What happens when a lawyer, an engineer, and a school superintendent walk into a podcast studio to talk about football? You get a spirited chat that's as varied as their professions! We kick things off by celebrating the Kansas City Chiefs' unexpected defeat, with a special nod to Bengals fans who might be quietly cheering. Our discussion covers everything from questioning contentious referee calls to applauding Jalen Hurts' inspiring journey through college football. We throw in a bit of trivia about Darian Kinnard's impressive Super Bowl streak, and even share our personal wagers, adding a playful touch to our analysis of the game.
Shifting gears from the field to the screen, we dissect the Super Bowl commercials and musical performances, where creative liberties taken by artists like Jean-Baptiste and Lauren Daigle sparked a range of reactions from us. The commercials themselves were a mixed bag of hits and misses. Ben Affleck's Dunkin' Donuts ad was a crowd-pleaser, while T-Mobile's Starlink spot left us scratching our heads. We also ponder the ever-growing entertainment spectacle of the Super Bowl, speculating whether it overshadows the game itself or fuels the excitement.
The halftime show doesn't escape our scrutiny either. With Kendrick Lamar taking center stage, opinions fly about the performance's pace and message. We reminisce about memorable past performances and debate the direction of future halftime shows. The episode rounds off with a light-hearted debate about the color of the Gatorade used in the game, wrapping up with reflections on how sports, entertainment, and societal messages intersect in these larger-than-life events.
three guys around the table and by three guys.
Speaker 3We're talking about three friends a lawyer, an engineer and a school superintendent and just like our personalities, our opinions vary and we certainly don't always agree. Whether we're discussing the best of or giving our tips and tricks of, things in everyday life, you're sure to learn something if you stick around.
Speaker 2Post-Super Bowl three guys around the table Yeet, yeet, yeet While, yeet, while. Where, what? What are we doing right now? We are watching Monday Night Raw.
Speaker 1The day after the Super Bowl, because that's what you do, that's right. Do you drink your 7-Up?
Speaker 3Zero sugar.
Speaker 1Look now seriously, super Bowl. Did you really care about the outcome of the game?
Speaker 2Well, I did in one regard I hate the Chiefs, hate.
Speaker 3Are we talking like Milky Ways?
Speaker 2It might be worse.
Speaker 3Oh whoa.
Speaker 1It might be worse. Wow, yes.
Speaker 2We reached a whole new level, so I really, really, really enjoyed that last night.
Speaker 1I mean, it was a complete annihilation.
Speaker 2Why do you hate the Chiefs?
Speaker 1Because I'm a Bengals fan. I'm sorry. I'm sorry, I don't understand. You're tired of getting beat by them.
Speaker 2Yeah, I'm sorry, I don't understand the question I have Chiefs fatigue and I think that you know, I'll be honest with you, I don't like the whole. You know whatever. Patrick Mahomes has become Kermit the Frog here. He even did it once last night in the Super Bowl, where he tries to draw a penalty by slowing down when he's going to slide and playing up to the refs. He got destroyed last night.
Speaker 3What did you guys think? The very first penalty call of the game was offensive pass interference versus the Eagles and you didn't even barely touch the guy. Yeah, I was like the fix is in baby.
Speaker 2The commentators kept saying there's nothing to call that. This is ridiculous. Yeah, I mean, even when Tom Brady even is like, oh, come on really.
Speaker 3You know it's pretty bad. Yeah, it was awful. I didn't care about who won or lost, but I have to admit that I think I was secretly pulling for the Eagles because, number one, I didn't want to see the Chiefs go for the three in a row. And, number one, I didn't want to see the Chiefs go for the three in a row Right, although Pat Riley was hoping they were, because he's the one that owns the right to the name three. Yeah, but I was glad to see the Chiefs get beat just because of I've seen some of the calls and yeah, but I genuinely think Andy Reid would be an awesome dude to hang out with.
Speaker 2Oh yeah.
Speaker 1He seems like a cool guy.
Speaker 2Like a grandpa type thing. I have zero issue with him. Oh, he's cool, I'm the walrus.
Speaker 3And I want to think that.
Speaker 1I'm the walrus. That's good.
Speaker 3I want to believe, I really want to believe that Patrick Mahomes is a nice guy. I think he says the right things when he speaks. He's a phony piece of garbage. See, I'm hoping he's a nice guy, but then it goes downhill from there.
Speaker 1You know what Papa said right Hope in one hand.
