This is an IHeart podcast.

Guaranteed Human.

The volume.

0:11.3

All right, let's go to Denver and overtime, 33 to 30 over Buffalo.

0:20.7

You know what, John, like everybody in America,

0:23.5

I have watched every replay. And I will say, I think in most instances, when fans, you know,

0:32.7

it's rigged. If you were going to rig this thing, you'd rig it for Josh Allen and the bills.

0:36.5

Bo Nix and the Super Bowl is not moving a number.

0:39.5

But I will say, I talked to a GM today and I looked at several.

0:46.7

Let me put it this way.

0:47.8

Slow motion usually creates clarity.

0:51.0

I would argue this is one of the rare instances.

0:54.0

Slow motion created confusion because slow motion makes it look like it's more of a catch by Brandon Cooks than it is.

1:01.9

That in fast motion, when I watched it about 30 times after talking to a GM, the GM who is no, by the way, fan of Denver, I'll leave it at that, said, in the end, if you look at it at real speed, the ball's bouncing when he hits the ground, and that's not an official cash to.

1:18.9

Then it's whoever wins the wrestling match, and Denver won the wrestling match.

1:22.7

So I thought slow-mo, as I'm watching it in slow-mo, it actually, in hindsight, did it a disservice because it makes it look like Cook's is more in possession. That was my take anyway. They got it right, but I've never seen anything like that. So I didn't know for about a day how to compute it. Yeah, I mean, I think the catch has become such a convoluted situation in the NFL. Like, why do we have to make this so confusing? And by the letter of the law, they got it right. I think you could argue, was he officially touched? And then he ran out of bounds and dropped the ball. Some people are saying it should have been a safety bill's win. But I'm with you. I mean, I just think that we've got to this point with instant replay, which does benefit us, right, because we can get things right.

2:04.8

But also, like, I do feel for Sean McDermann, if you watched his long kind of, you know, he went on this, I wouldn't even call it a rant because he was very under control.

2:14.7

And he said, listen, if I take a step back objectively, can't we just try to get it right?

2:19.1

And it felt very rushed.

2:21.1

Now, I think, you know, being in that spot in the first place, all the turnovers, right?

2:26.7

Obviously, the way the half ended for Buffalo, there's a lot to even get to that point that was avoidable.

2:34.6

And I also think it's a reflection of when the season's on the line, he's throwing a jump ball to a very old, I mean, for NFL standards, an older player who is not a jump ball player.
