Oh yeah, honest, I am so excited to pick Tory's brain on all the action, but I'm very excited to pick your brain on the Heralded Kickers, the position group you hate the most, and they saved the day. Cincinnati's kicker, Heaven McPherson, has become one of the coolest guys in the state of Ohio. Now, I'm not teeing you up for a joke. There there are some cool guys in the state of Ohio. When he called a shot and got his team to the a f C Championship,

how do you feel about those two endings last Saturday? Well, whatever's left of my brain, you can pick it, because my mind is blown. You are correct, o h D. What a night and day of football. I'm in l A right now, so I'm watching it at a different time. It was a wild night. Weird. Yeah, the kickers are cool. Who knew? Who knew that chicks dig the long ball and they really are the rock stars of their teams. And my mind is just blown that Kansas City Chief game.

You know, I was looking for you out there on the field, so I didn't pay attention to the first half because I was like, where's oh D? Where's oh D? I couldn't see you. I was trying to find the blonde hair. And um, second half, I started paying attention to the game because I was like, I can't find her because you can't see radio. You just can't see radio. They've got to change that. Yeah, unbelievable, unbelievable. And you know, just I can't believe that Aaron Rodgers is not still playing.

I mean special teams. They did have their helmets on because they did look like special teams and they do require they may need to put helmets on. Those helmets come odd. Oh yeah, Also, what the heck did you get into last night? Your voice sounds a little horse, my friend, how's l a treating you. I'm at my friend Whitney Cummings this house. We broke up a dog

that is the most humbl Are you serious? Yeah? I could have just said her first name, but I was like, man, why don't I just go Whitney Cummings because such a fan. I've seen her live. Yeah, she's great. She's great, and she's got a lot of animals here. And last night two of her dogs got into a little bit of a tiff, a little bit of a little bit of they went at each other, so we had to break them up. It was it was pretty It was a pretty wild night. It was a wild night in Los Angeles.

So that's why you lost your voice. Okay, I thought maybe you were yelling for the bills or something, But do you hate the bills as a Giants fan? Is that how that works? No? No, I was. I was just rooting for the bills because I know Buffalo. Buffalo needs it more than Kansas City. Kansas City has you. They have the Queen walking around Kansas City. You know, they got Jackson Mahones doing TikTok's on the streets. You and Jackson Homes have put Kansas City on the map.

Buffalo is just folded tables, ladders and back injuries and lots and lots of liver damage from drink. Yeah, so they needed this. They're in the cold up there. They're forgotten city. I was rooting for him. I was rooting for Josh Allen. And that's why you'll see my unleashed that I'm about to unleash on O h D. I've had enough of these overtime rules. I really have. Dude me too. I I was sick that Josh Allen didn't get a chance. And I in college, you know that

you do. Every team can get the ball. But it's if I that one kind of made me sick to watch, because it sucks when the greatest game of the weekend divisional round and it comes down to a coin toss, Like what are we doing? Okay, well, let's break it down. If you didn't watch or need a refresher, let's start with the first game. Saturday, the Bengals went into Tennessee and Joe Cool Joe Burrow, despite getting sacked nine times, he led the Bengals to their first ever road playoff win.

First ever, Like, can we wrap our brains around that? That's wild? They took down the top seed Titans Burrows, only the second quarterback ever to be sacked nine times and win a playoff game. By the way, nine times, that's I mean incredibly. He spent most of the game on his back. He said, they're here to make some noise. So listen up, people, the Bengals are here. Okay. Then that night and this one, I just I have like

PTSD talking about this one. I'm a Packer fan. The Packer season ended by Jimmy g and the forty Niners in a terrible, embarrassing game at Lambeau at blocked field goal, blocked punt and what could be Aaron Rodgers final game in a Packers uniform. That's what I'm gonna on leashan Jana, So just hold up, just give me a second, let me.

I'm just getting warmed up here. And by the way, those two teams who just lost, Titans and Packers, they're the two teams that had wild card buys, So I don't know if you want to look into that or not. And the Packers rested their starters the week before in Week eighteen, so maybe there's something too about playing that wild card weekend. Then we get to Sunday afternoon. Tom Brady almost leads the Bucks to an improbable come back until Matthew Stafford marched the Rams on a game winning drive.

I mean that was incredible. They gave themselves the best opportunity to cam akers fumbles. I mean, it lined up pretty good for one of the best comebacks in a playoff. So that was incredible. I was watching that on the JumboTron at Arrowhead because our game started right after that one ended, and the whole crowd was just booing Tom Brady. I he's not a well liked man in Kansas City, I guess. And then the nightcap maybe the best game of the whole season, an instant classic. I mean, it

was incredible. We found out just how much time is too much time left on the clock for Patrick Mahomes, and that's thirteen seconds. That's less time than a Jackson Mahomes TikTok video. This broke NFL history for a couple of reasons. The Bills receiver Gabriel Davis. He set a new playoff record with four touchdown receptions. That's insane. He just and he gave him such a chance on the last couple of drives. The Chiefs win makes them the host of the a f C Championship for the fourth

straight year. Jannice, that's never been done, never been done hosting four straight. And I kept asking myself, surely it has and thinking back of great teams, great dynasties, and I was like, hey, the Bills when they went to all those Super Bowls, they didn't host the NFC Championship. Over and over, they didn't. They didn't. They had to win on the road. So I mean, it's incredible. It was an honor to be working that game on the

sideline and watch these two amazing quarterbacks battle it out. Honestly, it should have been the a f C Championship game. This game should have been next week. Neither team should be out of the playoffs at this point. But here we are. We got one of the best games of the week. Just to make a note, that last drive by Patrick Mahomes, what was it was it thirteen seconds

on the clock to get into field goal range. Just to make a note, I think Dak Prescott's very smart run at the end of the game I think was like four seconds, so they got so Patrick Maho Holmes got the ball down into field goal range in the same amount of time it took Dak Prescott to run on one place. So, yeah, Dallas, you're no longer America's team. I'm just piggybacking off last week. I think the Chiefs, I think we're gonna go with the Kansas City Chiefs

are America's new team because they were a little smarter. Well, and think about this now, it's kind of this rise of the young quarterback. Joe Burrow, Patrick Mahomes now is in his fourth year as a starter, but Josh Allen incredible. Where we're thinking was that Tom Brady's last game, was that Aaron rodgers last game as a Packer? Like, we're seeing the old guard change, and it's pretty exciting. This young class of quarterbacks is very exciting. And there are

some that are not in the playoff, like Justin Herbert. Like, you know, there's so many guys who are young, up and coming quarterbacks that we're just gonna have the most fun covering for years and years to come. For like the next twenty years, we can be saying these names and it's pretty cool. Well, you know, it's tough for us to say anything bad about Aaron Rodgers because he doesn't follow many people on Instagram, but he follows me in Olivia, and that may be part of the problem.