Speaker 3I agree, but at the end of the day I think it's pretty cool that Jalen Hurts got sat during the championship game for Alabama and then transferred to Oklahoma. Oklahoma, but Hurts sat during the championship game for Alabama.
Speaker 2Yeah, and then transferred to what Oklahoma Yep.
Speaker 1But, I have the Hurts is legit. I mean look. He is, and there's no stopping the tush push, oh yeah, oh.
Speaker 2It's not going to be outlawed, yeah.
Speaker 3It's called the. They call it something else. Now I have a fun fact?
Speaker 1Oh, there and there's. I have a fun fact. Oh, they're no stopping.
Speaker 3Okay, there was a player in last night's game I think I sent this to you guys A player in last night's game that has won three Super.
Speaker 1Bowls in a row. I sent it to you guys.
Speaker 3UK's own, darian Kennard, played for the Chiefs the prior two seasons and the Eagles this season. He now has as many rings as Patrick Mahomes.
Speaker 1He's been in the league three years. Wow, patrick Mahomes, he's been in the league three years.
Speaker 3Wow, three Super Bowls. Yep Williams, darian Kennard that's pretty wild.
Speaker 2Yeah, that's pretty cool. So yeah, as far as the game goes, super glad that the Chiefs got beat.
Speaker 3Good for Philadelphia and really the score doesn't reflect that game, if you think about it no. No it wasn't close Because that one 50-yard pass that gave them another touchdown. They went for two afterwards. Take eight points off of that Garbage time.
Speaker 2I mean it was 14 to 40. They had two garbage time touchdowns. Do you know what the Chiefs were last night Anti-yeet. Anti-yeet. So they'd be this right? No, they'd be going up not down, or maybe it's their feet going up.
Speaker 3That's true. Now, how mad is Vegas. Today, though, I'd say most of the money went to Kansas City, didn't?
Speaker 1it. Vegas is ecstatic, then they're not mad. Oh yeah, if everybody better achieves. Yeah, it's just crazy, so everyone though and the bet that I won is I took the over. It was 46 and a half I took the over. That was a pretty simple score.
Speaker 2Did anyone do any prop bets, like how long the national anthem will be? I did not.
Speaker 1I think betting on the Super Bowl is like betting on Kentucky Derby race day. I don't do it, because you never know what's going to happen.
Super Bowl Commercial Review
Speaker 2Well, let's comment Too many fixes out there too. Let's comment on the really important things. First of all, the national anthem. First of all the cover of the Gatorade the National Anthem first of all National Anthem.
Speaker 1I can't remember that, jean-baptiste, jean-baptiste I actually thought it was really good.
Speaker 2I'll be honest.
Speaker 3I thought that musically yeah, I have no problems. And there was a bunch of people online throwing a fit about it because of the liberties that he took.
Speaker 2He extended it at the end and added but I have to be honest with you.
Speaker 3I thought it was fine, it was fine, it was fine. What did?
Speaker 1you think about the song before that?
Speaker 2America the Beautiful, oh that one.
Speaker 3Lauren Diego's real good.
Speaker 2Okay.
Speaker 3I had a problem with the song before that she's real good Well it's.
Speaker 1I didn't think her song at the Super Bowl was great, but she's really good.
Speaker 2Yeah, yeah, they had. I mean Carrie, you know my wife, she looks over when they were doing that pregame music show and they had the stage on the field and everything. And she's like, do they do pregame now in addition to halftime? I was like, yeah, I don't know, I guess I mean I get it, it's a spectacle.
Speaker 1I didn't like the song prior to America the Beautiful, it's not really a football game anymore. Yeah, it's not. People care more about the things that go along with the football game more than the game itself.
Speaker 3Are we ignoring my comment over here?
Speaker 1I don't know who you're talking about the Lift Every Voice song.
Speaker 3they sing the Lady in the Yellow With the choir behind her.
Speaker 2I hadn't turned it on at that point. Yeah, I don't know that song.
Speaker 3To me it's a song. If you don't know about it, you can research it. To me, I don't know why it's played. It's a.
Speaker 2To me it's a divisional song and we're all singing for the national anthem and it should leave it at that I didn't see it yeah, I uh, I hadn't turned it on at that point, but that that's, that's, that's why they get striggets because I hadn't turned it on I was. I was busy making taco cups and wonton wrappers. I like that.
Speaker 1I didn't get any of those. They were good. Did you get any of those? They're in the fridge. National Anthem.
