with right here. We're going to lead with Superbowl. Obviously it's Superbowl week. A lot of people in our industry are in New Orleans making their way to New Orleans. And then on after Tuesday's flagship show, we're all hopping a flight. We're going to emanate from, from Superbowl experience for Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. Super site. It's going to be great for me. Super Sunday, rich.

It's all about 26. He's been the story of the NFL season for me. I think he should be the MVP. And I think Saquon Barkley is going to tie or break multiple Superbowl records on Sunday. Now you're saying, um, are you saying the inch, the big one, the Timmy Smith one, are you saying over 200 yards rushing? Is that what you're saying?

Cause it seems like you're, you're, you're walking up to the edge here and you don't want to step over it. So what are you saying? What are the records that you think he is setting? I'm saying Timmy Smith is in play two Oh five. I'm saying fast Willie Parker, 75 yard touchdown run in play.

I'm saying three plus touchdowns in play. All of it's in play for Saquon Barkley. This has been his season. I think when we look back on this year, he is what we are going to remember most about the 2024 season. And I think he's going to have a huge day.

I don't think that's an overreaction. Although Kansas city is we, we discussed last week on, on the flagship show has faced four. They've been great against the top 10 rushers this year and Derek Henry in week one, all the way through to that scare and Carolina Chuba Hubbard had the best day out of all of them.

Yep. You know, and so they, they did, you know, the chiefs keep Chuba Hubbard less than 60 yards. He, he flirted with 60 yards, which was the most anybody's gotten, but this guy is number one coming in and has shown nothing but big playability in nothing but the big moments of the season, whether it is week one in Brazil, or it was in Baltimore after rushing for over 200 yards and accounting for 300 yards here in Los Angeles on a Sunday night, he then goes to the bank and breaks it. So I, I don't think it's an overreaction to say that he has set himself up for a massive finale in front of the biggest audience American sports can offer.

So I don't think this is an overreaction. I don't think, you know, this is a statement that say that he will do it, but we've talked about it. The chief's defense has been awesome this year, but the Eagles roster is so loaded with playmakers on offense, you're going to play man against A.J.

Brown and Devontae Smith at Dallas guard really heating up. I just think, I just think it's his time. It very well could be. I guess it all depends on how the refs want to massage it.

So you know, those are Bill Burr's words that you wholeheartedly agree with. I don't think that's an accurate statement, but I can't wait for the chiefs haters. By the way, he was blowing up my cell phone all weekend long to say the NBA is massaging things now in favor of the Lakers because things are too boring. I would believe the NBA is more massaging than the NFL.

I don't think the NFL is massaging at all, but the NBA, I would think, yes, it's very possible. How do we get onto that subject? You brought up massage. Very good. Look, we're going to hit talk NBA at the end. Okay.

All right. The Superbowl hangover, I think is real. We saw it with the 49ers this year, whether you want to attribute injuries to hangovers the Eagles, the year previous and the Eagles, the year previous, the loser on super Sunday is going to miss the playoffs next season. That's crazy. It's just the way it goes. That's crazy.

Talk. The Patriots are the only loser to go the next year and win it. It's just a thing. It's you lose a super bowl. It takes a lot out of you playing in the playoffs and getting this far and the emotional energy that's spent. It's a real thing.

I see what you're, you're saying. I don't think when McCaffrey dominated over time, only to have Chris Jones blow up the third down play inside the red zone, forcing the Niners who surprised everybody by taking the football first in overtime and then settling for a field goal. I don't think anybody there thought after the chiefs inevitably scored the touchdown to win it all. Oh, and they settled for a field goal last year, but nobody would have sat there and thought, well, there goes the Niner season next year because McCaffrey is going to have not one, but two Achilles tendonitis injuries to deal with. We're just assuming McCaffrey was going to be good this year, whether it was healthy or not. I mean, look, you spend all the off season, that's just a long six months thinking about all the what ifs, especially when you come as close as San Francisco did last year. I guess I could sit here and say the Eagles hangover dealt with two new coordinators that were not up to speed. Remember Jason Kelsey told us like they were 10 and one and they were the most miserable team on the planet because they lost the Super Bowl the year before.

I'm just going to push back on it and say these teams are too damn talented. Now if the chiefs lose the game and then Kelsey, because he does in fact retire, because that's going to be the kind of hope, Travis Kelsey gets ready for that all week. That's going to be all the questions he gets, either one about his future and the other will be his future as a bachelor. You know what I mean?

