B.R.I.D.G.E.T. 2.0 Prediction Probability Machine

Justin for wanting to go more than a couple of minutes? Yeah, yeah, certainly? Yeah, what did you decide it should be two minutes? Or so? Five? Five under five A type five is good, can't be ten? But then if you do three minutes, then it's like why are you even here? Right? It depends on how Yeah, what does best friendship mean? Like you come up and you've got two and a half minutes of content? Says a lot. It certainly does. What if the maid of honor goes up and absolutely no, I love, I love.

I've done this four or five times. But when the maid of honor just absolutely nose dives ahead of you, you can do no wrong and you've never seen the dead. I've never seen a maid of honor kill that actually happened to really not yet kill. I agree with you, yeah, kill the room, absolutely not. They're big, get a little come no one on my weddings. I've been a maid of Honor quite a few times. Yes, of course I did.

I think you'd be great. I've seen one do an incredible job because she went out of bounds with some of her commentary. Yeah, and that's that's what you can't You gotta be not safe and I think that's yes, that's so important. Do we have this conversation probably for the entire in this month. I don't know if you're new to the show, but we just rehab the exact same conversations like a few times a year, and then it's a new season and the maid of honors out there.

Don't let the best man show you up by being edgy and working a little blue. You can do it too, And by the way, don't come killing us on Twitter about anti Maid of Honor commentary. I've seen a quit less and I think it's possible. And I totally trusted Colleen. I am living proof. I would never disagree with I hope I lived to see it. Roll the dice. You ask it, we're starting the age out of like wedding seasons unfortunately. Yeah, well, yes, we have coming up that

I'm in not me right, Well, you're you're, you're you're cool. Alright, kid, um, here we go. I take it you are excited because the Eagles are one step away from another Super Bowl and you will be in Philadelphia this week. I'm going to Philly. I'm going back home. It's very exciting. I cannot wait. Connie. You are really traveling the NFL world.

I'm doing the circuit. Yeah, it's great, it's great. Just got back from Buffalo late last night, and that was so much fun as much, I guess because the obviously there were more Bills fans there than Bengals fans, but because totally was terrible. That's why it wasn't a bit of a buzz kill a little bit. What was it like after the game at the stadium. I heard a lot of Cincinnati fans there. There were a ton of Since fans there, so that was that was good, But

it was somber. It was a little But then, weren't you looking for a place to go out on the town in Buffalo after the game. I was trying to find a place in Buffalo to watch the Eagles game on Saturday night. Um, but instead I just watched it. They be in a better mood on Saturday night. Yes, um, alright, so yes, and then there were four four teams left. Championship Sunday coming up this weekend. We will have our preview of Championship Sunday on Thursday, so make sure you

check that out. And of course the flagship program Sunday night will recap and talk about who's playing in Super Bowl fifty seven in Glendale, Arizona. We will be there. That's when we get on a plane, Connie and we will be at the super Bowl. So we're kind of mirroring the finish line here, Greggy in a lot of ways. Well, we had six weeks of the preseason, you know, of working in the preseason. Since camp started, we had eight teen regular season weeks. We've now had two playoff weeks,

so that's twenty six weeks total. I'm gonna do this. I hate when this happens, because it's true. I'm gonna say it. We're now passed halfway through this season. Finally about you know, halfway point on the past weekend, it felt like we basically like wildcard round or the end of the regular season is the equivalent of hump day. So we're coming in for a landing, a long landing. UM all right, coming up today, UM tech. Tech is

the future. Tech will always be the future. And that's and and science is the path forward for human humans, and and it could be the end. Let's face it can go in a lot of different directions. And with that said, coming up is a wonderful piece of hardware, UM that and software. It's a it's cool right, yep. The software is run inside the hardware. Beautiful mix of the beautiful mix synergy UM. Bridget returns. It's hit a

on around the NFL. Long awaited. It's been a while spenty minute since we've seen Bridget, so Lamar Jackson like contract situation, we've settled it. See, I thought Bridget Condon was coming on the show today. I said, we're gonna do Bridget today, and Connie thought our colleague mis Condon was joining us until two minutes ago. So you have a whole line of questioning for Bridget. And yeah, she's

at the collegiate bole right now. So that was a good waste to throw out this note and to open like the kimono one step further, like there was um we you know we we were like, wait, we did Bridget before, Like on the show, we've had Bridget on the computer, Like what on what was the segment? We're like, we never even know what the segment is. It's like I went back to look for Bridget to understand how we interact whether which was largely not in my favorite

I realized. But like, we'll get to that. That's one of the reasons Bridget how to go into the shop because been on our show, you could not find Bridget the hardware software UM machine anywhere in the search. So it's a problems and Bridget is an acronym. We're going to get to all of it, but before we do that, let's hit the news so big, thank you. What was that? That is? Uh? Oh, you don't know? That is the

wonderful Who is it? Um? In eight for Brady coming out early next month UM one of the more head scratching films ever to be UH produced by a major studio and released. Who is this film for? That is my question? Brady is part of the production team I think it's for my mom, is it? Yeah? She it's all about it. I mean, I mean I haven't talked at length with her, but she's a fan of these actresses. Certainly she's a Patriots fan. I think it's made for

my mom. That is a fairly narrow audience, though, like your mom had other friends that I think fill that demographic film. My mom and her friends, so Boston or Massachusetts area. Mom's of a certain age. That's a very quite a demostratic, like I would like to know the budget of the film, and then when they did their extended research, are we going to cover you know, sally Field salary with the box office of Wilburham, Massachusetts, and we should have a watch party for it? Well, I

will not be watching for Brady. I have to tell you. Well, I'm gonna come over and we're all going to hang out. It's gonna be a nice team building event. It's also based around a super Bowl that occurred five or six years and I was wondering about that. It's like, why did it take so long to bring this to fruition.

