Transcription

Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?

0.166 - 20.301 Jeff O'Neill

Our two-over drive continues, powered by FanDuel, bringing you everything from the opening line to the final score. Brian Hayes, your dog Jeff O'Neill, Jamie Noodles, McLennan. We've got something to chew on coming up here in just a moment. We've got Luke Wilson, who will join us as well, get his take on his Seattle Seahawks returning to the Super Bowl.

20.467 - 34.047 Jeff O'Neill

The New England Patriots getting back to the Super Bowl. And we're off to San Fran a week tomorrow. Yes. We're on our way to San Francisco a week tomorrow. We're doing shows live from San Fran.

0

34.468 - 35.89 Unknown

Right from the Golden Gate Bridge.

0

36.291 - 37.192 Jeff O'Neill

Right on there.

0

37.212 - 39.515 Unknown

On the Golden Gate Bridge. On the bridge.

Chapter 2: What insights does Luke Willson share about the Seahawks' Super Bowl return?

39.536 - 43.201 Jeff O'Neill

On the couch. On the couch on the Golden Gate Bridge.

0

43.542 - 47.908 Unknown

Dude, are you sure that that was just like an area thing?

0

48.209 - 60.496 Jeff O'Neill

I don't know the full setup. Obviously, I haven't been there. Our friends at FanDuel are going to dial us up, and we're going to be in, I think, probably the best studio going on Radio Row. But I cannot guarantee your noodles.

Chapter 3: How do the Seahawks and Patriots match up for the Super Bowl?

60.516 - 66.433 Jeff O'Neill

You missed it last week. It might be a loungy couch. It might be a round table.

0

66.733 - 68.055 Unknown

I saw pictures of it.

0

68.536 - 68.796 Jeff O'Neill

Right.

0

68.816 - 72.901 Unknown

Because I think Mrs. Grappler sent the pictures in an email, correct?

0

72.961 - 73.282 Jeff O'Neill

Yes.

73.602 - 80.231 Unknown

And I looked at it. It looked unbelievable. But are you guys couch guys or what?

80.331 - 84.977 Jeff O'Neill

Well, our mutual friend here is a little concerned of the couch angle.

85.077 - 116.978 Unknown

Camera angles or what? Well, dude, I... My jean size is 30. I'm afraid of my legs, first of all, dangling off the couch, like not even touching the ground. Your inseam is short pants. Okay. Short pants, guys. Long torso. And then it's just like you're sitting there and your neck's like bulging and you're boiling. It's just, I don't know. I told Hayes last week, I'm going to sit behind the couch.

116.958 - 123.724 Unknown

Treat it like it's your desk. Like a character on Mr. Dress-Up. Like, I'll just be a puppet back there. It'll be my head.

Chapter 4: What impact does weather have on the Super Bowl game strategy?

438.979 - 450.59 Bryan Hayes

You're talking smack to coaches. You're talking smack to everyone. And then the fact that the next play is a touchdown, double move, boom, over your head. Against him, too. Yes. And all of a sudden the Rams are right back in this thing.

0

450.63 - 471 Bryan Hayes

It was funny because when I watched this stuff, guys, I was saying to a couple of the producers above Jay's studio, I'm like, there were moments in my career where, and you can call me whatever you want for this, like, You could have said anything in the world to me, anything, and I would not have taken a penalty.

0

471.04 - 496.776 Bryan Hayes

There is nothing more important than this football team, this moment, this game in my life. I always find it confusing when it's like, I get the edge, you want to talk smack, but the idea that you're even flirting with the line of getting that penalty against a quarterback like Matthew Stafford, players like Pukunuku or Devonta Adams looked incredible last night.

0

497.598 - 510.238 Bryan Hayes

If they're up 30 and you want to kind of be a jerk, I still think it's gutless in a way, but it is what it is. Again, I can't fathom making that decision personally. I just can't do it.

0

510.338 - 531.277 Jeff O'Neill

Yeah, and yet they survived in the end. Sam Darnold, we talked about it last hour. He's got a chance to pull a 180. He was a bust seeing ghosts like three years ago, and now I thought he was phenomenal yesterday. Yeah, and he's been great all year. Number one seed in Seattle. They were this close to number one seed in Minnesota last year.

531.317 - 550.017 Jeff O'Neill

So that's two different coaches, two different OCs, two different playbooks, two different divisions. And I thought he was great yesterday, and now he's favored to win a Super Bowl, favored to be a Super Bowl MVP. If he closes on this, how do you put it into perspective, like the turnaround and the reputation of Sam Darnold?

550.037 - 580.369 Bryan Hayes

I mean, it's an iconic run. It's generational. And it's not just like one team. He was pretty much passed away. To me, there's like an overarching theme here that As the NFL and football, I'd say on both sides of the border, with the CFL as well, as the game evolves, it's become a game where coaches are just as important right behind the quarterback.

