"And now I'm using it calling football games. That's a dope. When they split you up right, at least once a game I'm doing it. Sometimes beats me to it. He likes it. He got it. That's awesome. That's one of my favorite stats stuff. Wayne Gretzky never stored a never scored a goal. Yes. He'd still be the all time points leader. Ridiculous. It's just like if Hank Aaron never hit a home run. I still have 3000 hits. Right. What's funny, a lot of the dumb stuff I stay here, same thing, goes back to the varsity thing that you guys hate. My Friends from college have been hating that much longer than you it's because you're arrogant about the cowboys. It's not that we hate it. It was the varsity. I don't think anyone would call that arrogance. I'm trying to be funny, not arrogant. I realize, you know what? I was trying to be funny showing that my fantasy team is up on yours ten nothing. That is currently their score. That's arrogant. This is currently the fact if you go on our app right now. Nobody knows about this. Everyone knows that Dallas is playing on the Monday night. Everyone knows each other. The personal not everyone knows that Dallas is the varsity until you say it, and then it sounds like they just happen to play after the JV. So all I'm doing is I'm just trying to be funny here, okay? Okay, well. How does that work for you? It doesn't in this particular. Does it not? Suddenly, shoe on the other foot. That's so funny. I don't think it's the same thing, but sure, if it gets you through the segment, at least at least at least I should let everyone know for context, there's 11 points that can be had. So we're tied in one category. Like I'm a clown I amuse you. Thank you. Back to the phone lines here. Let's go to Lonnie in Los Angeles. What's up, lani? You've been hanging on for a while. Yeah, man, how you doing? Look, my Groundhog Day fantasy is super bowl. Super bowl 20. Bears destroyed the New England patriots. Now, because and because of that, I would do anything for coach dicker. Because of that, I was going to hell for coach dicker wearing a gasoline jacket. And eating a pork chop sandwich. This side of you, we love this side of yawning. We love the bear side of you. But again, because this is a Groundhog Day movie that after a while you would try to affect something differently, you would at one point get the ball to Walter Payton at least one time when you relive that. He scores a touchdown. Okay, let's make sure that. Thanks to call on you. I appreciate you hanging out for as long as you did. That is still, by the way. Travesty. I mean, I know the fridge was such a phenomenon. You've given him the football and Walter Payton's in this game finally and you are absolutely going to win it because you're trouncing Raymond berry's patriots in the Superdome and you don't give it a comma. That is travesties a word for it. Let's go to Robin and Newport Beach. Let's take your call here on the rich eisen show. What's up Robin? Great, how you doing, man? What's up? I'll tell you what. Yes. I think you might get this thing wrong, but the onus of the Groundhog Day is to change the past, not to relive it. Okay. That's what Bill Murray did. I was a kid. And season tickets to the charges of 1963, my worst memory ever was the holy roller. September 10th, 1978, at the old Murph. And Murph was one of them. My favorite sports writers. And it just killed me. And all those rules have been changed. And I'd like to change that. And if you look at the ESPN highlights of it, me and my dad walking out, my dad says, we got the scenario everything. And we walked out and we're above the thing. Now the stands in there. And they have a photo of me going like that. We didn't talk all the way back to the front. Robin, thanks to call greatly appreciate it. It's Robin and Newport Beach. I'm sorry, I can't leave this alone, but I have to push back here. The story of Groundhog Day is not to change the past. It's about changing your past ways to get through the day and change your future path because you become a better person by reliving the same day over and over again. It's changing your past ways, your bad habits becoming a better person. So the future is brighter. Tell me I'm wrong. Please. I think that's correct. That's what they have to say. That is about. But it's about what it's about. Yeah, it becomes a better person. Again, take a look furry, for instance. Just Bill Murray plays a weatherman who is too big for his britches, feels that his station in life is bigger than his actual station in life. And has no self awareness in his a hole to a lot of people around. So just imagine if they redo Groundhog Day, and it's skip Bayless starring in it. Wow. Okay. And shots fired. I mean, I don't work with man. Heard a thing or two. And you, this is that type of person that you see on the air. And skip has to relive the day what would be what? LeBron winning a championship, right? Or Dallas losing one. Like he's got to relive that over and over and over again until he becomes a better person who doesn't watch a football game at age 71 and take somebody's Jersey and ball it up even though this guy's half his age and perform art by throwing it in the trash can and then finally he gets through the day and he's a better person for it. And the future is brighter, right? I think it is. Right? I mean, it's Groundhog Day two, although you can't really have a sequel to something that's already over that you've relived and it's now over. Unless it's somebody else reliving a day that I just describe it? Am I wrong? Tell me I'm a little bit off. According to what culture dot com, Bill Murray spent about 33 years to be living the same day. Is that right? Yeah. Okay. About 12 thousand days. So almost as long as it's been since Dallas has been in the NFC championship game again. See, I'm already writing the script for skip to star in it. Yeah. You're welcome. The only thing is I don't think fox is going to produce that one. Or they will, because they actually love this sort of stuff. I don't know. 33 years we live in the same day are you kidding me? No chance. 8 four four two O four rich is the number to dial here on the rich eyes and show did