Like those, those are going to be the two questions he has asked of him all week long storyline after the three Pete. Well, I've got a top five storylines of the of the Super Bowl week coming up on the Monday flagship show. Of course you do. So that's what's coming up. Attaboy. Yeah, thanks pal. But this is an overreaction, bud. I figured you'd say that, but I wanted to get it out there.

We talked to Big Red. Win or lose, Andy Reid's on the Mount Rushmore of NFL coaches with Belichick, Lombardi, Bill Walsh. Um, you're forgetting Don Shula there, um, now, Andy Reid already has more Super Bowls than Don Shula.

The fact that he's on the Mount Rushmore is not an argument. Now I know that means I need to figure out who else is on it. Oh, so you're taking Bill Walsh off. Um, yeah, I guess I am. Oh, wow. I guess I am.

Father of the modern NFL offense. I get it. I understand it.

Wow. I know what I'm saying, but dude, Don Shula has more wins than any other human being on the planet. Don Shula has less Super Bowl wins than all those guys.

But the first part of it is not an overreaction. Andy Reid's there, man. It's unbelievable too. The fact that dude, I'm telling you, when NFL network first came on the air and we watched, you know, I think that was the Fred X, um, playoff fourth and 26, 26.

Yeah. Um, and the Eagles then made it all the way to the NFC championship game only to lose to Jake Delome and the Carolina Panthers was just the latest moment of the Eagles hitting their ceiling. So if there was an overreaction, then I would have had Andy Reid fired or that the Eagles have hit their ceiling with Andy Reid. And then you would have had that as a statement the next year when they lost in the Super bowl to new England.

And the conversation was all about Andy Reid, just spitting the bit at the two minute mark of every close game. Stock management didn't know when to call timeouts. Didn't have the proper plays in the shoot. Didn't have the gumption for Philadelphia. He was too nice a guy, you know, all of that when he was in Philadelphia and then he winds up getting replaced by the new offensive coordinator of the Las Vegas Raiders, which by the way was a very good hire and ship Kelly agree with that. And then the front office gets blown up and he winds up going to Kansas City and is in in my estimation, the the personification of a road map that's placed in front of Mike Tomlin to say do you want to find your next spot out of the state of Pennsylvania to continue on your path because take a look at this guy now we do have Clark Hunt on Mondays flagship show as well. I want to talk with him about the courtship of Andy Reid and obviously connecting him with Alex Smith was a smart move and then drafting the homes changes the entire dynamic of that was fast. Andy Reid didn't sit out. He was let go from Philadelphia and I think was very shortly thereafter scooped up by Kansas City quintessential by five minutes unemployed, which is what Tomlin would be.

But this is not a Tomlin question. This is an Andy Reid question. He is 100% when he takes the field on Sunday officially in my mind on the Mount Rushmore will help. He'll be in his sixth Super Bowl. He will also be coaching his 45th playoff game, which is one more than Belichick now for most all time. And he's just only going to add to it over and over and over. So you go, he will be the only member of the 50 playoff coach, 50 playoff games, coach club. We get to 60.

I don't know if they'll ever be another one that gets that. So you're going Belichick, Lombardi, Reid, Chula. I kind of think, yeah, I will do that. Interesting.

Interesting. You know, and then make way for Aaron Glenn one day, you know, and Mike Rabel look at us having hope for the future. Rich all we have is all we have is hope my man. Okay.

Rich, let's move on. That's enough about the game. Let's hit some, some topics here in the NFL right before we started recording, you didn't see this from Cleveland, Ohio, miles Garrett requesting a trade from the Browns about this line while I've loved calling this city, my home, my desire to win and compete on the biggest stages won't allow me to be complacent.

The goal was never to go from Cleveland to Canton. It's always been a compete for and win a Superbowl. And so then he puts one more bold line. It says it's in bold with that in mind, I've requested to be traded from the Cleveland Browns. I don't know, man. This isn't the NBA. So star players get their wish usually no matter the sport, I get it. But I, I, I don't know it's, it's the starting price for him is at least two ones, right? And a team will gladly give that up guys, edge rusher and his prime guys going to hall of fame, reigning defensive player of the year case to win it this year in his prime, the grim Reaper, at least two ones, at least two, at least two ones, probably four picks. Probably overall, I'm guessing maybe a player, rich.

Here's the overreaction. Miles Garrett will win a Superbowl before anyone in the AFC North, you don't even have his destination doesn't matter. We know that he's going to a team that can contend and win a Superbowl. Let me ask you this question.