It's it is based on apparently on a true story, and so it went through the machinations of the story getting out there at some point then, because I was like, why did this not about four or five, six, seven, eight? Nine years ago? Bowl? There? But but what's the point of is now nine years ago? Right? No? I think it was actually Patriots I and just that heads up Paramount Pictures. There is an issue with football movies and and and Hollywood making good ones come to us ask questions.

We can give you a roadmap. I mean that's fair. But when you can get to dynamic on screen personalities like Brady and Gronk in the same movie, can you play that again the way Gronk says? This is just it gets me so big. Thank you man. Alright, let's get to eight for Brady. I guess I'll give it a plug coming out February third. Everyway I spoke about it for like nine minutes. All right, let's start with the biggest story, the biggest health store, I should say. Uh.

In the NFL had a championship weekend. Uh, Patrick Mahomes, what is going on with that ankle? We suffered the high ankle sprain on Saturday against the Jaguars. Andy Reid said in his press conference on Monday that the sprain isn't that bad and it's not as bad as the one he suffered a few years back and played through. So again, Connie, they're all everything is pointing to, Yes, Mahomes is playing, But the big question of going against the mighty Bengals, who are playing at a very sky

high level. Will this version of Mahomes be good enough against a great opponent. Well, every time Joe Burrow and these Bengals have played the Chiefs, Patrick Mahomes has been and they've lost every single time. So that is a little concerning going into this game. And obviously he can Patrick Mahomes can be a pocket quarterback just as well as he can add live different plays. But that's his strength.

And Mahomes he's never been in a position where he's missed an entire week of practice and then played a game in the NFL. So all of this is new territory against a team that is absolutely locked in and loaded on both sides of the ball, and it seems like there's nothing that's going to stop them anytime soon. And we saw his mobility how limited it was after that hit. I mean he didn't throw any passes outside of the pocket, and that is an area that he led the NFL in last ye or the season, so

it's it's problematic. He led the NFL though, in in touchdowns inside the pocket too, so it's like he his numbers went up in that game, which is crazy, like his yards per attempt, Like his second half numbers were actually better per throw. Not that you don't lie though he wasn't. I kind of forgot that ankle spraining at in It was his left ankle, so that's a little different.

You know, you're it's not your plant ankle. But he did follow up that ankle sprain, which read is saying and he has some self interest in saying that it's not worse. He did follow that up with seven touchdowns and like eight hundred yards in his next two games.

Do you think that maybe, And you know, there is some talk out there that sometimes the the top broad cast booths in the league just get a little bit relentless in their praise of these big quarterbacks and it almost gets in the way of the telecast at times. Is this all just a long con mark for Mahomes to play out of his mind on Sunday and to be turned into its own movie In a few years. Yeah, I mean if I were to pick anyone where that would happen the whole dynamic with the announcing team that

you mentioned in all that business. Um, yes, I mean just because it's not because I think like Mahomes, Yeah, he played really well against Jacksonville after the injury, and they're very adaptable. I think I trust the Chiefs and Andy Reid and Mahomes to be more adaptable with like the pocket stuff. You can also you know, you can roll them out to a side where like the line is moving with him if you want to do some of that stuff. It does take elements of their of

their offensiveway. But who do you trust more to, like with their seven thousand play page book like playbook that they put together over the years to come up with the counter and to make it work. And so yes, I could see if it's gonna be a movie, I mean think we're getting movie Sunday. But like and it is. It does speak to the great unknowable nous of sports that you know, how many more pounds or ounces of pressure needed to be put on that leg before it broke,

like Tony Pollard's day, and they survived. He was able to get out of there without it bringing being a broken lower leg. And now he has a chance to win another Super Bowl. That's good because that would have been a supreme bummer if the Chiefs survived. But we got Henny. You don't need that Burrow. Are you saying that Mahomes has superior bones. I think his bones are rock solid because usually a high ankle spraining, you usually

are out. I mean, I don't think. I think there's a there's a non zero chance that we get some Chad Henny on Sunday, probably not for the first snap, but you just don't know. Yeah, that's that's for sure. Let's check in with the Patriots, Greggy, who have made their higher um at offensive coordinator. And it's a familiar name, Bill O'Brien, Old Billy Boy, his offensive He was the offensive coordinator in New England from two thousand nine to

two thousand eleven. Uh, and now he returns um from the college game to try to fix an offense that, let's face it, pretty much created with Matt Patricia leading the way. I love it, I don't. I'm surprised. I love anything involving Bill O'Brien. But when you're replacing Matt Patricia as offensive coordinator. And you think back to that oh nine to eleven teams, I think I would argue those are some of the most influential offenses of the

last twenty years. They kind of changed the game in terms of hurry up and their two tight ends and they and Bill O'Brien was the guy behind it. And yes, he's been an annoying figure like running the Texans and kind of taking power, and he clearly plays the media well. I think he has some fans at the highest levels

