Do not adjust the space of time continuum, it is Saturday, I'm trying to do this since Thursday, that we have. It is 2 o'clock on the east coast. It is 11 a.m.
on the west coast. So the US coasters, maybe just now getting up and around, good morning. It is also known as Super Bowl Eve, throughout the land, which is why the clubhouse with Robin Cody is on the air.
We were originally trying to do this show Thursday night, and we had to push it to Friday night, and we had to push it to today. We apologize that it is taking so long to get this thing on the air, but the snowtory is BIG had a little something to say about it, and we kind of had to roll with Mother Nature. But we are here, we are live right here on Eustream.
Welcome to our Super Bowl. Can we say Super Bowl? Can we get to see it?
I'm not going to, I don't know if anything to fill a fish. Our 40th anniversary big game edition. Yeah, I'm saying that.
A couple of things. Case you've been living in a cave? Super Bowl 45 takes place tomorrow at approximately 6 p.m.
Eastern time, featuring the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Green Bay Pankers. A couple of things. This is the fourth Super Bowl, matching two teams whose history predates the NFL expansion era of 1960.
Being now the other three were Super Bowl 14, Super Bowl 41, and Super Bowl 43. So this is a fairly rare thing to happen. These two teams have nine titles between them.
This is the highest number of titles between two teams in Super Bowl history. Cody, do you know what the, the one that comes in right behind this is? By the way, I am Rob, I am joined by the, I apologize.
Super Bowl 30, Dallas and Pittsburgh. Okay, now beats it by one. So that's your, we're going to have a little trivia tidbits that I've been doing some research on this week as we get your prepared.
Cody offered up an interesting question as we were putting the, the run sheet together for today. One of the questions he asked me on an email was, How does North Texas compare to other cities that have hosted? I will say this in defense of North Texas and in defense of Jerry Jones owner of the Dallas Cowboys whose Cowboys stadium is hosting this game tomorrow.
There's no way that Jerry could have seen this coming. No, you know, I just hope Dallas is at Lumpton with Jacksonville as a one and done Super Bowl city. But I think there was mistakes made with, well, I'm going to say Dallas or North Texas, it's too spread out.
Now, this may have been grandstanding or playcating, but Gidel did say on Friday that the stadium, not the circumstances dictate who gets the Super Bowl and Dallas would definitely be in continued. Yeah, it's a, it's a, it's a stadium. It's a great facility.
One point two billion dollars. If you had been out there, even on a tour or drive by it is a massive, massive building. I'm hoping to see that Jerry might get in the, the BCS conversation to ever do expand.
I think that'd be a great place for a national title game. Let me say this. I've toured this stadium.
I've been inside this behemoth, which we hear locally and other people around the country refer to as the Death Star. Everybody talks about the screen. It's an 80 yard, 80 60 yards.
60 yards. It's a 60 yard wide, high definition, 1080p, three story high screen. I refer to this screen, like I refer to the castle at Disney World.
There is no video footage. There is no pictures. Until you see this thing, you cannot truly understand the bay.
It's, it's kind of like you're paying 500 bucks to watch a really big TV because you're so distracted by it. You don't always watch this go on the field. Huge.
You know, Dallas, you know, the Super Bowl has been played one year. Matter of fact, 1983 is a 49ers took on the Miami Dolphins. They played it in Stanford.
The Super Bowl, many inapolis. I don't want to talk about that Super Bowl. You know, many inapolis when you had the red skins and the bills.
That was kind of a weird. They never got one either. They've never been back.
Yeah. They've never been back to those to certain cities. Of course, Jacksonville.
You remember with the Philadelphia Eagles in New England Patriots. And I would say the league's been fairly vocal about not going back. Yes, Jacksonville.
People had were living on houseboats. That team may not go back to Jacksonville. But there was people living on houseboats.
There was not enough hotel rooms. It was just to be something. There was a monster.
There were some things that came through about Tuesday. Yeah, Dallas does not have a or fourth. Fourth does not have a lack of humanity, this far as hotels and restaurants and night clubs and Vinnie Halls.
Whatever you want to have I think it's too spread out. I think we needed to concentrate more on. Are we going to have everything in Dallas or everything in fourth?
I don't think you're ever going to have that in the G-Cuz. I think that you're having to drive an hour to and from everything. I think that's where this thing's just really getting deep around well I don't think you're gonna have the Dallas Fortress separation and for those of you that don't live here Allow me to explain what what I've gathered in the last 16 years of living in this town Dallas and Fort Worth are constantly competing with each other.
Yes, and Fort Worth has a everything gravitates to one side the other one's gonna get a little round Yeah, I think you always have to have this like that good and evil balance You always have to have Fort Worth always had an in in in Fjordy complex two Dallas cuz Dallas Cowboys the TV show Fort Worth was more of a cowboy you know at one time was called Hills Hathaker. Yeah. Yeah, it was uh was in is a very rustic cowboy To me it's the only place in that's Metroplex that you can go cowboy to me There's nothing cowboy about Dallas besides the Dallas Cowboys.
Well Dallas is very metropolitan. Yes, very he's gotten very metro for sure So but real quick. I've got some stuff about these two teams as do I Let's start with the green Bay Packers.
Yes entered the NFL in 1921 They will wear their home greens tomorrow. Oh, they're they're not gonna wear the white. So whether they wear their golds or the or the greens And I'm seeing a team this year.
Do you know the big stat about them this year? That's only ever happened five times I know they've won a lot on the road They've never trail by more than seven points all year. Huh, the it's the first time in 48 years at a team has done that And again only five times since 1938 12 NFL championships 12 now.
