Our 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. Craft beer mogul. Are you drinking the Kool-Aid? I'm drinking a long snap for I-G-A. Patrick Manil. At least we're talking about a coach taking his shirt off and not firing. Yes. You know what I mean? All we've been doing the last few years of talking about it. Oh, what he was doing

0:37.5

on his dance.

0:38.3

I thought about that.

0:39.1

Or his hair cut. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. His great Gatsby party. Yes. Yeah. His bees. Yeah, that's right. Everyone buzz in the tower there. Patrick Manley with Spiegel and Holmes

0:53.6

And a ton of stuff, of course, the Manley snap.

0:56.1

On 670 the score. We love Patrick Manley. He's a good man and thorough. He joins us now on the Circa Resort and Casino Hotline, Circle Las Vegas.com. Hello, Patrick. What's happening, gentlemen? How are we doing? Oh, yeah, we won. We won the game. That's why I brought all my bees to help celebrate the win. We're going to let them loose. Oh, no, stop stinging. Stinger. Stop doing it. That's what would have happened with a Matt Eberfluse celebration, but we don't have that. We got Ben Johnson. No, we don't. No, it's better.

1:27.6

It's much, much better.

1:28.9

It's much better, guys. Even after that loss against the Packers, I think we, I felt like we watched two playoff teams, right? I don't feel like we, you know, in the years past, we've just watched us lose to the Packers. And I felt like, you know, it's disappointing we lost, but I'm not upset.

1:43.6

Like I'm not discouraged, I guess is the word about the Bears right now.

1:46.7

It felt like a playoff game. you know, it's disappointing we lost, but I'm not upset. Like I'm not discouraged, I guess is the word about the Bears right now.

1:46.7

It felt like a playoff game, Patrick.

1:49.1

It did.

1:50.6

Yeah, I did.

1:51.1

I mean, I just, you have two good teams.

1:54.0

I was curious of who was going to show up with the Packers because they've kind of been up and down all year long.

1:58.3

And then Jordan Love showed up.

1:59.7

And he's been the kind of the engine behind that entire team. And he obviously dissected Dennis Allen that defense with their blitzing and man-on-man defense. And then, you know, I was hoping Caleb would pull it out at the end. So what I'm kind of saying is I was hoping there were two playoff caliber quarterbacks. And hopefully Caleb will learn from that. But it did. It felt like a playoff game.

2:23.0

Yeah, Jordan Love is definitely ahead of the curve, as he should be in year number six in the NFL, which feels impossible, frankly. There was a dirty kick that went awry there from

2:29.8

Cairo Santos. Is that just the cost of doing that kind of business? For those who don't know,

2:35.6

it's an intentionally ugly kickoff that's meant to try and pin the opposition. But

2:40.5

Cairo hit it short. What do we do about it? Yeah, I read some of High Tower's quotes today about

2:46.1

it. I guess it was after Cairo hit the 41-yard field goal. He felt confident in him doing it.