of the Patriots organization. Like all that could be annoying at times, but like his offenses were always quite good, like Deshaun Watson played his best football with Bill O'Brien and all the case Keenum and all the people that like he ended up coaching up Like I'm I think Tom Brady loved him. Uh, they were feeling themselves so much during that era, where like remember the week they went and just had Chip Kelly before Chip Kelly became

someone that we all knew about with Philly et cetera. Uh, just come into the Patriots building and kind of teach him his you know, high speed offense, and then he went and ran it. Against the Peyton Manning Broncos and like did something no other NFL team had done. No, I don't think that was I don't think that was the Bill O'Brien year at o C because that was only one yearn and they came in second or third and points scored. They were a high powered offense. He's

not O'Brien the GM. I don't need that business and you're not gonna get that. I mean, to me, it's great for Mac Jones, who also helped teach Bill O'Brien what Alabama was doing when he went to Alabama's the relationships already there. I think that's how glowing we are. Right. Well, here's the key. He's Patricia. So if they had hired Mike La I would have been as excited or more, just like anyone that anybody used to have an offensive coordinator back in New England like that. That seems like

the right move. Yeah. They completely set up Mac Jones to fail last year with what they had in place in addition to the offensive line and then no real pass catchers. So now that he's with Bill O'Brien, we have to see that growth this year. I mean, it's a very it's an extremely safe move. It's going back

to what you're comfortable with, what you knew. And there is a big difference between the offense that O'Brien was running with New England then and now, and it's Tom Brady who was in the middle of a peak two point oh at that time. So now he has to do with a lesser quarterback in mac Jones. And you know,

I think it's a good hire. But you know what with mac Jones even last year, like we'll see, when Zappy was in there, they did a ton of play action and then if you look at the numbers when Jones was in there, like they went away from it almost didn't even do what Jones did well. And they're talking about incorporating Alabama's offense along with what just making it something that Matt Jones have said he could be more thrilled about it. So it's like you change the

energy around your quarterback. That is the big first step of the guy that was like shoveling the stairs at Gillette Stadium as O see, and probably this is probably worth a shot as an upgrade that if they just had their the rookie year Mac Jones offense and last year's Patriots defense. I don't think that team would have won a playoff game, but they would have been like the six seed, and they would have been a much better team than General. Does Patricia and Judge stay on staff?

Probably right? Just does everyone just have a forever safe home? If you're under Bill probably probably don't know. He's definitely like like my son, Like he doesn't meet anyone new. He's just like he has his old friends and he's not he's not making any new friends. At this point, speaking of Tom Brady, Uh, did you just compare yourself to Bill Belitick. All I mean is like I have the friends I have, I've struggled to make any new ones.

I wonder why that would be. You know, it's just like all of my friends from childhood in college, he and all my friends are jerk. Tom Brady has a podcast. I think we've all been We've talked about that. It's on the show. Sometimes you're a little bit surprised. It's like, Oh, Tom Brady's podcast, shouldn't that be the biggest podcast in the world. It's one of my favorite things about podcasts that our podcast is a much bigger podcast than all

these big names out there. Tom Brady, I'm sure if you asked him about us, he'd say, oh, they're the goat, no doubt, no doubt. Anyway, on the latest edition of The Lad's Go Podcast with Tom Brady, Jim Gray and Larry Fitzgerald, fitz Is on that show though, Jim Gray, did you send that? Does Jim Gray have a a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame? I did send that.

I was walking down the Walk of Fame the other like a week or so ago, and stopped in my tracks to realize that, like a little because you could you either have like the camera or the television because you're a television dude, um or you get the little radio mike and he's got a not surprisingly a radio mike. But it was like it's it just did surprise me that he's there. I think that um Is typically had the TV with the antenna's no, I think it was radio.

But it's like he's more of a broadcasting type icon I guess. But like in general, does that just come through an agent? I don't really love set like Hollywood, Sessler. That is just dialing into like old school Hollywood. You're doing the walk like it's on my Yeah, I love Yeah, it's on my walks. People do like to demean that that they use it sort of as a pr thing. You have to pay about forty dollars for the star

yourself for now. It could be yourself paying for or it could be like your agency or someone else paying for you. But a lot of times it's just stars, you know, paying for their their own publicity. But you still normally have to be a star. And I'm not done in justice. The payoff didn't go as you thought because it's actually a television set. It wasn't. Yeah, I mean, who's getting the radio anymore? But the grace that's It's stunning to me, But good for him. I'm sure that

was a nice moment for his family and fans. Um let's listen to Tom Brady when asked by Gray, are you playing Tommy Jim? If I knew what I was gonna do, I have already done it. Taking a day at a time, let's go. I mean, that's an it's an edgy podcasts assume maybe started He was like, I need to start making some inroads on this thing. Yeah, let's just ramp up a little let's work a little blue like the Bridesmaids to be afraid make people uncomfortable,

Maids of Honors, we're matrons. Absolutely sleep on the matron of honor dropping bombs in a big spot. If that that would be a great best friend to have, if that were your best friends, it might work. Because I feel like I need more context to that. I was like, didn't build up to that. Usually it seems like he has a very prescripted joke. The hard question of the week. That was what I can tell you briefly what Grace said after He's like, well, you know, I'm just asking

the question everyone wanted me to ask. Sorry, you know, so, I don't think so respect not yet, I don't think. I think that that was him like actually being real and being like annoyed one thousand percent by the answer the question why did I sign up for this? No halftime of Monday? Like radio hit that they turned into a podcast. It's not even a podcast really, It's just a couple of radio interviews twice together. Do you have a star on the Walk of Fame? I meat it.