He goes to Denver. Oh, baby. Let's go win a Superbowl before anyone in the AFC North before borough, before it's still a quarterback. Hold on a minute. Hold on a minute. And Bo Nix just proved he's a top.

This is great. Top half of the league player outstanding job because this, this we're how many minutes into this pod, about 15 minutes into this pod, you learned this news 20 minutes ago. That's how fresh this is.

Yes. And you came up with this. I said, you said to me, I, I got to put something in, I don't know what. And I said, just go into your inner and hot, take it and come up with something. And this is outstanding. You're really good at this dude.

Thanks for it, Jason. You know, so let me, so I'm going to flip it. What do you mean?

I'm going to flip it. You're reacting to you. No, I'm reacting to you to see, to come up with this.

I'm phoning a friend. Okay. Okay.

And you're my friend. And as I said, he goes to Denver, you think Denver with bonics will win a super bowl before burrow and Lamar Jackson or anybody, right? Well, Lamar Jackson, you know, can't just is less than in the playoffs.

I think we can all agree with that. How about this? Uh, let's say the chargers get him Justin Herbert, does he, does he give Justin Herbert a super bowl? Cause you also, you love, you love saying Justin Herbert. You don't eat. Well, I mean, you like him. I do really like him, but you'll like slagging on him more than that.

That's fun too. Do they get a receiver and free agency of the draft? No, no, no, no.

What do you mean? This is we're boxing it in miles. Garrett.

We have a super bowl before any AFC North team. Now you're saying what else, what helped us yet? The charges.

Biggest need is offensive weapons, right? So I assume they're going to do that, but if they also get miles Garrett, who yes. So they get, so they get the help on, on, I don't know how they get it.

I don't know how they get, of course. And they also get miles Garrett. You just said it's a miles Garrett game.

I'm now flipping it on you and interesting how you're trying to widen the net. Well, I mean, do you think if the chargers get him, how about this one? Let's say all of a sudden Jerry Jones says, I need, I need me. See, well, we know that Jerry Jones isn't going to do this.

How do you mean? What are they just going to trade Micah Parsons for miles Garrett or they add it doesn't matter. You're just saying he goes, he goes somewhere. I'm saying wherever he goes, he's definitely winning before the North. What if the Texans get him now we're talking.

That's fun. Do you think the Texans win a Superbowl? They're first ever they'll make their first ever Superbowl and bring it back. They bring back. Steph digs. They had tank.

Dell is healthy. Suddenly they show up the offensive line a little bit. Now you got the Neil Hunter and miles Garrett and will Anderson. What if the dolphins get him? Well then no chance, see, that's why I'm saying this is an overreaction, but you're giving me the field against two teams because we know Pittsburgh is just going to lose in the first round. Good Cleveland isn't even going to make the playoffs Jackson is less than in the playoffs. You're really going against one team. It's totally just Joe burrow, but he might lose both his wide receivers.

This is my point to you. I need to see where he goes first. How much they have to cough up because those assets they need to actually supplement unless he's the last piece. What if he goes to the bills and now you're talking, you're talking, now you're talking.

What about the commanders? Yeah. Yeah.

What if how he's on the phone right now? Miles Garrett, I guess technically he now does go to an sec school. So that makes him eligible, you know, it's fun. He can turn a team into a super bowl champion prior to an AFC North team.

Yes. Cause guess what? I liked the fact that you said any AFC North team because the price that we said at least two ones doubles for any team within the AFC North to actually go get him like Browns would send Browns are going to send them to another conference anyway. I would imagine it'd be an NFC team commanders. That's an interesting choice pal.

Players should be on the phone immediately lions, lions, who him and Hutch look out lines. Not a bad one. Not a bad one. Certainly if your ones are going to be in the thirties, right? Right.

Deep, deep twenties, low 30. Good one, Chris. See, look at you coming up with this off the top of your head. It's fun. Here's a couple more.

How about this one? We're going to be talking a lot about free agency, quarterbacks, destinations, a team would be better off signing Russell Wilson than Sam Darnold and free agency. Did you watch the pro bowl games? Is that why you're saying this?

I watched a little bit of the pro bowl game. My 13 year old coop comes into my office. Okay. Cause I'm, I'm getting ready for, for a whole bunch of stuff. Taylor's also not feeling her best over the weekend. Something going around. And so I'm not watching the pro bowl games.

So I'm watching like one of the Mandalorians with her or something. So she, he comes in, he goes, dad, Russell Wilson. Looks really good today. It's like, he also said he threw a duck to a Brock Bowers. I'm like, does he not look good?

