On today's part of my take presented by DraftKings, it is conference championship Sunday. And we're getting ready for both games. It's see who's going to be in Super Bowl. What's Super Bowl, Rihanna right now? Oh, that's a good question. |
| 0:25.5 | I don't know. |
| 0:26.9 | I don't know. |

| 0:30.2 | I'm gonna say 50 like 85. I ain't 55. 55. 56. Man. This is bad by us. This is really bad. I mean, you learn it once you get to Super Bowl week. what is it 60? |
| 0:40.9 | This is the world 60. |
| 0:43.1 | Yeah, 50 was I think the Broncos Panthers. |
| 0:48.3 | 10 years ago. |
| 0:49.1 | That's an embarrassing nonball knowing. It's like we don't know Roman numerals. Sorry. I was closest with 58 My first guess and then you scared me down to 56 because you said 54 Super Bowl 60 max should have been the one who answered that he won a super We are I remember I forget all the fucking Yes, you should know you won you won 50 not you got a one licks you one licks. Yeah, that's right. So this is Licks right. Yeah, is that what it is to no it's just LX It's the lips.

We also have some national sports podcast topics topics we can hit before we get to the games and we'll start in Buffalo. What the fuck was that? So I had a big takeaway from that press conference. So I'm about like Pagula and Brennan Bean addressing the media. They addressed the media as usually for people who missed it. When a coach gets fired, usually a day or two after, the owner in the GM or whoever's surviving, you ever survived the firings gets in front of the media, answer some questions. The goal of the press conference of this type of press conference is always to give confidence that the process is going the correct way that the decisions that were made were not made hastily and that fans can go to sleep at night being like, you know what? We trust the guys in charge and they did the exact opposite. I would say your goal is to project stability in this press conference. I love these because we rarely get to see the owner's talk. Jerry Jones being the one exception and we love it when Jerry talks. The other owners don't really address the media. They're not used to answering questions about their job, about their performance because they have literally not had a boss, usually their entire life. Right. By the way, that was one of my big takeaways that Terry Pogula is, or it's not even Terry Pogula specifically. I think that I just forgot that every owner is actually Jerry Jones. They're just Jerry Jones that choose not to speak every week. |
| 4:25.6 | Yes, Jerry Jones just... They're the same guys. Jerry Jones is just super confident in being Jerry Jones. Right, everybody else, they like to operate in silence. Yeah, they're the same people that will get in front of a group of journalists and confidently speak on things they don't really know about and then walk off the stage and be like, that went well, right? I've got actually an idea for this podcast, |
| 4:46.8 | something that I've wanted to do for the entire 10 year run |
| 4:49.3 | that we've had. I think we got to go to one of these owners meetings. I would love to. I wouldn't let us in. I think that they would and I think that, like there's no media. No, they wouldn't. No, there's no you're just in a hotel. |
| 5:01.9 | You're all I thought you meant the actual. |
| 5:04.0 | No, no, no. |
| 5:04.8 | It's like, yeah, I don't think we're getting in that. |
| 5:06.6 | Not like a league wide. |
| 5:07.9 | You're saying go to I thought you meant the actual, no, no. I was like, yeah, I don't think we're getting in that. |