Let's put a go fund me together. Maybe we can get the around the NFL podcast start on that one. Yeah, but you want to just want to be I want to have some say on where they stick it on that street, because you know, there are some some places that aren't so wonderful. You don't want to just be slapped down into a part of town that's not great. Alright, discount though, well that might be would be cheaper. We

need to wait. Yeah, we're not quite there yet, but I think that'd be part of the fun if we weren't there at all. You know, but you know how they build stadiums in a depressed part of town, like, oh, we're gonna build up the whole area, maybe that could right now. Maybe like they put the Star in a depressed area of Hollywood and that just creates a whole level of commerce for people racing to see. That's very

very forward thinking and other news. Uh, and I think Tom Brady is gonna come up a little bit later about that. Mark for a little tease please. That's why you're the host. Joe Shane. He is the general manager of the New York Giants. UM Big decisions after the lost to the Eagles over the weekend, starts with their two most important players on offense, Daniel Jones, s Kwon Barkley. It does sound like the quarterback is coming back. Here's what Shane had to say. We we'd like Daniel be

here again. He said it yesterday. There's there's a business side to it, but um, we feel like Daniel played well this season. He's done everything we asked him to do, and you know, getting there there's a business side to it. We we haven't went down that road yet. Um. You know, we still got to have our meetings with our staff late in the week and we'll devise an off season plan. But we we haven't had those meetings yet. But we

would like to have Daniel Jones back. Hopefully we can get something done with his his representatives and that would be the goal to build a team around him where he could, you know, lead us to win the Super Bowl. Confident answer. Hey, if if you don't think your quarterback that you have can quote unquote lead your team to super Bowl, he's not your quarterback. So it's not surprising that he would say that. Uh. He also said, Shane that they are not close as of right now in

terms of se Quon Barkley and the contract numbers. But also we've heard that s Quan doesn't necessarily need to reset the market at running back, and well, I could be posturing Greg where is sae Quon Barkley and the free agency one oh one? He was in the top twenty. You know, he gets dinged a little bit for being a running back, him and Josh Jacobs. I think he

was around top fifteen. But I think it was interesting they sounded much more optimistic about and in certain about Daniel Jones, which makes you think if they have a franchise tag available for one or the other, they would

probably do it with Jones. And finally, in the news, unfortunately uh from the blodder file, the San Francisco forty Niners, their defensive end Charles Omnahue, was arrested on a charge of misdemeanor domestic violence following a alleged incident with his girlfriend on Monday that according to the San Jose, California Police Department, um A Many, who posted bail and is no longer in custody, also was served with an emergency

protective restraining order. Um The Niners and A statements that they were aware of the matter and they are in the process of gathering further information. Uh Many, who was twenty five former fifth round pick pick greg and obviously made a big play uh in the first round of the playoffs and is a part of their rotation. So obviously the incident is no good. The timing was no good. Yeah, he's played fifty snaps over the last two weeks. Be curious how they they handle it. All right, I can't

imagine he's going to be playing in this game. All right, let's take a break and then we will look into the future tech. It's very important. Now, all right, we are back and um it is time. Well during the break, I was just looking into how one would obtain a Hollywood Walk of Fame, and I wanted you guys to

have what you deserve. According to Wikipedia, anyone including fans, can nominate anyone active in the field of entertainment as long as the nominee or their management approves the nomination, so we would obviously approve it. Nominees must have a minimum of five years experience in the category and a history of quote charitable contributions. Oh, we got that too, although we do still Jacksonville. Please but please add us. Our show is for free, and we've been giving people

for all because I don't know. Maybe we'll do that the Jacksonville or are Brilliance for free some ad breaks, the food bank, the orphanage, whatever we need to do for Jacksonville. We were going to do that anyway, but it actually kind of links up well with this situation. We would get a radio icon, I think, And do we get if we make the charitable donation? Do we get some type of receipt to the Hollywood? Seems fair?

I mean, as any podcast put on the Hall of Favor, it's like it's a race between us and Old Rogan. Old Rogan that's what they call him. What were any other qualifications necessary? We got all it says on Wikipedia. So I will nominate you guys. I think there is. I mean I heard what does nominate mean? Does that mean? Because then it's probably they're just like they'll get back to yees CTC fifty g bro. No. Do think it costs like fifteen dollars to get a star or something

like that? So where does that money? I looked this up recently. I don't know why. I thought it was like forty or something. Maybe a lot of times agents will pay this for their talent to get work. There is have we been doing it five years give me some dings. Have we been doing this five years? Have we made charitable donations? Would management clear this? Man? Justin counts? And finally, do we have agents? We have good agents. Do you think the NFL would want to pay for

this to get the podcast out there more? It's that agents and having agents that are willing to pay for that will be an interesting conversation, but it's worth having. You could argue that if you want to look at what we made the NFL over the course of a decade plus, that this little fee would be dust in the wind. Follow the money. I need to know where it's going for all these stars, who who gets what?