Now here's the deal here I was gonna fix that they they've only won one Actual Super Bowl correct that would be 30. No One in two we're still being dubbed the AFL NFL championship showed by both CBS and NBC Which you will never ever never see again because wasn't it CBS had the AFL rights NBC had the NFL rights You know in there and there's also if you ever see I know NFL network, which we're watching now in the studio They have been doing this all week long with their showing quite a bit of the Super Bowl's in their entirety original game shot Not one piece of footage remains from Super Bowl one Because they didn't tape it. They didn't it was gonna.
They didn't tape it. So everything you see it's highlight reals through different Things and Packer and or Kansas City chief football hitch. I do want to talk a little bit about that game if you don't mind Take it for that game We're six dollars ten dollars and twelve dollars and it didn't it didn't even sell out.
Nope. Now Let's talk about comparing that to What's going on now? I was on a site called ticket city dot com the other day And I was looking at Super Bowl tickets, but cheapest tickets I found in the 400 level Which is the very top of the whole of Calboy Stadium Section 432 row 18 upper corner Steelers side one ticket 2,156 dollars huh now I'll run to rest of these a little bit later.
I've also got average and now average prices on the day of the AFL NFL championship Your average home cost 24,600 Your median household income per year was 7,143 dollars a first class stamp was five cents gas was 33 cents a gallon A dozen eggs was 49 cents a gallon and a gallon a milk was a dollar three that last one you can kind of I can go to super target right down the road $8050. Yeah, so that one kind of the average household income of 7,100 That's crazy That's poverty level now also a great HBO documentary about this too if you haven't seen it I have seen that but Green Bay also that they have been dull tidal town of course They've got 11 NFL titles before the merger of course the great Paul horning comes to mind Notre Dame of course Jerry Cramer if you listen to his day-not-on-new stream Jerry Cramer number one player Not any of the halls right if you then let's it's some of the archive if someone was an after this show Yes, but a lot of great names have come through Green Bay of course Brett far of course sterling sharp never one ring though But Lombardy's Packers is what this organization that is the that is what this is known for another great HBO documentary on him But the last time they were here 1996 so it's been 15 years since the Packers were in the super by Denver. Yes.
They were a 636 postseason win percentage They are 28 and 16 that is the best in NFL history They have 12 of course those 28 postseason wins. They're tied for third all time You know who's right behind him One of your favorite teams probably the San Francisco 49ers. They are fourth with 26 very well played sir Yeah, so but that that's Green Bay to nut shell of always the Green Bay's one of those teams that I've always kind of Kind of not not that I loved them.
I know I being in Dallas when the cowboy packer robbery was going I wasn't even born If you think about it ice the ice bowl Mean, that's night. I love watching stuff 65 six so the cowboys and the Packers had a very fierce robbery at one time But Green Bay man, they're one of those teams also the smallest NFL market is Green Bay I guess they are aren't they? Um, the Packer name comes from the meat packing plants.
They're around Green Bay So you've got the steel workers versus the meat Packers in this deal. Speaking of the steel workers Let's look at the other side of this coin as we go to Pitsburg Pennsylvania The Pittsburgh Steelers entered the league in 1933. I'd known as Stealemic name I don't think that's our mascot was oh, they were the Pittsburgh pirates Actually, yeah, they will wear the road whites a couple things about that The Steelers are three and oh and Superbowls where they wear the white uniforms the road whites have won the last Six straight Superbowls.
I think they have a sharp alternate with the black with their I was shocked that they didn't make a rule that both teams could wear a color and Pittsburgh Wouldn't wear the black the yellow those numbers. You know the last six teams have won it Yeah, the people the team that wears the whites 27 and 17 oh yeah, so they've kind of got that working form They've gotten here eight times They have one six times. They are the best in NFL history and both of those categories.
Yes Steelers made a put their first playoff appearance in 1947 Against cross state rival the and Philadelphia Eagles Champions and elementary say tied them eight and full. They were tied eight and four and forced the tiebreaker game at Forbes field Steelers lost 21 to nothing. It would be Pittsburgh's only playoff game for the next 25 years But they are 33 and 19 all times hosties.
So prize for the best in NFL history with who? The green baby your Dallas Cowboys. Oh, man But Pittsburgh wasn't an instant win franchise.
I mean they went through some walls from 47 to 62 And he make the playoffs but the 1970s if you think about football in the 70s and you don't think about the Pittsburgh Steelers Then you had you were drinking cowboy cool later Oakland Raider cool laid. I'm so excited that you said Yeah, because I got a stat for you from 1933 to 1968 the Pittsburgh Steelers had a 388 win percentage from 1969 until now 609. Yes, they that tells you exactly what you really became on one Super Bowl nine 10 13 and 14 in the 70s The more remembered for Super Bowl nine and 10.
I mean not 10 and 13 against Dallas Both four point wins Do I remember a conversation between Roger Stavack and Troy Eggman where he thanked Troy for finally beaten Pittsburgh Yeah, four point losses very Dallas has very close ties to both of these teams If your Dallas beats green bay at the cotton bowl, they win Super Bowl one and it's called the landry trophy Wow, and if they win Super Bowl 10 or 13 Pittsburgh only has five so the these two teams are and that's why you're thinking a lot of heat Superals in Dallas against Dallas is too big as championship rivals That's I think it's why you're seeing so much heat around this Super Bowl, but I have a fear it's gonna be moved for ice Well the last year that last time they were here just two three years ago Dallas and eight which is kind of how barbed wire got to work his His loophole that got him to win dark horse. Yes Rockless burger could win his third which would tie him with Brady and eight men for second all time Who's got the record two guys to try to be Montana and Bradshaw well done sir well played Rockless burger has ten postseason wins he's tied all time With eight men and Brady to get there by their seventh season. That's the important but I'm gonna taste them at and and we'll get in the quarterbacks It's where we're headed next real quick.