580.389 - 606.539 Bryan Hayes

And you look at Sam, and he's a prime example where it's like he got ran out of town and everyone talks about the Jets and Adam Gase and all that. He was in Carolina. Right. Like, we forget about the Carolina stint. With Baker at the same time. He was in Carolina, and it's like, absolutely not. Get this guy out of here, here. I wouldn't say his time at the 49ers was bad. He just was a backup.

607.3 - 632.069 Bryan Hayes

And then, even more telling, it's like he goes to Minnesota, has an unbelievable year. Unbelievable year, and has two bad games. the final game of the season, and the first playoff game. And they let him walk. And, again, if you're a Vikings fan right now, you're probably asking yourself, what would our season have been if Sam was our starting quarterback?

Chapter 5: What are the implications of Sam Darnold's career turnaround?

1685.201 - 1706.638 Jeff O'Neill

You've got to knock out the champ. You've got to beat the champ. So the Super Bowl is – Amen to that comment. Absolutely. Two points for the spread, two points for the total. So we will pick which one we want. You guys will get the other one. And then there's five props, each worth a point. Right? So we're each accounting for seven points.

0

1706.938 - 1713.105 Jeff O'Neill

But the way we're doing it throughout the playoffs is if you get it right, you get the point. If you get it wrong, it swings the other way.

0

1713.125 - 1723.437 Bryan Hayes

So this is my only question. You said there's 14 points. You said two points of the spread, two points of the total. There's four or five props. We're at nine. Five props each, dude. That's ten. That's ten total.

0

1723.578 - 1739.199 Jeff O'Neill

And then 14. So we're each going to do a quarterback, each do a running back, each do a wide out, each do a tight end. And then there's going to be one... other kind of yes or no prop that we get to determine, right? So if you want to do coin flip... Now, are we still rocking this?

0

1739.24 - 1753.704 Bryan Hayes

We're like, if you guys have, let's say, a tight end prop, and you call the over... 100%. And the under hits, we get the point. You get the point, yes. And we're canceling out, Doogie, we're not doing like coin toss or... Well, blue Gatorade this year.

1753.724 - 1763.741 Jeff O'Neill

One of us could pick a coin toss because it's a black or white. You know what I mean? Right. You can't do one like Gatorade because there's seven different options or whatever. Right.

1763.761 - 1764.863 Unknown

You've got to make two options.

1765.164 - 1770.613 Jeff O'Neill

Yes, exactly. So if there was a fumble total, you could bet that if you wanted to.

1770.633 - 1795.389 Bryan Hayes

This is where I get a small bit annoyed here, boys. Well... It was explained weeks ago. Yeah, I'm just saying. It was in the email, Luke. It was in the email. You want grease noodles. So we've grinded, you know, five and one. We've stayed humble. We've grinded. It's 8-4 lead. And now all of a sudden, like, the game starts and... We get the length of the anthem wrong. You can do that.

Chapter 6: How do coaching changes affect NFL players' performances?

1820.834 - 1824.941 Jeff O'Neill

I'll make you humble. Make you humble. There's the Iron Sheik old school.

0

1825.121 - 1827.946 Bryan Hayes

This thing's wide open. We're wide open right now.

0

1828.207 - 1843.172 Jeff O'Neill

All right. All right, buddy. Well, we'll do this again later in the week, and we'll catch you in San Fran. Can't wait. There he is. Luke Wilson joining us around the table. Again, we're off to San Francisco. We're going to be there at the Super Bowl next week. Of course, a game on CTV, TSN. You can listen to it on TSN.

1843.152 - 1862.663 Jeff O'Neill

Back into the Leafs, what happened to them over the weekend, what we can expect with Buffalo in town tomorrow night, McDavid and Bouchard, their games over the weekend. Lots going on. Lots going on in the sports world right now. And your boy, Scotty Scheffler, does it again. Overdrive continues. Unfortunately, the Leafs were supposed to have that outdoor practice today, and the weather just...

0

1863.689 - 1872.64 Jeff O'Neill

Completely uncompromising. Impossible. You couldn't ask people to be outside. And downtown, it's so crazy, man. There's nowhere to put the snow.

1873.381 - 1887.638 Unknown

Yeah, that weather certainly affects a boys' weekend when you're 50. Boys' weekend, just like it's not a whole lot going on anymore. You grab a dinner. We were going to go to a Collingwood Blues game in town.

1887.998 - 1888.819 Jeff O'Neill

Nice.

1888.799 - 1912.039 Unknown

One guy on the way there said, boys, turning around, weather's not even going to make it this year. Where when the guy's 25, he would have driven through anything. Yeah, to Winnipeg. To Winnipeg, dude. And around. He had to pull the pin. He goes, it's too dangerous. I'm pulling the smart move. I'm turning around. So that forced the rest of us.

1912.019 - 1929.156 Unknown

We sat on the couch and looked at the weather for Sunday, and we said, boys, we better get home. Let's pack this up. And everybody left. I love it. I was like, this is so pathetic compared to – Back in the day, it would have been, the weather's going to be so bad on Sunday, we're staying Sunday night, too.