What bank account does that that's a good point, Like the Commission of espcially a city a city a city slush funders. It's essentially been a racket for like some some people who started this and their family members. You're actually asking the question that no one ever did. They planted three trees in Los Angeles in the past fifty five years, and the rest has gone directly into some evil,

some evil person's malibu. According to the Internet fund, the fee goes to the installation of the star and general upkeep maintenance for the Hollywood Walk of Fame, which if anyone has ever walked down, you know it's in pristine condition on that. Yeah, they gotta work on that. Well, they got a lot of things to work on in Hollywood. Connie work in blue. Um, all right, let's get to she's on the case. Let's let me fire it up. I got a I got, I got our old friend.

She's coming back around. And I'll tell you what if she if she did a maid of honor speech, who doggy? That would be weird to find her a best friend. First, let's fire up Bridget. Greetings, I am a bionic reactive intelligence data gathering annunciation transponder also known as Bridget version two point Oh. Hello Bridget, how are you? Does she answer? How about that traffic on the local freeway this morning? Well okay, so there's a lot to break down here.

And that was very good. I've been she's been offline for a while, and one of the things I wanted to do was make Bridget more personable. Um, I wanted her to have more of a person reality. I certainly the number one issue with Bridget obviously was how angry it made you Mark with some of her criticisms, I would say of certain football takes that you had, as I recall, um, and so I did. I did pop the hood and I tried to address that as well with her guard The first time I encountered her, it

caught me off. But what happened? I mean she roundly insulted literally everything that I produced on that show and other shows, while turning around and complimenting her creator to no end. And I was trying to address that too, little glitch. I did a patch on that, and um, I'm also I'm starting to build up some I'm trying to build into it the ability to have some takes. And again, I'm the creator, so I'm trying to separate, like my opinions on things from bridget that's a work

in progress. Do we have let's put punch it in Don Mattingly belong in the Hall of Fame. That one's a little close to me. What else we have? People from California put too much on their pizza. Okay, that's a little that's a little zeuser too. What all right, let's let's try to get a little bit further away from the creator. YouTube put an album on your iPhone? So what there are real problems in the world. Okay, alright, so I'm working on that too. That's a little that's

a little mid project. I'm wondering if Bridgets at all feeling the heat, because you know, she she was a fore runner really of AI technology. She was on this show seven years ago. But now you've got you know, chat GPT kind of taking over the COGNIZENTI here, I feel like Bridgets feeling the heat. Is she aware that she's been shut down? Like did you tell? Or does she just think it's the next app day? Passing her mind? Whatever it is. No, she's not sentient. Yeah, she's working

on some things, but she's not sentient rehab rehab. I mean, that's an interesting She hit that topic last time around, and I think she's there that goes beyond dance knowledge. I think to her own knowledge. I don't know if chat GPT would be so rude. Yeah, I don't know. These are I guess competitors on some level, and maybe that's more of your speed. But again, we're trying our best to make sure that Bridget two point oh is

fair to all. Uh, why don't we now what she's here for, of course, and what she was initially created for was to process um and let us know through her own tabulations. Um, through billions of data points that have been built into the system that we can only begin to like fathom, how much is being processed in her central processing unit. Um. Uh to let us know what football takes. We have our predictions or kind of look aheads in in our league, how realistic they are,

how correct they are. Um, she's not a fortune teller. That's very important. I think some people get a little confused on that. But she does take logic and it logic is everything to her. And then she spits out a reply to your prediction that is correct. Master. Well, I want to see the master start this thing. UM, I would love that too. Okay, I've got it going. Um. Let me talk about Tony Romo, UM and I my prediction. I don't know if you guys noticed, but um, the

Romo backlash is building mm hmm it is. It was obviously all over Twitter people were not happy with his performance uh in the Bills Bengals game. And it did strike me a little bit that the romo that he in two thousand seventeen that captured everyone's imagination. Um, what was he kind of famous for back then plays. Yeah, predictive ability, seeing things that no one else apparently could see on the planet. Right, does he do any of that anymore? Is that even part of the Romo aesthetic?

In two thousand twenty three, because that was one thing that jumped out to me, I was like, is the

criticism too strong on this guy? And then I'm thinking, well, is he The thing that made everybody love him was that he felt like he was inside the game still he had recently retired and was seeing the game in a way that we couldn't see his common fans, and then was kind of giving us that perspective, like that happening and it's harder, Like they sort of said that probably will diminish because you aren't as you aren't coming from last year's playbook and everything else you dealt with.

It's your five or six years from right now. Even the guys you work with, Like when you guys are in the film room watching the Sunday shows or watching the Sunday games, like everyone is still keyed in on stuff and like m J D. MicroB like they're still yelling out plays before they happen. What's going to happen right, like so I or something. I feel like, well, he started getting something wrong and he felt like maybe that was like a parlor trick because that wasn't the reason

I loved him or West. I remember we talked about het. Romo is just like a breath of fresh air in terms of a his enthusiasm and I still like the enthusiasm, but b yeah, being able to like really explain the game in a in an understandable way and like loved it. And I don't know if he's still got that fire in him. That might be the thing people are picking

up on. The enthusiasm that he has is um. I wouldn't say it's forced now, but it just there just seems a little less nuanced with him, and there's the idea is he coasting a little bit? So anyway, my prediction that I want to um posit to bridget version two point oh Um. I predict that Romo is going to have a sit down with some bosses at CBS after this season, and it's gonna be a little bit of a come to Jesus conversation, UM, where they're gonna say, we need you to get the eye of the tiger back.

