Vic Fangio smells a rat and wants answers!!! Are things being done to the kicking balls? Is someone putting helium in the balls? This segment spirals into some Bum Phillips quotes that bamboozled Tobin!
00:00Because we were talking about this yesterday with the kicks
00:01because Nick Fulke kicked like a 60-yarder.
00:04And we're like, hey, man, that's suspicious.
00:07Well, Vic Fangio, Fangs, the old man's antennas are up.
00:13And he smells a rat when it comes to these kicking balls
00:17that are going around.
00:19And Fangs wants answers.
00:22These kicking balls that they changed this year
00:24have drastically changed the kicking game.
00:27Field goals in particular.
00:31So it's almost like they need an asterisk here
00:34like it was the live ball error
00:35or the asterisk for those home runs bonds
00:39and Sosa and McGuire were hitting.
00:42You know, the way they've changed the ball,
00:46the NFL, the kicking ball,
00:47has drastically changed the field goals.
00:50Is the shape different?
00:53No.
00:54Oh, my goodness.
00:55You can ask Clay about it when he gets in here.
00:57But in years past, the officials would rub them down
01:03or other people would rub them down.
01:05That's not true.
01:06Now the balls are in-house all week.
01:09And they kick those balls that they've had
01:11and nobody else touches them.
01:13They've done that.
01:14The guy in Dallas is going to hit a 70-plus yarder this year.
01:17You can just book it.
01:18No.
01:19That's not true.
01:20That's not true.
01:22That is 100% inaccurate.
01:25Do tell.
01:26They have always, the kicking balls for years,
01:31the kickers have gotten the balls.
01:33You can treat those balls.
01:35I told you how they treat them.
01:36They scruff all the wax off of them
01:39because they come all nice and shiny.
01:40Scrub the wax off of them.
01:42They submerge them in water and pump them up
01:47to over-inflate them.
01:50Then they dry them off and stretch that leather out
01:52so that you ever notice when you see a kicker kick it off,
01:55he mashes the ball and it looks real soft?
01:57Yes.
01:58That's why.
01:59Because those balls have been treated.
02:01Well, let me ask you this.
02:01Do they have to, in passers, do they have to approve them?
02:04For example, I know in boxing,
02:07you get to have a certain amount of gloves.
02:10The commission has to approve them
02:12and then you have to pick a glove from there to approve.
02:14So does the ref have to go in?
02:17It's a bag of balls.
02:18It's like the kicking balls,
02:19you have a bag of 12 balls.
02:21And they inspect the balls,
02:24make sure everything is okay or whatever.
02:26And then you play with them during the course of the game.
02:29If you notice, a kicking ball has a K on it in the corner.
02:33They write a K on it because those balls have been treated
02:35differently than all the other balls.
02:38Now, the regular footballs,
02:40the regular footballs are,
02:43those are the balls he's talking about.
02:45They just, they show up brand new balls, right?
02:49They're not treated or anything like that.
02:52That's why sometimes when it gets really cold,
02:55the wax on the ball makes the ball slippery.
03:00Right?
03:00So, like, yeah, no, he's 100% wrong.
03:04I don't know, dude.
03:05He's always been,
03:06I wait, wait, before yesterday,
03:09before we even talked about what Vic Fangio had to say,
03:13what did I explain to you?
03:14No, you said that they'll throw him in the dryer
03:16and things like that.
03:18But it's something like this.
03:20Okay, so this is something that has been done.
03:22First of all, I would be, listen,
03:24let me explain something to you.
03:27It's Nick Folk's problem.
03:29Right?
03:30Because he ain't bodied by Jake.
03:32All these other guys look fit.
03:34Right.
03:34And he goes out there breathing heavy
03:36and kick from 60.
03:38Then we got questions.
03:39No, but I all, that's what I thought.
03:41Like, I was like, oh,
03:41we're just breeding different kickers.
03:43But when the old man is kicking balls,
03:45like, his career high at 40.
03:47Fangio's got a point.
03:49Fangio's, like, he's got to have something like,
03:51hey, is there something that's changed with the balls?
03:53Like, even, are they pumping helium in them?
03:55Like, what the hell's going on?