I can't now. I'll never put those three people in the same level. I will not either There's something about Ben Yes, he's second to one guy in postseason win percentage.
Who is it? Postseason uh-huh all-time all-time. Gotta be Montana.
Nope MVP of Super Bowl technical one oh bar star. Yes sir Rockless burger is ten and two stars nine and one so he is a higher one I got a challenge. Yeah one get at eight and two Bradshaw and Brady both tied at 14 and five.
Wow. They're coach Mike Tomlin He lost his first postseason game ever has won the the five cents he is you know You don't really see a lot of organizations that get good hires back to back But they rolled in the bill tower era right into Mike Tomlin and really did not miss a beat Tomlin he had a little problem with that shadow at first but overcame it fairly quickly if he wins tomorrow He'll be the eight different NHL NFL coach in history to win six straight. Yes the others Joe Gibbs Jimmy Johnson Chuck Null and Don Shula have six Shanahan and Chuck Null yes two he is one one six straight and one seven straight one body with nine number one You want to take a guess at this one Landry nope Bella check with ten 10 straight postseason one ring one ring How do you have two nine?
Well both only one one Wow, yep Oh, I was thinking now you're thinking billock billock billock. Oh, okay from my bad Me car. Yeah, no New England's got a lot more in one ring.
That's for sure But as far as the way things have gone here this week Peter King of SI has declared this at debacle It's just it's been bad luck for Jerry us He really you can't blame him because he planned it well. I mean there have been Activities in this town for two weeks. Yeah, I mean I thought it and you can't foresee the weather.
That's I mean we couldn't have for seeing this you and I talked about this all week where I've lived in this town 16 years this week you've lived in this town you're entire life neither one of us have ever seen weather Like the Dallas Fort Worth Metroplexes had in the last four days. No, it's been nuts I mean six inches of snow overnight On Thursday That's insanity For some of you you're like I we deal with that every day We don't yes We're not prepared as far as plows and all that we're just not prepared for that kind of stuff But I'm excited this is a really this is a dream match up as far as you go super balls with two really good good quarterbacks The winners will get 83,000 a piece losers will get 42,000 a piece We talk about quarterbacks. We'll start we'll do the same way packers and Steelers air and Rogers He's The team is fifth in the league and passing this year.
He's got a quarterback rating of 101.2 He's passed for 3,922 yards 28 touchdowns and 11 picks behind him Matt flim and bat flim And Texas text Graham Harold wow So same working if you're green bay you need to keep your starter in quarterback active. Yes Aaron Rogers is a guy that Remember he if you're doing think back to the NFL draft he was in he went to the University of Cal He was a guy who fell very very late into that draft was predicted as a top 10 our top at least a top five draft pick and He kind of just sat there sat there sat there. I think green bay picked him and let's be honest He was groomed to be the heir apparent to Brett Farve and Brett Farve at one point even said I'm not here to To mentor anybody I'm here to play football.
Well, so Aaron Rogers kind of had that problem out of a gate He was kind of just kind of working his way through it. Yes, you know, he had his coaches But he didn't have anybody that was really willing no, and I think bringing him the hacker fan every team has this I think it was it's Evelyn with Miami if you weren't Dan Moreno after he retired. Have a chance as a dolphin Dallas with Roger Stahlback and Trayton in the 49ers.
It took Steve Young a quite a while to get things going in San Francisco after Retirement of Joe Montana and do Aaron Rogers the guy. I think he's a winner I think he's a winner. I like him if I like his poison the pocket is something that Sometimes his offensive lines are very good, but when things are going bad he's not he's he's no freak out He's not gonna throw a bunch of stuff 28 for 11.
It's just touched down the quarterback ratio He's known for close to 4,000 yards So he's had a very good year. I Was something we talked about in the show especially I do when it comes to the NFL It's patience. Yeah, he's not a quarterback that panics He stays it's like we've always got that poison the pocket It's like you called this this is a dream matchup.
Yes, you know right now Last I knew the packers in Vegas were two and a half point fake still are has not moved But I look for Aaron if the Green Bay Packers win. I believe Aaron Rogers more than likely is your most valuable player Into this game now the other started that coin Ben Rockless burger had a quarterback rating of 97 this year He threw for 3,200 yards 17 touchdowns and five picks behind him We have firing left-witch and Charlie batch now both of these guys are no slouches So I think from a depth standpoint at the quarterback position the Steelers have a little bit of an edge here Yeah, we know Charlie batch got at the team to a three and one start beginning of the year a lot of people thought that Pittsburgh Extenders would start to season at least one in three or oh and full and they had written off those first for you They beat Atlanta. Yes, they did.
I mean they they really had a very good start to the season Rothless burgers gonna be a guy that I think happened sometimes is I think he's gonna be remembered for all the off the field stuff As he was Wednesday when GMC had footage am at a Fort Worth piano bar Which he's done every Super Bowl on that night. He was in before curfew, but people still made a big deal I think Rothless burgers gonna be a guy that is gonna be more remember for off the field shenanigans Great quarterback Think about Rothless burger. It's very hard to bring him down and tackle him once you make contact Well, the one thing I worry about for Ben Rothless burger tomorrow is very simple It is he who stands in front of him.
