| 0:00.0 | If you're new to Evan and Teke, when we convict you of either getting something really wrong or stealing someone's opinion like Sean did to initiate the L over a year ago, we forced you to wear an L. |
| 0:11.6 | And Tiki's daughters and Tiki's wife made a bunch of beautiful Ls with different colors on it. |
| 0:16.5 | And the only way you're forced to wear an L is if unanimously the other two people on this show say, yes, you have to wear it. And I'm the one bringing up charges against myself. Wow. And I will allow Tiki and Sean to decide if it is L worthy and we'll do that coming up in the next 15 minutes. And yes, it is Super Bowl related. Now, speaking of the Super Bowl, congratulations to you. Thank you. You know why. Of course, because I won. I won the postseason. That's not what I meant, but okay. What else are you going to... Tiki is right though. He got the Super Bowl right and he won the postseason picks. I thought your brethren and you as the captain of it would be very happy that a running back won a Super Bowl |
| 0:54.9 | MVP. Yes, that's absolutely right. Finally, because the last time that this happened, |
| 1:00.0 | you know, what's Terrell Davis? Torel Davis? And that was because he rushed for like 190 yards, |
| 1:04.7 | whatever the heck it was. He had a ridiculous Super Bowl after, no, the year before he rushed for 2,000 yards. And then he won the Super Bowl MVP. He won the Super Bowl MVP in 97 and then John Elway won at the following year in 98 when they completed the back to back. Right. But that's the last time a running back won the Super Bowl MVP. It's crazy. Think how long that's been. It really is. And as the second half was going on, I kept thinking to myself, who is the Super Bowl MVP? Oh, I knew it. Half-time. You knew his cat, because of the numbers were just so... He had 94 yards and how, I don't know how many receiving yards, but it was insignificant. He ended up with two catches for 26 yards. He ended up with 27 carries for 135 yards. He basically had 100 total yards in the first half. |
| 1:46.3 | And there was no offense in the game. Yeah. So I was with you that he was a main candidate. Do not get me wrong. I am not dismissing him. But what I kept wrestling with is, wait a second. The Seattle Seahawks had a legitimate chance. And at the time of me thinking this, they were doing it to be the first team ever to shut out their opponent in a Super Bowl. |
| 2:02.4 | Yeah. |
| 2:02.7 | And if that happens, don't we have to give the MVP to a defensive player? Yeah, but to whom? Weather spoon. Witherspoon. He was all over the play. You're asking me to name one guy. That's my guy. I would have given it to the hole. he forced that play and then he had the other sack. |
| 2:17.9 | How about Julian Love for that interception? |
| 2:19.6 | No, that was a gimmie. |
| 2:20.4 | I know, I it to Hall. He forced that play and then he had the other sack. How about Julian Love for that interception? No, that was a gimmie. I know. I'm just |
| 2:21.0 | kidding. I do agree with you guys that there wasn't an obvious person. That's the problem |
| 2:25.5 | for the defensive side of the ball. There wasn't someone who was so heads and a heel |
| 2:29.8 | above everything else. The other thing I would ask you then is, what about Jason Myers? |
| 2:35.6 | Because Jason Myers was responsible for literally the only offense until the game was pretty |
| 2:41.6 | much out of reach when AJ Barner had his touchdown from Sam Darnold. |
| 2:44.7 | Yeah. |
| 2:45.2 | So would you have considered Jason Myers who set the record for most field goals in a Super Bowl? |
| 2:49.9 | 17 points he had. 17. Would you have considered Jason Myers as damn deep? When the party we were at, people were talking about the kicker. And what would you say? The kicker is never won by the way. Ever. And I was trying to remember if Vinatieri had ever won one. No. Because, but he wasn't, he wasn't kicking six field goals or five field goals. |
| 3:08.2 | It was just the game winner. |
| 3:09.4 | Right, yeah. |