You're a number one guy, and we can't have this criticism of you just becoming the dominant narrative around our number one team. And my prediction is that when we see Romo again, uh come next September, that be a conversation point that Romo seems more into it again and Romos plugged in, because I think the criticism is getting to the point where I think CBS internally is going to want to address that. What do you think about that? Bridget? To go either way here, Dan is hot and masculine,

perfect logic. Okay, so I got it right. Yeah, you really want to work on this CPU. Um. So that's mine and thank you for that. I think he needs it. I think he needs the show. He's doing the work, respect the game. That's Bridget or Tony, I mean Bridget. I'm not wanting to question her. So what she said is absolutely Bridget. What do you think about some of the work that I've done on your main frame? Your voice is beautiful? Oh, thank you, thank you, Bridget. All right,

so she's still complimentary of me? All right? How about you, Greg? Why don't you throw one out to us? Okay, so are our buddy Aaron Rodgers back on Pat McAfee on Tuesday, Yes, still doing it. Didn't really want to lean one way or another, said he might have already said goodbye to the Packers. He doesn't know. He really wants to be playing for championships. He needs more time to think about everything.

And when he said he heard the trade rumors that are going around, and he said, well, that's putting the cart before the horse because I haven't decided what I'm going to do yet, and like, you can't be talking trade unless I okay it. But that's a possibility. But you know, Schefter has talked about it, our guy rap sheets talking. But I'm gonna predict that ultimately the Packers cannot quit Aaron Rodgers. They just can't do it. They

just they want him. They it's a troubled relationship, but they just feel like they can't get out of it. And that Aaron Rodgers, after he goes through this, can't quit the Packers either, but that Jordan's love will get traded, that it's time for him to go. And I'm going to put Jordan's love on the Commandos because that just feels like a Commandos type of move. So Bridget I'm curious what you think of my my reasoning there. This would be an important test because I think it's that's harsh.

Maybe she sees something in the way that Rogers is speaking that that I don't. He referred to being a packer in the past tense there during that interview as well, right there was that that's not a great sign. I guess. He also essentially blamed the discourse on what's happening here on big Pharma, like, I'm not even joking that, like the networks that are that are we've lost him. He's throw Rogan. It was his nickname, and I thought that

was a good one. And uh yeah, I mean I saw a lot of comments tors like, hey, he's out there speaking the truth. You have people that you follow the same on Twitter, and some of the comments to the McAfee video was a lot like, oh he roasted

ESPN there they are owned by big Farmer. I'm like, what I think from a football angle, like if the Packers were ready to move on and you got someone to trade for him, you get the picks, which would be at least a first plus more, you'd open up sixty million in cap room and you can rebuild your team with a Jordan's love who looked all right when he played last year. I mean, like the Aaron Rodgers

thing just feels like you're crescendoing towards the end. Anyways, But I'm kind of with Greg, although Bridges doesn't agree. I just think he's gonna stick around despite the way he looked when he was walking off lambeau Field. Don't forget that image and what Tariko was saying that. It just felt like something about that whole thing sticks with me.

It was a little weird, and I wonder if seeing quarterbacks like brock Party, I mean, it doesn't happen all the time, but seeing quarterbacks come in who were drafted late or really didn't have a lot of expectations around them, I wonder if that changes their minds at all, and maybe they do want a fresher start. Yeah, I can't. I can't shake the feeling that Woody Johnson is going to make a play here. He did it with Brett

Farve and the Packers years ago. We've been waiting for him to make that big splash since he's back owning the Jets, and that Adam Schefter reported on it, Peter King wrote about it that you know, over the cap, they can make it work in terms of their salary cap, and I think anyone couldn't they really needed to. And then it becomes a matter of what Rodgers want to

go there. Maybe he would, maybe wouldn't, But everyone's kind of just pointing to Derek carrs being that's the guy that's gonna be the Jets quarterback, and there's a lot of reasons why you maybe that's doesn't make a lot of sense and they are going to make a big splash.

There could be that those could be dancing partners. I would be a little I don't know, I would be a little conflicted perfect he might get killed as a Jets fan with with Aaron Rodgers in the general perception of the Jets, like is this where you want to go for the final swan song of your career and just hope that things finally work. You could use them the way Brett Farve did too. I mean, there's a

lot of different ways you can go from that point on. Yeah, he talked about like it's great the idea of being in Green Bay forever, but I really just want to win championships and I'm thinking like, well, why wouldn't Green baby that team. I think it's more just like it's a long time to live in Green Bay. It's a vacation destination, he said. I don't mean that it's like a terrible place, but where he is at in his life,

he's lived there for a long time. Well, if names how many legends the same, you know how many legendary quarterbacks played their entire career in one place? How many? Like if Tom Brady can leave, anybody can leave. It's kind of pet people look at what Tom Brady didn't think. I want to go have a fresh start and win a Super Bowl somewhere else. And by the way, it's like, guess what, You're not gonna do it in Green Bay

because it never happens. We've learned. He I don't well, I don't know what part of my perhaps just Jordan's love doesn't go to the commanders. And then Bridget proved says I'm wrong. I don't know for sure that Aaron Rodgers is staying or going. But I wanted to throw this out to Bridget right now, just because this is an important week or two coming up. This is when the Matthew Stafford trade happened. This is when the Alex

Smith trade up something that's big. I think actually will maybe move forward even before we're done with the Super Bowl. Smart of it. It's good. It's good smart, not smart, but right I thought it sounded smart. There's a little more coming from that little vixen. It does. Do you? Did she have anything else for Greg Weird? Which vice is consuming you this week? Wow? I mean I am the bad boy of NFL media. Are Okay, let's pause right here, pause Bridge as well. We're gonna take a break.