Yes, bouncy is out of the guy was finally announced Friday I think he was out all along. I think he was too. It's just the game these coaches play.
Yeah, but the question is This kid that's in front of him now There we played it down all year The thing about pit and I will make predictions after our list end of the show Pitsburg seems to find ways to win these type of games despite Ben Rothsburger He played horrible against the jet. Yes, he did. Rothless burger to me did not play well against the jets But there was something about him that it seemed like he made the play the third and six got the first down I don't know Ben's a winner both these guys are winners Ben's got two rings been there done that I think that's another thing you've got to remember Well, then let's move on to the running back position.
I will say this flow Zell Adams congratulations. Yes Congratulations to him. Yeah after being on some horrible Horrible cowboy teams here flow Zell Adams is in the Super Bowl in Dallas At the running back position the packers Brandon jacks and a hundred and ninety rushes for seven hundred and three yards and three touchdowns this year James Starks One nine rushes for a hundred and one yards, but in the playoffs he had 70 rushes for 263 in a touchdown Then you've got the guy everybody chance his name John 84 rushes for 281 yards and four touchdowns this year not a real slouch in the bunch in my opinion All those sharks start really come alive until the past but since things have gone on since To me really honestly since the New York game the giant game at Lambo when we just saw them Beat like a dog again.
Well, I'd actually lost New England the week before let me go man Is this team even gonna make the make the playoffs Starks to me's been your late season playoff work course, and I think he could be a difference in this in this game Oh, that's that's great depth there. Yes, they're being great death Who I don't think it's enough credit in my opinion that kid played well this year now the other side of that coin my god Rashard Mendenhall again drafted ahead of Felix Jones drafted ahead of who's the other running back? He was drafted ahead of oh we will Julius Joe yet Yeah, Julius Jones.
Yeah, Julius Jones Chris Johnson over Chris Johnson This year three hundred and twenty four touches for 1,273 yards 13 touchdowns in the post season 47 rushes for a hundred and sixty seven yards and three touchdowns That's good enough But then you throw in the well-day more who's had 33 rushes for 99 yards Isaac Redman Who said 52 rushes for 247 yards and Jonathan Dwyer who's had nine rushes for 28 yards this year Both of these teams if you're gonna have to run the ball which that really the weather isn't gonna be In fact here because the roof will be closed if you've got to pound the ball Both of these teams are almost even yes, Mendenhall's a guy You know the lifeblood of the Pittsburgh scissor's they draft very very very well always have yes, sir Mendenhall was a guy he was this decent at the rest of Illinois I don't think anybody thought he'd have the impact in NFL He took a ball room dancing class in the offseason kind of like kind of like when swinders with a ball on yeah Balance was a big key with him. He got in the doghouse with a head coach there pretty quick I like Mendenhall. I think is a hard runner.
I just don't know if he's gonna be able to run as easily It seemed to against the jets against the packers. I just don't think he's gonna be able to do that Well, you've got a bounce out offense. Yeah, and if you're gonna have to it like I said if you're gonna have to pound the ball I think that this disguise This guy now started to pound it get it done.
He can pound it, but I just I think it's gonna end up being Now it's wire the rookie out of Georgia Tech is a very Experience rookie. He's kind of a faster guy Is it quick and faster? I don't know about all that But he's a good change of pace back.
I just I don't know. I think when when 34's on the field They will key on him. I just I just And I think he can take take the pounding from what's on the other side of that that that packer defensive line over there I'm excited.
I'm I'm ready to see Can we have another story merge in this game besides the obvious Aaron Rogers or been losses further? And a guy that we're about to talk about here in just a little while too as we move to the wide receiver position The packers If you think packer wide receivers right now the first guy comes to mind is Donald Driver 51 catches for 565 yards this year and four touchdowns pretty good numbers But let's talk about the other guys what about there. Yeah, they have HD James Jones 77 like catches 50 catches for 675 60 itself.
Let me try that again James Jones 50 catches for 679 yards and five touchdowns Greg Jennings sir 76 catches for 1,265 yards and 12 touchdown I think I think the packer wide were especially driver in Jennings. This is their swansong. Yep, I think both of these guys the there's been a report out That I want to say That Jennings may I think it's Jennings is playing through an injury Well, you've also got at the wide out.
Yes. You've got Jordi Nelson 45 catches for 582 yards Excuse me two touchdowns In Brett Swain who said six catches for 72 yards, but you're main guys Your main your main core guys are very deep. They've done very well if you remember the Atlanta game Green Bay's wide receivers dominated that Atlanta secondary Donald drivers a guy that I think he's been around the league for a very long time with the Green Bay Packers would would very enjoy To see him get a ring and let me tell you something if Aaron Rogers can get the protection He will chuck the rock.
Yes, make no mistakes there if you can stay away from Paul Amalu you can have success throwing the ball against a Pittsburgh Steelers that that's been proven Sanchez has done it Other teams have done it throughout the season this year. You can throw on them And those Steelers wide receivers Mike Wallace 60 catches for 1,200 50 yards and 10 touchdowns and manual Sanders 28 catches for 307 yards and two touchdowns Then you get to 34 year old hines war a lot of people are saying this is it 59 catches for 755 yards and five touchdowns There's another guy and Juan Rando L 22 catches for 253 yards and then you've got Antonio Brown 16 catches for 160 to me Pittsburgh is a whole this year in the receiving department are very very very down statistically Wards down words gotten older Mike Wallace is right now. He's been's go to guy.