"Show where we explore all the big money issues in the world of sports I'm scarlet food here with Mike lynch and Michael Barr stepping aside for this next conversation but he will be back later on in the show Today we are speaking with Jason gannon He is managing director of one SoFi Stadium and Hollywood park which of course you know as the host venue for Super Bowl 56 Jason thank you so much for joining us I know this has been a super busy couple of weeks for you Taking a step back for a moment taking a deep breath what would you say has been the biggest logistical hurdle that you've had to overcome preparing for the big game This is not an event that has been planned over the last week or two I mean this is something that's been in the making for several years now Certainly from a security side and thinking through with the various agencies that are involved local and state and federal law enforcement officials In order to make sure that we're putting on a safe and secure event and it's certainly on the COVID side Something that we have been working through kind of over the last year or so year plus or so in terms of having bands in the building But equally as important I think one of the things that our building we do have two NFL teams So we had an opportunity over 2020 NFL games this year To go through the process both of the security side but certainly on the COVID protocol side So from an operations perspective we had plenty of opportunity to gear up for the big game Hey Jason it's Mike up in Boston I know you worked very closely with the National Football League They come in you work your hand in hand as partners There were I'm sure started more than a year ago right That's right You know the NFL I mean listen this is one of the largest events in the world And they do it every year And so they have a great advanced team some of the collaboration really starts years in advance immediately after the Super Bowl is awarded and thinking through how you can make a Super Bowl special for the city or the venue And so we've been working on this one with Los Angeles for Los Angeles with the NFL for several years now I'm curious though given that the ramps are going to play in the Super Bowl Yay exciting What would have been the ideal matchup that would have yielded the most dollar spent on neighboring businesses Because the rams are in the Super Bowl you don't have people traveling across the country staying in hotels eating out perhaps locals will be just driving in for the big game itself What would have been the best matchup Yeah well I mean listen I think it's actually interesting because I think there's actually a balance there I mean tax base is going to come from a lot of different sources And you have to remember that the Super Bowl is really a global event People have planned to come here for weeks and months and candidly years without regard to what the matchup actually is So I think from a travel and hotel there's still regardless of having a local team that will still be a healthy demand for those types of inventory But I think what you also have here is a local fan base It's energized There's a ton of events throughout Super Bowl related events throughout Los Angeles over the next week and a half There will be more people that aren't necessarily here for the game but live here that would have access to to go and spend money and get out in the community So I think although there is that dynamic with having a home team playing I think there's also a lot of opportunity to make up with that in other areas as well Jason how do you placate the season ticket holders All your season ticket holders obviously are not going to be able to get their hands on Super Bowl tickets How do you have a lot of E do you placate them I didn't listen Each team I mean from the venue perspective we're focused on delivering the Super Bowl and a great experience teams that are a part of that They have their own allocations and they work through that and unique ways What about the challenges of hiring and retaining staff for the facility especially in recent months You knew that you're going to be hosting this big game This requires a lot of people on the ground And we know that there's this labor mismatch right now where there are a lot of jobs available There are people who are looking for jobs but it's difficult to fill the positions that are open You know I mean we have again having two NFL football teams we've had over 1 million people in our building in a few short months About 6 months or so since we've been able to have Dan And we have in the foreseeable future We have a strong list of events really to keep the workforce active here at SoFi Stadium in Hollywood park I think one of the things for an event like the Super Bowl is from a workforce perspective It is truly a regional draw So pulling on resources throughout all of Southern California And working with vendors who have those resources to make sure in those networks to make sure that we're fully staffed And that's obviously it's an important part and it involves a lot of advancement planning So part of it is if you tell enough people this is for the Super Bowl They want to do the job because it's a once in a lifetime opportunity Yeah I mean listen I would be lying if I said that it wouldn't be an element of attraction there to get into building but also to be a part of delivering something that's so unique and being a part of creating a memorable experience for so many people And in an event like the Super Bowl Up next on the show stay tuned for more of our conversation with SoFi Stadium managing director Jason gannon.

