| 0:00.0 | I'm just telling you right now, like, would I do that? No. Would I put a Metz-Yanky Subway World Series or Subway Series T-shirt? |
| 0:06.0 | I would not, especially knowing we lost. Maybe he just had a bad hair day, and he needed it. Then you find any other hat. But I'm also not penalizing him as a fan. Like, we got to stop. I'm not the head of the fan police. it's okay. The real issue is that |
| 0:20.4 | Torrico thought he was a Patriots fan. And that's the thing |
| 0:23.2 | that pissed me off. Now, back to the football real quick. At 19-0, this is early in the fourth quarter. This is right after the fan jumped on the field, which we actually never saw. But a fan jumped on the field. He was shirtless. He had written something on his body. |
| 0:37.9 | I don't know what it was. |
| 0:39.1 | He actually ended up getting run down by rookie Kyle Williams of the New England Patriots. Believe it or not? That was funny. Very funny. Yeah, seeing that after the fact. And right after that, they ran two plays. A 24-yard pass to Matt Collins |
| 0:51.6 | and then a 35-year-old touch, |
| 0:53.2 | a 35-yard touchdown pass to Matt Collins |
| 0:55.8 | to make it 19 to 6. |
| 0:56.9 | You know what I said right after that? Go for two? No. I want Mac Hollins on the New York Giants next year. That's what you came up with. He's just always on winning team. He's one of those glue guys you throw in your locker rope. I can see that. blocks, does whatever you need, and doesn't wear shoes. That's true. It's awesome. |
| 1:14.1 | Yeah, you could use them in that room. |
| 1:11.1 | I don't can see that. Blocks, does whatever you need, and doesn't wear shoes. |
| 1:12.1 | That's true. This is awesome. Yeah, you could use them in that room. I don't disagree with that. 100%. But then Mike Vrable decided to kick the extra point. Yes. Two things. Quickly, I did think of you, Sean, because Sean revealed that one of the bets he made in this game was a team going for two. And so I thought to myself, oh, crap, this may cost them a few dollars. |
| 1:30.0 | Yeah. |
| 1:30.6 | No, I was livid at him. Also, the math did math as you're going to get in. Well, this is the problem. At 19 to 6, with about 12 minutes to go in the fourth quarter, if you go for two and make it, you're down 11. You're a touchdown, two-point conversion, and a field goal away from tying it. By kicking the extra point, you need two touchdowns. |
| 1:46.8 | So I don't understand Tiki |
| 1:48.4 | why Mike Vrable decided to not go for two in that situation. Yeah, because he's, so at that point, |
| 1:54.8 | with 12 minutes left, there's probably four possessions left in the game. I think of, in football |
| 2:00.0 | terms, I think of possessions, |
| 2:01.4 | not, you know, scores. So two possessions left for each team. So the question was, |
