Let me ask you one question.

SPEAKER_00: 0:06

The North Florida sports Florida sports Florida North Florida Sportings Network Networks Flip You gotta give us a shot!

SPEAKER_03: 0:21

You know what you the North Florida Sports Networks it is just another football Monday and only one left as we have a Super Bowl between the Patriots and the Seahawks. Yeah. In a blizzard in Denver, the Pats were able to win 10 to 7. Sean Payton decided not to kick a field goal.

SPEAKER_02: 0:57

Right. Super smart analytical move there, you know. You always go for it, right? It's too early to think about possessions, man. It's funny that they dinosaur way of thinking.

SPEAKER_03: 1:07

Losing that game 10 to 7. Of course he did. Numbers don't factor in that you're playing with the potato headed quarterback. Xavier Smith is muffed the punt in the third quarter of the NFC Championship game, giving Seattle the ball back and allowing them to get up 24 to 13, which proved to be too much.

SPEAKER_02: 1:36

Second of two muffs. First one he recovered on his own. He was replaced by Kyrie Williams.

SPEAKER_03: 1:41

The final score was 31-27. That's pretty much the difference.

SPEAKER_02: 1:47

Oh, it is.

SPEAKER_03: 1:48

Yep.

SPEAKER_02: 1:50

Once again, special teams bite the Rams. Rams in the wing.

SPEAKER_03: 1:53

I think we're the best team offensively and defensively all year. Maybe when overall, but the special teams throughout the year, the kick against the Eagles, the punt, the muff, it just ends up biting them in the ass at the end. And the Seahawks will move on. They're the heavy favorites. They're five-point favorites in the Super Bowl in San Francisco. Santa Clara. I'm not Santa Clara, yeah. I'm not really looking forward to it. No, I probably won't watch. I don't care. Yeah. I was rooting for the Rams. That was my pick. And now they're out. Just a tough game to lose that way. But it ended up being a good game. That was the difference. That's what we said. If uh whoever makes the turnover or the stupid play. Critical error reverse. That's a critical error. You went from with the ball with a chance to take the lead to down 11. Mm-hmm. Ugh. Can't overcome that. Nope. Hell no. And I've never seen Snow come that hard in a game in the AFC Championship. Yeah. It was, so why not take the points? And then it was pretty much halfway through the third quarter. It was like nobody's scoring. So just run, like, just take a knee. There was one play where they literally threw the ball out of bounds. Yeah. Like just throw it out of bounds. Just throw it out of bounds. Yeah. Doesn't matter. Yeah, just don't screw it up. Because nobody can score, nobody can kick, nobody can throw. And the Patriots survive 10 to 7.

SPEAKER_02: 3:39

Right. Sean Payton robbed us of being able to watch like three overtimes in that game. Yeah, that would have been crazy.

SPEAKER_03: 3:46

That game's 10 to 10. How long does that game last? Forever. Well, Xavier, it was fun, but you're probably gonna be Xavier Smith. You are fired. Oh yeah, yeah. That's right.

SPEAKER_02: 4:06

You're out of here. Sit 'em. Stid 'em? They're gonna keep you?

SPEAKER_03: 4:12

You're out of here. Big fumble in the first half there. Yeah. He tried to pitch it or something. Right.

unknown: 4:19

Right.

SPEAKER_03: 4:20

That was a good one.

SPEAKER_02: 4:21

But let's let's go back here now. It's only seven to nothing at that point. Yeah. Could have been ten to nothing. Are you calling a screenplay when you're up two possessions and it's almost halftime? It wasn't over a yard.

SPEAKER_03: 4:33

And then he and then they were all over the play.

SPEAKER_02: 4:36

It was just not only did you decide to go for it, but you called the worst possible play imaginable.

SPEAKER_03: 4:44

Slow developing.

SPEAKER_02: 4:45

Slow developing to Mike McGlenchy's side of the field. You gotta know.

SPEAKER_03: 4:51

You gotta know better, man.

SPEAKER_02: 4:53

You gotta know. Just gotta know.

SPEAKER_03: 4:57

But yeah. We got all the NFL coaching vacancies are still going around.

SPEAKER_02: 5:03

Yeah. See who's hired. Who's hired at this point? Well the Packers are hiring Jonathan Gannon as the coordinator. Steelers are hiring Yinzer Hall of Famer Mike McCarthy's. That's hilarious.

SPEAKER_03: 5:21

Um, Webb interviewing with the Bills and the Raiders.

SPEAKER_02: 5:26

The Steelers hiring Mike McCarthy.

SPEAKER_03: 5:28

Oh boy, nobody wanted to go to that job.

SPEAKER_02: 5:36

I think that's pretty on point. No, no. In fact, uh Brian Flores and Anthony Weaver were the two that didn't get the job in Pittsburgh and gave it to McCarthy instead. Because you know why not? He's done so he's done so great when he doesn't have a good quarterback. You know, like when Dak got hurt.

SPEAKER_03: 6:01

I don't know what the hell they're Aaron Rodgers. What are they gonna that that team looks like it's about to go and uh trash.

SPEAKER_02: 6:10

That that seems like a hire because they think they're getting Rogers back. Why is Philip Rivers getting an interview? Um, I don't know, but for the first time in his life he pulls out. Oh running. He excused himself.

SPEAKER_03: 6:26

Oh yeah, you're not gonna hear that.

Probably shouldn't even get credit for that.

SPEAKER_03: 7:46

SPEAKER_03: 8:24

But you know what? It's gonna be a loss.

SPEAKER_02: 8:26