He is fast. He's not very tall But he's fast and that's a guy that Charles Woodson could eat his lunch all after all all Sunday Not our afternoon everyone to go with depending on where you are yes in the manual Sanders he has Brooke a rookie out of southern methods University here in Dallas I believe that he could be the X factor because he's he's physical he's fast, but he gets open He's got great hands. So if Ben needs a safety valve and don't forget he's Miller a great tie to end Yes, sir.
Ben had that's kind of been another safety valve for Ben, but I think Sanders could be kind of an X factor here In Rando L he'll drop back and throw a pass in a former quarterback at the University of Indiana So Pittsburgh got a lot of varieties. They also run quite a bit of wildcat Expect to see a little bit of trickery because if this is the game you're gonna have to do it Tomlin Tomlin's not against doing anything when when another ring I promise you that he will do things You think back to the Seattle game Super XL 40 yeah, Rando L just jumped one to ward up for half time and I thought that was the back Rader breaker for the seahawks that day Well, let's talk about defense the other side of the line you're you're a big defensive guy The packers third in total defense seventh against the pass only giving up an average of 212.7 yards per game. They are also the silver award winners second against the run giving up an average of 69.7 yards a game Something's got a gift The Steelers first in total often so total often you've got one versus three They are actually second against the pass only giving up 155 yards average and they are best against a rush Giving up an average of 52 and a half yards again now this green but this green bay defense I think is a very young defense outside of Charles Woods and another guy that I think it'd be great if Charles Woods and former Houseman trophy winner out of Michigan think it'd be great if he finally got a ring I love this green bay defense a the first one that comes to mind a guy that I thought might have been a little overrated in college AJ Hawk But he's played his dog.
He's played his tail I was here if I'm not mistaken. Oh, how stay how stay. Yes AJ AJ Hawks be coming that linebacker that green bay thought He would become of course you bring in a veteran like Charles Woods and Played a lot of years in Oakland lost one Super Bowl to Tampa Yeah, he did a little bit experience and of course clay Matthews they run her up to the AP defense at player there walk on at southern Cal Can you believe this is his second year in league in at times he looks unblockable At times you see him and go well that blood that's run through his veins.
Yeah, if I'm not mistaken But you got a nice little Isn't that a nice little pedigree. Oh, yeah, Bruce. Of course the uncle or the nephew of Bruce Matthews clay Matthews senior his dad played a lot of years for the Cleveland Browns On defense though green bay Sometimes they don't look as aggressive as Pittsburgh does I thought their defense is a little quieter They let a third string quarterback come in when they played the bears and he almost pulled that off.
Yeah, and Out of that concerns me at free safety Nick Collins is a good player that I think can really Maybe discuss some stuff if he's lined up on Heinz Ward. I think Nick Collins can shut Heinz Ward down I really like the Packers in it this and certain aspects of this game But when you talk about defense and you talk about the other side of that yes that ball game One guy one very very rarely do you see a defense that One guy makes all the difference on the planet and that one guy is captain hairdo Troy Palamolli game changer Gosh, he can he can he for some reason he can change a game in a matter of a few place Just like that guy he reminds me a lot of rod woods and rod woods and what in the hitter or intense But rod woods and was a game changer. He could do things.
Why is it a whole of fame he could do things that kind of The Noya It seems like Palamolli is not the strongest the fastest the biggest he just seems to always be there to make the play and he gives you that spark Yeah, at the lineback position. I loved I love woodly I think he's a guy he at he's averaged one sack in every in the last seven games He's had a sack every game including the playoff's nice He's a guy that can can be a lot of things a Casey Hampton the nose tackle out University of Texas here He's a guy that I think I sometimes notice a lot of pressure with rodgers comes up the middle From the nose tackles Tommy Harris had a great game against the Packers for the Bayers at nose tackle I think that's gonna be the type of guys and there could be some very big plays, but when you think about Pittsburgh other Then Palamolli You got to think of James Harrison Ran back had a nine a hundred one yard what hundred and how long was that touched on his Arizona 98 yard right for the half oh yeah, that was what three years. Yeah, so both two both 42 Yeah, three years ago.
Yeah, like 98 and a half 99 yard outside. I've never seen an outside linebacker with his speak Not very big six foot 242 I've never seen an outside linebacker with that kind of of size and speed Drop back into coverage and he can drop back out of coverage and cover that that tight end I think he could have if he's on and he's not getting the late hits and he's not getting the personal fouls I think James Harrison could have a big game We'll see he seems to get chippy and I think the the refs will be watching 92 If he gets real chippy and a surf ball start taking shots the head starts doing his bit They're gonna throw the flag Already, so I think you can say Packer Stealer's defense even all righty Well, let's talk about what's gonna happen right now middle of this thing Do we have got dollars to donuts that says you're gonna hear this song now? This is a group that's playing actually a concert tonight into Dallas for we're there at fair park Out here's my thing for those if you've been looking again if you've been living in a cave You're super bowl half-time entertainment will be will I am Fergi and those other guys called the black eyed peas even though she wasn't always with them know your black eyed peas history No, you're really no bro.

I'm sorry Did I miss the meeting this will be a disaster if there's one negative to this game besides the weather I think the matchup's gonna be great. I think it's gonna be halftime Will I am saying he will be tweeting as he performs? That's gonna work.
Yeah, that's what he said. I watch this halftime Vargy says no World wardrobe malfunctions will happen which means it will So It's what they're saying that it's gonna be a very conservative. I know last night at 10 o'clock local news They were rehearsing in the stadium.
