"Now I feel it was voted on. Right. But there was someone had a good case, yes, a God, I feel bad. I don't know who it is. Andrew Brent, who said it's going to happen. This is how these things, they did it now, and the quietly do it. Yeah, look, the funny thing about this is that, you know, when you look at it from Amazon's perspective, I don't know if they're pushing for it as hard as I want it, but it's only for the last three weeks that they'd have this as a possibility. The last three weeks, NBC already has Sunday Night they can flex. Monday Night Football taking flex. Fox and CBS can they can protect two games. Get the Amazon, you're at the 5th game now. Now, obviously, some of these weeks, Monday night and Sunday Night, they might have good games, they don't have to flex. That might help you if you're Amazon. But how much better are these games going to be? And it's only three weeks of the season, they pass that you can be on twice during the year, the big one there probably is about the cowboys, because the cowboys are already on Thursday with Thanksgiving now, they'll be on probably Thursday Night Football. And so that's a big one. It's the biggest draw. In the NFL. And so, yeah, so it's interesting about that. Yeah, there's some interesting things under the surface, but not prepared to say. More because I don't know more yet. If you had to predict what we have flex in Amazon Thursday and I football next year. Yeah, I'd say yeah. I'll tell you, yeah. That's juicy. Speaking of football, it sort of came and went and flew under the radar. I thought for what, and then I thought maybe it's just really an inside media story. And he was smart not to comment because that would help kill the story, but and ESPN person just trashing the hell out of tri Aikman after his first year there. I thought it was pretty interesting. I think if Troy would have commented, it keeps the story going. And he never really publicly commented that he's going to have to eventually because at some point he's going to do an interview somewhere and they're going to ask. What do you mean the ESPN person? Are you talking about the Monday Night Football? Yeah, well, awful announcing had an article. Where someone trashed him. Yeah. In a way that I thought was pretty

"Betting and has become more and more popular. So that's growing. And obviously, yes, if you're whether you're sitting and watching a game in the stands, no matter where it fits in the Super Bowl or where else it would be, or sitting on your phone in your house. Yeah, people are going to be the in play betting is going to be huge as it always is and it gets bigger and bigger every year, especially for this game. But yeah, people in the stadium will be able to do so. I hate the endplate betting. That's my downfall. You guys must love it. You guys must clean up 'cause I get crushed every time within play betting. I know you won't say that, but that's got to be. You guys must love the suckers like me for the end play betting. There's people do well. And look, it's a new thing. It's a new thing for betters and bookmakers alike. You know, it's been around for a while, obviously, the European books. It's a new phenomenon basically. In the U.S., you can only bet like at a half time, not after while the game is going on. So, you know, it's a challenge for me, so for bookie and for better alike. But there's definitely opportunity. There's a lot of markets to choose from. And yeah, it just made me something that over time, you get better at just like anything else. Can you get worse? Don't eliminate it completely. Oh, I'm sure you don't want me to eliminate. Last question then I'll let you run. This comes from a user. Whenever I lose a bet or a line looks fishy, I say, what does Vegas know? So please ask him that. What does Vegas know? Well, I mean, the perception is Vegas always knows. It's a big, it's a big line on Twitter. I tweeted out all the time. Vegas always knows. You know what it was Jaguar's chiefs and the Jaguars went flying right through the back door after they had no business and I think I tweeted Vegas always knows. Yeah, no, I heard all the time too. But look, if you take all the sporting events that go on, it's a small fraction that land right on the number very close. There's plenty of opportunities where the spread is not in jeopardy. The spread never comes into play. So there's no hotline to my desk from anybody. I don't know anything. I don't know anything in advance. But I know it's a common line and people love to say that when the games around spread, how did they know? Look, it happens more, it doesn't happen more than it does happen where it's, you know, it gets right on the number in people love to say that, but there's nothing that I know that I have any secrets or any insight information. That's for sure. Just curious, I know I said that was lesbian. But you mentioned, what is the hardest spec hardest? Hardest sport to set odds for. I would say definitely college basketball. Just because of the amount of teams, you know, you're talking over 350 division one teams. You're booking every game. I'm a huge college basketball fan. It's my favorite sport, but it's always a challenge. I mean, look, when you're talking about the NFL, you have 32 teams and we all know them like the back of our hand, but how much do you know Lyndon wood? Texas a and M commerce, these new schools. I mean, you have some new schools going to division one every year. So it's hard to keep up with that many teams. So college basketball is definitely the toughest to book, especially early in the season when you don't know as much about the teams. It gets a little better. Those bookmakers, when you get into conference seasons, we get close to March Madness like we are now. But yeah, college basketball and notoriously the toughest book in my opinion. Got it. Adam Poland from Caesar sports book in Vegas. And of course, the app appreciate you coming on and shedding some light and enjoy the Super Bowl. Do you work Super Bowl Sunday? How long of a day is that for you? It's a long day. I usually go on a little later, but I'm usually working. It is a long day, the interesting part is I don't get to watch too much of the game. You're busy grading prop back. So every play determines a prop that's we want to get those settled to get people to, if they want to read that in play, they're able to. So I always tell people about the only time I get to watch is in the fourth quarter. Obviously, my team's involved this year, so I'm going to try and catch a few more plays and I normally do. I don't get to watch any of the commercials. Everybody asked, do you like that commercial? I'm like, what commercial? But it's a busy day, just in the grading process and settling all those bets while the game is going on. And you know, you get out of there probably around midnight Vegas time once you have done all the settling of all the bets. So it's quite a long day. Yeah. All right. I appreciate you giving us some information here and enjoy the game and go eagles if you're an eagles fan. Thanks, Jimmy. Thanks for having me on. Thanks, Adam. Appreciate it.