03:57Helium doesn't.
03:58I don't know, dude.
03:59Didn't Ray Guy do that?
04:01Wasn't that a thing?
04:02No, Ray Guy had a horse leg.
04:04Didn't they say that he put helium in the balls?
04:07It did.
04:10I swear that's a story, Brittany.
04:11I swear to God that's a story.
04:13He's looking at me like I'm an idiot,
04:14but I swear that's an urban legend.
04:17I'm looking it up right now.
04:19I just don't think that would even work, right?
04:25No, it wouldn't.
04:26Can I just ask you a question?
04:29What?
04:30Yeah.
04:32Why do you go out of your way
04:34to make us both look like we've never been around the game?
04:38You do.
04:39That's a famous urban legend.
04:42If you put helium in a football or basketball,
04:45what do you think is going to happen?
04:47Nothing.
04:48I mean, it's heavy, right?
04:49Correct.
04:51Here it is.
04:51AI review.
04:52The first thing, first of all,
04:54when you type in Ray Guy on Google,
04:56the next word that comes up is helium.
04:58Okay?
04:59The rumor about Hall of Fame punter Ray Guy
05:01using helium-filled footballs
05:03was widely circulated from an accusation in 1977
05:06by Houston Oilers coach Bum Phillips.
05:09Bum Phillips is a thick, thick fancy all over again.
05:12That guy used to say all kinds of crazy crap.
05:15Are you kidding me?
05:16The go-to guy, you can't pick the crazy.
05:22Go look at some of Bum Phillips' comments.
05:25He was a Looney Tunes.
05:26Kind of scared to.
05:27Okay.
05:28He was a Looney Tunes.
05:29The accusation.
05:31After a 1977 game, Houston Oilers coach Bum Phillips accused
05:34Oakland Raiders of using helium in their footballs
05:37to give Ray Guy an advantage with his high hang time punts.
05:41The Oilers retrieved one of Guy's footballs
05:43and sent it to a lab at Rice University for analysis.
05:46But the lab test found that the football was filled with ordinary air,
05:50debunking the helium claim.
05:51So you had a Looney Tunes, a Looney Tunes making a comment,
05:55and you ran with it 40 years later?
05:5850 years!
05:59I don't know.
06:00Oh my goodness.
06:01Because somebody accused somebody,
06:03he's too good.
06:04He must have helium in it.
06:05First of all, what kind of jackass would even suggest that,
06:10knowing that helium is not going to do anything to a football?
06:13Dude, it was the 70s.
06:14He doesn't know.
06:15Exactly!
06:17Would you just admit, now that I've read it,
06:21it does sound kind of crazy.
06:24Right?
06:25They called him Bum Phillips for a reason.
06:29No, so, listen.
06:32So here's what I remember about Bum Phillips growing up.
06:35Right?
06:37Bum Phillips, they went to the playoffs one year,
06:39and I think they went to the championship game when he was with Houston.
06:46Or with the Saints.
06:47And then he coached for the Saints for a minute.
06:50And his was his postseason comments.
06:57This year, we banged on the door.
07:00Next year, we're going to knock that son of a bitch down.
07:03That is a quote.
07:04That's the first thing that goes on.
07:05Yes!
07:06Yes!
07:06Dude!
07:08Everybody thought that guy was Looney Tunes.
07:11And his son was the opposite.
07:13Do you want to hear?
07:14His son is Wade Phillips?
07:15Yes!
07:16Never even...
07:17I don't even know what Wade Phillips sounds like.
07:19Do you want some famous Bum Phillips quotes?
07:21Bum Phillips used to wear the cowboy hat.
07:24Will Stetson.
07:25Yes!
07:26Dude!
07:27Looney Tunes!
07:28What are you talking about?
07:30These are the best quotes from Bum Phillips, according to Omri.
07:34Yes!
07:34He was a caricature.
07:36What are you talking about?
07:38And you...
07:39Without knowing this, you take something that you didn't even know the man said.
07:45Didn't rank I in the helium?
07:47What are we doing?
07:48He said, number one, there's two kinds of coaches.
07:54Them that's fired, and them that's going to be fired.
07:57Yes, I'm telling you.
07:59Keep going.