Speaker 2Do we want to even comment on the commercials? Did you have a favorite?
Speaker 3There was only one or two that stood out.
Speaker 1The one that I remember well is the Dunkin' Donuts with Ben Affleck.
Speaker 3And it wasn't funny this year, though.
Speaker 1It wasn't funny, but it stood out.
Speaker 3Yeah, it had Jay and Silent Bob in it, which it did stand out. I thought the Budweiser one was pretty good this year with the small horse rowing the barrel the keg.
Speaker 2I saw someone posted about that today and said isn't it really true, though, that by the time that keg got to the, wouldn't that just be pure foam? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3Overall, I think the commercials were really down. Oh, I did like the one, the Jeep commercial with Harrison Ford.
Speaker 2You like that.
Speaker 3I like the meaning behind it and of course it's funny.
Speaker 2He kind of bashed Ford he goes, even though my name is Ford I thought that was.
Speaker 3I don't know.
Speaker 2Let me throw a couple out there and see what you thought of them. What about the one with Eugene Levy's eyebrows? Yes, did you?
Speaker 1see that one. Yeah, I did.
Speaker 3Honestly, I don't remember what it was for, so it didn't have an impact.
Speaker 2I do remember the Pringles cans with the eyebrows, the mustaches yeah, oh, the mustaches but I don't remember even what Eugene Levy's commercial was for. That's a good question. I can't remember.
Speaker 3I think it was Little Caesars, maybe, or something, I don't know. They missed the beat, though I I can't remember.
Speaker 2I did remember that, but I didn't remember the product. That's an issue. Yeah, that's a problem. Some of them I just didn't get, some of them were just, you know, weird.
Speaker 3Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson were in a bunch together.
Speaker 2Oh, what about when Harry Met Sally thing? Oh yeah.
Speaker 1That's a remake.
Speaker 2Didn't they do?
Speaker 3that last year or the year before. No, that was actually in the movie. I understand, but I haven't seen that. I understand it was a movie.
Speaker 1I get it. I don't think it's the first time they ever did it. I understand, but I think they had a different commercial a year or two ago, I don't know.
Speaker 3Similar to that, similar Meg Ryan, and Okay what? What's his name? What's his name?
Speaker 2Billy Crystal, billy Crystal, there we go. You don't look marvelous. What the what I'm going to throw out? One I actually liked All right, I liked Willem Dafoe and Catherine O'Hara doing the play you for a Michelob Ultra pickleball hustlers.
Speaker 3I thought that was pretty funny, I guess I didn't see that one.
Speaker 1Pickleball's picked up the pace so that appeals to a lot of people.
Speaker 2I am going to make a prediction. I think pickleball will be the next sport that the Kentucky High School Athletic Association sanctions as an official high school sport.
Speaker 3I could get that. Yeah. How about commercials we didn't like? All right, I'm just asking you guys Is there any that stick out to you?
Speaker 2Let's see.
Speaker 1I didn't understand the T-Mobile.
Speaker 2Starlink commercial. I'm trying to even remember that. I don't remember that one either.
Speaker 1So basically, elon Musk has Starlink and now they're saying that you can try it out, even if you're on.
Speaker 2T-Mobile or if you're on AT&T or Verizon and it's free to June or July.
Speaker 1But it was too complex to be put in a 30-second commercial.
Speaker 3I didn't like the flag football one the flag football with the girls because it seems like they were playing male versus female in it. This female is better than this male. I don't know why they have to do that. Seems like they were. They were playing male versus female in it.
Speaker 2You know, female, this female is better than this male and this and I don't know why they have to do that.
Speaker 3I mean again, I don't know what the big division is. I don't.
Speaker 2That's going to be my statement you are just all about inclusivity and unity that's, that's what I think, man. I'm just tired of the division. Chris is the unifier, right.
Speaker 1I like it uh, you're trying to just bring people together.
Speaker 3Yeah, I just want to bring people together. There's nothing wrong with that. Just bring them together, boys.
Speaker 2So what about the halftime show?
Speaker 1I think this is where the three of us will have a little bit of a disagreement. All right, all right.
Speaker 2Go ahead and tell me I'll go.
Speaker 1I think you two will be on one side and I'll kind of be on the other.
Speaker 2I'll go last. I'll go first and I'll be glad to say I don't think it was the appropriate venue for Kendrick Lamar Now. He could walk in my house right now and I wouldn't know who he is, right, okay?