"Who do you lean on in times like this right now? What do you talk to? Like who's on the Russell Wilson roundtable here for you? Yes. I mean, I think number one person I talked to is myself in my head. Self talk is everything. So once you tell yourself what you the absence of negativity to push things away and so that's really crucial. I think I talked to Tim Grover, I talked to, I talked to a few others as well. And so I stay focused on my task. I talked to our teammates as well. Speaking license into those situations. Do you ever catch yourself look down and see that symbol on your Jersey that Walter Payton man of the year symbol and just go that's pretty damn cool man like did you ever have a moment like that during the season? Yeah, you know, first game of the year. We went to MD played in FS colts and to be in that stadium is such a great tradition, obviously in playing there and some amazing other amazing players and Dwight frenzies of the world and some other great players along the way. I think about how much my dad loved Walter Payton. He was in favor of player and when I think about how much he talked about him and everything else. I don't know what grandfather talking about him all the time too as well. And so for me, just to be to be able to win Walter Payton man of the year award was of lessing. And it's been a crazy year just in general with COVID and life in general and just everything going on. People's worlds and everything else and just over the past year and a half two years to be able to make a difference for people is what I believe got put me on this earth to do. Obviously, to win games and their touchdowns and make a difference. And use that platform for good. And so you have to step up to the plate and as much as given much to required and I'm just grateful that I get to do what I get to do and I love it. So it's fun given back, but it's also fun playing ball.

He is the reigning Walter Payton man of the year, and we say hello on the Mercedes Benz Vance phone line prior to his Monday night game against the Washington football team. We say hello to Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson. How are you doing Russell? Rich man. It's always a pleasure, man. How you been? I am doing well. I'm doing better for talking to you. It's Thanksgiving week. You know, it's that time of year. It's that time of year. Let's talk about your current situation. Sitting there at three and 7. I looked it up, Russ, because I get bored. But I'm also a lead pipe willing professional. The last time you were four games under 500 was freshman year of college for you. This is not been a feeling that you've been used to. What is it like for you to be in your current state right now, Russell? Well, you know what it is is it's an opportunity it's adversity and adversity fades. If you have the right mentality, if you can be neutral with it and understand that it's a process and understand that you take every day and you try to still find ways to get better and despite all the noise is better than math and this and that, you stay focused on the task and the mission and the mission is one game one game a week. One day at a time, one snap at a time. And we got 7 games left. And if anybody can come back, we believe we can come back and win all 7. So that's what we feel. That's what we believe that our mentality. That's what we've been saying. And that's what we're going to have to do. Yeah. And when you were four games under 500 as a freshman, you won the next four in a row. So that did happen. So these things, you have had these experiences before. And I know again talking about injuries is not something it comes across sound like an excuse or what have you. But is your hand the same right now? Russ no, I feel great.

It's like all of the biggest name players that you would never expect a walter payton man of the year potentially the greatest philanthropic person in the nfl is potentially saying you know what i mean a new landscape.