Maybe you should spend less time looking at my crazy videos and a little bit more time on figuring out how you're gonna find where your balls are for the second half. What a shitty second half, Aaron Rodgers. I hope he doesn't listen to the podcast. I hope it stops with just following us on Instagram. Yeah, he followed you this week, so that's what he was doing instead of prepping for this game. He's following you on his papas. That had too much time on his hands. He had

too much time on his hands. That bye week is concerning because teams do look, you just lose momentum. It happens in basketball too, you know, you just you can't take that week off when you're in stride. It's just bad beat of the week. There were a lot of bad beat to choose from this weekend, but our winner goes to Datamus Man. What a name, he says. McKinnon had twenty seven yards before taking a three yard loss

on a botched pitch back. Turned out to be the last time they ran the ball with him, didn't getting a rushing try. She called it, she called that's what's called it. I didn't even need to see, I didn't need to watch it. And I call it because the loyal the chiefs. We're loyal to the chief. Yeah. She wants to know when they canna change in man because

it's offensive. What are we to start paying the cheerleaders, yes, and the cheerleaders, the Kansas City winners, the Kansas City hyenas, the hyenas and city hyenas, and the cheerleaders should be men and the football players should be women. Down with the patriarchy? Can you stop the sound issue? Yes, I'm sorry, I want to break your studio. Yes, we just we're here to break up dog fights. I still don't know why these are We can we can show up. And

this is usually what football players. This is what the trainer's room. Lot trainer's room looks like. They just say, oh, your ankles are Antonio Brown, take all of this right now. I'm sorry, I got like one minute. We're done for like okay, oh, we have be honest for fifteen more minutes. Whitney coming. I still can't believe you're at her house. You're holding her dog? Is that a little pitfull? What's going on? No? Yeah, no, Whitney's you know, he's what you call it, just a normal person. M M. I

don't know. She's pretty spectacular. Oh that was so cool. That has to be our social media clip. Oh that was too good. Guys. So the Honest is winning and Anonymous man was our loser for bad Beat of the Week, and god that was that was very cool? Okay, guys. Also, we have to remind you that we are nominated for an award.

Honest, let's unleaked it. I love Harry, still

do that every week, jannest I gotta do it. I can't imagine Unleash you known anything else this week except my Green Bay Packers. This was supposed to be the year they brought a title back to Title Town. We all know this window is closing on Aaron Rodgers, on some players up for free agency this summer, on all the amazing free agent pickups we got off the street this year. Our defense was finally good man, This had to be it. This was supposed to be the last

dance for Aaron Rodgers and Davante Adams. Maybe I don't know that they wanted all then we think they're back. They had the top seed. They had the first week by the road at the Super Bowl went through lambeau Field. The tundra was frozen, it was snowing, and the seventh seed forty Niners marched in there completely shut that place up. You know. Losing A J. Dillon was huge, and we clearly couldn't afford that. He scored the only offensive touchdown of the freaking game. A J. Dillon has been a

monster this year. They call him Quadzilla because he's got these big ham Hawks for quads. The defense was great, they got guys back and they were healthy. He's a Darius Smith. On San Francisco's first drive, I can't wait to rub this one in Pete's face the army crawl after he sacks Jimmy g I mean, we were rolling Devonte with a couple of memorable catches. I mean, just incredible. He's the best receiver in the league if you ask me. He was the only Packer receiver targeted for three quarters

three quarters. He's the only one. Aaron was thrown too. And then running back Aaron Jones, he had an incredible downfield catch and that drive ended with the blocked field goal. That was mind boggling. That was a head scratcher because it looked like a touchdown. It looked like there's a lot of open field. Watching that play back, I still feel like he could have cut differently and maybe maybe

hit his second gear. I don't know. I don't know how we didn't score on that one where we had to settle for a field goal and they blocked it. And then just fifty yards of offense in the second half. That all falls on the shoulders of Aaron Rodgers. And you know what pisses me off. He's looking around that

whole game his face like he's cold. And I know that sounds obvious, but like you're the Packers starting quarterback, and everyone else there is kind of excuse my language, nutt it up, and Aaron just looks soft and he looks like he doesn't want to be there, and that just that that made me so bad. Just all this this, this is his legacy we're talking about. And he does

this at home in the playoffs. He's five and four at lambeau Field in the playoffs, lights it up in the regular season favorite for m v P. Kind of makes a big deal of himself on podcasts and whatnot all season, and then he lays an egg when it matters, and that pisses me off. We know he was busy following you on Instagram this week, not preparing for the forty niners and playoff that now would not feature Tom Brady. This could have been his show, This could have been

his moment, and I'm pissed. I'm pissed. I gotta I gotta say I agree with you. He looked like he was waiting for the bus in freezing cold weather. That was his third demeanor the whole game. Yeah, I mean, I don't want to say anything bad about adaon Rodgers because now he's following me on the Graham, So I mean whatever, you know, so you win some and you lose something, that's all gonna say. You know, I think

maybe we can blame Alex Rodriguez. You know, as a Yankee fan, I could say he did win US a World Series, but you know, with a Rod comes drama okay, and the Packers were winning. Then they showed a Rod on TV with the Packers Beanie on and the forty Niners went and scored ten unanswered. So again, just like j Lo, the Packers fans can blame it on a Rod. He definitely cheated on her. That's what I'm saying. Okay, time for my unleased First, I think I need to

apologize to the Kickers. As we mentioned in the opening. You know, I still don't love Kickers, okay, but you guys hit all the game winners this weekend, and more importantly, you won me a lot of money, okay, and I beat Olivia, so that's what that's what matters. Spoiler alert. Yes, I won the punishment pick because I picked all of those road dogs to win, because I picked with my heart and I picked with who the underdog is because

it's just always more exciting. I'm not a cold hearted numbers runner like oh h D. I also don't know if we can make him Executive of the Year, but he may get Down of the year. Who are we talking about? Yes, we gotta give it up to Odell Beckham Senior for helping his son get out of Cleveland. The man is a gene is oh b J is back making plays. He's having fun. He's one game away

from being on the biggest stage, the super Bowl. You know, he's getting paid in bitcoin, and I think bitcoin is down right now, so his contract, I think, if you run the math, is only worth thirty five thousand dollars at this moment. But the kids playninged like he is in college again. He's having fun. But we need to talk about how much bullshit NFL over times are. Okay, that's really what I want to on leash on. It's Twitter's ablaze with it. Everyone's passed. Former players are tweeting

about it. Say Kwan Barkley was like, I guess whoever wins the toin cost wins the game. They really need to change that. It's you can't just have a sudden death rule and leave it to luck. You can't just leave it in God's hands. You gotta let Josh Allen get a chance to get back out there and tie that game. It's the playoffs, man. You don't want to see a game end like that. And they just need to change that. Them and the college football comedies need to get together and we need to go to referendum

and let the people decide this. The people have spoken. Football needs to change. Baby, Let democracy rang, don't let the CCP win. I love it. I love it. That was like two unleashed in one. That was really good. I was all over the place like I usually am. Yeah, that was that was right on brand for you. All right, Well, that was a lot of fun. Let's go ahead and bring in someone who knows what the hell they're talking about. It's Tori Smith. He's a winner of two Super Bowls.