Speaker 1And.
Speaker 2I don't know his music, but that fast-talking rap with no, which is what he's known for, yeah, okay, and he had all these hidden messages in it, supposedly. And if you're not a fan of his, you have no idea what's going on.
Speaker 2I couldn't understand anything he said. I couldn't understand what the messages were. I don't know why Serena Williams is out there dancing. What is this? So two minutes in, I was like and maybe I'm showing my age there, but I'm going to compare it. If you're saying I'm going to attack the, if I'm attacking the genre of rap, I'm not Go back to Dr Dre and Snoop Dogg.
Speaker 1It was unbelievable.
Speaker 2It was a fantastic, entertaining performance. I did not like this. I thought it was the worst halftime show I've seen since 1989. Do you know what that one was? You'll have to go and Google that one.
Speaker 3I actually have a list pulled up here of all of them.
Speaker 2That was the Super Bowl the Bengals and the 49ers, your 49ers, my Bengals, and after the 1988 season. So it was January 25th of 1989, and it was the strangest halftime. It was no famous people, it was like I can't remember, even Google it and find it oh, I pulled it up.
Speaker 3Yeah, yeah, I had this pulled up and I lost it. Alright, you said 89. Yep, 1989 was Yep. Be-bop-ba-doozled yes, featuring 3D effects. Be-bop-ba-doozled what? Yes, well, they used to have a theme. All these used to have a theme Be-bop-ba-doozled. Here you go, listen to this. So it was always some band you know, back to the original Super Bowls Florida A&M band, the Florida A&M. They brought in Carol Channing in 1970. Happiness is with the University of Michigan Marching Band and Woody Herman in 73.
Speaker 2Texas Band.
Speaker 3Take it back. That was the worst one, all right. 20 Years of a Baby Tribute to America's Bicentennial.
Speaker 1Are you just listing them all? No, no, I'm going to tell you when they got into headliners when they got into headliners in 88. It wasn't 89 with Bebop, bebop, bedouin.
Speaker 3In 88 is the first time they had a headliner and it was the Rockettes with Chubby Checker. Chubby Checker was legit.
Speaker 1Come on now. Chubby Checker was legit when he got down with the Fat Boys he was the man.
Speaker 3This was 1990. Salute to New Orleans and the 40th anniversary of Peanuts. Characters featuring trumpeter Pete Fountain, doug Kershaw and Irma Thomas oh, irma.
Speaker 2Thomas, now, now, look, here's my take on it Hang on.
Speaker 3can I jump in before you do? Sure, Because you said we're going to be together. I don't think me and you will be together.
Speaker 1No, no, I'm talking about. You said Kopp, and I will yeah.
Speaker 3I think you and Mark will be together. So I do like Kendrick Lamar. I do think he is very, very talented. I think he won a.
Speaker 2Pulitzer Prize for poetry.
Speaker 3I think he's very talented.
Speaker 2I didn't say he wasn't talented. I said this was not the correct venue.
Speaker 3I like his music and for me, I watched the entire Super Bowl for entertainment. I'm not an NFL guy. I normally don't care who wins, I normally don't care who's even in the Super Bowl because I don't care for the NFL, but I watch it for entertainment. I watch the game for entertainment. I watch the commercials for entertainment. I watch the halftime show for entertainment. I I watched the game for entertainment. I watched the commercials for entertainment. I watched the halftime show for entertainment. I want to be entertained. Did I like the music? I did. I liked the music. I liked the dancing. There's been a lot of talk about his diss track with Drake. I can't remember the name of it, greg, what's the name of it? Anyhow, his diss track with Drake. I can't remember the name of it, greg, what's the name?
Speaker 2of it I don't know.
Speaker 3And he has a diss track with Drake and that's the reason he brought Serena Williams that's just Drake's ex-girlfriend, and he even called Drake by name and all that stuff. If that had not been a hit song the diss track and it was the number one song then I would have said it was inappropriate to have. But he put it into his um show because it was a hit for him. The other songs he played were hits which I'm cool with and I I didn't catch the symbolism and the underlying things with Samuel L Jackson, his uncle Sam. I didn't catch the't catch the lyrics he was saying because I was trying to listen to it as just entertainment, right. So then you start seeing all this about it, so I obviously get online. I'm starting to read about it. Little did I realize it was a political protest of the powerful and the weak, and the rich and the poor and the black and the white, and it was a divisional performance that I think had no place in this time and the place in the world to be at the Super Bowl.