"Walter Payton. Man of the year to the Peyton family. Thank you for carrying on Walter's legacy. To America to the world. Love is patient. Love is kind love changes things. Great Walter Payton once said, wear stronger together than we are alone. Russell Wilson, a great football player, even better person honored for his philanthropy. He makes weekly visits with cancer patients at Seattle Children's supports United Way and established the Why not You foundation and academy to me, you have to believe in. Why not you? You know that that thought process I get it, But that's the question. We all ask ourselves consciously or subconsciously at some point in our lives. No question. Seattle's football team hit the jackpot on a third round draft choice into 1012, a dynamic playmaker and a team leader who strives for greatness every day. The ultimate wife played this game is to win. That's been since I was little young kid. You know, I was never happy if I didn't win, so you know, ultimately, I think you know, I play this game to win championships for this game to win it all. And I think that Z really what matters most. There were times last season when Russ Wilson of the Seahawks offense was as good as it gets, then opposing teams figure them out, including the playoff loss to the Rams coach Pete Carroll change play callers and strongly indicates he wants more run place less rust cooking. The Seahawks, according to NFL media have received a couple of phone calls in the past week about possible deals for their 32 year old signal color. For now, a trade seems highly unlikely. Wilson's annual salary is $35 million, and if he's dealt before June 2nd, his new football team would encourage $39 million cap hit. If Russ Wilson doesn't lead the Seahawks back to the NFL mountaintop in the next couple of years well, the franchise might have to think hard about its lucrative investment in number three.

"And the team Hochberg phone line from WGN television. It's Jared. Peyton. Actually, Jared, I could introduce you that way, or I could just say you were the star athlete. Say Invite ER and the most valuable player of the 2014 Orange Bowl. You went to the University of Miami or I can point out that you had 33 carries for 105 yards and two touchdowns in 2005 for the Tennessee Titans. Which introduction Do you prefer? Probably the athletes from from same body high. That one right there. That one suits me the best father that I love that one way like Sena 10 30 with Dan Ronan GN sports, and we saw Russell Wilson on TV, The Seahawks quarterback or in the Walter Payton, Man of the Year Award for Charitable work Now, usually you you've been down at the Super Bowl to present that award, haven't you? Yes, this year a little bit different with with Kobe did. We just decided not to make the trip this year, But it was Bob was actually kind of refreshing a little bit because I mean, I know I don't want to sound. I know your listeners. Everybody would love to go to the Super Bowl. I've been going since 99 4. You know, my family and I have to actually be home and watch. It gave us different perspectives this time, and normally we know who's actually going to win before, like. The day before. So, like the Friday before NFL honors on Saturday, we know who the winner is. This time we didn't know it all. So it we were all waiting like everybody else. And my mom, My sister and I, we all talked and you said, Man, it was this was this is actually kind of fun to not know and not have to dress up and be home to watch it for Russell Wilson, a phenomenal guy. What he's doing on and off the field and just kind of upset that we didn't get a chance to meet him in person, But it sounds like sometime this week. We're jumping on the zoom call with him. I'm just hoping that Sierra's actually his wife is on. Call as well because I'm a huge fan of hers. Well, listen, Russell Wilson, he's donated more than a million meals to feeding America and food lifeline. He's he's helped raise the equivalent of more than 50 million meals for people who need that, so he's an impressive young man. His name. Yes, he is. And it's It's just a testament to hear his speech and know him talking about his daddy wish that his dad was here to see you know this award and that my dad was his favorite player and man, it just I just was I was in tears. The whole family was in tears because just to see the impact that my dad has, you know on the game of football, but also outside of football, and the guys wanna win this award more than they want to win the M V P award, and that it's the highest honor in in the end itself, and that has my dad's name on it. It's still it gives me the chills, and I think it takes us back a little bit. And You know, we see him his dad but the world season as you know, the superhero who, you know, war 34 on Sundays, and he was all that. But he was also just a great person on not to steal Then just honored tol him dead. It zah pretty cool moment. Yeah, I