But I'm gonna tell you right now who I hope absolutely doesn't win the Super Bowl, and it's his own fault. Sometimes saying nothing is far better than saying something, far better. Now, if we're going to get into the history, that, that, and that team is the. Chicago Bears, and it's because of Caleb Williams. Now, last season during his rookie year, I understand that Caleb Williams, actually, there were people who questioned whether or not he could play football, even though everyone knew that the coaching staff in Chicago was the, perhaps the worst coaching staff in the sport outside of The Jets, Cleveland, maybe. We knew there were some bad situations, but everyone knew that the Giants' situation has been quite, quite poor. But we knew Chicago did not have a good coaching situation and you take the 1st overall pick, and yes, last season for about 9 weeks, the second half of the season, there were absolutely people saying already, especially with Daniel's success in Washington, that he couldn't play. But I think I, I, I, I, you know what, I'm just gonna play it and then I'll explain to you why I want anybody else to win the Super Bowl except the Chicago Bears. You know, I wasn't the biggest, I wasn't the strongest, I wasn't the tallest, fastest, whatever the case may be. Um, you know, I get, I get drafted here, um, you know, told that I'm not a special player, told that I'm not, uh, you know, a, a good fit here. I told that, you know, coach and I won't work. I'm told, you know, I can't win here, um, and so. You know, uh, I know that's gonna keep going on, um, but you know, I do take a little satisfaction and, and, and, and things like that, and, you know, being able to help this team, help this organization be a part of it, um, you know, to get to the playoffs and, you know, my goal isn't to just get to the playoffs, my goal is to win, um, and win and, and win big. Um, um, OK, let's just be honest for a second. Now, one part of that, one part of that was true. Last season, there were people who said he couldn't play even though his coach was a, a was, a buffoon. OK, I'll give him that. Let's just be honest about Kaylab Williams now for people that maybe don't know because maybe you don't follow it, or maybe if you do it, this is review. Coming out of high school, guess where he was ranked amongst quarterbacks. He went to the Elite 11, where the best high school quarterbacks, whether it's Quinn Ewers, who's the new starter in Miami, every year, there's a big group of quarterbacks that go to this thing called the Elite 11. And guess who was the number 1 ranked quarterback for multiple publications. Caleb Williams. So when people said he wasn't that good, how are they saying that when they were literally saying that amongst all the high school quarterbacks and everybody's watching has a high school quarterback in their town, he was number one. Then he goes to Oklahoma, takes the job from a guy who's currently in the NFL, follows his coach to USC, and he won the Heisman Trophy. So when they handed him the Heisman, were they saying that you weren't good enough after you were told you were the #1 quarterback in high school? Now they're saying you're the #1 player in all of college. Here's the Heisman. Then you go pro after 3 years, which is fine, from USC, and you're the 1st overall pick in the draft. Now, how are they telling you, Caleb, that you're not good when you're the 1st overall pick? What exactly would they have had to do for you, Caleb, for the, for them to tell you they believed in you? OK. Ranking your number 1 is not enough. The Heisman is not enough. Being the 1st overall pick is not enough. And now that you're doing well in year 2 of your career, all the tough roads you had. You're talking like you're Matt Stafford, who had to go 100 years with the Lions. I am telling you, this dude I have tried to defend. When he cried in college and went into the stands and he was painting his nails, I said, I don't care what he does as long as he balls out. I don't care what he does as long as he balls out. But now in the NFL as a grown man. In year 2, you know how many quarterbacks in this league, good quarterbacks, wish they could win at this level. In year 2, wish they could have a Heisman Trophy on their, wish they could have a Heisman Trophy. I'm so tired of this from guys like this, and that's why I'm not gonna hold a grudge against him forever. Maybe he'll grow up. Maybe this is who he is. We'll find out. But I can tell you this year. The worst thing that could happen is that guy win a Super Bowl this year and then try to convince all of us about the tough road he's had when he's been nothing, nothing but praised except for six months in his entire damn life. He was the best player in Little League. He was the best player in high school, the best player in college, the first pick, and a year or two, he makes it. And now all of a sudden it's like, so many people just doubted me. Who? Find them. You've had less people doubt you than anybody I've ever come across in sports. Cut it out, man. All right, I don't know who's gonna win. Maybe it's the Rams at the end of the day, maybe it's New England, maybe it's Denver, maybe it's Buffalo, but I can tell you who I don't want it to be. Caleb Williams and the Chicago Bears, and then maybe he can learn some actual anxiety.