Speaker 3So you know everybody's saying well, it's a generational thing, You're too old, you don't get it, and I saw that a thousand times on Twitter or whatever.
Speaker 1And.
Speaker 3I think that's accurate. But here's the thing you know we go back to the Dr Dre. You know the who played it one time, you know, and not everybody's going to like the who. I like the who but not everybody's going to like that. That's more something that I like. That's more something that I like. The problem you run into with that is not everybody's going to like it, and I understand. You know I'm an old man now and you know the rap thing is fine, I like rap.
Speaker 3I don't have a problem with it. But what I have a problem with is it? After everything I've read and if it's all true, you know it's on the internet, right? So it's got to be true but he did come out and say some stuff afterwards that it was all a setup to make a political statement.
Speaker 1See, I'm typically against political statements in that venue.
Speaker 3I am 100% against it.
Speaker 1If that's what it was I haven't read anything on it today, but I think that it was a performance for people that are not our age Correct, and I don't think they're trying to make it for our age.
Speaker 2I agree with that.
Speaker 1I think they're trying to make it for my boy's age and Logan's age and Ava's age and I mean, you know, this Reagan's walk-up song was all Kendrick Lamar Right, and I think that's who they were going for and not for us. 40, 50, and something age.
Speaker 2Uh-huh, I would agree with all of that. Yeah, absolutely, and you know I get all that. What we're used to seeing at the Super Bowl is some semblance of you know, going back to hitting some nostalgic little bits.
Speaker 1Absolutely. He had an old car.
Speaker 3You know what that was. That was a Grand National too.
Speaker 1I mean, how many people got out of that thing? Yeah, that's what we were asking. All right, what do you think?
Speaker 2Oh, yeah, that's what we were asking all right, what do you think? That's nice? Yeah, yeah, so, um, so, yeah, um, I would.
Speaker 1I would agree with all that, but overall, I don't give the super bowl overall a high grade.
Speaker 2Nope, I thought it was uh not good. And yet you know the the stat that they played before the Super Bowl, when they talked about in year one, when they first did it, how much a ticket cost, how much advertising cost $5 a ticket, it's just unbelievable right, let me ask you this $40,000 for the 32nd.
Speaker 1What did you think about? There was a hoopla on this today. I did see this online About Fox's score.
Speaker 2Oh, it was great.
Speaker 1The bottom of the screen.
Speaker 2I had nothing. I thought it was clean. I didn't have anything against it really.
Speaker 3Me either, but that's because we're old yeah yeah, so let's go back to the halftime show.
Speaker 1Oh, I thought we were done.
Speaker 3Nah, so I agree with what you say, as far as it was not. We're not the audience for that halftime show, but my question is out of the 37.5 million people who watched it, I'd like to find out what they think the average age of watching that is. That's number one. Number two I know that we're at that point in our lives where you're not going to have when you look forward to the colonoscopy You're not going to have, you're not going to have Journey come out and play the Super Bowl anymore, but again the Dr Dre and all that.
Speaker 3Everybody loved that. Yep, and that was cool.
Speaker 1It's because Snoop Dogg's still down.
Speaker 2It's because it was entertaining. They hit a lot of nostalgic bits. The music was still relevant, regardless of it wasn't just some really narrow, specific genre.
Speaker 3And then I go back to several years ago, when Prince did it Right. Yeah, amazing, the greatest one of all time.
Speaker 2So when Prince did it right, yeah, amazing, the greatest one of all time.
Speaker 3So when Prince did it, it was all relevant, it was everybody liked it and it was entertainment, right? Yep, the who in 2010 was a little on the old side, but go back to like 2011. You had the Black Eyed Peas with Usher and Slash. Yeah, I remember that one and that kind of hits all people right. Even when you had Bruno Mars, you hit him with the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
Speaker 1That was a terrible window.
Speaker 2It was terrible.
Speaker 3But you had Coldplay and Beyonce. You've got to say about Bruno Mars though that dude is talented, he's talented, he's super talented, but anyhow, you see how they have it mixed up, trying to, even when they had Usher last year with Jermaine Dupri.
Speaker 1They had SZA last night.
Speaker 3William, lil Jon and Luda Luda. You know I think they went to me. It was, I don't know, sza. Here's the thing. I don't know how big Kendrick Lamar is in the world of music but and I'm sure people will be complaining if they had George straight come out and sing for 20 minutes because some of the crowd wouldn't like it. I go back to, I understand, but I would bet anything that next year it will not be somebody like Kendrick Lamar and the halftime show. Do you guys want to agree with that? I think they're getting so much feedback, so much blowback on it.