had the honor of interviewing him a couple of times and it was always a lot of fun. That's for sure. He was a joke. He was a jokester. So I mean, that's where I get it from a little bit. Just he always had to be on your toes when you were interviewing, that's for sure. By the way, I J P. I agree with you about Russell Wilson speech, Although was tremendous and why watching the awards. I think it's nice to that they Made the Walter Payton Man of the Year award. It was like the big award of the night. I mean, they kind of keep it for the end of the show, so that I think underscores the significance And and just how important this award is. To the NFL. I just want to get your thought is someone who's been to the Super Bowl every year since 1999 Aside from the obvious, which, of course, is the Tom Brady wins another one? What's your biggest takeaway from the game yesterday? Oh, biggest takeaway. I tweeted it, Dave. It's you know, everybody really wants these high flying offenses in the NFL, and that's where you know, I think that the NFL's heading and you could see that with Casey and their offense, I to me it was it was watching how defense is still are, you know so dominant that they win you championships and that you can run the football. I mean, those are two things I took away from from the game is that everybody wants these high flying off. And rightfully so, because that's where the NFL's going. But defense is when championships and being able to control the game on the ground, and that's what what Tampa did, and it doesn't matter if you're the favorite coming in. If you have a game plan, Todd Bowles had an unbelievable game plan. The other thing that jumped out to me is that we actually made it to a Super Bowl. I didn't think we would make it there with the pandemic and so hats off to the NFL. Those players for you know it wasn't perfect, but they found a way to be able to make it happen, and they made the greatest game in the world. They made it happen, and so it gave us an opportunity to be able to see it all the way through to the end, and so That's all to Roger Goodell in the NFL for being able to have those protocols in place for us to have a Super Bowl to watch win for all of us. The pride and joy have seen violators. It's Jared Peyton, and we'll be watching a deputy on TV as always. Thanks for the time this morning, Jared These guys made 46 the last word on those Super Bowl commercials.

What does that honor mean to you? I mean, you know, it means a lot more from just the sense that it's such an honor to be put in that group. I mean, every year that I've been selected. You look at the 32 teams and all the guys that are selected and see all the awesome think they're doing. It's very humbling to to read some of those lists and realize how special of a game we play. It's what I've always said, is that he really look across sports.

I'm looking forward to this me first ask you. It's been a few weeks since the end of the season and you suffered what was thought to be a career threatening injury only to make it all the way back to the postseason. I understand you've got some decisions you have to make. So how are you approaching the early part of the off season? Are you chilling with the FAM? You're playing some golf Are you thinking about ramping it back up pretty soon. Yeah. You know, kind of little mixture of everything. I mean, getting ready to get back to training and spending a little time with the family. And, you know, kind of having some quality time. They're reflecting a little bit on the wild year. I mean, obviously, with everything that went on from Coben related stuff toe, you know, also having the injury and tearing my PC on him cl and trying to make that come back and being able to play the playoff game, So it's been a bit while a few months and we're just kind of Spend some family time and getting ready to get back to work. We're talking to Andrew Whitworth. It's well said regarding that knee injury, you were told it was going to take 16 weeks to come back from yet. You're back in just about eight weeks. How were you able to do that? And what was your mindset when you began that rehab? I mean, really, just from day one. You know, once they told me that, you know Really the length of the injury, But they were like, you know, Hey, you know, we can't say that 16 weeks is for sure. I mean, you could possibly do earlier and, um, you know the playoffs is is if we make the playoffs, there's an outside chance that you could play. I really just put my mind that that that's what I was doing and and obviously there's ups and downs that go with recovering from an injury like that, But, um, just kind of staying stubborn and keep working and Was able to get out there. Obviously, you don't feel yourself completely. But I was able to be healthy enough to go play and be a part of the team and becoming uplifting thing that they have. You know, a guy like myself back and That I know being