He goes, no, actually it looks really good today. He then says Sam Darnold through a couple of interceptions. So is this, is this a, is this a, an overreaction to the pro bowl?

I also think football, I also think it's a, it's a price thing. You're going to be able to get Russ for half the price probably. And you're going to get, I'm guessing about the same production and you're going to get a proven leader and super bowl champion. And I think that a Darnold might've been a one-off. How come the Darnold final two weeks Trump's the final six weeks for Russ in your mind? How come the first 16 weeks of the NFL regular season for Sam Darnold gets wiped out by the final two and the final pro bowl games and the pro okay, thank you. In the final five, six weeks of a once upon a time, 10 and three team taken from four and two to 10 and three by a guy who got hurt in training camp.

See, I'm trying to put the least possible, the least possible rosy spin on it. In Sam Darnold's career, I've seen him literally play like 10 good games. But you've seen Russ' last three.

And I've seen Russ play about 70 good games and give him an offensive head coach and let's see what he could do. He could definitely be less expensive. Notice I didn't say cheaper.

Definitely gonna be less expensive. I don't think this is an overreaction. I also don't think Sam's walking. We got JJ McCarthy on tomorrow's show, on Tuesday's show.

And I don't think there's going to be much that he's going to be able to add to the conversation right now. I do believe the Vikings, and if I'm him, I'm trying to stay. I'm trying to stay.

I'm trying to stay in Minnesota and I'm trying to be the starter for as long as I can in Minnesota. Just so he can get Kirk Cousin'd? Maybe. You know?

I don't know. They didn't draft McCarthy to sit him. So you're going to want to go where? I mean, any of the other spots that are looking for quarter, but you're definitely not going back to the Jets. No, I think Raiders would be a fun spot.

I don't think it's an overreaction. Okay. You know, you're not too far off here, so. I got a riddle for you. What do yoga mats, a toothbrush, and a Hyundai have in common? I'll give you a moment.

Time's up. If you guess they're all fun, well-designed, and super useful, you guessed wrong. The answer is you can order all those things on Amazon. That's right. You can now buy a Hyundai on Amazon, the same place where you order yoga mats, a toothbrush, and pretty much everything else, all from the comfort of your home. And the best part, you won't even have to break down a car-sized Amazon box after, because you'll pick up your Hyundai at the dealer.

I mean, picture this. You're in your PJs, snugged in on your couch, you pull up Amazon on your phone, and start the process right there. Just locate a nearby dealer, pick your color, your options, check the price, and with a few dotting of some I's and crossing of some T's, voila, your Hyundai is ready for pickup. It's that easy.

Just remember to put some real clothes on before you head over, will you? Hyundai, now available on Amazon. Visit HyundaiUSA.com or call 562-314-4603 for more details.

I know he said he's focused on the Steelers, but get Russ now. And Tom Brady, the vibes are back. Raiders are fun. Jay Felley, Raiders.

Oh my gosh. Marshawn Lynch is going to be there? So who's out? Who's out? Who's out? What else? Yeah. Charges are out. Dude.

Why do you say that? Well, they shouldn't have been in. You see what they did in the game against the Texans?

I mean, come on. I love the Pete Carroll hiring. I love that they kept- I'm coming around. I'm kind of liking Pete. They kept the DC as the DC. You know, Max Crosby's probably going to be happy about that.

I imagine. I shouldn't speak for him. Christian Wilkins will be back healthy. Brock Bow- Yeah. Let's find out who the quarterback is. Steelers are probably out. I like Chip Kelly as the hire. You know, by the way, next level Michigan man material out of Tom Brady helps his own cause. Takes one away from Ohio State.

Oh, he worsens Ohio State and strengthens his own hand. Chip had a really good year. It was a big year for Chip to get himself back in the league. Chip's back in the league as the OC in Vegas for Pete Carroll. Maybe he's also sitting there that he could be the coach in waiting. Once upon a- When Pete does maybe hand the reins off, he's part of his whole situation. Maybe Chip gets back in lines in HC in the NFL again. You never know. Great move. I bet they're going to end up trading up in the draft. Who wants to live in Columbus anyway. One of these guys. Sorry to interrupt your Ohio State slot because what's my bad?

I'm not done with it. I mean, so I don't, but come on man. I mean, I, unless the kid that they draft six overall has a Jayden Daniels type experience where you can go from second overall on the clock to the six seed or they move on to the final four of a conference. I mean, I need to see who the quarterback is. This is a tall order, man, but if it's week one or cam ward week one, then what?

