00:00Good morning. So ESPN did an article not too long ago here and all of their experts picked the Super Bowl and all 11 experts in the article picked the Seattle Seahawks to win the Super Bowl.
00:11So I feel really good all of a sudden about the New England Patriots to win the Super Bowl. It makes me feel great. I'm excited about it. I can't wait.
00:18I am a little nervous about this Drake May injury. I'll be completely honest with you.
00:22Um, it, he hasn't looked good through the playoffs. I don't know if it's something that's been lingering and got worse with the Hufanga hit, if it kind of appeared because of the Hufanga hit.
00:32I'm, I don't know. I, I think the reason I'm nervous is because we have so many questions because there's so much unknown and not just, we're not getting the information.
00:43And that's just kind of how sports teams go about their business. They don't want to give you the information because they don't want other people to know.
00:48And I get it, but it just, it makes me anxious to think that Drake May's throwing shoulder is in any way hurt.
00:55Uh, I think the one thing he has going for him is his ability to run the football.
00:59You say he kind of showed that in the, in the Broncos game, but I know Curtis felt like it is an under discussed story.
01:05People aren't worried about it as much. I, I, for one am worried about the, uh, Drake May shoulder.
01:10When it comes to the 11 that, that, that you spoke about, did they get, did they talk to them about why?
01:18Like about what, like, what's the, is it the defense? Like, is it the, the Seahawks defense is that good?
01:24Like what, what, what's the reason?
01:26Yeah. It seems like for the most part, the majority of people think the Seahawks are just a more complete team.
01:31Uh, they think the Seahawks defense is better.
01:33Like they think, and I think this is one of the overrated things.
01:37Everybody watched what Seattle did in the NFC playoffs and they dominated the 49ers and then beat the Rams.
01:45Both teams, they had already seen twice in the season and saw for a third time.
01:49So like those division opponents and Wiggy can speak to this better than I can, but those division opponents that you see so many times,
01:55you just know more. And like, there's just way, it's way easier to game plan because you have such a better idea of what they want to do,
02:03what they do well, what they don't do well, how to attack them.
02:06And then with a team like the Patriots that they have literally never played before.
02:10And same goes for the Patriots. Like it's, it's a much more different matchup.
02:14So I think this game will be much, much closer than people give it credit for.
02:17I think it's Courtney always says it and she's spot on.
02:19I think it's recency bias when you look at how the Seattle Seahawks played, um, in the NFC championship game.
02:27Cause if you look at the NFC divisional game, you know, they were able to turn the football over.
02:32They ran the football. Well, Sam Donald wasn't throwing the ball all over the yard, but the NFC championship game,
02:37just the way that they looked from an offensive perspective and then how you've looked as the,
02:43and when I say you,
02:43the New England Patriots have looked from an offensive perspective since the beginning of the playoffs,
02:49because you're, you've already faced better defenses.
02:52Well, that's what I was just going to say.
02:54Like you have the Patriots road includes beating much better defense.
03:00Yes. Yeah.
03:01But it's, it's more about the recency bias of what your offense has looked like in those roads against these defenses,
03:09because that's what I think people are kind of looking at.
03:13Because if you go based on the regular season, statistically you scored more points or you averaged more points than them during,
03:22during that time.
03:23And you were right ahead of, ahead of them when it came to, to total yards.
03:27So statistically offensively, you were just a little bit better.
03:31And I'm not saying by much by like, you know, a hair, but when you look at the post season,
03:36how you played on offense, it pretty much in every game, I think that's what people remember.
03:41I also think shine bringing up the fact that yes, it's, it's not talked about enough.
03:44And I'm worried about Drake as well, but somebody in Twitch made a great point that after the Texans game,
03:49there was that great video of Drake with his family out there, airing out the ball, like throwing it to his brothers.
03:54If he was dealing with an injury after the Texans game, he's not out there doing that.
03:57So it couldn't, it can't just be that it's just built up over this time.
04:02Now he's dealing with the injury.
04:03It had to have happened in that game.
04:05It's so you're saying it's a specific injury that happened a week,
04:10nearly a week ago.
04:12And that is a concern.
04:13That's why your concern level is where it is.
04:16And that's more concerning because you can't go back to the Chargers game and say,
04:20he's been struggling because his shoulder has been sore.
04:22You would say that in the game against the AFC championship game.
04:27Broncos.
04:28The Broncos, that he was not great after that injury.
04:30So there were two games where he wasn't exactly Drake made,
04:33but it wasn't because of a bad shoulder.
04:34He got injured in the AFC.
04:35No, no, no.
04:36You could clearly tell this has been a, and you know,
04:39if they're able to win the Superbowl, this will be a run that we go.
04:46It was about the defense.
04:48The defense carried this team.
04:49Drake may in the offense,
04:50they were passengers and they made plays when they needed to make plays.
04:53And we'll go back to more so on the divisional game and the wild card.