a captain and the guy that you know, definitely been there with all those guys for a while, and it would be uplifting if I could make it back for them. And the excitement of my teammates is really one of the things that made it so much fun to keep trying and Stephanie. Something I'll remember is that accomplishment have been able to get back. We're talking Andrew Whitworth. You know it's one thing to understand that injuries are part of the game. But I thought your approach to it was pretty amazing again. This was a devastating injury and to me and one of the worst possible times yet when it happened, you said that you were actually thankful for it thankful for the new challenge. Again a serious injury in a really bad time. Why was that something you were actually thankful for? Well, Jim, I think it's one of those things that if you're a leader and myself have been a captain of an NFL team now, whether it's the Rams are Bangles for almost 10, plus years and, um, when you're in those leadership positions, and you're somebody that guys look up to, and You know, you go on shows like this with you and people are commending you and saying great things about you all that I think sometimes you know, you're in a situation where you're playing from ahead a little bit and in guys may not know what it was like when you were in the struggle of the young player or you were trying to achieve something in your career. They only kind of see you once you're kind of in a groove now and to be given an opportunity to show the young guys to show the guys on my team what my commitment is to the sport and what my commitment is to be my at my best for my teammates and overcoming something that's really adverse and Realize that I may not be playing, but I could be there. For him off the field on the field is just, you know, somebody's helping him understand how to play better understand things that are coming at them off the football field. Just new ways that I could be there for him in the down time when things aren't going good for me. I think it gives you an opportunity to show what you're really about. And all the things that you speak into them and that they look up to you for You get you get confirmed those and you get to put a green check by him and they go. You know what this guy really is about all the things he says he's about and he really does approach things with a different mindset. And and I think you get a chance to really confirm the person you are to people. And I thought that was a knopper tune it for me that I decided to treat it as a blessing to get to show people that I'm about the things that I say I am. And by the way, Andrew, your teammates to a man would all say exactly the same thing about you that they do lean into that that they pick up on that that you've been a great mentor in a great leader and you've helped me through a lot of things. I'm kind of curious when you first came up when you first got into the league who were some of your teammates and leaders who inspired you when you first started in the NFL. Well, you know, I had guys like TJ Houshmandzadeh, Willie Anderson and, uh, good old center Richie Graham. I mean, there was a lot of you know of your old heads that they say, you know, guys, they're in the lady into their career. Who leaned into me and it also Carson Palmer and crossed in..

Um you know, even when I didn't have the Lions offensive line, you know, so But that's just the way I ran. Take me back to when you played your last game. And I got a call from your agent, Peter Shaffer. And he said. Hey, Barry is going to take a flight to London. Uh, right. Right, Right. Okay. Did you know prior to the game? That that was your last game and that you were going to take a flight to London as you ended your NFL career. We'll know at the time I retired. I didn't know I was going to take a flight to London because the fight the London happened in July or something like that, on the eve of training camp in the last game would have been that December. I guess of 98. I would think and so and so, but I knew that season. That was pretty much it. I knew. You know, I just I just knew that you know what I played 10 Great years and It had a great run. Didn't see Didn't really see a reason that, you know, continue. In the game. I knew that that drive and you know that kind of thing.

But I just knew that understood. Yes, it's time. It's time to move on. Was there any part of you who didn't want to break Walter Payton's rushing record? Um I don't know. I mean, That zoo tough question to answer because being a lifelong fan of And I failed and Walter Payton and running backs. I understood what that meant. But I just knew that for me, you know the game. It's just run its course. And I, you know I didn't get it in the time that I played, you know, got close enough. And this, you know, it's always honored to be mentioned with Walter. You know, so so You know, So Yeah, that's kind of hard like that.

