I was special team in a nightball during the week. Patrick Manilie. My all-time favorite bear would have to be Patrick Manley. Bears long snapper for 16 seasons. Manali is the longstopper and they fake it. And it's Maynard, the holder. And he fires the pass. And it's caught for the touchdown. Ryan Erlacker on the reception. Pretty good imagination.

0:22.1

Craft beer mogul.

0:23.0

Are you drinking the Kool-Aid?

0:27.5

I'm drinking a long-snapper IPA.

0:30.3

Patrick Manil.

0:35.9

I noticed Scott Daly the long snapper had no problem just being right there in front of the heaters.

1:13.6

Not to call him out, but I mean, can we share a little bit here? He's like, come on, Scott. Who wants to meet with a long snapper? I'm right over here if you need me. Just right here. You know who was not cold? Scott Daly. Scott Daly had that heater covered, man. I'm trying well. The only thing is I got mad at when the O-line walked over there, you get the heck out of the way, man. When I would see you guys coming or D-Line or whoever, you do not be seen. You use the heck out of the way you guys are playing. It's like he's got to like, yeah. I'm like, Scott, move, man. boom and I'm like hold a ball, spin it, do something. Patrick Manilie with Spiegel at Holmes.

1:27.7

And a ton of stuff, of course, the Manali snap. On 670 the score. Patrick Manateley joins us here on the Spiegel and Home show on the Circa Resort and Casino hotline, circa Las Vegas.com. Hey, Patrick, how are you?

1:29.1

I'm great, man.

1:29.9

How are you guys doing?

1:30.8

We are wonderful.

1:36.1

The protocol of the special teamer in that open is a lovely, lovely thing.

1:37.1

How you feeling, man?

2:18.6

Like usually week 19 in the NFL is when we figure out what day the postmortem is coming. And you're like, I don't want to, you know, I got to make sure I'm in town for the post-mortem. Because who knows who gets fired? Not this year, huh? It's pretty fun. Well, what's funny is being today is Wednesday, the last couple years, I might have put my prep off for later in the week. I might have got a little lazy like the team would be. But I'm all excited. I've already started to rewatch last year, or week two's game. I'm just excited for this week and then the playoffs, obviously, but it's just a whole different feeling, and you can feel it around the city. But I hear your guy's voices as well as well, but it's just, it's fun. And this is what the city deserves.

2:21.9

And I just can't wait to see what happens against the Lions, obviously. But in two weeks, it's overfield.

2:24.1

Patras, take us inside a little bit.

2:26.6

What's it like when guys are close to hitting incentives in their contract late in the season?

2:33.3

You get excited for guys because you know it's extra money, right? And then I heard you guys talk about Caleb and trying to get to 4,000 yards. To me, what he was saying was, hell yeah, I want 4,000 yards. He said it in a nice way. You know, he wants to be the first guy to do that. I do like the fact he said that I was brought here to do that. But yet that's what guys are there for. You know, I mean, that's what teammates are there for to help them get to those incentives. I would do that for Robbie. Like if Robbie ever got a hit incentives, I'd be excited. I might get a little extra cash or something. But when they did get it, you would get excited for them. That's what you play the game for. It's teammates ship, it's camaraderie and all that kind of stuff.

3:09.2

So you get excited for them.

3:10.3

And hopefully there's a lot of guys' contracts,

3:13.5

hopefully in a lot of guys' contracts, they get rewarded this weekend.

3:16.7

Did you think that we might see this version of Caleb Williams by this point this year?
