What makes a great football movie?
Welcome to the Big Sui, presented by DraftKings. Why are you listening to this show? The podcast that seems very similar to the other Dan Lebitard podcast. I'm sorry, I'm not going to apologize for that. In fact, the only difference seems to be this imaging. I have been tempted in restaurants just walking past tables to grab somebody's fries if they're just there. That hasn't happened to you guys? I've done it. And now, here's the marching man to nowhere, fat face, and the habitual liar. This episode of the Dan Labattard Show is presented by DraftKings. DraftKings, the crown is yours. Since the Dolphins have won a playoff game, the Patriots have not merely 10 Super Bowl appearances. They've got 17 AFC East titles.
and six Super Bowl wins. And I will say again, when it comes to the ego of coaches and in general, how often people think that they are responsible for their own success without granting the idea that a lot of luck is involved and that you have to have a lot of support. You have to admit that Bill Belichick six years ago could not have imagined a scenario where there's a 10-part docu-series that rips him for not being as responsible for those victories as you might think. That also has Tom Brady winning a Super Bowl by beating Aaron Rodgers, Drew Brees, and who was the third quarterback? There was three great, oh, and Mahomes. And Mahomes, he beats three quarterbacks and some of them on the road to win the Super Bowl.
And then after that, that the Patriots would get one of his former linebackers and that Vrabel would turn into one of the sport's great coaches that they wouldn't need Belichick at all to get back there. And don't forget, with a quarterback that, according to legend, you told your social media staff to not post about because he's a Tar Heel, but he's doing it with the Patriots and it makes daddy look bad. So I don't think he's the same quarterback that the stats are rolling around on McDonald, how good he is against quarterbacks who are under 24 years old. I think Drake May is a unique talent at the position. But there are good, valid reasons to question how good that Patriots team is. And I wondered yesterday, I assumed...
that Patriot fans would fear Stafford more and not want the Rams to advance. But what they should fear is what Seattle's defensive line is going to do to cave in the right side of their offensive line, which is injured. Because that is incompetence, what you have seen from the Patriot offense to advance to the Super Bowl. Outside of Trent Dilfer's Ravens, I have rarely seen a team be this kind of incompetent at offense the last two games and get to the Super Bowl. And those Raven teams had to injure Rich Gannon on the road in order to do that by having Tony Saragusa just fall down on Rich Gannon in a way that injured the MVP. I'm hearing us talk this game out, and I guess the general feeling is that Seattle rolls, right?
You know what that sets up for. Mike Vrabel, live doggy. Live doggy. A counted out live dog in the sports biggest game? I'm just saying.
How do the Rams and Seahawks compare in football history?
Wouldn't you think, though, that the Rams were fearing most Stafford, correct? I'm sorry, the Patriots were fearing most Stafford advancing to the next game. That they would have preferred to play against Sam Darnold than Stafford, no? Nah, I don't know. Yeah, is that a bad answer? Yeah, it's terrible. I don't know. I don't know. I don't see Mike Vrabel and his staff like, geez, I hope it's— I'm talking about fans. I was talking about Patriot fans. I think they'd be more afraid of Seattle because we know Seattle's defense is great. The Rams' defense, eh, not so good. And the Patriots, like you said, offensively have struggled against really good defenses these last couple of weeks. So I think they probably would have actually rather seen Rams win.
It's also been, not to be the weather guy, but it's also been the weather, right?
What role does luck play in coaching success?
When they played against Houston a couple weeks ago, there was slushy wintery mix that they really couldn't get the field going. But the score was 10-7 at the end of the third quarter before it even started snowing.