He's on the SI media podcast and we talk about his first year good morning football and replacing Nate burleson and he gets into some stories when he played for the Patriots, Bill Belichick, Tom Brady, a little NFL playoff talks, and overall career sort of interview and play a football interview with Jason. And then following mccordy, we have for our weekly train of thought segment, a bunch of topics this week that Sal and I got into Scott Roland making the Hall of Fame, Shannon Sharpe, a Tom Brady, and a lot of bedding talk for the AFC and NFC title games, also some movie soundtrack talks, some rocky talk. So a lot of topics covered with both Jason and Sal. So hopefully you enjoy it.

Chris long was on the podcast last week. Tri Aikman two weeks ago, Jim Miller three weeks ago, and at the end of the year we had some young review episodes with Peter schrager, Andrew perloff and Brian Curtis. All right, let's get to this week's episode. Jason McCourty from good morning football, followed by Sal hakata and our weekly train of thought segment all right here. On the SI media podcast. All right, joining me now from good morning, football, former Super Bowl champion, played in the league for many seasons. Jason McCourty, Jason. How's it going? Going well, thanks for having me. I appreciate it. My pleasure. I'm a big fan of good morning football and you've been a great addition to the show, so I thank you for coming on. I appreciate that. I appreciate mission as well, has been a lot of fun. It's kind of been a whirlwind of these last few months retiring and going right into the show. Give me a little give me a little recap and taste of what your first full season on good morning football has been like for you. I'll start, I'll say it's a growing up every morning, at least by 5 a.m. to get into the city where obviously we do a live taping of the show, 7 to ten, I guess what I've been surprised about is how much fun we have throughout those three hours that we're on the air, whether it's in the commercial breaks of laughing or just things that happen throughout the course of the show that we maybe didn't expect. I didn't know what to think going in. I think when you have three co hosts that are so much fun and we all get along well, you're able to really enjoy talking football, I thought I was retiring, but having another job. This is just as much of a grind during the season as it was playing. I've become tight with Kyle and schrager over the years. And when the show first started, when I first got to know them, I probably annoyed them to know and about the hours. I was always fascinated. I'd be like, Kyle, what do you wake up? And I know he says the car comes and what fascinates me about the gig, you guys have. Is that on Sundays and Mondays? And Thursdays, this games that go on until 11 o'clock midnight and you were on the air at 7 in the morning and, you know, it blows me away that you gotta try to watch the game and then be on the air a few hours after it's over. That's the toughest thing and you kind of enjoy now this would be championship week and or even last week and during the divisionals because you get to go to bed a little earlier that last game started at 6 30 on Sunday I was thankful for that because by the time I finished the game I saw with enough time to get enough sleep to wake up, but that is the hardest part. Those Thursday night games, especially someone was games throughout the year just like you're watching and the score is three to 6 and a fourth quarter and it's just a brutal watch at time. They're like, nope, I gotta stay up. I gotta talk about this game tomorrow. So it's definitely 100% ground, but I will say everybody behind the scenes on the show tries to make it as seamless as possible. We do our morning start production so when we're talking about it in the car ride into the city and then we do a quick 15 minute zone call after so they make it as easy as possible for us to be able to get on and get out and actually have a good product and we're putting it on the Internet every day. How long would you say it took you to sort of get used to the schedule and the grind from week one when you get those initial the Monday night games that Thursday night games did it take you a little while to get used to this schedule or do you sort of never get used to it? What's that been like? It definitely took a while. I think even before the game started starting to show in the summer, I took at least probably about a month to two months, just getting used to waking up that early and having to go to work. I come home and the kids want to play. I'm just I'm a zombie walking around the house in a bad mood. It's like those old Snickers commercials where you're hungry and you're just snapping at everybody. So I had to figure out I'm not an early sleeper so I had to figure that schedule out and it once the game started. I was thinking probably the most difficult thing for me came on Sundays where I'm used to playing or focusing on whatever one game I was preparing for. Now it's just like Sunday to come and you're trying your hardest to watch every single game at the same time knowing those kind of prime time matchup it may spend a little bit more time on those games versus other games or that was the toughest challenge. I've never done that as a fan of truly sit down and just enjoy watching football and getting into all the teams or Ross was in all of that. It took a while of just I would have on the TV screen I'd have games going on to kind of four box going on didn't have red zone on an iPad, another game on the laptop. So it's a whole production come Sunday. Yeah. I always watch games like that and then I got rid of direct TV and I couldn't I can't wait to do it again with whatever YouTube or whatever because I got really good at watching multiple games. You know this is what I found from one to one 30. It's crazy. But then by one 30 you can sort of weed out a game or two and then it becomes a little easier to focus on multiple games. Exactly and then the longer to show when I started to get I started to understand that of getting an idea. We're going to talk about this game more than that game. And then just understanding TV where you do a show and each hour is kind of its own individual. So and then you have the show open and we go by blocks so we have the a blog blog through E and then realizing that, hey, by the time we get to the end of the show the evil Bella segments only a few minutes, I was like, you don't need to empty the bag and do a ton of research on whatever we're talking about the topic in that last segment because you could probably have 45 seconds to talk. So figuring out all the old things we laughed about it when I started to show certain terms would be used while there were strengths or college or Jamie to all producers and all that and I'd be sitting I have no idea what you guys are talking about just from not having that TV experience so everybody has done a good job of bringing me up to speed and being patient with me. Yeah. And you came in and filled the seat that was occupied by Nate burleson for many years before Nate went over to CBS mornings. And Nate was very popular on the show. Did you feel any pressure in replacing Nate or was it just, you felt pressure just 'cause you're doing TV, you've never done it. Like you said, it's a grind, Monday through Friday. Was the Nate thing a factor as well in terms of maybe nerves or pressure when you first started? Oh, for sure. I think the TV part of it as pressure and then you're kind of used to pressure all your playing games for so many years with 50, 60,000 fans watching this pressure that comes along with that, trying to perform for your team. But starting to show the social media following is big and all me and Jamie were here is that these two start Nate, we wish Nate and Kate was there like that was the added pressure that comes along with it and both of them May and K