Eli Manning and the Hall of Fame: The case for and against
"Ally manning thing announced his retirement on Wednesday retiring after sixteen seasons. He's thirty nine years old The giants quarterback who was of course supplanted by Danny dimes. This year but was a rock for for many years is now heads into retirement and it makes sense Meena In fact as a New York I all my friends are giant spans. I was on a tax change just the day before this news broke. And we're talking about that. Allies GonNA retire probably soon. Because when you look at the landscape with all these older quarterbacks on the market and what allies allies been doing the last couple of years. It never made sense that he was going to find a place to start games or perhaps he didn't want to be a backup. So this all made sense but still it. It is the end of an era in New York. I would love nothing more to come in here and defy I. I think what you all know. I'm about to say about Eli Manning I should not be wh- down calls US football cools right. Yeah I would love to say you know what guys you can't tell the story of football without Eli Manning which by the way why why is he the only person who gets that benefit say that about anyone else other than Eli. There's a lot of guys you can't tell the story of football without Aaron Hernandez put them in the hall of fame or if you want to look at pat super we were both. I mean they don't want any of them without dont`a hightower that's a holiday thing. Greg is compared. Eli Manning to know first. Ten Sahal Hyphen reductionist could be just one thing. You consider about a candidate quite well the few want ally in the holly. It's either two cases. One one is longevity. which is I think? A lot of people throw out. Because there's just too many guys who would get in by that and then the other is the two super bowls in the story thing. That's just not about how I would define it. It just becomes an argument. About how do you define the hall of fame. I think in my case against him has always been and yeah. I've been making this case for probably eight or nine years. So this is how long he's been average He's just been averaged entire career. Average in completion percentage yards per attempt. He's actually really way. Below average in the law of the interception categories passer rating these average. He's just for the time he entered the league to the time he left the league. He was an average quarterback over or that span. I I still don't like that being the conversation though when he retired. I we've had this argument so many times that I think we're just tired of it like we've said everything that there is to say about. Eli Manning in the Hall of Famer Eli Manning in general that. I actually was annoyed almost yesterday that that's the conversation when a really great player who was a big part of the league in you know no matter whether he was a top five quarterback no he never was maybe in two two thousand eleven. I went through it once. I think I had him at a top five quarterback one year top ten quarterback only one other your. Yeah that's not the hall of fame but like immediately the second he retires. The entire conversation is like the start of the public hall of fame. Talk which is GONNA be. Never any people are so confident about what's going to happen you don't I know what's going to happen becoming. We were like you know he will be in. It's like you don't know that I think the manning name like this is not a new thought but just that we've talked about royalty and stuff that he's sort of this. NFL Family fixture that. The people voting for this. I think they're gonNa Push Eli Manning right in not maybe. CBS voters down. The conversation depends on who he's against. Though you're really does. Conversation will be never ending for five years then going in. I'm sorry I don't listen you. Everybody discounts counting stats and cory will get too caught up or only point at the two rings and the two superbowl. MVP's but I just think there's something that'd be so if he didn't win those super bowls he's he's not he's not going to have him. I get that but there's something to be said and it's always been feel overlooked both on this podcast aspect in general. Because Eli can be a target. I feel like on twitter that the giants drafted him or the chargers. Technically but the giants Brought him into the team in two thousand four. They put him in the lineup in around October that year and then they never had to think about the quarterback position again for the next ten eleven eleven twelve years and I know things didn't end very well but they should have been thinking about it so when you're when you're talking about right ten years okay I'm GonNa say ten years when you think about other teams about your Brown's Mark My jets so many other teams in the league that go through constant search a churn looking for a guy and you end up with a stop. Stopgap and a rookie. You stinks and then a stop Gat and then another rookie. And maybe you hit on something. Like the SEAHAWKS got Russell Wilson. They don't have to think about anything. Russell Wilson's a better player than the but he eli for ten twelve years. They put him in there. He did his job. He was not spectacular but he was steady. You never had to worry about him getting hurt because he never did. He's the most durable the player ever. You'd never had to worry about him saying stupid something stupid to the media. He always handled that very well. You never had to worry about him. Getting into like a behind the scenes drama with with a coach and exploding and him being at odds and using the media to get a point across and all that stuff he was a Walter Payton Man of the year guy he was a total title. Good Dude and in those playoff runs. Then you factor that in for