08:00I'm telling you, this guy was a piece of work.
08:03It was much CTV to get some kind of entertainment out of a team that wasn't playing well.
08:09Bum Phillips also said, the harder we played, the behinder we got.
08:13Now, I'm telling you, I'm telling you, he was, he, well, you want to talk about a man's
08:22man, right?
08:24Bum Phillips said, mama always said that if you can't rain on you, you're indoors.
08:34Wait, just imagine, just imagine the people listening to Mike McDaniel if they had to listen
08:40to that too.
08:40Dallas Cowboys may be America's team, but the Houston Oilers are Texas's team.
08:47That's good.
08:48I like that.
08:49Didn't he, I think he, he, he went from Houston to New Orleans, right?
08:52I don't know.
08:53If I'm not mistaken.
08:55Dude, I'm telling you.
08:57What a hat.
08:57Like, you, like, you said, Bum Phillips said, oh, no.
09:03He was the Saints head coach from 81 to 85.
09:07Yes.
09:09Yes.
09:09I think 81 to 85, and then they fired him, and then went 10 and 0.
09:17Tate South says, why does he sound like Zach Seeler?
09:19Because that's how, dude, he wore a cowboy hat, and he talked, and everybody was like, wow.
09:28Oh, and Tobin, 50 years later, is now quoting Bum Phillips.
09:34Do you realize who you're quoting?
09:36Think about that.
09:37Then wait, you read some of these quotes and then say, oh, yeah, didn't Ray Guy use helium?
09:42Now I tell you who said it.
09:47Are you believing it now?
09:50You see what I'm saying?
09:51Oh, my goodness.
09:53He said, quote, you fail all the time, but you aren't a failure until you start blaming someone else.
10:02What?
10:03Yes.
10:04Yes.
10:05That's Bum Phillips.
10:07Are you with me yet?
10:08Do you understand now?
10:10I don't mind people thinking I'm stupid.
10:12But I don't want to give them any proof.
10:16What the flip is he saying?
10:19Dude, I'm telling you, I'm telling you, like, Bum Phillips was a piece of work.
10:27It was must-less.
10:29You think, you know, when you hear the, they show the thing, playoffs, right?
10:34That was just, that was just this much of Bum Phillips' repertoire.
10:37That dude has some sayings.
10:39He says, if I die, if I drop dead tomorrow, at least I know I died in good health.
10:47There you go.
10:53Welcome.
10:54Welcome to the Bum Phillips experience.
11:00Oh, my goodness.
11:01You are.
11:01You are.
11:04He said once, I don't know if I like this.
11:06I'm not going to say this quote because I don't know.
11:08I don't know what Bum Phillips is, if he had any controversy in his past.
11:12Nah, I don't know.
11:14I'm telling you.
11:16He once said on Warren Moon, that boy could throw a football through a car wash and not get it wet.
11:24Is that his way of saying he had a hose?
11:26Keep in mind, look, wait, you want to know what's interesting about Warren Moon?
11:33One of the reasons why he didn't get drafted and had to go to the Canadian Football League because they said he was too short.
11:40Jeez.
11:41Think about that and think about where we are now.
11:45Warren Moon, when I was in Minnesota, that dude threw the prettiest football I have ever seen till this day.
11:53You know how sometimes quarterbacks throw balls and it wobbles a little bit?
11:58He never threw a ball that wobbled.
12:00I can't believe this.
12:01I can't believe these are real quotes.
12:02Yes.
12:03Do you believe me now?
12:05Look.
12:06All right, dude.
12:07Vic Fangio.
12:08I mean, what am I supposed to do?
12:10So Vic Fangio is like he's – we need to check these footballs.
12:19He did warn us about Cam Smith.
12:22He was on point on that.
12:23Yeah, everybody is getting bigger, stronger, and better at their craft.
12:28Quarterbacks, running backs, D-linemen are – like you got D-linemen running four fives now, brush-ins, right?
12:37But the kicker can't.
12:39The kicker is only supposed to be able to make a 50-yarder throughout the history of the game.
12:44And keep in mind, a lot more of these kickers are playing soccer, and a lot more of these kickers are not coming from necessarily a background of kicking.