Speaker 2So it's not going to be Drake. Yeah, no kidding.
Speaker 3So, are you saying it's not going to be a rapper? No, no, no, no, I didn't say that.
Speaker 1I'm trying to figure out what you mean by like Kendrick Lamar, I think it will be more universal.
Speaker 3I could see Snoop or somebody like that.
Speaker 1More generally. More generally.
Speaker 3Yeah.
Speaker 1I definitely think that's what it'll be.
Speaker 3Yeah. So again I question why they went for this time. They went so far down that path. But again I go back to the overtones of the message and all that behind it. It's just and nobody's denying it. I mean, that's the thing, it's all out there, of the whole meanings behind all this stuff and I think that it's not the time nor the place.
Speaker 2There have been numerous instances of messages sent during the halftime show throughout the years, but most of the time, to your point, they have been unifying messages.
Speaker 3This one was not, you know.
Speaker 1look when it was Justin Timberlake and Janet Jackson, that was a unifying message. We were all unified.
Speaker 3I got behind that one Look accidents happen, man.
Speaker 2Hey, when right after September 11th, u2 performed at the Super Bowl and they ran the names of all the victims, and you know that was a unifying moment for the, for the country, and you know. So I don't necessarily mind messages political divisional messages. I know I'm not saying that. I'm saying I think that, again, that's a time for all of us to come together. If you watched all of the Super Bowl commercials, they had several that talked about that. It's time for all of us to come together.
Speaker 3I hate you. I hate that we have to make this commercial because we're so divided.
Speaker 2The one with Snoop and Tom Brady, exactly. And then there's a divisive performance, which I see where you're going with that. So outside of the Super Bowl, what else?
Speaker 3is going on, boys. I didn't expect yellow Gatorade. I'm just saying I was taken back by that. I was expecting red.
Speaker 1I don't think they make a yellow Gatorade.
Speaker 3It's lemon lime.
Speaker 2It's the yellow green one. I call it green. I think that's green. I call that green Gatorade but that's just me.
Speaker 1And it's my favorite.
Speaker 3That's green. Really, that's yellow. Do you like the lemon lime best? Oh yeah, not close, I'm an orange guy.
Speaker 2You know what I kind of like that white one, the white one's good, the frosted cherry, the frosted cherry yeah, that's good, I agree.
Speaker 3Oh, I thought I was going traditional colors. I didn't know we were going to go down the blue ice and all that.
Speaker 1But look, I saw a thing on Twitter and it's right, it's never frosted cherry, it's the white Gatorade.
Speaker 3Exactly, and'll get the purple one.
Speaker 2You know, like I said, we're watching a spot right now. That did you see that?
Speaker 1Yeah it was bad. So we got to talk about Ryan Day's contract. Yep, oh lifetime contract.
Speaker 2As I stated to you all in a text message, you all need to start praying to Ryan Day, like I do.
Speaker 1Let me ask you a question. Here's the thing Lifetime.
Speaker 2I mean $12.5 million, Second highest paid.
Speaker 1Do you have an offensive coordinator? Yeah, we do. Who is it? Brian Hartline, that's good.
Speaker 2They did promote him, they did. We got his brother back.
Speaker 1That's good. Quick before we go into that I have a question. Go ahead, go ahead.
Speaker 3How did you feel after the UK football commercial at the Super Bowl Did?
Speaker 1you see it Terrible. I thought it was terrible, I feel worse about it. The season and the team before I saw the commercial. It was terrible. It was terrible. Okay, all right, go ahead. Who's happier about Ryan Day's contract? Ohio State fans or Michigan fans?
Speaker 2I would say there's a legitimate argument. Oh boy, I would say there's a legitimate argument there.
Speaker 1I'm happy. Tell me he deserves it. It's okay, he deserves $12.5 million.
Speaker 2The natty can make you forgive some things.
Speaker 3We forgot everything, yeah.
Speaker 2Yeah, I'm down with that. What else is?
Speaker 1going on. Pitchers and catchers reported who yes Cricket, is it cricket season? It's baseball season. What?
Speaker 3about the Reds? What, essentially, with their jerseys Wearing a number 14. I got to get me one of those jerseys.
Speaker 1Now, is that how many games they're going to be back by the All-Star break?