me. He rose up in historic way. And then just beat. Anybody didn't beat the Jacksonville. We'll jaguars didn't beat a Pittsburgh. steelers heat the Patriots and he'd be Bill Bell Check and he'd beat Tom Brady. And if if that's not something that should be given added points knowing who the Patriots are and what they represent in this era of NFL football. I'm sorry I disagreed to just kind of view that uh-huh yeah beat the Patriots. No he beat the greatest team of all time the greatest quarterback in the greatest head coach. I think that means a lot. His team did right playing. Okay Ah in that Super Bowl. I don't think he would say he had the best game. Even the play he's known for is crazy play. That could never be replicated. The two twenty eleven run is what I remember most fondly. Va Man. I think people kind of forget that won the last game of the regular season that they played it was against the cowboys and then the three league games in the NFC playoffs and that Super Bowl he had a collection of some of the most improbable. Low percentage awesome throws goes for five weeks. Stretch that you'll ever see Joe flacco kind of had a somewhat similar run any add little moments like that the year after they won the Super Bowl two thousand eight. He was really good throughout the year but they didn't win the Super Bowl because if eli manning they want it because of their defense I mean they wanna because of Justin Tuck and he learned of it. It's equally reductive to me to say. They won because of the argue he was part of it took to get into the. I mean the kind of connected back to the HIGHTOWER. No one's out here making a case for hightower you kind of do you. You like to throw this one in. I is the single most important outside of Brady and Gronk like the Patriots. Don't have this run of Super Bulls without dont`a hightower. I think I don't think belongs in the hall of fame but you could every all of the cases were making for. Eli You could just as easily make for like twenty other other random playwright quarterback a case you've made for you. I think is the case. Why he's a great memorable? NFL figure. It's just that's different than in. Our weather also talked about about it forever his position he was not a top ten quarterback. I would say for every year but two of his career. There's no one in the hall of fame you can say they've also said forever. You're in West. You've quoted Vince Lombardi on this that the quarterback it just the most important for a position or a position where the spotlight as and that comes with way. More pressure To it then dot high tower where his position is. I just think what you I was able to do in that spot in those two years is something you can't take away from. I and and say oh he was carried to titles. Because I don't I just don't see it that way. I think you've you stated the case very well. I think it falls shy of the hall of fame. I think if you're a jets fan like Dan or you're the browns fan and you've seen nothing but Ship wrecked chaos at the quarterback position. That the the idea that you would draft someone who would play as Eli did before a PR stunt got him benched you know. Couple of years twelve years of sixteen starts and by the way we are stunned. Got Him benched. He got himself well. That's fine but I'm saying but also the disrespect I just giants fan and you draft draft Philip rivers and he. He did what he did. But you get Eli Manning out of it and you know. He's going to win two super bowls in essentially a total ironman at the position. He's a hall of fame to a lot of giants fans I get. I don't think he belongs to the meeting. Early either reading a story just reading up on allies career. I completely forgot the whole two thousand seventeen. Ben mcadoo where's Ben these days but Jacksonville Jaguars Ben

Goodell: Manning leaves 'indelible imprint' on NFL
"We've been talking about you I manning is going to announce his retirement tomorrow from the New York giants a lot of debates going to be going on for the next five years or so where you I ranked does he hall of Famer Ballot and so on Roger Goodell just tweeted this a moment ago statement about your manning leaves an indelible imprint on the New York giants fans and the NFL his passion for the game intense preparation ability to rise to the occasion. Where the hallmarks of his career holds a special place in history? Not just for hoisting the Lombardi trophy and being named Super Bowl. MVP twice ice but for how he transcended the game with the way cared himself around teammates media and most importantly fans. That's one of the many reasons he was named. Walter Payton Man of the year on on the field and in the community he was a champion. He was also a true competitor and held himself to the highest standard in everything he did. We know he'll carry that same spirit with with him into the future. I got the same statement sent to me from the NFL network Assignment desk you missed one line at the end. Can I read it. The last line for Chris Brockman Rochman thinks. I'll never send out the same thing when Tom Brady retires. But just watch. That's what it says right here. It's amazing that he would include like the Commissioner of the NFL gladys spell. My the name right and I don't think he will do the same thing for absolutely absolutely the same thing for. He thinks Tom Brady lied about to do the same thing about. Tom Thinks he smashes phone. It's okay it's all right we can disagree on this. Why does Tom Brady always have to be brought the Lon manning and I just brought it up because that's what you brought up in the commercial break and I noticed that you were holding? You're you're you're holding your horses right there and I still want their. I didn't think you were going to God. They didn't. I thought that was an affair.
