He’s got, he’s got props as well.

Scott Hanson, good to see you.

Andrew, great to see you.

Do we need to point at each other?

The Spider-Man, like we’re pointing- I like that.

No, no, no.

Yeah, Jori’s stuck in the middle.

Look it, first of all, the, for the sports fans that are out there that have watched Red Zone, whether it was the Red Zone Channel or NFL Red Zone through the years, through the decades, they’re like, “Oh, wow!

You know, I wonder, Scott and Andrew, do they have a rivalry?

Do they have…” We’ve been friends for We, we were in college.

We knew each other in college.

Yes.

Syracuse University.

Shout out to the Newhouse School.

I love it.

There it is, the Spider-Man meme.

Here we go.

Jori, are you one of those?

Yeah, yeah.

There’s three of them.

I forgot there were three.

You need to host Red Zone for a good decade or so- Oh, yeah … before you can, before you can join the Spider-Man meme right there.

And, and I’d say this about Andrew: First of all, Andrew’s a friend.

I mean, there really is not, from my standpoint, there’s not, like, a rivalry or anything else like that.

W- you tried to do the best show you could.

I tried to do the best show I could.

Yes.

You’re the only person in the world that knows like I know.

You know what I mean?

You’re the only hu- And I love our industry, I love sports broadcasting, I love the Super- I love all the, the media members from around the world converging here.

There’s one human being in the world that knows what it’s like to go through a seven-hour, nonstop, cover everything comprehensively in the NFL, try and make sense talking extemporaneously for that long.

There’s one person in the world that I could discuss it with, and it’s the man to my right here.

Likewise.

And I’m proud to call you a friend and a colleague.

Likewise.

Yeah.

Respect.

You saw the Lindsey Vonn news today.

That’s the I mean, that’s the biggest story.

ACL.

Y- yeah.

But she’s still gonna go.

She said she ruptured, like, at Which, if it’s an ACL tear- It’s a tear.

Wow!

So she’s got the titanium right knee- Yeah, which is- … which has been rebuilt.

Yes.

Yeah.

And she tore her left ACL last week.

Yeah.

And she’s still gonna go.

In her 40s.

And she’s still 41.

At 41.

Yeah.

Correct.

Yeah, I mean, if she hadn’t suffered the crash, which is just the most Oh!

Heartbreaking.

It’s so unfortunate, you know, the week leading up.

This was still gonna be Tom Brady trying to win a Super Bowl in his 40s.

Yeah.

After taking five years off to do TV.

Exactly!

Yeah, well, that, that’s the other- Yeah … you know, dynamic to it.

I mean, she’s already one of, if not the greatest, of all time.

To do this in her 40s, to come back, and then to have this injury, to come out and have the news conference today to announce that it’s there was meniscus stuff, I think she said- Yeah … as well.

But she said the pain isn’t extreme, the, the swelling isn’t bad enough.

She’s gonna put a, r- throw a brace on top of it.

This is I- if she’s able to do this, and she’s supposed to ski on s- Sunday!

Yes.

On Super Bowl Sunday.

Sunday morning.

Wow.

It’s her first competition.

If she’s able, if she’s able to podium, I’m not saying a gold, if she’s able to win a medal, this will be one of the greatest Winter Olympics moments in history.