You could see they oh no you have to and we'll talk about what I've got actually some Experiences in the day where we were practicing they were practicing inside the stadium So I don't know I'm I ever back in the day where other channels like one year Fox did like a special in living color time exactly for us time This is the year if you're another network Sunday night heat WWE Super Bowl halftime was a ladies one match the rot versus mancon for the championship This is the year to do it. Yes. This is the year where if you're if you're one of these other networks Planned something huge for halftime and roll with it because you'll get ratings.
Yes. I just I think this I think this is a disaster When it was announced I think everybody especially in this sporting world and kind of kind of went Because no I don't like ball. I think everybody was wanting the the Texas feel I know Kenny Chesney wanted this bad really his people said hey we we kind of were we were selling them They weren't selling us I don't know why the league went such a drastic different direction This is a disaster and if you by chance miss it You'll be able to listen to the fallout there in Tuesday now that heat on the east coast five on the west coast Go ahead and look at where are you going at this?

I'll be bringing those some more I'm a wing guy the brought to never a bad Situation either depends on how they're prepared You see I like the hot tub With the bell peppers and the onions is the beer and the fresh garlic and you kind of boil them that's grill them first Boil them for a little bit. That's the best way to do brought Have any green bay on conference green bay you got to have a little brought there tomorrow because they are the brought worst capital Does Pittsburgh bring anything to the table on that thing?
I can't really think of no just the six rings Well, they're calling it this stairway to seven wow is what they're calling it one back the one for What was that 30 when they played the cowboy that was one for the thumb But did that happen? I just got finally got them, but yeah The the cheese dip the case so but definitely I think the wing let me ask you this on case because I'm very very picky when it comes to case Are you a rotel velvita guy because I really when it boils down to it and not as much of a fan is Is I don't know I am a prepared differently. I am a I am a velvita ground sausage guy Really that's when I think of velvet when I think of cheese dip that's what I because my when I was a kid That's how my my dad's feel makes me does but the get some velvita melt it down and then get you some hot some some Some like breakfast sausage ground sausage miss and mix it up We got to do the recipe section on the website.

Yes burgers always good I think in case though you can't go wrong. I isn't Monday a national holiday There has been talk of that that is now here in the Metroplex it might not be this year But the day after the Super Bowl is the most used sick day of the year Yeah, maybe not locally after the weather we've had this week. There's a lot everybody needs to get their butt back work money Oh, yeah, a lot of people I've been off all week The exception to that row would be the two individuals in this studio who have both been at work all week Yeah a lot of people had since Tuesday So I don't know if it would be a lot of people you know you may have to have a note of emergency from a doctor to get their day off on Monday Unless you're like me and worked all week.
Yeah, so do that worked all week Let's get on to a little list action here. Well special list You asked me Between this there are 10 of our favorite Super Bowl's. I got your list.
I tried to change mine up. You did it We got one in count. Well, that's a little bit closer to you You put it on for years for different reasons.
I put it on mine for the I want to go first Please do we'll start it five we'll go back and forth. We'll pick up number five. I've got actually I've notes on mine But got yours so um number five for me For a lot of reasons was the the New England Patriots versus the St.
Louis Rams that was in New Orleans Now let me tell you why I like this game that would be 36 36. Yeah This was 2002 not 11. It was the first Super Bowl after 9 11 a team called the New England Patriots going to the Super Bowl if I'm not mistaken weren't they the first team and then every team after them did this but weren't they the first team that came out All the team were not introduced individually one team picked defense one team picked off and they named different players the England came out is that as a team it's been a wacky year Of course, blood so is the starting quarterback he gets hurt some unknown fifth round draft pick Ninth Tom Brady comes in then he gets our 19th pick got he gets hurt then You have the tuck rule game in the snow against Oakland where Brady gets injured and then drew blood so starts the AFC title game in Pittsburgh and wins it.
It was just a crazy year for the Patriots and plus it started a dynasty It was a great game. Yeah, you know a military mister clutch hits the field goal Brady goes on an 85 yard drive 50 seconds no time outs slinging it down the field The rest and this was in New Orleans. This was in New Orleans where we are two years from now Indian next year then back to the big easy that Indie want to make it a little dicey too if you think that wither here was mad My number five is Super Bowl Okay, the original because you have to put them on the list.
Yes. It was in Los Angeles Green Bay takes on Kansas City and wins 35 to 10 Bart star 250 yards and two touchdowns like you said He was not sold out. No, not sold out at all.
See him the the MVP of that was Max McGee And the funny thing about what he missed curfew and showed up to pre-game drunkard then cougar brand Do remember hearing about that neither one of us were alive. He died it within two years ago this time I'm talking about this we died back in 0809 fell off his roof hanging Christmas lights Good mercy. Yeah, he was MVP.
I don't hang Christmas now MVP a Super Bowl one all right number four Broncos and Packers San Diego California Super Bowl 32 Just because L-way finally got a ring I'll never forget that look on always face after they wanted yeah, and you had Brett Farve who was they had the Packers Defending Super Bowl champions at the time Brett Farve he was kind of becoming the NFL's kind of golden boy And the old man showed him up of course to play is the spin Or L-way the old man goes airborne and 360 and 360 here going. I think he may have just been touchdown Farf those interception just to finally see two future Hall of Fame quarterback and John L-way Finally getting to that that place Great guy had lost to the 40 hours the giants before that badly both of them badly But L-way finally punching that ticket to get that ring my number four Super Bowl 25 Giants bills Tampa Florida at the big summer arrow. That's still standing 20.