Let's bring in court. Throughout his eight year NFL career, whenever he stepped on the field, he was a deep ball threat that made plenty of big plays and helped win two Super Bowl titles, one with the Ravens one with the Eagles. Tor Smith is here. Tori, thanks for joining us. Thank you appreciate still having me. This is really exciting as we are gearing up and we are all in super Bowl mode. To have someone who's been there and done it, not once, but twice is pretty special. Now.

I know a lot of people may have thought you played in the greatest Divisional round playoff game of all time Ravens and Broncos double overtime classic. What do you think now after what we saw this weekend? Is it still the greatest of all time? Listen? Uh, I actually said it myself and admitted to it. The My High a miracle was amazing, Actually had an amazing game. Myself scored a couple of touchdowns against one of my atoms

coming up, Champ Bailey, which is something I'll always remember. However, that's a personal story, personal situation. Great win for the Baltimore Ravens. As a fan, this was better than that game because there were touchdowns swinging back and forth. I mean, the first half of that game was electrifying because a lot of people don't remember. You know, I scored a couple of times in the My High Miracle. They scored on a special teams. They ran to kick off back,

they were in a punt back. So there are a lot of crazy things that happened. But to catch at the end kind of overshadows everything in this game. The last two minutes were ridiculous. So that's, to me alone, is what gets it done, because the back half of the game is really where all the marvels count and the big time players came up and it was a

great time. I've got to ask just so people know you're talking about Bills at Chiefs, Gabriel Davis setting a new NFL playoff record with four touchdowns, and then Tyreek Hill doing his thing in peak Tyreek Hill fashion as a wide receiver. What did you see from those two talents? Man, it was unbelievable to be able to watch both of them perform. You know, Tyreek Hill actually worked out with him a couple of times in the off season, and I'm a fast guy. Take a lot of pride in

that being able to run by any cornerback on the field. However, Tyreek Hill is the fastest and most explosive athlete that I've seen period um. He gets up to his full speed and like three steps, which is why you saw him take off at the show across and run by everyone. I was watching the game for my wife and my boys. I let them stay up for that one. They were by me and I told my wife as soon as he caught it and I saw that he had that much space, I was like, he's gone, He's gone. And it

it was just sitting there yelling, going crazy. And then for what they were able to do on the bill side, I mean, that was unbelievable. Four touchdowns is something that you know he'll always remember. I know I'll remember it as a fan because you knew going into that game, you have Stefon Diggs, who is my fellow, my little brother, one of the best receivers in the league. You knew that they have Emmanuel Sanders out there, Emmanuel Sanders, and you know he was going to have to play a

big role as well. But also with Cole Beasley, right, one of the best side receivers in league, who's going to be the guy to step up? And not only did he deliver, he stepped up and then something I don't think anyone would have predicted a four touchdown performers, but it was something that we'll all remember for a long time. Tory, we were just trying to figure out the bye week. Is it an advantage a disadvantage? What's your view on the bye week and how it affects teams.

I think it's an advantage. However, I'm not sure if the numbers truly show that because the number one team doesn't always go and to me, the reason why, I will say it's always an advantage. I don't care what the results show. It's one, you have one extra week to heal. These guys are beat up and you have an extra game. Two. You had the opportunity to only win two games and get to the super Bowl too. It's easier than three. So that's why I can be alone. If you can get the bye week, you have it.

It's hard to win in the NFL, and in the playoffs it gets even harder. The stakes are higher. I just call it the Patriots playing. You know, they go, they win their division, and often times they were one of those top two seeds. Now it's only one by so it's only one team that's affected by it. But to me, if you can get to buy, you take it. I don't care what people say about losing rhythm and taking time off. I was in Philadelphia. We wanted we had to buy a week. We were the top seed.

We knew we only need to win two games, and it was easier. I was also in Baltimore. We're played in the division around and then we went on the road to Denver and then on the road to New England. It was harder to do it that way, but we got it done. So either way, it doesn't matter if you don't come up, come to play. Doesn't matter if you get start play week one or you get that by week So what is the biggest difference between a

regular season game and a playoff game? As a player, as you go throughout the week, as you go through your media responsibilities, your practices, what's different in the building? You just know that it's a win or go home. You know it's something that you live and you dream about. You know, I know watching that game. I tell people I've been retired for a couple of seasons now and I never missed playing football until the playoffs because there's

absolutely nothing like it. The pressure of knowing that you worked hard just to get your ticket to the party, right, and that's the playoffs. It doesn't matter where you see, it doesn't matter if you're one, doesn't matter if your last. You have a chance. And so when you have the opportunity to go out there and to compete. There is nothing like that rush and the media. Yes there's more media,

but you can hide in the locker room. You don't have to necessarily be I knew it if if that's not a thing, you don't necessarily have to be out there. But the reality of it is an interviews, an interview that's a part of your job. The most important thing is how do you practice, how do you prepare? And so to me to say that the media is a distraction for something that you did with each and every week, it's not like the super Bowl where you have to

go to full out media events. They're just they're the same time the media gets to step for it's probably like twenty more cameras, right, that's really the biggest difference. But to me, the stakes are hired. You know, it's winner go home, and it's ultimately what you worked hard for the entire year just to simply get in that position. When you're playing in cold like that Packers game, what's the difference. What does it feel like as a player adapting to that cold? What do those hits feel like

when it's zero degrees out? Man? Full transparency, I hate cold weather, right, I'm the guy. Every time I go to my car in the morning, I'm yelling out because it doesn't have auto start. I'm like springting to it. I'm yelling mad the entire time. So I hate cold weather. However, as a player, I never wore sleeves. I'm not gonna allow the cold weather to get to me. I'm not gonna drop a ball because I have long sleeves. I'm gonna drop it because I dropped it. I don't want

any excuses, so I just tucked it out with that. However, that football is like catching a brick. The coldest game that I've ever played in was at my high miracle game that we spoke to earlier, when the Baltimore Ravens. He went up to Denver and it was freezing, which is why we knew that Peyton Manning himself was struggling

a little bit when the elements changed. He had played in a dome his entire career, and for us coming off and knowing that he was having some challenges there, we were like, we wanted to be as cold as it can be, and what we got what we asked for because it was freezing out there. I'll never forget looking at like Marshall Yonder's beard, future Hall of Fame guard for the Ravens. His beard was frozen. He would drink water, do a little squirt on his face and