And I need to see how long he's playing. I mean, there's a lot of questions, but I do like a lot of the moves the Raiders have made over the last 10 days. I do too. That is for sure. I do too. I'm high on it and I appreciate the notion, but I'll have to say it's an overreaction. I like talking Raiders. The league's better when the Raiders are good. I agree. Rich, I know you didn't watch any of it. Coop was locked in.

Me and Cage were watching some of it. Every sport should just ditch their all-star game and do a version of the pro bowl games. I'm with you. All-star games are done.

Like it's done. This generation of athletes has killed all-star games. Including baseball?

Yeah. It used to be competitive. Pete Rose used to run guys over and like Michael Jordan would take it seriously. And who was a Sean Taylor was blowing up punters during the pro bowl. Like it used to matter. Let me tell you, man, my 13 year old loved the pro bowl games.

Loved it. He was locked in from start to finish. He loved seeing the guys having fun and miked up and doing stupid stuff and playing tug of war. And, you know, seeing these guys in a much more relaxed environment, because if you're going to play, you know, um, half speed, you might as well take the pads off and put flags on. And the NFL did it. And I think it's a smart move. And, and that player seemed to really enjoy it. And that's all that matters.

I think what the NBA is going to do in another couple of weeks, I think is going to be a total. It's going to be a sham. We're going to come in here to the next on Monday and tell you what time you shot. You thought Sean's got hacked. Didn't you? Cause I did.

I did too. Yeah. Oh yeah. We'll get to that in a second. I imagine. Um, yeah, not bad baseball.

Just give it one more try. One more try, but wouldn't you rather see like a bunt contest or guys like who can run to second, the fastest, like, don't you want to see Ellie Dilla Cruz run around the bases in 12 seconds? I, you know, yes, not bad. But the first thing major league baseball should do is put their frigging regular uniforms back on the players. I think they are doing that. I think that's great. Instead of these nonsense looking like, you know, the, you, you shouldn't dress up your all-stars like the Savannah bananas.

You know what I mean? As much as I enjoy this event, by the way, they're delightful, but they're the Savannah bananas, right? You know, like let's not, it's not right, right. So put your all stars in their uniforms and make it look like a collection of all stars from the regular teams, all playing collectively. My son and my daughter are not going to say, dad, please buy me that new national league Jersey. I saw everyone wear like they look like the Savannah bananas. It's terrible.

It's terrible. All right, rich, let's get to it. NBA over the weekend, two monster trades, the stunner, the stunner Saturday night, Luca going from Dallas to the, to the Lakers for Anthony Davis. And of course, Danny age that that psychopath was involved as the third team in. And then on a Sunday, Darren Fox goes, goes to San Antonio to team up with when be rich, the Spurs are going to win an NBA championship before the Lakers.

Hmm. I don't know, man, those spurs with Wimby and Darren Fox and Chris Paul and the rest of their collection of young stars, Devon, I know, I know before the Lakers, man, I don't know. Great question, LeBron and Luca.

What the hell is that? Do you think they're going to be able to pull it together enough to make a run this year? No, no, no. Unless, unless there's another move coming, I mean, we figure it out a few days before the trade deadline in the NBA, once somebody was getting traded, I mean, they said that he's not.

Yeah. I saw, I saw a story basically saying that LeBron has a no trade clause in his two year contract and he has no intention of right. You know, I'd want to play with Luca too, provided he's healthy and in shape. The Lakers got worse though, provided the Lakers got worse after this trade, they have no rebounding and they don't play any defense. LeBron and Luca are two of the worst defenders in the league. So who's going to be the rim protector?

No idea, unless there's another move coming this week, which I would assume that there would be. Right. Which is why I still don't, by the way, I appreciate you throwing the spurs in this one.

I have no earthly idea. I'll just call it an overreaction and be done with it. You know? But the spurs, you know, one of the most exciting two young players in the league. And I understand that Mavericks fans are upset that Luca got sent to Los Angeles and we'll talk more about it on the flagship show. But if you're saying that Luca's shooting or is excited, the, the one thing that Mavericks are definitely losing is a ticket draw. That's for sure.

Okay. They gave up 91 points in the first half on Sunday post this trade. So I understand that, but don't you think that some of what's lost from Luca's shooting ability and playmaking ability can still be made up by Kyrie in the same way that who is making up for Anthony Davis's being remarkable defender when he's out there.

Yeah. And everybody keeps saying, you know what? They got some broken down 32 soon to be 32 year old guy who hardly plays like, like he's some slappy forgotten how great Anthony Davis has been awesome this year, but awesome. So I understand everybody thinks the Mavericks are waving the white flag because they only got one first rounder back.