We'll be right back. All right, We're back, Colleen, Now about you? Okay, I have I have one for Bridget. I would like her input on this. I think se Kwon Barkley stays in New York, but not as a giant. He signed by the one and only true New York team Barley. Yeah, I did that really trying to give them a w right now? And I'm like that. Okay, okay, okay, so um, Bridget, you're there. It makes sense, Colleen. I was rooting for the dog, that is what tank. First of all, I still have a bandage on my arm

and I had a setback. I'm allergic to a couple of things. I was using tank. What was that? Where is tank? Tank? The bulldog that attacked my arm on Christmas Day in front of the entire family before dinner. I'm not sure where tank is right now because I don't want to know where Tank is. I wanted nothing to do with Tank after the incident. Where a tank is not exactly. I don't know. Bridget is a heartless machine. And I thought, like the idea of the quan idea

I hadn't thought of that. It's brilliant. I feel like the bills are going to do that thing this year. I don't know. I'm that triggered. You gotta work on her, just like certain words. I feel like that's gonna it's part of her trank. Oh my god, the machine learning, it's not improved. Just by the way, we just got like a snapshot into Colleen sleeping at night, like the dreams that she had had so many nightmares attacking me again. If Bridget bridge taking human resources immediately, but you take

Bridget to human she could just run wild. Ye oh my god, I think he is. But I don't know, And I can't deal with this. Can I just bring it back? The football a second, because these are all very good. Why won't you tell me Bridge is learning at a rapid page is almost rapid base. It's a

great idea. By the way, Barkley to the Bills, I don't know if they can afford it, um, because he's gonna cost the substantial amount for the running back they did just draft, of course a running back and um, James Cook, Um, Devin Singletary doesn't seem to be the guy.

They're right. I think Devin Singletary is a free agent too, and I just I think that's I think it's good because one of the things that really stands out to me about Buffalo is that sometimes it did feel like it was like Josh go do everything, literally do everything, and maybe he needs just a little bit more help. Maybe another whether it's a receiver or running back who has the type of dual threat capability of sake one, that's a good one. I don't care what what Bridget says.

Bridget going to make a joke about like a dog and Barkley now Bridget a tea for Bridget. Yeah, that's a good question. You've challenged. Hers are not logical. I thought they were like the Cowboys, the Cowboys got a lot of grief for not having enough kitty likes to scratch enough weapons for for Dak the Bills. You can say it kind of similar death Diggs and gave. Davis never really like Cole Beasley is being targeted in big time games in January. It's like and they never committed

to the run. You don't have to be like a run heavy team, but you have to be you have to do it more than just like first show here and there. And that was true under Dable too. Wasn't just Ken Dorsey. All of these teams that are left have some semblance of a running game. I mean even even Kansas City with Isaiah pacheco Um just checking in with the Bridget A Bridget is it? My My feeling is that any team of the four remaining is a very worthy super Bowl contender. And there is no such

thing as an upset here. They're all to me, it's it's each What do you think, Dan? You put the A, I and I poppy, the AI and I poppy. You mean I want to hear that one again? I mean, you know what your sessions with Bridget seem interesting? Yes?

All right, Mark, all right, this is kind of what we've been building too, because like many patches and I met, I work with some of the great people, some of the great software giants of the industry, at my great person little expense, uh, to make it more fair for you mark this, this segment and this in this robot. I mean we're seeing evidence of that in the lead up,

but you could understand that all my focus was on you. UM. And and I apologize to Greg and to Colleen, especially Colleen, I mean Jesus, but I feel pretty confident that this will go better. All right, go ahead, and at the floor is yours? I want to talk about um Tom Brady for a minute, because here we here we go again. I feel like it's January turns into February, right Like I'm all our own projects, us humans, like our hopes, our dreams, are fears, are two dues, our personal evaluations

and journeys. They're just happily put on hold so we can focus on where Tom Brady wants to play football next. After watching him direct the least uh watchable offense in all of two so I can't wait to see where he goes next. There is a report um page six The New York Post Brady was spotted down in Miami hovering around his house, well hovering around you down private schools to take to see where his kids might go to school. And so I think, all right, Greg, I'm

just saying that could be nothing. But the thing is everyone just has him going to the Raiders. I'm trying to turn Bridget against Mark here. Greg, we see what you're dealing here. This is very important. Why does it need to be the Raiders, who to me are really no better than the Bucks. Um, And just because Josh McDaniels is such a likable individual, you're gonna have Tom Brady pair with him in some last failed season and like a monster's ANFC West the Titans. Give me a