like it was like freeze over. Like it was unbelievable how cold it was. But at the end of the day, you're right, the ball, it's hard to catch the ball. The hits hurt more, and you have to make sure that you don't don't get in your own head about the weather. What do you think about the overtime rules that played a huge part in this past weekend's divisional round? So you tweeted it and I don't think you're a fan,

but what do you think it should be? Then? I hate the overtime rules with the passion like it really bothers me. And the people that defended they bothered me too. Because the game of football, all three phases are played throughout the entire four quarters. Offense, defense, special teams. They're all important. However, when you get to overtime, there's a

clear advantage. But the team that's on offense and people are like, oh, they had their defense on the field that, uh, well, guess what if your offense scores do lose the game. If the defense forces that turnover, they're offense still has to score. That's not equal. I don't care what you say about the defense being great and having the ability. Yes, it's important, Yes they should stop them. However, both teams should have the opportunity to answer the calls on the

other side. Why am I saying that it's like that in baseball and people like, oh, that's a different sport. Well, okay, imagine you go is and all of a sudden the top of the ending, you go first, your team hits a home run and the game is over and the other team doesn't get a chance to that back. That makes no sense. On the flip side, it's the only major sport with that type of overtime platform where it could be sudden death and you have to rely on

one side of the field. And even beyond that, where we are right now, we were all robbed of seeing we watched one of the best quarterback games in the history of football, and we will never know if Josh Allen was gonna be able to answer the call to bring his team back, and not to me, we were robbed of that experience. The emotional highs that I had

watching that game. I felt like I was playing. My heart was pounding, like my chest was tight, And I don't care who I didn't get who the winner was, right, I have friends on both sides of the field. But the reality of it is in a sport, in a game really that over the years has been cared towards the quarterbacks to not allow both of them, because again we're it's it's a myth. Winning is a team stat. However,

who gets all the credit the quarterbacks? And we don't get the quarterback on the opposite team a chance to put his team into position. That's not right and to me, there should be a change on that. Yeah, I mean, you know, if Dak Prescott would have had the opportunity, he might have ran the ball with thirteen fourteen seconds on the clock. What do you think happened there? Just I don't want to go back too far, but like as a former football player, someone who knows the game

so well, what happened? What was going through Dak's mind or McCarthy's mind. Why would you why would you do that play? Why would you run? Well? You you run that play because on the outside of the field. They're guarding the sideline to make sure that you don't catch out and get out of bound. So it actually was a great call. You run, you pick up the yards, but the execution was terrible. Okay, you can't go that committed rule number one. Everyone wants to blame the fans,

and I know all the little Cowboys fans. They love to cry and complain all the time. Anyways, they weren't blame the referee. The number one thing that you're taught as a person that handles the ball, is that a two minute drill situation. You hand the ball to the referee period. You never tossed it to him. You don't. You don't do it. Why they aren't the most athletic people on the field. So imagine they would have lost because that tossing the ball in the referee dropped it.

We would have been talking about the rest were cheating. You're taught to hand in the ball because they have to set the ball. Who cares if you have an accurate spot. The ref has a job to do and you're taught that. You drill that. So we should really be mad at the operations of the Dallas Cowboys and what they did because they had enough time to get it down because they still almost spiked it. With enough time, they would have spiked the ball with two seconds left

and they would have had another shot. And by the way, we're complaining about it, like it was a touchdown that was taking off the table. They still had to try to get some kind of crazy play down the field. But that was their fault. That was poor execution by them. And that's again, that's the number one car So if you're coaching the team, I don't care if it's Pop Warner or high school or college, you know, to hand

the ball to the referees. Don't do what Dallas did, not for their mistakes sticking in the NFC over their Rams the last two weeks with their huge win over the Cardinals. You couldn't even believe those teams were meeting in the playoffs. And then to go on the road to the defending champs and send Tom Brady back home to his Tampa Bay mansion is just cruel. And how did you see them do it? I just I can't believe what team I'm watching, especially as they tried to

give the game away. Listen, I predicted that the Rams would win that game. It had less to do with what I believe in the Rams. I do believe that if the Rams not really the Rams, and Matthew Stafford's who I know who he is as an elite type of quarterback. When he protects the ball and he plays well, that's a team that can win it all. On the flip side of that, Tampa Babe hadn't been They weren't hot. To me, I didn't believe in their offense they are

really missing Antonio Brown and Chris Godwin. Like those guys being out was a big deal and you were able to see that yesterday. Yes, it got hot at the end of the the back half, which we we all called in my house. I was like when they turned the ball over at the one yard line at halftime, which really would have been a dagger if camp Makers would have scored instead of fumbling. I told my wife, I said, Tom Brady's gonna figure out a way to get back in this. They just gave them a ball

and what happened. They made it interesting. But to me, I just felt like the Rams were the better team overall, and I didn't feel like they had enough on offense on Tampa to really push on through. But I could have very easily have been wrong because the Rams did everything that I said they needed to do, and then they about blew it in the second half because they didn't take care of the ball. The number one metric when you watch any game and determining who won and

loss is turnovers. And as much of it is as it is turnovers, it's about when and where you do it. And so they about shot themselves in the foot simply by not protecting the ball. But that's a team that next week have an opportunity to play at home. It's gonna be really fun to watch them compete against the point Nines. And I'm glad that they were able to earn it. And I'm glad that Tom Brady also too, was able to get to them a scare because everyone

knows he's not gonna admit it. He was a little shorthanded with what he had to work with, and he went out there game a great chance. Mike Evans was who he was, and they fought to the end, but they just came up short. That's just football. If Antonio Brown was playing, is that different? Do they win that game? Absolutely? If Antonio Brown was playing, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers would have won that game. Not to get too off topic, how well do you know a B and what are

your thoughts on that whole situation. Yeah, I've known a B since I was a junior in college and I was at the University of Maryland. One of my best friends, Bruce Campbell, was training for the combine and there was a guy down there who was from Central Michigan and he was working his tail off. I was watching and workout. I'm like, man, this dude is He's a beast and his mentality was his mentality about working out was just completely different. And that that guy was Antonio Brown, you know.

