It's the Boomer and Geo podcast from WFAN. Hi, Boomer and Geo coming to you live from the Build Forward Tough studio on the fan and CBS Sports Network. Red Pocket Mobile fan line brought to you by your new ultimate cell carrier, Red Pocket Mobile. 888-808-1019, Monday after Super Bowl 60. It was one of the least entertaining, least fun, no action nights I have experienced when it comes to a Super Bowl. And I'm not going to be... Someone who's going to go over the top. This is the worst thing I ever saw. Really, I mean, it wasn't the worst thing I ever saw. The halftime show certainly wasn't the worst thing I ever saw. It wasn't for me, but people seemed to like it. It just wasn't entertaining. Boring.
The NFL can get away with this stuff, and we're going to be back. In the Super Bowl, I tried to explain to... I really try to set an example of, like, don't hate things. Don't really dislike things to my daughters. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But the Super Bowl, Sabrina's like, you don't seem like you're into the Super Bowl, Daddy. And I'm like, I'm really not. I got to tell you.
Why did the Super Bowl feel 'dead' to some attendees?
I have to watch it, but it stinks. Championship weekend and the divisional playoff weekend and wild card weekend. I love it. I absolutely love it. The Super Bowl stinks. And if it's a great game, that's awesome. But when it's a bad game with a halftime show of an artist that you don't know and you've got a million commercials and everything else that goes to 1030 at night and you've got to wake up at 3 o'clock in the morning and it's minus 11 degrees, it's just not entertaining. It's not good. You know what it is? If the AFC team were the Bengals, the Bills... A team that's never won it? Well, the Chiefs, though. With recognizable names that are superstars going against that defense, then you might really would have had a little bit more interest.
I had a couple friends that did actually go to the Super Bowl. They said it was dead. They felt like San Francisco wasn't a great host. It wasn't vibrant. I was there 10 years ago. I was talking to Al. I was too, by the way. I was there with Brian Jones. That's right. So I was talking to Al. I felt like San Francisco at that time was starting to turn negative, but I still felt like the downtown was vibrant. I felt like the restaurants were packed. I felt people were like, remember how we went out to that place where it was just meat? What was that restaurant?
Yeah, it was like Prime Rib.
Yeah, it was like Prime or something.
Yeah, some sort of Prime Rib special.
And it was just meat. And what was the issue about the dinner that night? Did you have an issue? Somebody had an issue.
No, it was a large table. It was very anxiety-inducing. And Chris Sims bailed. Chris Sims, that's what it was. And I was like, oh, now I can't bail. But what a great move that was on his part.
Yes, yes. Well, he was, you know. But anyway, but they were saying that San Francisco is like a dead place. So they should have the Super Bowl in Arizona. Miami, and I'll throw a New Orleans in there every now and again. And that's it. Maybe Dallas, but Dallas you can still get kind of wonky weather. Vegas, man. You've got to throw Vegas in there. Vegas in there as well. I'll tell you, if I'm the NFL Players Association, I am saying we're never going back to California. This is ridiculous. The taxes are ridiculous. Well, unfortunately, they're going back there next year, aren't they?
Yeah, they are.
But it's ridiculous. Yeah. Now, you know what's interesting? When I was reading about all these contracts and things, the way they write the contracts, a lot of times the head coaches will have what they call a gross-up number so they don't have to pay those taxes. In other words, the teams kind of pay it for them. Okay. You know, which is really interesting. But, you know, somehow, some way the Dodgers have found out a way around a lot of this. Well, they have the richest and sharpest finance people in the country running the team as a consortium. So they figured it out. That's not somehow. I mean, you get the greatest scientist in the room and it builds you a rocket, right?