04:58Then we will in the AFC championship game,
05:00but we'll look and we'll go,
05:02this is what that defense was able to do against the Seattle.
05:06So you're on record.
05:07If they are able to win this game in a week,
05:10then it is because the defense won the game for them.
05:13Yeah.
05:14I was leaning towards maybe it's the quarterback play,
05:17but then as I started to think about it,
05:19it's going to be the quarterback play and making a few plays here and there,
05:22but it's really at the end of it,
05:24it's going to be what did the defense,
05:25what were they able to accomplish against this Seattle offense,
05:29which is more run, run game.
05:31All right, Sean.
05:32Thank you, Curtis.
05:32Good morning.
05:33Good morning, Greg.
05:33So it is the storyline that will not go away every day.
05:37We get tweets.
05:38We get stories.
05:38We get inundated by people sending us national media that say the Patriots are
05:42lucky.
05:43And Sean just did a very good job explaining where they are,
05:45his concerns about Drake may every single team that has won a championship is
05:50incredibly lucky.
05:51The snowball, we all think about the fumble that was called an incomplete pass
05:57with a tuck rule,
05:58but we don't talk about the defense stopping that Raiders team with that
06:02fullback.
06:03I forget his name.
06:03Fourth and one.
06:04Fourth and one.
06:05Seymour made that play.
06:06I think it was.
06:06And so like we think about the Malcolm Butler interception,
06:10obviously one of the biggest plays in the history of the sport,
06:12but we don't talk about Dante Hightower with one shoulder bringing down
06:16Marshawn Lynch that set that play up.
06:18Yeah.
06:18So there is so many plays every year where certain things occur and you get
06:25the benefit of the doubt.
06:26And then there's certain years,
06:26I think back to that 2009 NFL life where Belichick and Brady are on the
06:30sideline and they're in this against the saints in the Superdome.
06:33And they're just like, yeah, we just couldn't figure it out this year.
06:36Just wasn't the right crew.
06:37Whatever happened.
06:38We didn't have the right chemistry.
06:38Can't get them to do what it is.
06:40I want them to do.
06:41I remember Bill saying that.
06:42So now you're here and yes, you were fortunate.
06:45Yes.
06:46You had a schedule that was based on your last place finish,
06:49but you're in the Superbowl because you should be in the Superbowl.
06:52I don't think anybody thinks the Broncos should be in over the Patriots.
06:56I don't think people think the Texans or the Chargers or any of those other
06:58teams.
06:58So I, I don't get the luck pot.
07:01I mean, Josh Allen thinks that they should be in the Superbowl.
07:04I mean, he said that yesterday.
07:06Right.
07:06But I don't get the luck pot.
07:08Like to me, the, where is the luck pot?
07:11Like what happens that you go.
07:13Stidham played and not Bo Nix.
07:15All right.
07:15But that's the nature of the beast, right?
07:17Guys get hurt.
07:17We're, we're dealing with this potentially with Drake may.
07:20I mean, so I guess that the luck part, it goes back to the schedule and that,
07:25then they, but, but there is a team every single season who has the easiest
07:31schedule in the NFL.
07:32Yeah.
07:32But doesn't the schedule get wiped out once the playoff starts, because then
07:35you played against three really good teams to get to the Superbowl.
07:39Yeah.
07:39So I like, to me, the luck pot is like when, you know, when, when people say
07:44the tuck rule, okay, the tuck rule was, you know, Bill understanding the rules
07:49and being able to say like, here's what we want to do.
07:52Like, I think there's like, I don't really get the luck pot of it because if
07:56there's a great play that's made, um, I remember in the, the Oakland game
08:01and the snow game, there was a play where I want to say, Troy Brown fumbled the
08:08ball on a punt return and Larry Izzo was right there to recover it.
08:12Right.
08:13So it's like guys making plays.
08:16Like, I don't get that to be like, Oh, that's lucky.
08:19You know, that's a guy who's hustling, making plays.
08:22I hate when they say, Oh, it's luck.
08:24It's luck because you have to then make plays, right?
08:28And when we looked at these games and it was a stupid play by Stidham to throw
08:32the ball backwards.
08:33Yeah.
08:33That's not a luck play.
08:34No, I am.
08:35There are people that are twisting themselves into pretzels.
08:39We talked about one the other day on this show, uh, Cam Newton to diminish the
08:46talent that Drake may has and to diminish the accomplishment that this team has
08:51had. And I don't, I don't get that part of it.
08:54I mean, I, you know, we talked about it, whatever it was Tuesday, but, or
08:57Wednesday, but Cam Newton comparing him, him to Rex, to Rex Grossman is no,
09:04it's just stupid at this point.
09:06Is it a bit like, I think Cam Newton, it knows that he's getting clicks and now
09:10he's just continuing it.
09:11There's no way in on this, on God's green earth that Cam Newton believes what
09:17he's saying.