break with that business. Um. The whole idea of staying home with his kids and retiring, that is absolutely not happening. We've already seen that test driven for about twelve days last offseason and it was a crash and burn act. The Dolphins, they make total sense to me. I'm just saying, this is what I think is going to happen. Absolutely

that the Dolphins link is already there. Tell me another owner that had Tom Bray a d come hang out on the yacht, hoping that the coach of that time would come and convinced Tom Brady to be part of the Dolphins operation. Now you have a coach that you can control to some degree. You did lose your first round draft pick for that specific action, Yeah, but so even more reason just to go do it now. You just go do it now. He's a free agent. You

don't to worry about the past. No, No one here has a long enough attention span to care about what happened in the past. With all that business, he would go. If you're Tom Brady, you need to go somewhere where there are weapons on offense. Bingo. You've got a coach you can work with who runs a system that works for you. Bingo. Like we're watching the Shanahan offense turned brock Party with wide open receivers into a star and like two I had the benefit of that benefit of

that last year with Tyree, Kale, Jail and Waddle. It is a great situation for Tom Brady. I don't like the idea of the Raiders. I think it's gonna happen. Um. I think he's annoyed that Aaron Rodgers is hanging out

there in the atmosphere with the same absurd drama. So we're gonna get a Tom Brady announcement that's gonna come about minutes into the third quarter, uh, and create an absolute fervor that he's going to join the Dolphins, and you're gonna get probably days and days of Jim Gray with little Larry Fitzgerald talking to Tom Brady and meant no, but I mean on this podcast, I don't know what's going on with this show that they're gonna un unfurl

it that way too. Probably in them right in the middle of the super we'll get Jim Gray with this Walk of Fame star, Larry Fitzgerald, Tom Brady, the Dolphins. That's my prediction. It will interrupt the super. Here's the thing. Here's the thing before you throw it to Bridget, because it has to be a command for her to function. Um, I totally agree with you. In fact, this was something I had in my own mind and then I was like, oh, wait,

Mark was doing Tom Brady right. So if that's what I was thinking and I was gonna say it, then it should for you. You'd think yes, For she went in to sleep mode, say hello to her first Bridget, Hello, to you, Hey, Marv, I don't know. It's not very respectful from a computer. All right, Mark wants to know Tom Brady to the Dolphins. Does that make sense, Bridget? Top ten insider more like negative ten outsider. This is

a failure of me, not you. I don't want to direct any annoyance to you because I based on your reporting, you worked very hard on this. I'm not sure it's your skill set. If this is another long form, she's evolving rapidly. Um, I kind of like what you just said there though, I mean, so she got it. You could take the way, take it in a direction I'm cool with. But I'll take that into account. I'll take that into account. The off season is ahead, Bridget, thank you.

Your logic has more holes than your cool dad jeans A negative tent outsider. That's that's to put that on a T shirt. Else for Mark Oswald acted alone, that's like the equivalent for Mark the burn of like the gift of all the people running through like grabbing their face running through the frame. I have another round? Are we doing another round of this? Or no? That was it? Wow? I wanted a cute cut up so much there? If no? If sure, if you have one that you feel strongly

about it, I don't. We can make it work. No, no, Dan, you are a god. This is this is going south into such a hurry. Save it for private talk, made fantasy computer for yourself. It has bugs still, there's no there's no doubt about it, bridget um, before we we shut you down. Thank you. The government is an inherently oppressive force that keeps down the working men and props up Wall Street fat cats who do not operate for

the benefit of greater society. Okay, this is this is a problem because I did not put that coding in. She's starting to think on her own. Well, it's not a bad word. What a okay, where is the where's the plug? Liking her more and more blood shut is part of the cost for freedom, all right, we gotta gotta shut this down, Yes, bridget self, disconnect from mainframe now commencing. Oh god, no, no, no no, no, no no.

I got the flug out just in time. That feels like something that is going to backfire if I try, if I even a temph three point oh is backfiring currently, Yeah, yeah, it is happening. You brought her back online and she immediately became a killer robot, and yet some of those burns were so worth it. I think we should come back to it in its future day, but only if it's safe. Bridget the Bionic Reactive Intelligence DAYA Gathering Annunciation Transponder VIRGET two point oh. I have to say it's

a failure. It's like the Space program. It didn't. It wasn't. You weren't on the moon immediately. There were some ups and downs on the on the route, on route to get into the Moon, no doubt about it. You gotta keep your eye on the focus there. On that and Colleen, I want to apologize again that some stuff was Clearly things are going on there, but some of this with the dog that was out of bounds and really inappropriate. As someone who just got a puppy. You should not

be putting that out there in the world. That's well, I didn't the machine did that? You made? Yeah? I think you had some accountability might be in order. Yes, you're right, just a dash of it. Huh, you're right, But thanks, that's great. Should I plug her back into just see if if she's feeling remorseful at this point, I'm going to destroy her. I mean if you do, it's like Elon must say, And it's not my fault. The car didn't stop at the stop sign. At that's true.

There's a little a little too musky for my case. Um, all right, so that's it, um for the Tuesday show. Um, we'll be back on Thursday. Yes, Championship Sunday preview. Connie, thank you very much. Yes, you're welcome. You're the best, checking a good time, the Power Ranks podcast and all the other great content. Keep the Call. Philadelphia is so mid right, I'm done with you.
