Welcome to Extra Points.

Now here's your host, Cousin Sal, and his good, good pals, Dave Damaseck and Martin Weiss.

All right, welcome to the Extra Points podcast. Cousin Cell here. Yes, we're doing this on a Tuesday night.

Nightcap, here we go. Spaghetti, meatballs,

fiddling with the knobs, babyface, Joel Salman, barely awake. He's producing this mess and joining me as always, my dear, dear pals, Dave Damashik, Martin Weiss. We're doing this. We have to go

somewhere Wednesday morning, Sheck.

Someone has us in a conference or something? I don't know. I don't know. But let me tell you this,

though, fellas. This is the takeaway to try to provide some perspective for you. Max McGee,

56 years ago at this, you know, Saturday night had not even probably headed out of the hotel room in Los Angeles

to go on. Hold on. I was just going to tell the story.

I don't want to let it. Listen, we live, our society may as well be moved up to Mount Pius.

Okay. But Max McGee, it's worth it in any Super Bowl week to pay homage to the man who went on a twister on the eve of the first ever Super Bowl and walked in the next morning to find out, oh, boy, Dowler's hurt, so I have to start in the Super Bowl and was drunk and he caught two touchdown passes, both with one hand. I think he's a

hero for all of them. I hail you, Max McGee. I'll tell you this, Dave. I went through it. I was

doing that deep dive of Super Bowl history. I think Max McGee was the first Super Bowl MVP snub. Yeah,

you're exactly right. You're, you're not wrong, Marty Weiss. You know, we were talking about this. The Rams are currently a four-point favorite. 48 and a half is the over-run. They're for Super Bowl LVI. And I was wondering, people like, hey, should I put the bed in? Because people like to be smart. Like, no, no, no. I like the Bengals, but I'm going to wait for that to get the four and a half. You know, I'm going to wait and wait.

It's like to be smart. Like, no, no, no, I like the Bengals, but I'm going to wait for that to get to four and a half.

You know, I'm going to wait and wait. It's like, all right, you have no idea if it's going to four and a half or three and a half. And the final score is going to be 33, 14. So likely, you know, either way, you're not going to be a smart guy here. But is it better, Martin, to bet now or to wait?

I would say wait because of COVID, although that doesn't seem like an issue. I would say wait because of the Max McGee's of the

league, right? Who else? Eugene Robinson? Who is the Raider? Baird. Barrett Robbins. Robbins.

Robbins, right. That's right. He had a, like a mental breakdown, right?

And it ended up like in Tijuana. So those are the reasons to wait. But honestly, I say fire away. There's too many hundreds of props to leave it on your plate for Sunday morning. Right, Martin? I say fire away as well. and I think that the reason of 60-some of these games,

or however many Super Bowls it's been, I can't remember right now. L-V-I, I just said L-V-I. Yeah, I know, but I don't know how to, what is, L-V-I is. Well, they do two a year. More than L-V-V, and it was one less than L-V-I-I. Yeah. But I remember that that's been,
