Welcome back to the Mini-Comps show featuring Lenny, only NFL podcast.

0:08.9

One of the hosts thinks the game already happened.

0:11.4

The corgi races, Pro Bowl.

0:13.5

I was there.

0:14.6

I saw it in person.

0:15.7

It was electric.

0:16.5

It was electric.

0:17.8

The corgis are actually from the cities of the teams they were representing. They fly the corgis in. I got to take my photo with a corgi named Sam, who's from Long Island, who was wearing a Giants jersey. That's very cute. The owners had exactly the Long Island accents you would dream of. That's actually really cute. I did not know the corgis. We're flown in. That's very fun. Lenny would be a disaster at an event like that. That voice has, of course, been so lack for those who are listening. We are here on Radio Row. It is as chaotic, as usual. It's always so weird. Every time we do this pod, it's like 3,000 miles apart, and then all of a sudden it's four feet. And there's no headphones. What is the number one question you've been getting about this game other than the obvious,

0:56.1

like, what's the score? I've got a lot of, like, you know, what's the big matchup? Like, what's the number one? I think that's a big thing this year. It's like, oh, the JSN Christian Gonzalez is at all. Well, that is legitimately very fascinating question. And I'm always like, it's a very fascinating question. It's going to happen on like 25% of the plays, though, right?

1:11.2

So you don't want to overreact with it.

1:12.3

But I think that's the one I'm getting so far.

1:14.7

Uh... fascinating. And I'm always like, it's a very fascinating question. It's going to happen on like, you know, 25% of the plays, though, right?

1:11.2

So you don't want to overreact to it.

1:12.3

But I think that's the one I'm getting so far.

1:29.3

I have been asked a lot about the coaching matchup, which I think is really interesting. This is kind of the coach of the year bowl, which is fun. Can we get an emotions check on you? Like how are we five days out of a Seattle Seahawks Super Bowl against the New England Patriots in an unbelievable Cinderella season?

1:29.3

I feel very relaxed. I don't know if I buy it. No, I buy it. You seem relaxed. Yeah. Well, I feel like I have a good handle on this game. I actually felt like, you don't feel that way. Okay, good. Well, that's why we're here to do this podcast. I actually felt like Eagles Chiefs, I didn't have my arms around it because I just couldn't get, figure out how much the line of scrimmage discrepancy would be a factor. A lot, it turns out. This one, I feel like I have a better understanding about those teams. Although I would argue, and we can start on the, when the Seahawks have the ball, that side is a little bit wonkier to me.

2:02.4

Yeah.

2:03.0

Because you have a quarterback in Sam Darnold and a defense in New England who were very different in the postseason from who they were for a good chunk of the regular season, both better.

2:17.3

So there's a little bit of like, like, you know, for this podcast, when I do all my

2:21.2

matchups, I like to do splits, full season, half season, postseason.

2:26.3

And the Patriots defense is just so hard.

2:29.5

They're hard to get your arms around because they've been such a different unit in