And from then working out the same place that Ba Morito's in Aventury in South Florida, I was able to watch compete with him in workouts and his he was just a completely different animal. You know, No one outworks

Antonio Brown. So we can get caught up in all the lunatic things that he does off of the field, but the reality of it is on the field and when it comes to working and being the best of his craft, he puts in all the work and to me, in my experiences with him, he's always been amazing to me. He's always been amazing to my family. But he's been a guy that definitely sets the tone as a receiver

that you want to work and compete with. But it's been it's unfortunate that his career has really been like this the past few years. You know, I'm sure that there's been some challenges and some things that he hasn't talked about publicly. You know, mental health is a real thing,

you know. And I'm not saying he's crazy for doing some of the things he's done, even though that's the easy thing to say, but the reality of it is, you know, dealing with some of those things off the field, and um, the pressure that he puts on himself for being great and sometimes you know, even your own persona and your ego sometimes getting away of things. So I think he probably was more of a victim of that than anything else. But he's a guy. I'm definitely cheering

for him. I hope the best forman eventually they'll have a gold jacket after they hold him hostage for a few years. That's really well said, that's good perspective. Let's take it back a little bit to your Super Bowl wins, which one was sweeter, who's got the better fans? Which celebration did you enjoy more? No, the tough questions and I'm gonna give you an answer. And everyone always like, oh, it's cliche both of them, right, But the answer truly is both for me, and I'm gonna give you the

real reason why. Because my second year, first of all, my rookie year, we went to the an f C Championship game and we lost to the Patriots on him last second play that wasn't made a great play by Sterling More to punch it out of Lee Evans arm didn't make the catch, and then Billy kund Of missed the kick to send it into overtime, and that's how we lost with the last thirty seconds at the game. So I didn't watch that Super Bowl because I was so petty. I was hurt. I couldn't watch it. I

felt like we should have been there. And then the following year we go when we have a crazy year and we're playing well, and my my brother actually passed away during that season, So you know, I had a heavy heart that entire year. My family was definitely more involved in present than ever for that year for me and so to go and to win the Super Bowl. My family. We had never been on a vacation anywhere, so I went to the Super Bowls. I don't know if I'll ever get here, so I flew all of

my siblings down, my family down. They stay there and we got to celebrate. We ended up winning Super Bowls on the field with my family at the end of the year like that. You know, it was a truly a special year. But on the flip side of that, that was for me personally. On the flip side of that, in Philadelphia, now I'm celebrating and we had another tough year and doing it being the first one to do it for the city of Philadelphia, who has the craziest

fan base in the world. It was a completely different animal, you know, at that point where I was in my life. I've been in San Francisco for a couple of years. Didn't go well. I wasn't involved in the offense like I thought I would be, And you know, it's honestly stressful. I love the four nine is, I love the organization, but it was a hard time for me, like knowing that I wasn't, you know, being who I know I am, and it was. It was tough. It was very tough.

And to be able to go to a place like Philidelpia, my wife's from outside of Philadelphia and Kyle talking, she was able to be around her family and we made it through a Philadelphia be the first ones to do it there. And on top of that, I'm celebrating in the difference then, is that my wife's coming to me, who was my fiance the first Super Bowl. Now my wife's coming to me, and she's passing me my two

sons to celebrate with. So it was just two completely different experiences, you know, seeing my boys like you know, it was definitely an emotional moment for me and I loved it and they both are definitely equal in weight to me. Speaking of an emotional moment, you mentioned when your brother passed one year with the Ravens and that night you had a game. You told John Harbaugh that you could play in that game against the Patriots and

he said it was your call. In that game, you had a hundred twenty seven yards and two touchdowns in an epic one point win over the Patriots. How do you describe how important that was to you that night? In this ace of tragedy. What do you remember from hardball and your teammates during that time. I mean, it was huge. You know, I'm not an overly emotional guy. You know, my mom always told me I was a little cold hearted little kid. But that was right, you

know for me, that was tough. You know, that was extremely tough. You no, I up to that point, I never really dealt with death with anyone like close to me and my family, and so that that was hard for me watching that and I went home. That's one of the luxuries of living close to where you play. I'm from Virginia and I was in Baltimore, so I was able to lead a hotel and the Baltimore Rains.

I was going to lead a hotel and drive home when I found out at about you know, ten eleven o'clock at night or whatever it was, and they ended up having one of their security guys driving me down to Virginia. My fiance and my brother who was who was up there lived with me at the time, and we went home. And so I was home in Virginia. I wasn't really thinking about the game, you know. I wanted to see my mom. I wanted to see my siblings.

I wanted to make sure that everything was okay, you know, not that I could change anything or do anything, but you know, I just wanted to to to be there, you know, around my family. And so the next day, you know, if we had a day game, I probably would have never played, but it was it was a primetime night game. Because the reason why I'm saying that is I only slept like an hour, an hour or two make Max and I ended up saying, all right,

I'm just gonna watch and see what happened. And I talked to our ball and he was like, hey, what are you playing on doing? And my mom was like, well, I think you should play. You know, we want you to play. And I'm like, well, I don't want to hurt my team because I'm tired. You know, I'm one of those people that you know, when you're tired day, they're delusional. So you know, I didn't really want to put that on my team, but my family wanted me to do it, and I had a different kind of

energy about it. You know, I'll never forget walking into the stadium and the Ravens fans and embracing me. You know, when I got dropped off you know, it's definitely set some tears, you know, in that moment, because at that point the news had already broke. You know, I was home watching ESPN and playing mad and with my siblings.

My brother is like I normally do. And then you know, you're watching ESPN and they talk about me and my brother passing away, you know, and that and that I'm not there, you know, which is a very weird experience, but you know, that's just the reality of it. But I ended up, you know, coming back, and you know, my family ended up watching the game, and everyone was initially supposed to go but just stay home in Virginia

after that. But it was it was a big moment for my family to be able to score, to have the touchdown balls. You know, actually they're in his casket with him, um, so I don't have them, you know. After we after we scored, we had the touchdown balls, I just left him in his caskul m and just

dealt through life. And because of the Ravens, like I'll never be able to thank them enough for their support through that process, the fans from all over really and their support is definitely something that you know helped my family used to pay. That's beautiful, man, very beautiful. Speaking of the Ravens, do you have any Ray Lewis stories? What was it like playing with such a talent and a beast like ray Lewis? Man, Ray is of one of one. You know, there's only one ray Lewis walking

his plan and that's for sure. But his energy, you know, his passion, its commitment. You know, I was able to play with him on the back end of his career. But to see the way he worked in his work ethic, there's nothing like it. You know, I talked about Antonio Brown. What I've learned is the guys that are truly great, there's a different little edge to him. And to be able to see that out of Ray even something is little.