No, no, yeah, Tampa Bay Center's gone 20 to 19 the giants win. This is known as the wide right game. Yes, everybody thought because you know everybody said bill stands for boy I love losing Superb and it did and they almost win one wide right yep That was a a surf ball that happened another kind of a tense time nine a let on nine eleven See the desert storm started two or three days before that.
Yeah, well, officially it'd be true in for about four months This was also the Whitney Houston national anthem that became the standard They even played that every day and still were rumors about them trying to move that to Detroit because it was indoors They really picked up the surf ball and move it because of the threats we really didn't know the Iraqi government That's another show Would I remember about this game was the Giants the giant slay the demon known as a San Francisco 49ers the NFC title game and They were there Jeff hotstetler. They played with a backup quarterback Phil Sims was hurt hotstetler Then went on to do nothing after that night Except how to good mustache great mustache. That's a good one man.
I was in this Frank right scheme to Against Houston. It was that year. Oh, yes, okay my number three and I've heard people talk about this game They think this is when the Super Bowl win Hollywood You realize you're your top three all took place in the same city Hey, M-town baby To me the Cowboys and Steelers Super Bowl 10 or a lot of people say this is where the Super Bowl kind of went mainstream You had the hoop law you had the the media row the pageantry the pageantry Oh, it took a Super Bowl about a decade to really get that that pageantry to it This game remembered for the Lin swan diving catch that we see over in over which my opinion got him in the Hall of Fame Outside of four rings in the regular season Lin swan was a pedestrian wide receiver in the NFL, but he showed up in the playoffs in the Super Bowl Let me ask you this though you talk about the penetrating how the Super Bowl kind of cave into its own And I hate to I hate to get a little maybe you can call this local bias if you want to I don't care Tom Landry This is the guy that came up with the idea for Monday night.
Yes, all this was the guy Tech shram. I'm sorry. Yeah, Tom Tom Landry Shram Monday night football Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders.
Do you think if this team is not in that Super Bowl? It still takes a little while. I think it is it's a tech shram magic kind of working in the way and they'd already won one and seventy They'd already won one and seventy two To the seventy three was the dolphins of course a 72 season.
Yes, sir. So they'd already had a ring they beat the Miami dolphins. Yep, that year I still think Dallas had a swagger.
I don't think until Dallas won the Super Bowl then you get coined the America's team But then you go into Super Bowl 10 at that time Pittsburgh Garley already won one as well They had beaten Minnesota the year before a couple, you know, so they both teams were kind of coming together. Stop back Bradshaw Franco Harris. You had Tony Dorset Calvin Hill Drew Pearson Lynn Swan the doomsday defense versus the steel curtain I mean these were your two premier teams in this league.
They were playing for the biggest prize. Yeah That's why I put that on her on this is where the Super Bowl kind of became a big deal my number three Super Bowl 38 Patriots, no, did I get that wrong? Here we got Patriots Panthers that's right.
You're right. I had Rams on the right. Yeah, Patriots Panthers in Houston I have two different sheets and two different things.
Yes, this is our Jake Deloam becomes a household name. Yeah, yeah, thanks To you and you know who really had a lot to do with Deloam coming to a house for name The now deep fun to best damn sports show period. He was on there every other day in the play on Huh, and they played a huge role in him becoming a household name This was a record For a amount of time it took for the first points to be scored it took 26 minutes and 55 seconds Yeah, the tight game another one that came down to Doing one kind of making a weird play in the game to win it combined 868 yards total offense 41 by doing with 3 anyone by Carolina highest scoring quarter in Super Bowl history as 37 points are scored in the fourth quarter But no points are scored in the first or third quarter Also this was also the Janet Jackson incident, which I that that's not really why I put this on my list This was more of the other stats.
Well, it's the first time you know Carolina was an expansion team A few years and it was cool to see a very young team. It was kind of a cool for a little bit Because I'm a dynasty guy and I think this country loves Dynasty's we love dominance Tiger Woods everybody would dominate It was kind of cool to see Carolina kind of walk in and compete because everybody kept saying all this will be like nine years Broncos 5510 57 and Carolina was there but you give them you Two place Carolina kicked it out of bounds. Yep.
They just tie they come many times that screwed a team They just game they just went that went ahead by a touchdown and the kicker kicks it out of bounds And you give Brady the ball with two timeouts at his 40 at the other 40 that's poison Yep, you're gonna die But Houston Houston's never got another shot at the Super Bowl either That is kind of weird because that would rely on a great stadium right that time there was nothing around it They've bought the old Astro world torn it down more hotels. That's more of a desirable stadium than it was WrestleMania's been that he wants to go number two for me It's probably the first time I remember sitting down In watching what the Super Bowl was from beginning to end This is a Super Bowl that always takes out my mind because I remember watching it in its entirety San Francisco 49ers Cincinnati Bangalore Super 23 also in Miami. Yeah Joe Robby checks in yes More remembered for the great quarterback battle course boomer a science in quarterback Cincinnati Joe Montana for the 49ers The ending has there been a Super Bowl with that kind of a drama not a field goal No, okay the Bengals kick a 40 yard field goal for the lead with three minutes left in the game And then here we go as Joe Montana drives 92 yards in 11 plays And throws a touchdown pass the John Taylor got to end at Jerry Rice was actually six for six on the drive and that's how Taylor got open because they double Jerry Rice of course, we're running back for Cincinnati that year.
