00:00I don't really, I don't get it either.

00:05That's that global NFL.

00:07But can we pick a place that there isn't, you know, I mean, just absolute bloodshed

00:13every time you turn a corner?

00:14I mean, honestly, like people think Brazil's lovely.

00:18Brazil is not lovely.

00:20It's like, look, there's a clip that's making the rounds right now on on social media.

00:25It's Darius Slay, of course, Eagles cornerback, whether it's his podcast or it's on somebody

00:30else's podcast.

00:31I got no idea.

00:32But he was basically saying, like, we have now we've been told multiple times and they're

00:36about to head down there, clearly do not leave the hotel, stay in the hotel until it's time

00:42to go to the game.

00:43And then he said, I told my family, don't even come.

00:46What's the point?

00:47I can't say don't even come.

00:48Don't I want you there.

00:49I'm not going to see you.

00:50I don't want to get hurt.

00:52Like what are we doing here?

00:54Josh Jacobs of the Packers said the same thing a couple of months ago that the league had

00:58told the players and started briefing them like, listen, this is the deal here.

01:01You can't can't wear this.

01:03Can't go here.

01:04Can't do that.

01:05Why are we having a game there then?

01:06Yeah.

01:07What?

01:08What?

01:09It makes no sense.

01:10It's just nonsense.

01:11Let me tell you something.

01:12These people like soccer.

01:13They don't care about American football.

01:14I don't want to hear it.

01:16Growing the game, Scotty, we have to grow the game globally is what we're doing there.

01:21I mean, England was enough and Germany, wherever they go in Europe, they have to start heading

01:25to Antarctica's next.

01:28Scotty, we're going to play a freezer bowl in Antarctica in a couple of years.

01:32That'll be big crowds.

01:33Lots of penguins and sea lions are going to watch the game.

01:36Oh, that'll be the NFL's next trick.

01:38It'll look cool on TV, though.

01:40So we're going to make sure that we do.

01:41I've always.

01:42Here's Jalen Hurd.

01:43Eskimo pies.

01:44Delicious.

01:45Jalen Hurd says the Eagles get ready to start a new year.

01:49Another offensive system now, of course, with Kellen Moore running the show and Nick

01:53Sirianni pretty much out of the way of this guy.

01:56He's like on heroin.

01:57The way this is a really good team.

01:58It's a really good team.

01:59I got a lot of really good players, a really good quarterback, a running back and receiver

02:04core and the D-line is really good and attacking the ball and creating problems up front.

02:12And we just, you know, it comes down to preparation.

02:16You guys have heard me said enough, you know, how we how we prepare and how we have prepared,

02:22you know, and have an opportunity to display that and compete against a really good team.

02:28So he went to the Super Bowl, right, and lost.

02:30And then so is he overrated because he went to a Super Bowl?

02:35People think he's this great quarterback like last year.

02:38He was so awful.

02:40Like honestly, at what point do people just say he's overrated?

02:44Which guy is he?

02:45Is he the guy that went and lost or is he the guy last year that couldn't get out of

02:48his own way?

02:49Which one is he?

02:50Is he Trevor Lawrence?

02:51Is that who he is?

02:52Yeah.

02:53Overpaid.

02:54I think we break the tie this year.

02:55I think we break the tie this year.

02:57A lot of people would like to tell you that he was hurt all year last year.

03:01I think that that's what a lot of people want to tell you, that he wasn't himself, injured,

03:07the offense wasn't good.

03:09It was all, we'll see, I guess, because I mean, you can't have that excuse two years

03:12in a row.

03:14You got to be, like you said, you got to get back to two years ago.

03:17When you went to the Super Bowl, you had this dominating offense.

03:20I know one thing, that line's going to be a little different, right, Scotty?

03:23You know, a couple guys are a little older.

03:24Kelsey's gone.

03:25That offensive line, which is such a strength of theirs, is going to be a little different.

03:29We shall see for them as they get ready to go.

03:32Well, they say they have the best receiving core in the NFL, and let's see if he can get

03:37on the ball.

03:39Let's see.

03:40I don't believe that either, by the way.

03:42They have the best receiving core in the NFL.

03:44I don't think that's the case, but we shall see if they can get, I'll tell you, Barkley's

03:47going to make them better, though.

03:48Barkley's good.

03:49When he plays, minus two and a half for the Eagles, 48 and a half Friday night in Brazil

03:56for this second game of the NFL season.

03:59Listen, I think Philly needs it more, believe it or not, based on their atrocious end of

04:06last season, the second half of last season was atrocious.

04:10I think they need it more, but I still think Green Bay's better than them.

04:14I like Green Bay in this game, and it is what it is.

04:18I mean, I can see the Eagles winning.

04:20I don't think it's the end of the world.

04:22If they win, like, what am I going to do about it?

04:23There's nothing you can do about it.

04:24Every game, two and a half, three, three, and a hook.

04:27Every game, like, one and a half, two, two, two and a half, three, three, three, you have

04:31no idea what's going to happen.

04:32I know this.

04:33You have no idea what's going to happen, although the key will be, will they get out of Brazil

04:38without anybody dead?