Like I shared, I coached my little seven or seven organization now and I'm talking to the kids about their effort and how do you learn it? When I was taught that way by my high school coach, who I thought he was a drill sergeant, and also when I went to the University of Maryland and coach Fregan and James Franklin head coach at Penn State was our O C. And Lee Hall, my receiver's coach. They taught us to practice like pro and so when I went to the league,

I was already prepared in that way. I knew what it was like to finish, keep running past the last defender. I knew those things. But to watch, you know, one of the greatest players that ever played this game do it on the back end of his career, chasing me down the sideline. You know, if I got the ball, whether he made the tackle or not, like, it just changed the way I viewed like work, you know, and it doesn't matter. So it's like, if that guy's doing it,

he set the standard for everything. And I think that, you know, it's a huge lesson in that for young players to think, oh, it's just practice. No, no, no, no. It wasn't just practice when ray Lewis was on the field. You know, it wasn't just practice when Ed Reid was on the field. It wasn't just practiced when Terrel Subs was on the field. Helodianda Marshall Yonder, Right, there's a reason why all those guys are gonna be Hall of Famers, and two of Marty are And so to me, my

ray Lewis is being a kid. You know, it's weird because I played with ray Lewis's brother college, and I would watch ray Lewis when he comes, you know, like a little creeper, like like you know, that's ray Little standing over there, you know. I mean I still remember shaking his hand and inducing myself. And then you know, a couple of years later, you know, I'm walking in the locker room and he's coming up to me, you know, welcome me to the team, you know, and that's the

guy that you know everyone. For me, I looked at the ray Lewis coming up, so to be able to play with them was truly a special experience. But to me, just his work ethic, his commitment, his passion, his love for what he does and love for his team. You know, there's nothing like watching it. And also I can't forget about the pregame hype. Everyone knows the chance, you know, I was always there in front and center, like I really was, like I can't believe I'm here, Like you know,

you're watching it and getting energized. But his speeches, man, he should be a pastor somewhere right now. Like what stands out there? Anything he said pregame that you'll just never forget I mean it's his messages to individuals, you know. You know, Ray Lewis comes around and like ReBs just like oil on every player's forehead before the game, like literally, yeah, literally every single player and they're like, what, probably coaches too.

I don't know. He's like praying over everybody, you know, but he's really starving his faith. But to me, you know, I'll never My first start was against the St. Louis Rams and ray comes over to me and he just grabbed and I'm sitting there and I just feel like this big I'm like, who's grabbing me? He was like I feel it. He's like I feel it. He's like, you're so ready to feel like that. I feel it. You canna have a big day. You can be the reason why we win this game. You canna have a

big day. You know. I'm just like, man, this dude just pumping me up, you know, trying to make sure. But he came out of nowhere. I was just walking through the tunnel, you know. But he knew that I needed to play a big role in order for us to be successful. And he came over there and my first start. They set it all up. They were baby in this rookie now at a rough camp. They were a baby to be trying to make sure that, you know, I got easy into the game because we had traded

for Lee Evans to be the starter. Because I wasn't ready. I was a lockout kid. I didn't learn the offense until camp and my head was spending. So I'm not even gonna lie to you. I didn't really. I wasn't comfortable with my assignments until about the third or fourth

preseason game. Because that lockout year, we didn't have an off season workout, you know, And I I don't feel bad for the kids last year who didn't have off season workouts because of COVID, but at least at a Zoom meeting, we didn't have the plays, so, you know, And and I stuggled with that and so for Ray to to come over and do that, and the team eased me in. They were like, hey, to first play the game, we're throwing it to you. We're gonna throw you a hitch and if you run a hitch, and

they pressed it turned into a go route. Well, I lined up to run my hitch and I see the DV come on up to press. I'm like, oh, here, we go when the first play of the game touchdown a bomb, and then we come back again the next drive and I catch another touchdown for a big post, you know, and in the second quarter, come back down and to catch another touchdown. So I ended up scoring

three touchdowns in the first quarter. Excuse me, My first three catches were touchdowns, and I thought the first quarter was the first half. But I know, my first three catches were touchdowns. And my confidence from being overs through the group. And he was one of the first people to greet me, you know, on that sideline, you know, telling me, hey, I told you, you know, And that was he was from my confidence for our shows purposes, we'll say the first quarter revisionist history. It was it.

But the first three catches were Yeah, you won two super Bowls with one backup quarterback and Joe Flacco. Which one are you more surprised by? And is it really a quarterbacks league? I mean your two super Bowl teams, the defense was strong, the wide receivers played a role. What was that like winning super Bowls with a backup quarterback? How did the team stay together? And did you guys believe you were gonna win with Nick Foles? Yeah? I'll

start with the Joe Flack on the first one. First, Joe Flacco had a lemon touchdowns and zero interceptions, so absolutely he carried the team. We can talk about all we want, all the defense you guys had. Our defense wasn't lights out when we were in Denver. If that wasn't anyone go watch that game. Between special teams and things like that. We had to score points on offense.

But to be fair, Corey Graham also scored a touchdown, so our defense made some cornerback scored a touchdown on the pick six, So you know, players were to be made. But we don't win that Super Bowl without Joe Flacco throwing the ball giving us chances and guys making plays.

And in Philadelphia, you know, when Nick Foles came in, like I don't even know if I should be saying this, but it's all his arm was like kind of messed up the entire season and so you know, we didn't necessarily have the reps that we needed, and so it was a little rocky at first. And part of it. I'll always tell people, you know, you got stunped going into the playoffs. I'm always fully transparent. We had that by week. So we had our first sea we had

locked up. We went out of their offense for one series and I'm not gonna lie I dropped the ball that had I would have called it, I probably would have ran four yards for a touchdown. But who took the heat? Nick Foles. Oh, the offense stunk it up that So I always apologize when that comes up because if I would have scored that touchdown, no one would have. If I'd have caught the ball, no one said anything, but it got up on me. I didn't see it. It was quick. But but for Folds, we didn't have

that same kind of chemistry. We felt like we were gonna win it with Carson, for sure. The difference was when we got into that practice because we had that by week, it was a completely different offense. It felt completely different. Nick was comfortable They're putting in things that he liked, and Folds was dealing um. He was like. The one thing I love about Nick Foles is his confidence, his confidence in himself, his confidence in you. And I've told you all about ray Lewis and his speeches and

being a pastor. Nick Foles will be a little road pastor with the way he delivers and literally studying in seminary school, so he's gonna be a real one, and complication skills are unbelievable, you know, his confidence, and I think that was really what the difference was. You know, Nick Folks started just giving guy's chances to make plays. And if you watch the Super Bowl, you saw that over and over. It wasn't hey, we're gonna scheme you up,

We're gonna run all these trick plays. Yes, Philly Special was one, but guys were scheming up. Guys are making plays, and he was giving guy's chances to do it. And we felt that, you know, because people we played the Falcons, you know, and in our first one and that one was a little little iffy. They're right, you know. We didn't play the best on offense. We didn't make all the plays that we need to make. We had a

little luck. I remember catching a lucky ball in the second quarter and bounced off the defenders knee and right into my arms. One of the luckiest plays in NFL history, I swear. And for that to happen, and Folks comes back, makes an amazing throw the outshine and now we get a field go before half. Why is that important. We go into the end of the game, the Falcons had to score a touchdown to win the game because we were able to steal over three points. If not, they

would have kicked the field goal. And that's the difference between winning and losing, and Folds made some big time plays. It goes from at least from my point of view, people are like, well, how are you ready for it? Honestly, I was trying to figure out how I was going through. In my eyes, it looked like an easy interception. I'm like, it's three on one. How do I keep this from

being a pick six? Like That's how That's what went through my mind, and it bounced up cast of all running around, Folds gets going and it's a completely different ball game. And I think plays like that. At moments like that, Folds was the same regardless, and that's what to me makes him the most special. His demeanor. Um, obviously he's a playmaker, but his trust and his demeanor is second and none. That's really cool to hear because you just don't think about all the journey, everything it

took to get there. So that's really cool to hear all that Behind the scenes. Tori, before we let you go. I want to do a preview of this week ends games. The conference championships we've previewed teased a little bit. Let's start in the NFC. Rams are three and a half point favorite at home. You mentioned they get to stay at home and if they go to the super Bowl that's at home. That's pretty special. And they're playing the forty Niners. Forty Niners beat them twice in the regular season.