Eki woody yiki shuffle. I mean Cincinnati was a very hokey team I had a hokey coat Sam wash Okay forward Tampa Bay great yeah But Joe Montana walking to the huddle and going look down there guys. There's John Cainby And you've got the and he was sure and then that guy says a Harris Barton offensive line in our old center That tells that story said we're nervous.
You know, we're shaking Joe walks in and goes hey guys Look at his owners John Cainty Just ensure enough John Cainty sound a sideline with some reporter Very cool very cool game very cool demeanor that's kind of that that was all most my number one My number two We go to Atlanta Super Bowl 34 Rams Titans Titans are 16 points down that wasn't in Atlanta. They tie it with with a 43 yard field goal with just over two minutes to go And then six seconds later Kurt Warner to eyes at Bruce 78 yards for a touchdown right to show on turf Titans get the ball back We're driving down the field Mcnayer to Kevin Dyson to have yard line no time runs out. Yes.
I mean after the music city miracle Then we go to this you think oh my god, they're gonna do it again Not so much 18 inches And it's over that was a very I remember that cerebral being because a lot of people were rooting for Steve McNair Yep, a lot of people are so a lot of people wanted to see him do something do the same thing that that Doug Williams did Yep, and he had a lot of Steve McNair was a great quarterback 80 George you're running back there Brother yeah Tennessee man Jeff Fisher Jeff Fisher recently retired or class fired or everyone called it from the Titans He's no longer with yeah, and I'd love to see him get her in absolutely God he was imagine at half yard This boy that's it as probably as wide as one of my computer Number one for me number one Number one number one to me you change the league. This is when you reference quite a bit. Yeah Super Bowl three jets cults This Aaron T yeah Joan of course Joe name is To me that in it did this game revolutionary because the merger you finally had the AFL who LeBardy Packers and already punk the writers they money punk the chiefs the jet the cults come in at 15 in one the most dominant team in the whole league that year in the NFL and the jet's kind of come in They played some Oakland teams at beat Kansas City They came in with a brash young quarterback in Rysvallah, Baman named Joe nameeth and at the at the Miami touchdown club lunch and he stands up at a podium in Garan T's the Super Bowl.
Yes, he did to this day. He doesn't regret it He'd he says hey, so we were all we were reading the paper so it was how we were just gonna get blown out And I'd be dang if this occurs didn't go out there and beat the mighty Baltimore cults A loss that the cults eventually never recovered and we're kicked out of the NFC and put in the AFC That's how mad that the commissioner of the NFL was He kicked the cult out of the NFC and put him in the AFC That's how they end up where they're present day. That's crazy because they felt they the cult said you couldn't even beat the jets John and you nine is never recovered from that.
There's a lot of players on the Super Bowl three cults There's a missing rings NFL network does a show They do such great Document Baltimore cults missing rings Super Bowl three and it's the other side of the coin even if you are a passive fan of this fall There's there's no programming on NFL network that you just can't find resting so there there yeah There was like that changed the league because then then you had Kansas City beat Minnesota and Super Bowl formed the next year And you kind of had the NFL what it is today You didn't have two leagues the league version one became the AFC the NFC But this game kind of in a 176 yep Nothing flashy the shaking of the finger is it it's single on Tana runs out of stadium nameeth It kind of I'm off. It's single handedly got Joe nameeth in the Hall of Fame He was he was a pedestrian quarterback his whole career there was nothing really flashy about nameeth Man enough to wear pantyhose in this jet jet nameeth was like Sanchez Good looking kid decent quarterback, but nameeth won the big game in my opinion My number one is also on your list but for a different reason Super Bowl 23 for me 49ers Bengals Joe Robbie Stadium January 26, 1989. I remember the date very well For those of you that know me well enough you know what I'm about to talk about for those of you that are that are new listeners to the program or don't know I was actually a part of the halftime show in this Super Bowl when the Super Bowl still had halftime shows Terrible show It was a 50's magic show.
Oh wow called bebop bamboozled and if you remind me after the show I've got a pin. I saw how on my ban jacket from high school the pin from the show was on my ban jacket It the star of the show and as I'm sitting here a swear to you his name was Elvis Presto This show Actually was in 3d well if you had you could watch it without the 3d but there were specific effects and if you had 3d glasses on and My mom taped this for me and I watched it the next day and there were certain things that were 3d sponsored by Diet Coke who did a 3d commercial right before It was pretty bad, but I'm gonna tell you something. I don't regret it because I can say that I was part of a Super Bowl Half-time show.
Oh, yeah rehearsals took three months So we had our normal marching band rehearsals and then an extra one to two nights a week We had Super Bowl rehearsals where each school for the first month and a half Rehorsed on their own. Yes, you were showed where you were gonna be and then for about the last six weeks We were all in a at a high school in Miami rehearsing together. They were probably about three to four hundred of us I got a free re-box sweatsuit shirt, sweatsuit suit out of the free re-box shoes.
They were songs are One thing I remember is we were all rehearsing one night and Now broke it to the hand job. No, we did not break into the hand job. Oh, we saw some lights off in the distance and Surely after we saw these lights Gang members lying the entire stadium and we were all kind of freaked out Apparently if you know anything about Miami history there were some riots in over town in late 88 The gang members knew that we were rehearsing and they were protecting us from the riots to get on the bus and get out of here But we watched the last two minutes in the first half and the first two minutes in the second half We were in a bus the whole time.
We could not watch the game But it will always be very memorable for me because it was kind of a cool deal. It was if you are inspired And you're saying yourself, hey Rob I want to go to the game one I think you need some prices that I've got for you.
