Empirically, this is the most improbable Super Bowl matchup there has ever been, correct? There have never been two teams at worse than 60 to 1 odds to start a season playing in a Super Bowl. The Pats were 80 to 1 before the season started. Seattle was 60 to 1 before the season started. I still don't trust the Patriots, their schedule, getting to play the Dolphins, the Jets, and the minor league division of Carolina and Tampa Bay and the Saints. That is a rare path to the Super Bowl where you're in the Super Bowl and you haven't played anybody. Or you've played teams that you were lucky to play against because you're going to Denver and you're playing a quarterback who does what Stidham did on that play.

What improbable Super Bowl matchup is being discussed?

Stugatz 0:52
And there's a chance that they go to the Super Bowl and then Sam Darnold turns into a pumpkin again and they go throughout the Super Bowl playing nobody.
Zach Gelb 0:57
But we should have known that the Seahawks were going to make it because this is the third straight time that when a new pope was elected, the Seahawks went to the Super Bowl as a number one seed.
Amin Elhassan 1:07
I mean, the first Super Bowl that the Patriots won, Patriots-Rams, was crazy unlikely as well.
Mike Ryan 1:14
It was crazy unlikely, but that was the greatest show on turf. Once we saw that season play out, we didn't question Kurt Warner the entirety of the season the way we've been questioning Sam Darnold. I don't think we can say that Sam Darnold's going to turn into a pumpkin again. I don't think that that's a reasonable expectation. two years.
Amin Elhassan 1:38
And he was, what, the number three overall pick in the draft? Literally, this is what he's supposed to be. Right? Right. Just took him a decade to do it.
Mike Ryan 1:46
And five teams. Amin El-Hassan is there and he is ready to get to his weekend observations. I also want to talk to him about an assortment of things going on in basketball because the Giannis stuff is really interesting. I just don't understand how the Bucs are that bad with Giannis on their team. It doesn't make any sense to me. The team around them sucks. Yeah, but still, like, I mean, if you have Giannis throughout the course of history, if you have that player, you're not seven games under .500. You see where their coach is? Okay, we'll get to him in a second. Yeah, he did get me. He cornered me on that. Is Doc there? Is it too early on the West Coast for Doc to be there? Is that too much of a test? What do you say, Doc Rivers, to what it is that Zaslow is saying where he got me?
Mike Ryan 2:32
Because the Bucs have a bad coach.
Doc Rivers 2:35
Well, first of all, Glad to be on the show. Last I checked, I'm on the top 15 coaches of all time list, and Zazz is nowhere near the top 1,500 of radio hosts. Whoa. And he doesn't even rank as far as movie experts or lovers of football either, so I don't know what this guy's talking about.
Amin Elhassan 2:58
Does Doc Rivers have any additions to our greatest football movies list?
Doc Rivers 3:05
As a matter of fact, he does. First of all, how can we not name the replacements? Gene Hackman as the old coach. Shane Falco came back. Doc's got a point.
Mike Ryan 3:19
Put it on the poll at Levitard Show. Is The Replacements one of the top five football movies of all time? Are you in agreement with me that there have not been five great football movies made throughout the history of cinema?
Doc Rivers 3:31
Oh, no, I disagree wholeheartedly. First of all, The Slander by Any Given Sunday. Woof. What are you guys talking about? That's one of the great movies. And also, two Americas. None of you guys got the LL Cool J, JB Fox fight right. What do you mean? It wasn't JB's fault. It wasn't.
Mike Ryan 3:49
Well, wait a minute. Jeremy was just reading straight from the internet. What do you mean he didn't get it right? What did he get wrong?
Doc Rivers 3:57
Oh, reading straight from the internet. When's that ever led anyone astray? Read articles, not the AI.
Mike Ryan 4:02
Kristi Noem has read some things on the internet too, you know. What did he get wrong? That's fine. You accused him of getting things wrong. What did he get wrong? Can I do this in my regular voice? Yeah, I've been waiting for that since the first question.