Can they beat them three times? Beating a scene three times, It's hard to do, but I think the forty Niners King I was on social media earlier talking about how this feels like one of those weird years where things are going right for the forty Niners and people didn't think they were supposed to be there where it kind of feels like it's your year and they've been coming out on top of these games. But I think they stand a chance and to me, if both teams play

their best, the Rams will win the game. I'm rooting for the forty Niners because, you know, have an opportunity to play there and laying a bunch of teammates and guys that gave me an opportunity, I definitely want it for them, But I think the Rams this time around, they're gonna be a lot more prepared. You know, the key to that game, it's going to be Jimmy G. And I know everyone's riding Jimmy G. And I'm probably worse than everyone else. I was definitely calling for trade Lands.

I'm not one of those guys wagon, but I'm being completely honest about it because I felt like at one point in the season, they weren't winning because of him, they were winning with him, and there's a difference. So to me, it's like, well, if you're just winning because the guy, and he's not making these big time plays anyway, why why not make a switch? That was my thought process.

But that's why Kyle Shannon hands the coach and I'm over here talking about it because he's stuck with his decision and he knows if his rookie is ready or not. And they go out there and they were able to turn it around. And so Jimmy G when he protects the ball, the forts are and the way they run the ball in their scheme, they can do some special things. But they're gonna need Jimmy G to make a couple of big plays and that's going to be the difference.

It kind of reminds me of in the Super Bowl a few years back when the Party Niners were there. If he hits Emmanuel Sanders on that post route when he's running wide open in the fourth quarter to win the game, the narrative about him is completely different right now. You know, but he didn't. But I think plays like that are going to present themselves. And if he protects the ball and hits those plays when they're they're not force it just take the place when they're there, the

fort Nights can come out on top. Okay, Okay, that's pretty good advice. What about in the a f C because I'm hearing a lot of people say that whoever won Chief's Bills would be pretty exhausted going into the a f C Championship because that was kind of the a f C Championship that was the tougher game. Now it is Chiefs. They are at home for the fourth straight year in the a f C Championship, and they've got the Bengals, who are maybe the swaggiest, coolest team

to watch right now. What do you think Chiefs our seven point favorite? First of all, I wish the Super Bowl. I wish we could cancel everyone else out and watch the Bills and Chiefs playing the Super Bowl, because but we can't do that, and everyone fights for their opportunity. I feel like the Kent City Chiefs, and I've been

telling people this for the last two years. I'm not betting against them until that roster is entirely separated because Patrick Mahomes is the best quarterback in the game, and when he's playing like he is right now, they're tough to stop. Earlier in the year they were they were very questionable, but right now, the way they're playing, I don't know how you can stop them, and on the flip side of that, defense can get it together, get

some pressure. They're going against the right opponent for that. The Bengals have been struggling to protect Joe Burrow, so I think that's really the biggest match up there. But Joe Burrow is going to do his thing for Carless. You make it sacked a lot, but he's gonna make his plays. I love the confidence that he's brought to this organization, to the team. I don't care if they win or lose next week. This is one of the biggest and best turnarounds in NFL history. They were just

drafting first overall. Just a couple of years ago. Crazy Joe Burrow tears his knee. This last season, Joe Borrow tears his knee, and now he's back and we don't even remember he tore his knee. Great, they add a couple of tools to the tool box and now they're here in the a f C Championship Game with one of the more entertaining offensive groups in the league. And that's all because of Joe Burrow, all because of the

confidence that he brings. And Coach Taylor deserves some respect for what he's been able to do, and the g M as well for piecing it all together. But the reality of it is this ship goes as Joe Burrow goes, and they're gonna have their hands full over there at Arrowhead Stadium. But the reality of it is they have a different confidence that we failed to talk about. They

beat them just a few weeks ago. So when you have the confidence knowing that you can beat you know, Goliath, it's a different it's a different attitude walking into and now it's just that you have to do it in their house. And one thing about them playing at home. It was rocking in Cincinnati that day. It was, but they haven't seen that crowd, noise, that arrowhead, and they're gonna have the challenge of trying to keep that quiet.

So it's gonna be fun to watch. But if any team can do it, this young team that is the underdog that people don't feel like they belong there, they're in proposition to be able to pull off an upset. I love it. Well, those are the pics right there that you haven't who's winning the Super Bowls? Let fishes before you get to it. I know I said the Bankers they can't. Yes, however, I'm not betting against the Chiefs in any situation. Amb Tori, thank you so much

for your time. You gave us tons of good stories from the past, inside into your family and your personal journey in the NFL. I mean that was that was one of my favorite interviews. I really appreciate you coming on. Thank you appreciate jading. That was awesome. Don't forget to follow Tory Smith on Twitter at Tory Smith Wide Receiver. That's w R Tori. Thanks so much for joining us. Time to get to this weekend's action. Two big games to decide who advances to Super Bowl. Let's bring in

bet MGM betting expert. It's Peter Andrew. So there he is, the great Peter Andrew, gloating in the glory of the victory of his team. You can't see him. He's got a cigar, he's got a full forty Niners uniform on, but most of all, he's wearing a smile and a glow in his eyes like he's high on fetnel. I just gotta ask, are you wearing football pants as well or their cleats? What else are you wearing that we can't see? Yeah, I left the shoulder pads downstairs? Are

getting nostrils that have those on? Two? Yeah, it feels great to be an IMS fan this week commanding victory not really but no, offensively, just about nothing, but special teams did just about everything, so it was it was a good one for one of us here. I hear you, I hear you. You've earned this one. I would be doing it if it was my team, forty Niners and Packers. Man that I don't want to face you all in the postseason, even when I thought you guys stunk on