Now that's the whole thing. That's what I don't understand what they got back for Luca is just insane, insane, right? And, and, and, and it's not like Anthony Davis is playing for the league minimum either.

You know what I mean? It's, it's, it's not like they just sent Luca away for a bag of balls. Anthony Davis has played 42 out of 47 games this year.

He's been very durable this season. I couldn't believe it. Like the fact that shams had to, to, to tweet a followup that yes, this is real.

Just everyone assumed he got hacked. I know. Cause it never happens. And by the way, on a Saturday, there is no, and we'll talk about it more on the flagship and wrap up the show in a sec that there is no football equivalent, the football, like who's six years older than, than a, you know, a guy that's, I don't know who the Luca equivalent is in the NFL. And I don't know who the Anthony Davis equivalent is.

You know, I know Schefter put out there, this is like Lamar and Joe burrow being traded for each other. They're not in the same, they're the same age. You know what I mean?

Right? Andrews is silly. I don't know how to really good when it's like one more Josh Allen being traded for Matthew Stafford, Stafford's much older though. Like this is the, I don't know that it's not six years older than, than Alan is like seven or eight.

I mean, yeah, I don't know. It was, I spent all weekend trying to think of an NFL equivalent and I couldn't quarterbacks like Luca and Anthony Davis plays a different position. So maybe somebody from miles Garrett or something, maybe there is no equivalent. It's insane. Like Lamar for miles Garrett. Cause like the Lakers and Mavericks are kind of under conference. You know, it is just, just to wrap it. It's like the, this trade Luca for Anthony Davis is like the Alonzo morning GIF of you shake your head and then you, well, I can see, I don't understand what they're doing, but I can see it.

I mean, unless Dallas is just so unhappy with Luca conditioning injuries behind the scenes stuff that we just don't know about. I don't know, man. I couldn't believe it. I'm still stunned. I know Windhorst called it like the most shocking trade at NBA history on Saturday night. I, I, I can't say that he's wrong. It's unbelievable.

Unprecedented. Let's wrap this up, bud. What do you got?

All right. So for some stuff, just looking back at week 12, I thought was a kind of interesting, there's three good ones. I had the Eagles are the best team in the NFL and Saquon will be first non QB MVP. That's not too bad. Kind of nailed that one too far off. Now this was after the Rams game, right? That was right after the Rams. Yeah. So there's a week 12 was right after Thanksgiving. So yeah.

That's what it was. Yeah. And then the two really bad ones, Cowboys making the playoffs commanders are missing it. When was that? That was week 12. Yeah.

That was week 12. Oh, because the Cowboys were making a nice run. They just beaten the commanders to start a little bit potentially of a, Hey, you never know. Yeah. Hey, you never know.

And I'm like, ah, let's just spice it up a little bit. I mean, you know, maybe Cowboys can go on a run and then they did and Washington would hit a skid. The exact opposite happened. I don't think Washington lost after that until the NFC championship, the NFC championship game. Yeah. That's how wrong you were.

That's fun. And then Sam Darnold, we'll have the Vikings in the NFC championship game. That was the other one because they were back on track and really balling. So two weeks of that season, kind of a bummer.

He really had a great nice season, but at least Vikings fans, the trap door didn't open up after week five, everybody thought five and Oh, here comes five and 12. You know? Yeah.

Cause it was five and two. It was like, Oh, I know. I know. So at least you it's fun.

You loved a little bit more before you lost. Yep. All right. Susie Schuster and Amy Trask with what the football check that out. That's going to come out later today because the whole crew is heading off to new Orleans for the super bowl. After Tuesday show their guest is Brent Musburger, Musburger. So it'll be fun talking a super bowl 59 with a guy who was once upon a time sitting poolside and heard a guarantee at super bowl three. So there's that 56 years ago.

Yep. So let's talk about with, with Brent and then Wednesday's no contest wrestling O'Shea Jackson Jr. Along with TJ Jefferson, they were at Royal rumble, Roman rain, sat down with them.

Paul Heyman sat down with them together. So there's tons of stuff for you to look forward to through the rich eyes and podcast network for the rest of the week. For Chris.

I am rich. We are off to new Orleans again on a, on after Tuesday show our guests on Wednesday. One of our guests is miles Gary. Hey, now look at that. We'll stop by our set in new Orleans. Wow. It's scheduled to appear scheduled scheduled. We'll see.
