What are the implications of the Super Bowl for football fans?

Dan Le Batard 0:02
Welcome to the Big Suey, 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.

I don't know about the rest of you, but right about when Army, Navy start playing in football, I get sad because football will soon end. And that's one Saturday, one game. And usually it's going to end. And we now on Friday are almost done with football for the season. We talk a ton about football around here. Was that the haunting Dick Hammer sound again? I think I feel like I heard the haunting Dick Hammer sound again.
Mike Ryan 1:06
I didn't hear it. You still feel that way around Army-Navy? That used to be the case. I was at the National Championship game. I'm like, man, I haven't seen Notre Dame in two months.
Dan Le Batard 1:14
Yeah. It just sort of warns me, okay? It's all about to end. It's just a bit of a warning, and then that one game is there by itself. Navy actually had a great season this year. It's not actually about... the football it's just it's every year i know it's all about to be over and this is the last game that we've got and we talk so much about football around here but i don't think for example for all we talk about it around here that we actually know how to do some of the measurements for example okay defense okay do any of you know even what DVOA stands for like just as one example and I'm not saying that this is the best example because I think most people don't know what it sounds what it stands for but it is a metric being used to measure defenses and it's the metric being used to say that Seattle's defense is better than Houston's defense and Denver's defense or
Dan Le Batard 2:12
when I don't happen to think that it is and one of the reasons I don't happen to think that it is is that my measurement system is more imperfect than DVOA and my measurement system is like well I remember what Baker Mayfield did to that defense when he went to Seattle I remember when he did the out gunslinger thing with Sam Darnold. But I'm going to take from the way that you guys all moved away from the microphones that no one knows that it's defense adjusted value over average.
Mike Ryan 2:38
I do. I'm just waiting for Chris to chime in.
Dan Le Batard 2:40
OK, so the measurement system of defenses to me, if I ask America right now, hey,

How did Drake Maye become a key topic in this episode?

Dan Le Batard 2:47
Do you think Seattle's defense was better than Houston's or Denver's? Because you saw what Houston's and Denver's did in weather to Drake May. And I just think that Drake May might be about to show everybody in the country that that defense is not as good as you think it is, even though the metrics say that it is, because it is susceptible to the scramble and it is susceptible to the deep play. I saw what Baker Mayfield did to them. When the play collapses, I still think the Houston defense and Denver defenses are better because they get pressure with four. But you can't run against Seattle. So what's the answer to my questions as when I ask you, do you think that America knows and believes that that Seattle defense is the best in the sport?
Mike Ryan 3:31
I think they believe it's the best in the sport. Do you? I do. And I know you can go back to the NFC Championship game and what the Rams were able to do. I think that's more about the guy that won the MVP award last night. And I understand Drake May was actually just one vote shy of winning the MVP. But it's not exactly like the Patriots have been scoring this postseason. They played great defenses. And I think this one's the best of them.
Dan Le Batard 3:56
Yeah, so I don't. And the reason I don't is because Denver's front four pass rush is historic. And I saw what Houston did to them and whether that wasn't that inconvenient.