Sunday on sorry, on Saturday which you did. We stunk more so it was that that was really hard to watch that. I woke up Sunday morning like I was hungover and I'm pregnant and not drink until I'm not. But I felt sick to my stomach. And I'm texting with my poor grandmother, my grandmother in Green Bay, Wisconsin, who loves the Packers so much, she doesn't watch the game till the next morning, and she's texting me the

next morning. I just saw what happened in my cop I was like, oh, I'm driving a cheese game, like a tear running down my face. Congratulate as thank you. If there's any reason I feel bad, it's for gllten in front of Grandma Decker or Grandma Harland. I mean, but yeah, I mean honestly, you know, jokes aside. After that first drive, I was nervous because you guys just up the field. I felt like thirty seconds. But I think this is where Shanni and screws good Is. I

think they make changes in real time. The House of got to Rogers a bit offense. I have no excuse. Four They're gonna have to score more than thirteen points on Sunday if they're gonna win against the Rams. But see what happens. So let's start there with a little preview punishment picks. Be honest, you make your pick first for this one NFU championship in l A. If the Rams win, they stay in l A. I mean, that's

that's pretty cool. That could be back to back home super Bowl champs, which had never happened before last year. It's pretty incredible. We're at this point again. But the Rams have turned on the Jets these last two weeks. It's it's pretty impressive what they did against Arizona and then last week just enough to beat the Buccaneers surge. So do they do it again? Do they hold on and beat the forty niners? I don't know, guys, easily. It's gonna be big too. It's not gonna be even

an interesting game. The Rams are juggernaut right now. San Francisco, you know, Peter is our friend. I want to say congratulations, but they didn't really win that game. The Packers really lost that game. San Francisco doesn't look great. Jimmy g doesn't look great. He doesn't make those big claps. Well, he does look great, but he's looking great. Yeah. Yeah, he'll never play as great as he looks. So it's

gonna be Rams big. I mean, their wide receivers are just gonna be running all over the place a lot of yards after catches. It's gonna be showtime baby in l A. It's almost like Magic Johnson's out there with them. It's just gonna be a romping. The forty Niners are overachieving, just like Peter Andrew with his cigar are it's probably that's probably no Cuban, that's probably a Philly blunt. You're right, it isn't a Cuban. It's a knockoff and even says

counterfeit on it. Yeah, pretty sure. It's not like a toy prop from the like Party City or something nice. I'm also taking the Rams, and three and a half is not a big number. I think they're gonna win much bigger than that. Okay, we're in agreement on the first game. It's so weird. We only have one other game, so let's get to that one. Peter t s up. Yeah, so the lines have moved a half point in both of these games. They started at three for the Rams

over the Niners. It started at seven for the Chiefs of the Bengals. That's now up to seven and a half. That's the big number there for an an f C championship game. What do you think they're be honest? Uh, I went with the no brainer on the first one. So you know what, unlike Olivia, who has apparently still a team left in this, I don't know, she's got two teams. She breaks the rules. She's a Packers fan, she's a Chiefs fan. You know, she's just fair weather.

I mean, who had a backup favorite team and look at that. Yeah, it's not fair. It's not fair. You gotta pick one team. You can't have two teams. You know. It's like she still has a team in this. Who does that? The cold hearted? Oh h d. It's like favorite comedians just doesn't there's rules to this, Peter. In sports, you have to pick a team, and you either ride the joy of their victory or you'd ride the misery of their defeat like a true loyal fan. Oh h d.

You can't have two teams. Pick one. Okay, it's like trying to have two quarterbacks. It doesn't work. And that's why San Francisco is gonna get ropped because they still are not sold on Jimmy G good transition. Yeah I am. I am going with why not, let's go with just let's let's go with let's go with magic. Let's go with the Bengals. Baby, it's gonna be magical. They're going all the way the Super Bowl. Joe Burrow is riding his Swag, his horse named Swag, all the way to

the Super Bowl. And again we're talking money line here. I want to make that very clear. I'm taking the Chiefs money line. To actually play this, I would take the Bengals with the spread. Do you like that, Peter? Uh? You I do. I think it is going to be a close game. I think it's a field goal game. I think both of them are, to be honest, and

I'm just gonna go back real quick. You said there's back to back home games potentially for the Rams here with NFC championship in the Super Bowl week A team. First of all, let me just let me just say I will be at the game this week in l A. Of course I will be rolling deep. But we k a teen if you recall, I think it was Ers fans at Sophie Stadium, so we might have back to back home games we're facing in the Super Bowl, so

just be careful. And they've Ticketmaster lifted the ban of only selling to people in the l A area, so now it's back open everyone, So see your red coming. Despite Kelly Stafford's please, she said, Rams fans, don't sell your tickets, you away fans, And you know what, good for her? That's ah. I would do that too if i'm if I'm QB one's wife and you've got to pull your weight right she has a huge following. I do that too. Joe Joe Staley came out and said

the opposite. He said, l A fans selling to me, I'll give you cash. So you got a little bit of a war here. But it's gonna be a good game. It's not going to be you know, I know they're I think Owen six the Rams against Shanahan with me with McVeigh, it's gonna be a close game. I could see it coming down to the water like we K team did. But they're gonna be two exciting games for sure. Okay, I've got one more question that the people really want to know. A K. My sister and I when we

are watching the forty nine is Packers game. Who is Jimmy G dating? Because I think there's a rumor it's a porn star, a former porn star, and we try to do our best on Google. But I figured you would know this. It definitely was who he was dating was a porn star. I forget her name, but it's probably a good thing. I don't remember her name. Let me just check my Internet hold on you know her stag name. But if you're a good looking at Jimmy G, I imagine you have multiple girls and girlfriends, So I

think he's a right Okay, thanks for settling that. Just like O HD's got multiple teams. Yeah, he's got multiple girls. Al Right, guys, that's fine.

Here it is lost again. Here's the outro Jannas wrote for me.

I haven't laid eyes on it, but again, Mom, if you're listening, to switch it off. Thanks for listening. Guys. As per usual, it's me O h D. The sports journalist Georgia Peach and part time R and B singer with my extensive football and sports pedigree. Here I am again losing to a comedian who just wings it. What has losing this season to Yanni meant so much? What? What has losing this season to Yanni so much taught me? Nothing? Except life isn't fair. Also when it comes to betting

its sports, listen to your heart and not the experts. Anyhow, I gotta wrap this up and prepare to root for my other team, the Chiefs. That's right, I have two teams. I root four the Packers in the Chiefs. It always helps to have two favorite teams just in case one doesn't make it. Life isn't fair, so it's always good to have a backup team. So HD in amount to root for my team that is still in it, because when you are a privileged woman from a famous family

like me, we never lose. Good luck out there, losers. Thanks for listening, everybody. I am so pumped for this. I gotta say that was one of the cleaner ones here. Britt, Yeah, that was clean one. I didn't have a lot of talk, all right, everyone, thanks for listening. We'll see you next week.