09:17Like there, there's no way.
09:19Well, he does believe it.
09:20I don't know what I would say to what I would say to him, if he's saying the
09:26performance that Drake may has had through the playoffs was similar to a Brad
09:31Johnson was similar to a Trent Dilfer because they had a really good defense.
09:35I would say, okay, I agree with you on that point.
09:37If you look at Drake made through all the post post season, he's been more of that
09:41passenger quarterback that has had a really good defense.
09:44And we've seen that in years past, you know, I mean, Tom Brady, the first
09:48Superbowl and, and, and us as an offense.
09:51But I don't think Cam Newton is talking entirely about the post season.
09:55That's my point.
09:55That's where he's out of his mind.
09:57Drake may had an historic season.
10:00Right.
10:00As a quarterback for the new England Patriots.
10:03And that's compared to Tom Brady.
10:05Right.
10:05And that's like another thing though, Greg, is that there's not a single pro bowler at
10:09a skill position.
10:10Right.
10:11So how can you minimize what Drake may is doing now when the players that he's
10:14getting the ball to are not top players in the NFL, he's in the MVP running.
10:19So whatever cam says about the, the Drake may as a player and trying to compare
10:24them to Rex Grossman, he should say, or those guys, his performance in the
10:28playoffs hasn't been great, but this guy is in, is in the running to either be the
10:33MVP or finish second.
10:35Yeah.
10:35But he wants to deny that, which is it, if I were Drake may, I would take out a
10:40restraining order against Cam, Cam Newton.
10:43And how sad is it?
10:44That's his like childhood.
10:45I don't, I don't.
10:46I know.
10:46And that's the worst part.
10:48You root for this guy your whole life.
10:50You're doing his celebration.
10:51Once you make it into the NFL.
10:52And now he's taking every chance to take shots at you on national media.
10:56It's very strange.
10:57It's and it's out of, out of nowhere.
10:59It's very, very strong.
11:00Oh, we are going to, I am going to.
11:02And I don't think it's just for clicks.
11:03Like, I understand your argument about that, but I believe this, Greg, we'll
11:08ask him because I'm going to try my damnedest to get Cam on the show.
11:12He won't get back.
11:13Neither.
11:14None of his people.
11:15No, we'll get back to me or Wiggy.
11:16We try, we try, but he'll be down there.
11:18So it'll be like, Hey, I'm going to put them on.
11:21I'm going to put them on front street.
11:22Like, listen, G, you can't be talking all that trash about New England and
11:25not come on the radio show.
11:27We, do we have time for George quick from Warwick, Rhode Island?
11:30I think we do George.
11:31Good morning.
11:32Hey guys, I was blessed to go to the last four Superbowls.
11:36So talk about the entries.
11:37It's real.
11:38I would say two of the Superbowls I went to, Brandon Cooks, if he does not get
11:42concussed and misses that game against Philadelphia in the first quarter, I think
11:46they win that game.
11:47And then the game against the Seattle Seahawks, if Jerome Lane, the safety, who
11:53was a big player in that game, doesn't break his arm or leg in the first quarter, I
11:59think that may be a different outcome as well.
12:01It can happen in the Superbowl.
12:03And you're calling that luck.
12:04You're calling that bad luck.
12:05I'm not calling that luck.
12:07That's bad luck.
12:08That's the game.
12:08People get hurt.
12:09And sometimes they get hurt in a big game.
12:12Yeah.
12:12I mean, I don't know.
12:13I mean, Philadelphia won that, they won that Superbowl based on Philly special.
12:18That's not luck.
12:19That's like, that's a smart play.
12:21But Brandon Cooks getting concussed, he was a difference maker in that game.
12:26He got concussed in the first quarter.
12:29Games can change on an injury in the Superbowl, is my point.
12:33Were the Broncos lucky to even make it to the AFC championship because Josh Allen was
12:37clearly hurt.
12:38He just had foot surgery after.
12:39Like, that's what I, you can go back and say that about every single game.
12:43There's always going to be somebody that gets banged up.
12:46And I get it.
12:46Like, you know, I get like, you know, you look at it and, and, you know, I would be
12:51like, man, if Drake May wasn't able to play, I would be like, man, this is some bad luck.
12:55But this is, this season, I think bothers those that hate the Patriots the most, even more
13:01so than the Brady Belichick years, because they have exposed the lie that their fan base
13:06has been saying for 20 years, that give us Brady and Belichick, we'll go to the Superbowl.
13:11So within five years, the Patriots get their head coach, get their quarterback, and they're
13:14in the Superbowl.
13:14You haven't been to one since Joe Namath.
13:16And I love it.
13:17I love the fact that it's driving them crazy everywhere.
13:20All right.
13:21We are at, uh, up at Loon Mountain.
13:23It's a snow show.
13:24Good morning, everybody.
13:25Thank you all for being here bright and early.
13:27We appreciate that.