"NBC pushes out out, he goes to Amazon, surprise there is herb street joins him when it looked like it was gonna be tri Aikman and then Sean mcvay, but it was Kirk earp she adds another gig. So he joins Al and then Mike tirico obviously takes over for Al. And then the biggest bombshell of them all is that Tom Brady signs a ten year $375 million deal to become fox's lead analyst and makes this weird situation with Greg Olsen who's on the pod last week. If anybody missed it in terms of the season, the season came and I don't think the differences, the ramifications, the what was I thought the significant thing was I think buck and Aikman really elevated Monday Night Football. Other than that, I don't know if they're full out was significant. But there was a couple of months they were it was complete anarchy with the NFL announcer. So that was my story of the year. Great time to be us. Yes. We could feel like Bill Carter did during the, you know, late night wars. When all that felt very, very important. So I'm with you though. I mean, this is one of those things and we could say this about any transaction in sports media or really anywhere else. The transaction is often more interesting on its own than what the result of the transaction is. And NFL viewing experience, this fall really changed all that much. The only difference I feel it is on Monday night because I haven't watched the Manning cast all year because I've been Troy and Joe there and I just leave it on. I don't think about it. But that's been the only I would say that's the only difference. Yeah, and I'd say the crews right now top to bottom of the a cruise are really good and I've said I think a couple times this is like the best I remember them being in my lifetime again there's not a real weak spot there that you can find but just in terms of look, there was a lot of money, there was a lot of interesting little power moves and all that stuff. But at the end of the day, what was that about? I mean, there was a moment where you could say, okay, Fox has figured out that announcers shouldn't be paying gobs of money. So they're going to go young and bet on it. But then they just signed Tom Brady for twice what they would have paid for aiming. So that wasn't an idea. Right.

"BS. All right, editor at large of the ringer Bryant Curtis is here. I felt like you were just odd, you know something happened if you're getting pulled back in. Tom Brady, who's still playing football. Just got signed to a deal to be the new Fox lead NFL analyst, which I guess is going to start TBD. And they're going to pay him ten years, $375 million. Which is seems intentional. It's basically twice as much as Tony Romo and tri Aikman. And we have no idea if he's going to be good at announcing football games. None. Zero. I followed the guy 20 years. I have no idea if he's going to be good. I'm leaning toward he might actually not be good. Oh, but I'm not willing to rule out him being good. My point is, I have no idea. He's always kept it close to the vest. He's pretty good on man in the arena, so gregarious on that. I think it's a little different when you're in the booth and you have to criticize coaches and play calling. And quarterback play, which is a huge part of that job. Strategy, do you think he'll have it? Do you think he'll do it? What your gut check? I think Peyton Manning unlocks something. That Tom Brady can do when he gets in the Fox booth. Whenever that is, TBD, as you say, no pun intended TBD. Which is be professor football. So really what you're talking about is X's and O's. You're happy, you're excited. You're dazzled by quarterback play. But you really never just kill anybody. The only time you really get mad is when football is sloppy or the ref screw up or the coach makes a bad decision. And then you kind of shake your head a little bit like we saw Peyton do on the Manning cast. I'm troubled by this. And I think if Brady fits into that slot, he could be really good at that. Because there's no question he can talk about football and explain football. But yeah, so that's how I kind of see him doing this job. Can you do your thing about what Fox really wants at the start of a football game? The first minute when we come in, we're looking live. What.
